Field hockey earns second win in shutout

Sept. 6: In Ball State’s home opener Friday, the Cardinals shut out Saint Louis, 3-0. Despite having only played four games in the season, the team has already tied its 2018 win total. Entering the game, Ball State only had three goals on the year.

9/11:

North Carolinians take stock of Dorian damage

THE STORY SINCE Ball State, Muncie community members share views on Afghanistan today Rohith Rao News Editor During one of Ken Holland’s first visits to Afghanistan, his driver offered to take him to see a “historical [sic] site.”

He drove Holland, president emeritus of the American University of Afghanistan and former executive director of the Center for International Development at Ball State, to a British cemetery near Kabul, Afghanistan. There, the bodies of British soldiers who fought in the Anglo-Afghan wars of the 19th century were laid to rest.

“This is what happens to those who try to conquer Afghanistan,” his driver told him.

“This is the rhetoric of the Taliban and other terrorist groups,” Holland said. “They always describe Americans as invaders.”

Eighteen years after the deadly attacks of 9/11 and the subsequent U.S. military involvement in Afghanistan, Iraq and other parts of the Middle East, professionals who’ve previously had an association with the countries shared their thoughts on the region, specifically Afghanistan, and its future.

Experiencing Afghanistan: Holland said he began traveling to Afghanistan in 2006 and worked closely with the U.S. government on matters concerning that country.

From 2009-14, he served as the senior civilian rule-of-law adviser to the NATO mission.

Like Holland, Lt. Col. Mark

03

South, professor of military science, also has extensive knowledge of the Middle East. South served with the U.S. military in Mosul, Iraq, in 2008 and Tarinkot, Afghanistan, in 2012.

South worked securing access control to the base in Iraq, screening civilians who came to work at the base and giving them appropriate credentials to do so.

“I was well received. Everyone wanted to be my friend,” South said.

“My impression was that, generally speaking, as long as we didn’t mistreat the Iraqi people, they [were] OK with us.”

Afghanistan, he said, was similar in that respect, but the country itself was “wildly different” from Iraq, particularly due to the presence of warring ethnic groups with ageold rivalries, the existence of “very informal” courts, the governance system and high illiteracy among its population.

After high waters drew back Saturday, North Carolinians took a measure of the damage done by Hurricane Dorian. “We just thought it was going to be a normal blow,” said Steve Harris, a resident of Ocracoke Island. “But the damage is going to be severe this time. This is flooding of biblical proportions.”

Administration

Board of Trustees discusses benefits The Ball State Board of Trustees held a meeting Aug. 30 in Cardinal Hall B in the L.A. Pittenger Student Center. The board heard from Alan Finn, the new vice president for business affairs and treasurer, who discussed removing retiree health and dental insurance for new Ball State employees.

SGA

Problems in Afghanistan today: South believes the U.S. almost “helped create this problem” in Afghanistan in the 1980s by training the Afghans who fought against the Soviets.

“One of the problems [in Afghanistan] is they’ve been at war for 40, 50 years. We’re just another 18-year period in a long line of conflict,” he said. “Post-traumatic stress disorder is a thing for Afghan civilians. Nobody should have to live like that.”

9/11

Continued from Page 03 Holland said Americans today are “much less willing” to militarily support foreign intervention and are “cynical” about its capacity to make a difference in countries that have deep-seated political and social problems due to the lives lost and the amount of money spent during the two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

While acknowledging the U.S. military was capable of defeating any armed group in a battle, Holland said the problem arises when dealing with “a failed state,” or one that was “destroyed in an invasion.”

“When you have that situation on your hands, we don’t have the patience, you know, to actually rebuild a country,” he said. “In fact, 18 years is a short period of time when it comes to building a country from scratch, which is what we’ve had to do in Afghanistan.”

The positives: Apart from those issues, over his years in Afghanistan, Holland said he has seen “great progress” and “significant changes.”

One important change he mentioned was the education of girls and women, with them being able to attend schools and universities since 2002 — something women were not allowed to do during the Taliban’s rule.

Another change, he said, was the attitude of young people.

“We now have a new generation of men and women, and they do not have any sympathy whatsoever for Islamic fundamentalism, or for the Taliban in particular, or any extremist group,” Holland said.

South, too, said he was left with positive impressions during his time in the Middle East. He said he met “some incredible people,” and he sees the world “a lot differently.”

