Trump signed a law banning certain acts of animal cruelty. Natalie Beach, cat technician and animal control officer at Muncie Animal Care, said the shelter takes in more than 3,000 animals every year, 20 to 40 percent of which experience abuse. Indiana ranks 10th overall for being one of the states with the best animal protection laws.

faced a 27-14 deficit to Miami (Ohio). The Cardinals went on to score 27 unanswered points and only allow one first down in the second half, leading to a 41-27 victory. This was Ball State’s second straight win on senior day and the first time the Red Bird Rivalry Trophy has resided in Muncie in its three-year existence.

Bumbalough was inserted into the starting lineup, and redshirt freshman guard Jarron Coleman went to the bench. Not only did men’s basketball head coach James Whitford say it was a valuable experience for Bumbalough, but it is something that can potentially help the offense find more of a rhythm down the road this season.

Gloria Steinem speaks at Ball State

Christy Tunnel, assistant clinical lecturer for nutrition and dietetics, advises that students eat a lot of vegetables and fruits with their holiday meals to leave room for sweets. PIXABAY, PHOTO COURTESY Jaden Hasse Reporter With the winter holiday season nearing, some people are getting ready for holiday meals.

Hudson French, freshman telecommunications major who plays first base for the National Club Baseball Association at Ball State, said he does his best to pay attention to what he eats.

“It’s hard sometimes,” French said.

“It’s easy to stay in my room. It’s easy to do classwork for hours. It’s easy to get on a game for an hour just to escape a little bit, but I want to push myself to be more proactive in watching what I eat.”

To address similar concerns people in

the Ball State community might have, Christy Tunnel, assistant clinical lecturer for nutrition and dietetics, shared tips for people to stay healthy during the holidays, in a press release.

She first suggested to make sure holiday plates are filled with a majority of greens, vegetables and fruits while still leaving some room for indulgence.

“The holidays bring lots of gatherings and are often filled with high-sugar and high-fat foods,” Tunnel said. “The key is to fill your plate with enough healthy options to feel full, yet still leave room for smaller servings of some decadent foods.”

When it comes to holiday snacks, she recommends consuming snacks that are healthy and homemade — listing

vegetables, peanuts and dark chocolate as good alternatives.

“Feeling energized during the holidays is just as much about getting the right nutrients into your body as it is about keeping extra calories at bay,” Tunnel said.

In addition to tracking food and beverage intake and maintaining a fitness routine, she also recommends avoiding skipping or saving meals for later.

Skipping meals, Tunnel said, leads to binge eating because people often satisfy their hunger with sugars and fats. Instead, she recommends making regular meals close to a quarter smaller than normal to avoid cravings and leave room for more food later.

REVIEWING THE DECADE 2010-2019

EMILY WRIGHT, DN ILLUSTRATION

Rohith Rao News Editor As a new decade approaches, Ball State President Geoffrey Mearns said there has been “excellent progress” at the university these past 10 years and feels the university is on track for a “brighter future” in the next.

Since Mearns took over as Ball State’s president in May 2017, he said, some of the university’s successes he’s proud of include growth in student enrollment, on-time graduation rates, expansion of on-campus facilities, alumni engagement and philanthropic support.

“I would be reluctant to take credit for any of the successes because I think the progress we make as an institution requires the collective commitment and engagement of all of our faculty, staff, our students and alumni,” he said.

One thing Mearns said he was more directly involved in is helping retain and recruit individuals to serve in leadership roles at the university.

“I’m really pleased and proud with the quality of people who have decided to join our leadership team — whether it’s people who are serving as vice presidents or the deans that we’ve been able to attract during this time,” Mearns said.

Going into the next decade, Mearns said, the most visible change Ball State students will see is the physical transformation of the campus —

with an academic building, two residence halls, a dining hall, the Multicultural Center and a green lawn following the tearing down of the Emens parking garage.

“I think anyone who comes to campus will continue to see the evolution and transformation of the physical space,” he said.

Prior to his arrival to the university, Mearns said, Ball State played a national leadership role in providing experiential learning opportunities to students in their third and fourth years of education.

