Heartland Film is a nonprofit arts organization founded in 1991 with the mission to inspire filmmakers and audiences through the transformative power of film. The festival is Oct. 12-22 in Indianapolis. HEARTLAND FILM FESTIVAL, PHOTO COURTESY
Heartland Film Festival
‘The Tree’ is a beautifully told tale of going home Film revolves around 88-year-old woman Sarah James Byte Reporter When walking into an independent film festival, you never know exactly what to expect. A film about an 88-year-old woman taking a road trip may not seem exciting to some, but “The Tree” is so much more than what meets the eye. Director Stephen Wallace Pruitt took the inspiring friendship between his mother and her best friend and orchestrated a beautiful, heartwarming work of fiction that is sure to pull on the heartstrings. “The Tree” stars Joicie Appell as Dorothy Thorp, an 88-year-old woman who takes a solo road trip from Kansas to her hometown of Terre Haute, Indiana, to see her childhood best friend. Along the way, she serves her own distinct brand of Midwestern wisdom to the people she meets, helping others to the best of her ability as she makes her way home. Dorothy feels like she could be anyone’s grandmother, and her spirit, kindness and sense of adventure is captivating. This story of a journey toward home is something usually reserved for a young, rebellious protagonist as a means of discovering who they are. Taking this story and shifting it to an 88-year-old woman gives the narrative a new level of depth and emotion and makes one nostalgic for a time they may have only heard of. Joicie Appell is an absolute stand out. The entire film rests on her shoulders and she does not disappoint in the slightest. In a Q&A after the
film screening, filmmakers Stephen and Mary Pruitt revealed that Joicie memorized all her lines, not relying on cue cards in the slightest for long takes during lengthy scenes, which for a woman of her age is absolutely remarkable. Dorothy has moments of sheer joy and kindness mixed in with real concern, all intermingled with quick wit and comedy; Joicie masters each element of her character. Her spirit is what drives the movie forward and draws the audience in. She executes the role flawlessly. This film was shot primarily in Kansas and Missouri, although the ending of the film took place in Terre Haute. The cast and crew drove along the national roads from Kansas to Indiana, showcasing the beautiful sights and quirks of the American Midwest. In fact, this whole film has a charm that is so undoubtedly Midwestern that anyone from the area can understand it immediately, even if they don’t recognize it outright. “The Tree” is a beautiful and emotional story that truly encompasses the heart of this area of the country, on top of asking the audience what they would do for the chance to go home. Stephen Pruitt told the audience after they watched his film that, “We all have a tree we would like to go back to.” What is your tree? Where is the place you want to someday return? And whose lives will you touch on your journey there? If you have a chance to see this film, I highly recommend you bring tissues. Tears may be shed.

Muncie sees improvements in water quality after 2016 boil order After last year’s advisory, Muncie tap water has been cleared of lead.
PEXELS, PHOTO COURTESY
Andrew Harp Reporter Water quality within the Muncie area has always been questioned and contested. Now, the question is, will it get better or worse? Rick Conrad, the director of the Bureau of Water Quality in the Muncie Sanitary District, said the bureau was created over 45 years ago to help regulate and check up on industrial pollution in the area. Before the creation of the bureau, industries would tend to contaminate waterways with metals, causing toxic chemicals to make their way into the human body. Conrad said the problem of heavy metals within the water has been “largely taken care of.” Since the creation of the Clean Water Act in 1972, which established the basic structure for regulating pollutant discharges into the waters, heavy metals in the White River are mostly undetected. The sewage overflow systems were one of the more concerning
things regarding the quality of surface water in Muncie, said Conrad, because these overflows would allow raw sewage into the White River when it rained. In an effort to alleviate this type of flooding on Madison Street, Muncie recently unveiled a new
The biggest concern is E. coli from the combined sewer overflows because it runs a greater risk for coming into human contact. To make the issue worse, President Donald Trump’s administration has been
We make sure that every drop of water we put out into the river is fully treated.” - JOHN BARLOW Superintendent, water pollution control facility storm drainage system to the public. Conrad said this process can be very expensive despite only having to separate the rain and sewage. Because of this, it will take 16 more years to completely separate storm sewers from sanitary sewers. “It’s going to take rain water and send it to the river as opposed to sending it to the plant to be treated because it’s maxing out the plant,” Conrad said.
rolling back the authority of the Environmental Protection Agency, which could include eliminating the Clean Water Act. Conrad said changes like these do warrant a concern to water quality, however, no real changes have occurred so far. “There’s nothing overly concerning that has happened in the first eight to 10 months [of Trump’s presidency],” Conrad said. “Our hope is that having an office like this here, will we not
see a big impact or a backwards slide in water quality locally.” Conrad said for over 45 years, the Bureau has been testing and sampling water from industries that discharge anything to the treatment plant that the plant can’t remove. This includes anything that is toxic and might affect plant or river life. John Barlow has been the superintendent of the water pollution control facility in the Muncie Sanitary District for about 10 years. According to the control facility’s website, it treats wastewater for various pollutants before it is sent to the White River. “We make sure that every drop of water we put out to the river is fully treated,” Barlow said. Barlow said they’ve been “consistently modernizing and optimizing” the plant since he began work there 35 years ago, which has allowed the company to see better efficiency. Some of the sewer systems, Barlow said, have structural issues, especially considering
Muncie’s size and age. However, the issues aren’t clearly visible until actual problems start to occur. The facility has been working on different projects to improve itself, including the use of UV rays to disinfect wastewater before it’s discharged instead of using chlorine gas, which will begin next year. Barlow said he believes everyone at the plant has a hand in ensuring the White River is improving, despite costs for the improvements. “Nobody gives us a day off. It
comes in 365 days, seven days a week, 24 hours a day. We’re doing the job,” Barlow said. It appears that hard work is paying off. According to a 2016 annual water quality report from the American Water Muncie operations, drinking water quality met the standards of all federal and state requirements. Last year it was reported that Muncie tap water had not been plagued with lead amid the 24hour boil order that occurred. Contact Andrew Harp with comments at adharp@bsu.edu.

