Jimmy John’s expands business to cater to off-campus students |

JENNA LISTON GENERAL REPORTER jrliston@bsu.edu

Jimmy John’s has decided to open up another location on West Bethel Avenue by Dairy Queen and McDonald’s, making it the third in Muncie. While this location isn’t close enough to deliver to campus areas, owner Steve Arnold said he opened the new location to provide another option to those who cannot get a delivery order from the Village if it is out of their delivery range. It will be delivering to apartments including Sugarbush Apartments, Silvertree Communities and University Estates. The new franchise will open sometime this week and will provide more job openings and more new employees, Arnold said. Students who live around the Ball State area said they were happy about a new franchise opening up. “A Jimmy John’s on Bethel is a great idea,” junior sociology major Dani Staley said. The new store will provide a more convenient location to students who do not live close to Ball State’s campus, she said. “None of the other stores deliver in the area, so everyone who lives in Windermere, University Estates and Woods Edge can now get it delivered,” Staley said. “It’s great news, but it’s definitely going to hurt my bank account.” Cale Hansen, a junior social work major who lives in Windermere Place Apartments, had the same opinion on the new opening. “I love the fact that there is a Jimmy John’s opening close by,” Hansen said. “I am excited, because it adds another option that’s close to where I live and allows for some food variety.”

She glanced at the folded paper clutched in her hand before looking at the audience and beginning her first joke. “So I realized recently that dating me is a lot like dating fast food,” she said. “I look good, I only cost about four dollars to take out, but after about a month all you really want is the smell of me out of your car.” She smiled as the small audience erupted into laughter.

Applied anthropology program provides hands-on learning

Jonathan Lewis, director of dining at Ball State, is being remembered by family and friends for his friendly personality and dedication to Ball State and the surrounding community. Lewis, who died at home unexpectedly on Oct. 2, was 61 years old. He began his career in dining services at Northern Illinois University before moving to California in 1980 to work for California State University in Los Angeles, where he also obtained his MBA. In 1986, he moved to the University of the Pacific in Stockton, Calif., where he met and married his wife, Peggy. Before returning to the Midwest, Jon spent time working at the University of Maine, and he was also the director of dining at Iowa State University. He started working at Ball State in January 2006, just seven months after Leisa Julian, the associate vice president for business and auxiliary services.

3. ‘I’M SO DRUNK,’ DRIVER SAYS BEFORE ARREST

TNS PHOTO

LAKELAND, Fla. (AP) — “I’m so drunk,” a Florida driver repeatedly tells followers on the social media app Periscope, staring at her cellphone’s camera, mounted on the dashboard, before she is arrested and charged with driving under the influence. The Lakeland Police Department released video from the app Tuesday after the arrest from the weekend made national headlines. In the video,

a glossy-eyed-Whitney Beall said that she thinks she’s blown a tire and that she’s driving very slowly. Assuming a tone halfway between bemusement and a realization that what she is doing is wrong, she said, “I’m f------ drunk and this is horrible.” “All the way home, people, I’m going to be drunk,” she said. “I’m super drunk right now, in a place I really don’t want to be in.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Russian military intervention to prop up Syria’s government has brought new scrutiny of the CIA’s secret support to Syrian rebels fighting Bashar Assad. But how far is the U.S. willing to go to empower its proxies to take on Vladimir Putin’s allies? The answer seems to be: Not very far. “Countering Russia’s involvement in Syria doesn’t rate nearly as

high on the scale” as battling the Islamic State, which has declared a caliphate across parts of Syria and Iraq, White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters Tuesday. After the CIA spent more than two years secretly working with Arab allies to arm, train and fund thousands of so-called moderate rebels to oppose Assad, American officials have watched in recent days as Russian bombs and missiles have targeted those groups.

Bernie Sanders clashed over U.S. involvement in the Middle East, gun control and economic policy in the first Democratic presidential debate Tuesday, outlining competing visions for a party seeking to keep the White House for a third straight term. Yet in a moment of political unity — and levity — Sanders leapt to Clinton’s defense on the issue of her controversial email practices as Secretary of State.

