6-MONTH WARMUP Ball State student-athletes get creative and stay fit during their extended periods at home.

Connor Granlund Reporter Instead of finishing their spring seasons or making improvements with their teams, Ball State studentathletes found new ways to work out at home during their offseason.

On March 11, 2020, Ball State announced the cancellation of all inperson instruction for the remainder of the school year in response to COVID-19. As a result, MidAmerican Conference spring sports ended abruptly, and student-athletes were sent home to finish the spring semester.

With the inability to meet in person, training sessions for fall athletes were halted, and those with winter and spring seasons were unable to continue playing.

However, this did not stop studentathletes from staying active.

Ball State Women’s Volleyball sophomore defensive specialist Chloe Rickenbach said the Cardinals’ training staff sent players weekly workout plans and actively kept the team connected.

“It was weird at first,” Rickenbach said. “Being a

freshman, I didn’t have my first offseason, which is when everyone is supposed to make big gains. One thing that really helped me with the training schedule was the weekly Zoom meetings that really helped us stay on track.”

Other teams participated in similar meetings and workout planning. Ball State Softball junior utility player Amaia Daniel said her coaching staff consistently met with players individually, making sure they were staying physically and mentally healthy.

“We would always meet with our team

I think we have all gained a new type of appreciation. We are all just really pumped to work out together again and to potentially have a season and a chance to play soon.”

Keeping theater

ALIVE

Department of Theatre and Dance navigates COVID-19.

Grace McCormick and Mackenzie Rupp Assistant News Editor and Reporter In March 2020, after over two months of rehearsals, the cast of “Intertextuality” learned it wouldn’t be able to perform its show on Ball State’s campus as planned due to in-person events being suspended.

“Of course, everyone was a little devastated, and we basically thought we would never get a chance to do the show,” said Raven Williams, junior dance and psychology double major.

“Intertextuality” was scheduled to debut in University Theatre April 23. Williams said choreographer Mya Ajanku emailed the cast in July to tell them they would be able to

perform during the fall 2020 semester.

Williams said some of the choreography from the spring was changed to allow for social distancing and decrease contact with frequently-touched objects.

Additionally, all performers wore masks during rehearsals and performances.

Sarah Jenkins, managing director for the Department of Theatre and Dance, said audience seating for in-person performances is socially distant, but people from the same household are allowed to sit next to each other. All audience members are asked to wear masks, and contact information is taken before the show begins in case contact tracing is necessary.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo ordered certain schools in Brooklyn and Queens to close Oct. 6 in an attempt to prevent coronavirus outbreaks, saying schools hadn’t been testing students for the virus.

Cuomo said he couldn’t guarantee these schools were safe to attend after discovering the coronavirus was spreading faster in those ZIP codes than in other areas of the city.

THEATER Continued from Page 03

Jenkins said the seats in University Theatre are disinfected before and after each use, and the department is transitioning to paperless programs to minimize surface contact. She said it wasn’t until June 2020 that Department of Theatre and Dance faculty chose what shows it would perform for the 2020-21 school year.

Typically, Jenkins said, faculty in the department choose what shows they want to perform by October of the previous school year. Faculty and students within the department knew the planned shows for 2020-21, but some titles needed to be changed.

“We shifted around our production season, and this summer, decided to find other titles that would work better with COVID [and] physical distancing on campus,” Jenkins said.

“Intertextuality” finished its in-person performances Sept. 27. Director and choreographer Jenn Meckley said each performance had at least 60 audience members.

“I didn’t know what to expect,” Meckley said.

“I felt like it could go both ways. People may have been hesitant to come to the performance because of the virus, or they were really itching and willing to go see this live performance because they were wanting that social interaction.”

Meckley said performers wore masks in their own squares that were marked by taping the floor of dance studios during rehearsals.

People have families from all across the country, so that’s been something super cool is anyone can really see it from the comfort of their own homes.”

- MAGGIE PERISHO, Junior directing major and director of “Overpass”

“As a choreographer, I tried to keep the camaraderie and the community aspect the same,” Meckley said. “I’m trying to still voice the importance of dancer interaction inside of the space. However, a lot of it felt very different.”