As part of its Strategic Plan, he said, the university’s goal is to bring those opportunities to first- and second-year students, provide them exposure to immersive learning courses and provide opportunities for them to participate in cocurricular activities.

“We want to do that earlier in the educational experience,” Mearns said. “It will be helpful for the students to have the challenge associated with those learning experiences early on, as opposed to simply being passive recipients of knowledge and content.”

Apart from Ball State’s partnership with the Muncie Community Schools, he said the university’s work in the community “continue to create a more vibrant Muncie, which we know that our students want.”

Students, Mearns said, want the ability to visit restaurants, parks and other entertainment in the Muncie community beyond the opportunities offered on campus.

“I believe over the next five to 10 years, you’re going to see the continued transformation and revitalization of Muncie,” he said.

One area Mearns said the university wants to continue focusing its time and attention on is supporting students who seek the services of Ball State’s Counseling Center.

“That is an issue that is challenging colleges and universities all across the country, but we certainly want to be attentive and responsive to the students who are seeking that important support,” he said.

Reversing the decline in first-to-second-year retention rates and improving the student experience for those who aren’t on-campus undergraduate students, Mearns said, were some other areas the university could improve on.

After Ball State students become alumni, Mearns said, he hopes they will continue being engaged with the university.

“As we continue toward this path toward an even brighter future, we want our students, after they graduate, to stay engaged with the institution, continue to be a part of the growth of the institution and continue to be a part of the impact that our institution can have on our community, on our region, on our state and on our country,” he said.

SUCCESSES

AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT

Enrollment:

First-to-second-year retention rates:

With 22,541 students, Ball State started the fall 2019 semester with the largest overall student enrollment in its history. The university also welcomed its largest-ever freshman class in fall 2019 with 4,063 new freshmen.

Ball State’s retention rates have been dropping every year for the past five years. Mearns announced a task force in August 2019 to combat the issue and create a strategy to improve the retention rate.

Year-by-year rate:

On-time graduation:

2018

78.30%

In 2017, 45 percent of all Hoosier students who attend a public four-year campus graduated on time. Ball State increased its on-time four-year undergraduate graduation rate from 2016 to 2018.

2017

78.50%

On-time four-year graduation rate: 2016

2018

2016

81.35%

2015

81.67%

2014

81.70%

2013

46.8%

54.2%

The university has a goal of increasing this number to 60 percent by 2024.

On-campus facilities: Since 2010, Ball State has constructed at least 10 new on-campus buildings, the most recent being the Health Professions Building in fall 2019. In the coming years, the university will see the demolition of the LaFollete Complex, nearly one half of the Cooper Science Building, the current Multicultural Center and other houses and the Emens Parking Structure. It will also see the construction of the Foundational Science Building, North Dining Hall, two new residence halls, the New York Parking Structure, the Indoor Practice Center and a new Multicultural Center.

Alumni engagement and philanthropy: Mearns said Ball State raised more than $33 million in new commitments last academic year. In spring 2019, the university debuted “One Ball State Day,” a one-day fundraising event where it raised more than $424,000. The next time the event will be held is April 7, 2020.

2019 Annual Donor Commitment: $33,748,518

2019 One Ball State Day: $424,597 raised through 3,770 gifts

2012

78.88% 77.00%

2011

79.40%

2010

79.60%

2009

78.40%

Non-undergraduate student experience: In 2019, of the 6,000-plus new students admitted to Ball State, 23 percent were not first-time or transfer undergraduate students. Mearns said the university could improve in providing flexible and innovative learning opportunities for online and on-campus students pursuing graduate studies, hybrid courses, low-residency courses, students at Ball State’s Indianapolis campus and other types of students.

Counseling Center: Since August, Ball State’s Counseling Center has had more than 1,100 students request its services — more than half the number of students who utilized the center last academic year. To counter this, the center started Care Planning Group appointments in November. Mearns said the university will continue focusing its time and attention in supporting students who use the center’s services.

“If you’re eating on campus in one of the food courts, find a meal that you know is relatively healthy, and make that your goto for when you’re stressed for time,” Tunnel said.

French said he doesn’t skip meals often, normally only skipping them before games, but now that he’s away from home at college, he’s more likely to skip regular meals to “savor the homecooking more,” especially during the winter holidays.

