New football class ranks 5th in MAC

Two trustees to resign Members spent about 10 years in board seats

JAKE FOX AND RACHEL PODNAR news@bsudailynews.com

Frank Hancock and Marianne Glick, two members of the Ball State Board of Trustees, are planning to resign from the board. Both submitted resignation

letters to Governor Mike Pence on Dec. 17. Former President Paul W. Ferguson’s resignation was approved by the Board of Trustees on Jan. 25 and described as a “mutual decision” between Ferguson and the university. Glick and Hancock’s resignation letters, which were written in December, do not hint at Ferguson’s future resignation. “The timing is un-

fortunate but I had no clue when they would release (the resignation letter),” Glick said. Both Hancock and Glick spent about 10 years on the board. Dustin Meeks, the student representative of the Board of Trustees, said the reasons for the resignations are “their own private business,” but that “we should see their replacements relatively soon.”

Hancock mentioned in his letter to Pence his opinion that fresh faces and term limits are needed for any organization. He wrote, “The Ball State Board of Trustees now with a new president very much different than Jo Ann [Gora, regarding Ferguson] needs some fresh faces, new ideas on its board as well.” Vice chair Hancock

joined board in 2006 and was vice president in 2012 and 2013. He kept his role, albeit with a different title, in January 2014. The Ball State alumnus (class of 1970) is also the founder and owner of Sport Graphics Inc., a company that helped create the “graphic identities” for Scheumann Stadium and Worthen Arena.

Eighteen players recruited under Lembo keep commitments

CHASE AKINS GENERAL REPORTER @akins27_akins

When former head coach Pete Lembo resigned to join Maryland, it left Ball State with an extra challenge to deal with — retaining all the players he recruited. His assistant coaches managed to do just that, keeping all 18 recruited players interested up until they signed the dotted line on National Signing Day Wednesday. New Ball State head coach Mike Neu said he was impressed with the coaches’ ability to hold the recruiting class together. “I think the biggest challenge was not being able to meet these kids and meet their families,” Neu said. “The challenge was trying to get out and meet their families, and to make sure that they felt good about who they’re turning their son over to, and that was important.” Ball State’s class was ranked fifth in the Mid-American Conference by 247Sports. Western Michigan held the top spot in the conference, and only Massachusetts, Toledo and Miami were ranked higher than Ball State. Following an 3-9 season, Ball State is poised to return six starters on offense and nine on defense for the 2016-2017 season.

COUNCIL PROPOSAL CALLS FOR TRUSTEE TRANSPARENCY Students aren’t the only ones demanding transparency regarding former President Paul W. Ferguson’s resignation in January. The Faculty Council proposed a resolution at its meeting Thursday, calling on the Board of Trustees to provide more transparency. The proposal is just a draft, and the faculty council is still looking into it. The immediate goal, as stated by the resolution, is “disclosure about the instant case,” but the draft also calls for a change in how trustees are chosen. The resolution suggests mirroring the way Indiana University’s board works — with alumni electing one-third of the members. Currently the governor appoints all nine trustees. The draft also asks for the board to not sign a contract with a prospective president that includes nondisclosure agreements when taxpayer dollars are being used. “Ball State University’s reputation is being negatively impacted by the lack of transparency,” the resolution said. “Rumors and speculation are the result of lack of information.” According to Ferguson’s resignation contract, he may be paid about half a million dollars in severance. The proposal stated that because students pay so much annually in tuition and the public official’s salary is public information, students and faculty deserve to be given a reason. The search for a new president will likely cost the state of Indiana more than $100,000, according to the resolution. “The Board of Trustees of Ball State University has refused repeated requests by taxpayers and alumni for an explanation for the reason for the expenditure of hundreds of thousands of dollars, claiming the contract prohibits disclosure,” the resolution said. “The Board of Trustees ... should never have agreed to forfeit the taxpayers’ right to know how their money is being spent.”

Alumnus, men’s volleyball coach fights back after almost losing sport he grew up with ELIZABETH WYMAN VOLLEYBALL REPORTER

@heavens_2betsey

oel Walton gave up higher pay and a company car to fill a job opening as the assistant men’s volleyball coach at Ball State University in 1990. While he was the head coach in the 2004-05 season, it began to look as if he made the wrong decision. The Ball State athletics department had tough decisions to make. Funds were tight and several programs were on the brink of being eliminated one option being men’s volleyball. Walton was unsure if the historic program would remain or if he’d be without a job. “Within the department, I was a dead man walking,” Walton said. “I would go down the hall and I would see our administrators duck into an office so they wouldn’t have to walk by me and say hello or say anything. It was like [I was] walking around and there was this black cloud walking around me.”

