Village gets a taste of Mexico in new taco and tequila bar SUNGMIN LIM CHIEF REPORTER | slim3@bsu.edu
C
hris Ellison turned to the Mayans while searching for a name for his new taco and tequila bar in the Village. Researching their heirographs, he found the red bird. “It’s the Mexican cardinal,” Ellison said. “Cardinal is everywhere in Muncie, so we chose the name Red Bird.” Red Bird opened on Dec. 11, the start of Finals Week. “We were slammed from open to close time throughout Finals Week,” he HOURS OF said. “We blew out creating OPERATION something that didn’t exist. This MONDAY-WEDNESDAY 4 p.m.-1 a.m. is an industry that struggles, and THURSDAY-SATURDAY you’re more likely to fail than 4 p.m.-4 a.m. to succeed. No one gets into something to fail, but escaping what could be failure is key.” Mexican decor infuses the bar’s atmosphere. One part of Red Bird’s wall is made of exposed brick. The bar showcases a wide variety of tequila bottles, some of them quite exquisite. Lights hang from the ceilings and Mexicaninfluenced paintings hang from the wall. Although Red Bird is a Mexican restaurant, Ellison brought his background from other areas into the business. Instead of traditional Mexican refried beans, he uses the black beans from his Cuban background. The seasoning in the food is created through a fusion of Cuban and Spanish influences.

VANDALIZATION OF STATUE SPARKS INVESTIGATION, RESTORATION FEES After a campus landmark was vandalized during Finals Week of Fall Semester, university officials are looking toward restoration. The bronze statue, known as “Frog Baby,” was vandalized with gold spray paint during Finals Week. Joan Todd, executive director of public relations, said restoring Frog Baby could cost up to $5,000. “It is clearly a job for experts and can’t be done in house,” Todd said. “A professional will need to remove the paint to ensure preservation of the statue.” It isn’t the first time Frog Baby was vandalized. According to a Ball State news center release, four adults attempted to steal the statue in June 1999. The suspects included three Ball State students and one Muncie woman. Although they were not successful in stealing Frog Baby, they did remove four bronze frog statues and caused more than $10,000 in damages to the mountings and water pipes connected to the frogs. The statues were later recovered by the University Police Department and reinstalled. UPD has finished its investigation and will share its findings with Delaware County prosecutor Jeff Arnold. Jim Lowe, director of Engineering and Construction Operations, said the university is still looking at options for repair, but it is in contact with a restoration company. “It appears that [the statue] will have to be removed and sent to their facility to be restored,” Lowe said. -EVIE LICHTENWALTER

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Although Ball State didn’t win the Beef ‘O’ Brady’s Bowl against Central Florida on Dec. 21, the game didn’t result in a negative bowl week experience for the program. “It was an incredible experience for everybody involved,” athletic director Bill Scholl said following the game. “Obviously you’d like to win the game, but everybody associated with the bowl was first-class.” The team arrived in St. Petersburg on Dec. 16 and up until gameday participated in several bowl festivities, including a welcome party, a beach bash and a team dinner on a boat. The team captains also visited the St. Petersburg All Children’s Hospital the day before the bowl game. “I’d be hard pressed to believe there’s not a more professional, customer-service oriented detailed staff than here,” coach Pete Lembo said. “From A-to-Z they had it all covered.” Coming from Notre Dame, Scholl has been to multiple bowl games in the past. He passed along his knowledge of bowl games and knowing what to expect to Lembo, who was making his first bowl game appearance. But after two seasons at Ball State and already playing in a bowl game, Scholl

A specialty tequila and taco bar is open and ready for students in the Village as the new semester begins. Red Bird Tequila and Taco Bar is the third business to open in University Square since the property was purchased by Milhaus Development for $1.3 million in April 2011. Chris Ellison is the owner of Red Bird Tequila and Taco Bar, Cleo’s Bourbon Bar, The Silo and Columbia Theatre. Ellison hopes that the Village can maintain the success it has and continue to expand with a variety of businesses. “I would like to see more people come in and do more,” Ellison said. “The things that are currently there, it’s awesome that they’re able to be there and maintain with additional growth. There should be additional things coming in like a decent clothing chain [could] come in and make a presence.” Ellison said Cleo’s, his first business in the Village, has maintained success since opening in December 2011. “It’s been amazing as far as people coming in, and the customer base,” Ellison said. “We’re busy all the time, it’s awesome.” In a previous interview with the Daily News, David Leazenby, vice president of Milhaus Development, said Ellison was planning on opening a Little Chicago Pizza in the Village.