Not everything he avoids is strictly because he wants to maintain shape, however. French said health problems in his family restrict his diet as well.

“It is a combination of things — high blood pressure and stuff like that. Bread [and] carbs kind of run things up a little bit,” he said. “Recently, I’ve been trying to watch it more and understand how it works in the family.”

French said he has heard advice similar to Tunnel’s in the past and is willing to apply the tips.

“It sounds like everything I’ve been told as a child,” he said.

“It’s definitely something I’d be down to try … because I feel that ultimately, it might just make me feel better.”

TIPS FOR PEOPLE TO STAY HEALTHY DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASON

Remember that not all party food is created equal

Tunnel recommends people fill 80 percent of their holiday plate with greens, vegetables and fruits, leaving 20 percent for other indulgent foods.

Don’t skip meals

Saving calories for later, especially before a big party, Tunnel said, could lead to binge eating.

An hour before a party, she advises people to eat a balanced snack containing a mixture of protein and carbohydrates.

Watch out for portion distortion

Tunnel said choosing a smaller plate can also help keep portions small, and practicing mindful eating can help people slow down and enjoy their meals.

Watch what you drink

Limiting consumption of high-calorie beverages like eggnog and hot buttered rum, Tunnel said, can help people maintain their waistline. Tunnel said when people drink more water throughout the day, they eat fewer total calories.

Commit to making healthy meals and snacks at home

While people might have dozens of holiday parties to attend, Tunnel recommends people to make good healthy meals when they are at home.

Keep a fitness routine

Keeping as much movement as possible, Tunnel said, will help people burn off unwanted pounds.

She recommends aiming for one structured training session per week.

Ball State Women’s Volleyball prepares for first NCAA Tournament match since 2011.

Ian Hansen Reporter The Cardinals are going to The Big Dance.

Ball State Women’s Volleyball (20-11,11-5 MAC) is heading to Lincoln, Nebraska, to take on fifth-seeded Nebraska (25-4,115 Big 10) in the first round of the NCAA Women’s Volleyball Tournament Friday at 7 p.m.

This will be the first time the Cardinals have been to the tournament since 2011 where they made it to the second round, defeating St. Louis before falling short to Louisville. Head coach Kelli Miller Phillips said she is glad to be able to continue

the successful history of the program.

“It is awesome to add to the tradition of Ball State volleyball,” Miller Phillips said. “We talked a lot about this moment with our seniors and seeing their hard work pay off each year. We have gotten better each and every year.”

Nebraska has two players from Indiana: freshman defensive specialist Kenzie Knuckles from Yorktown and sophomore defensive specialist Megan Miller from Alexandria. As far as the Cornhuskers as a whole, Miller Phillips said she doesn’t see a lot of weakness in the Nebraska squad, but the Cardinals are

Eighteen points on 25 percent shooting proved costly for Ball State Men’s Basketball, as a first-half slump put the Cardinals in a hole they couldn’t get out of, falling to Loyola Chicago, 70-58. Along with poor shooting in the first half, the Cardinals turned over the ball 12 times in the first 20 minutes of play.

looking to take advantage of any they find in the match.

“It will be kind of neat to face off against some local players,” Miller Phillips said. “They are really strong and do not have a ton of glaring weaknesses.

That is going to be our job to figure out where and what those weaknesses are per rotation, and how we can exploit that and use our strengths.”

For the Cardinals, Miller Phillips said, it is about sticking true to who they are and what has been successful for them all season long. It is about remaining calm and not letting the bright lights phase them.

Trip to Bahamas results in 2-game split Ball State Women’s Basketball took a break from the cold this week and traveled down south to the Bahamas for the Hoopfest Tournament, joined by the likes of Wisconsin, Arkansas, Fordham and Lehigh. The Cardinals went 1-1 in the tournament, grabbing a buzzer-beating win over the Mountain Hawks and falling short to the Badgers. The Cardinals have just five non-conference matchups left before taking on the MidAmerican Conference in January.

Continued from Page 07 “Because they are No. 5, we have to think about being us and not changing everything,” senior middle blocker Sydnee VanBeek said. “We got to where we are for a reason, and we know what we are doing. We have to keep the nerves calm and be us.”

