Students from across country gather to learn at Music For All ALAN HOVORKA CHIEF REPORTER | afhovorka@bsu.edu
Wide-eyed high school students packed into Sursa Hall on Saturday for the first day of a national band camp on Ball State’s campus. “The first and last job in leadership is ‘Thank you,’” Fran Kick, leadership coordinator for Music For All, said to an audience of more than 500 during the welcoming meeting for the leadership camp that kicked off the 39th annual Summer Symposium. The camp will draw more than 1,000 high school music students and directors to Ball State until this Saturday. Just half of the attendees were on campus for the opening weekend because of the leadership camp. The rest will arrive today. Kick said to the first arrivals that leadership is “all about attitude and gratitude.” To illustrate this point, he talked about the most powerful gesture an audience can give to performers: the standing ovation. Kick picked one student from the crowd and made her stand on stage and introduce herself to everyone. He asked the audience to cheer as loud and energetically as possible for her. “Did you guys feel that?” he asked. “The more you put into, the more you get out.” Brianna Miller, a drum major from McEachern High School in Georgia, couldn’t agree more with Kick. She said she would listen to his speeches every day if she could.
sible is the greatest appeal of the program, said Christopher Luke, chairperson of the Department of Modern Languages and Classics. Luke said 10 to 15 students take the courses each summer, keeping alive the program that has been around

Groundbreaking marks end of Gora era New football complex opens, as university nears fundraising goals DAKOTA CRAWFORD STAFF REPORTER | dmcrawford@bsu.edu Some people don’t remember the skepticism Jo Ann Gora faced when she was named Ball State’s president a decade ago. She had never worked with a Division I athletic program before, and so the question was raised. Would Gora make athletics a priority? “Literally, in my first year, I raised the money to build Scheumann Stadium, and last year, I raised the money for this Cardinal Commitment campaign,” Gora said. “In the middle, I raised a lot of money for academics and other kinds of campus improvements.”

“It’s a symbol of this campaign, and what I have tried to stress,” she said. The Cardinal Commitment campaign, a fundraising effort of $20 million within Ball State’s athletic department, is nearing its end. The school has surpassed $19 million, Gora said Thursday, proving her point. She said the key to Ball State’s future growth is private donation. State funding alone won’t do the trick, thus making donors like the Venderlys imperative. After years of joining the Venderlys at public events and as passengers on flights to away football games, Gora has bonded with the couple that has been loyal to Ball State. She even gave Ron Venderly a Ball State tie Thursday and made sure he wore it.