Police kill gunman, find 3 more dead Colorado authorities say it is not known if suspect was shot by officers or himself | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS AURORA, Colo. — SWAT officers who stormed a Colorado home where a gunman had holed up found a horrific scene — four dead bodies including that of the gunman. Police said the armed man fired shots at officers Saturday from a second-story window before officers killed him. Once
inside, they found the bodies of three other adults. The suspect, whose name was withheld by police, held officers at bay for nearly six hours after neighbors reported gunfire at 3 a.m. inside the modest townhome in the Denver suburb of Aurora, said police Sgt. Cassidee Carlson. It wasn’t known if officers shot the suspect or if he shot himself.
Investigators said two men and a woman appeared to have been killed before officers arrived. The suspect shot at police who approached the front of the home with an armored vehicle and who fired tear gas around 8:15 a.m. He was killed when he fired at officers from the second-story window about 45 minutes later, Carlson said. “After we arrived on scene, there were no more shots fired up until he fired at us,” Carlson said. “During this time he was all over the house. He moved furni-
ture. He was throwing things. He was agitated. He was irrational.” A large front window was missing in the two-story townhome, the window’s mini-blinds in disarray. Bullet holes marked two upstairs windows, and neigh bors milled about outside. A fifth person escaped unharmed and called police to report that she saw three people inside the home who “appeared lifeless,” said Carlson, who declined to elaborate about the woman’s escape. A motive for the killings was
unknown, and police had yet to say what weapon or weapons were used. Investigators wearing gloves and carrying evidence bags were going over the crime scene. Police declined to release the victims’ names. “We have an idea of who they are, but we obviously want to confirm their identities with the coroner,” said Carlson, who declined to release the relationship between the victims and the shooter. Officers evacuated neighbors’
Money for college athletes: not if, but how Head of the NCAA supports a stipend for student players
| THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MIAMI — After decades when paying college athletes was thought to violate the spirit of amateurism, the enormous television revenue generated by sports — football and basketball in particular — and the long hours of work by the players have changed the debate. The head of the NCAA now supports a stipend for athletes to cover costs beyond tuition, books and fees, and both coaches in today’s BCS championship between No. 1 Notre Dame and No. 2 Alabama spoke in support of the idea in the days before the game. The question is no longer whether to cut athletes a check, it’s how best to do that. “I still think the overriding factor here is that these young men put in so much time with being a student and then their responsibilities playing the
sport, that they don’t have an opportunity to make any money at all,” Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said Sunday. “I want them to be college kids, and a stipend will continue to allow them to be college kids.” To get a sense of the landscape, look at the way things were when Notre Dame last won the national championship, in 1988. That season, Fighting Irish players earned scholarships worth about $10,000 per year and the school got $3 million for playing in the Fiesta Bowl to go with the revenue it made for TV appearances throughout the season. Even then, there was discussion about the disparity between benefits for the players and for the schools. This season’s Irish will get scholarships worth about $52,000 per year and the school will receive $6.2 million for playing in the title game — to go with the $15 million NBC reportedly pays just to televise the school’s regular-season home games.
While the value of that athletic scholarship has never been greater, the money being made by the schools that play big-time college football has skyrocketed, too. NCAA President Mark Emmert believes it is time for a change. While Emmert draws a clear distinction between the $2,000 stipend he has proposed and play-for-pay athletics, he unapologetically advocates for giving student-athletes a larger cut of a huge pie that is about to get even bigger. The NCAA’s current men’s basketball tournament agreement with CBS is worth an average of more than $770 million per year, and the current Bowl Championship Series television deal — money that goes to conferences and then is distributed to schools, with no NCAA involvement — is worth $180 million per year. The new college football playoff, which starts in the 2014 season, will be worth about $470 million annually to the conferences. Emmert chides athletic

NCAA president “It doesn’t strike me as drastic by definition,” said Mike Slive, commissioner of the Southeastern Conference, Alabama’s worth of CBS agreement league, and one of the most vofor bowl champ cal advocates for a full-cost-ofattendance scholarship.

The shootings occurred about four miles southeast of the Aurora Mall, where 12 people were killed and dozens were wounded by a gunman at a midnight showing of “The Dark Knight Rises” on July 20. The man charged in that shooting, James Holmes, goes to court today for a preliminary hearing in which prosecutors will present their case against him.
AP|BRIEF
22 DEPARTMENTS FIGHT FIRE AT W. IND. PALLET PLANT CLARKS HILL, Ind. (AP) — Winter weather has complicated firefighters’ efforts to extinguish a blaze at a western Indiana company that produces wooden pallets. A Tippecanoe County sheriff’s dispatcher said Sunday that crews remained on the scene of a fire at the Industrial Pallet Corp. in tiny Clarks Hill, about 15 miles southeast of Lafayette. The Journal & Courier reports 22 fire departments responded late Saturday night to the fire near U.S. 52 and Indiana 28, which was visible for several miles. No injuries were reported. Water was trucked in from Lafayette and other sources after the Clarks Hill water tower was emptied. Lafayette Fire Department assistant fire chief Steve Butram says the fire is expected to burn for several days.

