GROWING A TRADITION Participation in Ball State’s Judo club is on the rise for both men and women.

Drew Pierce Reporter From having just four members three years ago to having more than 20 consistent participants now, the Ball State Judo club has seen rapid growth as of late.

As the only collegiate club of the 10 that make up Indiana Judo Inc., Ball State has another outlying difference. Of the 25 official members in Ball State’s club, 13 are women.

“We are actually an anomaly,” junior treasurer Antonette Hannah said. “We might have more men, but usually, we have more women ... who come [to practice]. [As a woman], when you fight guys more, you feel less powerful. [When] fighting someone who is your own strength, it is like, ‘I can actually do this.’”

When female members from Ball State travel to different meets, they often don’t have many competitors. This is one challenge Hannah said she faces all the time.

“Judo for women is very small,” Hannah said. “In tournaments, there are not a lot of women. There has only been one girl for me to fight, so we know each other now.”

Judo is an art described as a cross between Jiu Jitsu and wrestling that relies on body control to throw, choke and pin opponents.

Even with the lack of women to compete against, Ball State alumnus and current club sensei Mario Camacho said he is excited to have a large number of women in his club.

Runoff election concludes with Bold as 2020-21 SGA executive slate.

Charles Melton and Rohith Rao | Assistant News Editor and News Editor Conner Sanburn, president-elect from the Bold slate, sat in Digital Corps’ conference room Tuesday in the Ball Communication Building surrounded by empty white boards.

With the slate’s campaign manager, Kyleigh Cramer, and the treasurer candidate, Amanda Mustaklem, they eagerly awaited election results while listening to Elton John songs and discussing the events of the day prior to the watch party.

A little after 5 p.m., Cramer finally received the long-awaited call revealing Bold was the winner of the 2020 Student Government Association election.

Bold won the runoff election with 53.1 percent of the vote — 12 percent more than their competitor, Alliance.

After hearing the election results, Sanburn said, he was “still jittering” over the news of his slate’s victory after three weeks of campaigning.

To prepare for his upcoming role as president, Sanburn said, he will be meeting

with current SGA president Aiden Medellin after spring break to go through necessary documents for the transition to the newlyelected slate.

“I want to read a lot, and I want to watch a lot about how to be a good leader,” Sanburn said. “I feel that I’m a good leader already, but how can I be better and serve all students on our campus, not just students who some might perceive I represent?”

Looking ahead, one project he said he would like to work on is creating a partnership with the counseling center at Ball State to form some type of curriculum that could be used to aid students throughout the semester.

Bold will be inaugurated as the new slate at the SGA meeting April 15.

Reflecting on the loss: While he was stressed out prior to the results being announced, Aric Fulton, presidential candidate of Alliance, said he felt good about winning 41 percent of the student vote.

“I’m just so f****** proud of us,” Fulton said. “I’m so proud of our hard work.”

Alliance, he said, went into the election not knowing what to expect, what it was going to take and minimal conversations with people familiar with the elections process. However, Fulton said he and his slate members “brought a new perspective” to SGA. Avery Pollard, the slate’s secretary candidate, said she is proud her team made it this far in the elections. “[I’m] a little disappointed that we didn’t win because I think we had a lot of people supporting us and a lot of people really vibing with what we were saying and really hoping that we would win,” Pollard said.

Nevertheless, she said the election has been “an amazing journey.”

“I’m not involved in SGA. I’m not necessarily someone that cared about SGA before, but I think now, I definitely care about SGA,” Pollard said.

FILING TAXES 101

Step 2: If you determine you don’t have to file taxes

Ball State professor shares tips for students filing taxes.

• If students wish to get back the money listed as federal or state withholdings on their W-2 form — the prepayment for the taxes they might owe — they should file their taxes even if their total earnings fall below the standard deduction amount.

• All income-earning students are encouraged to file taxes because state tax rules aren’t always the same as federal rules, and students might meet the minimum state requirements for filing taxes.

• If students haven’t earned any money for a tax year but have filed taxes for previous years, they can file a zero return so the IRS has it on record that a person didn’t forget to file a tax return for a particular year.