“The American people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails,” Sanders exclaimed as the crowd in Las Vegas roared with applause. A smiling Clinton reached over to shake his hand and said, “Thank you, Bernie.” While the five candidates onstage took issue with each other, they also repeatedly sounded traditional Democratic themes — such as fighting income inequality — that are sure to carry over to the general election campaign against the Republicans.

Above all else, Julian said she would miss Jon and the advancements he brought to the university. “He was an experienced and dedicated colleague who worked ardently to make BSU’s dining operation the award-winning contemporary, customer-centric operation that it is today,” Julian said. “I will miss Jon.” Along with his soft-spoken, witty and sociable personality, Julian said Jon was also a clever businessman and a leader. “Dining services is a huge operation on campus, and Jon was admired for his ability to see employees as future leaders and inspired many to achieve their poten-

Stuart Sipahigil, senior strategist for enterprise user engagement, and Phil Repp, interim dean of the College of Architecture and Planning, were awarded a $147,237 three-year grant from Ball State to work on the project. “One of the categories that was in the grant proposal [we wrote] was student engagement,” Sipahigil said. “So what we wanted to do was make sure that we could figure out a way to have students’ voices be heard a little more maybe than it is. tial,” she said. Ball State is home to 14 dining locations serving more than 4.8 million meals a year, Julian said. When running such a large operation, she said it was Jon that not only kept the business moving, but made improvements and advancements wherever he could. “With Jon’s 40-plus years of experience in university food service operations, he was very knowledgeable and adept at handling a university food service operation of this size with a strong sense of business acumen,” Julian said. “I always was impressed with how many employees he mentored over the years to move up the career ladder in the university food service world, and many became directors in their own right at other places.” In addition to being dedicated to his work, Julian said he was also devoted to his family. When Jon was awarded the Theodore W. Minah Distin-

I think it’s very important that students feel like they have some say in how things work around here.” My Voice is divided into three phases. During the collection phase, crowd-sourcing tools like apps built by the Digital Corps will allow students to submit ideas for things they would like changed on campus, which can include anything from finding a better way to pay a Bursar bill to setting up classes. After that, the most-submitted issues will be sent to students to vote on. That voting information will be guished Service Award by the National Association of College and University Food Services — which Julian said was a “lifetime achievement and tremendous honor” for him — he spoke mostly about his wife and sons and how much they meant to him and supported his career. “The love, devotion and tenderness he had for his family was spoken deeply from his heart and shared with all of us, which was so unlike Jon, as he tended to be a private person,” Julian said. “Peg was next to me with tears of joy and happiness for Jon. I felt privileged to be there and witness that.” Jon was also a member of the Muncie Noon Rotary group, where he recently completed his term as president. While in leadership, Jon was known for his humble and dependent character. “Jon was such a good guy,” Muncie Rotary President Sara Shade said. “He always treated people so well, and it was such a shock to find out he had passed away.”

narrowed down again and a “Charter for Change,” containing information on the issue, will be sent to the people who actually consult the problem and those people will work on a solution, Sipahigil said. The entire three-phase process will be digital, IT director Brandon Smith said. The website will allow students to go online and choose some categories for what their idea may fall into. “We don’t want a big manifesto, we’re asking for kinda short, Twitter-length sort of ideas to get us started,” Smith said. “Since it’s all digShade said Jon had attended a luncheon with the Rotary just a day before he died, and many he knew are mourning his death. “He did a lot of great work at Ball State, but he also did a lot of great work in the community,” Shade said. “While he was president, we were looking at various projects to support, and Jon jumped right in, and it was a very unique experience for us all to have with him.” His leadership as president opened up an “aura of support” for many that he impacted, she said. While serving at the Rotary, she said it was Jon who noticed her abilities as a leader and, after working together during his presidency, selected her as the next Rotary president. “He was so hospitable and loving to everyone he met,” Shade said. “Jon was someone that loved what he was doing, and I think I have learned a lot from him in that way. He will be greatly, greatly missed.”

ital, on the backend we have a dashboard that shows us in real time how many ideas are coming in for academics vs facilities—all the different categories that we’re going to be monitoring.” The Digital Corps is currently building and testing the tools. Taking designs for the student voting aspect is up to Jessica Lohse, a senior computer science major, who implements them to ensure they can get all the data back for the campaign. “I know as a graduating senior I’m not going to be here next year, but to know that my stuff is going to contin-

A marketing team was formed within the Digital Corps to make sure students are aware of the initiative. “We will be around campus and have everything set up so students can come right up to us and will be able to submit their ideas right then and there,” said Emmelyn Brandt, a junior marketing major. “We’re really wanting people to submit ideas on anything that they see that can make a difference for everyone.”

