The Daily News Letter from the Editor
New design, same commitment Notice anything different? Your Daily News, a product of Ball State students for more than 90 years, has a fresh new look this week. The changes include a new nameplate featuring the full name of the paper rather than our DN nickname, and numerous design improvements to make the newspaper easier to read, navigate and spend time with. One thing hasn’t changed, and that’s our commitment to this campus and our fellow students. But first, about that redesign: It’s been
several years since we last changed the look of the paper, and this reboot is the result of a year-long discussion. Ashley Downing, a senior journalism graphics major, led the development of this clean, modern look with the guidance of instructor Ryan Sparrow and the advice of our editors and staff. As the incoming editor-in-chief, I had a hand in some of those decisions. I’m glad to tell you that driving every discussion was the desire to update the paper and make it more useful. We know the printed newspaper
occupies a unique space for millennials. College students are busy with mobile devices, super-connected with the world 24/7. Though we’re part of that digital world — we’ve won national honors for our online journalism — we think the printed paper offers you something important. Size, for one. When you open the newspaper you’re scanning a field of view many times the size of a small smartphone screen. When we tell a story with photos, graphics and compelling text, it’s a big-screen view that makes the pictures
pop, the headlines shout. It’s a bigger stage for presenting the news, and this redesign makes it stand out even more and allows more flexibility for the fresh, design-rich content we’re striving to present. The new look comes with a renewed commitment, too. We’re doubling down on our mission to tell the daily story of life at Ball State and advocate for the students. See LETTER, page 6

hen Noah Jeffries saw the emergency weather alert pop up on his phone during an astronomy class, he knew it was time to go. The freshman telecommunications major and Kokomo native had lived through one tornado before, and the possibility of a second natural disaster was even more serious this time around. “It’s so scary when something so big and harmful is happening at home and you’re far away,” Jeffries said. “My grandparents and my mom and the people I know still live there — I had to get back and help.” See TORNADO, page 3

DINNER FOR 2ISH
Due to new program requirements set forth by the Indiana Commission for Higher Education (ICHE), a vast majority of incoming high school seniors are at risk of losing one of the state’s most influential scholarships designed to help low-income students. According to released state data, about 80 percent — or more than 14,000 students — are behind in meeting new requirements for the state’s 21st Century Scholars program in the state. Indiana’s 21st Century Scholars program guarantees a student will receive up to four years of undergraduate tuition at any participating public college or university or award a comparable amount to that of a four-year public college to students who chose to go to a private institute in Indiana. Due to poor college competition rates, lawmakers decided to kick start the Scholar Success Program, which now requires 21st century scholars to complete 12 tasks, including creating a graduation plan, visiting a college campus, getting a job and searching for other scholarships before high school graduation.

Every issue we take a look at a national or wordly topic and get student commentary on what's happening around the globe.
World's first self-driving taxis debut in Singapore The Associated Press SINGAPORE (AP) — The world’s first self-driving taxis are picking up passengers in Singapore. Select members of the public began hailing free rides through their smartphones in taxis operated by nuTonomy, an autonomous vehicle software startup. While multiple companies, including Google and Volvo, have been testing self-driving cars on public roads for several years, nuTonomy says it is the first to offer rides to the public. The ultimate goal is to have a fully self-driving taxi fleet in Singapore by 2018, which will help sharply cut the number of cars on Singapore’s congest-
ed roads. Eventually, the model could be adopted in cities around the world, nuTonomy says. For now, the taxis are only running in a 2.5-square-mile business and residential district and pick-ups and drop-offs are limited to specified locations. Riders must have an invitation from nuTonomy to use the service. The company says dozens have signed up for the launch, and it plans to expand that list to thousands of people within a few months. Eventually, riders may start paying for the service, and more pick-up and drop-off points will be added. NuTonomy also is working on testing similar taxi services in other Asian cities as well as in the U.S. and Europe.

