Weekend Parents flock to Ball State to visit students PATRICK CALVERT GENERAL REPORTER | pcalvert@bsu.edu
A
n influx of families is expected on campus for Ball State’s Family Weekend starting today. Every fall, Ball State University invites students, faculty, staff and their families to campus for a weekend of festivities that include Halloween Astronomy, Rock and Bowl, a 5k run/ walk, a football game, a golf outing and much more.

« I don’t think it’s embarrassing. At least, not to me. My parents have never come, or my family, but if they would, I wouldn’t be embarrassed. It’d just be fun and an excuse just to see them. »
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF FAMILY WEEKEND?
« My mom and dad are coming. It’s my dad’s birthday, too. I don’t
really know about many of the events, but I’m just excited to see my parents because I haven’t seen them in awhile. I think it’s a good way to have your parents come and see you. I know a lot of friends haven’t seen their parents since August.

« I believe my grandma is coming down this weekend. The plan is to go to the
EVAN KISER, freshman hospitality and food management major
game; a game is always exciting. I haven’t actually [gone] to a football game yet, but if there is a game to go to, then this would be the one to go to. We will probably go and grab some food somewhere, not sure where, but we will figure it out. Personally, I don’t think it’s an embarrassing thing. I like having the family up just to see campus. I feel like my parents worry that it’s an embarrassing thing, but I don’t think it’s too much of an embarrassing thing. I don’t really know what to say for the rest of the [student] population, but you should be proud of your elders.
« I think it’s a good thing for the school. It gets more people here, and if younger siblings are coming, then it will show them that [Ball State] is a good college to go to. » ANDREW JONES, sophomore computer science major

Ball State plans to tackle student diversity concerns University report reveals areas that need improvement

During field hockey games and practices at the Briner Sports Complex, first-year head coach Sally Northcroft’s unique accent drowns out the dull roar of McGalliard Road. With heavy influences from her Zimbabwe origins and slight hints of her time in the United States and Australia, the Ball State alumna’s voice mirrors her path across the globe. Language was one of many unexpected changes she experienced when she first arrived in the United States in 1996. “There was a huge culture shock,” Northcroft said. “It’s

Plans are now in motion to address concerns and recommendations students had about diversity issues at the Beneficence Dialogue. A report of these sessions was sent out Friday, Oct. 16, by Ro Anne Royer Engle, director of the Multicultural Center. The report was compiled solely from student input and was not altered by the administration at all, Royer Engle said. “We looked at recommendations made over and over by multiple students and those are the ones that came to the top,” Royer Engle said.

The Beneficence Dialogue had two sessions March 30. Led by faculty and staff, 123 students talked in small groups about diversity issues, while Ball State President Paul W. Ferguson and Kay Bales, vice president for student affairs and dean of students, listened to the different groups. One of the concerns of students was the university marketing itself as diverse, while many students feel it is not. The solutions they recommended for this included improving marketing strategies to attract diverse student populations and ensuring marketing images reflect the true diversity of the student population. Another concern highlighted how students of privilege are not aware of diversity issues. Some of the proposed solutions included launching a required diversity course or
seminar in the core curriculum and expanding the diversity peer advocate program, which presents diversity workshops to students and organizations. Since she works so closely with diversity and inclusion issues at the university, Royer Engle said the concerns were not too surprising to her. “I think, for us, it was really important to get student recommendations and hear their concerns but also get thoughts on how the university can proceed,” Royer Engle said. Carlos Mata, president of the Latino Student Union, said the concerns were accurate, especially regarding the university’s marketing on diversity. However, he said there is only so much administration can do; students need to get involved to make a change. THE PULSE OF BALL STATE

Over the past 15 years, the Chase Charlie races have become a Ball State tradition. The 5K, Mile Mania and the Kiddie 100 have been staples during Family Weekend. This year, the Sport Administration 402 class that coordinates the event will add a virtual race for individuals who want to participate in the 5K but will not be in Muncie. During the virtual race participants will be able to run the distance on their own time, use a timing device of their choice, and submit their running time to the Chase Charlie results Web page on chasecharlie.com.
Five committees
With Ball State’s emphasis on immersive learning, it became increasingly important to give students the reins in coordinating and directing the races, said Liz Wanless, assistant professor of sport administration. The students alone cover everything from operations to guest services to finances for the Chase Charlie Races. Morgan Olson and Ben Snider, senior sport administration majors, are this year’s event directors. Under Wanless’ instruction, the two event directors lead the class, however, they have chosen a divide and conquer method in managing their committees. Olson oversees guest services and operations, which mainly focuses on sign-ups.

The Chase Charlie Races have become a tradition for Family Weekend with the 5K, Mile Mania and the Kiddie 100 for the past 15 years. This year, there will be an additional event: a virtual race for those that want to participate, but won’t be in Muncie the day of the race.
“[Operations] has a massive list of things they take care of,” Olson said. “Anything you think would physically go into a race.” This committee sets up everything for the race, including measuring the courses, as well as finding volunteers and purchasing shirts and medals. Snider oversees the marketing, sales and revenue and finance committees. He explained marketing’s main goal for this year is to make people aware of the races. “Last year, we had just under 200 people attend the event, so this year the goal is to break 200,” Snider said. The sales and revenue committee oversees race sponsors. “One big thing [Wanless] really emphasizes is sponsorship because in the sport
industry you have to get sponsorships for basically everything,” Olson said. “This class demands the students to physically go out and get a picture with a business owner, asking if they want to sponsor the race.” While each student must have a hand in getting event sponsors, the sales and revenue committee manages those sponsorships.
Community engagement
Last year, the event lost approximately $300, so this year the finance committee’s goal is to avoid loss. “In my opinion $300 is worth it for the experience to run an event…but it’s not a good lesson for students …it’s good for the experience, but you don’t want to teach students to run an event that doesn’t make
money,” Snider said. The class also wants to make the Chase Charlie races more community-centered by grabbing the attention of kids in Muncie. To do this, they are advertising at the YMCA, the Boys and Girls Club and pitching presentations in Muncie elementary schools. With these goals in mind, the class decided to make some updates to the races, such as new T-shirts and a change of atmosphere. “For the environment, we want everything to be really up-to-date and upbeat. We will have a DJ out there which will make it really fun…and we are going to try to be excited the whole time,” Olson said. She and Snider laughed at the idea of trying to remain upbeat, knowing they will
Prices for the races range from $8 to $35, depending on the package participants choose and whether they pre-register. Proceeds from the races will go to the Sport Administration Fund for Excellence, which gives students the opportunity to attend conferences. “The money really does help out a lot. Six students were just chosen to go to a conference in October, and everyone who has gone has gotten an internship,” Olson said. Olson and Snider both stressed the importance of the conferences and how planning the Chase Charlie races helps Ball State students stand out from the crowd. “One thing our professors are really good at is understanding that sport isn’t just textbooks,” Olson said. “When we go to conferences, [we] can say to potential employers that we were able to put on a 5K,” Olson said. Wanless agreed and explained that Ball State’s sport administration program has given students the opportunity to gain an understanding for the real world through immersive learning.