• There’s no reason to file a zero return if a student has never filed taxes before.

- Staff Reports Filing taxes can be a complicated process for both students and other working adults, said Jason Stanfield, assistant professor of accounting at Ball State.

“I think the majority of the reason our taxes are so complicated is our economy has gotten very complicated in the way that people make income, receive gains and some of those sorts of things,” Stanfield said.

With the deadline for filing taxes, April 15, less than two months away, Stanfield, who also supervises Ball State’s free IRS-sponsored program Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA), offered tips for students this tax season.

Step 3: How to file taxes

Step 1: Determine if you have to file taxes • Those who don’t have any income don’t have to file taxes.

• People don’t have to file federal taxes if their total earnings for the year do not exceed the standard deduction amount — the threshold at which a person would have to file taxes.

• The standard deduction for single taxpayers or married couples filing separately is $12,200; for married couples filing a joint tax return, it is $24,400; and for heads of households, it is $18,350, according to the IRS’ website.

• Students can use IRS-recommended websites like TurboTax, TaxAct and H&R Block to file their tax returns themselves.

• Subject to IRS eligibility requirements, most students, employees and families of Ball State and Muncie Community Schools with annual incomes less than $56,000 can use Ball State’s VITA program for help filing taxes by scheduling an appointment on the program’s website.

• Students can also bring the tax returns they filed through any online tax-filing service for verification with the VITA program to gain confidence in the quality of their tax returns.

• Students are encouraged to seek professional help when dealing with complicated tax-filing situations, such as filing taxes in more than one state.

• Students who have had prior income but haven’t filed taxes before should consider seeing a professional or using the VITA program, although the latter typically assists with those prioryear filings after the tax season is over.

A PROGRAM FOR PROGRAMMERS

Immersive learning project brings computer science to MCS. John Lynch Reporter

Editor’s Note: Will English, The Daily News’ web developer, was a part of the immersive learning class mentioned in the article.

For three years, Ball State computer science students have worked to make their field available to the next generation of computer scientists.

Since fall 2017, Ball State computer science professor Dave Largent and his students have partnered with Northside Middle School, Burris Laboratory School and Muncie Central High School for an immersive learning program focused on teaching computer hardware and software.

As I’ve looked at possible solutions to [the lack of diversity], one of the solutions I realized was if we can educate or make young students aware of the possibility that they can be a computer scientist in the future, then that’s going to fill that pipeline [with] more diversity.”

- DAVE LARGENT, Ball State computer science professor The program, Largent said, encourages involvement in computer science through instruction for both students and teachers alike so teachers can continue the instruction after the project’s completion.

“Overall, the goal would be to get as many grade school and high school students exposed to computer science as possible,” Largent said.

The original idea for the project, Largent said, was based on the idea of bringing more diversity to computer science, which he called “very whitemale-dominated.”

“As I’ve looked at possible solutions to [the lack of diversity], one of the solutions I realized was if we can educate or make young students aware of the possibility that they can be a computer scientist in the future, then that’s going to fill that pipeline [with] more diversity,” Largent said.

The groups of Ball State students participating in the project met several problems during the semester, including the fact that some Muncie Community Schools teachers had little to no experience in computer science, said project member and senior computer science major Corbin Creedon. Some of the biggest complications in the process involved getting teachers to open up to the learning themselves.

“Something that immediately came up for specifically our group is how our teacher had no computer science background at all,” Creedon, said. “He was hired in the summer, took a quick week lesson plan from Project Lead the Way (PLTW) to learn some stuff, and that was it.”

Largent’s students were also challenged to interact with the middle and high school students over the course of several meetings throughout the semester where they taught the students both the physical construction of computers and software creation.

Junior computer science major Sara Bailey said her experience as a woman in the field of computer science was an important part of wanting to work with younger students.

“I also liked working with kids, and I thought the idea of helping kids, and especially girls, like younger girls, get into computer science was exciting,

Computer science professor Dave Largent watches as his class prepares lessons Nov. 5, 2019, in the Robert Bell Building. The groups worked with students from Muncie Community Schools for nine weeks during the fall semester. JOHN LYNCH, DN because, personally, I know that I didn’t have that much support in middle school,” Bailey said.