An area where Ball State has been working on cleaning up is its defense and blocking with how physical Nebraska is.

The Cardinals want to adjust to their opponent just like any other game. In their final match against Ohio State Nov. 30, the Cornhuskers swept the Buckeyes, picking up 34

08 kills and nine blocks. In the Cardinals’ last match against Bowling Green, Ball State tied the Falcons in blocks with nine.

“We have been really cleaning up our defense and blocking,” freshman outside hitter Natalie Risi said. “No matter who we play, we can adjust. We just want to get good touches, and we have been cleaning up our side of the ball.”

Another adjustment for Ball State is going to be playing against a bigger, more physical team. This is the complete opposite of the Cardinals, who are smaller and quicker. This is a trend between the Mid-American Conference and the Big 10.

“It is pretty different,” Miller Phillips said. “The Big 10 plays with a different tempo because

While the Cardinals are looking to win, they also want to soak in playing tournament volleyball for the first time in almost a decade.

Miller Phillips said she wants to keep things in perspective and just enjoy the moment.

That’s what a typical day is like for John Banes, a 2016 Ball State musical theatre alumnus, who has performed on cruise ships for the past three years, traveling to five continents and more than 30 countries.

“On any cruise ship at any time, the crew on board, the people that become a home away from home — [they] represent at least 50 different nationalities,” Banes said. “What I’ve learned is that while the people of the world have many incredible,

John Banes, 2016 Ball State musical theatre alumnus (center), will perform as part of a 12-person cast for “Broadway Beats” on Carnival Cruise Line’s newest ship, “Carnival Panorama.” Banes said within the cast, there are four dancers, four dancers who sing and four singers who dance. He is one of the dancers who sings. CARNIVAL CRUISE LINE, PHOTO PROVIDED teaching professor of theatre, said becoming a performer like Banes on cruise ships is “a natural progression” for theater and dance students after graduation.

“For [students] who really like

to sing and dance, it’s a great way to get started in the business,” Hellems said. “It’s easier than going to New York, and just walking the streets for auditions and all that. They make fantastic

money. They see the world …

We’ve had several [students] who have gone that route.

From his time as Banes’ vocal coach, Hellems said, he thought Banes’ was talented, driven,

responsive and coachable.

“He’s just one of my favorite people that I’ve ever worked with,” Hellems said. “Just because of his willingness and his desire to not just get in the business and not just be famous, but he wanted to learn about the business, and he wanted to learn skills and wanted to get better all the time.”

Being an entertainer on a cruise ship is different than a typical theater show, Banes said, because of the additional rehearsals and training he has to prepare for.

“Most [cruise ship] performances are at night after the ship has already departed whatever port it visited that day, out on the open water,” Banes said. “So, the ground on which you perform moves … Imagine doing a leap and the ground not consistently being in the same

place.”

While “Carnival Panorama” will begin its inaugural threeday voyage to Ensenada, Mexico, Dec. 11 Banes said his family will see him perform in spring 2020 for the first time since graduating from Ball State.

“The people that come to see shows on cruise ships are not typically the same people that go to see theater on land,” Banes said. “The arts, to me, are the connective tissue between all people everywhere. My highest hope for people who see our shows is that they debark at the end of their cruise vacation and become regular patrons at theaters in their respective communities.”

Ball State senior pursues interests in politics, nonprofit work in Washington, D.C. Lydia Kotowski spent her summer in ‘the policy center of the country’ interning with the Washington Council of Lawyers.

Madeleine Mills-Craig Reporter One of the first books senior political science major Lydia Kotowski said she remembers reading was a gross anatomy book for toddlers.

Kotowski’s interest in the health professional field continued from there, she said, until her sophomore year at Ball State when she decided to pursue political policy instead.

“I have always been someone who likes to fix things,” Kotowski said. “The medical profession is a helping profession. Law, taken the right way, is a helping profession.

That’s always been my nature — to fix things and to help.”

When Kotowski opened her email while at work in February of this year, she said, she cried because she not only saw she was accepted into a summer internship program through The Fund for American Studies (TFAS), but she also received a scholarship covering the total cost of the trip.