SATURDAY, AUG. 27 NOAH JEFFRIES // PHOTO PROVIDED
On Wednesday, thousands were left without power after an EF3-grade tornado ripped through Kokomo. Hundreds of homes were damaged.
TORNADO Continued from page 1
The EF3 tornado tore through Kokomo on Wednesday, damaging hundreds of homes and leaving thousands without power, according to the National Weather Service. Noah said he made the hour-drive back home as soon as he could, but on the way, he faced the wrath of the storm himself. “When I was on the road going back home, I was driving through the really bad part of the storm, and I actually passed the tornado to the south of me,” Noah said. “It was very, very scary and I really just wanted to get there and be with my family as soon as I could.” Like Jeffries, junior business major Tayler Persons, a point guard for the Ball State men’s basketball team, made the trip back home to Kokomo. Although Persons said he didn’t face bad weather on the way, he did have concerns about what he might see when returning to his hometown. “I was there for the tornado in 2013, and that was just awful to see and be there,” Persons said. “When I got back (to Kokomo), it was still really bad, but I knew how to help this time around, so that’s what I set out to do.” Persons, a graduate of Kokomo High School, took to social media to gather friends from Ball State and those near the destruction site to meet in Kokomo the next day. More than 200 volunteers showed up, Persons said, and the team spent the day at community outreach centers helping cleanup efforts and distributing supplies to those displaced by the storm. “It’s very humbling to be here and be able to help my community at a great time of need like this,” Persons
said. “I’m also really grateful to everyone who came out to help, even with the little things. It makes a big difference to a lot of the people who were impacted and taken by surprise by the tornado and the storm.” Although the weather pattern resulted in at least 22 tornadoes in Indiana — with as many as eight in the Kokomo area — the tornado outbreak wasn’t projected by computer models, said David Call, a meteorology professor at Ball State University. “(Wednesday’s) weather pattern typically does not result in a tornado outbreak,” Call said. “That is why most forecasters and computer models did not project them. In fact, there were doubts that thunderstorms would form at all.” When a similar tornado hit the same area of Kokomo in 2013, Noah’s mom, Brandi Jeffries, said there seemed to be little warning about that storm, as well. “Both of these tornados seemed to come at unexpected times, but this community is really strong here, and we’ve been able to handle the tragedies well,” Brandi said. “I’m really grateful for the volunteers, including my son, who have gone out, without questions, and really helped people around here out.” The day after the storm hit, Noah said he was up early, helping cut down trees, cleaning up debris and taking water and other necessities to those in the area. The Indiana Red Cross was also at the scene of the destruction hours after the tornado hit, offering support to those in need. “We are committed to supporting residents in affected areas,” said Chad Priest, Regional CEO for the
HOW YOU CAN HELP

Diapers, formula and toiletries are a top priority. • Text HOOSIER to 41444 to donate to the Salvation Army’s tornado relief efforts. The Salvation Army is sheltering 200+ people in need of food and shelter. • You can call the Howard County’s 211 hotline if you want to help as a short-term volunteer and answer phones or hand out supplies for the Red Cross.
Indiana Region for the American Red Cross. “We will continue to work together with our Red Cross volunteers and our partner agencies making sure people have their basic needs and know the Red Cross is always there.” The Red Cross and Salvation Army will continue to work together to ensure residents in the area continue to receive what is needed, a Red Cross spokesperson said. In the meantime, Noah said he’s happy to be one of the volunteers and is hopeful those in Kokomo will come together in the coming days and weeks to continue cleanup efforts as a community. “It feels so good to go out and help people who have gone through something so devastating, especially in my hometown,” Noah said. “We’re just going to rebuild again. We’re going to keep our heads high just like we did three years ago and we’re going to get through it as a community.” Contact Casey Smith with any questions or concerns at news@bsudailynews.com.