QUALITY MOVIES FILL THEATERS OF 2012 After kind of a lackluster 2011, we marked a return of quality major American films in 2012. These were my favorites. They’re ranked, but the top six were almost interchangeable for me.
KAMERON 1. “ARGO” Plain and simple this was the best pure film of the MCBRIDE year. No other movie provided as tight of a plot or KAMERA good of pace as “Argo.” With this story of U.S. embassy hostages being snuck out of Iran via a fake movie proOBSCURA duction, Ben Affleck has cemented his status as one of

the better major directors working today.
2. “THE MASTER”
Paul Thomas Anderson is undoubtedly the most interesting major American director working today and “The Master” continues his remarkable run. “The Master” explores an amalgam for Scientology through its creator, Lancaster Dodd (Philip Seymour Hoffman) and Freddie (Joaquin Phoenix) a man who threatens the entire movement. “The Master” is maybe the most thought provoking movie of the year, for better or worse. Whether or not you like it, “The Master” will be sure to move you some way.
3. “LINCOLN”
This is now my favorite of Steven Spielberg’s films. I think “Lincoln” pulls off a good amount of complexity and gets a sublime performance from Daniel Day–Lewis as the 16th president. The film takes place toward the end of the Civil War, as Abraham Lincoln moves to end the war as quickly as possible while also trying to pass the 13th Amendment. This requires him to try and persuade members of Congress across political party lines. The modern–day allegory is obvious, but the real strengths of the film are the great performances and a terrific script by Pulitzer winner Tony Kushner.
4. “THE DARK KNIGHT RISES”
“The Dark Knight Rises” takes place eight years after “The Dark Knight” and deals with Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) trying to cope with the new peace created after the death of Harvey Dent. However, that peace is in jeopardy from the greatest threat Batman has faced: a hulking mercenary named Bane (Tom Hardy). “The Dark Knight Rises” brought everything full circle in a fun and interesting way. I thought it was well– paced, well–acted and overall gave the trilogy the epic ending it deserved.
5. “LOOPER”
“Looper” takes us to a future where specialized assassins kill people sent back to them from the future by mob bosses. One of these “Loopers” named Joe (Joseph Gordon–Levitt) runs into problems when his future self (Bruce Willis) is sent back but escapes. Rian Johnson penned a wonderful script for “Looper” and combined it with a lot of cool visuals to create a mind– bending piece of sci–fi.
6. “MOONRISE KINGDOM”
“Moonrise Kingdom” the story of a young boy scout named Sam (Jared Gilman) who runs away with his young love Suzy (Kara Hawood). They try to escape on the countryside as their parents and other adults chase them. This movie wonderfully explored the mystique and loss of innocence in childhood. The cast includes Bill Murray, Bruce Willis, Edward Norton, Frances McDormand and Tilda Swinton.
7. “BERNIE”
This thought-provoking movie displayed just how good Jack Black can be when given the right role. He stars as a beloved mortician who turns a community upside down when he murders a wealthy widow (Shirley Maclaine). It’s interesting to see how the town reacts when one of its most prominent members commits murder.
8. “PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER”
Most movies about high school are stupid, clichéd and pretty annoying. “The Perks of Being a Wallflower,” however, actually kind of reminded me of high school. “Perks of Being a Wallflower” gives high school a nostalgic but still mature look. It’s well–casted and has great pacing to the story.
9. “ARBITRAGE”
Robert Miller (Richard Gere) is a corrupt businessman unfaithful to his marriage and tries to cover up murdering his mistress. And yet, despite these things, “Arbitrage” makes us feel tension as he’s being investigated for the murder. This is the brilliance of Nicholas Jeracki’s film: that we can be behind such a villainous person as he tries to escape.
10. “BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD”
Bizarre and beautiful, “Beasts of the Southern Wild” explores an area known as “The Bathtub,” which is a ravaged area south of Louisiana. Here we meet Hushpuppy (Quvenzhané Wallis) and her dad Wink (Dwight Henry) who are each trying to survive despite a coming storm. This film is unconventional but does a really good job of painting a world that is easy to get lost in.
FILMS TO LOOK FOR IN 2013:
“Iron Man 3” (May 3) – The next in the saga of Robert Downey Jr.’s superhero. Chirpmeter–3.5/5 “The Great Gatsby” (May 10) – Starring Leonardo DiCaprio as Gatsby, another film version of the book everyone read in high school. Chirpmeter–3.5/5 “Star Trek: Into Darkness” (May 17) – The eagerly awaited follow–up to J.J. Abram’s 2009 blockbuster. Chirpmeter–4/5 “World War Z” (June 21) – Based on the popular book, zombies begin to swarm the world. Chirpmeter–4/5 “Elysium” (Aug. 9) – Neill Blomkamp’s follow up to “District 9.” Chirpmeter–4/5 “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug” (Dec. 13) – The next in the trilogy of Hobbit films.