F
amily Weekend is a good excuse to break out of your regular campus routine and show Mom and Pop the beauty of Ball State. Besides, do you really want to show your parents how much Netflix you’ve been watching while eating Taco Bell? Many families plan to attend the football game, but other parts of campus roll out the red carpet for families as well. Here are some Family Weekend events you might overlook, but could give you and your family a memorable experience. HALLOWEEN ASTRONOMY AT THE PLANETARIUM:
Impress your family with a visit to the Charles W. Brown Planetarium. They are doing a show that features the skies on Halloween. It’s free, but plan to get there early because shows can fill up. If your family isn’t into stargazing, this show continues through Halloween. 6:30 p.m. Friday, 6:30 and 8 p.m. Saturday, Charles W. Brown Planetarium COMMUNITY DAY AT THE DAVID OWSLEY MUSEUM OF ART
The art museum opens its doors on Sunday for Community Day. It’s a great day to visit the museum if you’re museum-shy because there are lots of people, free food and music, in addition to the art. The museum will also have special programming and art demonstrations. City of Muncie employees will also be honored for the city’s 150th anniversary. 1:30 p.m. Sunday, David Owsley Museum of Art
BELL TOWER RECITAL:
Sure, you’ve got tons of Instagram pics of the bell tower, but have you ever seen campus from it? This recital could be your chance. The organist and carillonneur (that means he can play bells in a tower) John Gouwens will perform at the base of the bell tower. Then, he’s giving tours in the tower. That’s not an opportunity that comes around every day. 11 a.m. Saturday, Shafer Tower BREAKFAST WITH CHARLIE:
If you have a meal plan (or know someone with a meal plan), don’t miss Breakfast with Charlie. Pictures with Charlie are great, but a free buffet is better. And your parents will be happy they don’t have to spend money. Students with meal plans get two free guest meals. No mimosas, though. The menu includes ham, a farmer’s casserole, Belgian waffles with a topper bar and portobello mushroom ravioli in alfredo sauce. 9 a.m. to noon Sunday, Noyer Complex

Relationship norms change over time Ball State seniors are quick to plan their lives together

AMANDA BELCHER EVENT REPORTER albelcher@bsu.edu
Zane Bishop and Courtney Stetzel sit on separate chairs, but the slight distance doesn’t hinder their connection. They’re clearly on the same wavelength, just stopping short of finishing each other’s sentences. Stetzel and Bishop got engaged a month and a half ago after dating for one year and nine months. They’re both Ball State seniors — Bishop an urban planning major and Stetzel a marketing major. The couple will get married shortly after graduation. They’ve known they’ve wanted it that way for a while. “We sought a lot of advice from people who would be honest with us and wouldn’t tell us what we wanted to hear,” Stetzel said. Chadwick Menning, an associate professor of sociology, said that quick engagements are not a current trend in society. “There was a period after World War II when people were getting married very young, and often after very brief courtships, but those trends have shifted over time,” he said. The reason for the shift is partly due to people focusing on their own careers before marriage, Menning said. Stetzel and Bishop haven’t abandoned their future aspirations. They’ve just taken a different route than their peers. “We knew we would rather pursue our careers together rather than apart. We knew that we could still reach our personal goals as a married couple,” Stetzel said. “I think
it will cause us less stress because we get to be married to each other while working on our careers. … I’m excited to support my best friend as he pursues things he is really passionate about.” Dating has changed over time, too. There are new stages, and people are getting to know each other differently, like by hanging out in a group or meeting on online dating sites, Menning said. “Netflix and chill” has become the new dinner-and-amovie for some. “Repeated hookups with the same person often lead to a move by one partner or the other to define the relationship, so hooking up is not necessarily as distinct from dating as we might believe,” Menning said. Stetzel and Bishop are happy with their impending marriage, but some college students’ engagements don’t work out. Erin Bau, a junior philanthropy major at Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis, had been dating her boyfriend for two years when they got engaged. “We moved in together and got a dog, and it felt like the next step. We both wanted to show each other that we were serious about each other and our future together,” she said. The engagement lasted only three months, but Bau said she doesn’t regret it at all. There were many reasons they didn’t stay together, she said. “We moved into an apartment that was pretty small, and we were both stressed, so that caused issues. … We also changed a little bit over the summer and wanted different things from each other,” Bau said. Kelsey Smith, a sophomore art education major,