Rick Snyder’s administration were aware of a surge in Legionnaires’ disease potentially linked to Flint’s water long before the governor reported the increase to the public last month, internal emails show. When he disclosed the spike in Legionnaires’ cases on Jan. 13, Snyder said he had learned about it just a couple of days earlier.

COSBY CASE COULD HINGE ON 2 ISSUES PHILADELPHIA (AP) — With one crucial legal battle out of the way, at least two more loom in the sexual assault case against Bill Cosby: whether prosecutors can use his explosive testimony from a decadeold lawsuit, and whether other Cosby accusers can testify. The TV star is accused of drugging and violating former Temple University employee Andrea Constand at his Philadelphia home in 2004. An epic fight is all but certain over

But emails obtained by the liberal group Progress Michigan through public records requests and shared with The Associated Press show Snyder’s own office was aware of the outbreak since last March. At the time, others in the administration were scrambling to respond to suggestions that bacteria in the city’s new water source, the Flint River, could be the culprit.

The one-day meeting, held under tight security at a conference center near Parliament, aspired to bring new urgency to the effort to help the 4.6 million Syrians who have sought refuge in neighboring countries including Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey. Another 6 million people or more are displaced within Syria, and a quarter of a million have been killed.

Testifying in a lawsuit that Constand brought against him, Cosby acknowledged that he pursued sex with younger, often-struggling models and actresses; that he obtained quaaludes in the 1970s to give to women he hoped to seduce; and that he had sexual contact with Constand after giving her wine and pills. He said it was consensual.

Millions will watch 50th Super Bowl game on Sunday

RAYMOND GARCIA ACADEMIC/EDUCATION REPORTER ragarcia@bsu.edu

This Sunday, millions of people will gather in front of the television to watch the Denver Broncos and the Carolina Panthers face off against each other in the Super Bowl. For major sports fans, the Super Bowl marks one of the biggest nights of the year. Sophomore accounting major Andrew Caratini said he has a strong passion for sports and feels a genuine connection to them. “I think sports are an outlet for people just as reality shows and Netflix binges are for others,” Caratini said. “They are great ways to express yourself.” David Perkins, a professor of psychological science, said competition has always been present through history and has shaped the way humans are today. “Sports is a sense of competition, it is a sense of winners and losers, success and failure,” Perkins said. Most people tend to lead predictable lives, so following sports can offer a break in routine, Perkins said. “I think it is fair to say that we have more leisure

time than humans typically had in most of our history, so we can afford to get a release from the predictable and not very exciting dayto-day activities,” he said. Watching sports is something that Skylar Lay, a freshman sport administration, enjoys doing with his friends. “Whenever I’m watching sports, it’s usually with a group of friends to connect with one another and have a good time,” Lay said. Lay said he finds himself yelling at the television while watching a sporting competition, especially when one of his favorite teams is playing. Perkins said people tend to get an emotional charge watching sports. “There must be some emotional rush that people feel when they see some unpredictable contest going on where there is clearly going to be success and failure,” Perkins said. Lay thinks sports are a big deal because they give people something different to do. He said he and his friends enjoy their rivalries. “All my friends are pretty dedicated when it comes to sports, and they definitely will defend their team,” Lay said, “As stupid as it sounds, you like one team and the other person likes the other team, it’s like a feud and it’s not even that big of a deal.”

MACKLEMORE’S PROFIT NEGATES HIS ACTIVISM LEVI TODD LEAVE IT TO LEVI LEVI TODD IS A SOPHOMORE ENGLISH MAJOR AND WRITES “LEAVE IT TO LEVI” FOR THE DAILY NEWS. HIS VIEWS DO NOT NECESSARILY AGREE WITH THOSE OF THE NEWSPAPER. WRITE TO LEVI AT LCTODD@BSU.EDU.