Guardians scholarship program helps 16 former foster students
Andrew Harp Reporter For Savannah Lundgren, one program at Ball State provided her with a chance to succeed at college. The Guardians Scholar program, which gives scholarships to students who are current or former foster youth, took Lundgren in during her second semester at Ball State. The program provides for students primarily through scholarship support, but also through a variety of postsecondary support and referral services to help recipients earn their degree. From the beginning, Lundgren said the people involved in the program had nothing but good intentions. “It’s been really great. Guardian Scholars the past three years for me has been such a motivator,” Lundgren said. “It’s good to have someone serve as checkpoints in your life to make sure that you’re not going down the wrong path. It’s just good to have somebody there for you.” The program was created by the Social Science Research Center, which is sponsored by the Ball State Department of Social Work, and is currently housed there. Ann Brown, director of the Social Science Research Center and a professor of social work, and Olivia Fellows, the program coordinator, have been with Guardian Scholars for the past four academic years. Only one to two scholarships are given through the program per year because the money is funded through donations, but both Fellows and Brown hope that donations will continue to build so they can help more students.
“We do a weekly meeting mostly focused on academics, so we do some academic coaching and monitoring for our students, making sure that they’re successful in the classroom,” Fellows said. This past academic year, the program had an 80 percent retention rate of freshmen within the program, an average grade point average of 3.372 for active freshmen and an 80 percent participation for all freshmen engagement activities. The program currently has 16 students of all grade levels enrolled for this academic year. Brown said the program reaches out to “school counselors, local offices of the department of child services, and residential child caring agencies” to make sure they know the program exists at Ball State. Both Brown and Fellows said they wish for the program to expand. For now though, they are focusing on the students they do have, such as Lundgren, who through the program, was able to focus on her major in biology with a concentration in zoology and wildlife biology and conservation. In addition to her minor, the senior also has a natural resources minor, an international resources management minor, an environmental management minor and a leadership studies minor. She said Fellows was that “steady hand” who understood and supported her throughout college. “You truly feel, not that you’re holding their hand but that you’re just walking alongside a student and their journey,” Fellows said. “You can truly see how these students stand out and how they become role models for any student who has experienced foster care as well. It’s such a rewarding position.” Contact Andrew Harp with comments at adharp@bsu.edu.

Alumni create projects to improve building materials Initiatives began after 2010 earthquake devastated Haiti, destroyed most of country’s infrastructure Dylan Grissom Reporter

After a 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit Haiti in 2010, the nation was forced to rebuild much of its infrastructures and buildings. Ball State professor emeritus of architecture Anthony Costello has been visiting Haiti since 2001, and witnessed the damage firsthand. It was during the visits that he realized the poor quality of the concrete blocks, which are Haiti’s main construction material. The problem with Haiti’s concrete blocks was the drying process. While the United States uses kilns to dry blocks, Haitians dry their blocks in the sun — a method Costello said inhibits the block’s ability to maintain moisture to remain strong. “It was obvious that the concrete block was so weak that it would never have resisted the earthquake forces,” he said. “They put [the concrete block] in the sun and all the moisture evaporates. You can literally break off pieces of the block, that’s how weak it is.” The National Concrete Masonry Association
Foundation and the Midwest Masonry Council provided the funding for a project-based learning class, in which Costello challenged his students to develop a cheap, easy method to build and use a kiln. Ball State alumnae Anne Schnitzenbaumer, Melissa Schnulle and Madaline La Plante met that challenge. In 2010 they designed SOLtek, a kiln built out of PVC pipes and black visqueen — a type of plastic sheet — for the class. The student-designed kiln works by trapping and using solar heat more efficiently. Costello said the kiln-cured blocks have been able to withstand up to 1,400 pounds per square inch. Prior to this project, Haiti’s sun-baked blocks withstood 300 psi. SOLtek received an honor award from the American Institute of Architects Indianapolis in 2017 for the design of the project and special recognition for the thought behind the project. Students in Costello’s 2016 class won an award in the 2016 National Concrete Masonry Association Foundation Unit Design Competition for their work on an interlocking concrete block design.

CBD
Continued from Page 05 “It seems like for a small-town coffee shop in Indiana, at least this early in the CBD oil game, it may be a jump. But when you think about it, it’s not that far out of the bane of what we are doing here already,” said Kyle Raines, general manager of The Cup. “This isn’t a hamburger and fries place.” Ananda Apothecary said on its website that the oil contains a high concentration of CBD, which is said to help users reduce anxiety, fight cancer and ease pain, as well as trace amounts of CBN and THC — the chemical in marijuana that gives its users a high. The Cup began selling the CBD oil the week of fall break. Both Raines and Martin George, owner of The Cup, said they were surprised about who was coming in to buy the products. During the first week alone, they said everyone from nurses to professors to parents were coming in to buy beverages or the oil. You can add the oils to any drink for $4 a shot; however, The Cup recommends staying away from cold drinks when using the oil. “It will thicken in a cold situation if there is no other fats in the drink, it makes it more difficult,” George said. “So a milk-based drink has fats in it and so [the CBD oil] does very well in lattes, cappuccinos, things like that.” Wild Side Smoke Shop in the Village also began
carrying the product, but stopped when the laws surrounding the oil began to get more strict. Even with the passing of bills like House Bill 1148, which established a cannabidiol registry for certain individuals, Indiana Excise police began issuing citations and raiding some businesses that were selling the CBD oil. The Daily News reached out to the Indiana Excise Police for a comment on CBD oil. However, Heather Lynch, the public information officer for the agency, told the Daily News in an email, “We respectfully decline your interview request at this time.” With the excise police unwilling to comment on the case, businesses that sell the oil are left to question the unknown. Despite the citations and raids, Wild Side started selling the products again less than a month ago. Another store, The Smoke Shop, which opened in the Village two weeks ago, started carrying the product last week. While Raines is excited to carry the oil, he wants people to do their own research on the products instead of looking to them for information. “We tell our customers we are excited about this product, it helped us personally,” Raines said. “Go home, do your research, figure out your own where you weigh in on it, and if you’re interested, come back and we will walk you through what we already know.” Contact Andrew Smith with comments at ajsmith15@bsu.edu or on Twitter at @AndrewSmithNews.