AAL receives grants from federal agencies such as the Department of Natural Resources and the National Park Service, archaeologist Christine Thompson said. Many of the grants come with stipends for the graduate assistants and hourly payment for the undergraduates. Thompson said the reason some surveys are conducted is because certain counties are “data deficient,” meaning there hasn’t been much archaeology research there. “It could be that they haven’t had much development

in those counties, but they are trying to beef up the knowledge,” Thompson said. Jamie Leeuwrik, a graduate assistant in AAL, said she’s gained many skills she didn’t learn during her undergraduate years at a smaller university. Ball State has allowed her to gain more technical experience working with equipment and programs such as Geographic Information System. “I think it’s a good way to get a full picture of what being an archaeologist is like, because it’s not as glamorous as people think,” Leeuwrik said.

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis will perform on Feb. 3 at John R. Emens Auditorium. Tickets go on sale at 7 a.m. on Oct. 16 for students with a valid student ID.

acklemore and Ryan Lewis will perform at Ball State Feb. 3 as part of their first national tour in almost two years, as announced by John R. Emens Auditorium on Monday. Tickets go on sale to students with a valid student ID at 7 a.m. Friday at the Emens Auditorium box office. There is a limit of one student and one non-Ball State student guest ticket per ID, but students can bring a friend’s ID and buy a maximum of four tickets. People who camp out for tickets on Thursday will be eligible for prize giveaways from Emens Auditorium beginning at 9 p.m. Tickets cost $10-15 for Ball State students and $25-30 for non-Ball State students.

Tickets will go on sale for faculty members and the Muncie community if they are not soldout after student sales. Macklemore and Lewis gained fame in 2012 with their song “Thrift Shop,” which also earned them a Grammy. They released their single “Downtown” in August. While saying they intend to release an album, they have not said when it will be available. “We’re very excited for the timing of the concert and being able to bring this to campus and the Ball State community,” said Kristi Chambers, the assistant director of marketing and communications for Emens Auditorium. Several Ball State students reacted positively to the possibility of seeing the “Same Love” artists.

Plastic pavilion raises awareness on sustainability Emerging Green Builders to finish sculpture by CAP

ALEXANDRA SMITH GENERAL REPORTER ajsmith9@bsu.edu

Plastic bottles will fill the area between the College of Architecture and Planning and Miller College of Business buildings starting Oct. 14, but it won’t be careless students that placed them there. Members of Ball State’s Emerging Green Builders (EGB) group have been constructing a pavilion made entirely from plastic bottles in private and will finish the process in public. The pavilion will be on campus for four days and is meant to raise awareness for environmental sustainability practices. “Sustainability is important because [humans] are hurting the environment. It won’t continue to support us if we keep treating it like we are now,” said Molly Schultz, president of Ball State’s EGB chapter and a senior architecture major. To Schultz, sustainability means “controlling consumption of resources and being more aware of the environment.” She first learned about the concept in sixth grade while on a field trip touring homes by Frank Lloyd Wright. Her father, who studied sustainability, solidified her interest. Shultz didn’t start getting involved with sustainability until her fresh-

man year in college. “EGB was one of the architecture groups promoted, and I liked the sustainability part,” she said. “There was good information on how it related to architecture.” The pavilion is the result of a class project where Schultz and other students designed a pavilion out of recycled materials, but the plans never made it past the drawing board. Schultz brought the idea to life. Not only would it be a good way to promote EGB, she thought, but it would also serve as a way to provoke students’ curiosity about sustainability and green living. Originally, wooden pallets were the pavilion’s material, not plastic bottles. “There was going to be a lot of statistics about consumption, and even a wall where students could pledge to consume less and live greener lives,” Schultz said. There have since been changes to the original idea. The plastic bottles were collected in bins around CAP. The pavilion hasn’t been introduced to the public yet, but Schultz’s plans for awareness are already in motion. “I think it’s a really cool idea,” said Jane Ketzenberger, a freshman majoring in telecommunications. “Sustainability is definitely important, and it sounds like [a pavilion] will attract a lot of attention and create a lot of awareness.” EGB’s efforts will culminate in a fundraiser called Greenival, which will include games and crafts. Greenival will be at the finished pavilion from 12-4 p.m. Saturday.