21ST CENTURY Continued from page 1
In addition to the 12 tasks, which were born out of legislation passed in 2011, lawmakers also raised the high school GPA to become eligible for the program to 2.5 from 2.0. Students also must complete at least 30 credit hours each school year — a course load the state considers full time — or receive a lesser scholarship amount. The class of 2017 will be the first group of students to go through the new program. As of July 25, two months after announcing the new program, the percentage of students on track grew from 20 percent to 26 percent, according to ICHE. While the percentage of those falling behind is worrisome, the state is working diligently to make members of the class of 2017 aware of the new requirements by conducting meetings to connect with potential scholarship recipients and sending out emails and letters in the mail. Students are also able to track their individual achievements in the Scholar Success Program through an online portal that aims to increase students’ independence, letting them update their progress at their own pace and on their own time. Indiana Commissioner for Higher Education Teresa Lubbers said it is important to understand the actual scholarship program in order to understand the benefits of the new requirements. “The expectations were put in place to make sure that the students were not only receiving their money after graduation but that they were actually prepared to succeed once they get into college,” Lubbers said. “Keep in mind the scholarship was never designed simply as a scholarship program. It was designed to get kids inspired to go to college starting in middle school and then to use those years in high school to prepare them and then to provide the scholarship. It won’t be because of these requirements that students won’t go to college. I believe the
likelihood that students will go to college will actually increase with this program because they are the right expectations. ” Lubbers believes the new expectations are ones that all students should be working toward accomplishing even if they are not 21st century scholars. “These are expectations that we have that, in fact, all students who plan to go to college should be thinking about themselves,” Lubbers said. “You should have a graduation plan, come up with some sort of career interest, visit a college campus. … We are convinced that these expectations that we have created are not in any way difficult to meet as a student.” Self-advocacy is also important for scholars to develop throughout high school and college to be academically successful, she said. “I think it is important for students to learn to be self advocates, but I think that is not done at one point in time. It happens during a period of time, and it doesn’t always happen for the right student at the right time,” Lubbers said. “Understanding college and that culture may be easier for someone who comes from a family who actually has college experience and they can ask questions to. For first-generation students, that may be a heavier responsibility. It’s just important at some point for it to take place.” However, she also believes the support throughout school, especially in college, is also important. “I think the idea that when scholars get to campus we just cut them free and they sink or swim on their own is not really the best way to do it,” Lubbers said. “We don’t want them to be anonymous when they get there. We want them to be a part of learning communities, and we want them to have someone to see are they going to class — not hand holding, but at some point during that time in college, they become a stronger self advocate and they are successful and
graduate.” Similar to high school, there are still requirements that scholars have to accomplish in order to continue receiving the 21st century scholarship, which includes filing out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) every year, maintaining at least a 2.5 GPA and completing at least 30 credits each academic year. To help, the university offers multiple resources to 21st Century scholars. “Ball State offers an application fee waiver, summer bridge programs, a ScholarCorps member on campus, and two Retention and Graduation Specialists [for 21st century scholars],” said Dillon Wyatt, retention and graduation specialist. “We do make a special effort to contact and assist 21st Century Scholars.” At this time, there are approximately 650 first-time freshmen who are 21st century scholars, Wyatt said. “The scholarship enables students to attend college. It pays for up to four years of tuition,” Wyatt said. “This has a huge impact on students, enabling them to gain a college education when that education may have been out of reach without the scholarship.” The numbers may be low, but “whenever you require a behavioral change, it takes some time for people to know about that,” so Lubbers and the ICHE will continue working toward getting students to college and graduation. “We will continue to double down on our efforts to help students,” she said.