ALUMNI Continued from Page 07
Alumni Reva Derhammer, Bryce Derhammer, Alex Thomas and Reed Thompson developed the idea for the interlocking block concept after being challenged by Costello to design a block that is naturally earthquake resistant. Reva said the team wanted to design a block that could withstand earthquake forces and be built with little mortar. “We wanted the Haiti block to be a successful, resilient alternative to the way the Haitians currently construct buildings,” she said. “They notoriously don’t use mortar for their masonry building blocks because of the lack of resources. The block is designed in a way that it doesn’t need mortar.” Both SOLtek and the interlocking block were noticed by Architect Magazine, and both projects
won an honorable mention in the 2017 R&D Awards Program. “Between the two [projects], we’re very proud,” Costello said. “For me, as an educator, there’s no finer reward than to see the work that can come out of an academic pursuit. It’s not done yet, but we’re optimistic for the future. That future, Costello said, involves the spread of the design, as well as being able to teach Haitian masons how to use it. “If you don’t have education, if you don’t go out and show people how to use things, they’re not going to use them correctly,” he said. “All the work that you’d hope would be accomplished simply won’t be done.” Costello hopes to go back to Haiti this summer to build the first full-scale model of the SOLtek kiln and to build and cure the interlocking blocks in it for the first time.

MEN’S TEAM Robby General Reporter
Head coach James Whitford and staff are finalizing pieces for the Ball State men’s basketball team as just three weeks separate them from the 2017-18 campaign. “It’s great, this is always a fun time of the year in college basketball,” Whitford said. “Players are eager to get here, and freshman are eager to get started.” Here are a few things to expect from the Cardinals after a preseason conversation with Whitford:
FINDING THE SENIOR LEADER For the past two seasons, Ball State has had leaders that, in Whitford’s words, have “impeccable work ethic.” Last year it was Franko House who replaced Bo Calhoun, and Whitford says he’s relying on one of the seniors this year to fill another void. “We’re going to miss Franko as a player on the court, but we can overcome that with other bodies,” Whitford said. “The part that we can’t overcome is
if those [seniors] don’t fill that void this year to make sure that their commitment off the court is right.” Seniors Francis Kiapway, Jeremie Tyler and Sean Sellers all played significant roles in Ball State’s rotation last year, but as the season progresses, one of them is expected to fill a twotime All-MAC player’s role.
ROTATION STILL IN QUESTION
Minor injuries have made finalizing a rotation difficult for Whitford this season. “What’s really challenging this year is getting a sense of which guys are going to be on the court,” Whitford said. “We have a number of bodies that have been missing and it’s tough to get a sense of … who we’re going to have on the court.” Junior Trey Moses was out the first few practices with a hamstring injury. That, along with other injuries, makes it too early to say who will fill out the rotation. The seven of nine rotation players returning — Kiapway, Tyler, Sellers, Moses, junior Taylor Persons and sophomore Tahjai Teague — will likely see significant time on the floor. As far as how much playing
time they will get, that will be answered in their opener against Dayton on Nov. 10.
we are talented enough that if we are playing at our best, we can beat anybody.” Although Ball State’s roster will look slightly different this year with the addition of seven new faces, Sallee has no doubts that this team has what it takes. Amongst the seven is a pair of transfers brought in from University of San Francisco and California State University, Bakersfield. “We want to build this thing right and have a solid foundation early in the season this year,” Sallee said. “I like the talent level we have in this diverse group.” The Cardinals’ last season under Sallee saw more than 20 wins, to finish with an overall record of 21-11 (14-4 MAC). After a first-round loss to Buffalo in the Mid-American Conference tournament, the team closed out its season with a loss to Indiana in the Women’s National Invitation Tournament.
The team has been focusing on its athleticism more than usual since it began official practices in early October. Sallee sees a great deal of length and diversity within this season’s lineup. “With the right combinations, we are positionless,” Sallee said. “The better you make your players, the better the players make you.” In preparation to his team’s first exhibition game of the season against IllinoisSpringfield, Sallee would like to see skill development and individual talent, two things the team has been consistently working on. Despite the optimism, Sallee is aware that he will be coaching a different team this season and is ready for the challenges they may face. “Because we have so many new faces, we are struggling right now to do the simple
things,” Sallee said. “We have to be a lot better on defense. Taking care of the ball is going to be instrumental for us and right now we don’t do a great job at that.” Although not big on releasing team goals, Sallee sees a lot of potential in the women’s basketball program this season, which means his expectation of winning come tournament time hasn’t changed. “We want to be playing at our best in March,” Salle said. “We just want to keep getting better and better until then.” Ball State will start its season with an exhibition game against Illinois-Springfield on Nov. 1 at Worthen Arena, followed by the official start of the regular season when it takes on Cleveland State Nov. 11. Contact Robby General with comments at rjgeneral@bsu.edu or on Twitter @rgeneraljr.
CULTURE HAS SHIFTED In his first four years as head coach, Whitford has been trying to change the “culture” of the men’s basketball program, and as he enters his fifth year at the helm, he thinks it has completely shifted. “Getting the culture more towards how I wanted it, it took a while,” Whitford said. Between his second and third year, Ball State had one of the best turnarounds in the NCAA, winning 20-plus games in the past two years. Winning a third straight MAC West Division Championship isn’t the goal for Whitford, though, he just wants his team to focus and “maximize who [they] are.”

