Ryan Flanery Men's Basketball Reporter Junior guard Jeremie Tyler is back with his teammates and helping Ball State men’s basketball win games. Tyler was suspended for the first 10 games of the season for a violation of team rules, and department policy meant he couldn't be around the team. “I missed being with the team,” Tyler said. “The feeling to be back and around the guys just feels good to me.” That didn't mean he couldn't go to the gym, though, so he would shoot 500 times five mornings each week. He also worked on basketball drills and lifted four days out of the week. Since returning, Tyler has averaged 8.9 points in 19.6 minutes per game. “I knew it was going to take me awhile to adjust to the speed of the game,” Tyler said. “As games went on, I felt a lot smoother, but I still have a long way to go.”

EDITED BY RICH NORRIS AND JOYCE LEWIS
More tornadoes ahead as death toll reaches 16 in southeast US The Associated Press ADEL, Georgia (AP) — Deadly weather in the Southeast killed 16 people and injured dozens more, authorities said Sunday, as residents along the Georgia-Florida line braced for more intense, fast-moving storms — including unusually strong “long track” twisters. On Sunday, an apparent tornado blew through a mobile home park in rural Cook County in southern Georgia — sheering off siding, upending homes and killing seven people, local officials said. An eighth death was reported in Cook County by state officials, although it was unclear whether that victim lived in the park. Coroner Tim Purvis said the tornado “leveled” the park before dawn Sunday and that emergency responders searched for survivors for hours after the twister struck. Purvis said the park had about 40 mobile homes, and roughly half were destroyed. The area was cordoned off by police. Not far from the mobile home park, 19-year-old Jenny Bullard wore a sling on her injured arm as she combed through the rubble of her family’s brick house. All that remained standing Sunday afternoon was the master bedroom and parts of the kitchen. “It’s a horrible tragedy,” Bullard said. “But all this stuff can be replaced. We can’t replace each other. We’re extremely lucky.” Bullard said she awoke before dawn Sunday to the sound of hail pounding the roof. When she went outside her bedroom door, she was knocked down by a collapsing wall in the hallway. She managed to get up and found her father calling for her,

trapped under a pile of debris. She pulled him free, and they found her mother in the master bedroom. They escaped by climbing over piles of furniture and debris where the wall to their home office once stood. President Donald Trump said Sunday he had spoken with Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal and “expressed our sincere condolences for the lives taken.” “Tornadoes were vicious and powerful and strong, and they suffered greatly,” Trump said during a White House ceremony where he was swearing in aides. “So we’ll be helping out the state of Georgia.” Several homes appeared to be destroyed along on a road within about 2 miles of the mobile home park, with cinderblocks scattered on the ground, and pine trees uprooted and snapped in half. The tops of broken utility poles lay alongside the road. The South Georgia Motorsports Park in Cecil was heavy damaged; a grandstand was ripped apart. Barrels, signs, insulation and garbage were strewn over the speedway and parking lot. Georgia’s governor declared a state of emergency in seven southern Georgia counties, freeing up state resources to assist with recovery efforts. “Our thoughts and prayers are with Georgians suffering from the storm’s impact,” Deal said in a statement. In addition to eight deaths in Cook County, four people were killed in adjoining counties Sunday. Another four people were killed in Mississippi by a tornado on Saturday, bringing the weekend death toll to 16.