Be Here Now has weekly comedians perform from 9:30-11 p.m. every Wednesday at Comedy Underground. The show features different comedians who have signed up to perform, and there is a specific lineup each week.

COMEDY:

| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Cunningham is one of the many comedians from around the Midwest and the Muncie area who perform at the weekly Comedy Underground shows on Wednesdays at Be Here Now. The show begins at 9:30 p.m. and the comedians take turns performing until 11:00. “My favorite part about performing is the boost of confidence it gives me that I didn’t expect it to,” Cunningham said. “I like Comedy Underground because it’s local and the atmosphere is very accepting and positive.” Comedy Underground began at Be Here Now in October 2014. This July, co-managers Tennah McDonald and Derek Fischer took over the show. Muncie used to contain other comedy venues, but they shut down, said Fischer and Andy Hesik, the audio and content generator for the show. “Comedy Underground

is the only comedy place in Muncie now,” Hesik said. “We bring acts regionally. People come from Indianapolis, Fort Wayne and Ohio to perform here, and it’s actually a nice go-between. There are good things in Muncie, and Comedy Underground is one of those things.” Comedians from different levels — amateur to professional — can perform for Comedy Underground. “It’s a place where if anyone wants to participate — whether its their first time, they’ve done it a thousand times, they have always wanted to try it or they message us on Facebook and show up — it’s possible for them to perform at some point,” Fischer said. The show has undergone some adjustments since changing management in July. There was too much leniency before, McDonald said. “Be Here Now has been so open with us doing changes,” McDonald said. “They were cool about us rearranging everything that we need to, and we have strived to make

Comedy Underground more organized since we started helping out with it.” Six people in total help out with Comedy Underground. Having different people involved helps the show, McDonald said. There are specific lineups set up for each night, and all performing spots for 2015 are already filled. Comedians can sign up for January shows through a Google Doc on Comedy Underground’s Facebook page. “I like performing at Comedy Underground because it’s a really nice space to take risks,” comedian Gabbi Boyd said. “I always feel comfortable bringing up a set I’ve never done before and seeing what works, and it’s so important to have spaces where you feel safe to fail.” Preparation before a show is essential to other comedians’ performances. “Before a show, I write down some main ideas, and then after that I’ll write out the set. After I know my main ideas, though, I usually just test it on people in my life and see what works

best,” Cunningham said. Bringing the community together through comedy is one of the show’s goals. “Comedy is very cathartic, and I think it helps with public speaking and looking at the world in a creative way — not just seeing things for what they are, but trying to find what’s funny about it,” Digital Media Manager for Comedy Underground Kimber Stancato, said. “I think comedy is very accepting, at least here it is, and we try to be a support system in whatever kind of art you want to do. We will help you do that to the best of our ability.” Comedy plays an important role in the lives of the comedians as well. “Comedy is really vulnerable but really powerful at the same time. Comedy has taken all the best parts of myself and given them a playground, really,” Boyd said. “Comedy really enables me to be me wholly. I get to think and feel and play all at the same time, and I’ve never found anything else in my life that engages all of me that way.”

Ball State’s offensive attack looks to find balance Cardinals hope to revive run game in remaining games ROBBY GENERAL SPORTS EDITOR | @The_Generex6 Balance is what head coach Pete Lembo looks for in Ball State’s football team — a balanced plan of attack between the rushing and passing games. While in recent weeks the ground game has struggled, the passing game has stepped up, creating opportunities for the ground game to pick up yards when needed. Tough opponents have been a recurrence for the football team this season, and in Lembo’s press con-

ference on Tuesday, he discussed how Georgia State is going to be no different. Lembo’s definition of balance is dependent on what opposing teams give the Cardinals. “Balance doesn’t mean equal yardage or equal play calls. That’s our philosophy,” Lembo said. “Earlier in the season, some of these teams were a little more willing to give us some good looks to run it.” The success in the passing game allows the running game to open up, even if the statistics haven’t shown that. The last time a Ball State running back rushed for more than 100 yards this season was Darian Green’s 164yard effort against Eastern Michigan in week three.

