Members of the Ball State soccer team comfort each other after losing to Northern Illinois 1-1 (4-3) Sunday at the Briner Sports Complex.
Cardinals eliminated in 1st round Ball State knocked out of MAC Tournament after shootout Jacob Lee Soccer Reporter Freshman defender Yela Zisweiler stepped up to the ball with Ball State soccer trailing Northern Illinois 4-3 in penalty kicks. Overtime ended with a 1-1 tie, forcing the shootout. Zisweiler needed to score to keep the game going. She ran up to the ball, launching it to the lower right corner of the goal, but Huskies goalkeeper MacKenzie Lee was ready for it. She dove to her left to block the kick. The Mid-American Conference regular season champions were eliminated in the first round — again. “I think the team will really mature from this,” head coach Craig Roberts said. “Sometimes you have to learn from experience and we will take this experience and move forward. We know that we have to take the opportunities in a game, and convert those in a game like this.” The first 90 minutes ended in a 1-1 tie. Ball State freshman forward Sam Kambol scored in the 37th minute, creating her own chance after stealing the ball deep in Northern Illinois territory. The Huskies’ lone goal in regulation was scored by sophomore forward Taylor Sarver in the 57th minute of play. See SOCCER, page 5
Cult classic “Rocky Horror Picture Show” creates place for Ball State cast members to be themselves Kaitlin Lange Enterprise Reporter
O
livia Germann felt out of place as a high schooler in Downer’s Grove, Illinois — a village near Chicago. She realized she was pansexual (meaning she is attracted to any sex or gender), and most of her friends were straight. But if there was one place she fit in, it was at her hometown’s “Rocky Horror Picture Show” Shadow Cast show. It was a place where people could be who they wanted, the English literature major thought, just like the "Rocky Horror" lead character Dr. Frank N. Furter, a transvestite mad scientist whose goal is to create the perfect man. See 'ROCKY HORROR,' page 3

CHIRP: X FACTORS ON THE FIELD
Our football reporter breaks down the key matchups in this week's home game against Western Michigan.
Ball State has once again dropped in the rankings for the Trojan Sexual Health report card, but heath educator Elizabeth Peeler isn’t too concerned about that. Because sexual health has become such a priority for universities, she believes most schools are just improving their programs faster than Ball State is, mainly because they have a full-time staff devoted to just that.
Ball State was ranked 48th this year out of 140 universities, down five spots from 2015. In the past six years, Ball State’s ranking has been declining. Just five years ago in 2011, the university was 16th in the nation. But Peeler, whose background is in sexual health education, has been working to make sure all students know about the resources Ball State offers. She’s been working with peer health educators to figure out how students get their information. “My goal is to get us to a better ranking,” Peeler said. “I’m a sexual health educator by training, so this is my passion.”

Clinton says she won’t be ‘knocked off course’ in final week The Associated Press WILTON MANORS, Fla. (AP) — Hillary Clinton vowed Sunday that she would not be “knocked off course” in the election’s final days, as she sought to push past a new FBI email inquiry in a sexting probe that delivered a late jolt to her race against Republican Donald Trump. “I’m not stopping now, we’re just getting warmed up,” Clinton declared during a packed rally with gay and lesbian supporters in battleground Florida. “We’re not going to be distracted, no matter what our opponents throw at us.” Trump campaigned in Las Vegas at a casino owned by billionaire GOP megadonor Sheldon Adelson and accused the Justice Department, without offering evidence, of trying to protect Clinton following the FBI’s discovery of new emails that could be related to its investigation into Clinton’s use of a private email server. “Hillary has nobody but herself to blame for her mounting legal problems,” Trump said during a rally. Clinton’s advisers and fellow Democrats pressured FBI Director James Comey anew to release more details about the emails, including whether Comey had even reviewed them himself. The message was aimed at gathering more information about what the bureau is seeking from a computer that appears to belong to disgraced former New York Rep. Anthony Weiner, the estranged husband of Huma Abedin, one of Clinton’s closest advisers. Tim Kaine, Clinton’s running mate, said Comey owed it to the public to be more forthcoming about the emails under review by the FBI with only nine days remaining before the Nov. 8 election. Calling Comey’s
4-DAY FORECAST Kalie Pluchel Weather Forecaster
announcement “extremely puzzling,” Kaine said that if Comey “hasn’t seen the emails, I mean they need to make that completely plain.” Clinton’s campaign chairman, John Podesta, said Comey’s handling of the matter was “inappropriate.” Clinton made unannounced stops Sunday in Florida at an early voting location, a Miami brunch spot and a soul food restaurant. She also addressed a predominantly black church, where she spoke of overcoming disappointments. “Scripture tells us to rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance and endurance produces character,” she said. “And character produces hope.” Clinton made no direct mention of the new FBI investigation, which has created anxiety among Democrats. But while she criticized the FBI for a lack of transparency during a campaign appearance on Saturday, she tried to shift her attention back to Trump on Sunday, casting him as a selfish billionaire with a striking lack of empathy. Speaking to LGBT supporters in Wilton Manors, she seized on a Washington Post report about Trump appearing at a fundraiser for children with HIV and pretending to be a donor, though he never gave money to the charity. “It’s always Donald Trump first and everyone else last,” she said. Comey’s actions Friday have roiled the White House race, energizing Trump as polls had showed him sliding and unnerving Democrats worried about the presidency and down-ballot congressional races. In a letter to Congress on Friday, Comey said the FBI had recently come upon new emails while pursuing an unrelated case and was reviewing whether they were classified.