MAJOR CHANGES IN CAMPUS DINING As the fall semester begins, so do several dining updates
Casey Smith & Victor Hamilton News Reporters Big changes in Ball State Dining Services were unveiled with the start of the fall semester, and the additions can be seen throughout the 14 on-campus dining locations. The biggest construction projects in the Atrium and Elliot Dining are officially complete and employees are excited for the new changes, said Dining Services Assistant Director of Personnel Training and Administration Erica Jefferis. The changes, which include a full remodel of Elliot Dining and a partial redesign of Chick-Fil-A, came as a result of necessary updates and improvements to the waiting and eating areas. “The Chick-Fil-A refresh has allowed for a better flow of business for both customers and employees, and Elliot Dining was ready for a full remodel,” Jefferis said. Allison Marigold, a sophomore sociology major, said the new look of both dining areas caught her eye once she returned to campus, and it’s already encouraged her to eat more at the two locations. “I used to never go all the way to Elliot to eat, but it’s so nice now,” Marigold said. “I also have a lot of classes in the Letterman building, so I’ve been going to Chick-Fil-A a lot more, and the line is going so much faster. It’s great.” A new variety of payment options, food choices and discounts are also all in effect now that dining is back in full swing. Students with dining plans now have meal equivalencies of $8.40 for lunch and dinner, an increase of 20 cents from previous school years. For those without dining plans, Apple Pay and Android Pay are now accepted at all dining locations, allowing customers to pay from their smartphone. The new form of payment not only saves time, but is also more secure, Jefferis said. So far, everything with the new payment system has been going well, and Jefferis said she anticipates a lot of new users as the school year moves forward. “We received no official complaints or requests for Apple Pay or Android Pay so far,” Jefferis said. “This is a feature that is standard with the hands-free devices and it’s going well.” Other discounts include 80-cent fountain drinks and coffee when students use 16-ounce BSU Dining reusable mugs or tumblers, which are available for purchase at most cashier stations around campus. When paying for food, those purchasing Dining Cash funds while on a meal plan now also receive 10 percent off every $100 block purchased. Dining Cash, an optional debit account of funds used in the same way as Dining Plus, doesn’t expire
SPECIFIC CHANGES INCLUDE:
• Noyer - Build potato, rice, noodle/grain/lentil bowls, Mexican, or wing bowls with your choice of toppings; options change daily • Student Center Tally — Create-your-own snack mix station • The Atrium - Salmon, steamed broccoli, and rice at the grill • Woodworth - Now serving Hubbard & Cravens specialty drinks at Patisserie • LaFollette - Monthly homestyle specials at Out of Bounds; top-your-own donut bar at The Buff • Elliott - Renovated dining area, complete with fireplaces and soft seating Information courtesy of Erika Jefferis and Ball State Dining Services
until students leave the university and is also available for those living off-campus without a dining plan. To make it easier to grab healthy meals, Dining Services are also lowering the price on most whole fresh fruits this year and have kept prices constant on custom items like salads, sandwiches, wraps and pastas. Dining employees are also labeling items that contain gluten, and are either vegetarian or vegan. Calorie counts are also available online through NetNutrition. Anthony Smith, a freshman undecided major, said he prefers to eat foods without gluten, and the new dining policy has been “a major relief” for him so far. “I know I could have asked what foods didn’t have gluten in them, but when you can just look and see what has gluten and what doesn’t, it’s so much easier,” Smith said. “I’m really happy the dining services here are able to do this. It makes eating in the dining halls a more enjoyable, easier thing.” With many students excited about the new changes, there is also some disappointment, particularly with the departure of Starbucks from Woodworth Commons. “It’s annoying because it used to be right in the middle of campus and I could get the coffee I like,” junior computer science major Ashley Browning said. “I love Starbucks so much, so it’s sad.” Disappointment may be the reaction from some, but Jefferis said the decision to switch to a different coffee company had deeper purpose. “The transition to Hubbard and Cravens was made because we support buying local,” Jefferis said. “There’s still a Starbucks in the Student Center, but we’re excited for the new addition in Woodworth.” The Indianapolis-based coffee and tea company is the newest addition to dining’s options, and the addition marks the completion of dining service’s construction for the school year.

Max Lewis General Reporter TEAMwork for Quality Living will be putting on the first ever DreamFest on Saturday from noon to 5 p.m. at the Delaware County fairgrounds. DreamFest is an inaugural event aimed at raising money for TEAMwork for Quality Living and Delaware County Circles. The organization's mission is to help people in poverty work to get out of poverty and become self-sufficient. The event will include four main “zones:” Sports and Adventure, Kids and Technology, Arts and Culture and Big Stuff. The “zones” consist of experiences such as 3-D printing, aircraft simulators, graffiti art, monster truck rides and tree climbing. Golden Tickets can be used to enter the Dream raffle to win an array of “dream” prizes such as two VIP tickets to "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" with airfare, lodging and a rental car included. Other prizes include a hotair balloon ride for two and dinner at Merks Family Dining with an accompanying one-hour flight over the Muncie area. “DreamFest is a way of bringing the entire community together and building relations,” said Kellie Arrowood, cochair of the event. “In planning this event, we thought of what were the dreams that people in poverty have rather than people in the middle class.” Arrowood, who was once in poverty herself, encourages Ball State students to become involved in DreamFest by