After the decorations come down and the cookies are finished, the real nightmare of the holidays comes alive in the aftermath: returns. For college students, families may stick with cash or gift cards, choosing a safe route to save themselves and the receivers time. However, there are still those that give gifts that are appreciated, but just don’t make the cut. These unwanted gifts leave the recipients stuck between a rock and a hard place. How do you tell someone that you like their gift, but not enough to keep it? “There is nothing wrong with wanting to get rid of a gift that no longer brings you joy,” gift and etiquette expert Leah Ingram said on her website. “With anything in your home, if you don’t love it and use it, get rid of it. This includes gifts you’ve received over time.” Many people struggle with the guilt or uncomfortable feeling of returning gifts, but it is something that can be done with a little care and planning. If you’re lucky, there will be a gift receipt included in the package. This allows an easy, guilt-free exchange; however, if there is a price difference between the original gift and what you want to exchange it for, you will have to pay, which isn’t necessarily ideal. Keep in mind that you may not get as much as you expect for a gift, or you may
not necessarily like the store where you receive store credit. Ingram advised that “it really is unfair to judge someone by where they buy your gift,” especially those that bargain hunt on a limited income. In some cases, you can request a receipt, such as if you’re looking to exchange a shirt for the correct size. This is basically the end of the acceptability of requesting a receipt. Asking for a receipt without proper justification is a giveaway that you don’t actually like the gift, and you are likely to offend the giver. “Sometimes you just have to accept that you’re going to get gifts that you don’t like, but that’s what eBay or re-gifting is for,” Ingram said. If you’re dead-set on returning an item but don’t have a receipt, many stores will accept items for store credit, but some stores have set limits. For example, Target limits customers to $100 worth of returns without a receipt in a single year. Although secretly returning items can be enticing, you run the risk of the giver finding out, especially if it is an unusual item. Sometimes you can get rid of a gift without having to worry about receipts or store credit. The first option is to resell it somewhere, such as eBay or a consignment shop. This option allows you to pass the item along to someone who truly wants it, as well as making a few bucks. Another option is re-gifting, which can be handy if done properly. Keeping track of who gave you something can help you to avoid the awkward situation of trying to gift something to the person that originally gave it to you. Although dealing with unwanted gifts can be a hassle or even a daunting task, if carefully handled, it can be a breeze and possibly help you to be a better gift giver in the future.
Technology aids in completing hard-to-keep 2013 resolutions Smartphone apps, sites help users lose weight, quit smoking, drinking JEREMY ERVIN CHIEF REPORTER | jrervin@bsu.edu Improving wellness is a constant theme among New Year’s resolutions. While self-improvement objectives such as losing weight, quitting smoking and drinking less have been around since the inception of their respective vices, new tools and technologies are developed every year to help people reach their goals.
LOSE WEIGHT
Those looking to lose weight or simply get in better shape may consider the free smartphone app GymPact. The app takes users’ credit card information and then has them devise a plan called a “pact,” committing to going to the gym for a specified minimum number of days for the upcoming week. Then the user selects a penalty for failing to complete their workouts, with a minimum of $5 and a maximum of $50. Users who complete their weekly pacts are rewarded with a share of the money from users who were forced to pay. In order to help maintain legitimacy, users must use their phones to check in to their respective gym and stay there for at least 30 minutes. Those less interested in taking a financial risk with their fitness can download MyFitnessPal from the Apple or Android app stores. The app helps the users evaluate their calorie needs for their goals, and then track the calories in versus calories out to help them lose or maintain weight. The app provides users with useful graphs, charts and diagnostics to help
them better understand their nutritional needs and keep them motivated. Marie Taylor, a 20-year-old Ball State student, has been using the app for a year and a half in order to help her keep track of her calorie intake and exercise. “The barcode scan feature helps make it easier to make sure you’re logging the correct foods,” she said, “It’s helped me a lot. I have been able to lose weight in a healthy manner by using it.”
STOP SMOKING
This year, the electronic cigarette brand Blu began running advertisements on television. Since the product contains no tobacco, only nicotine gel, the laws banning tobacco products from being advertised on television do not apply. Electronic cigarettes are touted by both marketers and consumers as a safer alternative to tobacco smoking, or as a means of nicotine cessation, like Nicorette gum or patches. No large scale studies have been conducted that could legitimize or refute these claims. However, in 2009, the FDA publicly discouraged Americans from using electronic cigarettes as a means of quitting. The debate continues. While the public waits for the final word on electronic-cigarettes, there are numerous smartphone apps that smokers can use to motivate them. One of these is My Last Cigarette, which sells on the Apple App Store for $0.99. My Last Cigarette has the user input basic information about their life as a smoker, such as date started, date quit, price per pack and number of cigarettes smoked per day. The app then provides users with graphs and statistics about their health and progress. Among these are the increase in life expectancy, money saved, tobacco-related deaths since the user quit and time as a non-smoker down to the second. My Last Cigarette users can also request a
photo of the day which includes images such as cancer ridden lungs coupled with health facts about smoking.
DRINK LESS
The New Year’s Day hangover can be a strong motivator to drink less. While there are methods such as “12-stepping” to help alcoholics kick the habit, more casual drinkers have often been lacking information on their behavior’s costs as well as motivation to change those behaviors. The website alcoholaware.co.uk offers visitors a means to track their drinking and to evaluate the consequences. It includes articles with facts about drinking and its social impacts, information about detoxing and an interactive tool called MyDrinkAware. MyDrinkAware allows users to make an account and begin tracking their drinking. It issues reports, telling the user the amount drank not only in traditional measures like calories, money or units of alcohol, but also in equivalencies like cheeseburgers instead of calories and minutes of exercise needed to offset those cheeseburgers. The application then provides the user with personalized tips to help them amend their drinking habits and be healthier.
QUIT BAD HABITS
Free smartphone apps like iQuit can help users quit anything from the common to the unconventional. The user inputs the thing they’d like to quit, and the date they began quitting and iQuit begins a timer. It records the days so that progress can be easily recorded and felt. It includes two buttons, one called “desire” and the other “relapse” that record and display the number of times that they are pressed, allowing the user to understand that they have beat cravings before and to warn them against falling off the wagon.