Old connections, new opportunities From growing up in Virginia to starting in net at Ball State, freshman Grace Chavez feels right at home in Muncie
With the admittance of a large freshman core to the Ball State field hockey team, one of the newcomers has stood out amongst the rest. Freshman goaltender Grace Chavez has been as described by her coach Christy Longacre as “a rock.” In the 11 games Chavez has started this season, she has held a goals against average of 1.66, a save percentage of .750 and has two shutouts on the season. While venturing out to Indiana from Virginia has been a new experience to Chavez, the path seems all too familiar. Growing up near a field hockey giant in Old Dominion University, Chavez often spent her summers attending the elite Beth Anders field hockey camps at the university. Camp coaches and now Ball State head coach
Christy Longacre and assistant coach Kelsey Smither were keeping a sharp eye on Chavez. When the time came for recruiting in the fall, Longacre and Smither were looking to bring Chavez to their program at Ball State. “When we found out Chavez wasn’t getting so much love from schools that were close to home, we thought that we had to jump on this right away,” Longacre said. “Kelsey and myself played with her high school coach at Old Dominion, so we knew the type of program that she was coming from.” Back in high school, Chavez became accustomed to early success. Picking up field hockey as a freshman, Chavez took off running earning allconference honorable mention and led her high school to an 18-2 record in her senior season. When approached with the idea of traveling 690 miles to play for Ball State, Chavez was skeptical due to the distance, but with the familiar faces of Longacre and Smither she found comfort
WHAT’S NEWS.
Soccer begins road trip with stop at Buffalo Thursday, Akron Sunday Nate Fields Reporter Ball State soccer will look to keep building on its recent momentum as it begins a three-game road trip with a visit to Buffalo Thursday. Ball State (8-6-2, 6-1-1 MAC) currently sits atop the Mid-American Conference West Division, but is second in the overall MAC standings behind Kent State (11-4-1, 7-1 MAC). Ball State sits 2 points behind Kent State for the overall MAC lead, needing a win and a Kent State draw or loss to regain possession of first place. “They’re communicating a lot better, this is a new back line so as they’ve gone through the season they’re positioning better off each other,” Roberts said. “They’re reading each other a lot more naturally than they were at the start of the season. When you start anything new it takes time to perform at the highest level, and I think they’re starting to mesh at the right time and become a wall that’s hard to break down.” Buffalo (6-7-2, 4-3-1 MAC) is also coming off a 1-0 win, defeating Toledo on the road Sunday. Buffalo has had its share of offensive success this season. The Bulls rank third in the MAC in scoring, averaging 1.4 goals per game. The Cardinals rely more on defense for their success, but aren’t far behind the Bulls in scoring. They are tied with Toledo for sixth in the MAC, holding a 1.31 goals per game average. “I still think we can be more clinical in the last third,” Roberts said. “Defensively I think we’ve improved, but I think we still need to finish chances that we get in the box. We’ve scored
off set pieces, but we want to make sure we’re scoring in the run of play also.” Ball State is led in scoring by midfielder Julia Elvbo and forward Sam Kambol, a pair of sophomores, with four goals each. The Cardinals have relied on their depth and balance for the bulk of their offensive production. The Bulls come into Thursday’s game with some depth of their own. Nine players have also scored for them. Both teams have displayed solid passing ability this season. Buffalo is tied for third with Northern Illinois with 1.4 assists per game, while Ball State is not far behind, ranking fifth in the MAC with 1.38. The assist category is another that speaks volumes about the depth Ball State possesses, as 12 different players have been credited with an assist on the year. Buffalo isn’t far behind in that regard. Eleven players have been awarded at least one assist this season. “It’s just a case of continuing with what we’ve been doing of late, and that’s having the versatility to attack down the left, right and center of the field to go at them from all angles,” Roberts said. “We want to sustain the pressure and create opportunities in the attacking third.” Ball State has won its last two meetings against Buffalo. Junior midfielder Lauren Roll scored the lone goal of last year’s meeting, a game in which Ball State outshot Buffalo 20-1 in Robert’s 100th career win as a collegiate head coach. After its visit with Buffalo Thursday, Ball State will travel to Akron Sunday to close out its weekend with a 1 p.m. kickoff. Akron (1-13-2, 0-7-1 MAC) currently sits last in the overall MAC standings, having yet to win a game in its conference schedule. Contact Nate Fields with comments at nefields@bsu.edu
“She’s made some huge saves, but at the same time, it’s all 11 players on the field that need to make that work,” Longacre said. “I think her defense has been doing a great job in front of her and I think that has to do with them and their trust on and off the field.” While Chavez has had a hot start to her freshman season and still has the Norfolk feel in Muncie, she is still in competition to claim the top spot. According to Longacre, freshman Alison McMullen is knocking on Chavez’s door. “Grace and Alison are still competing for that top spot,” Longacre said. “Alison did hop in the Michigan game and did really well. Just making it still a competition and a battle is going to be huge for the both of them. I think they’ll feed off of it from each other.” Contact Jack Williams with comments at jgwilliams@bsu.edu.
in making the trek to Muncie. “Watching [Longacre and Smither] play at Old Dominion, they were kind of my role models,” Chavez said. “Having them coach together, Ball State was really just the perfect place for me.” This season, Chavez has shown to be right at home. While she has found early success this season, Chavez has had to make a few adjustments from her high school style of play. “In college I’ve had to focus more on reacting and not too much of thinking,” Chavez said. “I also try not to get down on myself when I get scored on and focus towards the next play. You have to keep getting better and not look back.” Last season, the Cardinals made a huge program turn around in qualifying for the MidAmerican Conference tournament for the first time since 2011. This season, the team has been rolling off its newfound success, which Chavez is a large part of.