Since then, the Cardinals have been stonewalled running the ball. The game on Saturday will give the Cardinals an opportunity to revitalize their running game. Georgia State allows over 200 rushing yards per game on the ground. Whether or not Lembo decides to focus on the run game is dependent on the front the Panthers show up with on Saturday. “A lot of that will be dictated by what Georgia State decides to do,” Lembo said. “I’d love to run it, we’ve had quite a history of great quarterbacks, … but deep down I’m an ex-offensive lineman who loves to run the football.” The 59-41 loss against Northern Illinois on Saturday marked the Cardinals’ third

straight loss, bringing their record to 2-4 halfway through the season. The defense allowed the Huskies to score on nine straight scoring drives, but the offense kept the Cardinals competitive throughout the game. “Offensively, we went in with a really aggressive plan,” Lembo said. “[We] were going for it on fourth down, up-tempo and I thought we executed well.” The aggressiveness allowed the Cardinals to remain in the game even while trailing Northern Illinois for a majority of the game. This upcoming game will mark the final non-conference game on the Cardinals’ schedule. Lembo is taking it like any other game, despite

Freshman quarterback Riley Neal led the offensive charge during the game against Northern Illinois on Saturday. The upcoming game for the Cardinals will mark the final non-conference game on their schedule for this season.

the fact that the Panthers are 1-4 this season. “This is a really important game, but it’s no more or less important than any other,”

Lembo said. “They all count the same. They’re all going to count in the win-loss column, and they’re all going to count towards bowl eligibility.”

MUST-WIN MENTALITY ONLY WAY FOR TEAM TO SEE BOWL EVAN SIDERY FROM THE SIDELINE

After Saturday’s 59-41 loss against Northern Illinois, Ball State dropped to 2-4 (1-2) on the season. Even though the offense has played well with Riley Neal at quarterback, the Cardinals defense has remained inconsistent to say the least. The last two weeks, Toledo and Northern Illinois’ offenses have been able to dominate four of the eight quarters, both of which led to losses. This season, Ball State is allowing 499 yards of total offense per game (223 yards on the ground and 276 through the air). Those statistics, simply put, are not good enough for Ball State to play in the Mid-American Conference title game in Detroit, Mi. come December. Right now, the Cardinals’ are relying on becoming bowl-eligible, which only happens after six wins in the Football Bowl Subdivision. The Cardinals have already played four road matches, so they will have three straight at Scheumann Stadium to close out October. The Cardinals are favored to come out with victories in at least two of these games. The next three opponents for Ball State: Georgia State, Central Michigan and UMass, have a combined record of 4-12. Setting the Cardinals up advantageously to gain momentum heading into a tough November slate that will decide their bowl eligibility. If they sweep this home stretch, which they should, they will sit above .500 with a 5-4 record. Heading into the Northern Illinois game, head coach Pete Lembo had the same mindset he always does, every game matters. After the loss, the Cardinals are left with a mustwin mentality moving through the rest of the season. Ball State’s last postseason experience came in back-to-back seasons in 2012 and 2013, with Keith Wen-

ning and Willie Snead leading the charge. Before that, the program had only been to five total in their history, which included only two in this millennium in 2007 and 2008. This season, the team has the ability and talent to change that. The offense has the weapons in Jordan Williams, Darian Green, KeVonn Mabon, James Gilbert, Neal, as well as others who should make noise going into conference play. The defense needs to step out of their funk and keep opposing offenses from piling up big scoring games. Allowing 36 points per game will not be good enough when they travel to Western Michigan (23) and Ohio (5-1), and especially not against high-scoring Bowling Green (4-2) who has dominated big name schools this season, in a game where they the Cardinals will be on the edge of bowl eligibility. This loss to Northern Illinois was a swing game for the Cardinals. If they would have come out on top, Ball State could have clinched bowl eligibility by the end of the month. Neal is coming into his own on the field, and he might be able to push his team into postseason play. The true freshman has over 1,000 yards passing and 8 touchdowns in five games. Boasting a quarterback rating of 126.2, which is the best performance by a Cardinal signal caller since Wenning’s senior year. These next three games will make or break the Cardinals’ season. One slip up will likely cost them a bowl game trip for the second consecutive season. “Every MAC game is a championship game,” Lembo said leading into the Northern Illinois game last week. That is how Ball State will have to treat remaining six games of the season if they want to play in December or January.