going to dreamfest.org and filling out a volunteer sheet. “A lot of students are going on to a career in education or social work and you are going to deal with someone who is in poverty,” Arrowood said. “Teachers need to understand what is going on in the lives of kids. You may not know that one of your students was kicked out of their house and slept in their car last night.” TEAMwork for Quality Living is also currently involved with other projects. One is a extracurricular fund that provides money for impoverished students' extracurricular expenses in Muncie Public Schools. TEAMwork for Quality Living, which will be celebrating its twentieth anniversary this year, hopes to raise around $5,000 and see 1,000 people at the event. DreamFest is supported by a volunteer staff of around 200. Churches, Boy Scout troops and the Ball State Tennis team will be helping with the festival. “We really did a lot of research on whether this had been done and it hasn’t,” Arrowood said. “Hopefully it will be a yearly thing.” Admission to the event is $5 for adults and teens 13 and older and $2 for children 12 and under. Tickets for experiences are $1 each and Golden Tickets, which are used for raffle prizes, are $5 each. Contact Max Lewis with any questions or concerns at news@bsudailynews.com.
MAKING APPOINTMENTS
If you need to schedule an appointment, you can do so by calling the Health Center (765-285-8431).
Lauren Delorenzo & Mary Freda News Reporters The Ball State Health Center will no longer accept walk-ins for students in need of medical assistance. With the start of the new school year, students are now required to schedule an appointment in order to see a medical provider or nursing staff at the university's clinic.
“This was a student-driven decision, and we are very excited to see it come to fruition," medical director Dr. Deidre Dorman said. "We perform a patient satisfaction survey each semester and for years students have expressed a desire for appointments." Dorman said the previous walk-in model resulted in long wait times for students to be seen by either nursing staff or by a healthcare provider.
In an effort to eliminate the long wait times, health center staff have spent the past year working to implement the transition from walk-in to appointment-based scheduling.
If students wish to be seen by medical staff immediately, health center staff urges students to call early in order to secure an appointment for later that day, and if there are multiple health concerns, there must be multiple appointments to deal with each concern individually.
“In the past, they had us make appointments for vaccines or if you needed physicals and that was nice because you knew when you could go in,” senior Mikalah Gribbell said. “From the administrative side, I think it will help them to be more fluid and have lower wait times, but at the same time I don’t think it’s a good choice to take away the urgent care aspect of the Health Center because that was a nice convenience to have rather than having to find transportation off of campus.” Dorman insisted, however, that the new system will expedite health center visits. The required

appointments prevent students from waiting in the lobby for hours at a time, ensuring that students are able to attend class. Journalism professor Suzy Smith, who recently visited the Health Center, said while staff is treated separately from students, the new system seems to be a better alternative.
“I think the move to an appointment-based system is a great idea. As a faculty member, there’s nothing you hate more than to hear a student or to have a student email you and say, 'I’m sorry I’ve missed class, I’ve been sitting in the Health Center all day waiting to be seen,' and so this way if you’re making an appointment you know when you have classes,” Smith said. "I think it makes it easier for everyone."
Students are asked to arrive to their appointments ten minutes early to complete paperwork. If students arrive ten minutes late or not at all, they will forfeit their time slot and a $25 fee will be charged to the student’s Bursar account.