These cities have a lot in common, but one thing stands out above all: they are just a small list of places that have experienced terrible incidents of mass shootings in the U.S.
Some of these have even taken place on college campuses. After every mass shooting, the same thing happens over and over again. “Thoughts and prayers.” In the wake of tragedy, politicians everywhere pour all over social media, dropping that phrase in hopes it will ease their constituents. On both sides of the aisle, this phrase is failing. We are calling for common-sense solution: restrictions on magazines, more background checks and increased mental health awareness and funding, just to name a few.

His views do not necessarily agree with those of the newspaper. Write to Jordan at jamoorman@bsu.edu. As a 6-year old, I tugged on my father’s button-up shirt, pointed to a gun protruding from a stranger’s pants, and timidly said, “Daddy, that JORDAN man over there has a gun.” He MOORMAN responded, “Yes he does, I saw Junior political it when we got here.” “Isn’t science and that scary?” I asked. “No, he history major is allowed to carry it, and if there was a bad person here, he would protect us.” “So, he is a good guy? He would stop a bad guy from hurting us?” “Yes, he would.” Instantaneously, my fear dissipated and I felt safe. That man taught me a valuable lesson: a gun is nothing to be feared. It is a tool for protection. Of course, concealed carry is more complicated than the short conversation I had with my father many years ago. However, one’s ability to exercise his Second Amendment right should not end where a college campus begins, and certainly not where another’s feelings begin.

GUNS
Continued from Page 13 Many on the right agree, to some extent, on many of these solutions. But there are some who are taking the other route. What I want to focus on is those who are calling for the end of gun-free zones, and more specifically, allowing the public (and students) to carry guns on college campuses. Before I came to college, I assumed public places should be gun-free, entrusted to the protection provided by law enforcement. I still feel this way, even more strongly. Not everyone agrees. Guns on college campuses do not make students safer. Gun-control advocates are backed by researchers at John-Hopkins University. These studies find that because of higher rates of drinking, drug use, anxiety and fighting, guns would only heighten the danger. Now, the researchers admitted that because the campus-carry movement is new, there isn’t enough research to see its effect on gun violence. Because that was the case, they decided to look at things such as right-to-carry laws’ influence on violence. “The researchers said their data showed that most fatal mass shootings occur in places where guns are allowed, and people with guns rarely are able to stop them.” a NBC article stated.
University Police Department Chief Jim Duckham has been quoted in multiple Daily News articles as being against carrying on campus. “I don’t want guns on campus. I don’t think it’s a good thing,” he said. “I’ve heard the arguments, and you’re just not going to convince me.” And I’ll give you one more. “There’s a lot of detailed training that goes into carrying and firing a weapon for law enforcement officers,” Duckham said. “If students could carry guns on the campus, there’s no telling who the good guy and bad guy are during a shooting or high-alert situation. And imagine if someone who had never fired a gun before decided they wanted to be a hero — there’s not telling what could happen or who could get hurt.” Now, I don’t know about you, but I trust our chief and his officers to do what is in our best interest and to keep us safe. Police officers, university presidents, researchers and many others all agree that allowing students to carry would not work. I stand by them. Just as Chief Duckham said, there’s no way of telling who the good guys and bad guys are. Lives are at risk. I’m putting my trust in the hands of trained police officers. The only thing that will keep us safe is more education, common-sense gun legislation and increased mental health funding. Enough with “thoughts and prayers.” We must take greater action to prevent more innocent lives from being lost.

Continued from Page 13 Handling a firearm is second nature for me. Growing up, I was shocked and surprised that there were people who did not like guns, and there were even those who wanted to take them away from law-abiding owners. I certainly respect where these people are coming from; after all, guns are instruments of war and terror. However, I have always believed that the wielder of the firearm should bear responsibility, not the firearm itself. Inanimate objects cannot have any value other than that which is given to them. Regardless of the weapon, evil will find a way. Ideology is the problem, not the objects used to commit the acts. To this end, taking away guns serves little purpose and only prevents good people from using them as protection. As of Tuesday, the third case of sexual assault occurred on Riverside Avenue this semester. This is the very reason why concealed carry should be integrated to college campuses. Any potential rapist or violent criminal will be less likely to attack if they do not know who does or does not have a means to defend themselves. The University Police Department Chief Jim Duckham said, “Simply, I do not believe that allowing weapons on campus will increase the safety of the Ball State community.” To be clear, weapons are tools. Anybody carrying pepper spray already has such a tool
of deterrent. “I also do not believe that allowing concealed carry on campus would serve as a deterrent to the reported sexual assaults on college campuses,” Duckham continued. Respectfully, I must disagree. Nothing says deterrent like an empowered woman drawing her 9 mm and emerging unscathed with a criminal on the run. A gun is the greatest equalizer. As the old western aphorism goes, “God created men, and Sam Colt made them equal.” On a college campus, concealed carry can keep people safe. Gun-free zones only disarm lawabiding people and don’t deter bad actors. Guns are frequently used to save lives. In fact, a report from the Secret Service published in 2000 says in regards to school shootings, “over half of the attacks were resolved/ended before law enforcement responded to the scene. In these cases, the attacker was stopped by faculty or fellow students, decided to stop shooting on his own, or killed himself.” Imagine the increased effectiveness if these students and staff were able to stop a shooter with their own firearms. The statistics do not even capture the whole number, as many times simply brandishing the weapon deters crime and saves lives and nothing is reported. A policeman is too big to fit in a pocket. I cannot rely on someone else to protect me at all times. One, guns are not evil. Two, we all have been around concealed carriers whether we knew it or not. Three, citizens do indeed stop shootings and protect themselves. It’s time we accept guns for what they are and take our safety into our own hands.