faculty and staff parking lot south of campus, Nancy Wray, Parking Services office manager, said. “Electric cars are a little pricey so I don’t know when to expect students to participate, but we already have three faculty who have ordered [electric cars],” Wray said. If there is a greater need for electric car spaces, Parking Services will look to meet those needs, she said. Students looking to take advantage of the power stations will have to pay an extra $60 per semester, and use it exclusively for an electric car, even if they own a gasoline powered car, Wray said. Guests wishing to use the spots will have to get a $1 per day guest pass. “Our sustainability efforts are broad,” Lowe said. “This is about energy, but we address environmental concerns, energy, wildlife and several other things from large scale to simply changing outdated light fixtures.” The location of the new parking spaces will be designated using a “plug” symbol.

Another green initiative by Ball State will go into effect this semester after the urging of visitors and faculty members. Ball State Parking Services will make available several electric vehicle parking spaces. Jim Lowe, director of Engineering and Construction Operations, explained the process of deciding how to accommodate electric vehicles. “We started doing research, and there are a number of universities that have installed a more sophisticated plug-in, ranging from $3,000 to 8,000,” Lowe said. “We decided you could install a traditional, outdoor safe, outlet for about $400; a tenth the cost.” Lowe said the change came after inquiries from staff and visitors to accommodate for those who drive electric cars. Parking Services is in the process of creating a map detailing the locations of the spots. Current plans will offer only one spot students will have access to, which will be located near the Alumni Center. Other spaces include the Emens, McKinley and L. A. Pit-

RED BIRD: New tequila bar looks for success in Village | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “With me being from Georgia, we’re going to have a peach salsa on the menu soon,” he added. Since Red Bird is opened until 4 a.m., Ellison said he wanted people to come to Red Bird rather than Taco Bell because of the quality of food they serve. “We wanted a cleaner, healthier menu,” he said. The business is more than just the food though. It’s specialty is tequila and Ellison made sure to train his new bartenders on the alcohol. Jaymi Lechlitner, bartender and server at Red Bird, said Ellison sat with the other bartenders and taught them how to take the notes of the tequila. “He taught us how to smell the tequila,” Lechlitner said. “Inhale through the nose and exhale out of the mouth af-
ter the shot. That helped me out to figure out the taste of the tequila.” Red Bird sells 65 varieties of tequila, ranging from $3 to $50 a shot. “Every tequila bottle has so much craftsmanship,” Ellison said. “The creativeness that we put in our drinks and the focus we put into designing the menu makes Red Bird so special. We wanted to present a concept of what a Mexican restaurant should be.” So far Lechlitner said the fish bowl drinks have been a hit with customers. Bartenders make margaritas in large fish bowls with seven different items. Ellison said business is already booming. Interest began before the bar even opened. Ellison had to frequently turn away customers asking if the bar was open yet. But even with interest high,

the bar still has some kinks to work out. “My drink was way too strong, and you could tell they didn’t know how to mix it right,” said Michele Murday, a senior geology major who visited the bar the first week it opened. She ordered one of the speciality drinks served in a fish bowl that night. In addition, Murday said the bar was understaffed for the crowd that was in the bar. Once they get more into the swing of things, she said the bar has a shot at success. Ellison said his customers don’t come to Red Bird to sing karaoke or listen to bands, so he plans on setting up events
throughout the Spring Semester to bring customers in. “We are going to plan big St. Patrick’s Day and Cinco de Mayo events,” he said. “We have trivia night next door at Cleo’s, and we’re going to bring it here.” With the success Lechlitner said she has already seen at the bar, she is looking forward to see what kinds of people will come starting in this semester. “Red Bird [has] such a different vibe than what else is in the Village,” she said. “The atmosphere here is definitely going to be a good one, especially with tequila.” Lindsey Gelwicks contributed to this story.