One thing South said he found interesting during his time in Iraq was its culture and “the sense of time,” giving examples of Mosul, which was built on the ruins of Nineveh where the grave of Prophet Jonah is situated in the middle of the city, and the ruins of Babel are outside Baghdad.

“Things that you learn about in Sunday school … there’s a real place,” he said. “It’s not just a picture in a book.”

The future: Despite positive feelings toward Afghanistan and Iraq, both men understand the future for the two countries is anything but well defined at this point.

South said he advises new recruits being deployed in foreign countries like Afghanistan and Iraq that any place could be considered dangerous.

“You could go out every day for six months and not get hit, or you can go out once in nine months and get hit. It just depends,” he said.

For his part, Holland said the future of

5 common Family Weekend questions Ball State’s annual Family Weekend is a time for Cardinals to show off their nest away from home to family and friends. With a packed schedule of events and opportunities, it can be easy to get a little lost in all the excitement.

The Daily News sat down with Travis Peters, associate director of the L.A. Pittenger Student Center, to get answers to the most common questions visiting families have during Family Weekend.

1. What are the most common costs?

Having your family come down and visit can be a lot of fun, but you do want to make sure you’re not over spending. Most things, like dining, will have the costs laid out in the

schedule made for the weekend. Most events are free, except for Late Nite in the Animal Kingdom, which is $5 for non-Ball State students, and the golf outing.

2. Where to park?

When visiting a place you aren’t familiar with, parking can be a challenge. Every weekend at Ball State, there is free parking from 7 p.m. Friday until 9 p.m. Sunday in most parking lots. However, because there is a home football game this weekend, the stadium parking lot will be cleared for the game.

Travis said, “We encourage folks to use the garages or

locate parking spots that are free around the activities that they’re attending.”

3. Where to sleep?

As of now, the 24-room hotel in the L.A. Pittenger Student Center is booked, but there are plenty of other places to stay off campus. However, Travis said, most of the places around Ball State are probably close to full as well. When it comes to going anywhere and staying at a hotel, it is usually a good idea to make reservations in advance.

4. Events

While you’re visiting Ball State there will be plenty of things to do the entire weekend. From

the children’s fair to a Bell Tower Recital and Job Fair, campus will be buzzing with activity. The Recreation Center will also be open and inside there are basketball courts, soccer fields, exercise equipment and the rock wall.

5. How do I get important information?

The Division of Student Affairs will be visitors’ go-to for any questions throughout the weekend.

While resources such as a schedule have been published online, representatives will also be stationed in a tent at the scramble light from 9 a.m. to midnight Saturday.

Two months out from tipoff, Ball State Men’s Basketball has released its full schedule for the 2019-20 season. The current 30-game schedule has the Cardinals traveling to Hawaii, Georgia and just south of Muncie to Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.

Here’s a breakdown of the Cardinals’ schedule for this upcoming season:

Two months until their first contest, Ball State Women’s Basketball has announced its schedule for the 2019-20 campaign.

The Cardinals will get a chance at two different non-conference tournaments that will take them to the Bahamas and New Mexico.

Here’s a month-by-month breakdown of Ball State’s nonconference schedule for the 2019-20 season:

November

The Cardinals finished the 2018-19 season with a 2-11 record on the road. They will tip off the season with three consecutive road games but will stay in state for the first two against IUPUI (Nov. 5) and Purdue Fort Wayne (Nov. 12). The last time the Cardinals played either of these teams was during the 2013-14 season when they defeated the Mastodons, 83-75. Ball State will finish its road trip in Cincinnati, taking on the Bearcats, whom they beat last season, 75-63, for the first time since the 1995-96 season.

The Cardinals finished last season with a record of 6-10 on their home floor. Ball State will be in action in Worthen Arena for the first time Nov. 20, as it takes on Xavier for the first time since Ball State beat the Musketeers 13 years ago, 69-65. On Nov. 23, instate foe Butler will head to Muncie to take on Ball State.

Ball State opens up the 2019-20 campaign against Division III Defiance College. The Yellow Jackets’ last game against a Division I opponent was Nov. 19, 2018, with Oakland out of the Horizon League where the Grizzlies rolled Defiance, 91-47.

From Nov. 9 to the end of the month, Ball State only leaves the state once, in a road game against Illinois-Chicago Nov. 13.

On Nov. 9, the Cardinals face Evansville for the third time in two seasons. During their last meeting, a 52-point second half saw the Aces mount a comeback to win in Evansville, 89-77.