Ball State seniors Zane Bishop and Courtney Stetzel got engaged after dating for one year and nine months. The two plan to get married shortly after their graduation.
is a bit skeptical of quick engagements. “I mean, you love who you love, but coming from someone who’s been in a relationship for three years, … it takes a while to actually know someone and everything about them,” she said. Bishop and Stetzel experienced some of that skepticism when they got engaged. Most of Bishop’s family supported the move, but some said they were “too young.” Anyone who really knew the couple was fine with the engagement, Bishop said. “You just have to prioritize your happiness. … Do what’s best for you as a couple. Your relationship is where you have to live,” Stetzel said. Getting married before age 20 and engagements of fewer than six months increase the risk of divorce, Menning said, but so do engagements that last more than three years. “Beyond this, though, we need to be careful not to assume too much about people’s end goals,” he said.
“Marriage may remain the ideal for many people, but people are also increasingly co-habiting or single.” In 1996, 2.9 million unmarried couples lived together, according to the U.S. Census. In 2012, that number increased to 7.8 million. Alyssa Humburg has been married since August, after an eight-month engagement to her now-husband Dylan Humburg. The two Ball State students dated a year before tying the knot, but Alyssa said that they had been seriously thinking about marriage six months into their relationship. “We truly knew that we wanted to spend forever with each other. When you know, you know. In our mind, we knew we would get married eventually, so why not sooner than later?” Alyssa said. The Humburgs didn’t live together during their engagement. Alyssa lived in the dorms. “I did stay at his house with
his roommates a lot,” she said. “ I think that it helped our relationship grow quicker because we were around each other more. We knew what we liked and disliked with our habits and we learned to love every quirk.” Stetzel and Bishop won’t live together until they’re married as well. That might not be until next June — the month they have planned for their wedding. “We’re really involved in our church. That influenced our decision on not living together, but we aren’t critical of people who live together, and we also realize that not everyone holds the same belief as us,” Stetzel said. Relationship trends didn’t sway Bau from getting engaged, and even though her relationship didn’t last, she doesn’t think that should affect what other couples choose to do. “I think the important thing [for couples] is knowing themselves, knowing a little bit better of how it’s going to go,” she said.

KATHRYN HAMPSHIRE THEATRE REPORTER kmhampshire@bsu.edu
In the second Edward S. Strother Studio Theatre show of the semester, student actors tackle a musical with songs by the legendary Stephen Sondheim and a plot that goes backward. “Merrily We Roll Along” begins with a party at the home of Franklin Shepard, a wealthy, influential and miserable Hollywood film producer. The musical rewinds three years prior, then five years—incrementally traveling backward in time and eventually ending almost 20 years before the first scene. The audience sees Shepard as he began—“a young, optimistic and eager composer looking for work in New York City,” said Jeff Pierpoint, the senior musical theatre major who plays Shepard. Charley Kringas, another character in the play, is a writer and lyricist who “hopes to change the world through his writing and work with his collaborator and best friend Frank,” said Evan Duff, a junior musical theatre major who is playing Charley in the production. Together, Frank and Charley are working to write a musical called “Taking a Left.” Throughout the process however, the artists’ integrities “take a backseat,” Duff said. “What’s so difficult for Charley is to have a best friend who’s brilliant that could do so many great things and to see that potential squandered by petty distractions, like money, women and fame,” he said. Seeing Shepard’s life moments—the successes and failures—lets the audience look introspectively at their

General Public-$14 Students-$12 own lives and decisions. “As we watch Franklin putting off his dreams, the show continually asks the audience to look back on their own lives and consider how they pursued their dreams, and how their dreams changed,” Pierpoint said. Although not all theatrical performances utilize a directly chronological timeline, presenting a show that’s story order goes entirely backward has presented a unique challenge to the actors, especially in terms of individual character arcs and the interactions between them. “It’s so difficult because you’ll do one scene where you are incredibly angry with a character because of something they’ve done,” Duff said. “Then in the next scene you are fine with them because they haven’t yet done the thing that makes you so angry yet in the timeline.” In order to aid the actors with this difficult process, Michael Elliott had them learn the show “in reverse of the reverse,” explained senior musical theatre major Casey Prins, who plays Gussie Carnegie in the show. “We started [five acts before the end] in order to experience our characters together chronologically,” she said. “Now going back, it’s cool to see how we have developed through rehearsal.” This approach to the storyline helps explore what

made the characters who they are. The show features music by Sondheim, who Pierpoint called “the Shakespeare of musical theatre.” “[Sondheim’s] music is complex and utterly brilliant,” he said. “It has been a wonderful challenge learning and mastering all the music in order to properly do justice to Sondheim’s genius and the story he is trying to tell.” This show also gave the actors the chance to learn from professionals in their field: the cast and crew worked with Liz Callaway, who played the role of Mary Flynn in the original Broadway, as well as Michael Rafter, the musical director and an arrangement writer for the
first Broadway revival. “This was an outstanding opportunity to get feedback from industry professionals who helped create the show,” Pierpoint said. The musical is also about being a performer, which inspired the actors to draw from their experiences and personal aspirations while they put together the show. “It’s a huge gift as an actor to be playing a character whose dreams are so aligned with my own,” Duff said. “I can really resonate with who Charley is and what he wants and why it is so difficult for him when he watches his dreams and friendships wither away.” Pierpoint said the show reflected the community aspect of the performing arts.
“[The characters] are working as hard as they can to make their dreams come to life, and relying so heavily on each other to do so,” Pierpoint said. “We all rely so heavily on each other in this cast and in our major that we really relate to the notion of pursuing our dreams and helping each other no matter what.” Several of the actors said the show is about perseverance and not letting the little things get in the way of big dreams. “Life will always have its hardships—people come and people go, dreams change,” said senior musical theatre major Brandy Drzymkowski, who plays Beth in the production. “But in the end, right here, right now, as students in particular, we can do anything, be anything. It’s up to us to make the change and to pursue, to reach out and grab life. It’s our time.”

Ball State secondary vs. Central Michigan quarterback
Ball State running backs vs. Central Michigan linebackers
Ball State pass rush vs. Central Michigan offensive line
Ball State run defense vs. Central Michigan rushing offense
Ball State: The Cardinals’ secondary continues to struggle, a trend that has cost them all season. Last week, Georgia State racked up 412 yards through the air, bringing Ball State’s average yards allowed per game to 295 on the season. Central Michigan: Quarterback Cooper Rush has the 10th most passing yards in the Football Bowl Subdivision this year. Rush is 11th in completion percentage and tied for 12th for touchdowns with 16. Edge: Central Michigan. Ball State struggled to contain Nick Arbuckle, and Central Michigan is another pass-heavy team. The Chippewas have picked up 98 of their 151 first downs through the air. Look for Rush to push his offense down the field to score early and often.
Ball State: The rushing attack got off to a hot start, but has slowed down. Through the last three games, running backs Darian Green and James Gilbert are averaging 3.4 yards per carry. Central Michigan: The Chippewas have been allowing 4.2 yards per carry to opposing teams this season. Central Michigan has proven it can get through the line, however, racking up 29 tackles for loss with just six coming from sacks. Edge: Ball State. Gilbert is a power back and should be able to plow his way through the Chippewas’ defense. Green has the speed and explosiveness to score every time he touches the ball. The one-two punch has hit a rough patch lately, but this game looks to be a bounce back.
Ball State: The Cardinals have recorded 11 sacks on the season, just over 1.5 a game. Even if they are not getting the sack, the defense can disrupt the quarterback to try and force some bad decisions. Central Michigan: The Chippewas’ offensive line has allowed 15 sacks this season. Cooper Rush is able to escape the pocket and turn up field, but the sack total is troubling. Edge: Ball State. Though the Cardinals haven’t had a lot of success generating sacks, Central Michigan has had an even harder time stopping them. Look for Ball State to get after Rush and try to force some turnovers for its struggling secondary.
Ball State: Run defense is another issue for Ball State. The Cardinals are letting teams run for 4.6 yards per carry. Last week against Georgia State, however, the Cardinals allowed just 33 yards on 32 carries. Central Michigan: The Chippewas’ run game is averaging three yards per carry on the season. Central Michigan splits carries in the backfield, as three running backs have 50 or more this season. Edge: Central Michigan. The Chippewas don’t have a feature back, but their three running backs all have over 150 yards on the season. The ability to keep fresh backs in the game may be just enough to gain some yards with the Ball State secondary keying on Rush’s arm.