“I was fortunate enough that I got a phenomenal internship with the Washington Council of Lawyers, which is a volunteer bar association that works with pro bono and public interest matters,” Kotowski said.

“Essentially, what they do is they help educate the D.C. and national legal community on how lawyers can provide pro bono services … They do a lot of professional development for new lawyers to help them really start on the right foot with both networking connections as well as being a really ethical lawyer.”

Kotowski said because Washington D.C. is a hub for lawyers and legal matters, she was looking for a way to have a legal internship in the district to see a lot of her different interests come together.

To receive the scholarship, Kotowski worked closely with Andrea Wolfe, an assistant teaching professor of English.

“She just seems really wellorganized,” Wolfe said. “She’s collected, and knows what she

wants to do and is able to take the steps to bring those goals to fruition. She does it several times very reliably throughout her college career. I think she’s a really impressive student.”

At her internship, Kotowski helped conduct research for the council and helped design social media campaigns. Some of the research she did was over immigration law, civil rights and civil liberties issues occurring today, such as gay marriage, non-cis gendered issues and race issues.

“From the legal side, I did some research about things that the council had done in the ’70s and ’80s where they worked with Congress to make it legal for government lawyers, and legal aids and other people in the legal field to provide public-interest services because prior to that, they weren’t allowed,” Kotowski said.

“I was researching some of that so that when they celebrate their 50th anniversary in a couple years, they have all that information ready.”

Prior to her internship,

Kotowski had created a nonprofit organization in Muncie called the Beneficence Family Scholars Program. Because of her past experience in nonprofit work, Kotowski said, she helped revise and edit government documents during her internship.

While in the district, Kotowski said, she also had the opportunity to meet with a variety of different people in her profession, which was the most gratifying portion of her trip to her.

“I got to chat with some of the lawyers who actually argued and wrote briefs for Obergefell v. Hodges, which was the case in 2015 that legalized same-sex marriage, and so getting to chat with them was really, really amazing,” Kotowski said. “I got to meet Elena Kagan, one of the Supreme Court justices. She was brilliant. Just getting to learn from really incredible people was my favorite part of the internship.”

Kotowski said she plans to go to law school in fall 2020 and move near Louisville, Kentucky, where her fiance co-owns a small

business. Although she has many different career options, she said, she hopes to expand the pro bono practice in the Midwest.

“I have a huge love and respect for nonprofit work because I think that is one of the great things about America is that we have such an active nonprofit sector in our country,”

Kotowski said. “I think there are so many ways that can be improved to help the people who those nonprofits serve, have a greater voice and greater ability to navigate our country than what currently exists.”

12.05.19 Endlessly Thinking:

I’ll wear what I want Why we need to stop shaming ourselves for others being unable to control themselves

Drew Locklear is a junior journalism major and writes “Endlessly Thinking” for The Daily News.

Her views do not necessarily agree with those of the newspaper.

Every morning, Drew I chuck Locklear numerous Columnist, tops onto my Endlessly bed because Thinking they just aren’t quite what I want to wear that day. I rummage through my overflowing closet until I finally find the top — the one that makes me feel unstoppable and the only one that matches my mood for the day.

I walk out of my room, feeling satisfied knowing that I’m wearing my ideal outfit for the day and that I won’t be overthinking it.

All of that comes to a halt when I feel it.

I think I can confidently say the majority of people have felt it too — the feeling of those eyes gazing over us as though they could never be caught, as though we aren’t ourselves. That what we wear defines us, and that if I’m wearing a tight dress, it means I want someone to ask me for my number — that I’m asking for that attention.

“That’s what you’re wearing?” is something I,

and I’m sure others, no matter their gender, have heard from their parents, a friend, a spouse, a stranger or really anyone who just wants to tell us their opinion — an opinion we didn’t ask for.

The worst is when you actually question your look.

There have been situations where I’ve asked myself why I even chose a certain outfit.

“I saw that man’s look, and I know that is what I’ll be getting all day. If I can’t handle these looks, then maybe I shouldn’t be wearing this in the first place,” I think sometimes. I’ll keep thinking this until sometimes it becomes too much, and I go home and change.