Hundreds of thousands of women, men, children, transgender and gender non-conforming people from all around the United States gathered in our nation’s capital for the Women’s March on Washington. I was one of those people. On Saturday, all these people gathered to stand up for a vast array of beliefs — united together.
8:30 A.M. The morning was foggy as I joined a crowd of tired but chipper pink-clad people piling off trains at Union Station. Though it was early in the morning, an air of excitement settled as we shuffled through the station, stopping at small shops to stock up on water bottles, complimenting each other’s signs and making conversation with strangers. The crowd filtered out of the station and many stopped to buy commemorative T-shirts, hats and American flags. We walked past the Capitol, halting for the too-good-to-pass-up photo opportunity before joining
an already large crowd that had begun to gather at Third Street and Independence Avenue. The crowd had already grown so large that it took up the entire block, and it took some wiggling to settle for a spot on Fourth Street. 10 A.M. The rally opened with America Ferrera, who spoke of strength and resilience. “The president is not America. His cabinet is not America. Congress is not America,” she said. “We are America and we are here to stay.” Cheers from the crowd roared so loudly that an echo could be heard once the initial screams subsided. The rally continued for about five more hours, with appearances from Gloria Steinem, Ashley Judd, Janelle Monae, Michael Moore, Alicia Keys, Scarlett Johansson and Kamala Harris, along with so many more. While just about every cause you could think of was represented, most of the messages were the same. We are unhappy with the state of our country. We are devastated and angrily
fueled by the injustices that women and minorities face every day, and we are not going to quietly accept things the way they are. The rally ended with a performance by Madonna. She led the crowd in a chant of “We choose love,” before starting with her song, "Express Yourself." “Don’t go for second best, baby / Put your love to the test,” she sang to a crowd that joined her, most knowing the words by heart.
3 P.M. By the time Madonna was done performing, people had started to get antsy. We’d been standing for five or more hours and were ready to march. The crowd, which we’d been told spanned from Third Street all the way to 17th Street, began to move as if it were one unit, signs held high. One group yelled, “Show me what democracy looks like,” to which the rest of us called, “this is what democracy looks like!” Songs like “Lean on Me,” “I Will Survive,” and “America the Beautiful,” rang through the packed streets.
I’ve heard a lot of people ask "what is this march supposed to accomplish?" and I have an answer to that. In a country divided by hate and apathy for our fellow Americans, this march and all the sister marches around the world (yes, 17 other countries also participated) was a step toward unity. It was a promise to ourselves, each other and our government that just because the election is over, the fight for equality is not. It starts — but does not end — with a march. It continues with petitions and lobbies and calling local and state representatives of the House and Senate. The Women’s March on Washington wasn’t perfect. It was tiring, there were logistic issues and by the time it was over, my entire body was sore. But it was also amazing, inclusive and inspiring. While we marched on the streets of our nation’s capital, we talked together; we laughed together, chanted together. And while most were strangers from all different walks of life, we marched forward on common ground, together.

Marchers took to the streets, demonstrating that when it comes to women’s rights, they will not spend the next four years being silent. “Now is a really important time to speak up,” said Adrian Lopez, a sophomore architecture major who drove to D.C. for the demonstration. Lopez, along with sophomore social sustainability major Josie Bowman, said they felt drawn to make the trip due to their concerns for the future under a Trump administration. “I feel as if my rights as a woman are being challenged,” Bowman said. “I’ve seen Mike Pence speak at the statehouse, and how he wants to defund Planned Parenthood.” Pence has signed-on to every antiabortion bill since he came into office, including a bill to remove federal funding for Planned Parenthood. Bowman is concerned that the organization, which provides sexual and reproductive health care, education and information to nearly 5 million men, women and adolescents per year, is under threat with the Trump Administration. This concern has also grown for many Ball State students involved in Feminists For Action, including Shelby Leveritt, a junior social work and womens and gender studies major and public relations manager for Ball State’s Feminists For Action. “[Trump] is denying reproductive justice,” Leveritt said. “And reproductive justice isn’t just about abortion. Reproductive justice is our cancer screenings, and mammograms, and counseling for pregnant women, and Planned Parenthood is such a big part of that.” Approximately 600 similar demonstrations took place around the country on Saturday in an attempt to unify people around issues of women’s rights, immigration and civil rights, according to Women’s March organizers. Leveritt said that as a social work major, it was important that she made her voice heard in the nations capital for those who might not be able to do so. “A lot of the stuff that [Trump’s] said about people with disabilities, people of color, immigration... all of those things negatively impact clients that I will work with in my future. If I don’t step up and help them now, how will I help them later?” Leveritt said. “It’s so important that we gather together and demonstrate that we are negatively affected by this administration. People will ignore it if they can’t see it. If we make ourselves known in a way that’s peaceful, people are going to be more likely to listen to us. Then we’ll be more able to make a change.” Contact Lauren DeLorenzo with any questions or concerns at ledelorenzo@bsu.edu.
About 7,500 people were invited on Facebook to attend the Indianapolis march, and Indiana State Police estimated 4,500 to 5,000 people attended the day’s event. Instead of an actual march in Indianapolis, a rally was held outdoors. Many supporters held signs — some reading “Smash the Patriarchy” and “No Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA” from the National Organization for Women. Students and faculty from Ball State also attended the march. Joyce Huff, an associate professor of English, said she attended because she wants to bring hope back to campus from the march. “I wanted to feel hope again, and it pretty much did that,” Huff said. “For the past eight years, I felt like we had been making progress as a nation towards greater inclusivity, and I see that threatened already by a White House that, the day of Trump’s inauguration, took down the civil rights website and also took down the climate change website, which bothers me as well.” Huff said she was also pleased by how simple it was for attendees to take action after the march. Different local chapters of social activist groups set up tables and provided sign-up sheets for potential new members. Speech makers also encouraged those in attendance to call their elected government officials. “One of the things that gives me a lot of hope is as we leave the rally, there’s all these tables where people can sign up to do some concrete political action,” Huff said. “Petitions and protests are one thing, but what really makes a difference is calling and letting your representatives