'Rocky Horror'
Continued from page 1
who are more timid and have never taken a dance class before and others who have the clean style of professionals. Facial expressions range from erotic to ecstatic, some never ceasing to smile. And most of the usherettes’ costumes don’t have one specific look, with one man donning a pink cowboy hat. “It actually mashes together really well. ... The amount of enthusiasm and boldness and flamboyance all kind of meshes together to make this really fun experience,” Germann said.
“Rocky Horror Picture Show” is a 1975 musical comedy horror film that received little mainstream attention when it was first released, but soon grew into a culture phenomenon. Now, every year on Halloween, casts all over the country perform the show live with the original movie playing behind the actors. And now, Germann is the director of the show that, in a way, helped her come out as pansexual. She leads a cast of an assortment of people at Ball State: former theater majors, movie junkies, people who were dragged into the show by friends and those from the LGBT community just looking for an additional safe place. The low-budget movie that received little attention when it was released is now the reason around 30 people come together at Ball State with an undying passion for the film to perform in front of a sold-out crowd year after year. It’s an experience that allows the cast to be whoever they want to be for a couple hours.
'IT’S SO BAD, IT’S GOOD' By most professional standards, the movie is no masterpiece. Even in the very first scene when the characters attend a wedding, part of a microphone is accidently in the shot. “When it came out, it got s--t reviews,” Germann said. “Everyone was like, ‘This is awful.’ … There’s a bunch of things in the movie that don’t make sense because the studio made them cut it.” There’s the obvious continuity errors: One of the character’s saxophones doesn’t have a reed in it. The script had to be cut down during the middle of filming because it would have been too long, so some parts just don’t make sense. It was never supposed to be a phenomenal video because of the low budget, telecommunications professor Wes Gehring said. Yet something about the movie made it stick. It almost immediately became a cult film, a movie unpopular with mainstream audiences but loved by a dedicated fanbase. Soon, people started creating shadow casts, and the concept of midnight films developed. Even audience members began dressing up and using call-outs during the middle of the show. In places like the Midwest and in big cities, the show took off. “Suddenly you could go to a movie theater and go against all the typical things in the movie,” Germann said. “You could scream, you could dance, you could throw things. It was basically the antithesis of what a normal movie experience was. It really just kind of combined theater and movie and cinema in this really interesting way that prompted this whole slew of new ideas and new things.” Throughout the film, the audience is nearly as involved as the cast in some cases, and the performance can be intimidating for “Rocky” virgins. Some in the audience dress up, and shouts from the audience are just part of the fun. The heroine’s name, “Janet.” is met with “bitch,” and when the audience hears her fiance’s name “Brad,” another obscene term follows. Some communities, like Germann’s hometown, have “Rocky Horror” shows every Saturday all year long. And they don’t struggle to fill seats — people like Germann return weekly just to be a part of the audience.

Angie Hubert performs during the dress rehearsal of "Rocky Horror Picture Show" Friday John R. Emens Auditorium. Hubert plays Dr. Frank-N-Furter in the show.
Mainly because of the shadow casts, fanatics appreciate the movie itself. Angie Hubert, Ball State’s Dr. Frank N. Furter, is a telecommunications major and thus has an eye for when movies just aren’t right. Still, she has a special place in her heart for B-grade movies like “Rocky Horror.” Her mother, a fan of the film herself, showed the movie to her when she was in fifth grade. “This is one of those movies that ... it’s bad. But it’s so bad, it’s good,” Hubert said. Telecommunications majors are one of the groups drawn to the “Rocky Horror” productions. Even if Hubert doesn’t think the production value is that high, she sees worth in the parts of the story that are more in-depth and lead viewers to relate to the characters. She also jokes that because she is focusing on digital production, the movie makes her feel better about her skills. 'DIFFERENT WALKS OF LIFE' Before Hubert joined “Rocky Horror,” the most extensive acting she had done was a play in fourth grade. She showed up on the first day of auditions freshman year in jeans and a T-shirt, while most others were in heels and scantily clad. Still, she was chosen
to be an usherette, one of the performers who dance in the aisles. Germann, on the other hand, was one of those who acted in every show she could stumble upon growing up: "Legally Blonde," "Music Man," "Guys and Dolls," "The Whiz," "Charlie Brown." For Germann, it was weird when she stopped acting in the shadow cast to become the Ball State director at the beginning of her junior year. She had never done anything like it, and the one thing that kept her at ease with the situation was advice from the shadow cast director in her hometown. Now she is back to acting — while directing at the same time — after she had to step in as Rocky when the original actor got hurt. Germann prefers the cast to be a mix of actors, such as herself, and people without theater backgrounds. That diversity fits with what “Rocky Horror” is all about. “It’s really interesting because the people in our cast, they come from all different majors, … so we get this huge slew of people from different walks of life,” Hubert said. There are those who sexualize their dancing to their full extent in ways that would make some uncomfortable, those

'SWEET TRANSVESTITE' When “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” was first released, it was as a promiscuous movie. That’s part of what helped it become a cult film, Gehring said. Its focus on sexuality, however, also helped it become a fixture in the LGBT community. It was the first of its kind, Germann said, and it helped her admit her own sexuality. Whenever she was sad, she would just listen to the soundtrack. “It gave me a real sense of confidence,” Germann said. “If Frank can get up there and strut his stuff, maybe I can come out of the closet, maybe I can be bolder and not take s--t from people. It was just something that gave me a lot of personal strength.” While Hubert’s story is a little different, she loves the freedom “Rocky Horror” has given her to be herself. Her sophomore year, she decided to try out for Frank, partially as a joke so she could be a woman dressed as a man dressed as a woman. Back then, most of Ball State’s main characters had stuck to the gender of the movie character. She got the part and immediately dove into learning the role. That first year, she tried hard to be as movieaccurate as possible: same moves, same faces, same hair — accomplished with 130 bobby pins. She was worried about the criticism and was just trying to prove she could do the role as a woman. At her first show, an audience member came up to Hubert and told her she almost left when she realized Hubert was a woman playing a male role — but she was glad she didn’t. “These past few years, I’ve been so movie-accurate because I want to impress people, because I was afraid since I was a woman playing a male character. … I shouldn’t have to feel that scrutiny,” Hubert said. “In theater, it doesn’t matter your gender, if you want to play a part, you play that part to the best of your ability.” By now, Hubert feels she has already proven she can do the role well. Because of that, she’s adding a more feminine side to the character. She’s leaving her hair down, wearing more makeup and “showing off the sexuality of being a woman.” To her, that’s what “Rocky Horror Picture Show” is about: the ability to be one’s self. “The reason so many people like [“Rocky Horror Picture Show”] is because it’s a movie that allows you to be open, be who you are, be who you want to be,” Hubert said. “And this movie is about being different. It’s about not really forging onto the same path as everybody else.” Contact Kaitlin Lange with any questions or concerns at kllange@bsu.edu.

Western Michigan is biggest challenge yet Cardinals to take on undefeated, No. 17-ranked Broncos Jake Fox Football Reporter
Chances like this don’t come around often for Ball State. In fact, a ranked team hasn’t visited Scheumann Stadium since the 2003 season. The last time a top-20 team came to Muncie was in 1997. Both of those droughts will end Tuesday, as No. 17 Western Michigan (8-0, 4-0 MAC) comes to town for a Mid-American Conference showdown with Ball State (4-4, 1-3 MAC). The Broncos are the last undefeated team in the Group of 5 conferences. With it being a midweek game, the Cardinals have had the benefit of a few extra days to prepare for one of the best teams in the nation. “They know what they do, and they do it well,” said senior linebacker Sean Wiggins. “I wouldn’t say they’re simple, but they’re definitely not as much of a window-dressing team as we’ve played. They’re gonna come out and try to hit us in the mouth, and we’re gonna try to hit them right back.” Cardinals’ head coach Mike Neu echoed those sentiments — the Broncos don’t run anything crazy schematically. But there’s no question that it works. Western Michigan averages 502.1 yards and 44.4 points per game, both top-15 marks in the nation. The Broncos have scored 40 or more points in six of their eight games so far this year. BALL STATE VS. WESTERN MICHIGAN • Time: 8 p.m. • Day: Tuesday • Place: Scheumann Stadium • Watch: ESPN2
And the key to it all is that they don’t make very many mistakes. Their plus-12 turnover margin ranks second in all of

The Cardinals had chances but failed to capitalize. They outshot the Huskies 17-5, including a 5-2 advantage in overtime. “The opportunities were there, we created, we broke them down, we got behind them, we even got the shot count,” Roberts said. “We looked at the goal, we just didn’t convert. If you don’t convert the opportunities you’re not going to win the game.” The loss was eerily similar to last season’s first-round loss to Akron. In both games, the Cardinals entered the game as the top seed in the MAC Tournament, only to lose in a shootout. Still, Ball State was the top seed because it won the regular season title in both seasons.

the Football Bowl Subdivision. “Every single week, if you win the turnover margin you give yourself a great chance to win,” Neu said. “You have to give them credit. They’ve been very consistent week in and week out, and they’re playing very complimentary football.” A perfect example of Western Michigan’s complementary style was last season’s 54-7 lopsided win over Ball State in which the Broncos outgained the Cardinals 711-152. Quarterback Zach Terrell threw for 324 yards and three touchdowns, wideout Corey Davis had 163 receiving yards and three touchdowns, and tailbacks Jamauri Bogan and Jarvion Franklin combined for 211 rushing yards and three scores.
The bad news for Ball State? All of the aforementioned players are back and terrorizing defenses this season. “They line up very sound, have good football players and execute at a high level,” said defensive coordinator Tim Daoust. “You go to take away one weapon, they’re gonna get you with the other. You have to line up and be sound and play good football.” A win in this game would obviously be huge for Ball State, which is still two wins away from bowl eligibility. And the Cardinals can look at the MAC slate from last week as motivation — Buffalo, Ohio, Kent State and Miami won in games that they weren’t favored. “It’s why you play right here, man.
These are the moments you love,” Neu said. “Having an opportunity to play a team that’s 8-0, in your building, in your house on national TV — that’s exciting.” When No. 18 Toledo came into Ball State’s house in 1997, it was handed a 35-3 upset loss. The Cardinals are hoping history repeats itself. “I love big games,” Wiggins said. “It’s a chance for you to get your name out there, and get your school’s name out there by competing against one of the best teams. And it’ll be on ESPN2, so everybody’s gonna be watching.” Ball State and Western Michigan will kick off at 8 p.m. Tuesday. Contact Jake Fox with any questions or concerns at @FoxJake_.

“I’m very proud of the team, proud of the seniors,” Roberts said. “It’s just a matter of now trying to push forward.” Before the loss, the Cardinals were ranked 42nd in the NCAA RPI rankings.

Editor’s note: Muncie Origins is a Ball State Daily News series profiling various businesses that originated in Muncie. Towering over the other buildings in downtown Muncie sits Cornerstone Center for the Arts, a building that has been standing for 90 years. The historic building in which Cornerstone Center for the Arts is located was originally built in 1926. Throughout the first 75 years of its existence, the building was used to host various community events; however, by 1999, the huge building was beginning to show its age. Concerned Muncie community members came together and, with the help of the Ball Brothers Foundation, purchased the building, updated it and renamed it the Community Civic Center. In 2005, the Community Civic Center joined forces with the Muncie Center for the Arts, another arts organization that had already been created in the community, and formed the Cornerstone Center for the Arts organization. Today, Cornerstone Center for the Arts has more than 90,000 annual visitors as well as more than 1,000 students enrolled in its various classes. “I am continually amazed at the ideas generated to raise funding and promote the arts,” said Marilyn Cleary, Cornerstone’s executive director. “The classes offered are varied, and our student numbers have increased.” The center offers the Muncie community a way to learn more about the arts with classes in different categories taught by experienced teachers. People can turn up the music and get their feet moving in one of the various dance classes that Cornerstone offers. Or one can start strumming
a guitar and running a finger over the ivories by partaking in a music lesson at the center. Students can even work on their chances of making it to Hollywood by participating in one of Cornerstone’s theater classes. There is a wide variety of class options, and Cornerstone hopes to have something for everyone. Cornerstone Center for the Arts also hosts many one-time events throughout the year. Just throughout the past month alone, the center sponsored a performance of the "Rocky Horror Picture Show," a family-friendly Halloween party, as well an adults-only bash and two different haunted houses. The center also allows its historic space to be rented out for anything from birthday celebrations to anniversary parties to wedding ceremonies and receptions. “We are doing more rental events [than] ever,” Cleary said. Cornerstone Center for the Arts also has opportunities for volunteer hours. Many Ball State students choose to spend time providing community service at the arts center. “The people there are so nice,”said Janell Barker, who volunteered at Cornerstone’s Son of Scarevania haunted attraction. “It was a great decision to choose this place to get my community service hours in.” With many art education programs declining in recent years, organizations like Cornerstone Center for the Arts have become even more important. Cornerstone Center for the Arts allows individuals to experience the arts, no matter who they are or where they come from. To find out more about Cornerstone classes and events, visit their website.

TROJAN REPORT
Continued from page 1
The Trojan ranking is based on: • The quality of sexual health information and resources available on the school’s website • Contraceptive availability • Condom availability • HIV testing • Sexually transmitted infection testing • Lecture and outreach programs for sexual health education • Sexual assault programs and resources • Hours of operation • The overall usability and quality of the website • Allowance of drop-ins for student scheduling, or if they require appointments. The university offers free condoms in the Office of Health, Alcohol and Drug Education and Lucina Hall, and now offers free HIV testing every week in the Amelia T. Wood Health Center. They also offer testing for other STIs, but for a fee. Ball State has been trying to expand on the type of condoms offered to try to reduce the stigma against condoms. “I knew from my previous experience at the University of South Carolina that you have to get students excited — make it flashy, in a way — to make students go ‘Hey, like this is something I should look into,’” Peeler said. Because Indiana is an abstinence-only state, Peeler said many students come to college not knowing much about sexual health. Peeler said her colleagues in the Office of Health, Alcohol and Drug Education have seen a big influx in students coming in to get condoms, which makes her happy. Around 5 percent of Ball State students have chlamydia, genital herpes, genital warts, gonorrhea or HIV, according to the 2015 American College Health Association-National College Health Assessment. Because using condoms can reduce the chance of catching or transmitting an STI, Trojan will be donating more than 100,000 condoms to schools across the U.S. in 2016, according to a press release. Since the first report on sexual health in 2006, Sperling’s BestPlaces, an independent research firm, said it has seen huge improvements in the amount of information and resources provided by the universities. “It’s our feeling that the Trojan Sexual Health

report card is a key reason why students are getting better information and resources,” Sperling’s said in a press release. “Students have used the Trojan rankings to approach their administration and make a case for better resources and services.” University of Georgia topped the rankings, and Sperling’s attributed that to their commitment to availability of contraceptives, HIV and STI testing and “superior” health resources on campus. This year, Indiana University was ahead of Ball State once again in the rankings, placing 32nd. Purdue University ranked 84th and IUPUI was 70th.