Bailey and her group taught the students for nine weeks. At the culmination of the course, the students were asked to assemble a final project that showcased their understanding of computer science.

For the classes near the end of the semester, that meant designing holiday decorations.

“For these nine weeks, because of Thanksgiving and Christmas, [the final projects are] primarily holiday-based, so one of them was [to] create a small light system to be seen in the dark or something like that, or create a waving Santa through [an input],” Creedon said.

Going forward, Largent said, he hopes to implement the project beyond the fall semester of each year.

In an immersive learning project composed primarily of computer science students, Largent said lowering the number of credits and adding a spring semester could make the project more appealing to students outside of the field.

Computer science majors Corbin Creedon, Chris Bucker and Sara Bailey discuss their lesson plans for the coming weeks.

The classes aimed to teach students from Muncie Community Schools more about the hardware and software of computers.

JOHN LYNCH, DN

“[Adding the spring semester] will provide continuous interactions with the schools throughout the year,” Largent said in an email.

“With the reduced credit hours, I’m hopeful to include more students and maybe even include some education majors as well, as it will be easier for

them to include another small class into their schedule.”

SGA

Continued from Page 3 While James Schwer, the treasurer candidate for Alliance, is already an SGA senator, Pollard and Malachi Jones, the slate’s vice presidential candidate, said they were interested in running to become SGA senators.

Fulton said he needs some time to process his experience before considering being involved in SGA as a senator.

“I’m definitely still very passionate about advocating for students, ensuring that students’ voices are heard and holding SGA accountable,” he said. “I feel like no one has been holding SGA accountable when it comes to being transparent with information, giving students the opportunity to voice their concerns and also putting SGA out in the Ball State community.”

Future SGA elections: Thomas May, SGA elections commissioner, said the elections board considered the runoff election a success when

compared with the first round of the elections.

This runoff election had a voter turnout of 1,853 students — 108 fewer votes than this year’s first round of voting but 229 more votes than 2019’s second round of voting.

“I think having a higher turnout than last year’s election also shows that the efforts we put into pushing out turnout were beneficial to the population,” May said.

While not easier, he said, this year’s elections were better compared to the 2019 elections, which had multiple campaign violations. May said this year’s election had no campaign violations by the slates.

For future elections, he said the elections board is considering clarifying two things related to the elections code — the times and locations for election campaigning and adding language about what happens if the no-confidence vote wins or prevents any slate from winning a majority.

May said he and Matt Hinkleman, elections board sheriff, will be working on legislation to introduce rankedchoice voting in future elections to help eliminate the need for a runoff election.

With 11 more wins than last year, the Cardinals’ previous record has become just that — the past.

A season ago, head coach Brady Sallee had the worst record of his coaching reign at Ball State — the worst since 2011-12 when the Cardinals finished 9-21 in Kelly Packard’s last season of her four-year coaching stint at the university.

But Sallee said the Cardinals’ newfound success this year stems from their ability to play as a team, not because they picked up an elite scorer in the offseason.

“For us, it’s kind of business as usual, but there’s a difference in our business as usual,” Sallee said. “Somewhere along the way, this team decided to connect personally and really focus on becoming a team at a high level.”

That somewhere may have been in the team meeting room over the summer. The Cardinals sat in silence when Sallee asked for their individual goals for the upcoming season. He dismissed the meeting and left his players to figure it out on their own.

Eventually, the players got together and wrote their goals on a piece of paper. They placed the paper on Sallee’s desk and left. To this day, the team has yet to revisit the goal sheet, and for Sallee, that’s a good thing.

“We’ve never had a follow-up meeting, and that sheet of paper has sat on my desk, and we’ve never revisited it,” Sallee said.

“Right now, I think it is good that we didn’t because it might have put a ceiling on us, and I just don’t think this team has one.”

Realizing what a team’s potential and identity is can have a big impact on the season.