EIGHT POINTS TO TAKE FROM THE DEMOCRATIC DEBATE KAITLIN LANGE KAITLIN’S LANGEUAGE KAITLIN LANGE IS A JUNIOR JOURNALISM AND POLITICAL SCIENCE MAJOR AND WRITES ‘KAITLIN’S LANGEUAGE’ FOR THE DAILY NEWS. HER VIEWS DO NOT NECESSARILY AGREE WITH THOSE OF THE NEWSPAPER. WRITE TO COLUMNIST AT KLLANGE@BSU. EDU.

Politics aren’t for everyone. This truth was reaffirmed when I forced my roommates to watch CNN’s Democratic primary debate. One of my roommates thought the minimum age to be president was 50. Neither knew who Bernie Sanders was when his face appeared on the TV screen. Regardless of if you live for debates or not, or just simply didn’t get time to watch, here are some of the takeaways from the evening.

The debate was between the five Democratic candidates. Going into the race, former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton led the polls, followed by Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. The two were followed by former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, former Virginia Sen. Jim Webb and former Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee. Vice President Joe Biden still hasn’t announced any plans to run for president and was not a

part of the debate.

It was clear who the front runners were the entire night. The debate centered around Clinton and Sanders, with O’Malley occasionally getting some of the focus. The difference in time between candidates was so noticeable that even when Webb was given the chance to talk, he complained about his lack of time.

If debate success rested solely on a candidate’s Internet fame, Sanders just won. According to a story from The Washington Post, after hour one Sanders had not only been Googled the most, but had also gained the most Twitter followers. In terms of Internet popularity, Sanders is the Donald Trump of the Democratic party.

While the candidates touched on a wide range of topics during

the debate, the issue Ball State students should probably care about most is college affordability. Each Democratic candidate at least touched on making college more affordable. Sanders has the most liberal position on the matter, calling for free public college tuition for everyone. While Clinton’s answer was a little more vague, she said she would expect students to be able to work at least 10 hours per week to help pay for college. She also wanted to allow Americans to refinance their student loans in an effort to reduce debt. The topic of debt-free education wasn’t talked about in-depth until the second hour.

Clinton’s email scandal won’t go away anytime soon, even though apparently everyone wants it to. Even Sanders said, “Enough about the emails. Let’s talk about real issues,” and the crowd erupted in agreement.

For a party that brags about its view on minorities, the debate almost entirely consisted of white people. Even the majority of the questions were asked by Anderson Cooper, who, you guessed it, is a white man. A black man was given the opportunity to ask a question about “Black Lives Matter,” while a Latino man was given the opportunity to ask about immigration, which seemed far too stereotypical.

Most presidential debates center around knowing how to answer questions in a way that makes candidates look strong. If you want to know their past records or where they stand on certain issues, just look at the questions Cooper asked. “Is Clinton too quick to use force?” “Is Sanders tough enough on guns?” His questions pointed out each candidate’s flaws.

Chafee has only been a Democratic candidate for two years. Clinton has changed her views on multiple issues including Iraq and LGBTQ rights. Sanders might be too far left for moderate Americans to accept.

One topic every candidate seemed very passionate about was the unequal distribution of in America, which plays a huge roll in each of the candidate’s platform. O’Malley focused on the corruption of big banks, while Sanders also added that he would raise the minimum wage to $15 per hour. For those students working on campus earning $7.25 an hour, thats a big jump. Overall, the debate was not near as entertaining without Donald Trump for the non-politically minded. And my roommates were more interested in the BuzzFeed quizzes that told them which female Disney charac75004 ter they were.