Ball State football looks to end losing streak in Homecoming game Upperclassmen look forward to seeing old friends, former teammates visiting campus, attending game Colin Grylls Reporter Familiar faces will dot the stands in Scheumann Stadium this weekend as alumni return for Ball State football’s Homecoming game against Central Michigan Saturday. Redshirt senior offensive lineman Vinnie Palazeti said he’s excited to see his friends and former teammates. “As you get older it gets harder to see your friends that you’ve made in college, that you’ve made when you were younger,” Palazeti said. “So they’re all coming to see you, see how you’re doing, hang out, reminisce. Homecoming is probably going to be the highlight of my years coming forward every year. I’m definitely going to be back just like how my friends are coming back this year.” It takes time to make friends, though, which is why Palazeti said the upperclassmen tend to enjoy Homecoming more than the freshmen. “Homecoming as a freshman is awful,” Palazeti
said. “It’s your first year, you don’t know anybody and there’s a million old people that you have no idea who they are. They’re clogging the streets, and they’re clogging the busses. Yeah, it’s pretty bad when you’re a young guy, because when you’re young you don’t have a clue about anything.” On the field, the veterans will have to take charge if the Cardinals (2-4, 0-2 MAC) are going to end their three-game losing streak against the Chippewas (3-4, 1-2 MAC). During last week’s bye, head coach Mike Neu said he focused on making mental adjustments. “It’s just really all about attitude more than anything else,” Neu said. “When things are going good we’re fine, but when things start to go tough at the start of the game, we’ve struggled to overcome tough starts like that.” Redshirt senior quarterback Jack Milas, for example, has thrown six interceptions without a touchdown during the losing streak, including two that were returned for touchdowns. Milas is starting for injured junior Riley Neal, and Neu said
it’s “50-50” on whether Neal will return this season. But four of those interceptions have come with the Ball State trailing by two touchdowns or more, both pick-sixes were thrown as Milas was trying to avoid sacks. Neu said preventing more interceptions is just a matter of getting Milas to trust his teammates instead of trying to force plays. “It’s easy to get caught in that mindset when things aren’t going well and you want something so bad that you press a little bit,” Neu said. “So it’s just continuing to address it with him, like ‘Hey man, just relax and play the game and you’ll be fine.’” Ball State’s running game, however, is in a good position to take pressure off Milas — Central Michigan allows 212.6 yards per game, the thirdmost in the MAC. With a thumb injury sidelining junior running back James Gilbert, freshman Caleb Huntley and sophomore Malik Dunner had been splitting touches evenly until the 31-3 loss at Akron, when Huntley ran for 129 yards on 25 carries while Dunner ran for 37 yards on eight carries.
Offensive coordinator Joey Lynch, however, said Huntley’s usage was matchup-based because of his powerful running style compared to Dunner’s speed. “Every football game’s different so we’ve got to balance it out,” Lynch said. “Those two guys on offense right now are two of the most explosive guys we’ve got, so we’ve got to find a way to keep getting them both the ball.” Neu said he was unsure if Gilbert, like Neal, will return this season. Lynch said Gilbert’s absence makes it more difficult to use Huntley and Dunner because there’s no safety net if one of them gets hurt, too. “Early in the year when we had three backs we were doing a lot more with that coming out of the backfield and doing things,” Lynch said. “So we’ve got to be smart at the same time, right now we’ve got two healthy backs.” Kickoff is scheduled for 3 p.m. Saturday.

2017 Homecoming Court crowned Contestants were 1st voted on back in August
Evan Weaver Reporter The 2017 Homecoming Court was announced Tuesday night after the Talent Search competition. Contestants were chosen to represent their organizations and then voted on by students to select the top ten king and queen candidates. From there, the candidates had a royalty interview dinner where 15 alumni interviewed the candidates and chose the king and queen as well as the court. The court will represent the university at all Homecoming events throughout the week. The 2017 court is:
QUEEN:
Kathy Berryhill, Residence Hall Association
Kathy Berryhill, a junior construction management major, wants to focus on the community as Homecoming queen. “I have a really big focus on community this year,” Berryhill said. “Homecoming, the time that makes Ball State most like a community, and my love of community would just blend really well.” Being on Homecoming Court is a brand new experience for Berryhill. “This isn’t really something I did in high school, so it’s neat to do it now and see what this experience is like.”
KING:
Jacob Germann, National Residence Hall Honorary
Jacob Germann, a senior interpersonal communication major and Spanish minor, wanted to be Homecoming King to meet alumni and to interact with new people. “My hobby is interacting with people, learning people, learning their stories,” Germann said. “Being Homecoming King, I will be able to interact with people in a whole new way and meet people I’ve never met before.” Germann also believes Homecoming King means he will have made an impact on the school. “Not only have my peers seen me, recognized me and want me to succeed, but also the professional staff interviewing me means they see something in me and want me to have the best experience at Ball State,” Germann said.
FEMALE COURT MEMBERS: Morgan Polizzi, Dance Marathon
Morgan Polizzi, a senior public relations major, wants to represent both Dance Marathon and the campus as a member of the court. “For my senior year, and overall, it would be awesome to have a part in Homecoming,” Polizzi said.
She added that being on court will help make memories for years to come. “As I get ready to graduate in May, it will be cool to look back on and tell my kids about,” Polizzi said. “When I come back to Ball State for years to come, it will definitely be something I cherish.”
Kaitlyn Ewing, Alpha Phi Sorority
Kaitlyn Ewing, a senior hospitality and food management major, wants to use the platform of Homecoming Court to make sure every student feels included at Ball State. “For me, it’s about spreading the love at Ball State,” Ewing said. “I want to let people feel a part of this community.” Ewing said she feel humbled receiving a spot on court. “I always look up to the people who get it ... it’s something I can be proud of looking back at my time at Ball State.”
Morgan Clark, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc. Morgan Clark, a senior psychology and criminal justice major, feels she could be a great role model for everyone on campus. “I feel like I am what a true Cardinal is,” Clark said. “I give back to my community. I give back to those in school. I just want to make a difference on this campus before I graduate.” Clark said she broke out of her comfort zone by running for queen. “I’ve never been the type to try out for Homecoming Queen or do pageants,” Clark said. “This is just breaking another barrier for me.”
Brittany Mayfield, Education in Action
Brittany Mayfield, a junior elementary education major, wants to use the title to represent education for the community and university. “I don’t think teachers get enough pride and honest opinions,” Mayfield said. “Since next year is our centennial for the Teacher’s College, I’ll be really stoked about representing the education community.”
MALE COURT MEMBERS: Hunter Okey, University Singers
Hunter Okey, a junior interpersonal communications major, wants to represent both his university and his organization. “I love Ball State,” Okey said. “I want to represent the organization that I love at the place I love, so tying that all together would be great.” Okey also said being on the court will be a special experience.

