Meeting lacks student voices

University, legislators to talk privately today on intelligent design STEPHENS NEWS EDITOR | CHRISTOPHER news@bsudailynews.com

may not know as much about the particulars of course content or academic freedom, they still need a voice in the debate.

“Someone that represents [students] should be there,” he said.

“The Student Government Association should be there.”

On March 10, four legislators sent a letter to the university expressing concerns about the handling and release of information about professor Eric Hedin, who was accused of teaching intelligent design in an honors colloquium.

Instead of releasing information,

Some students are asking for their voice to be heard while legislators meet with university representatives today to discuss Ball State’s stance on teaching intelligent design.

Jesse Sallee, a junior advertising major, said even though students

Ball State officials invited the legislators who authored the letter — Senate Education Committee chairman Dennis Kruse, Sen. Travis Holdman, Sen. Greg Walker and Rep. Jeffrey Thompson — to visit campus today to discuss the matter in person.

Sallee said although he wants legislators to know his opinion, he disagrees with an open forum where all students could express their views because many students aren’t experts on teaching or religion.

“We can say as much as we want, and we usually think we know more than we really do,” Sallee

said. “But we aren’t legislators.”

Max Johnson, a junior public relations major, also said he wants a student representative at the meeting and said the university should have set up a poll to gauge student opinion.

“That way, [the representative] could have some idea of what everyone wanted,” he said.

Chloe Anagnos, Student Government Association president, said Monday that SGA may look into creating a poll, but it was not brought up in Wednesday’s Senate meeting.

Ball State sees no complaints from game Weaponry can seem like real guns, create campus lockdowns LANGE CHIEF REPORTER | KAITLIN kllange@bsu.edu

Despite 189 students swarming campus with plastic weaponry late at night, campus safety officials say they had not received any complaints during the Urban Games League’s biannual “Humans vs. Zombies” event.

The league also said it has received no complaints from the university regarding vandalism, trespassing or students mistaking the group’s harmless “blasters” as deadly weapons.

During the game, the humans use blasters — Nerf foam dart guns — to stun zombies, during the weeklong game.

In the past, the realistic appearance of some participants’ blasters has been an issue.

Many UGL members adapt their weapons, which may include spray painting the devices an array of colors, including silver or black. Burton said this can become dangerous when they appear real.

“When a toy gun looks real-

A PLAYER’S ARSENAL

istic, it’s a nightmare for police officers,” he said. “In a quick situation, they have to determine whether something is real or not and act appropriately.”

Max Temkin, one of the original creators of “Humans vs.

Zombies,” said in the past, a U.S. campus was placed on a brief lockdown after blasters were mistaken as guns. The misunderstanding was mainly a result of people not communicating with university administrators ahead of time.

The New York Daily News reported in April 2013 that a student mistaking a player for a potential campus threat may have caused a campus-wide lockdown of the University of Rhode Island.

Similarly, in December, Missouri State University considered banning Nerf guns from campus after a lockdown during a “Humans vs. Zombies” game, The Associated Press reported.

Temkin said there has never been what he considers a major incident at any of the approximately 650 universities worldwide involved in the game.

He said the number of complaints has decreased considerably since the game started in 2005.

Initially, about a dozen schools

tried to ban the game or Nerf guns on campuses. The organization helped work with the students to organize a response to the administrators. Now, most administrations are on board, Temkin said.

“When it’s new, it looks very

foreign and different,” he said. “Now, it’s become a big part of campus life.”

Gene Burton, University Police Department police chief, said there were no issues with people mistaking blasters as guns at Ball State this year.

Pietre Nordell, administrator of “Humans vs. Zombies” on campus, said the league notifies both UPD and university facilities each year before the event.

“There’s really nothing that we do around here that some-

one doesn’t know,” he said.

Burton said his department doesn’t change its procedure during the game, although he makes sure to inform his staff that “Humans vs. Zombies” is taking place.

Additionally, he doesn’t increase the staff size at night.

In the past, Burton said there have been a few calls for minor things, mostly in the game’s early years before it was an established campus tradition.

“It’s like any other university activity,” he said. “As long as they’re doing what they’re supposed to do, things work out alright.”