Ball State then heads north to the west side of Chicago to take on the Flames of UIC. Over the past five seasons, the Cardinals have only played one other Horizon League opponent in IUPUI.

Tounalom, Moritz lead Cardinals to 3rd place In the first tournament of the fall season, Ball State Women’s Golf placed third overall thanks to two top-10 individual finishes Monday.

Senior Manon Tounalom finished tied for third individually with a three-round score of 217. The second-best scorer for the Cardinals was sophomore Hadley Moritz who finished with a score of 220.

Women’s Volleyball

Cardinals go 2-1 in Gonzaga Tournament Ball State started its weekend with a pair of wins, taking down Grand Canyon 3-2 and Montana 3-0. The Cardinals capped off the tournament with a three-set loss to Gonzaga. The team will be back in action Friday in the Northern Kentucky Tournament.

Alongside football, men’s basketball will also play in a notable Indianapolis venue. On Nov. 17, Ball State will play Indiana State at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, home of the Indiana Pacers. The Cardinals hold a slim 3-2 series advantage over the Sycamores over the past five seasons. Ball State defeated Indiana State in an early-season game last year in Muncie, 86-69.

The Cardinals wrap up the month with a three-game homestand against Northern Kentucky (Nov. 20), Western Illinois (Nov. 23) and Howard (Nov. 26).

The Cardinals have not seen Northern Kentucky over the past five seasons, but they are familiar with the squad as former Ball State guard Tayler Persons was recruited out of Northern Kentucky. The Norse are coming off a strong season, winning the Horizon League and clinching a birth in the NCAA Tournament.

The Norse were eliminated in the first round by eventual national runner-up Texas Tech, 72-57.

Ball State has also not seen Western Illinois over the past five seasons, but the Leathernecks have played a handful of Mid-American Conference competitors.

Most recently, Western Illinois fell to Northern Illinois, 91-76. Last season, the Cardinals rolled through Howard over winter break, 98-71, Dec. 20, in Muncie.

December Ball State’s homestand continues into December as the team opens up the month with a pair of games against Loyola Chicago (Dec. 3) and IUPUI (Dec. 7). Last season, Ball State traveled to both schools

and collected wins, defeating the Jaguars, 85-75, and downing the Ramblers, 75-69. Over the past five seasons, the Cardinals have held a 3-2 win advantage over IUPUI. Finishing out the rest of the non-conference schedule, Ball State will take on Georgia Tech in Atlanta (Dec. 18) before heading to Hawaii for the Diamond Head Classic (Dec. 22-25) where the Cardinals are scheduled to play Washington and either UTEP or Hawaii.

The Yellow Jackets have had experience with preChristmas upsets as last season Gardner-Webb pulled off a 79-69 win over Georgia Tech. Ball State’s arrival to McCamish Pavilion will come a day before the year anniversary of the upset.

The last time the Cardinals flocked to Hawaii, the team pulled off memorable upsets over Kansas and UCLA to kick off the 2001-02 season. Ball State is slated to open up against PAC 12 runner-up Washington. Last season, the Huskies also made it to the first round of the NCAA Tournament before losing to North Carolina, 81-59.

Scouting out UTEP and Hawaii, both teams bring something different to the floor. The Miners are coming off an eight-win season, ending with back-to-back losses to Middle Tennessee. The Rainbow Warriors finished with a similar record to Ball State last season at 18-13. Hawaii went 2-1 last season in the Diamond Head Tournament.

Loud and Clear

Never forget my Iraqi family The Middle East suffered more in a post-9/11 world than the United States ever did.

Elena Stidham is a senior journalism and telecommunications major and writes “Loud and Clear” for The Daily News. Her views do not necessarily agree with those of the newspaper.

Elena Write to Elena Stidham at emstidham@ Columnist, bsu.edu.

“Loud and 9/11 was a Clear” day everyone remembers in detail; where they were, who they were with and what they were doing.

Nobody ever asks me where I was the first time someone called me a terrorist.

I was in preschool, about 4 years old, when I asked a boy to play a game with me. He gave me a look, one I would later learn was full of conflicted terror. He wanted to play with me, he thought it would be fun, but there was something holding him back.

As I got older, I learned it was family-taught racism.

“My mom said that your mom is a terrorist. I can’t play with you because she said you might

be a terrorist, too,” he said.