For the Cardinals, embracing who they are as a team has been a big part of their success.

“I think our girls [have come] to grips with [the fact of] that is who we are,” Sallee said. “So, if that is who we are, let’s play to our strength.

I think every team throughout the non-conference and the early conference are trying to establish identity. If you can wrap your arms around what that identity is and really do something with it, those are the teams that may be setting themselves apart.”

The Cardinals decided this year their identity is being the winning team — no matter who scores on a regular basis or how the work gets done, as long as they come out on top.

Junior forward Oshlynn Brown currently leads the team in scoring, averaging just more than 13 points per game, but the Cardinals have won six games in which Brown didn’t reach double figures in scoring.

Brown is an intricate part of their offense, but it isn’t the end of the world when she doesn’t play well.

“With us this year, you don’t know who it is going to be,” graduate student guard Jasmin Samz said. “One through eight, you don’t who is going to show up. You know we’re going to show up defensively, and we’re going to give you a hard time and were going to be extremely tough, physical and fast.”

You know we’re going to show up defensively, and we’re going to give you a hard time and were going to be extremely tough, physical and fast.”

- JASMIN SAMZ, Graduate student guard

Trust is something that must happen at a high level to play with this mentality and mindset. The Cardinals have trust in each other that when someone comes off the bench,

they are going to play just as hard as the next person.

“There is so much trust in everyone that we don’t really care who is scoring, as long as it’s us,” Samz said. “It’s something that you don’t see very often, it’s something that we haven’t really had in a couple of years, but it comes with the offseason that we’ve had.”

The freshmen on the team learned that from the get-go, and the upperclassmen got them up to speed on the mentality quickly. Freshman forward Annie Rauch said the younger players’ impact this season has a lot to do with the mentorship of the upperclassmen.

“I think they know what it takes to win, and they see potential in the younger players like me and Sydney [Freeman],” Rauch said. “They just do what they can to get the best out of us.”

By changing their mindset, the Cardinals have also eliminated negativity. By doing that, the team has seen the benefits.

“We’re not reliant on one person,” Sallee said. “I think it frees [the team] up to just play the game. They don’t have the pressure of ‘I have to,’ and it’s worked for this group.”

Dee Slagle, junior general studies major, said her plant-loving grandma inspired her green thumb and her passion for the solitude, peace and beauty of plants.

“I remember [my grandma’s] house being covered in plants when I was little,” Slagle said. “The one running joke is that if she plant-sits for you, [the plants] won’t come back because they

want to stay at grandma’s.”

In her dorm room, Slagle said, she has 12 plants, including a Hibiscus tree she named Morgan Treeman.

“I name my plants because I adopted them into my little plant family,” Slagle said. “I think that they have their own little personalities. It also helps it seem like they have a place of belonging instead of just being a plant on a shelf.”

She continues to spread her love for the environment as a greenhouse keeper for Ball State’s Rinard Orchid Greenhouse, taking care of the largest university-based orchid collection in the United States.

“I have fallen in love with working there,” Slagle said. “I absolutely love working with animals [at the greenhouse too], and I was thrilled

when I found out that I would be taking care of frogs, fish and turtles.”

Like Slagle, Sam Luginbuhl, senior wildlife biology major and another greenhouse keeper, said her love for plants, animals and nature started when she was young.

“Growing up, my mom was really into environmental-friendly things,” Luginbuhl said. “She always recycled, [and] she grew herbs and plants. I was always helping my mom with gardening and yard work. I helped my dad with yard work too.”

But, despite their prolonged love for the environment, both Slagle and Luginbuhl said, they didn’t initially plan to work at the greenhouse.

“I actually worked at the [Field Station and Environmental Education Center],” Luginbuhl said. “I was telling [Cheryl LeBlanc, curator of the Rinard Orchid Greenhouse] that I could work [at the greenhouse], and at first, she was like, ‘Well, you might not have enough hours,’ but then, she ended up not being able to find anyone, so I got the job.”

As for Slagle, she said her hiring process didn’t necessarily go as planned after she began applying through the Career Center.