Ellison confirmed that a Little Chicago Pizza is on the way for some point during the 2013 Spring Semester but did not reveal when. He said while it will not be located in University Square, it will be in the Village, although he could not give an exact location. Leazenby could not be reached for comment on the continued development of the University Square property, but in a June interview with the Daily News spoke of potential façade renovations to University Square in Spring 2013. Other businesses leased in University Square include Dill Street Bar and Grill and cardinal cupcakes and coneys. Also slated to open soon in the Village, although not in University Square, is late-night dessert option Insomnia Cookies. Marketing Manager for Serve U Brands Renee Sarnecky said
Insomnia Cookies will open sometime in January 2013, but the exact date has yet to be determined. Currently, the Village location is putting together the final pieces and getting ready to open. Sarnecky said Insomnia Cookies, which will be open until 3 a.m., will add to the late night food options near campus. “It’s a fun late-night environment and another late-night option that we’re bringing to the campus,” Sarnecky said. Ellison hopes the Village can maintain the success it has and continue to expand with a variety of businesses. “I would like to see more people come in and do more,” Ellison said. “The things that are currently there, it’s awesome that they’re able to be there and maintain with additional growth. There should be additional things coming in like a decent clothing chain [could] come in and make a presence.”

UP FOR DEBATE KATE FITTES CHIEF REPORTER | EMMA ekfittes@bsu.edu
Instead of watching the ball drop at Times Square on New Years Eve, sophomore communications and political science major Dakota Wappes watched fireworks from a huge festival on Germany’s Brandenburg bridge. Wappes and six other Ball State students traveled to Berlin over Winter Break for the World Universities Debating Championship to compete against 82 countries. The two debating students, Wappes and Caitlin Bartnik, beat 33 percent of the teams at the tournament. Dylan Paul, who was a judge for the competition, got promoted from being a regular judge on a panel to a chair judge, who leads the panel and explains results to the debaters. This far exceeded assistant director of debate and faculty adviser Nicole Johnson’s hope for the team, which was to beat 25 percent of the teams. “Ultimately my expectations for this tournament was nothing more than to provide students with an experience unlike anything they’ve ever had.” Johnson said. “Not only did we do that, we also performed well.” The debaters were chosen from a multidisciplinary group of students in

Every Ball State student has a story to tell. Some of us worked until the final bell in Bracken Library sounded for three or four days in a row, just to prepare enough to be accepted into a department or finish a lengthy project. Some of us started our freshman year in Lafollette Complex with no friends in our entire hall, only to find life-long friends living next door by the end of the year. And some of us had the best – and sometimes worst – experiences at parties across campus. When I moved into Baker 126 in the Noyer Complex more than three years ago as a freshman journalism major, I imagined my story would center around the Ball State Daily News. I wanted to work my way up the ranks in the newsroom, going from staff writer my freshman year to editor-in-chief my senior year. Now, after writing hundreds of articles and spending countless hours inside the Daily News newsroom, I turned that goal into reality. But my position doesn’t come with the luxury of telling you my story. Instead, I want to tell your stories. And so does the rest of the DN. Last semester, we made a push to become a more digitalfirst news organization. We incorporated stories, photos, videos and graphics into our online product, and eventually, we switched over to a more user-friendly website, bsudaily.com. After the Daily News was recently named a College Hybrid Publication Crown Finalist by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, meaning we’ve done well at combining our print and online coverage, I believe we’ve made strides in truly becoming digital-first. But we’re still building on that goal. And this semester, we have a new goal: to provide you with the most interesting and compelling stories about Ball State. That seems like a pretty simple goal for a news organization, right? Well, sometimes that goal needs be re-emphasized. And that’s what we’re doing. We’re not alone this time, though. As a part a new initiative between the journalism and telecommunications departments, Ball State’s student media organizations are starting to combine their efforts. You may have already seen this on bsudaily.com, which features content from the Daily News, Ball Bearings, NewsLink Indiana, WCRD and SportsLink. In the next few years, all of these student media organizations will work together in the same newsroom. Until that happens, we’re working together online. All of us may present the news in different ways, but we all embody the same goal of presenting the best stories at Ball State to you. So if you’re heading to class or sitting down for lunch, pick up the Ball State Daily News or Ball Bearings and check out the latest news. If you’re relaxing in your dorm room around 9 p.m., turn on NewsLink Indiana. If you’re driving around campus or Muncie, turn on 91.3 WCRD. And go to bsudaily.com for stories from all of those organizations, as well as SportsLink. Remember, these goals and changes aren’t about the Daily News, or about any of the Ball State student media organizations. They’re about you, the audience, and your stories about life at Ball State.