Terrorist. That was a new word, I’d never heard of it before. How exciting! I’m learning something new!

I asked him what it meant, but he just shrugged, shook his head and left me to play by myself.

“That’s weird,” I remember thinking. “Why wouldn’t he want to play with me?”

I thought about the word “terrorist” for a moment. It didn’t sound good. I mean, it has “terror” in its name. Surely, then, my mom was just called something bad, and I was lumped in with that.

What did we do to upset people?

Nothing. We did absolutely nothing, nothing at all.

Every year, I’m asked where I was or if I even remember the 9/11 attacks. I was 2 years old, of course I don’t remember. I hardly have any memories of even being alive in my single digits. Yet, this experience as a 4 year old is seared into my brain for the rest of my life.

Nobody ever asked me how 9/11 affected me. Nobody ever cared to know.

Instead, every year we mourn a tragedy that divided people as much as it united them. I remember just a few weeks ago on Facebook someone posted

Elena’s mother is from Iraq and during 9/11 she reflects on how her family is affected by it even years later. JACOB MUSSELMAN DN

Deaths directly related to war in Iraq (March 2003 - Oct. 2018)

34,806 Opposition Fighters Other (645)* 4,550 U.S. Military 3,793 U.S. Contractors 182,272 Civilians

41,726 National Military and Police

*“Other” includes U.S. DOD Civilian Casualties, Other Allied Troops, Journalists/Media Workers and Humanitarian/NGO Workers.

something along the lines of, “I miss how America was the day after 9/11. American flags were everywhere, we would hug each other and we were all united. Nobody cared about who you were, because we were all Americans.”

As nice as it sounded, I could only roll my eyes. It was wrong. Completely and undeniably wrong.

Everybody except Middle Easterners were considered Americans on Sept. 12, 2001.

Everybody who wasn’t Muslim was an American. Everybody who spoke Arabic or Aramaic or any other language found in the Middle East was not welcome in this post-tragedy America.

We were not wanted. We were not liked. We were not seen as Americans even though

nearly every person in my family was born here.

Even now, 18 years later, my family and I still feel the repercussions from an act we did not commit.

People still scream and cuss at my grandmother, who I call “Nana,” as they drive by while we quietly walk to Kroger.

My mother was denied her American citizenship numerous times because she was only in her birthplace for two months.

My 15-year-old and 16-yearold sisters are still called terrorists by their classmates.

My 12-year-old brother is still the target of bullying nearly every single day by people who hate our family because of the location on my mother’s birth certificate.

Miles from Muncie Muncie Origins

THE DAILY GRIND With loud music playing and milk steaming, The Cup continues to make noise in The Village.

Pauleina Brunnemer Reporter

A worker at The Cup is making shots of espresso for a customer’s drink Sept. 8, 2019. The Cup has offered drinks such as smoothies, teas, coffees and more since 2012. JACOB MUSSELMAN, DN

Editor’s note: Muncie Origins is a Ball State Daily News series profiling various businesses that originated in Muncie.

At The Cup, the smell of roasting coffee beans wafts through the roastery, lounging area and into the tattoo shop upstairs.

As customers order their drinks at the counter, senior hospitality and tourism major Grace Dehaven is one employee who offers a welcoming smile that adds to the warm atmosphere. “[The Cup has] developed quite a consistent group of people that I see every day,” Dehaven said. “Some people, they get the same exact thing every single day. They walk in, and I’m like, ‘Same thing?’ and they’re like, ‘Yup.’ So, it’s cool. It’s nice to develop friendships with people that I would have never even met or seen or talked to otherwise.”

The Cup’s owner, Martin George, said he opened the coffee shop when he saw a need for one in The Village.

Before what current students know as The Cup took shape, there was a different coffee house occupying 1606 W. University Ave. It sat closed for three months, leaving Starbucks as the only coffee option for Muncie residents.

“There’s been a coffee house in the building, either upstairs or downstairs, since the ’70s,” George said. “I think people encounter kind of a program to almost come to this spot to get coffee because people have been doing it for so long.”

Keeping the same name for sandwiches and drinks from the previous owner, George said The Cup has provided a sense of continuity for some customers.

“There are people who walk in here who went to school [at Ball State] in the mid ’90s,” George said. “They’ll look at it [and] go, ‘This place hasn’t changed at all.”