Williams said performing with a face mask required her to be more expressive with her eyes and body while performing.

“We still had our bodies, so we had to take that extra step to add that extra detail to our bodies while dancing,” Williams said. “I think that really helped get the message across, and it was received really well by the audience.”

Williams said she was afraid at first to perform wearing a mask to audience members wearing masks.

“One of the biggest things as a performer is you feed off of the audience’s energy,” she said. “The first

couple of runs, it was a little awkward, but I think that barrier broke because the audience saw that we were having energy and having a good time.”

In addition to socially-distant in-person shows, Jenkins said the Department of Theatre and Dance will be presenting some shows live over Zoom.

“The challenge for us is to figure out how to differentiate ourselves with Zoom productions because so many theater and dance companies are in the same predicament,” Jenkins said. “We have to ask, ‘How can we creatively produce this performance so that people want to watch it and sit for an hour and watch a streamed version?’”

Maggie Perisho, junior directing major and director of “Overpass,” said the playwright gave her permission to perform the show virtually.

“Overpass” opened over Zoom Oct. 6.

Perisho said people who purchased tickets were emailed the Zoom link and password, and each actress was in her own room.The cast only has two actresses, Perisho said, and all but one of their rehearsals were virtual.

Because of the smaller cast, she said “Overpass” was easier to perform online than other shows. Perisho said she made the decision to move “Overpass” online early in the fall 2020 semester because she thought that would be the safest decision.

Though she misses in-person interaction with her cast, Perisho said a Zoom show has benefits, including being able to accommodate more people than the Cave Studio Theatre could usually seat.

“People have families from all across the country, so that’s been something super cool is anyone can really see it from the comfort of their own homes,” she said. “We don’t have to worry about it selling out … and it’s only $5.”

Another benefit of virtual shows, Jenkins said, is students will have experience in new modalities for live theater, which she thinks could continue past the pandemic.

“I don’t think any of us know for sure how

long this Zoom online modality is going to last,” Jenkins said. “I feel like it’s a great opportunity for the students to be exposed to something that could very possibly be a legitimate way of experiencing theater and dance in the future.”

Rock and roll around the world

VECTEEZY, PHOTO COURTESY

Ball State professor and Fulbright winner uses music to teach history.

Charles Melton News Editor When asked who his favorite rock and roll musicians were, he couldn’t decide on one. Paul McCartney, John Lennon and Pink Floyd were the three artists Sergei Zhuk, professor of history at Ball State, listed.

Zhuk received a Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program award in November 2019 to teach at Guangzhou University of Foreign Studies in China. The award includes federal grant money to allow Zhuk to travel and teach in China.

He was offered to teach two types of courses at Guangzhou University, he said. The first course is about colonial America and the second on the “cultural Cold War” and identity in the Soviet Union.

To teach on the “cultural Cold War,” Zhuk said he uses the rise of rock and roll in America to show its influences on the world.

“This material will allow you to first [learn about the] social and cultural history of the United States during the Cold War and expand to international world history,” he said.

The musicians he teaches about are some of his favorites, such as Muddy Waters and The Beatles.

When he was growing up in the Soviet Union, Zhuk’s first exposure to rock and roll was a tape his brother had brought him: “Rubber Soul” by The Beatles. Growing up, he began to listen to

This material will allow you to first [learn about the] social and cultural history of the United States during the Cold War and expand to international world history.”

- SERGEI ZHUK, Professor of history at Ball State “heavier” rock artists, such as Pink Floyd and King Crimson.

Zhuk first applied to teach these classes away from America after some of his Chinese students at Ball State expressed a desire to have him teach in China.

It was a surprise to him that his course was selected to be taught in China, he said. He received an official report from Fulbright in February, but then the COVID-19 pandemic began.

“When COVID-19 hit in March, Fulbright had to cancel the program midstream. They ended up having to send everyone home,” said Justin Miller, director of Sponsored Projects Administration.

His trip now depends on a government decision because of cut academic ties to China under the Trump administration.

“It could be restored,” Zhuk said. “Either President Trump or President Biden, [it] depends — they can restore these relations.”

Miller said the COVID-19 pandemic also was a factor in travel issues for Fulbright scholars.

For Fulbright awards in the 2020-21 academic year, all awards were set to start after Jan. 1 to see if the situation had improved.

Miller said there have been some restrictions in travel and connections between the United States and China, but those restrictions are “highly specific” and tend to occur on a caseby-case basis.

Margaret Lewis, professor of law at Seton Hall, said China’s Fulbrights have been canceled, but there is a way for those award winners to apply for another post.

The Fulbright program started after World War II, Miller said, when Senator J. William Fulbright came up with the idea to propose peace through academic exchange.

“If we were able to take our best and brightest minds and send them throughout the world, and bring the best and brightest minds from around the world and bring them here and exchange ideas, and research and teaching, then that would be a really great step toward peace,” Miller said.

The awards are highly competitive, and to receive one shows expertise in your field, he said.

The competition opens in February, and potential applicants can apply for it until September.

Applicants go through a two-step review process. The first step is to have their application reviewed by people in their field of study in their country. The second step includes the application being reviewed overseas, Miller said. When an applicant applies for a Fulbright award, they are applying to teach in a foreign country the following academic year.

Dom Caristi, professor of telecommunications and former Fulbright winner, said the Fulbright awards are “prestigious” because winners “are kind of ambassadors overseas.”

“Their role, of course, is to teach and do research, but it’s more than that. They’re going overseas in an effort to improve the understanding between countries,” he said.

His experience with Fulbright, teaching and making connections in Slovenia, was the most rewarding experience he has had in his professional career, he said.

“I will tell you, I did my first Fulbright 35 years ago, and I am still in touch with people from Slovenia,” Caristi said.

Zhuk said he is planning to teach at Ball State next semester in case he is not able to travel.

“Who knows?” Zhuk said. “Federal agencies, federal government — they will decide what to do with us. There’s more than 100 people like me [who] have this situation.”

The Marauders moved to 5-0 on the season, as they defeated New Castle (2-3) 48-6. Mount Vernon had big first and third quarters, scoring 14 in the first and 21 in the third. Mount Vernon was led by senior running back Ryan Cole, who scored three touchdowns on 118 rushing yards.

Junior running back Keagan Labelle ran for 164 yards and a touchdown.

Football

Ian Hansen and Connor Smith Sports Editor and Assistant Sports Editor When most people come to college, the simple act of talking to somebody can be daunting. For former Ball State Men’s Volleyball player Lem Turner, this action was magnified.

Not only did Turner have to adjust to a new lifestyle in college while simultaneously acclimating himself to a new volleyball team, but he also had to face a long-lasting issue beyond the court as one of the only African Americans in the program.

Racial insensitivity was the problem.

In 2015, head coach Joel Walton used a derogatory term during a team meeting to describe musical lyrics he didn’t want to hear from his players. Other issues included players saying the word at parties.

It was difficult for Turner to muster the courage to speak out to his coaches and the public about the situation until after his freshman season.

“There’s definitely a hierarchy of, ‘You’re a freshman,’ at least at that time,” Turner said. “You have one assistant coach that’s literally like a hothead, and you can never know if he’s going to be screaming at you or your best friend. That’s really unstable for a freshman to wrap their head around. The other assistant coach is completely indifferent, and unless you’re a starter or player, you don’t matter. That was probably the biggest thing of why it was so hard to speak out — I couldn’t necessarily find a route to take.”

It wasn’t until the end-of-season meeting with the coaches where Turner spoke up about his concerns. This led to meetings with higher-ups in the athletics department followed by Turner gathering his teammates and expressing his feelings to them.

Continued from Page 01 Outside of team workouts, players did some workouts of their own as well. Ball State Men’s Basketball redshirt sophomore guard/forward Kani Acree said he felt thankful to work out in an actual gym.

“I had a lot of open gym runs, so I didn’t just do strength and conditioning,” Acree said. “I got to play against other people too.”

To safely work out in the gym, Acree said, several health procedures were necessary, such as checking temperatures and disinfecting equipment.

However, those who could not access a gym needed to think creatively. Rickenbach said her dad made a device she could practice with at home, and Daniel said she went to softball fields near her house to practice with her dad.

With the exception of football, the current postponement of MAC fall sports has changed the way athletes view and play their sport.

Rickenbach said the Cardinals are more prepared

than ever to compete at a high level.

“I think we have all gained a new type of appreciation,” Rickenbach said. “We are all just really pumped to work out together again and to potentially have a season and a chance to play soon.”

Acree shared Rickenbach’s sentiments. He said he developed a newfound appreciation for basketball and the work that comes with competing.

“When you don’t have it for so long, you just want to get back out there even more than normal,” Acree said. “It puts you in a weird position because then you start to think, ‘What if you don’t get to play anymore?’”

While the MAC has not officially announced plans for its 2020-21 men’s basketball season, Acree said he hopes to play, even if restrictions, like limited fan attendance, are enforced.

“The fans are a big part of the experience,” Acree said. “It might take some getting used to, but whatever we can do to play, we will do it.”

Continued from Page 07 Turner thought this would spark change within the program, but the complete opposite happened, and it was as if nothing had occurred.

“Everyone left to go home,” Turner said. “I was assuming at the beginning of sophomore year there would be consequences — racial sensitivity training, whatever — but no. That didn’t happen.

Very few teammates apologized. It didn’t really seem like people regretted their actions. I was like, ‘Man, I’m just trying to go through the school year again, and these so-called teammates are just brushing this off.’”

Walton released a statement Oct. 1, 2020, apologizing for his comments and the environment he created. He added that he will work to learn and lead the program in a more respectful way moving forward.

The organization does not promote change from the bottom up … This is not change. This is performative.”

- LEM TURNER, Former Ball State Men’s Volleyball player “As the leader of our program, it is my responsibility to ensure that all of our studentathletes feel respected and the environment allows everyone involved with the program to feel included,” Walton said in the statement. “That has not always been the case, and for that, I am sorry.”

Ball State released a statement the same day

“We insist on and believe in a culture of respect for every member of our campus community,” the statement said. “If a matter occurs where a student has experienced anything less than an excellent experience for which we are known, we take these matters seriously and will investigate them appropriately.”

In response to these statements, Turner said he wanted to see more from the university. He emphasized that change was not met, but change is still attainable if the correct actions are taken. He suggested more policies be put in place and all coaches go through racial sensitivity and equity training.

“That was essentially empty-handed,” Turner said. “The organization does not promote change from the bottom up … This is not change. This is performative.”

Turner made it clear that he doesn’t consider

anyone in the program to be a bad person and that he is still close with some of them. Matt Walsh and Jake Romano, who played with Turner at Ball State and who Turner still considers good friends, are two people who have not been afraid to stand up and speak out about the situation.

Romano was roommates with Turner and agreed that little was done by other teammates to make sure Turner was OK. “I wish I would have had the courage to say something earlier,” Romano said. “There were things happening that I clearly knew were wrong, and I should’ve stepped up in that moment. In hindsight, it’s 20/20, and you’d love to do things the right way all the time.”

Walsh said he believes people were more careful with the words they used but did not believe it sparked the change Turner was hoping for.

Walsh said he and Turner had a fun rivalry on the court, which helped them grow as players. He said he wishes he was more aware of how certain things made

Turner feel and would’ve been more proactive with it.

“I wish I would have known how much it affected him,” Walsh said. “Off of the court, we were friends and would hang out all of the time. I never noticed how affected he got by it.”

While Turner said he knew Walsh and Romano had his back, he could not gauge the rest of his teammates and if they truly cared about what he said to them and the issue at hand.

“The second level was guys who I knew supported me but were also not willing to say something in the locker room or say, ‘Hey, that’s not the right thing to do,’” Turner said. “There were four or five guys who I’d consider were in that group, and then the rest were just indifferent and didn’t really give a shit.”

These issues weren’t just pertaining to Walton or his teammates. Turner criticized the program as a whole for its lack of awareness on race issues and anything regarding the personal lives of the players. It even got to the point where Turner almost quit the team during his senior year.

“Everyone has to learn, and this is including the racially insensitive stuff,” Turner said. “But then again, there would always be a moment when I’d be like, ‘Why don’t you care?’ I really don’t think the coaches could tell you how many siblings [the players] had. They couldn’t tell you what their major was ... The people don’t care about you.

They care about winning.”

Moving forward, Turner said, the men’s volleyball program and the university need to hold those who use any words of discrimination or aren’t inclusive accountable.

“There needs to be an outlet that clearly states there will be consequences for players involved in these situations,” Turner said. “There needs to be a clear-cut, anti-discrimination policy in the Ball State athletic department. If I hadn’t spoken out, who knows how much worse it would’ve gotten?”

5 ways to (not) wear your mask

Using the cell culture hood, Siara Sandwith supplies the cells with nutrients by maintaining an optimal density so the cells can keep growing Sept. 21, 2020, at the Cooper Physical Science Building. Before sitting down to work, Sandwith uses an ethanol spray to disinfect her lab coat. SUMAYYAH MUHAMMAD, DN

Ball State senior Siara Sandwith researches the genetic mutations linked with Lou Gehrig’s disease.

Sumayyah Muhammad Assistant Lifestyles Editor Many nights, Siara Sandwith can be found descending a flight of stairs to the basement of Cooper Science Building to finish her experiments in her cramped, 65-degree lab.

“It became alarming to me when I went to the lab at 3 a.m., and a night-shift custodial staff member told her co-workers that she already knew which lab I was headed to,” Sandwith said. “My lab partner normally goes to the lab with me. When she can’t, I have a wonderful, selfless roommate who comes with me. There have been nights

where my other friends tag along and do homework or dance choreography in the hallway. These are some of my favorite lab memories, and I’m lucky to have such a great support system.”

As a senior biology major and undergraduate research assistant, Sandwith conducts experiments to examine the genetic mutations linked to the neurodegenerative disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, commonly known as ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease.

“Our lab is specifically interested in studying a protein called G4R1, which unwinds G-quadruplexes,” Sandwith said.

“You can think of it as untying a knot. I use various biochemical assays to observe how G4R1 interacts with this gene mutation to better understand the disease.”

A personal connection Before her freshman year, Sandwith’s uncle died from frontotemporal dementia (FTD), a disease that affects the temporal and frontal lobes of the brain and causes changes in behavior, personality and language. Because FTD is linked to the mutation Sandwith researches in her lab, she said, this connection makes her research all the more meaningful.

On campus, it is required to wear a face mask correctly in public spaces. Your mask should cover your nose and fit snugly on your face. If your mask is too loose, you can double loop the straps around your ears. Another important reminder when wearing your mask is to wash your hands if you ever touch the outside of your mask.

How acting majors are coping with COVID-19 Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, theatre majors have been negatively affected by the cancellation of their events and schedules being altered.

With most classes being operated through Zoom, Bernadette Harding, a sophomore acting major, said, “There are 12 boxes taped out on the ground, and each student has to stay in their own tiny box.”

(Up)Lifting Women

Local personal trainer opens new gym geared toward women.

Demi Lawrence Reporter If you told Brittney Russell five years ago she would be a personal trainer, she would have laughed.

But when postpartum depression hit after she had her sons in 2013 and 2014, she gained weight. Russell needed a change, she said, so she began trying CrossFit in 2015.

“I quickly became obsessed with the barbell, and I was like, ‘This is awesome,’” Russell said. “It just makes you feel so badass.”

Now, as a certified personal trainer and weight training advocate, Russell owns Body Boutique, a gym which opened in April and is geared toward helping women reach their fitness goals in a comfortable and supportive environment.

Russell’s main inspiration to open Body Boutique was how few women she saw in the weights area of gyms.

“It’s intimidating for a lot of women, so most people will not go over there because most of the girls that are over there are size zero, and somebody who’s a size 18 does not feel comfortable to go pick up a dumbbell in front of them and all the guys,” Russell said.

“Then, I would see people using equipment wrong, and I’m like, ‘Oh, they’re going to hurt themselves,’ but I’m not in a position to go up and say anything.”

Her passion to help women next to her in the gyms came long before she earned her personal trainer certification in November 2018. Erin Hamilton, a friend she used to work out with, knew Russell would be a great trainer, and one day after a workout, Hamilton slipped her the $100 required to get her certification.

“She was like, ‘Please go get certified. Use this toward your certification ... You’ve changed my life. I know you can change other people’s lives,’” Russell said. “I sat in

Hamilton said she has known Russell for about five years, and they became workout buddies during a rough time in Hamilton’s life.

She said Russell was already doing so much for her in the gym that Hamilton just wanted to give her the financial boost she needed to help more women reach their fitness goals.

“She’s very good at empowering women and not judging,” Hamilton said. “She just has this ease about her, and I wanted her to know that I believed in her.”

Stemming from Russell’s original desire to become a certified trainer, the goal of Body Boutique is to be as

inviting and comfortable for women as possible. Men are allowed too, she said, but she recognizes that the name of the gym doesn’t exactly attract men.

“My girls come in here, and they feel comfortable no matter what size they are,” Russell said.

Russell said she prides herself on Body Boutique being a gym unlike any other in the Muncie area, as it offers bungee classes.

Bungee is a 30-minute class Russell teaches, named for the bungee cord connecting to a harness someone puts around their waist to the ceiling.

Workouts utilize weights and include jumps, squats, donkey kicks and other movements.

“We have so many classes to choose from,” Russell said. “I

can also tell you almost all my friendships in this area … are because of this gym or because of my training in general.”

One of those friendships is with Cherish Howell, who Russell met over a year ago through Facebook. Before Russell got the space for Body Boutique, Howell attended classes of hers at another gym.

“She’s very encouraging, positive [and] uplifting,” Howell said. “She’s kind of a role model to me, honestly.”

As a nurse, Howell said she sees people who are overweight and struggle with almost every aspect of their lives.

Working out is important to her because of this, she said, so she recommends every woman looking to stay healthy and get

stronger go to Body Boutique.

“When I started out lifting weights, I started out [lifting] like eight to 10 pounds, and now I’m lifting over 20,” Howell said. “I have gotten stronger, and I’m going to try to get stronger.”

Body Boutique is headquartered in the upstairs part of the Cole Academy building, a youth gymnastics and cheerleading gym. Going

forward, Russell said she hopes parents who drop off their children will start stopping by her gym.

“I think people just don’t know we’re here,” Russell said.

“The goal is to just honestly have this be a safe place that people feel comfortable to come in and work out in.”

ALS

Continued from Page 09 She and her uncle bonded over their love for books, Sandwith said, and she keeps the books he gifted her as keepsakes. The most important impact her uncle had on her life, she said, was the great relationship he had with her father. Sandwith’s dad grew up with three sisters, an older mother and a disabled father, and her uncle was one of the prominent male figures in her dad’s life. “[My uncle] was the one who taught my dad how to fish, shoot, boat, camp, race motorbikes and most importantly, all the torture tactics to bully your siblings,” Sandwith said. “My dad then shared these things with me and my three older brothers.”

Because her uncle’s progression was quick, Sandwith said she didn’t see most of the dramatic changes in his personality. However, Sandwith remembers when she was leaving a restaurant with him one time, his behavior was “very uncharacteristic and almost appalling.”

“This behavior was mild compared to the things he did toward the end of his life,” Sandwith said. “Based on stories I have heard from my family,

the descriptions did not match the man I knew. The change this disease can cause is truly shocking and sad to witness.”

In the lab Sandwith’s experiments can be unpredictable, she said, so she never has a typical day in the lab, and her agenda changes daily based on the results of her previous experiments.

“Sometimes, I can leave the lab by 3 in the afternoon, whereas other times, I don’t leave until 7 or 8 at night,” Sandwith said. “If I am waiting on an incubation — when samples are cooked at a specific temperature and time — and I am not actively at the bench, then I am working on homework at a table outside of the lab, preparing data presentations for a lab meeting or I am doing lab dishes. Longer incubation allows me to leave for lunch or attend club meetings.”

Sandwith’s interest in cellular and molecular biology began when she was a freshman in high school. When her biology class studied its textbook’s molecular genetics chapter, Sandwith said, she was astounded and realized the specific interactions and organizations of cells seemed beautiful to her.

WHAT IS ALS? normal nerve cell

muscle contracting

nerve with sclerosis

muscle unable to contract

ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease. ALS attacks cells in the brain and spinal cord that are needed to keep muscles moving, leading to muscle weakness and paralysis.

The mutation is a repetition of nucleotides (GGGGCC).

This repetition occurs fewer than 30 times in a healthy individual, but it can occur up to hundreds or thousands of times in a diseased person. Instead of the typical double helix, the guanines can stack and form quadruplexes.

10.08.20 Abstraction

The town hall in my brain As an overthinker, my brain is like a town hall, and the town hall members represent my biggest fears.

Elissa Maudlin is a sophomore journalism news major and writes “Abstraction” for The Daily News. Her views do not necessarily reflect those of the newspaper.

I’m standing Elissa at the podium.

Maudlin The bright Columnist, light shining “Abstraction” down on my face to illuminate the stage feels comparable to a criminal interrogation. I can’t see the town hall members, but I can feel their eyes judging me. They sit in their seats, waiting impatiently for the opportunity to blaze me with their concerns, fears and judgements about who I am and the life ahead of me. I am vulnerable — like the feeling in your gut when you answer a question wrong in class or when a person in your friend group gives you that look of judgment after you say something personal.

I am standing up at that podium like I am naked, have forgotten to shave all of my body hair and am the only one without clothes on. That kind of vulnerability.

For almost all my life, I have struggled with overthinking. Recently, my therapist told me my brain is like a town hall meeting — I’m the leader, and my overthinking and anxiety

are the town members who go to the microphone and start spewing crazy theories.

Although I have never looked at it in that way, it seems like a plausible comparison.

The first of my town members to speak is Debbie.

She is like a female version of Bob Ross with long hair down to her knees that waves in perfect symmetry. She wears a long skirt stopping at the ankle and a flowing blouse made of an all-natural material — her bare feet squeak across the floor. Whenever Debbie comes onto the scene, you get the sense of happiness and freedom, but there is an underlying darkness when it comes to her. She is a proponent of happiness but in constant comparison with other people and how they found their happiness. She controls a lot in my life, and most recently, Debbie has shown herself through my ambitions and dreams.

As she stands at the microphone and looms over me, she begins to ask her questions like she always does when it comes to my passions.

Debbie doesn’t want me to pursue things unless she knows they are my absolute passion. She may have good intentions, but she’s never willing to take a chance.

She wants me to be happy, but she constantly compares me to everyone else. She never tries things to see how they go, telling me to find a passion without giving me a

means to do so. Debbie is terrified I’ll get stuck but is the number one element in my life that is making that a reality.

As Debbie walks away

from the microphone, a tall man with two massive books under each armpit approaches it. His name is Arnie, and his dress shoes squeak as he

walks up to the microphone.

He is dressed in a business suit with perfectly hemmed dress pants, a white button up and an ironed blazer. Slamming

the books on the podium, he begins leafing through the pages. He seems harmless.

He adjusts his glasses, his smoothed-back hair perfectly set, before addressing all the research he’s done on how I’m an immoral person.

Arnie is like a lawyer prosecuting me, researching everything I’ve done in my life and making implausible verdicts that I have to fight myself not to believe. He doesn’t want to see me hurt other people. Frankly, Arnie isn’t sure if I’m a moral person to begin with. Whenever I do something that could be interpreted badly, even if that isn’t the intention, Arnie starts to question my decisions.

Arnie tells me I’m a liar, an attention seeker, the worst of the worst. As much as I’d like to say I’m above believing him, I’m not. Arnie sabotages my relationships, makes me second guess text messages and is the primary reason that I think about myself the way I do. It has left me without real romantic relationships because it is easier not to hear Arnie’s arguments and sit in his courtroom. There have been nights of tears, stress and worry over being the monster Arnie thinks I am — a reflection of myself that isn’t the reality. Yet, as he steps up to the podium to talk, I am deeply afraid of him.

Last to speak is Pelna, the town hall member who constantly underestimates me.

Pelna wears the brand-name

clothes everyone else wears, and she always has her perfect blonde hair straightened like all the other girls do. Without an ounce of originality, Pelna is there to remind me to play it safe and not speak my mind because she is terrified of judgment. She doesn’t like me doing things that are remotely scary because she doesn’t think I can handle them. If there is a chance to screw it up, Pelna doesn’t want to risk it because she understands shame.

Pelna makes me feel like I am stupid, like I can’t do the things everyone else can — leaving me with a lack of confidence. Sometimes, she tells me what I’m about to say in class or text a friend is stupid. Pelna watches as opportunities go by, safely tucked in security while dreaming of being brave.

Debbie thinks I’m going to get stuck. Arnie thinks I’m a monster. Pelna thinks I’ll be judged. They come to my town hall to remind me of that.

With every new experience, I am held in this state of being stagnant. If it were up to my town hall members, I’d take the persona

of the monster who tries to hurt people, someone who’s going to get stuck in life without a passion, who can’t do anything like anyone else, who would be judged if people knew her vulnerabilities.

But it’s not up to my town hall members. It’s up to me.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from having anxiety and being an overthinker, it is this: Learn to be uncomfortable.

It’s about doing the things that scare you. It’s about remembering who we are when a town hall member bombards you with insecurities. It’s about breaking down fears one at a time to show your town hall members there is nothing to be afraid of.

It’s about living, in the best sense of the word.

As I silence the town hall members and tell Debbie, Arnie and Pelna to back off, I remind myself that this is my town hall, and I gather up the courage, once again, to take control of it.

ALS

Continued from Page 11 Philip Smaldino, assistant cell biology professor at Ball State and Sandwith’s mentor, recruited Sandwith as a freshman to join his research lab in the spring of 2018. Based on her impressive GPA and positive, professional interview, Smaldino said, Sandwith was the first freshman he accepted into his lab.

“I have been utterly impressed with Siara since day one,” Smaldino said. “I was impressed with her ability as a freshman to read and comprehend primary literature.

I noticed right away that Siara is honest, genuine, firm in her convictions and a natural leader. “[Sandwith’s] devotion and commitment to the lab has motivated me on numerous

occasions to push myself a little further. When a student goes above and beyond, it nudges the mentor to do the same.”

Along with working part time at Ball State Memorial Hospital

When a student goes above and beyond, it nudges the mentor to do the same.”

- PHILIP SMALDINO, Assistant cell biology professor and Sandwith’s mentor and maintaining a near 4.0 GPA, Sandwith spends 15 to

30 hours a week in Smaldino’s lab. Smaldino said it took nearly 18 months — including working almost full time during the summer months — of troubleshooting her experiments for Sandwith to obtain her first piece of publishable data.

“Science has taught me a whole new level of mental toughness,” Sandwith said. “In research, you encounter failure much more frequently than success. You learn to accept that failure is normal. When you produce good results, it is all the more rewarding.”

A Goldwater Scholar In late March, Sandwith was awarded a Goldwater Scholarship, the nation’s most prestigious scholarship for undergraduate students pursuing research-based careers in the STEM fields. Sandwith was the 12th Ball State student to

receive this scholarship.

Sandwith said she learned about the Goldwater application after speaking with Barb Stedman, director of National and International Scholarships and Honors Fellows at Ball State, during her freshman year.

Given her research experience in Smaldino’s lab, Sandwith said Stedman believed she would make an excellent Goldwater applicant.

The day she would find out if she was a Goldwater Scholar, Sandwith said, she was anxiously waiting by her computer and washing dishes to keep herself busy. After feeling blessed from what she had accomplished that school year, Sandwith said, she was suspicious of how well things were going for her.

“My paper was accepted for publication, I won an internal grant, my experiments were

to attend the University of Michigan and to earn a Ph.D. in cell and molecular biology or biological chemistry.

“Siara is well-situated to succeed in whatever vocation that she is called to,” Smaldino said. “She is realistic and resilient. I have no doubt that Siara’s future will be bright.”

going extremely well and I had several summer internship offers,” Sandwith said. “[I thought], ‘Surely I won’t win the Goldwater too.’ But I had Dr. Smaldino and Dr. Stedman in my corner, so none of this should have come as a surprise.

I am extremely grateful for all the help and support they have given me.”

After she graduates from Ball State in May 2021, Sandwith said, she hopes