But why should I have to change because others can’t simply avert their eyes and accept that I am comfortable and happy without their remarks? Why do they get to assume who I am based on my clothes?

I like to think that no matter what others think, I’ll wear what I want, but sometimes, the judgement, verbal or silent, is too much to handle.

This needs to change. Just because I wear a low-cut top or no bra does not mean I am less worthy of respect or that I want to be harassed.

Something I’ve always heard growing up is that girls need to cover up as to not distract the boys. Between the U.S. and Canada, roughly 100 news stories about breaking

dress codes have been written between 2013-18, according to a 2019 study by Meredith Neville-Shepard. While I don’t personally remember anyone being sent home for their attire, when I was in middle school, if a girl was wearing an outfit that showed her shoulders, she would be given a sweatshirt to cover up. Many young women and girls have talked about similar situations, such as being sent home from school or told to cover up for bra straps showing, for not wearing a bra, wearing tops that reveal collarbones or shoulders and even a principal telling their students they must be a size 0 to 2 in order to wear leggings, otherwise they will look “fat.”

This is a way to body shame female students through the “rules” of the education system.

These dress codes, whether official or not, and judgements on what people wear, start at an early age, and it doesn’t get better as we get older.

I’ve been shamed for my choice of clothing and sexualized over outfits that were in no way revealing. A couple weeks ago, I was walking through Walmart by myself, wearing an oversized denim jacket over a T-shirt with no bra, leggings and boots. My jacket covered my breasts, and I felt comfortable in what I wore. On my way out of the store after checking out, a man, probably in his late 30s, looked me up and down, and I stopped to stare

back, in shock of how blatantly he was doing this.

He then said the word “sexy” to me, and I said, “What the f***?” out loud.

How could he think that was OK? He sexualized me out loud and in public — not that any situation is OK for someone to do this. I was just in shock of how bold he was about it — and instead of responding to me, he didn’t even acknowledge me. He just kept walking as though nothing had happened, leaving me in shock.

This past summer, I visited some family in North Carolina. It was a hot day, about 90 degrees, and I wore a tube top without a bra and jeans out. My dad asked if I was sure I wanted to wear that outfit out, and I said yes.

I received a lot of looks as we went through the store that made me insecure to say the least — it seemed to be obvious to the other shoppers that I wasn’t wearing a bra.

After we left, I went home to change, and my dad told me he didn’t care what I wore. He was worried about protecting me from how I was feeling.

The comments the people close to us share about our clothing are usually out of concern for our safety — like my dad’s comments. In my experience, they don’t care

about what we wear. They’re simply worried about others and their reactions. They know some people won’t hold themselves back and won’t care about how their actions make us feel.

I preached to my dad that it didn’t matter what anyone had to say about my outfit. I chose it, and that’s all that mattered.

However, my confidence didn’t stop me from seeing those eyes and having a slight feeling of shame wash over me. I asked myself if my outfit was too revealing or if I was embarrassing myself by wearing this.

The idea that what we wear determines the attention we want from others and is even perceived as a green light for others to harass us has been normalized. In a survey conducted by The Independent, a British online magazine, it was found that 55 percent of males and 41 percent of females agree that the clothing one wears determines their likelihood of experiencing sexual misconduct. This ideology is a huge part of victim blaming — that if they just covered up, maybe they’d not have been harassed or assaulted.

Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN) says only 23 percent of sexual assaults are reported

to police. Many of these go unreported due to shame, guilt, humiliation and fear of not being believed or fear that their perpetrator will not be held responsible.

Tolerating victim blaming keeps people quiet and convinces them their assault is their fault for a variety of reasons — one of those reasons being what they were wearing.

It’s a frustrating thing to see the people who are judging me with their eyes or even undressing me with them. It can feel like everyone has an opinion, and none of them feel good. But while I’ve been in college, I’ve noticed people with insane confidence and carefree attitudes when it comes to what they wear. It’s liberating to see, and being surrounded by this energy on a consistent basis, along with maturing and growing into myself, I’ve noticed myself developing those same characteristics. My style has become more bold, and as I’ve experimented with it, I’ve come across a refreshingly proud feeling that I’m unfamiliar with and can’t get enough of.