I’m not gonna lie, I went to a Macklemore show when I was in high school. It was just after “The Heist” came out, when I had memorized the words to songs like “Thrift Shop”, “White Walls” and “Same Love.” And it was a great show. At the time, I thought it was one of the best I’d been to. Now that I’m a bit older and have seen more of Macklemore’s career, I’m more leery of both his music and the praise we give him as a rapper. Recently, Macklemore released a song called “White Privilege II” featuring Jamila Woods (who is an insanely talented musician and poet and will never hear a single negative word from me). The song explains the meaning behind this year’s political buzzword and Macklemore’s personal experiences confronting his own privilege. It features dialogue as Macklemore talks to other people about the Black Lives Matter movement, protest chants and comments from those who don’t believe in white privilege. The track itself is impressive as the rapper admits how he’s unfairly benefited from his race, considering that Macklemore’s audience is primarily white. In fact, Macklemore balances his verses with comments from Black Lives Matter Movement activists, an intentional move to not make himself the only voice on the track. Jamila Woods, an activist herself, closes the song by singing, “your silence is not a luxury.” It’s a call-out to end the dismissal of the modern-day civil rights movement and to confront the ways in which white people benefit from a system based on racism and discrimination. The song, in itself, is commendable. It leaves me hoping that Macklemore will use his influence to get his pre-

dominantly white fan-base memorizing the lyrics to this politically aware song, and that maybe it will inspire many fans to have difficult but necessary conversations about current events pertaining to police brutality and racial inequality. However — Macklemore has a history of stopping short of his full capacity. He is very aware of the influence he carries as a world-renowned artist, as well as his unique situation of being a white rapper. When he received the 2014 Grammy for “Best Rap Album of the Year,” despite widespread arguments that Kendrick Lamar’s “Good Kid: M.A.A.D City” was more deserving, he texted Kendrick Lamar a private apology. However, he kept the award, and benefited from it nonetheless. Forbes explains that Grammy winners experience a “‘Grammy Bounce’ of at least 55 percent in concert ticket sales and producer fees during the year following a Grammy win.” Macklemore also released

“Same Love” to discuss samesex marriage in America, knowing he may lose fans because of it. He did the same with “White Privilege II.” However, we can’t ignore the fact that Macklemore is making an insane profit off of these songs. “Same Love” was a chart-topper and single-handedly earned him hundreds of thousands of dollars, just like “White Privilege II” probably will. But neither tracks are saying anything new. Queer and Black Lives Matter activists have been saying what Macklemore is for years. He’s just the one with the popularity to be heard and the position to profit off of it. In light of “White Privilege II”, Macklemore seemingly has not donated to any Black Lives Matter movements. He will continue to earn revenue from streaming services, concerts and album sales. Plus, he’s an independent artist, so he doesn’t have a label taking a majority of his profits. The track itself was a step in the right direction — but

o Y o r ! o F G o

is the

t S, R y O V A a L F W 21 TOPPINGS, + 0 5

it falls short of what he could be doing with his platform. He can promote activism and action in his music all he wants, but it’s an empty gesture when he’s still profiting off the music, leaving actual activists and organizations exactly where they have been financially. In “White Privilege II,” Macklemore speaks to himself about his involvement in hip-hop as a white artist, saying, “It’s all stolen, anyway, can’t you see that now?/There’s no way for you to even that out.” He claims to be aware of the fact that his success in the hip-hop industry has to do with his race — all the while accepting the paychecks he receives because of it. My point is that Macklemore’s career is based around good intentions. We can hope to see more political commitment from the rapper in the future, and I hope that he genuinely encourages discussion among his fans about difficult topics like samesex marriage and racial discrimination. But as long as he keeps the profits off of these songs, I will continue to be leery.

Sexual assault prevention programs on rise New inventions available to help prevent date rape

VICTOR HAMILTON GENERAL REPORTER vahamilton@bsu.edu

In recent years, sexual assault prevention has become one of the fastest-growing industries in the market. From date rape-detecting nail polishes to apps that will record whether or not someone gave consent, the number of products to decrease the amount of sexual assaults has expanded from the niche market it once was. In March 2013, President Barack Obama signed the Campus SaVE Act, an amendment to the Jeanne Clery Act. This meant that secondary schools receiving financial aid must offer both staff and students sexual assault preventative programs. Ball State met this requirement by implementing the

Think About It program in August 2014. However, a 2014 study found that brief, one-session educational interventions did not have any lasting impact on behavior. In-person, longer programs that have one to three sessions might work, the study said. Think About It falls somewhere in between those two categories. But for the program to be effective, students have to complete the online course. In the 2014-15 school year, when the program was first implemented, 86.7 percent of incoming freshman completed it. This year, only 57 percent did. Think About It and other similar programs have been picked up by universities around the nation. More than 650 institutions across the country have turned to Haven, a program very similar to Think About It. While the price of Haven varies by size of the institution, it usu-

ally costs between $10,000 to $20,000 per year. Ball State also offers four similar programs to Think About It and 11 outreach programs free of charge for faulty and students. One of these programs is Peer Health Educators, a student-taught program whose mission is to promote healthy lifestyles with outreach programs and role models. “We try to make the programs interactive by playing games, asking questions and giving away free prizes,” said Grace Holihen, vice president of Peer Health Educators. “Typical audiences include residence halls, classrooms and student organizations.” Aside from programs, other inventions have been developed as well, such as Undercover Colors, founded by four students at North Carolina State University. They developed a nail polish that changes color when it comes in contact with common date rape drugs.