Overall, Temkin thinks the games are safe. While there are occasional incidents, Burton said most players are conscious of concerns.

Kevin Kenyon, associate vice president of facilities, said the department doesn’t experience major problems with the organization.

He said the worst facilities have a few darts lying around or minor damage to a shrub.

“At this time of the year, everything is destroyed from the winter anyway,” Kenyon said.

“It’s just people doing fun things. The campus is here to be used.”

SECURITY CAMERAS: Police chief sponsors resolution to expand on-campus watch | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Kubel said cameras could make campus safer, especially in lots that are used by students and community members such as the Emens Parking Garage and the lot by Worthen Arena.

“It would make students feel safer to leave their cars for a long period of time or walking around at night, knowing that there is that camera there,” he said.

Gene Burton, University Police Department chief of police, sponsored the legislation and said the university is working toward expanding security cameras in parking areas.

“I think we could use an upgrade in that technology,” he said. “Cameras provide an element of safety and security for patrons that use those

lots if they are out there late at night.”

Burton said the most common issue in parking lots is theft of personal items from cars. He said it’s rare for people to steal cars, but it does happen.

Kevin Kenyon, associate vice president of facilities, said the existing cameras near the stadium and Johnson B were added more than five years ago as a response to incidents at the time.

“In the stadium lot, we had a number of incidents of theft, vandalism and physical aggression issues and same thing in the lot west of Johnson because it is more isolated,” he said. “It was kind of wild and crazy out there.”

He said his daughter was a student before the cameras were installed and major damage was done to

her vehicle.

Kenyon said he hasn’t heard of any serious incidents since then and does not think it is as bad of an issue now.

The legislation still has to move through the rest of the university’s governance system. Kenyon said it’s possible this could become reality, but cost is an issue.

Information for how much this project would cost is unknown because it is in the preliminary stages.

“It is feasible,” he said. “One of the other reasons we put [cameras] in those two parking lots [is] they have tall light poles. There may be issues about elevation and location, but I’m sure there are solutions for everything.”

Kubel does not expect to see results right away because of funding, but he said this is a good step.

Luci Hamlin and her husband, Spc. Timothy Hamlin, wait to get back to their home on the base following a shooting incident at Fort Hood, Texas, on Wednesday.

Guman, 3 people die in Fort Hood shooting Man opened fire Wednesday night, injuring 14 others | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FORT HOOD, Texas — A gunman opened fire Wednesday at the Fort Hood military base in an attack that left four people dead, including the shooter, at the same post where more than a dozen people were killed in a 2009 mass shooting, law enforcement officials said.

One of the officials, citing internal U.S. Justice Department updates, said 14 others were hurt. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release information by name.

A United States law enforcement official said the shooter died of what appeared to be a self-inflicted wound. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing.

A Texas congressman said the shooting happened at a medical center at the base. Rep. Michael McCaul, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, also identified the suspect as Ivan Lopez. But additional details about the gunman were not immediately available.

The injured were taken to Darnall Army Community Hospital at Fort Hood and other local hospitals. Dr. Glen Couchman, chief medical officer at Scott and White Hospital in Temple, said the first four people admitted there had gunshots to chest, abdomen, neck and extremities and that their conditions range from stable to “quite critical.”

The 2009 assault on Fort Hood was the deadliest attack on a domestic military installation in U.S. history. Thirteen people were killed and more than 30 wounded.

The military offered few details on Wednesday’s attack.

After the shooting began, the Army’s official Twitter feed said the post had been locked down. Hours later, all-clear sirens sounded.

On Wednesday evening, a fatigue-clad soldier and a military police officer stood about a quarter-mile from the main

gate waving away traffic. Other lanes were blocked by a police car and van.

Meanwhile, relatives of soldiers waited for news about their loved ones.

Tayra DeHart, 33, said she had last heard from her husband, a soldier at the post, that he was safe, but that was hours earlier.

“The last two hours have been the most nerve-racking I’ve ever felt. I know God is here protecting me and all the soldiers, but I have my phone in my hand just hoping it will ring and it will be my husband,” DeHart said.