Sitting at 2-5 with its back against the wall, Ball State (2-5, 1-2) will play Central Michigan (3-4, 2-1) on Saturday. The Chippewas have one of the top quarterbacks in the Mid-American Conference and in the nation. Redshirt junior Cooper Rush has thrown for 2,084 yards thus far, which is second in the conference and 10th in the country. One of the things head coach Pete Lembo took note of was Central Michigan’s offensive unit, particularly the guys protecting their star quarterback. “One thing you can always count on is their offensive line is going to be big and physical,” Lembo said. “The right tackle number 74, [Derek] Edwards, is only a sophomore, and he may be the best one they have.” The Ball State defense is allowing 491 yards per game.
Ball State’s secondary could be in for a long day if it can’t find a way to contain Central Michigan’s passing attack. No active Central Michigan player has defeated Ball State. The Cardinals have won the last five meetings against the Chippewas—including a 32-29 thriller in Mount Pleasant last season, when alumnus Scott Secor kicked a 55-yard field goal with 17 seconds left. This time around, though, the Chippewas come in as favorites to knock down the Cardinals at Scheumann Stadium. Central Michigan has a 3-4 record, but this could be a result of its tough schedule this season. “I think they’re really a terrific football team,” Lembo said. “They’ve played a very, very challenging out-of-conference schedule this year and competed very well in it.” Central Michigan allows 154 yards per game on the ground, which is the fifth worst in the MAC. It has allowed 11 scores via the run game, which should bode well for running backs Darian Green and James Gilbert. This may be a game where the
dynamic duo returns to their ground-and-pound mentality. During the first four games of the season, Green averaged over 100 yards per game. In his last three performances, his numbers have dropped down to 39 per game. Gilbert is also struggling, averaging 42 in the last three games. Green and Gilbert’s production struggles may be due to the defense’s stacking the box, sometimes with eight defenders focused on the run. This will likely be the same story Saturday, as Central Michigan will look to force freshman quarterback Riley Neal to lead the offense to its first victory with him as the starter. Central Michigan’s pass defense ranks second in the MAC, allowing 171 yards through the air per game. Neal will have his opportunities, but he will have to be careful to avoid mistakes. Neal has committed a turnover in each of his starts so far. Lembo has yet to lose to Central Michigan but understands its talent across the board. “I think it’s a very solid team

in all three phases,” Lembo said. “We’ve been in a bunch of close games with these guys, and every one of them has been a battle.” The Cardinals will need to win this game to avoid losing their fifth in a row, which would tie Lembo’s worst streak during his time at Ball State. In a game that will likely be played in wet conditions with a 50 percent chance of rain in Muncie around kickoff, each team may rely heavily on the rushing game. Ball State and Central Michigan will kick off at 3 p.m. Saturday at Scheumann Stadium.

Field hockey team keeps high hopes
DN FILE PHOTO BROOK HAYNES
Team must win last 3 games to advance to playoffs

DAVID K. JONES FIELD HOCKEY REPORTER dkjones@bsu.edu
Ball State’s field hockey team is one game away from being eliminated from playoff contention. With three games remaining, the Cardinals need to win all three along, with both Missouri State (5-10) and Longwood (5-9-1) los-
ing their remaining games. Despite the low odds, head coach Sally Northcroft believes the four Mid-American Conference tournament seeds are still up for grabs. “The competition is wide open,” Northcroft said. “Every time we have an opportunity to get better, we’re going to take it.” In order to qualify for the MAC tournament, teams have to be ranked in the top four after the regular season. The Cardinals are currently on a three-year drought of not making the playoffs
after being knocked out in the first round of the 201011 season. Ball State (2-12, 0-3 MAC) is currently last in the conference but is mathematically still in contention for the last seed of the tournament. Next up on the schedule for the Cardinals are the Missouri State Bears. While Missouri State is currently sitting on a 5-10 (2-2) record, it’s 2-6 on the road. Northcroft said her team is a group of fighters that is constantly looking for ways to get better.
“The team has a fabulous work ethic,” Northcroft said. “They’re really motivated to learn and work hard.” Northcroft has been consistent all year with her beliefs that winning and losing isn’t always indicated by the team’s record—but its record needs to be up to par if the Cardinals want to play into November. Ball State faces off against Missouri State Saturday at Briner Sports Complex and will need to win in order to keep its playoff hopes alive.

The Ball State field hockey team has not made the playoffs in three years. There are three games remaining, and the team needs to win all three in order to make the playoffs. Junior midfielder Mikayla Mooney has started every game this season and has scored two goals.
NORTHCROFT: | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 She left the land down under in February 2015 to reignite a Cardinal field hockey program that has not had a winning record since 1999—Northcroft’s senior season. That year, she set Mid-American Conference records with 52 goals and 107 points. During her career she had 126 career goals and 270 career points, all of which stand until this day. She won the Honda Award as the nation’s top field hockey player and, for the second consecutive season, earned both MAC Player of the Year and All-American honors. She was first-team All-MAC in all four years of her Ball State career and still holds the NCAA Division I records for goals scored in a single game (7) and goals per game in a single season (2.74). Northcroft came back to Muncie for the same reason she went to Australia, and the same reason she was so successful on the field. “If you don’t take the shot, you’ll never score,” Northcroft said. “If you don’t make the move and see what it’s about and jump in 100 percent, you’re never gonna learn. You’re never gonna know and you’ll have regrets.”
GROWING UP IN WAR
Before all of the jobs, records and accolades, Northcroft was born just outside of Harare, Zimbabwe—then known as Salisbury, Rhodesia—in 1976. At the time, the then-British colony was involved in the Rhodesian Bush War. Her father, Donald Northcroft, had retired from the Royal Rhodesian Air Force, but the violence was inescapable. In 1977, when Sally was just one year old, her

Head coach Sally Northcroft began her coaching career as an assistant at Ball State in 2000. She also set many records at the school as a player and won MAC Player of the Year two times. father was killed when Zimbabwean militants attacked his farm. “It was a very tragic incident in how he was killed, and my mom was left to deal with two small kids,” Sally said. “We had to move from the farm into the city in a time when women were not given many jobs or provided with much financial assistance, so I guess my mom really filled the void for both parents and did absolutely everything she could to provide for my brother and I.” Her mother did her best to provide them with a normal life, Sally said. They would visit her father’s family members during the holidays, watch black-and-white TV and, of course, travel to field hockey games. But even after Zimbabwe was officially recognized as an independent country in 1980, the racial tension and violence remained. “I grew up in a time when everybody had a rifle in their car and there was a lot of violence and very sad stories about people losing their lives,” Sally said. “Most of my childhood … you knew there was a difference between white and black and, unfortunately, the generation older than me grew
up with a very strong racial discriminatory bent.” More tragedy struck Sally as a teenager. “When I was 16, my best friend was killed in a car accident, and I was supposed to be in the car with her,” she said. “It was New Year’s Eve, and, all of the sudden, I was dealing with the loss of a friend, [and] I thought we were going to live forever, that sort of thing … You don’t know when things will change, and things will, and you’ve gotta be able to deal with it.” Sally said her mindset of living in the moment developed through her losses and was influenced by her mother, who left her home of Durban, South Africa at age 18.
MOVING TO MUNCIE
When Sally decided to leave Zimbabwe to play for the Cardinals, her mom was supportive of her decision. One of the main reasons Ball State landed Northcroft’s services was the first letter of its name. “This is all before email, which makes me sound really old, but I don’t feel like it. So I had sent some letters to universities from an almanac,” Sally said. “I got to about the letter ‘D’ and I got

bored, so Ball State was one of the schools I contacted.” In retrospect, Sally was happy to have settled in Muncie. She said one of the best things that ever happened to her was being able to come to a place where she could get to know people for who they were rather than their background or skin color. Sally grew up without her father, but she had a mentor while at Ball State in field hockey coach Karen Fitzpatrick. “I think Fitz was one of those people that you meet that are a one-in-a-lifetime kind of person,” Sally said. “She was absolutely pivotal in me becoming the player I was, and I needed structure and somebody that understood me. I needed somebody that could hold me accountable but could also see my potential and believed in me.” As bright as Sally’s star burned at Ball State, it paled in comparison to Fitzpatrick’s accomplishments. In her 21-year career, Fitzpatrick led Ball State to 16 Mid-American Conference regular-season titles and 10 tournament championships. She is also an 11-time MAC Coach of the Year. Sally started off her coaching career as a Ball State assistant coach in 2000, Fitzpatrick’s final season. Fitzpatrick had high hopes for Sally from the beginning. “I had hoped she would take over when I left, actually, but, at that time, there were other things going on in her life,” Fitzpatrick said. “So when this happened, I was excited for her. I mean, she called and we talked for a long time about what the potential is for the program, and I was very excited to hear that she was even interested.” Olympic dreams were one of the factors contributing to
why Sally was apprehensive about coaching. Zimbabwe was again in turmoil at the turn of the millennium, and before she attended Ball State, she almost had an opportunity to represent her home country. “I missed out on a selection to the national team when I was 18, and my mom, in her wise words, said, ‘Well, you clearly weren’t good enough,’” Sally laughed. “Which, you know, if you’re good enough, no matter where you are, you’ll be picked on a team.” Fitzpatrick said she believes Sally’s personality and experiences will lend themselves well to coaching. “I did work with Sally for a year as a coach, and she’s a great motivator,” Fitzpatrick said. “She has high expectations, and that’s why I feel like she’ll be successful as a coach. She understands the game, she understands the competitiveness that’s involved to be successful. She’s a good technical player as well. Those are all things that I think contribute to successful coaching.” Sally eventually left the United States in 2004 to coach field hockey at Somerset in Australia.
LIFE OF A COACH
Although Sally continued to move forward, her past shaped her path, said Michael Brohier, deputy headmaster of Somerset College. “If you’ve been in a country where you’ve seen hardship, you come to a place like America or Australia, and you tend to appreciate what you have a lot more,” Brohier said. Sally may have inherited her mother’s directness when she spoke. Brohier said he appreciated that quality when he worked with her at Somerset. “She was very straighttalking,” he said. “If she had
something to tell you, she usually told you that. That brought her up in conflict with certain people, but I’d much rather work with a person like that, who is open and who speaks her mind.” Along with coaching, she was a head of house. One of her duties included counseling, and Brohier said her unique life experiences made her well-suited for the role. “She related well to all students, but she related particularly well to students who could potentially go off the rails,” Brohier said. “She had sort of been there, done that. She could talk from experience, and I suppose she was really relevant, and she commanded a lot of respect. I mean, they liked her, but she commanded a lot of respect.” In 2011, Sally moved to Brisbane where she was named director of sport and field hockey coach of Brisbane Girls’ Grammar School. That same year, her father’s high school—Prince Edward School in Harare, Zimbabwe—held a 50thyear reunion for her father’s undefeated rugby team, and the returning members presented the school with a trophy in Donald Northcroft’s name. Sally said she returned to Zimbabwe for the event and got a glimpse of her father through his teammates. “The thing that struck me was that every single person couldn’t say anything that wasn’t just absolute adoration for my father,” she said. “I mean, I’m sure he’s human and made a few people cranky, but I’ve always grown up with the idea that he was a pretty special guy, so I try to live up to that in some way.” Although loss and tragedy dot her personal history, Sally said she still enjoyed growing up in Zimbabwe. She said it was charming in some ways, and they could do a lot more than people probably think can be done in Africa. Still, it was loss and tragedy that led Sally to travel around the globe, trading the beaches of Australia for a patch of turf next to McGalliard Road. “That was the message and resilience in terms of ‘this is what you’ve got.’ You’ve gotta make the most of it,” she said. “You don’t know when it’s gonna change, you don’t know how quickly it can change or what could happen, so when it’s in front of you, take it with both hands and make the absolute most of it. Don’t hold back for a second.”

Men’s volleyball returns with tournament Lewis, followed by the national champions, Loyola. Walton is very optimistic about the team’s chances and what the players will take away from the fall season, beginning with this tournament. “It’s kind of a preview, and it really is an assessment of how our fall training has been going,” Walton said. “It will still be a chance for us to see what places we need to focus on as a team.” The goal in any tournament is always to win, but the Cardinals are looking more at the improvements needed. Talking on the court is an improvement for the Cardinals coming into this tournament. “I think one of our biggest obstacles this year as a team will be communicating out on the court together,” junior outside attacker Brendan Surane said. “We have a lot of quiet guys out on the court right now, but we have been working on that every day.” The opponents will be the same competition that Ball State will compete against in the spring, and senior outside attacker Marcin
Cardinals to play 4 conference foes Sunday at Lewis

After months of preseason training and workouts, the Ball State men’s volleyball team will return to action at the Lewis tournament. The Cardinals play for the first time since ending their season on a 0-3 loss against Ohio State. Ball State will take on four opponents on Sunday, marking the first real glimpse of how the team plays in a game scenario. “The guys have worked hard over the summer on their conditioning and their strength to prepare to come in this season and be ready to go,” head coach Joel Walton said. The Cardinals will open up the tournament playing against two Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association foes: Quincy and McKendree. They will also take on the reigning national championship runner -up,

Niemczewski looks forward to competing against MIVA opponents. “We have really high expectations this year, we are expecting to do really well in conference,” Niemczewski said. “This preseason tournament is going to allow us to compare ourselves to the other teams, and it is a good experience.” The team, this year, has experience and young talent coming up that will need to replace the four graduated seniors from last season. One of those players stepping up is freshman Milwaukee native and libero Adam Wessel. “He has been doing really well, and everyone is really surprised by him in a good way,” Niemczewski said. As the tournament nears, the realization of the fast-approaching season creates anticipation and excitement for the players and coaches. Individual goals for this upcoming weekend: develop bigger and better goals for the regular season. ”I want to see how well I’m matching up with some of the higher competition this year.

In a season where the Cardinals have six home matches, Mattingly believes finishing up MAC play at home works to their advantage. “It’s been a little rough being on the road all of the time, so it’s great to finish off these last few games at home before going into the tournament,” Mattingly said. The Cardinals will host Akron today before battling

It will not be the last time that the seniors will take the field, however, as they have already secured a spot in the conference tournament. “There will obviously be high emotions that day to recognize our tremendous seniors,” Roberts said.

Teaching through tragedy IU student’s family educates students on drinking safety
|
ALLIE KIRKMAN MULTICULTURAL REPORTER aekirkman@bsu.edu
One mother is taking action and encouraging safety among college students by promoting the Indiana Lifeline Law after the death of her daughter in 2013. Angi Fiege, founder of Rachael’s First Week, along with three of Rachael Fiege’s closest childhood friends, spoke to students Thursday sharing the story of Rachael, who died just two days after moving into Indiana University as a freshman. Rachael attended an off-campus party with some friends and fell down a flight of stairs, hitting her head and causing an internal head injury. When her friends found her, they laid her down, not realizing that her brain was bleeding. The next morning, Rachael was not breathing
and ambulance was called. She died from her injures. “Even though there was underage drinking involved, if one person would have just recognized that something was wrong and made the call, Rachael could still be here today,” said Angi, Rachael’s mother, fighting tears after showing a video highlighting Rachael’s life. Angi said the program was not created as something to mourn over, but to help protect students as they transition from high school to college. Its mission is to develop the decision-making skills of teens as they enter this time of monumental change in their lives by giving them the opportunity to develop their potential as friends, mentors and good citizens while they mature into adulthood, according to program’s website. One way to do that is to be the one to step in and call for help when needed — which is what Indiana Lifeline Law is for, said Racheal’s brother Jeremy Fiege, who promoted
the law along with representatives of the Indiana University Health Methodist Hospital in the presentation. The Indiana Lifeline Law was created to protect people under 21 from prosecution for certain alcohol-related offenses if they call for help in a medical emergency, call to report a crime, or have been the victim of a sexual assault. Jeremy emphasized that this law essentially allows immunity to someone who is underage and intoxicated if they are calling 911 to help another person in danger. In order to be completely protected, one must call for help, provide information to the authorities, stay with the person who needs medical attention and follow any instructions given. “Ask yourself when you see what happens in cases like with Rachael — do you really need to have protection from misdemeanors to act and help save a life?” Jeremy said. Jeremy told students the group was not there to preach the law, but to urge
teering at the Red Cross, I saw a lot of opportunity for students and a lot of need in community,” Carini said. “[RCC] creates a bridge between students and the community.” RCC hosts student-led community outreach programs. They also have emergency and disaster student responders. Students who become members of RCC and fill out the proper paperwork are considered official volunteers of the Red Cross. The American Red Cross has chapters all over the United States, which help support people in need. They work in areas of natural disasters, organize blood drives and provide health and safety training. The Red Cross has no formal college
groups, making RCC one of the first of its kind. The RCC was approved as an on-campus group at the end of last school year, and the executive board spent the summer planning what activities and events they would put on. One program starting this week is basic aid training (B.A.T). RCC members will go to local elementary schools and educate students on subjects, such as germs and basic first aid. While this program began at the Red Cross, the RCC expanded upon the program and made it their own. Another community outreach program the group has planned is the Fire Campaign, which supplies homes in Delaware County with fire alarms.

Ball State also pushes this message to students with their Step In. Speak Up. campaign. Every 44 hours, a college-aged person dies from alcohol poisoning, or from drinking too much too fast, according to the
Indiana Youth Services Association. Most teen drinking deaths aren’t traffic related, and are from other alcohol-infused accidents — including falls, like what happened to Rachael. “We are here to encourage you to think about the bigger picture,” Angi said. “The bottom line to not think about it, just call for help.”

A new group on campus, a subunit of the local Red Cross chapter, is one of the first of its kind according to its president.

Vice President Austin Tatum, a sophomore psychology major, said he’s been able to connect more to Muncie through his work with RCC. “RCC offers the opportunity to help others. You can extend out from just campus to the community, get to know the community,” Tatum said. “I really like helping people out, learning
new things and opening my eyes to the world.” Danielle Franko, a senior public relations major and public relations director for RCC, said the organization has given her an outlet to help people and be involved. “It’s hard to find places to productively spend your time in college. RCC opened a lot of doors for me. You help the community … meet new people,” Franko said. Franko also added that there are opportunities for students of all majors. “There’s technical community outreach, design, disaster relief, everything. Anyone can get involved with what they want to do,” Franko said. “Not only are you helping the community, it’s helping you back.”

“If you are a driven and a passionate person and you feel that this has to be done, get your research together, talk to administration and find out ways that this initiative can be done,” Mata, a junior telecommunications major, said. Diversity doesn’t just mean racial diversity, Mata said. More focus needs to be placed on diversity across the board. “I hope that there is a much broader understanding of the term diversity and inclusion in general,” Mata said. “It can apply to mental health and disabilities; I want people to understand that.” Over the summer, the Council on Diversity and Inclusion was established to help put the recommended solutions in motion. Royer Engle said there are representatives from different areas on campus, such as strategic communication, admissions and retention. Students are also on the council. The council is divided into teams, which are each responsible for certain solutions. The teams will look into the proposed solutions and contact the appropriate people to determine feasibility and create action plans. “I think the [Council on Diversity] is committed to seeing the recommendations that can be done as soon as possible, making

Even though the solutions are good, Student Government Association Treasurer Meagan Mullen said students should be educated on diversity and what it means. “When you think of diversity, you think of race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, you don’t think of diversity as a whole as just being different,” Mullen said. Mullen was heavily involved in two of the SGA slate’s platform points regarding diversity earlier this semester. She said people need to be more understanding of others who may not understand diversity and the proper terminology. “When something arises or situation comes up, people just attack,” Mullen said. “Instead, we need to help that person grow.”

Program receives almost $300,000 from university
|
JENNA LISTON GENERAL REPORTER jrliston@bsu.edu
Ball State wants to increase locally grown and produced food on campus, and it has given almost $300,000 to create a regional food hub. The food hub, which was given an Academic Excellence Grant by the university, will allow farmers and producers in the area to contribute their crops to the business, bringing together the community. Even though Indiana has more than 56,000 farms, it still gets at least 90 percent of its food from out of state, according to the National Good Food Network. Joshua Gruver, an assistant professor in Natural Resources and Environmental Management, said Indiana might be better off growing its own food locally instead of depending on other states. “Sharing food is a basic need that unites people,” Gruver said. “With issues involving climate change and drought in areas of the country that typically supply the lion’s share of fruits and veggies, such as California, aren’t we better off growing our food locally than depending on states that might not be able to do it for long?” Gruver said the diminishing food resources and unsustainable food production are major global crises for fresh food. The Indiana State Department of Agriculture is working to increase local food production for in-state consumption through food hubs and the creation of pro-

ducer networks that aggregate, distribute and market local/regional foods to support wholesale, retail and institutional demand. Sustainable Muncie, a non-profit organization that provides small business promotion, wants to become a part of the Muncie Food Hub. With the money raised for its new building, this will provide farmers a place to distribute their crops and make a higher profit. John Fallon, executive director of Sustainable Muncie, said this is one of the most important projects in the region. They’re currently working on the plans for the building—which will be located in downtown Muncie—and will provide machine equipment and more opportunities for local producers to sell their crops, he said. He said he suspects Indiana University Health Ball Memorial Hospital will latch on to the idea of the new hub for dietetic and health considerations. The new Sustainable Muncie is preparing to become an operating and functioning food hub by spring of 2018. This will give students and faculty opportunities
to use expertise in sustainable agriculture and food systems and to provide healthy, affordable fresh food options to residents of many Muncie “food deserts”—places where there aren’t healthy, fresh foods readily available. It will also increase market access for East Central Indiana farmers who have limited or no paths to markets or distribution networks. On campus, this food hub could mean more locally-grown, fresh food. “I think it would really help the local area economically because it would cost less to ship, and also Ball State would be doing those local farmers a favor by supporting their individual businesses,” said Derek Smith, a freshman actuarial science major. However, Max Dryer, a sophomore mathematics major, said he is skeptical of the new idea of more “fresh” food. “[It’s a good idea] as long as it can be proven that it is fresh,” Dryer said. “I have gone here for two years now, and dining tells students the food is fresh when, really, you pick it up and it looks days, even weeks, old.”
Employees can be nominated for tickets to Emens GORDON SGA REPORTER | SOPHIE sgordon@bsu.edu Some staff members who go above and beyond their jobs will be rewarded by the Student Government Association starting next month. SGA’s Hidden Angels program will recognize these employees with free tickets to John R. Emens Auditorium events. Matt King, SGA at-large caucus chair and head of the Hidden Angels program, said work began on the project last semester, when SGA discussed sending its guest speakers tickets to Emens events. King suggested that SGA instead give them to staff members who deserve recognition. “I spend a lot of time on campus, and I see, sometimes, how we don’t notice the small things, and we don’t say ‘thank you,’ and we don’t appreciate the workers on campus,” King said. “This is something where I wanted to figure out a way ... to just say ‘thanks.’” King, a junior emerging media and telecommunications major, said he saw staff members in Noyer Complex, where he is a residence assistant, go above and beyond their job descriptions. Once a person is recommended, King and other SGA members will select winners of the tickets and award the winners in person. Winners will get a vignette piece, like a video, photo or short article, about them. Katrina Ent, a junior public relations major, said it may help inspire employees. “If [workers] see students appreciate the work they do, they become motivated