know how to represent you.” A member of Indy 10, a Black Lives Matter branch, attended the march under the alias Rekia Boyd. “We give the names of those slain by police brutality so we keep the focus on them. It forces people to say their names, especially the names of black women who are oftentimes forgotten in this movement,” Boyd said. Boyd said it was important to incorporate the Black Lives Matter movement into the Women’s March to stand in solidarity with other minority groups present and for racial representation, which she felt was lacking at the event. “I wanted to show a face for women of color. I knew that it was going to be mostly white people out here and I figured it wouldn’t be intersectional,” Boyd said. “I figured they wouldn’t really highlight women of color the way they should.” Isaac Spillman, a sophomore telecommunications major, felt the need to stand in solidarity with women, as well.
“I came out today because I feel really strongly about the women’s rights movement and all the other movements that are intersectional with women’s rights that are represented here today,” Spillman said. “I have lots of friends who are going to be negatively affected by the incoming administration.” Jessica Pettengill, a second-year graduate student in the emerging media design and development program, also realized the importance of support and also made her way to Indianapolis for the day. “To me, the most important part is being an ally for individuals. Being a middle-class white woman, I am very privileged in my life, and my main plan for being here was to show that I’m an ally for those people and to support those that are going to be affected by the policies that could possibly be instated,” Pettengill said. “As far as emotions go, it was very inspiring being here and being around all the people who have spent their lives working to protect women’s rights.” Contact Sara Barker with any questions or concerns at slbarker3@bsu.edu.
Restaurant hosts Russian-themed dinner Bistro went 'out on a limb' for Inauguration Day meal Patrick Calvert Political Reporter Russia’s presence was felt in Muncie on Inauguration Day, and luckily it wasn’t in the form of a shirtless Vladimir Putin on horseback. Vera Mae’s Bistro, a restaurant located in downtown Muncie, hosted a Russianthemed dinner that featured smoked salmon, borscht, beef stroganoff, bird’s milk cake and a selection of cocktails. Kent Shuff, one of the owners of the restaurant and a Ball State alumnus, chose to have a Russian-themed dinner after hearing about ties between Russia and President Donald Trump. “We definitely went out on a limb in [having a Russian dinner, and we were] fully expecting a little bit of backlash, which we have received,” Shuff said. Shuff has received a couple calls from people who were unhappy about the dinner. “One was a gentleman criticizing us for basically telling him how he should vote, to which we explained, ‘I’m sorry, we are just doing an evening of Russian cuisine, we are not making anyone vote for anyone,’” he said. In the past, the bistro has had international nights where the restaurant serves food from all over the world. Some of these include French, Italian and Chinese food. Shuff also said that the majority of people have taken the Russian theme in a lighthearted way. “Our personal affiliation is certainly left of center. Now, that does not mean that we certainly don’t support people on the right as well,” Shuff said. “Never in my life have I ever voted a straight ticket.” Kathryn Samuelson, a former professor at Ball State who used to teach Russian,
attended the event in a traditional Russian dress. “For some reason, I have always loved Russia and things Russian, and to see this happening in Muncie, I wanted to support it and enjoy Russian food,” she said. Samuelson has visited Russia several times in her life and shared what she believes is some common ground between the American and the Russian people. “They want the same things we want,” she said. “They want a house, they want a safe life, they want health care, and above us both there are these fights going on and we would rather just live in peace and harmony.” She described Putin as “extremely intelligent” and “extremely dangerous” due to his time in the KGB, which was a state security entity for the Soviet Union before being dissolved in 1991. She is worried about the associations between Trump and Putin and believes the president doesn’t know what he is getting into. “He is like a sheep being led to the slaughter, and the slaughter being Vladimir Putin, who is much smarter and has a KGB background,” Samuelson said. Alba Rosenman, a Muncie resident who has Russian ancestry, enjoyed the satire behind the theme of the dinner. “I thought it was very humorous that they decided to do this,” she said. Growing up Rosenman ate Russian food frequently and said she had a good time comparing the bistro’s food with the tastes from her childhood. She is personally not happy with the election, and said, “I would rather not have [Trump] as president.” Rosenman described Trump as insane, narcissistic and childlike. She is fearful of “the whole nuclear thing” and is worried the LGBT community, people of color and prisoners will be treated unjustly.