“I didn’t know where I needed to go, so I strolled over to the greenhouse and started talking with Cheryl,” Slagle said. “What I didn’t realize is that I wasn’t supposed to just walk up to her and start an interview. I was supposed to go to Cooper Science and wait to get a call for an interview.”

When hiring students, the greenhouse staff looks for students like Slagle and Luginbuhl who have prior plant experience or interest.

“You don’t have to be a biology major or botany

[major], but in your personal life, if you have a really strong interest in plants, that’s always a big benefit,” said Erica Forstater, environmental education and greenhouse coordinator. “We really appreciate it when students volunteer with us first because that lets us actually know who you are. You’ll already have some of the basics down, and we hope that you’ll stay around for a long time.”

Now, both Luginbuhl and Slagle take turns performing a variety of tasks for the greenhouse.

Slagle said she works four days a week, and she starts her day by making new fly cultures and taking care of the greenhouse’s animals.

“Sometimes, I make the fertilizer for the watering, but that depends on the day of the week,” Slagle said. “I water the conservatory and squeegee the floor so that it can dry. We also have to record the temperatures of the houses to make sure that they are adequate for the plants.

“The biggest thing that captured my attention was the fact that we have to breed wingless fruit flies for the frogs to eat. It is really gross but also really neat to do.”

ADOPT-A-PLANT CORNER In one of the corners of the Rinard Orchid Greenhouse, the greenhouse staff has a table lined with different plants for visitors to “adopt.” For the sale, the greenhouse currently offers sensitive plants and succulents. Plants range from $5 to $20, depending on the type of plant. Each plant purchase is a donation to the greenhouse. Visitors can adopt as many plants as they would like and take them home to care for them on their own.

One of Luginbuhl’s largest tasks is unraveling the hose to water more than 2,000 orchids and other plants growing in the greenhouse.

“One big thing is just making sure that I’m watering everything properly,” Luginbuhl said.

“Depending on how the weather is that day, I have to water the greenhouse specifically. There’s thousands of plants in here, so I have to know each of their biological needs in order to water them correctly.”

Both Luginbuhl and Slagle have plants they favor over others. Luginbuhl said her

favorite is the bucket orchid, which only blooms once a year, while Slagle prefers “the sensitive plants because you can scare them, and they shrink,” she said.

One of the benefits of working at the greenhouse is being surrounded by warmth during the winter, Slagle and Luginbuhl agreed.

“I know that’s small, but I really enjoy that,” Luginbuhl said.

are animals and plants that are very sensitive, and if something isn’t done properly, then it could harm them.”

Luginbuhl’s one wish for the greenhouse, she said, is she wants more people to know it exists.

“A lot of people really don’t know that [the greenhouse] is here,” Luginbuhl said. “It’s a little far, but it’s worth it.”

“Mexican Modernity” at the David Owsley Museum of Art highlights Mexican artists and styles.

Mary Stempky Reporter

Sophomore marketing major David Elmore stops to take a photo of the prints in the “Mexican Modernity: 20th Century Paintings from the Zapanta Collection” exhibit Feb. 23, 2020, in the David Owsley Museum of Art. The exhibit is located both upstairs and downstairs in the museum. BROOKE KEMP, DN

has not only been a rewarding experience, Slagle said, but has also taught her discipline and responsibility.

“I have to make sure that I am paying attention to what I am doing. If I accidentally water a plant that is dormant for the season, it could jeopardize the blooming of the plant during its blooming season,” Slagle said. “I have to be aware of my actions because this is a house of living things. There

Through colorful paintings, drawings, prints and vintage photographs, the David Owsley Museum of Art (DOMA) works to tell the stories of modern Mexican artists in its newest exhibit, “Mexican Modernity: 20th Century Paintings From The Zapanta Collection.”

Robert La France, director of DOMA, said the collection originally came from Los Angeles from Richard Zapanta, a fourth-generation MexicanAmerican. Once organized by the Cornell Fine Arts Museum at Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida, “Mexican Modernity” traveled to DOMA.