However, detecting drugs in a drink does not prevent sexual assault. It only warns the person who has the nail polish, not ensuring that whoever put the drugs in the drink won’t drug another person who isn’t wearing the nail polish. Chadwick Menning, a sociology professor, said the responsibility needs to be shifted away from the victim and on to the perpetrator. “It’s important that we pursue the kind of cultural efforts that we see with bystander intervention — absolutely that’s where the focus needs to be,” Menning said. “Culture change happens very slowly, and you can work on that changing over time.” Along with products like the nail polish, mobile apps are also making headlines for advances in safety. In July 2011, Vice President Joe Biden launched the Apps Against Abuse challenge. This was a nationwide competition to

see who could create the best app that would combat dating violence and sexual assault. The winners of the competition were Circle of 6 and OnWatchOnCampus. Both apps are free and focus on being able to contact reliable people in times of need. Other apps, such as We-Consent, focus more on the consent side than the safety side. In the app, users are asked to say the name of the person with whom they would like to have sexual relations. Then they put the intended person on camera as the app asks them the question and records them either answering yes or no. If the intended person does not give a definitive ‘yes,’ the previous videos are then destroyed and the app ask the users to try again. However, if consent is granted, the videos are saved and the app tells them to “have fun.” The app doesn’t account for if the user were

to change their mind after originally giving consent. But this app has received some backlash. In an interview with NPR in August, Michael Lissack, the developer of the app, said Apple called it “icky” and refused to put it in its App Store. In general, students are divided on businesses profiting off of sexual assault prevention. “I think that it should all be not-for-profit,” said junior Beth Muller. “I just think that’s such an important thing that overall it should just be something that everyone focuses on, not just for profit.” However, first year graduate student Hannah Garner said she has doubts about whether or not the companies are just in it for the money. “I don’t really mind if they profit from it,” Garner said. “I think that what they’re doing is for a good cause. I realize they’re probably not in it just for the money.”

ing on establishing a master’s program, and moving to the new college will encourage them to push harder for the program. “We work interdisciplinary, but it’s a little bit more challenging when we’re spread across campus as opposed to being located in a central hub with other individuals,” Moore said. “I think it’ll be beneficial when we are together, but I think we’re so used to being in separate spaces in separate locations that we’re able to work through location as a barrier and still form partnerships and work collaboratively when those opportunities arise.” Shelby Zann, a sophomore speech pathology major, is excited for the expansion and said she thinks the move will be beneficial to anyone in a health-science career. “Expansion is a great thing, especially with the job outlooks increasing so much,” Zann said. “This expansion could help students and faculty gain the tools to further education and experience within the department.” When freshman dietetics major Shannon Cook heard the College

of Health was forming, she thought it would be a nice improvement because she feels that dietetics belongs in that group of programs anyway, and not in the family and consumer sciences department. “I think we’re in a college

where it’s more about the internal results of how dietetics affects a person’s health. … It’s not an activity; it’s something that people should take seriously,” Cook said. “It’s about your health. I think it definitely needs to be in the health college.”

COLLEGE OF HEALTH SCHEDULED TO OPEN FALL 2016 Integration creates new opportunities for health students

MICHELLE KAUFMAN COMMUNITY/BUSINESS REPORTER mekaufman@bsu.edu

Logistics for the new College of Health have been released. The college, set to open in Fall 2016, will house seven majors and is estimated to have more than 3,000 undergraduate and graduate students enrolled. Programs from the College of Applied Sciences and Technology, College of Sciences and Humanities and the Teachers College will become part of the new college. Mitch Whaley, dean of the College of Applied Sciences and Technology, is part of the faculty that created the interest to form the new college. He said Ball State is currently designing a new building for the college that will be a “focal point,” but not all departments and schools in the College of Health will move there due to space. There will also be new or updated facilities for some programs. Part of the plan for the college was to look at new programs to add to Ball State that could find a home in the College of Health in the future. “I think the big impact is going to be that allied health students that are here getting their education and