William Walker, a junior political science major and Kathryn Samuelson, a former professor at Ball State who used to teach Russian, attend the Russian dinner Friday at Vera Mae’s Bistro. Kent Shuff, one of the owners, decided to have this dinner on Inauguration Day after hearing about the ties between Russia and President Donald Trump.
“I don’t know what to do,” she said. “I don’t know how to wake up in the morning.” Jonathan Becker, a theatre professor at Ball Sate, felt like the dinner provided a joyful atmosphere for those who were struggling about what to expect in the future. “As a gay man, I’m certainly and incredibly concerned with the supermajority of a Republican president and Congress because I don’t belong in their world,” he said. Becker described himself as someone who values kindness, inclusion and tolerance, and he doesn’t believe the Trump administration has the same values. “I might be wrong, but on the surface I don’t see it,” he said.

Mattie Coleman owns the Towne Boutique located on South Walnut Street. Coleman hopes to appeal more to Ball State students by offering a 20 percent discount with a student ID.
Mattie Coleman is known as the “hat lady.” Coleman did not always aspire to own a boutique but she had a passion and a talent for sewing, so she began her business by sewing for a man at her church.
“I moved here with five kids and a sewing machine,” Coleman said. Coleman got her start sewing by making baby clothes. “The first garment that I did was a pile of baby clothes; my mother and father came home out of the field, and I was nursing and when they got home, I had cut up a sheet and made a big pile of baby clothes and I thought they were going to love me for it, but I got a good spanking for cutting up the sheets.” Coleman did not stop there because she knew she had a natural talent for sewing. When she was younger, her father said something that has resonated with her throughout her life. “Mattie, you are going to make a living with your hands,” he told her. She got started when she sewed for a man at her church. “I made this young man’s suit. Once he went out, everyone had seen the suit that I had made for him, everybody wanted a suit. That’s how I got started.” Coleman gave a word of advice to any person wanting to go into business in the future.
“Get in church or get in some group if you're thinking about business, and let your business come from people that you have worked with before and they will pass the word on,” Coleman said. Coleman did not always aspire to own a boutique but she had a passion and a talent for sewing, so she followed through with that to get her to the place she is today. “It's something I’ve always loved to do, and I feel if you love to do something, why not make a business of it?” Coleman said. She has used her talents to appeal to those of her church. “My missionary from my church got me in business, once the church people learned what I was doing, I got involved with the choir and my business’s name just started floating and started expanding,” she said. Coleman hopes to appeal more to Ball State students by offering a 20 percent discount with a student ID. She also hopes to get involved with the Black Student Association on campus so they can work together on her April Black History Luncheon and fashion show.