Students share diverse summer experiences Stephanie Amador Staff Reporter This summer came with an abundance of opportunities for Ball State students. From international internships and mission trips, to the Olympics and vacations, here's how some students spent their break. .... When Leslie Thomas, a senior communications major looked out the window from his airplane seat, a surreal feeling washed over him — he was in Africa. This was the first time Thomas had left the country, and at the first sight of the mountains and landscape structure, he was in awe. The culture in Cape Town, South Africa, is a little different than in America, Thomas said. People were more relaxed, and their daily routines were always done with a purpose. Thomas noticed how people in Africa were much more open to people than Americans. “If you approach a girl (in America), they will think you’re flirting,” Thomas said. "However, when you talk to a girl (in
Africa), they are so excited to meet you, especially if you’re American.” People talk about touchy subjects and are very blunt about everything, Thomas said. Even during casual conversation, they will ask what your religion is or what your values are. This was different for Thomas, because he wasn’t used to talking to strangers about things you would normally just tell your best friend. However, he began to adapt to the way of life in Africa. Thomas learned he should slow down, question himself and think about what he’s doing. He said he realized people are more present and he should be too. “I have all this time — why am I doing this, why do I have to go to the store, why do I have to write down my future events?” he said. …. Madeline Grosh, a junior telecommunications major, was one of more than 50 students who traveled to Brazil for four weeks to report on the Olympics Games. Grosh met a lot of people who were either enthusiastic or concerned about the Olympics. She
“
“I have all this time — why am I doing this, why do I have to go to the store, why do I have to write down my future events?" — Lesli Thomas, senior communications major
also learned about Brazilian history, food and drinks. Grosh was in Sao Paulo for 10 days, then went to Rio de Janeiro for three weeks. “It was incredible,” Grosh said. “I was able to stand in Copacabana Beach, look one way and see Christ the Redeemer, and look the other way and see Sugarloaf (Mountain).” Before traveling to Brazil, many of the students heard horror stories of water pollution, the Zika virus, and crime. But none of those things caused an issue for Grosh. Because it was technically winter in Brazil, mosquitos were not a problem, Grosh said. As for water pollution, it was a matter of finding which oceans were safe to swim in. “You just had to be smart,” Grosh said about crime. “There was higher security in Brazil because of the Olympics.” Getting to interact with
Brazil’s people and culture proved to be an important experience for Grosh. "Meeting the people there, they are so relaxed and well-dressed. Every day matters to them and they just try to see the best of everything,” Grosh said. “I want to live my days like this.” .... Junior speech pathology major Kiersten Delaney was in Virginia Beach for 10 weeks on a mission trip. “I walked towards the beach every day,” Delaney said. While she was there, Delaney got a job at a souvenir shop. She communicated with her coworkers about their values and what they believe in. Getting to know her co-workers and the several international students there helped Delaney gain a new perspective. “I’ve always believed in
a certain thing and to hear what other people believe in, gives me a different perspective,” Delaney said. This mission trip was about communication and learning about other cultures and lifestyle differences. This benefited Delaney because she grew up in a Christian household. Delaney said getting to talk to someone who isn’t a Christian about their values kept her open-minded. During her free time Delaney, would spend her time at the beach — though she feared shark bites and jellyfish stings at first. “I love the view and I can sit in the sand,” Delaney said. “I can touch the water, but only ankle deep.” Delaney faced her fears eight weeks into the trip and was able to spend some time in the middle of the ocean. “I’ve seen too many shark movies," Delaney said. "I hate being in the ocean, but it was one of the top ten highlights of the summer.” ... Cruz Aleman, a senior nutrition and dietetics major, spent two months in Buenos Aires, Argentina, for an internship with the nongovernmental
organization Environment Education. His main focus was to help design a nutrition workshop for children in Buenos Aires — the end result was a community garden bringing in children as young as four. The work environment was very relaxed and employees didn’t get started right away. Rather, they would talk about their life before getting productive. Another cultural shock involved the food and drink. “Coffee was mostly preserved after meals,” Aleman said. “It was really weird — they give you a shot glass and they pour the coffee in like it was water.” People were very blunt in Argentina, Aleman said, and personal space didn't exist. Argentinians embrace each other and don’t spare anyone a cheek kiss. Going on the trip and learning about another culture helped him see the world in a different way and brought a lot of happiness, Aleman said. “I think this got me out of my shell," he said.

Continued from page 1 You might remember some of our recent coverage — stories about the university’s budget, the search for a new president, the efforts to make this a safe and welcoming campus. Your fellow students wrote those stories, took the pictures, designed the graphics, laid out the pages, sold the ads and built a strong website, as well, with video and other multimedia at bsudailynews.com.