CUP

Continued from Page 19 Bringing an “old fashioned” feel to its customers, George said coffee houses like The Cup are a staple to college campuses like Ball State, but they may be a “dying art.”

“I don’t think a lot of people understand it anymore,” George said. “[The Cup used to be] the place where people hang out, connect with each other [and] actually talked.”

Despite people using coffee shops to charge their laptops instead of a place to socialize, Dehaven said she’s seen a lot of traffic during her two years as an employee at The Cup.

There are people who walk in here who went to school [at Ball State] in the mid ’90s,” George said. “They’ll look at it [and] go, ‘This place hasn’t changed at all.”

THE CUP’S CREATIONS

The Cup in The Village is well-known for its coffee. Here’s a few of the most popular drinks:

- MARTIN GEORGE, The Cup’s owner “This past weekend was pretty crazy,” Dehaven said.

“It was busiest shift I’ve ever worked this weekend. I had a line out the door for the entire eight hours that I was there. It was a lot, but it’s fun because it’s so fast paced, and you don’t have a lot of downtime to just be bored, so it’s cool.”

George said at coffee shops like Starbucks, customers grab their drinks and leave, but with large booths, tables and a long bench along its wall, The Cup’s atmosphere invites customers to stay for a while.

Since April 2012, The Cup has also features patio furniture outside for students to sit and chat over coffee, tea and kombucha.

“If you want a place that’s a college hang-out, a place to study, a place to meet people and a place to interact with other people from the community and campus,” George said, “[The Cup] is a good place to do it.”

FAMILY Continued from Page 17

I am still stopped at every single “random selection” in airports and amusement parks.

Notice that I haven’t once mentioned anyone outside my family name, these are just cases of hate against my family.

This isn’t including the attacks and the terrors other families like mine have had to face every single day since 9/11.

In 2001 alone, FBI data showed that hate crimes skyrocketed from 28 to 481 incidents against Muslims alone. Other religions also fell victim to these crimes, but nowhere near the 1,618 percent increase.

This data does not include non-Muslim Middle Easterners or undocumented reports.

These statistics show only documented cases for hate crimes against Muslims.

Let’s talk about death rates, too. During 9/11, an estimated 3,000 people died. Yes, it’s tragic, it’s horrific and nobody deserved to die that day.

However, where was this same outrage for the estimated half a million people killed in the war on terror in the Middle East? These military and civilian deaths resulted from the U.S. led coalition actions.

These were deaths in active warzones alone.

How does that not make you sick to your stomach?

U.S. involvement affected my family not only through 9/11, but through our heritage as Chaldeans — Catholics located in Mesopotamia, now Iraq.

Our people are one of the oldest groups of people on the planet, but now there are only about half a million Chaldeans left in the world.

A majority of them now live in the U.S. — specifically Michigan — rather than Iraq.

I remember listening to my Nana tell stories about fleeing to Greece at 17 with two children before moving to Detroit with them once they were sure they were safe two years later. I remember her telling me this is the first time this has ever happened in our culture’s history.

The World Trade Center towers before the 2001 attack. TNS, PHOTO COURTESY Iraq with a genocide bearing a simple, yet earth-shattering message to Chaldeans: convert or die.

The ability for terrorist groups to take over comes from the U.S. led coalition invasion of Iraq, pushing the first domino over in capturing Saddam Hussein, leading to his trials and later his execution.

This opened the door for tyranny and genocide to control the country.

Nobody talks about this every 9/11. Nobody cares.

Every year America throws the same exact pity party with the same exact footage and the same exact questions with the same exact results.

When people ask me if I remember anything about 9/11, and I tell them every single thing I’ve faced as a result of it.

I tell them every word anyone has ever spat at my family. I tell them how we became one of the most hated groups in the

entire world overnight.

People scoff. People tell me to have respect. People tell me I need to care.

I do care. I’ve had no choice but to care. For the past 18 years I’ve had to listen to the same hate-fueled patriotism from nearly every single person each September like clockwork.

I was forced to grin, bear it and respect everybody that commented on how the United States just needs to go to the Middle East and “kill them all.”

I’m tired. I’m so absolutely tired. I don’t want to care anymore. I don’t want to respect.

Because not a single person bothers to care and respect my family when September rolls around.

Nobody ever asks if we’re “OK.” Nobody ever cares to know what happened to us after the attacks.

Nobody seems to remember Sept. 12, 2001, the day we became symbols of terror.