Teacher shortage not concerning GROUP LOOKING FOR

TALENTED WORKERS TO ADD TO ECONOMY

Changing industry means smaller need, econ professors say

Students, faculty aim to jumpstart economic growth

RAYMOND GARCIA EDUCATION REPORTER ragarcia@bsu.edu

The number of teaching licenses issued in Indiana last year has decreased, but economics professor Cecil Bohanon said it isn’t as concerning as it seems. Indiana had a 21 percent decrease from the previous year in the number of teacher licenses issued during 2014-15, according to the Indiana Department of Education 2015 Educator Licensing Data release. In a column from the Indiana Business Journal Oct. 3, Bohanon wrote that there are many education school graduates unable to find teaching jobs and there has been an excess of credentialed teachers. Therefore, there should not be concern over teacher shortages. He said the specific teacher shortages are in specialized fields such as mathematics, science and special education. School districts have had trouble filling these positions because the wages are too low. “Certain skill sets and certain training are a lot more valuable than other training,” Bohanon wrote. “Those differentials ought to be recognized in the hiring process.” There is a mismatch of skill sets because people go into certain fields more than others, he said.

There was a 21 percent decrease in the number of teaching licenses issued in 2014-15 in Indiana. Although there are teacher shortages in specialized fields, there is still an excess of credentialed teachers and education school graduates that cannot find jobs.

School districts need to be willing to pay teachers in specialized disciplines more money. Michael Hicks, director of the Center for Business and Economic Research, said there isn’t a teacher shortage in Indiana. In a draft of his research, “Policy Brief: Issues in the Supply and Demand for K-12 Educators,” Hicks wrote that there is evidence of an excess supply. He estimated an excess of 3,000 teachers in Indiana. They aren’t working in the education field, and about 1,100 are working in jobs that pay less than teaching. “This would come at a surprise to many because Teachers College enrollment has plummeted,” Hicks said.

In a previous story, the Daily News reported that from 2010 to 2013, there was a 28 percent drop in Indiana teacher education programs overall, according to the Title II Higher Education Act. Ball State’s enrollment in the teacher education program has dropped 15 percent from 2010 to 2014, according to the Office of Institutional Effectiveness. Hicks said the decrease in student enrollment shows how the teaching industry is changing. Schools are encouraging future teachers to receive training in the specific department in which they will teach, such as math or science, leading to more degrees in other fields instead of a teaching degree. Teachers have been over-

produced for a long time, Hicks said. According to his policy brief, the excess supply of Teachers College graduates has led to the enrollment declines in education programs. One of the reasons there is a concern over teacher shortages could be political, Hicks said. “The people who are pushing it most are deans of teachers colleges, who are facing shrinking enrollments,” he said. To fill the need for teachers in specific disciplines, Hicks recommended higher wages for Indiana teachers. State universities should also inform prospective education majors about the excess supply of teachers and direct them to areas with increasing demand, he wrote.

A Ball State group is working to improve Indiana’s quality of life by bringing talented people into cities and working to keep them there. The Indiana Communities Institute will assist cities by helping them bring in those talented people and find inventive ways to keep them there. Students, faculty and staff will go to places like Columbus, Ind., Shelbyville, Ind., South Bend, Ind., and anywhere people want help to reshape their communities, Dick Heupel, the interim director of ICI, said. “We find today that the most vibrant places are those with high levels of human capital,” Heupel said. “[This is] typically measured by educational levels, but we also find entrepreneurial activities driving more innovation and business creation.” The Indiana economy has been based on industrial equipment since the 20th century, Heupel said. In the 60s, nearly half the state’s population was employed in manufacturing. Today, only 6 percent of

Americans are employed in manufacturing, and Indiana is twice as dependent on it as the rest of the country. “While we continue to produce industrial goods at an ever-increasing rate, we do so with far fewer people who are armed with higher skill levels than in the past,” Heupel said. Michael Hicks, director of the Center for Business and Economic Research, said Indiana’s human capital shortage lies in the fact that the state does not attract enough talented, outof-state people. “The bottom-line research finding from the past three decades is that new businesses are good, but the traditional economic development policies we’ve employed aren’t having an effect on new businesses locating to a region,” Hicks said. The shift toward human capital-based economic strategy is a reaction to the amount of high-quality research on the topic, and 50 years worth of poor outcomes from current measures, Hicks said. “I think that the Indiana Communities Institute is a stunning example of a university getting out ahead of and setting a bold mission for researchers and practitioners to help policymakers change their focus towards something that will make Indiana a better place,” Hicks said.