Students to race beds on Riverside Avenue
The Bed Races are an annual Ball State Homecoming event surrounded by history, excitement Justice Amick Reporter Since 1980, students have been looking forward to a unique Homecoming week event: The Bed Races. This year’s competition will be at 11 a.m. Friday on Riverside Avenue. During the race, teams of five push a bed frame on wheels 100 yards and attempt to achieve the fastest time for their division. Divisions include males, females, alumni and faculty. “Originally, when this started, they were just really dinky beds with really tiny wheels and they would just wobble. But we eventually got these custom beds made,” said Catherine Burgess, president of the Homecoming Steering Committee. Each team is encouraged to dress up, but four team members must push the frame, and one must ride on the mattress that sits on top of it. Burgess said there is no definite strategy to the race, but she has noticed it helps to have the
strongest people pushing the bed and the heaviest person on the bed to keep it from lifting off the ground. However, she said it is most important to “just have fun.” “We have such an amazing turn out for Bed Race every year because of how much fun the event is,” said Mandy Haupt, the special events chair of the Homecoming steering committee. “This is the perfect way to get into the Homecoming spirit right before the Homecoming football game. Students love to participate in this event and keep it alive.” Haupt said the event isn’t just fun for those who compete and everyone is welcome to attend whether they are racing or spectating. “Students can stand around the outside of the fence and cheer their organization on and we are always looking for Bed Race student volunteers each year,” Haupt said.

Last year’s Air Jam competition took place at John R. Emens Auditorium on Oct. 20, 2016. REAGAN ALLEN, DN FILE
The lip-sync battle is an entertaining, fun Homecoming Week tradition at Ball State. Evan Weaver Reporter One of the biggest traditions of Ball State’s Homecoming Week returns at 8 p.m. in John R. Emens Auditorium with 19 teams vying for multiple Air Jam titles. Last year, more teams than usual competed in the lip-sync show thanks to the addition of a second round of competition. This year, the Homecoming steering committee decided to go back to one show, though they used a new method to choose performers. “They used to camp out and everything so it was just a big safety hazard with UPD and with our own students,” said Catherine Burgess, president of the steering committee. “So, we did a raffle, just a random drawing, and the first 20 [teams] get to be in it.” While the cutoff for teams was 20, only 19 applied, so all of the applicants get to participate in the show. In addition to the overall winner, Burgess said applicants can win prizes for different categories such as Greek life, residence hall and independent. “This year we’re actually working on actually
having a prize,” Burgess said. “Usually there’s a trophy and everything but you’re the Air Jam Greek winner or independent winner and everything like that. But hopefully this year there actually is a prize because it is fun to actually have something tangible.” There will be seven judges this year, all of which are Ball State alumni. The teams are judged based on costumes, music, choreography and how clean the dancing and lip-synching are. All scores from the judges are averaged to help decide the winners. Burgess said everyone should attend Air Jam at least once in college. “It’s one of the biggest traditions at Ball State and throughout Homecoming Week,” she said. “It’s a lot of fun.