“[The exhibit] demonstrates the styles and progression … of the styles [from] several different generations of Mexican artists of the 20th century,” La France said.

Part of the reason DOMA officials brought the exhibit to campus, La France said, was to help Ball State continue

to promote inclusiveness and diversity. Another factor was the exhibition’s timeliness, as 2020 marks the 500th anniversary of the Mexican colonization.

Full Dis-Chlo-Sure

The awful Oxford

EMILY WRIGHT, DN ILLUSTRATION

If you’re literate, you shouldn’t need an extra comma to hold your hand.

Chloe Fellwock is a sophomore advertising major and writes “Full Dis-Chlo-sure” for The Daily News. Her views do not necessarily reflect those of the newspaper.

Does it ever just hit you out of nowhere how little you actually know about someone until a disagreement comes up?

Chloe I experienced Fellwock Columnist, “Full something like Dis-Chlo-Sure” this recently.

My whole life, I’ve been an English nerd. Science and math caused many nights of tears at the dining table. My love for English went so deep that whenever we read classic literature in class, I was one of the only people who genuinely enjoyed it — or at least showed it openly.

I listen to NPR word games with my

dad. When I was younger, I found those “I’m Silently Judging Your Grammar” shirts funny. I’m by no means saying I am special for liking English, but I’m definitely a word wench.

When I came to college, I had no strong feelings about the Oxford comma, but college is a time where people change. I didn’t realize how deeply I hated it until my friends and I were talking, and I realized just how passionate they are about that thing. If you ask my friends, the Oxford comma makes a sentence more balanced, that lists look wrong without one.

I’m going to be honest, this obstinate fixation of pretty sentences has me heated.

Oxford commas aren’t necessary whatsoever. They take up time and space, two laws I feel all people should respect as long as we live. And because we live in a capitalist society, time is money. So, when you put that stupid little vertical

ON BYTEBSU.COM: JOJI LOSES PACE WITH ‘RUN’

dash on the page to make it look pretty, you’re wasting money in a time where the national deficit is already huge.

And if you dug a hole to fit everyone’s debt, the Earth would be sucked into a space vacuum because the hole would go straight through the middle. Don’t bother fact checking that — it’s ridiculous and would take up way too much time to verify. Leave that to me. I can fact check outrageous claims with all the time I’ve saved by not using Oxford commas.

It’s also unnecessary for the purpose of reading fluidity. If you’re literate, or if you’ve ever spoken, you know you’re supposed to pause before listing the last item in a sequence.

I know what you are thinking: “But Chloe, sometimes the lack of a comma indicates a pair being considered as a single item.” Oh, gosh, wouldn’t that be awful if you had to use some critical thinking to figure out which is which?

What a shame to be required to use context. Please, just grow up.

Not only that, the Oxford comma is deemed improper in AP style. And honestly, it’s tragic people who aren’t part of the journalistic world are in the dark about this. AP style is the nationally-recognized, standardized style for journalistic writing. So, if you want to read the news and be an informed citizen, you’ll have to suck it up.

In conclusion, the Oxford comma is an unnecessary, show-offish and elitist punk, and I am formally requesting a fight with the Oxford comma itself. I’ll meet up any time before the conjunction at the end of any list.

But because it’s such a preppy little twerp, I can almost guarantee it won’t be there.

The Oxford comma should not just be allowed but encouraged.

Matthew Yapp is a senior communications major and writes “Masculinquiries” for The Daily News. His views do not necessarily reflect those of the newspaper.

What is the Oxford comma?

The Oxford comma is many things: a tool, an asset, a totem of things lost by our impatient society. If you’re unaware, the Oxford Matthew comma is used before the Yapp final item of a list of three Columnist, “Masculinquiries” or more. It is used for clarity and has overall never caused any harm to anyone ever but has saved many sentences in its humble existence.

AP style doesn’t believe in using the Oxford comma, but in my opinion, AP style is wrong.