2ish
Emma Rogers // DN
Tyson Bird and Emma Rogers Beat Reporters Tyson Bird and Emma Rogers are senior journalism majors who write “Dinner for 2ish” for the Daily News. Their views do not necessarily agree with those of the paper. We started cooking together in the summer of 2015 and have planned and cooked a dinner every week since. Our recipes are often inspired by the New York Times’ cooking website but are adapted to fit Muncie availability and a college budget. Tomatoes are in season and classes are easy (so far) — make your own tomato sauce.
TOMATO SAUCE Estimated cost per serving: $1 INGREDIENTS: • Two cups of diced tomatoes - $2 (look for them at the Farmers Market) • One medium white onion - $1 • Five tablespoons butter - $1 EQUIPMENT NEEDED: • Saucepan, spoon DIRECTIONS: Chop the onion in half and remove the skin. Do not cut off the ends. This will add flavor to the sauce. Place the onion in the pot along with the
butter. Do not turn on the heat. Dice the tomatoes, being careful to keep the liquid contained. You don’t need to cut them too small — larger pieces will make chunkier sauce. Place the tomatoes and their liquid into the pot. Bring to a boil, stirring so the butter melts evenly. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 45 minutes uncovered. Stir occasionally. Add cooked ground beef, chicken or vegetables. This sauce is perfectly good plain, too. Serves four.

New offensive line ready for season Jake Fox Football Beat Reporter
One of last season’s biggest strengths is now one of Ball State football’s biggest question marks. The Cardinals’ offensive line only allowed .92 sacks per game last year, good enough for fifth in the nation, but after losing three starters to graduation and its starting center to an injury in the spring, Ball State has a new look on the front line. It’s a young group compared to what the Cardinals have had over the past few seasons. But first-year offensive line coach Kyle DeVan feels good about what they have in place. “A lot of (the seniors) were big contributors,” said DeVan, who played in the NFL for five seasons. “And when you have that in a position group, especially in the o-line, and you lose that many guys, you don’t really know what’s going to happen. But I know they’re excited.”
DeVan has been rotating players since the spring, but when redshirt freshman Andrew Poenitsch went down with an injury to a lower extremity, he had to get creative. Redshirt junior Vinnie Palazeti started six games at guard last year but has been working as the team’s first-string center in Poenitsch’s absence. DeVan said he isn’t sure when Poenitsch will return. Until then, Palazeti is the man in the middle. The slide over to center has been a different experience, but it’s one he’s taken in stride. “It was a little different at first. I don’t think I’m the most athletically gifted individual,” Palazeti said. “But I’m trying to hit Riley [Neal] in the chest with the ball, so we’ll see how that goes.” Palazeti and Drake Miller are the only returning starters from last year’s unit that featured graduated seniors Jacob Richard, Nick Plavchak and Jalen Schlachter. Miller and Steven Bell, a
fifth-year senior with 29 career starts, are manning the tackle positions this season. The guard spots are Points per game occupied by redshirt junior Pat Maloney and redshirt sophomore Alex Total yards per game Joss, two players who have been in the system and are getting a chance Passing yards per to show their stuff in game game action for the first time this season. “It’s been interesting, Rushing yards per game getting reps with the ones,” Maloney said. “But you just do the best you can in practice, and it will transfer over to the games.” Trust is a big deal on the offensive line — five guys doing their job and performing as one unit. And as a leader on the Cardinals’ line, Palazeti BALL STATE

isn’t worried about the lack of game experience to his left and right. “They’ve almost gone through as many practices and as many camps as I have,” he said. “Besides the 70 to 80 reps in a game, they’ve taken almost as many reps. And I have as much confidence as I could with anybody next to me as I do with them.” DeVan said the goals for the line will change from week to week based on matchups. Whether they rush for 300+ yards or pass block for 50+ plays, he’s prepared to do whatever it takes to win. They may be young, but all he sees is a group of guys ready to play. “The term ‘Neu Era’ has been coined by a lot of people, and it really is,” DeVan said. “The stuff we’re doing is different, but they’ve done a good job buying in. I’m really excited to see the product we put on the field.” Contact Jake Fox with any questions or concerns at @FoxJake_.