I can finally say I’ve reached a point that I wear what I want, and aside from taking concerns from my dad, for instance, into consideration, I’m not

concerned about what anyone has to say about my clothes.

For me, it’s a matter of remembering that my opinion is the only one worth listening to. I chose my outfit because I love it, and I’m wearing it out because it makes me feel good and I want people to see that and feel my happiness, too.

These systems set in place telling women what they can or cannot wear, as if wearing a skirt that shows more skin than a pair of jeans means women are promiscuous or want attention, are the same ones that perpetuate the idea that women are objects and simply things to be controlled for the sake of men and their sexual desires.

We need to get to the point that what one wears genuinely doesn’t matter, and the first step is showing the world we don’t care what it has to say. Own what you wear because it’s your body, your clothes and your choice. I feel amazing now, no matter what I wear, and I hope we all can reach that point because it’s what we deserve. It isn’t your responsibility to help people control themselves — all you should be worried about is picking the top that makes you feel unstoppable.

WHAT CAN YOU DO? 1 Create a

distraction:

Do what you can to interrupt the harassment, or distract those taking part in the harassment.

But remember to make sure you aren’t putting yourself in danger by doing this. If someone seems like they could become violent, do not draw their attention.

2 Ask

directly: Talk directly with the person who is being harassed. If they are being harassed at work or school, offer to accompany them any time they have to meet with the harasser. If a friend is worried about walking alone to their car at night, offer to walk with them.

3 Refer to an

authority:

The safest way to intervene for both you and the person being harassed may be to bring in an authority figure.

You can talk to another employee, security guard, RA in your dorm, bartender or bouncer, and they will often be willing to step in.

Continued from Page 08 “We had a really good system in Illinois,” Adkisson said. “I played a lot of good teams and a lot of good players on different teams, so I learned about different players and how to adjust around them.”

Although the Cardinals do not have any players from Indiana on their roster, nine of the team’s 20 players are from Illinois.

According to a study by the National Federation of State High School Associations, Illinois had 7,341 participants in high school boys’ volleyball during the 201819 school year — second in America behind California.

Head coach Joel Walton said he believes Illinois has the deepest talent pool of boys’ high school volleyball players in the country.

“We are fortunate to be close to Illinois,” Walton said. “The clubs that were primarily developed for girls way back in the day have now opened up their doors, and they’re including boys into their business model. The guys are having great opportunities to play for their high school teams, and they’re gaining valuable experience.”

Of the team’s four freshmen, three of them are from Illinois: Adkisson, setter David Flores (Lincoln-Way West) and middle attacker Will McPhillips (Lincoln-Way East). All three attended high school within a 50mile radius from Chicago.

McPhillips and Flores were recruited by the Cardinals in November 2018 and April 2019, respectively. Adkisson, on the other hand, is a recent addition to the team after successfully earning a libero position through a walk-on tryout this fall.

“Sammy’s doing a very good

job,” Walton said. “From what I’ve heard from the guys, he’s earned a lot of respect already. He’s been working hard and improving — he has a great attitude, and we’re pleased with his progress.”

Junior setter Quinn Isaacson, who attended Plainfield North High School in Plainfield, Illinois, said both his high school and club experience greatly prepared him for Ball State.

In his junior year of high school, Isaacson played alongside another eventual Midwest Intercollegiate Volleyball Association standout in Kyle Piekarski, who is now a senior middle blocker for Loyola-Chicago.

“Playing at Plainfield North was awesome,” Isaacson said.

“I got to play with a lot of really good talent throughout those years. Add onto that with my club experience and some of my best friends I’ve ever played with.”

Isaacson said playing consistently throughout his club and high school years significantly developed his leadership skills in addition to having parents with coaching experience.

“I’ve been a leader kind of my whole life with some of the teams I’ve played with,” Isaacson said.

“Through club, I played with the same team for five years. It’s something that’s come naturally to me.”

The Cardinals’ nine players from Illinois are rounded out by junior libero Colin Ensalaco (Sandburg), senior outside attacker Blake Reardon (Joliet Catholic), senior middle attacker Nate Amos (Lake Zurich), sophomore middle attacker Felix Egharevba (Naperville Central) and sophomore outside attacker Nick Martinski (Elk Grove).