Cornerstone offers Monthly Dance Club for all-level dancers Emily Sabens Community Reporter
Elegant ballroom styles, playful tango, lively swing dancing — these are just a few of the dances you can learn if you become a part of Cornerstone Center for the Arts’ Monthly Dance Club. The Monthly Dance Club allows community members to meet up one Saturday evening a month to have fun with friends, or even create new friendships, while also improving their dance skills. The idea for the club was first brought up by one of Cornerstone’s own, David Fennig. Fennig has taught various dance classes at Cornerstone for the past three years. He also owns his own dance studio in Portland, Indiana. The idea for the dance club came to Fennig after he realized he wanted a place where his students, as well as other community members, could come together and enjoy a fun evening of dancing. Members of the club learn various styles of dances, including ballroom, tango, swing, salsa, rumba and the hustle. During a typical evening of the Monthly Dance Club, Fennig will spend the first hour providing instruction to dancers and teaching them a particular type of dance; after
that, he plays a variety of music that corresponds to different dance styles. Dancers are encouraged to get on the floor, dance to the rhythm and have fun. Fennig’s only request is that throughout the evening, dancers switch up partners so that they can meet their fellow dancers and possibly even make new friends. “This community is so warm and welcoming, [and] I want everyone to get a chance to meet each other,” he said. Everyone is welcome to join the club, even if they don't consider themselves as superb dancers. In fact, the styles of dance that are taught in the club are chosen partially because they are beginner-friendly. “[The club] is a fun way to introduce a new group of people to dance or to offer a place for experienced dancers to enjoy their Saturday evening,” said Jessie Fisher, Cornerstone’s Education and Marketing Coordinator. “I would encourage people to join the club if they are looking for a place to have a lot of fun and meet some great people,” Fennig said. “While we are obviously focused on teaching dance, the biggest thing for me and the other members of my support team is community building.” Although there is a fee to take part, the

money raised from the club will benefit Cornerstone’s various art programs, as well as its scholarship fund. The admission price for each event is $8 for students and children ages 10 and up, and $12 for adults. There is no
need to register beforehand for the event as participants can simply show up at Cornerstone that evening. Contact Emily Sabens with any questions or concerns at ecsabens@bsu.edu.

Men's volleyball continues winning streak Team improves to 6-1 on season with East Coast wins Hendrix Magley Men’s Volleyball Reporter Ball State men’s volleyball continued its hot streak on the East Coast this past weekend with wins over Harvard University and Sacred Heart University to improve to 6-1 on the season. The Cardinals, who are ranked No. 13 in the NCAA AVCA Division I-II Coaches Poll, started the road trip off with a 3-2 win over Harvard (25-20, 23-25, 25-17, 20-25, 15-13) Friday. The following day, they capped the weekend off with a 3-0 win over Sacred Heart (25-18, 25-22, 25-22). Head coach Joel Walton was impressed with how well the team played on the road. “Anytime you put the amount of travel on a team like we did this weekend and you step on someone else’s home court two nights in a row, it’s hard to come away with victories,” Walton said. “I’m pleased with the job that our guys did in those foreign environments.” The Cardinals had a hitting percentage of over .300 in both matches. Junior outside attacker Mitch Weiler finished the weekend with a team-high 26 kills, 14 against Harvard and 12 against Sacred Heart. The Cardinals also had a strong offensive showing over the weekend from junior middle attacker Matt Walsh who finished the road trip with 21 kills. “Good offense takes physical personnel,” Walton said. “On offense you have to have some physical players and we did a nice job of that.” Walton was also impressed with the team’s passing over the weekend. Sophomore libero Adam Wessel led the Cardinals with 20 digs in the two matches

point where you serve the perfect game,” Walton said. “For us, it’s finding that mix of serving the tough ball in play but not committing so many service errors that you’re giving away your team’s opportunities to score points and go on runs.” Walton also said that there were times this weekend where the Cardinals struggled with their blocking. Ball State finished the road trip with 13.5 blocks, 7 against Sacred Heart and 6.5 against Harvard. “There were moments where I thought we could’ve blocked better
while Weiler also added 15 digs. The one area where Walton said he would like to see improvement is in the serving game. The Cardinals finished the weekend with 42 service errors to only nine aces. “I don’t know if you ever get to the

Ball State has an 6-3 record. Last season, Tyler started 18 games for Ball State. Whitford has been changing his lineup for the last five games and said Tyler could see himself in that role if he keeps playing well. “[Tyler] certainly could be in the starting lineup,” Whitford said. “My intention is to start different lineups throughout the course of the year because there isn’t much of a gap between the players.” Contact Ryan Flanery with any questions or concerns at @Flanery_17.