If you don’t use the Oxford comma, it is extremely easy to lose the intention of a sentence. If I were to write “I love my parents, Carly Rae Jepsen and The Flash,” you could very easily read that as if I was

brought screaming into this world by the queen of pop and the greatest superhero of all time. While that is a big fantasy of mine, it is not the case. Writing “I love my parents, Carly Rae Jepsen, and The Flash” paints a much more realistic and understandable picture.

Many have spoken out about how using the Oxford comma is useless, saying it is a “waste of time,” among other egregious titles. I argue, however, our society has gotten too wrapped up in saving time. No one is patient anymore, everyone is always going. The Oxford comma offers you the chance to stop, take a breath, and appreciate the world around you.

Being in a constant rush is incredibly unhealthy as well. As someone who has taken a physical fitness and wellness class and tried yoga once, I think I’m more than qualified to say the Oxford comma would be good for your heart. Allow yourself to rest.

On top of that, I would like to call into

question why we blindly follow AP style.

Just because this constantly-criticized, bourgeoisie style guide says we can’t use the Oxford comma doesn’t mean you shouldn’t.

At this point, it’s really just my word against AP style, and you have no reason not to listen to me over it.

Not too long ago, I told a friend he should stop wearing cargo shorts, and he listened, thankfully. He would later be accepted into graduate school, and I like to think his outfit change had quite a bit to do with that. So, clearly, listening to me results in good fortune. I’m not sure listening to the AP Style Guide has gotten anyone anything other than some journalism awards or other nerd things.

Don’t listen to a style guide that is updated and sometimes changed once a year. Instead, listen to me, and use the Oxford comma all you want. It will improve your writing, your attitude, and your life.

DOMA

Continued from Page 10 “A show like [‘Mexican Modernity’] allows [DOMA] to connect with a whole group of people, especially those studying languages, history and humanities,” La France said.

“I hope it also helps [DOMA] connect with the whole generation of Spanish-speaking students that are [at Ball State] and those who might have Mexican heritage as well.”

Because “Mexican Modernity” has the capability of connecting with a large range of individuals, students will be able to engage with the exhibit through class curriculum. Obed Frausto, assistant professor of honors humanities, has taken his students to view “Mexican Modernity,” which he believes has “the best of the best of Mexico,” including artists such as Frida Kahlo.

Frausto said he was interested in the exhibit because, as a professor of humanities, classroom conversations tend to center around why individuals make art. In particular, Frautso said he believes artists in the 20th century were trying to answer the question, “What does it mean to be Mexican?”

“Mexican Modernity’s” complementary exhibit, “Mexican Modernity: IMPACT,” also shows how Mexican culture has impacted East Central Indiana, as the exhibit also consists of loaned art from the Richmond Art Museum, showing how Indiana-born artists adopted Mexican muralists’ styles, according to DOMA’s website.

La France said planning the exhibit — which tells the story of Leslie Curtis Kitselman, a Muncie heiress who married Mexican artist Alva LaSalle — allowed him to explore the Ball family’s art collection. “[Mexican Modernity:

IMPACT shows] some examples of how the Ball family collected works of art

by Diego Rivera and David

I hope [the Muncie community] can be a part of [the exhibit], and feel those connections and maybe build a bridge of empathy.”

- OBED FRAUSTO, Assistant professor of honors humanities Alfaro Siqueiros,” La France said. “The Ball family collected their works even though the works were Marxist and the Ball family [was] capitalist.”

Frausto said he believes the exhibits could help members of the Ball State community break down barriers that have perhaps been created by the current

political conversation between U.S. and Mexican relations. “[The exhibits] put close an image that is not political [but] is a more humanitarian, humanistic perspective of the people from Mexico,” Frausto said. “It allows us to make more connections and have more empathy [for those from Mexico]. I hope [the Muncie community] can be a part of [the exhibit], and feel those connections and maybe build a bridge of empathy — a bridge of understanding to a culture, a society we are neighbors [to].”

Frausto said he has seen the breakdown of barriers between Mexican and American cultures among his own students, as they have asked to hear more about Mexico or be taught Spanish.

“Those who want to engage with this exhibit can get much out of it,” Frausto said. “The exhibit is a small piece of Mexican culture, but that piece has so much value.”