Brooke Conover, whose husband was on base at the time of the shooting, said she found out about it while checking Facebook. She said she called her husband, Staff Sgt. Sean Conover, to make sure he was OK, but he could not even tell her what was going on, only that the base was locked down.

“I’m still hearing conflicting stories about what happened and where the shooting was exactly,” Conover said in a telephone interview, explaining that she still did not know how close the incident was to her husband.

“I just want him to come home,” said Conover, who moved to Fort Hood with her husband and three daughters two years ago.

President Barack Obama vowed that investigators would get to the bottom of it.

In a hastily arranged statement in Chicago, Obama said

he was following the situation closely. He said the shooting brought back painful memories of the 2009 attack.

Obama reflected on the sacrifices that troops stationed at Fort Hood have made — including enduring multiple tours to Iraq and Afghanistan.

“They serve with valor. They serve with distinction, and when they’re at their home base, they need to feel safe,” Obama said. “We don’t yet know what happened tonight, but obviously that sense of safety has been broken once again.”

The president spoke without notes or prepared remarks in the same room of a steakhouse where he had just met with about 25 donors at a previously scheduled fundraiser for the Democratic National Committee. White House officials quickly pushed tables to the side of the room to make room for Obama to speak to the nation.

The November 2009 attack happened inside a crowded building where soldiers were waiting to get vaccines and routine paperwork.

Army psychiatrist Nidal Hasan was convicted and sentenced to death last year in that mass shooting. He said he acted to protect Islamic insurgents abroad from aggression.

According to testimony during Hasan’s trial in August, he walked carried two weapons and several loaded magazines, shouted “Allahu Akbar!” — Arabic for “God is great!” — and opened fire with a handgun.

Witnesses said he targeted soldiers as he walked through the building, leaving pools of blood, spent casings and dying soldiers on the floor. Photos of the scene were shown to the 13 officers on the military jury.

The rampage ended when Hasan was shot in the back by Fort Hood police officers outside the building. He was paralyzed from the waist down and is now on death row.

After that shooting, the military tightened security at bases nationwide. Those measures included issuing security personnel long-barreled weapons, adding an insider-attack scenario to their training and strengthening ties to local law enforcement, according to Peter Daly, a vice admiral who retired from the Navy in 2011. The military also joined an FBI intelligence-sharing program aimed at identifying terror threats.

In September, a former Navy man opened fire at the Washington Navy Yard, leaving 13 people dead, including the gunman. After that shooting, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel ordered the Pentagon to review security at all U.S. defense installations worldwide and examine the granting of security clearances that allow access to them.

Asked Wednesday about security improvements in the wake of other shootings at bases, Hagel said, “Obviously, when we have these kinds of tragedies on our bases, something’s not working.”

required to create a dish based on lobster.

He said it was interesting to work with lobster.

“It was kind of challenging trying to come up with recipes, trying to figure out which parts of the lobster to utilize and then trying to utilize the whole thing,” Briggs said. “I played around with lobsters a few years ago, so it was kind of like trying to ride a bike.

You get used to handling them and breaking them down.”

Competitors were given five minutes of preparation time before having an hour to prepare dishes. Judges looked at the aesthetic appeal and taste of the meal as well as the techniques used in the cooking.

Working at Ball State gave

Griggs an opportunity to get some practice in before the competition.

“Competition wise, we have a test kitchen on campus, and I took advantage of it as I could to get a couple of practices in,” Griggs said. “With lobster being a fairly expensive item, we don’t like to use a whole lot of them, but I took advantage of the test items and past experiences.

It really helped out this year.”

Jon Lewis, Ball State Dining director, said Griggs’s performance is something to be proud of.

“The point totals of the top finishers were very close,” he said. “We are very pleased that chef Griggs took the time to practice developing his presentation with a difficult protein,

Griggs also enjoyed the chance to meet up with other chefs.

“You get to meet a lot of other chefs from other colleges and trade stories to see what they’re doing and see what you’re doing,” he said.

Griggs has worked at Ball State for the last seven years.

He currently works at the Woodworth Commons.

Problems during this year’s Student Government Association elections can be prevented in the future if proposed changes to the elections code are adopted.

On Wednesday afternoon, SGA shared a draft of changes with the elections code.

The elections code is typically revised every fall, but SGA adviser Jennifer Jones-Hall expressed her desire after the election to see the code revised as soon as possible.

If passed next Wednesday, the elections code will give the elections board more power to decide on violations.

DISCRETION OF THE ELECTIONS BOARD

Current SGA President Chloe Anagnos said during each election, people will tattletale on each other, bringing minute violations to the attention of the board.

It is typically an unspoken rule, she said, that these violations are up to the board’s discretion, but it would be included in writing.

“It’s always a rule of thumb that if there is a stupid poster violation that it is up to the discretion of the board, but it has not been in the code,” Anagnos said. “Let’s put it in writing so people know.”

In this year’s election, social media violations were brought to the elections board after the election, in an attempt to disqualify Cardinal Connection. The elections board decided in a vote the Wednesday after the election against the alleged violations.

If changes are passed, all violations will be up to the discretion of the elections board, and the SGA adviser must approve it.

RUN-OFF ELECTION

Jones-Hall and Alex Sventeckis, former elections board chair, expressed their concern over the fact that there was no method for contesting an election.

a run-off election, specifically if there is less than 51 percent of the vote, which is another potential change. This is a decision made with the discretion of the president and the adviser.

Anagnos said this clause should give the board, president and adviser more power to make decisions.

“It would have been nice if Jones-Hall and I would have had more say in the election,” she said. “If there were more voices in her office for two hours, we may have come up with a solution sooner.”

NEUTRALITY OF STANDING EXECUTIVE BOARD

This year, there were concerns about the relationship between current Vice President Alyssa France and Cardinal Connection, but no violation was found because it was not against the elections code.

With the changes, the elections code would explicitly state that executive board members are paid employees of the university and cannot “help or fund” candidates or a slate.

“Just because of allegations,” Anagnos said. “I think JonesHall is going to have more power and say, ‘You are a paid employee, you need to be neutral.’ I don’t think we will have any more issues with that [in the future].”

UNIVERSITY REVIEW BOARD

During this year’s election, candidates were told to adhere to the Ball State Student Code of Conduct, but it was not officially written into the elections code.

The changes address that problem and direct any violations of code to the University Review Board instead of the elections board.

The University Review Board will deal with appealing fines.

POTENTIAL CHANGES TO THE CODE • The winner requires a majority vote of 51 percent.

• In the event of a run-off election, the president and adviser will make the final decision whether or not the run-off election will take place.

• Each member of the potential executive slates must take 12 credit hours at the time of nomination.

• Candidates will conduct themselves according to the Student Code of Conduct. If this is violated, it will be sent to the University Review Board.

• The elections board chair will determine the official close of the nomination convention.

• Candidates must stop usage of Ball State webmail, Banner, Blackboard or Gradebook for campaigning 24 hours before the election.

• Candidates are responsible for official campaign material, including social media.

• Violations are up to the discretion of the elections board with approval of the SGA adviser.

• The fines are separate from the campaign fund.

• Campaigning shall not obstruct functions of university. This includes instructional time.

• The current executive slate will not run, fund or help any candidates or slates.

• Candidates appeal penalties with the University Review Board.

• If a violation is equal to the maximum amount, the slate will have the opportunity to contest it through Student Rights before it is made public to the student body.

• The sheriff member of the elections board, who conducts investigations, will be appointed by director of Student Rights instead of by the SGA president with the approval of the SGA adviser.

SGA BILL ASKS FOR EVALUATION CHANGE

A bill debuted Wednesday in the Student Government Association Senate could ask the university to change its policy regarding teacher evaluations and grades.

The resolution requests the university to stop withholding grades unless students complete their course evaluations. Instead, it asks to use incentives for participation in course evaluations.

“Instead of the negative connotation that goes with them, [it would be] more positive,” said Carrie-Ann Staggs, an SGA senator and author of the resolution.

SGA adviser Jennifer Jones-Hall said taking this resolution through SGA could place the organization in a precarious position.

“If this one does move forward, you have to get faculty to sign off on it,” she said. “If this goes to University Senate or Campus Council, they will shut it down and blame it on the students.”

SGA Vice President Alyssa France agreed, calling it “very touchy.”

Senators discussed possible incentives like moving up time tickets for course registration because it would be free to the university.

Staggs is the undergraduate adviser to the Teacher Evaluation Committee. The committee talked about proposing this change and she said because it is a student issue, she offered to bring it through SGA Senate.

Wednesday’s meeting will be the last opportunity to pass the resolution.

Alumna to pitch idea to ‘sharks’ Graduate will appear on ABC reality show for entrepreneurs

KARA BERG STAFF REPORTER | knberg2@bsu.edu

A Ball State alumna will appear on Friday’s episode of “Shark Tank” to pitch her product to the millionaire and billionaire “sharks.”

Courtney Turich, a 2000 Ball State graduate, and Christie Barany, her business partner, will try to sell the idea of their Monkey Mat to the self-made, multi-millionaires and billionaires on the ABC reality TV show to gain the tycoons as sponsors.

The sharks will grill the two about their product, which is a compact blanket used as a portable sitting surface at places like airports, soccer games and outdoor activities. The Monkey Mat earned Turich and Barany the Women Inventor Award in March 2013 from the Women Inventorz Network.

Turich said everyone who goes on the show hopes to gain exposure, first and foremost, and to learn from top entrepreneurs.

“Not to mention the connections they can make for you,” she said. “It’s just an unbelievable experience, whether you get a deal or not get a deal.”

Turich and Barany taped the episode in July 2013 and have known the results since then, but Turich said they have been under a contract that does not allow them to talk about the results.

She said going on the show was intimidating.

“On the show, you only see probably 10-15 minutes of a clip, but most entrepreneurs are in front of the sharks pitching for at least an hour or two,” Turich said.

She said on set, it was quiet and intense until the pitching started. She said the tycoons talk over each other, attacking them with questions.

“They really want you to ... talk the whole time you’re presenting and answering questions,” Turich said. “And while you’re answering questions, sharks are pegging you from every direction.”

She said people who want to start their own business need to know the numbers inside out.

“A lot of entrepreneurs go on there and they don’t un-

derstand the numbers behind their business,” Turich said.

“No one’s going to invest in your business if you don’t know your financial numbers.”

She said it was important to have a great story and an appealing product with conviction.

“They have to see that you really believe in it,” Turich said.

“They want to see that they’re buying into people who are talented as well and they want to make sure they believe in the people they’re working with.”

She said part of her suc-

cess came from her time at Ball State where she learned how to be social and how to work with different types of personalities.

Mike Beer, interim center coordinator at the Ball State Entrepreneurship Center, said they prepare students to start their own business by giving them practice. He said “Shark Tank” is a good representation of how a student might be asked about their product.

“Our students go through dozens of presentations,” he said. “... And we give them

feedback on how to make it better, how to present something better, how to make a point better, how to build their argument better.”

To graduate with an entrepreneurial management degree at Ball State, students have to go through “E-Day.” Beer said for “E-Day,” students go to downtown Indianapolis and pitch their business plan to a panel of successful professionals who have no relation to Ball State.

“If they get the thumbs up, they get to graduate two weeks

later,” he said. “If they get the thumbs down, they fail the class because it’s A or F — pass or fail — and they do not get to graduate with the major. So our students literally put their graduation on the line.”

obstacles when the water line actually froze.”

Forthofer said even though the building is opening to the public today, there is still work to be done on the building.

She said she hopes this can be a place where students and members of the Muncie community can collaborate on projects together to make a more harmonious community.

“Long term, there has been talk of doing a makers lab, which is where students and the Muncie community would collaborate on design-build projects,” she

said. “But it’s still up in the air.”

Swartz said the group is still finding its way in the process.

“We are starting it up as a place to display student, fac-

ulty and community work of a creative nature,” she said. “... I think it could be a community meeting space or a workshop place.”

MUNCIE MAKES: Students spend semester revamping building to improve community | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 The students have been revamping the physical space, such as refinishing the floor and refurbishing the bathroom.

The group has spent $1,939 to cover the costs of the renovation. Support and donations have come from Heintzelman Hardwood Floors, Scherrer Construction Co., Inc., the CAP dean’s office and the Provost Immersive Learning Grant.

Ellen Forthofer, a junior urban planning major, is one of the students involved. She said the future looks bright for the Muncie Makes Lab.

“Everybody sees the potential in this place, and they want to help make it a reality,” she said.

At the First Thursday Gallery Walk, the first floor will not be used. However, the group wants the floor to be in a usable state for regular workshops and projects in the community in the future.

Senior architecture major Joe Pavilonis said he’s had a positive experience working on the project, adding that the students involved have been able to overcome obstacles along way. “The timeline has definitely been a challenge

REPRESENTATION: Student, professor think personal religion has no place in class | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 She said neither SGA nor any other student, including the student member of the Board of Trustees, will be involved in the meeting.

“I think [SGA’s] approach is to just wait and see what is said [or] done afterwards,” Anagnos said. “We can’t act until we find out what’s going on.”

She said as far as she knew, no students had expressed interest to SGA about wanting to be in the meeting or wanting a representative.

“I think, like most people, a lot of students just don’t quite understand what is going on,” Anagnos said.

DISCUSSING RELIGION

In the letter, the legislators flagged President Jo Ann Gora’s statement that said religion had no place in a science course.

“We are disturbed by reports that, while you restrict faculty speech on intelligent design, BSU authorizes a seminar that teaches ‘Science Must Destroy Religion,’” the letter reads.

The lawmakers questioned the legitimacy of Ball State’s policy restricting religious discussion and canceling Hedin’s class.

Sallee said although he may not completely understand the situation, he absolutely disagrees with professors discussing their opinions on religion in low-level, required classes.

“For 100-level classes, profes-

sors need to keep their opinions out of it,” he said.

However, he said it should be open for debate in more advanced science courses, so long as students know what they are getting into.

Daniel Anderson, a sophomore telecommunications major in the Honors College, said he believes honors classes are held to a different standard than traditional classes.

“Honors courses are different — we get all these different beliefs,” he said. “I think this is good. I don’t want to be a onesided person.”

Alexis Coburn, a freshman pre-medical biology major, said she thinks professors should have the right to speak about their beliefs, but not during class time.

“If a group wants to meet with [a professor] after class, they can learn about it like that,” she said.

THE LAW

Douglas O. Linder, a University of Missouri-Kansas City professor on the First Amendment, said an informal discussion not on class time is the only way a professor should be able to inject a religious argument into a science class.

“Obviously, the professor is free to invite students over and expound on his ideas,” he said. “Clearly, if someone in math class starts talking about Deuteronomy, they aren’t do-

ing their job.”

However, using their position as a professor to teach students about a religious idea is not only counter to constitutional law, but reflects poorly on a university, he said.

“I think that it is probably inappropriate use of state funds,” Linder said. “And could very well be a violation of the Establishment Clause of the Constitution.”

Terry King, Ball State provost, said in June that he had questions for Hedin about whether a discussion about religion was appropriate in an honors colloquium class because they are largely discussion based.

“This is an honors course, and it may be that discussion is appropriate,” he said at the time.

“But I don’t know yet.”

Ball State consequently changed its honors review policy after receiving flak for the Hedin controversy. The process was changed from an informal review policy to the implementation of an advisory council and four subcommittees to review classes each semester.

Meghan Miller, a freshman architecture major in the Honors College, said she disagrees with the notion that honors courses should be treated differently because they are discussion based.

“Colloquiums ... are still a university class and need to be held to the same standard,” she said.

With just weeks remaining in its season, the Ball State women’s tennis team goes on the road to play Akron.

BREAKDOWN BASEBALL at Northern Kentucky

Ball State’s match up with Northern Kentucky on Wednesday came to an abrupt end when rain and lightning forced the game to be called in the seventh inning.

NCAA rules state that if a game is prematurely stopped due to weather and at least five innings have been played, then the score will resort back to what it was after the last completed full inning.

In this instance, the last full inning the teams played was the seventh, which Northern Kentucky finished leading 4-3. The Cardinals used an eighth inning rally to tie the score, and with runners on first and second, the team was in position to do further damage until play was suspended.

Right fielder Sean Godfrey hit his Mid-American Conference leading fifth home run for Ball State in the top of the first inning, and center fielder Alex Call continued his hot streak with two hits, an RBI and a run scored.

The Cardinals’ next game is scheduled for Friday against conference opponent Eastern Michigan.

BREAKDOWN MEN’S TENNIS at Chicago State

Approaching the final weeks of the season, the Ball State men’s tennis team travels west to take on conference opponent Chicago State today.

It’s just the second of five conference matches of the regular season. Ball State currently sits at 8-8 overall and 0-1 in the Mid-American Conference.

The team is coming off a close 3-4 loss to Toledo on Sunday and has dropped three of the last four.

Freshman Patrick Elliott, who is 16-10, and junior Ray Leonard, who is 16-13 on the season, lead Ball State.

Last season, the team knocked off Chicago State easily, winning in a 7-0 rout.

The match begins at 2 p.m.

PHOTO PROVIDED ATHLETICS MEDIA RELATIONS

Head coach Tyra Perry speaks with outfielder Loren Cihlar during a practice. Perry inherited a team that finished 18-3 in the Mid-American Conference last season.

When Ball State hired Tyra Perry, she had a luxury most new coaches don’t have — inheriting a team that finished 20 games above .500.

Perry was named the eighth head coach in Ball State’s history when she took over for Craig Nicholson. Nicholson, who spent seven years with Ball State, was hired by Arizona State in the offseason.

Softball has long been a prominent part of Perry’s life, and she was excited for the opportunity to coach Ball State.

“I thought it was a great school with a lot of potential,” she said. “I thought the program was in excellent shape and coach Nicholson had done a great job of creating a winning attitude and winning tradition.”

Perry always focuses on maximizing players’ ability, tracing back to her days as a player at Louisiana State University.

The two-year letter winner credits her college coaches for helping her develop leadership skills that she still uses today. “[Building a player’s ability is] just really trying to see what each player is capable of and letting them know what we expect that from them every single day,” Perry said.

EASING THE TRANSITION

Though Perry’s coaching style differs from Nicholson’s, Ball State players welcomed her from the start.

“She was very personable and very friendly,” senior third baseman Audrey Bickel said. “She knows what

she’s doing. So, it was an overall good first impression.”

All four seniors noted that Perry is much different than Nicholson.

They have embraced her leadership and understand she can help them accomplish their goals.

“She’s very patient with us,” senior outfielder Jennifer Gilbert said. “She knows if we don’t get something right.

We’re given an opportunity to correct it and hopefully be better the next time.“ Players also cited attention to detail and accountability as helpful qualities that Perry has brought to Ball State.

A more laid back, quiet approach has kept Perry’s players excited for practice and games. They’ve also embraced Perry’s vision for the program.

“She’s very focused on us and that helps us,” senior Lauren Schroeder said.

“We know she’s here to win and she will do whatever it takes to win and get us to the next level.”

BETWEEN THE LINES

When she took the job, Perry was forced with merging two different styles of play. Perry’s ideal offense uses small ball, a combination of speed and base running that can be successful without power hitters.

Ball State’s current roster uses power hitting throughout the lineup. Her 12 years of coaching experience, culminating in 342 wins prior to being hired at Ball State, helped make the process much smoother.

“This is by far one of the best hitting teams I’ve ever been apart of,” she said.

Perry’s one-on-one coaching style has driven players to buy into her team-oriented system.

“She makes sure that we each have our individual styles, and she’s not trying to mold us into something that we’re not,” Schroeder said.

Individuality is important for Perry in order to get the best out of her players. Teamwork, however, is an even bigger key.

Schroeder said Perry often gets excited at third base and will break into a “happy dance” when a player makes a good team play.

MOVING FORWARD

Perry will lead the Cardinals into MidAmerican Conference play following a heavy tournament schedule to start the season. One of Perry’s early goals was to build a strong schedule, increasing the team’s chances to acquire an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament.

She said the transition into Muncie has been as smooth as the one on the diamond.

“Even just going to the people I’ve met on campus and in the community all the way over to my neighbors,” she said. “Just great, great people in the Midwest.”

Perry has experienced success and many accolades in her career and looks to continue this during her time in Muncie as the coach of the Cardinals.