With the first week of classes set to conclude, three Ball State athletic teams will compete this weekend. Soccer will play at home against Xavier Friday and Fort Wayne on Sunday. Field hockey opens its season with a pair of games in North Carolina against Appalachian State Friday and Davidson Sunday. Women’s volleyball kicks off its season with three games at the Fort Wayne Invitational beginning Friday. Soccer After being upset in the Mid-American Conference tournament last year by the University of Akron, Ball State has responded the best way it knows how: winning their first two games of the season. “The team chemistry has come together very quickly,” said head coach Craig Roberts. “We have a talented recruiting class along with a seasoned returning squad. I think the two meshing together is cause to a lot of productivity.” Several freshmen have made an immediate impact, including forward Sam Kambol. She scored two goals in the team’s Sunday 4-1 win over Indiana UniversityPurdue Univeristy Indianapolis. Having played two home games before classes started, senior midfielder Chay McNitt said the team is excited that students are back on campus.

“The bigger the crowd the better,” she said. “We like to score goals in front of people — it’s fun.” Friday’s game against Xavier is at 5 p.m. and Sunday’s game against Fort Wayne is at 2 p.m. Both will be held at Briner Sports Complex. Field Hockey Newly appointed field hockey coach Christy Longacre looks to help turn around a program which had a 2-16 record last season. Longacre was a two-time All-American while playing at Old Dominion. She started as an assistant coach at Ball State in 2014 before taking over as head coach in December 2015. First up for the Cardinals is a game against the Appalachian State Mountaineers, a future member of the Mid-American Conference. Ball State has won its past three games against Appalachian State. Game two in the Cardinals’ weekend road trip is against the Davidson Wildcats. Davidson was ranked fourth in this year’s Preseason Coaches’ Poll. The Cardinals, however, beat the Wildcats 4-1 in their last matchup in 2014. Women’s volleyball In Kelli Miller’s debut as head coach, Ball State will be travel an hour north on I-69 for the Fort Wayne Invitational on Friday and Saturday. Miller took over for former coach Steve Shondell, who retired last spring. Miller
said she is excited to see how her team reacts to facing opponents for the first time. “After practicing twice a day, you’re just ready to get out there and play somebody and show where you’ve improved,” Miller said. “Right off the bat, I think it’s important to make a statement and show what your identity is going to be, and I look forward to seeing how we come out on Friday.” The biggest area of focus this offseason for the Cardinals was improvement on defense, she said. “We’ve had a huge emphasis on it all spring and preseason, and we just need to make plays,” Miller said. “When people come out to play, you know Ball State’s going to put up that fight and will get after it point in and point out.” Senior outside hitter Mackenzie Kitchel, who was named to the preseason All-MAC West Division team, has high expectations for her team this season. “I’m very confident in all of our players, and I think that it’s going to be an exciting moment to see everyone hit the ground running once we play these new teams,” she said. The volleyball team will take on Youngstown State at 4 p.m. Friday, followed by Murray State at 10 a.m. and Fort Wayne at 7 p.m. Saturday. Contact Hendrix Magley & Tyler Griffith with any questions or concerns at @dn_sports.
“We lost Abbie Boswell, but, at the same time, we don’t build our team on one individual,” Roberts said. “We build it on a team unit, and I think that the group we’ve had come in for this year will replace that immediately. We’ve already had one individual that’s started to do that as a freshman with Sam Kambol coming in and already scoring two goals.” The new additions have already accounted for four of the seven goals scored this year. Along with those two goals from Kambol, midfielders Monica Padilla and Julia Elvbo have each scored one as well. There is still some experience from last year’s team. Key returners include junior starting goalkeeper Alyssa Heintschel and senior defender Leah Mattingly, who was first-team All-MAC last season. More importantly, said Roberts, they have been working well with the younger players. “We’re delighted the way the team has come together,” Roberts said. “I think the pieces that have come in this year are going to be very instrumental, and they’re meshing very well with the returners. The chemistry is probably the best it has ever been.” The talent of this year’s recruiting class helped convince the other coaches in the MAC that the Cardinals are still the favorites to win the MAC West — after all, they picked Ball State to win the division in the MAC Preseason Coaches’ Poll. Ball State had the most first-place votes of any team in either division, earning 11 of the possible 12 votes. The leading vote-getters in the MAC East were Kent State and Miami, who tied with five first place votes. “We’re very humble about [the prediction],” Roberts said. “Although we’re flattered with the accolade that’s been given to us, it’s something we’re just going to take one game at a time.” Ball State soccer continues its season at 5 p.m. Friday against Xavier at the Briner Sports Complex.