Alabama, ND meet for title game Match-up features old-fashioned style of football teams | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MIAMI — Sometimes, the buildup to a game can overwhelm what actually happens on the field. Certainly, No. 1 Notre Dame and No. 2 Alabama would have to play nothing less than a classic to live up to all the hype for Monday night’s BCS championship. Before either team stepped on the field in balmy South Florida, this was shaping up as one of the most anticipated games in years, a throwback to the era when Keith Jackson & Co. called one game a week, when it was a big deal for teams from different parts of the country to meet in a bowl game, when everyone took sides based on where
they happened to live. North vs. South. Rockne vs. Bear. Rudy vs. Forrest Gump. The Fighting Irish vs. the Crimson Tide. College football’s two most storied programs, glorified in movie and song, facing off for the biggest prize. “It’s definitely not any other game,” said Alabama linebacker C.J. Mosley. For the Crimson Tide (12-1), this is a chance to be remembered as a full-fledged dynasty. Alabama will be trying to claim its third national championship in four years and become the first school to win back-to-back BCS titles, a remarkable achievement given the ever-increasing parity of the college game and having to replace five players from last year’s title team who were picked in the first two rounds of the NFL draft. “To be honest, I think this

team has kind of exceeded expectations,” coach Nick Saban said Sunday. “If you look at all the players we lost last year, the leadership that we lost ... I’m really proud of what this team was able to accomplish.” That said, it’s not a huge surprise to find Alabama playing for another title. That’s not the case when it comes to Notre Dame. Despite their impressive legacy, the Fighting Irish (12-0) weren’t even ranked at the start of the season. But overtime wins against Stanford and Pittsburgh, combined with three other victories by a touchdown or less, gave Notre Dame a shot at its first national title since 1988. After so many lost years, the golden dome has reclaimed its luster in coach Brian Kelly’s third season. “It starts with setting a clear goal for the program,” Kelly said. “Really, what is it? Are we here to get to a bowl game, or are we here to win national championships? So the charge immediately was to play for championships and win a national championship.” Both Notre Dame and Alabama have won eight Associated Press national titles, more than any other school. They are the bluest of the blue bloods, the programs that have long set the bar for everyone else even while enduring some droughts along the way. ESPN executives were hopeful of getting the highest ratings of the BCS era. Tickets were certainly at a premium, with a seat in one of the executive suites going for a staggering $60,000 on StubHub the day before the game, and even a less-thanprime spot in the corner of the upper deck requiring a payout of more than $900. “This is, to me, the ultimate match-up in college football,” said Brent Musberger, the lead
announcer for ESPN. Kelly molded Notre Dame using largely the same formula that has worked so well for Saban in Tuscaloosa: a bruising running game and a stout defense, led by Heisman Trophy finalist Manti Te’o. “It’s a little bit old fashioned in the sense that this is about the big fellows up front,” Kelly said. “It’s not about the crazy receiving numbers or passing yards or rushing yards. This is about the big fellas, and this game will unquestionably be decided up front.” While points figure to be at a premium given the quality of both defenses, Alabama appears to have a clear edge on offense. The Tide has the nation’s highest-rated passer (AJ McCarron), two 1,000-yard rushers (Eddie Lacy and T.J. Yeldon), a dynamic freshman receiver (Amari Cooper), and three linemen who made the AP All-America team (first-teamers Barrett Jones and Chance Warmack, plus secondteamer D.J. Fluker). “That’s football at its finest,” said Te’o, who heads a defense that has given up just two rushing touchdowns. “It’s going to be a great challenge, and a challenge that we look forward to.” The Crimson Tide had gone 15 years without a national title when Saban arrived in 2007, the school’s fifth coach in less than a decade (including one, Mike Price, who didn’t even made it to his first game in Tuscaloosa). Finally, Alabama got it right. In 2008, Saban landed one of the greatest recruiting classes in school history, a group that has already produced eight NFL draft picks and likely will send at least three more players to the pros (including Jones). The following year, the coach guided Alabama to a perfect season,
beating Texas in the title game at Pasadena. Last season, the Tide fortuitously got a shot at another BCS crown despite losing to LSU during the regular season and failing to even win its division in the Southeastern Conference. In a rematch against the Tigers, Alabama romped to a 21-0 victory at the Superdome. The all-SEC matchup gave the league an unprecedented six straight national champions, hastening the end of the BCS. It will last one more season before giving way to a four-team playoff in 2014, an arrangement that was undoubtedly pushed along by one conference hoarding all the titles under the current system. This title game certainly has