HOLOCAUST: Survivor shares her road to forgiveness after treated as ‘test subject’ | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 During their year in Auschwitz, the two were subjects in Dr. Josef Mengele’s now infamous genetic experimentations on twins. Mengele’s experiments varied from harmful to agonizing and lethal during his time at Auschwitz.

“There was a time when I was very close to dying in camp, but I knew that I had to take care of Miriam, so I fought and survived,” Kor said. “Ever since then, I’ve been a survivor, and I want people to fight in their own lives.”

She has been giving lectures about her time in Auschwitz and her time after the liberation for 36 years. Today, she will speak at 4 p.m. in John R. Emens Auditorium.

It was her story and her message of survival and forgiveness that sparked the interest in bringing Kor to Ball State, said Steve Robert, chairman of the Committee for a Positive Influence.

“There will be a time very soon that there won’t be a surviving Holocaust survivor alive,” Robert said. “She’s a part of history, and no matter how sad that part is, it’s still important to hear these stories so we won’t forget the ef-

fects they had on people.”

The Jewish Studies Program brings Holocaust survivors to campus annually to speak to a body of about 400 students, but with the help of the Committee for a Positive Influence on board this year, Kor will be able to speak to more than 3,500 people.

In addition to Kor’s story, the event will include a 40-minute documentary at 3 p.m. and an address from Muncie Mayor Dennis Tyler. The audience also will have an opportunity to ask Kor questions.

“The most powerful part of the presentation will be hearing her story of forgiveness,” Robert said. “She can teach us a lot of about the power of it and how it can affect us.”

At an early age, Kor started taking care of herself. In the years that followed the separation from her family, she witnessed how cruel people can be, experiencing a life wrought with fear. After the fear subsided, she picked up ways to move on with her life.

But it took nearly 60 years for Kor to learn how to forgive.

Now, when she gives presentations to high schools, college campuses, medical professionals and even visitors of Aus-

chwitz, her main message is the power of forgiveness. That wasn’t always the message she offered audiences, though.

Kor spoke publicly about her experiences for the first time in 1978. After seeing the NBC miniseries “The Holocaust,” she contacted the station and asked if they had any footage from the camps so she could see if she

recognized anyone. Unfortunately, the network didn’t.

But after finding out that she was a survivor, the station asked her to speak on camera and would air the interview after the final segment of the show. After the airing, she started telling her stories to anyone willing to listen.

“I was extremely nervous during my first lectures,” Kor said.

“I would let my brain wander and my mouth would follow,

Holocaust, said this kind of mentality is not rare.

In his class each semester, Felsenstein asks his students if they would be willing to forgive Nazis if they were survivors. In the past, the students were divided down the middle.

This semester, he said almost no one said they would be able to forgive the Nazis.

This will be Felsenstein’s first time seeing Kor, and he looks forward to the Q&A after Kor’s presentation.

“It’s going to be exciting to see how people react to her and what questions they will be asking,” Felsenstein said.

“With the mixture of students and residents of Muncie, it’s going to be really eye opening for a lot of people.”

Kor said she will quit lecturing at schools across the nation when either her brain or her mouth stops working.

“When people talk about the Holocaust, they speak about what these ‘miserable monsters did to all these dead people,’” she said. “You can’t learn anything from dead people unless you are [an] anthropologist. Those that survived came out of Auschwitz with a message of hope, and that’s what I want to share.”

It was 10 years later that she started to forgive. She had been lecturing about the power of forgiveness, but she never felt like she forgave the men who destroyed her family.

At her own initiative, Kor arranged a meeting with Dr. Hans Münch, a Nazi who performed experiments at Auschwitz alongside Mengele. She hoped to find out more about the tests they ran on her and her twin.

Kor was nervous that Münch would not treat her like a human being, but like the test subject she was treated as in Auschwitz. She was surprised when he treated her with kindness and respect, but couldn’t offer her any information about the experiments performed on her.

She decided to write him a thank you note.

“How do you write a thank you note to a Nazi?” Kor asked. “I just took a piece of paper and pen and started writing, and soon, I realized that I had forgiven him and all the others for their actions so long ago.”