to work even harder at their jobs,” Ent said. Ent said she often sees custodians in the library who go out of their way to help students by throwing away their trash and making conversation. She plans to nominate a staff member when the project launches. Dining, Housing and other departments will be informed about the program. King also hopes students will spread awareness themselves by word of mouth. “The student really is not getting any incentive to do this, so, in theory, you’d think that it would fail, but I think it’s going to be the complete opposite,” King said. “People like doing good for other people.” Junior social work major Brianna Van Vleet said she sees great work in dining and is glad SGA is implementing a program that recognizes employees. “I think [Ball State Hidden Angels] is important because SGA is a campus organization all about making change, and if they’re for it, then more change is going to be implemented and people are going to be recognized that need to be recognized,” Van Vleet said. King said he would like to see a Ball State Hidden Angels banquet at the end of the year. “We want to show them, ‘Hey, you may be here for 20 years, but we’re only going to be here for the next couple years, and while we’re here, we want to let you know how important you are to us,’” King said.

Ball State ranks 138th out of 173 schools for median federal debt, placing the university on the low end of the spectrum. The charts below illustrate statistics about Ball State student loans, Pell grants and debt repayment.

If an attorney can prove a university has violated state laws, the school may have to repay a student’s federal loans. The U.S. Department of Education recently brought to light a section of federal law that could allow federal student loans to be eliminated. Students would be eligible to receive any amount paid toward the loan, and the school would have to repay the federal loan back to the Department of Education. But earlier this year, the DOE said it was looking closer at the wording of the law and what exactly a borrower would have to put forward in his or her defense. The DOE finalized the federal rule in December 1994, but the regulation did not anticipate students suing colleges directly. Instead, their intent was that a student would be able to receive assistance from the state, which would provide debt relief to the student if appropriate. In the event of a loan discharge, the student could potentially demand the school recompense the government, New York lawyer Eric Epstein said. Since then, the rule has been stagnant and unused in court rulings, Epstein said. Instead of serving as a clear indicator for who’s responsible for loan repayment, Epstein said the law is more of an attempt to clarify the guidelines of the

at Ball State is our partnership with a company called iontuition,” McPherson said. “Through this website, students can actually log in and view their own loan portfolio.” This free service provided by Ball State helps students manage debt levels and allows students to review potential repayment plan options and speak with student loan counselors. McPherson said despite
recent chatter about the gray area in the federal law, he wasn’t aware of additional cases where Ball State students have used any “loopholes” to get debt or loan relief. “It will be interesting to watch future court decisions in this regard, as their decisions will likely impact the behavior of colleges who may be using deceptive practices to bolster enrollment,” McPherson said.

The 22nd cycle of “America’s Next Top Model” began with its benevolent overlord Tyra Banks staring dramatically into the camera as if she were about to announce the next president of the United States and not, as was the reality, that models were about to walk on a platform. It has become commonplace in the 12 years “Top Model” has existed for Banks to exaggerate certain aspects of her show, like its positive effect on humanity or the success of (most of) her protégés. However, there’s one thing she couldn’t admit, and it was that “Top Model” ratings have been plummeting for years. Cycle 21 performed the worst, with the show landing in last place among all fall 2014 shows on the five English-language broadcast networks, according to Zap2it’s analysis of Nielsen’s ratings. Banks finally admitted defeat

on Oct. 14 with a tweet that confirmed every aspiring model’s worst fear: “Top Model” would be ending after the Cycle 22 finale in December. Reactions were what you’d expect—lots of sobbing emojis and “we were all rooting for you” gifs. Noticeably absent (for the most part) was surprise. There were plenty of signs, after all, that the show’s ratings weren’t just the inevitable result of the longevity of “Top Model,” but its declining quality. Here are the signs:
to the world of fashion. She asked them to design this season’s “Top Model” house. The brothers explained this to the bright-eyed contestants of Cycle 22, who didn’t have time to act too confused because they’re practically required to run around their new home, claiming beds and gushing over the portraits of Banks hung throughout the building.
2. Downgraded experiences
Then, there’s the lack of variety and quality in things “Top Model” audiences have learned to expect from the show. First, there’s Erik Asla, who has taken photos for almost every shoot that’s occurred this cycle. Yu Tsai, the show’s creative consultant, stepped in for one week, but he hardly counts as a special guest. Asla, while not an untalented photographer, is also Banks’ boyfriend. His presence on the show seems forced, especially
1. Underwhelming guests
Hints of a less-than-stellar season came early when the first celebrity guests appeared in Cycle 22’s second episode. No, they weren’t fashion designers, photographers or even previous contestants. Instead, Banks chose the Property Brothers to set the tone for her season. Banks didn’t even attempt to connect them The editor reserves the right to edit and condense submissions.

when, prior to him, “Top Model” watchers enjoyed a parade of famous photographers, including the old mainstay Nigel Barker, whom Banks often described as “noted” and “sexy.” There might be a pattern here. Secondly, the “foreign destination” for this year’s cycle is not so foreign at all. In fact, it’s less than four hours away from where “Top Model” is filmed in Los Angeles. Where, you ask? Vegas, baby: the home of understated glitz, refinement and fashion icons, Penn and Teller. Banks announced the “exciting” news to her contestants with money falling from the ceiling. Let’s hope they didn’t get too carried away. Banks probably needed some of it back.
3. Banks’ shameless self-promotion
It might seem hard, with all this going on, to point out the worst of Banks’ infractions. Luckily, she made it easy with
the latest episode. The models were asked to act in a commercial for Banks’ new multi-level marketing company. Yep, you can become a “Beautytainer” and hawk Banks’ new makeup line, Tyra Beauty, so she doesn’t have to. Banks has always used “Top Model” to build her personal brand and sell her sometimes-ridiculous wares. Remember “Modelland,” the young adult novel she wrote? A whole episode of Cycle 18 was devoted to her unfortunate underlings (Banks called them “all-stars”) acting out scenes from the book. It’s no surprise, then, that Banks would use “Top Model” to promote her beauty line. It is, however, the cherry on top of a season full of disappointments, mediocre modeling and slipping quality. Tyra, you’re no longer in the running for America’s Top TV Show.