BELOW: Defensive tackle E.J. Dunston celebrates with the bowl trophy after Central Florida’s victory. Central Florida toppled Ball State at the Beef ‘O’ Brady’s Bowl, winning by a score of 38-17.
“It’s going to continue to get better and better,” Scholl said. “I think the beauty of what coach Lembo and his staff have done is that they’ve put a program in place. This isn’t done with a couple of kids he inherited. Every decision he makes is a long-term decision.” But with the football season over, the athletic department transitions to the winter and spring sports. Scholl said it will be a challenge improving those teams because it will be his first time going through those seasons at Ball State. “It’s the first time through for me,” Scholl said. “Right now, I feel like I have a great handle on our fall sports. Now I’m trying to develop that same kind of sense to our winter and spring programs.” Along with the bowl game itself, Scholl was also impressed with the number of Ball State fans that traveled to Tropicana Field for the game. The stadium was heavily favored for Central Florida, but the Ball State crowd wasn’t drowned out. Scholl said he hoped the crowd that made the trip to St. Petersburg will help draw larger crowds at Scheumann Stadium and for the other sports at Ball State. “What we need to do is grow [the fan base],” he said. “Hopefully if we get some of the passion from the people that made this trip and grow that in Muncie so when you walk out of the home game you go, ‘Wow. We had a big crowd today.’” The bowl experience obviously would have been better for Ball State had it claimed its first bowl win. But both Lembo and Scholl are confident there will be more bowl games for the school in the future. “The student athletes had an incredible time, [and] the administration, [and] the donors did,” Scholl said. “This is as good as it gets.“

Colts’ unlikely season ends in playoffs Indianapolis held without a touchdown as Baltimore harasses Luck all game long | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BALTIMORE — Andrew Luck was harried and hurried in his first career playoff appearance as the Indianapolis Colts’ unlikely run came to a disappointing end. Chuck Pagano’s emotional return to Baltimore also ended with a thud as the Colts fell 24-9 to the Baltimore Ravens in an AFC wild-card game Sunday. “The Ravens made plays when they needed to and we didn’t,� Luck said. “Field goals in the red zone killed us. Some bad balls by me killed us. ... I wish we could have done better.� After improving from 2-14 to 11-5 with No. 1 overall draft pick Luck running their high-octane offense, the Colts couldn’t even score a touchdown against the Ravens, who advanced to the conference semifinals against Denver next weekend. But Pagano chose to emphasize the improvements the Colts made in a season filled with adversity, rather than dwell on the way it ended. “The foundation is set, and we said we were going to build one on rock and not on sand,� Pagano said. “You weather storms like this and you learn from times like this. This disappointment and the feelings they all have right now, that’s what’s going to propel us to 2013 and
motivate us to come back and work even harder.� One key moving forward will be Luck, who reached the playoffs as a rookie. Luck was 28 for 54 for 288 yards and an interception, but was often under pressure and forced to scramble by a Ravens defense energized by the return of linebacker Ray Lewis from a torn triceps. “My only focus was to come in and get my team a win. Nothing else was planned,� the 37-yearold Lewis said. “It’s one of those things, when you recap it all and try to say what is one of your greatest moments. I knew how it started, but I never knew how it would end here in Baltimore. To go the way it did today, I wouldn’t change nothing.� Lewis, who announced earlier this week he would retire after Baltimore’s playoff run, was playing the final home game of his 17-year career. “We still had opportunities,� said Luck, who was sacked three times. “We still put ourselves in positions to score and didn’t take advantage of them, and a lot of credit goes to the Baltimore defense. What a great, great unit. I wish we could have capitalized on a couple of those drives, but we didn’t.� Pagano, the former Ravens defensive coordinator who missed 12 Colts games this season

He’s in good shape. ... He’ll be back with us tomorrow.� Indianapolis had won five of its final six games to clinch a wild-card berth, and moved the ball during the first half, but

He was previously 10 of 11 between 40 and 49 yards this season. “In games like this,� Vinatieri said, “you have to make them all.� The Ravens followed up Vinatieri’s miss — his first after 18 successful kicks against the Ravens — Baltimore retaliated with a five-play, 70-yard drive that ended with a touchdown pass from Joe Flacco to Anquan Boldin. Until that point, even with an offense that couldn’t manage a touchdown, it was still a onescore game. “It’s always come down to a one-score game, a 10-point deficit, and this team has always been able to overcome that for many weeks,� Pagano said. “Sitting on the sideline and looking in everybody’s eyes, the faith and belief was still there that we were going to get the job done.�
