onths of racial controversy and requests for the removal of former President Tim Wolfe at the University of Missouri were met fewer than 48 hours after the school’s football team took a stand. Several black players on the Missouri football team decided on Nov. 7 they weren’t going to play unless Wolfe resigned, following accusations of inaction regarding racial tensions. And the Tigers’ head coach, Gary Pinkel, stood with his players. Missouri plays at an elite level in the Southeastern Conference — it’s a much larger scale than Ball State in the Mid-American Conference, but it bears the same question: How much weight do athletics pull at the college level? Short answer — a lot. “The questions and the issues that were brought to light were obviously very important,” Ball State Athletic Director Mark Sandy said. “But when the football team and other student-athletes on campus were willing to support the ideals of their fellow students, it certainly brought more national attention to the issue.” See MISSOURI, page 5

Cleo’s has closed in the Village and will be moving to another location, but owner Chris Ellison declined to say where. Ellison said he has chosen to move from the Village for “a better location and opportunity.”
CLEO’S CLOSES IN VILLAGE, NEW LOCATION UNKNOWN Cleo’s Bourbon Bar has closed in the Village and will be relocating, owner Chris Ellison said. Ellison wouldn’t disclose where the new location will be, but said he chose to move from his five-year occupancy in the Village for “a better location and opportunity.” Cleo’s has had some indecisiveness over the past year. In May, the Daily News reported that Cleo’s was planning to move to downtown Muncie, and it’s current location would be merged with Sir Nacho’s Grill to become Three Amigos. In August, that decision was revoked, and Ellison decided to stay in the Village and add Cajun and Creole food to the menu, as well as remodel the bar. Ellison was not able to be reached for further comment.

Students go to college assuming they will earn a degree that will make them employable, but for people with physical disabilities, that’s not always the case. Around 18 percent of people with physical disabilities are employed, according to the
Bureau of Labor Statistics. Of people without disabilities, around 94 percent of people are employed. “Here’s the thing: college graduates with disabilities already have the degree,” said Larry Markle, director of Disability Services. “They meet the minimum qualifications for these jobs. We’re not creating work for these folks, these are people who are qualified. But for some reason, there’s still a lag for employment for people with disabilities.” The Disability Project, which is centered on a need for employment for people with phys-
ical disabilities, was awarded a three-year Academic Excellence Grant of around $250,000 from the university. The project places students in paid internships and educates Indiana employers on hiring qualified people with physical disabilities. It goes live in January 2016. Funding will employ a fulltime person in the Career Center to work with students with disabilities, educate employers on employing people with disabilities and continue giving them internships. Alumnus Greg Fehribach started running the project
six year ago, and he works with Markle on it. Fehribach has Osteogenesis Imperfecta, which means “brittle bones.” He said he wanted to leave a legacy for other people with physical disabilities. “There were never other professionals with disabilities around the corporate tables or involved in the civic discussions, just me,” Fehribach said. “I started to think, ‘If I retire or if, God forbid, something happen to me, there was no bench.’ We needed to change that so people with disabilities can be community leaders.”

BALL STATE SUFFERS 48-31 LOSS AT OHIO Defense, penalties lead to Cardinals’ 8th loss of season
|
CHASE AKINS ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR @dn_sports
Avoiding penalties has been a strong suit for the Ball State football team this season, as it is one the least penalized teams in the nation. This was not the case against Ohio University on the road Tuesday, as uncharacteristic penalties served as potential game-killers for the Cardinals in a 48-31 loss to the Bobcats. “The disappointing thing tonight was that we had three procedural penalties,” head
coach Pete Lembo said. “[They were on] three seniors on offense that are all pretty steady guys for us.” Defense was once again a struggle for the Cardinals, as they gave up 607 yards of total offense and 28 points in the first half. Bobcats’ quarterback JD Sprague threw for 275 yards and three touchdowns in the game. Two big defensive pass interference penalties helped Ohio move the ball down the field in the game. The first interference call happened with a little more than two minutes left in the first quarter when redshirt sophomore David Moore put the Bobcats in scoring position at the Ball State 15-yard line.

This year, the survey found the top priorities are job creation, improving schools and reducing crime, just as they were in 2014. Issues that rose in importance were the improvement of highways and roads (up 11 percentage points from last year) and protecting the environment (up 5 percentage points from last year). On a broader scale, 51.4 percent of those surveyed believe Indiana is headed in the “right direction.” Thirty-six percent say the state is on the “wrong track.” The approval ratings of Governor Mike Pence underwent a change this year, dropping to 47 percent, a 15-percentage-point drop from last year.

Pence visits 4th graders
STOLEN ARTIFACT TO BE RETURNED TO INDIA AFTER INVESTIGATION
DN FILE PHOTO BREANNA DAUGHERTY
A 1,000-year-old religious relic from the David Owsley Museum of Art was confirmed to have been stolen from a temple in India after a five-month investigation, according to a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) press release.
A religious relic from the David Owsley Museum of Art was confirmed to have been stolen from a temple in India after a five-month investigation, according to a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) press release. After five months of investigation, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) has taken custody of the artifact and is working with Ball State to return it to the temple in Southern India from which it was stolen. The relic is a 1,000-year-old statue of the Festival Bronze of Shiva and Parvati. “The theft, trafficking and/or destruction of cultural artifacts is one of the oldest and most sinister forms of transnational crime. To profit from the sale of someone else’s ancient religious relic which is priceless to the people who worship it, is egregious and disrespectful to all faiths,” said Glenn Sorge, acting special agent in charge for HSI New York. Sorge said HSI’s long-term goal is to reduce the incentive for activities like this. “Our partnerships with institutions like Ball State University are instrumental to this effort,” Sorge said. “We hope that other collectors, institutions and museums will see this surrender as a successful example of a way to move forward when dealing with artifacts that might be of concern.” The statue will be shipped to New York and may serve as evidence in Operation Hidden Items, and will ideally be forfeited and sent back to India, along with found artifacts. The artifact dealer under question is Subhash Kapoor, a former New York-based art dealer who is in custody in India awaiting trial for looting tens of millions of dollars of artifacts. “The David Owsley Museum of Art, as with the Toledo Museum of Art and several other major collecting institutions, cooperated fully with the U.S. and Indian governments in the investigation of works sold by the dealer Subhash Kapoor,” said Robert G. La France, director of the David Owsley Museum of Art. “The Festival Bronze of Shiva and Parvati was the only work of art in this museum’s collection purchased from Kapoor. Homeland Security Investigations has presented convincing evidence that the work was stolen and its documentation falsified.” – STAFF REPORTS

Governor answers questions at local elementary school

CHRISTOPHER STEPHENS PRINT EDITOR castephens@bsu.edu
Governor Mike Pence encouraged the fourth-grade class at Longfellow Elementary School in Muncie to not let anything come between them and their dreams. Pence spoke to a cafeteria full of kids, telling them the story of coming from his
GRANT:
upbringing in Columbus, Ind., “with a cornfield in my back yard,” to calling his mother from Air Force One. When Pence offered kids the chance to ask questions they had written in class, the room erupted in “oohs” and “aahs” as every child raised their hand as high as they could while still at least trying to stay in their seats. “What’s your most challenging problem being governor?” one girl asked. Keeping Hoosiers safe, he replied, emphasizing the opportunity he said he is
trying to create for Indiana residents, so long as they keep themselves away from things that can impede that opportunity. “That’s the great thing about America,” Pence said. “Anybody can be anybody, but you have to stay away from things that can destroy your dreams, like drugs.” The governor pointed to his personal heroes, President John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr., as people who didn’t let anything get in the way of their dreams.
Another young girl asked Pence, “Have you ever made a horrible decision?” “Occasionally, I make decisions that I maybe would have done differently,” he said. “But as governor of Indiana, you always try to make the best decision from the information you have.” Pence came to Longfellow Elementary because he loves meeting with the state’s young people, he said. “It’s always a joy to meet with kids and talk about public service and what I do,” Pence said.
| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Eskenazi Health first partnered with the project three years ago to host an internship for junior chemistry major Matt Marshall, who uses a manual wheelchair. Marshall’s first internship involved providing feedback on accessibility for a hospital Eskenazi was building. “In a patient’s room, the gloves are placed in a back corner and rather high up,” Marshall said. “I never anticipated that would be a challenge for me — something so fundamental to patient care as gloves.” After Marshall’s first internship, Eskenazi requested more interns — including Marshall, who has had three internships. Now the project also partners with the City of Indianapolis and Emmis Communications, as stated in the Disability Project brochure. The project is a civil rights movement and is a matter of equality, Fehribach said.

The university awarded the Disability Project a three-year Academic Excellence Grant of around $250,000. The project places students in paid internships and educates Indiana employers on hiring qualified people with physical disabilities.
He compared it to the disadvantages women face in the work force. “I am 100 percent certain in the inequality,” he said. “We know women are paid less, significantly less. We know women [have] a hard time getting sustainable employment. So getting a mort-
gage for a house, spending a little extra money on a nice bottle of wine is harder just because a person happens to be a woman. Well, people with disabilities are so much further down the road, and we already know women are behind.”

Congress discontinues Perkins Loan Program Senate blocked legislation Sept. 30 for 1-year extension
|
CASEY SMITH CRIME REPORTER casmith11@bsu.edu
Editor’s note: A previous version of this story reported the Senate had not voted. The Senate has voted, and they decided to not extend the program. The story has been updated. Ball State has participated in the Perkins Loan program for 58 years, but students are no longer able to depend on it to pay for college. On Sept. 28, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 3594, the Higher Education Extension Act, on a voice vote. The bill would have extended the Perkins Loan Program for one year. The Senate blocked legislation for an extension on
Sept. 30. “Perkins loans are needbased loans which foster access to higher education for low-income students by providing low-interest loans to students in need,” said U.S. Representative Mike Honda. “Perkins loan borrowers are predominantly from lower income families and are often the first in their family to attend college.” To date, more than 30 million students have benefited from the Perkins Loans Program, according to the Coalition of Higher Education Assistance Organization (COHEAO). Dennis Swartz, a federal regulations analyst at Ball State, said the university currently has 5,140 loans outstanding Perkins Loans, and the program is highly valued by students receiving the loans. At Ball State, federal Perkins loans could be awarded in addition to Stafford
Sub/Unsubsidized Loans, and about $1.5 million was available to lend to students annually. This is enough to lend 750 students $2,000 a piece each year. Those students won’t be able to depend on that funding anymore. Honda said the program was one of several federal loan programs offered to students and the only one that is based at each individual institution. This means that each school had the ability to tailor the program to the needs of each specific campus based on its own financial contributions to the loans being distributed. “In 2012-13, close to 500,000 students with need were awarded nearly $1 billion in Perkins loans, with an average amount of $1,957 awarded per student,” Honda said. “This funding is critical to students who may not qualify for any
other financing options, including more costly private loans, and therefore would be unable to complete their education.” Allison Summers, a freshman business major at Ball State, said she received several thousand dollars through the Perkins Loan Program, which makes a “huge difference” financially. “I didn’t really get a lot of scholarships or anything,” Summers said. “I was really happy when I found out I qualified for a lot of loans — especially through the Perkins program.” Summers said the Perkins program is the “best option she had for paying back loans in the future.” “I don’t know a whole lot about loans or how it’s all going to work out when I graduate, but I know that my family was most relieved when they found out I was able to get [Perkins loans] with low interest,” Summers said.
Technology advancements lead to increase in sharing nude photos
Phone apps lack precautions for spreading pictures
|
SABRINA CHILDERS GREEK LIFE REPORTER sechilders2@bsu.edu
Sex has always been a common part of society. But with the increasing amount of technology, it’s increasingly easier to sext — but it can have consequences. Richard Petts, an associate professor of sociology, said sexting is a social issue that is not surprising among teens and young adults. “Essentially, this is something that people get swept up and participate in without considering the consequences,” he said. That’s what happened recently at a high school in Cañon, Colorado. In early November, hundreds of
DN ILLUSTRATION STACIE KAMMERLING
nude photographs were found in the possession of students. About half of the Colorado high school was involved in the production and sharing of the nude photographs. Similarly, a Twitter poll the Daily News conducted of its followers showed roughly half of those who answered have sent or shared nude photos. “The competition among [the] boys to acquire the most nude pictures is an example of gender norms in our society and [the] perceptions we have of masculinity,” Petts said. “I also think that this was an instance of collective behavior; it likely became ‘the thing to do,’ which causes people to engage in this activity without the same sense of self-awareness that they would in other situations.” For junior digital production major Angie Hubert, who was on the sending side of sexting, she said it was more of a confidence booster than a play on masculinity. “I think it’s a matter of impressing people,” she said. “What I wanted back, the majority of the time, was the compliment, ‘Oh, you’re beautiful,’ or saying they liked that certain feature about me.” Freshman political science major James Cummings agreed that sexting is popular among younger generations. He said he only ever sent nude photos his freshman year of high school. “It’s a huge thing among teenagers. Even in [college], it’s huge,” Cummings said. “I mean, that’s the original reason Snapchat was created.” Bryon O’Connor, lead developer of Digital Corps, said that when apps like Snapchat are used, there aren’t really precautions that can be taken to protect the spreading of photos. “I am not aware of any way to prevent installed apps from sharing photos if the user has granted that app permission,” O’Connor said. Hubert said it is a known fact that Snapchat photos can be screenshot and hidden by other apps. However, according to a Washington Post article, there are things a person can do to
prevent a photo from being identified: • Never include a face • Make the background non-descript • Hide any birthmarks, tattoos and piercings • Extract the EXIF File (which identifies how, when and where the photo was taken) Beyond that, however, Hubert and Cummings both said they would hope simple morals would stop someone from sharing a revealing photograph. “I think it depends on the person. Like, in all honesty, technology wise, [sharing a photo is] super easy,” Cummings said. “All I have to do is swipe up, click the share button and it brings up text, email, social media ... it’s super easy to do it. Morally, I don’t think for me it’d be easy. I think I’d feel bad for doing it and for potentially shaming others.” Having photos shared is a big consequence students face when sexting, but Hubert says most people don’t consider that. “I don’t think people think of the consequences, just because a lot of things are in the moment,” she said. “People make mistakes, and that’s basically the take at it. People do things in the moment and will regret them later just because they don’t think.” Hubert also said she understands why sexting is prominent in our society and doesn’t judge people for it. “It’s kind of like, I’m not going to be a hypocrite because I understand why kids do this,” she said. “I was on every single side of this matter. Sex is an essential need of us as human beings, so I can understand doing it.”
MILLENNIALS NOT PREPARING FOR RETIREMENT Students should save more now, professors say

RAYMOND GARCIA ACADEMIC/EDUCATION REPORTER ragarcia@bsu.edu
Most college students aren’t saving for retirement, but one alumna began thinking about her future during her sophomore year of high school. Only 29 percent of millennials are actively saving for retirement, according to a study from the Insured Retirement Institute, an association for the retirement income industry, and the Center for Generational Kinetics, an organization that researches influences on different generations. But having a safety net has always been important for Hayley Andrews. Andrews majored in criminal justice and graduated May 2015. During high school, Andrews said her mom went into debt when she returned to college. “What stood out most to me was that she dipped into her retirement and used it all, as well as any other savings she had,” Andrews said. “She ended up having to rebuild it, and I don’t think she’ll ever get to where she was, let alone a place where she can retire without having to work.” Andrews’ parents divorced when she was 3 years old. Growing up, she said she has always saved money, and her father was adamant about having funds set aside for emergencies. Because of her mother’s financial troubles, Andrews wants to ensure financial stability for her future. She said it’s never too early to start planning. “I never want to be in that position. As a result, I have done what I can to start saving now,” Andrews said. “The most important variable is time. … Retirement funds grow exponentially over time.” Students tend to not plan ahead because retirement is in the distant future, and they feel optimistic about their health and their career, said Dan Boylan, an instructor of finance. “There’s just an overall feeling of ‘Let’s live for right now and never worry about tomorrow,’” Boylan said. “Eventually, when tomorrow comes, there’s going to be a problem.” Boylan said as soon as their college years are over and they enter the workforce, people should start saving for their future. “My opinion is you would start thinking about retirement right when you graduate and get your first job,” Boylan said.

70% of millennials think they will spend less than $36,000 per year in retirement expenditures.

Finance instructor Matt Henry said the earlier students start planning for retirement, the better. “One thing I tell people is get yourself in the habit of doing good things,” Henry said. “Find ways to do good things regularly, incorporate them into your lifetime.” The study found millennials have unrealistic expectations when it comes to how much money they will spend. Seventy percent of millennials believe they will spend less than $36,000 a year, but the current national spending average for people ages 65 to 74 is nearly $46,000. Henry said when people are in their early 20s, $36,000 seems like a lot of money. But once people reach age 30 or 40, they have major expenses such as housing and children. As millennials begin to earn more money and progress in their career, they get used to having more money and finding ways to spend it, Henry said. “I think everyone gets used to having that extra $100 in their checking account, then all of a sudden it becomes part of your normal routine to go out to eat once to twice more a week,” Henry said. Boylan suggested two actions for students to take when they graduate and get their first job. He said to buy houses in areas that go up in value and to contribute the maximum to their 401k or 403b plans. “If you did those two things, you’re going to be so much better off than anyone else,” Boylan said. “Reality is, the more you do, the better off you’ll be.”

Bench players provide depth for postseason Cardinals go into MAC tournament as No. 6 seed

ZACH CAINS VOLLEYBALL REPORTER @ZPC1329
Ball State women’s volleyball finished its regular season this past weekend, which set it up to be the sixth seed going into the Mid-American Conference tournament. After going 1-1 over the two-match home weekend, the Cardinals finished the regular season with an overall record of 14-16 (8-8). This record gave them the sixth seed in the conference tournament, forcing them to take the longest route to win the MAC postseason championship. They will have to play and win four consecutive matches in order to finish as champions. Four matches in four days will be a major test of endurance for the Cardinals, but signs of life from the bench over the weekend showed coach Steve Shondell that his team has the depth to play deep in the tournament and
remain strong. “We have been playing the starters a lot, and our bench hasn’t had the chance to really play in games for long periods,” Shondell said. “But we needed to play them as fatigue became an issue, and they really stepped up and showed they can play late when we need them.” The bench players, including three freshmen, played an important role in the team’s five-set victory against Central Michigan on Sunday by not only giving reprieve to starters, but also playing in the team’s role as well. Freshman defensive specialist Carly Cappello and freshman middle blocker Emily Holland, who scored 10 total kills over the weekend, were two players Shondell felt stepped up. “We played two teams that were in must-win situations and threw everything at us,” Shondell said. “We may have only won one, but they showed that they were in good form for the tournament.” Shondell attributes the players doing so well to their good performance in practice drills, and Shondell feels

A matchup with Brigham Young University on Nov. 14 was the first game on the schedule that the team’s decision threatened. Not playing against BYU would have hurt more than just Missouri’s image. Missing games at the collegiate level means breaking contracts between the competing schools, and boycotting this particular game would’ve resulted in a $1 million compensation to BYU. Athletics play a big role at any university in part because of the money the different teams collectively bring in. University of Missouri athletics pulled in $83.7 million in revenue in 2014, according to USA Today. Losing $1 million from the BYU game would have an effect on Missouri’s athletic income, but to Ball State, which made just $23.7 million from athletics in 2014, the same $1 million penalty for not playing would be more crushing. There are several monetary costs that make up a school’s athletic revenue,

247 yards and three touchdowns against the Bobcats. Head coach Pete Lembo saw the progression of his young quarterback throughout the game. “[Neal] got off to a little bit of a sluggish start, but he settled down nicely,” Lembo said. “He made some good decisions on some zone reads tonight and made some nice plays down the field on some play action passes.” Neal ran for most of his yards in the first half, but made some big plays in the second half as well. With just under 10 minutes remaining in the secsuch as TV deals and ticket sales. But missing a game would extend far beyond the money. “The actual monetary cost is one thing,” said David Ridpath, an associate professor at Ohio University and co-editor of Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics. “I think it would be greater than a million dollars, if not more. The actual public relations loss would be immeasurable.” Missouri’s athletic revenue is produced directly through sports and what they bring in. For example, ticket sales make up well over a fourth of the total revenue for the year. In home football games this season, the Tigers are averaging 66,229 fans per contest. On the contrary, Ball State is averaging 8,528 fans per game. To make up for other areas, more than half of the 201516 Ball State auxiliary fund budget for athletics comes from a student services fee, which students pay in addition to base tuition. Missouri doesn’t collect any money from a student services fee. Missouri ranked No. 32 out of 230 schools in the country in net revenue last year, while Ball State was No. 112.

the team had the best week of practice all season. “Not just the bench players, but our starters as well seemed to be on top of everything we did at practice, and it showed by their strong performance, especially on senior night,” Shondell said. The bench is in good form and the practice is going well, making the Cardinals a bigger threat going into the tournament. Having to go through more matches may seem like a daunting fact to some teams, but Shondell finds it as a positive. “Looking at last year’s tournament, we had a bye and lost, so having a bye gives no certain advantage,” Shondell said. “Western
Michigan had momentum winning in the first round last year and were able to beat us, so I feel like the more we play the more momentum we will have.” Ball State will face Buffalo (7-21; 6-10 MAC) in the first round, a team they beat earlier in the season in straight sets. That match will take place at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at Miami University. The winner will advance to face third seed Kent State (19-9; 13-3 MAC). “This is what we have been waiting and striving for all year,” Shondell said. “Now we just need to go out and play our best volleyball, and I see no reason why we can’t go through all four games.”
ond half and the Cardinals at their 9-yard line, Neal tied his career long with a 41yard run after a fake handoff to freshman James Gilbert. “It’s not designed necessarily, it was an option run for me,” Neal said. “It could have gone either way depending on how the defense wants to play it.” While his success on the ground was mostly held to the first half, he began to throw down the field in the second half. Neal’s favorite target on the night was redshirt junior receiver KeVonn Mabon, who finished with 139 yards on 10 receptions and
a 20-yard touchdown catch. A total of four receivers caught passes against Ohio, but Mabon and Jordan Williams caught 13 of the 16 completed balls. “Both of those guys, in my opinion, are some of the best receivers in the [Mid-American Conference],” Neal said. “Different defenses play different ways, ... it’s all based on what the defense wants to do.” Williams averaged 26 yards per catch on three receptions. Neal and his receivers will take on one of the MAC’s top teams in Bowling Green next week.

Women’s volleyball takes on Buffalo in the MAC Tournament in Athens, Ohio. The quarterfinal match will begin at 7:30 p.m.
Despite the discrepancy between the schools’ budgets, the money they bring in through athletics is important to each school. “There is a power that the student-athletes have,” said Terry Hutchens, a sports reporter who has covered Indiana University basketball and football for 18 seasons. “All you ever hear about is how the athletic department is making all of the money.” Ball State took on one of Missouri’s conference rivals this year in Texas A&M at College Station. The Cardinals were paid $1.2 million to play in a game in which they trailed 49-3 at halftime. In a situation where Ball State would’ve missed or boycotted the game for any reason, the university would’ve had to pay Texas A&M $1 million in compensation. A $2.2 million swing for not playing Texas A&M would’ve impacted the school’s athletic revenue, completely eclipsing the school’s expected $1,900,000 in guaranteed game revenue for next year. Sandy said he didn’t think the money Missouri would’ve had to pay for missing the game in itself played a role in former President Tim Wolfe’s resignation. The Ti-
ball in the air.” Ball State quarterback Riley Neal scored a 1-yard rush touchdown to make the score 28-10 at the half. The Cardinals got some offense going in the second half, but their defense couldn’t keep the Bobcats off the scoreboard long enough to mount a comeback. Neal
gers paid $250,000 for BYU to come play them at Arrowhead Stadium, and they would have had to play an additional $750,000 if the Tigers boycott had continued, according to Darren Rovell of ESPN.com. For a school that makes a lot of money from athletics, missing the game wouldn’t have too much of a strain on Missouri’s athletic budget. Missouri’s stand against its president was something of rarity, and it was felt in more ways than just its potential impact to the athletic budget. “I think it shows the power that athletes have, not only to bring attention to social activism, but also enact change,” Ridpath said.
Impact of Athletics
Ball State may play in the MAC, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t familiar with the national stage on which Missouri stands. In 2008, the Cardinals had an undefeated regular season and were ranked as high as No. 12 in the country before losing in the conference championship game. Years later, Ball State was one of the top teams in the conference with nowNFL players Keith Wenning and Willie Snead.
threw two touchdowns in the third quarter, but a touchdown and two field goals by Ohio kept hold of a nice lead. Neal finished 16-34 for 247 and three touchdowns. Jordan Williams and KeVonn Mabon were the recipients of Neal’s touchdowns. Mabon led the team with 10 receptions and 139 yards.
If an issue like this were to arise at Ball State, it might not dominate the national conversation like at Missouri. But Sandy said an issue like racism could have a big impact at any university if there is a group on campus that is passionate about it. “I think what would happen is — at any institution, no matter its size — if there are serious issues that are brought to light by faculty, staff or students, people need to pay attention to what people are saying and what the issues are that are important to them,” he said. Because sporting events are often televised — football in particular — athletes typically become the faces of the university for which they play. Intra-conference competition in MAC football is featured on ESPN networks during Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday night games. This is an opportunity for the conference to play in “prime-time,” because Power-5 conferences run the bigger cable networks on Saturdays. While football has been prominent at Missouri for years, a recent conference shift brought the Tigers to
Ohio struck first in the fourth quarter to extend the lead to 48-24. Sophomore Darian Green scored on a 10-yard run with 6:38 left in the fourth, but that was all Ball State could muster in the final period. Green rushed for 74 yards on 13 carries to lead the Cardinals. Bobcats’ running back
a new level on the college football food chain. As of July 2012, the Tigers joined the SEC — a conference that dominated the nation in bowl game revenue last season. The ever-expanding SEC Network covers every sport in the conference, which features four teams currently ranked in college football’s AP Top 25. An athletic team using its power to influence a decision is historically pretty rare. Missouri’s national prominence further highlighted the issue, along with the decision of the coaching staff to stand behind its players. Sandy said athletes should be aware of social issues and think for themselves. And when they do take a stand, others should want to be as supportive as they can. It’s all part of a life lesson, he added. “I think our coaches are very much supportive of the student-athlete experience,” Sandy said, “and they would stand behind our student-athletes on issues that were constructive and were sending a certain type of message. I think they would, yes.”
A.J. Oullette had the game’s best performance on the ground with 22 carries for 121 yards and two scores. With the loss, Ball State falls to 3-8 on the season and will host one of the top passing attacks in the nation in Bowling Green in its final game of the season on Tuesday.

A CUT ABOVE Student hairstylist has dreams of business ownership CARLI SCALF GENERAL REPORTER
It’s a busy Monday afternoon for sophomore Abi Wright, but that is not abnormal for her. She brushes product for tape-in extensions on one client and keeps an eye on another’s eyebrows, to which she applied bright pink dye. Some might be intimidated by the fast-paced professional work environment at local Muncie salon Hot Heads, but Wright is a full-time Ball State student and a part-time stylist. She’s used to balancing a lot of responsibilities at once. “It’s easier for me because I love school and my job so much that I don’t want to put one on the back burner,” she said. “I love them both — it just helps a little bit with the load.” Wright styles like a natural in the salon now, but she didn’t always have a passion for the job. “I actually did not care about hair until my first day of beauty school,” she said. Wright had never considered becoming a certified beautician until Muncie Area Career Center visited her Southside High School to speak about their dual program. “I thought, ‘Oh, that’s kind of cool,’ and so I did it, and now I love it,” she said. Wright enrolled in the program for her junior and senior years of high school. At her 2014 high school graduation, she received a high school diploma and her beauty school certification.

Hot Heads, a salon located on McGalliard Road, hired her soon after. Wright began her freshman year at Ball State in the fall of the same year. Wright, a public relations major with an entrepreneurial management minor, felt that completing her degree was important, despite the fact that it is not necessary for a career in the hair industry. She said she hopes to combine the skills she learns in school and her current experience to open a salon of her own. Tena Rees, co-owner of Hot Heads and a graduate of Ball State’s entrepreneurial program herself, said she’s been impressed with Wright since she joined the staff. “She’s the best stylist — she just has an intuitive sense of people and hair,” Rees said. “Usually, we have to put people right out of high school on an apprenticeship, but after just two months, [Wright] caught on. I’ve been doing this a long time, and most people take a year. She is a hard worker. She just gets it.” Wright’s position as a stylist has given her substantial opportunities for professional growth and hands-on experience with developing and maintaining customer relationships. “It was really hard at first to build my clientele, but word of mouth is a big deal,” she said. “People see other people’s hair and they say, ‘Where’d you
go?’ It’s a lot about reputation. I like that about it — other people are kind of like my business card.” Taylor Fabian, a freshman at Ball State, had never gotten her hair dyed professionally before she visited Wright during the fall of her senior year in high school. “I’ve loved it ever since,” she said. Wright also advertises and networks through Facebook and other social media. The valuable asset Wright has found at Hot Heads, beyond professional experience and portfolio building, is a deep connection with her small but tight-knit group of coworkers. She tears up when she talks about them. “We are a huge family. Every stylist there is my best friend,” she said. The Hot Heads crew goes out together to hair shows or dinner. Wright said she also loves that Hot Heads is a small business. “I get so much inspiration from my two business owners and everybody I work with. We feed off each other and are always growing,” Wright said. Back to Monday, and Wright has left her customer’s tape-in extensions to set and has started styling her other customer’s newly pink locks. “I want to put my whole life into a business like this one,” she said. All this is only the beginning.

(Left): Curling irons range from three-eighths of an inch to two inches. A smaller barrel makes a tighter curl, while a bigger barrel gives a bouncy and wavy style. (Right): A curling wand makes a looser curl. The style that a wand makes is a more natural hair texture look. (Above): A flat iron can make curls but in a different way than irons and wands. It creates more ringlets, crimps and waves.
For nice and tight spiral curls, a simple curling iron will do the trick. Just remember that the size of the curling iron determines the size of the curls. Curling irons can range from three-eighths of an inch to two inches. The smaller the barrel, the more tight and spiral-like the curl will be. A larger barrel with give the hair an effortless bouncy and wavy look. Curling irons also help to add a little bit of volume to your hair.

INDIANA: DON’T CLOSE BORDERS FOR SYRIAN REFUGEES CHRISTOPHER STEPHENS
AN OBVIOUS PROPOSAL
CHRISTOPHER STEPHENS IS A SENIOR JOURNALISM AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS MAJOR AND WRITES ‘AN OBVIOUS PROPOSAL’ FOR THE DAILY NEWS. HIS VIEWS DO NOT NECESSARILY AGREE WITH THOSE OF THE NEWSPAPER. WRITE TO CHRISTOPHER AT CASTEPHENS@BSU.EDU.
Today, a group of republican legislators and lawmakers are drafting legislation aimed at refusing to help refugees of Syria’s civil war because they are afraid. They are afraid because this weekend a group of young men picked up automatic rifles, strapped explosives to their chests and mercilessly slaughtered 129 people. And fear is exactly what those young men wanted to create. Fear to leave your home in case a bomb could go off at your destination, fear to sit next to someone on the bus that may dress, look or speak like the people who committed the attack and fear to show basic human decency to
a group of people fleeing for their lives from a country that is falling down around them. Well, it seems those angry young men may have achieved their goal, at least in part. Although President Obama has kept his promise to receive 10,000 refugees from Syria so far, it looks like they may have a hard time finding a place to live, and won’t, at least for the time being, find homes in Indiana. And all of this because the attacks on Paris may have been planned in Syria and one of the attackers had a passport on them that was used along the pathway Syrian refugees use. But that is a pretty flimsy reason to potentially sentence people to fight for survival all
winter in refugee camps that are quickly running out of food, water and clothing. Particularly because all but one of the Paris attackers were European nationals who, presumably, still had access to passports — not from Syria or Iraq — but from their home countries in Europe. Believing that the admittance of refugees from a wartorn state to settle in Indiana, or anywhere else in the United States, will lead to an attack only proves that terrorism works to close people’s ears to calls for help. So, let’s be clear: refusing to settle Syrian refugees in the U.S. and hardening hearts toward human kindness and compassion only furthers
the goal of ISIS and terrorist groups like them. They seek to make everyone just as intolerant and ignorant as they are. Instead, aspire not to fall into the trap of fearful hate and inaction by learning the full story of other cultures and people instead of basing your opinion on a handful of incidents. Instead of closing our borders to those in need, we should be accepting refugees with arms wide open, because if we don’t, then we are only showing that terror is a great tool for breeding fear. All it takes is a little bit of fear to change a nation from a beacon of hope to a nation afraid of someone because of the color of their skin or the language they speak.
Remember what happened after 9/11, where a whole new type of racism seemingly sprang up from the ground overnight? We cannot let that happen again, because if even one person dies because of our inaction in a camp designed to keep them safe from those who hate them for who they are, then we are no better than the terrorists who drove them to the camps in the first place. “Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph.” - Haile Selassie
I was in first grade when 9/11 occurred. For the last 14 years, I have wondered what it would have been like to experience it as an adult. I wondered, but did not wish. On Friday, I was given a taste. It was bitter. I lived in another country when it happened. I was asleep in my bed while my dad tearfully watched the news at 2 a.m. and called my mom, who was on a business trip to China. I do not remember the swirls of hate, fear, hurt that spun around in the world in the following days, weeks and months. Today, I
see it. A viral post from Nader Atassi on Facebook says, “Attacks like the ones [Nov. 13] in Paris are committed to purposely trigger an Islamophobic backlash. That backlash is not an unintended consequence of such attacks — it is part of their logic. ISIS types want an Islamophobic backlash because it lends credence to their narrative that there is a war between the West and Islam. By strengthening and emboldening the xenophobic right-wing in Europe, they strengthen their own worldview as well. And the
most tragic irony is that that backlash may target refugees who themselves had been fleeing ISIS’s reign of terror.” He is correct, and more than that, he has predicted the future of Mike Pence’s most recent announcement. Pence has announced that the state of Indiana will not receive Syrian refugees, and in saying that, he is giving terrorists what they want. Pence is becoming a purveyor of hate, and it is not the first time he has been one. I am all too reminded of how the Religious Freedom Act in the spring sent so many
people into anger about who is representing us. I have lived many places, but Indiana is slowly becoming the state in which I have lived the longest. Indiana is my home, and I have something I want to say to its leader. Mike Pence, this is the second time in a year you have insulted my home. The attacks on Paris are a snapshot of what has been happening in Syria for years — they are victims of this hate and violence just like the victims of the Bataclan massacre and those that fell in front of restaurants
— those that were slain in mid-sentence, mid-laugh, in the middle of living. This is not just an opinion column today, it is a plea, a beg to the public, to anyone willing to read this for a few seconds. Responding to these events with Islamophobia, aggression toward helpless refugees or any sort of intolerance is giving ISIS and other terrorists exactly what they want. Please don’t do it. Do not let them win.