WOMEN'S TENNIS
Ball State learns from loss to No. 2 North Carolina Team goes on to win next 2 matches in North Carolina Colin Grylls Sports Editor
Even in losses, there are still lessons to be learned. Ball State women’s tennis opened its season with a 7-0 loss at No. 2 North Carolina Saturday. Head coach Max Norris said the match provided an opportunity to see a championship-caliber program up close — the Tar Heels have made the NCAA Tournament every year since 1999. “A lot of the tactics that we teach, a lot of the strategy we try to teach, are what the best players in the whole country are doing,” said Norris, who is also a former North Carolina assistant coach. “When you see it in person and you see their level, it takes away some of the mystery of it. While the players were very good and they outplayed us, it lets you see with your own eyes, ‘OK, here’s what I’m capable of doing against some of the best people in the country, and here are some things I need to work on.’ ... I think that was invaluable.” Senior Toni Ormond took her match against No. 44 Alexa Graham to three
“
I think it shows that we’re a group of people who are always excited to compete and it shows that, irrespective of a loss or a win, we’re trying to go forward and we’re trying to move on to the next thing and not indulge ourselves in the past,” — Max Norris, head coach
sets, losing 6-1, 5-7, 1-0 (10-2). Ormond was playing in the third flight, where most opponents won’t have a nationallyranked player, but the Tar Heels have five players ranked in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association’s Top 50, though only four played against Ball State. The Cardinals (2-1) bounced back quickly, though. Saturday afternoon they beat North Carolina Central 7-0 without losing a single set. Ball State then beat UNC-Greensboro 6-1 on Sunday morning. “I think it shows that we’re a group
of people who are always excited to compete and it shows that, irrespective of a loss or a win, we’re trying to go forward and we’re trying to move on to the next thing and not indulge ourselves in the past,” Norris said. "Especially when you lose, you’re excited to go forward and get on the court for the next match and see if you can win it.” Every player that made the trip also played, in part because of the tight scheduling that had the Cardinals playing three matches in two days. Ball State’s next match is its home opener against Dayton on 2 p.m. Sunday. Norris said the Cardinals will look to take advantage of their comfort at home — last season the Cardinals were 11-1 in Muncie — but the trip to Chapel Hill, North Carolina, was an important step in becoming a “championship program.” “What we’re trying to press upon them is that there should be no difference if you want to be a championship team each year because then you’re focusing on things you can control,” Norris said. “... I think this weekend was good for us, too, realizing we can create that within ourselves.” Contact Colin Grylls with any questions or concerns @dn_sports.

Cardinals win home opener against Panthers Conference and Purdue plays in the Big Ten—is to learn. “You always want to win, and you’re always disappointed when you lose,” Richards said. “But we knew we were playing teams that are very strong and you kind of approach those matches more from an individual standpoint.” Andersen, for example, had strong performances in his singles matches against ranked
opponents. Against Notre Dame, he was matched up with No. 27 Josh Hagar and won the first set 6-4 before dropping the second set on a tiebreaker and narrowly dropping the third 7-5. Andersen bounced back well, though, beating No. 49 Gergely Madarasz of Purdue the next day 6-3, 3-6, 7-6 (7-5). Andersen said he’s ready for more tough competition, though,
as Ball State’s next two matches are against Big Ten opponents. The Cardinals play at Indiana Friday before hosting Michigan State Feb. 4. “I think that’s a good way to hit the ground running for the year,” Andersen said. “Kind of a good measuring stick to see where we start and then go from here.” Contact Colin Grylls with any questions or concerns @dn_sports.