‘Live art’ to be performed at Emens ‘Artrageous’ brings dancing, puppetry to stage
Tiny Royalty
Homecoming Committee debuts “Prince and Princess” program
Competition replaces faculty, staff royalty with children Max Lewis Reporter
BALL STATE UNIVERSITY, PHOTO PROVIDED
Adam Pannel Reporter A night of dancing, puppetry, live art and more is coming to Ball State with “Artrageous” at 7:30 p.m. Friday in John R. Emens Auditorium. “Artrageous” is an interactive music and art show that showcases the range of both the fine and performing arts. A variety of artistic forms will be on display, from live-action painting to Japanese puppetry. Producer and troupe member John de Wolf said the mission of “Artrageous” is to animate and bring different art forms to life. One art form in particular is Bunraku puppetry, which originated in Japan. Three people are dressed head-to-toe in black to remain unseen while they operate an inanimate figure. “Our goal in Bunraku is to have an inanimate form come to life,” de Wolf said. “They key is that the three puppeteers are placing their intentions on the puppet and creating an energetic field around that form.” There are many different artists involved with “Artrageous,” but Lauri Francis, the show’s
producer, said they all remain united through the art of performing and their friendship with one another. “We’re really great friends. We like to travel together,” Francis said. “We’re super passionate about bringing the arts into communities, especially for children.” The show also has an educational outreach program where the troupe performs and talks to children about the importance of the arts in their lives and schools. “We talk about how important the arts are not only for your heart, but they’re also really important for your brain,” Francis said. “We just try to inspire kids to keep doing the arts and find something they’re really passionate about.” Francis has been part of the group since she graduated high school in Ontario, Canada. Desk and office jobs didn’t appeal to Francis, so she called her aunt, a member of the original “Artrageous” troupe, and asked if she could visit. After visiting, she said she realized there was “more out there,” and she could find it by being part of “Artrageous.” Contact Adam Pannel with comments at arpannel@bsu.edu.
A Homecoming king and queen are crowned every year, but this year, the court will include some royal companions. In the past, the Homecoming steering committee crowned faculty and staff royalty in addition to student royalty. However, they didn’t receive the kind of feedback they wanted. That’s why this year they decided to end faculty and staff royalty and offer a new competition where children and grandchildren of Ball State alumni compete for the title of Homecoming prince and princess. “One family was from Florida who said that they were coming up for Homecoming, so that was fun to see,” said Catherine Burgess, Homecoming steering committee president. “Obviously, some local people, and even like professors, their kids applied. It was really cool to see the different demographics.” The committee received around 35 applicants this year, and with help from the Alumni Center, chose one boy and one girl to be prince and princess. “It has been a blast getting to work with the families that applied for our first year of the Prince and Princess Program,” said community engagement chair Hanna Kadinger. “I can’t wait to meet our prince and princess when they arrive at the parade on Saturday.” The prince is 6-year-old Asher Bane. His hometown is Muncie and he is the son of Ashlee Bane, who graduated from Ball State in 2004 and 2006. The princess is 5-year-old Audrey Fisher. She
is from Lane Estero, Florida, and is the daughter of Adam Fisher, who graduated in 2004. “The prince and princess get to walk out on the football field at halftime and get introduced along with the rest of the royalty court and the committee,” Burgess said. “They get to ride in their own convertible in the parade, so it’s a fun day for them.” The steering committee got the idea from other universities that do similar programs. To
“It has been a blast getting to work with the families that applied for our first year of the Prince and Princess Program.” - HANNA KADINGER, Community engagement chair win, contestants had to go through an application process where they had to answer questions about why they love Ball State, and submit a photo of them in their Cardinals apparel. “It has really gotten the [alumni] more excited about Homecoming, or even thinking about coming back and thinking about their kids as well,” Burgess said. “Kind of tying the two together, because they could be legacies and it’s our job after Ball State to kind of give back and help promote the good word of Ball State.” Contact Max Lewis with comments at lmaxwell2@bsu.edu or on Twitter at @MaxLewisReports.

At 5:30 a.m. Saturday, Hannah Fluhler can be found in the Muncie Central High School parking lot making sure chalk markers are visible and everything is set for participants in the Homecoming Parade. Fluhler is the parade chair for the Homecoming steering committee and must make sure that every band, float, car and group is in the correct spot and ready to march. The parade is “an integration with the Muncie community and the Ball State campus,” Fluhler said, and is filled with a wide variety of groups, businesses and clubs from throughout the community. “Ball State plays a large role in the Muncie community and vice versa, so having an event where the two parade through the city and campus together works as a great way for the community to express their pride in Ball State tradition,” Fluhler said. Catherine Burgess, president of the Homecoming steering committee, said the
parade is a popular event that many people take advantage of to promote their business, organization, or even Girl Scout or Boy Scout troops. Because the event is so popular, Burgess said the committee had to raise the prices to be involved in the parade. This year, it cost $100 to have a float and $75 to have a car or walking group in the parade. All of the money raised will go toward next year’s Homecoming budget. The parade will travel from Muncie Central High School to North McKinley Avenue and will pass a panel of judges on the corner of McKinley and University avenues across from Two Cats Cafe. The judges range from university employees to Ball State alumni and rank floats based on various categories including how well a float goes with the theme, “Cardinals Around the World,” originality and enthusiasm. Both Fluhler and Burgess encourage the community to catch the parade and all of the hard work that has been put into it before they go to tailgate or enjoy other Homecoming festivities.

While the Ball State community prepares for this weekend’s Homecoming festivities, over 200 students in the Pride of Mid-America Marching Band have been working toward it for weeks. “Our Saturday starts well before our 9:45 a.m. parade step-off.” said Vanessa Ramos, saxophone section leader. Throughout the semester, the band meets every Monday, Wednesday and Friday on LaFollette Field to run through songs and practice marching in formation. During the practices, they prepare for upcoming events and performances, including the Homecoming parade. On Saturday, the band will march in the two-mile parade while playing the Fight Song alongside floats, cars and horses. In the past, those in the parade have had to perform in various weather extremes such as rain, heat and cold. The parade begins at Muncie Central High School, and once it has concluded the band must attend another practice before the football game at 3 p.m., where they must always be ready to
perform. While the demanding schedule leaves little time for other Homecoming activities, Sarah Wagner, a clarinet section leader, said playing for the students and alumni in the atmosphere provided by Homecoming is exciting. “It’s nice to see a crowd in Scheumann Stadium,” Wagner said. “When others are invested in the game, it makes it more enjoyable to play, dance and cheer in the stands.” Contact Matt Keyser with comments at mdkeyser@bsu.edu.

Avery Haynes, Black Student Association Avery Haynes, a junior business information systems major, wants to bring a good face to Ball State as a member of the court. “I feel like I can represent the people well for the inclusion and mental preparation, and as a socialite to Ball State’s campus,” Haynes said.