training will be commingling with students that are in other health professions, and that’s a real big thing within the marketplace,” Whaley said. “Our faculty will be in practice, and our students will be in the educational environment so that nurses are working alongside social workers and dietitians and exercise physiologists, so that’s the environment for the future.” Whaley said an interprofessional education environment is currently in the process of being created, and it will take a few years to implement that curriculum into the programs. The majority of the departments and schools have graduate programs, so students will be part of the “new academic enterprise” in the coming years. “The faculty will be working to try and build the cul-

ture of the new college and the graduate students will be a big part of that,” Whaley said. “Faculty will be intermingling with each other in a way that they might not have been in the past, and so we’ll have research opportunities that will come out of that.” Social work professor Matt Moore said his program should benefit from having other individuals involved who practice a multidisciplinary approach to helping students. With the college, he said his students will now be integrated with other helping professions. He also said that the social work program is work-

Two members of the Ball State Board of Trustees, Frank Hancock and Marianne Glick, are planning to resign from the board. Both members submitted their resignation letters on Dec. 17 to Governor Mike Pence.

Glick’s letter, on the other hand, was an appeal to Pence to be placed on the Ivy Tech Community College Board, where she feels that she is called to serve. “I don’t know if there is an opportunity to serve [Ivy Tech] rather than Ball State, ... but it is where my heart is leading me,” she wrote. However, Glick told the Daily News she was resigning to dedicate time to other things, like her family’s foundation or other philanthropic efforts. Assistant secretary Glick joined the board in 2006. She serves on the board of directors for the Eugene & Marilyn Glick Family Foundation, the Gene B. Glick Company, the Central Indiana Community Foundation, United Way of Central Indiana and the Women’s Fund of Central Indiana. The governor has not yet

appointed new trustees to replace Hancock and Glick, so they are still on the board, university spokeswoman Joan Todd said. Meeks said he doesn’t think the resignations will hinder the hiring process for a new president. The new members will be acclimated quickly and the board will stay on track. “I have a very strong conviction that the board is led by incredible leadership, that whoever Gov. Pence picks to replace [Glick] and [Hancock] will be the best possible options for the board,” Meeks said. “And I think as a whole the university is looking at a very bright future.” The board will meet today in executive session, which is not open to the public. The announcement for the session said the board will meet to discuss initiation of litigation, employee status, purchase of real property and labor negotiations.

Sophomore helps contributes to win coming off bench

FACE OFF AGAINST HOMETOWN FRIEND

CHASE AKINS GENERAL REPORTER @akins27_akins

Sophomore guard Frannie Frazier has not started in a women’s basketball game this season, but head coach Brady Sallee doesn’t see her as a bench player. “Really, we have six starters on offense,” Sallee said. Frazier was one of five Cardinals who scored in double digits during Ball State’s 78-71 victory over Akron on Wednesday. She also finished playing 20 minutes, the same as junior center and starter Renee Bennett. The Cardinals were able to escape with a 78-71 win over the Zips, and Sallee was convinced Frazier made the difference. “I thought probably, honestly, the difference in the game was [Frazier],” Sallee said.

WALTON:

Sticking to the Sport

If Walton wanted to play volleyball growing up, his only choice was to practice with the girls’ team. His father owned the Lincoln Volleyball Club, which had both men’s and women’s adult teams, but only one junior team for girls. Volleyball was rare for a boy to play during the time Walton grew up, so playing made him stand out more than he would have hoped. “I was very often accused of being gay because people didn’t know how to understand this boy who was playing a girl’s sport,” Walton said. “In middle school, the kids were ruthless. It just made me a little bit different that I was doing something that people didn’t understand as much.” Walton practiced and played with the girls until he was old enough to play with the men’s team. Prior to Walton’s senior year of high school, his father had the opportunity to work in Indianapolis. Their home was just 45 minutes away from one of the top men’s volleyball programs in the country — Ball State University. Knowing his son planned to continue volleyball at the collegiate level, the family made the move. During his career, Walton racked up a number of honors in a Cardinal uniform. He ranked third in digs-per-game average (2.20) and eighth in career digs (710). He also

Ball State swept NJIT in 3 sets in match Friday DN PHOTO BREANNA DAUGHTERY

Sophomore guard Frannie Frazier was one of five Cardinals who scored double digits during the game Wednesday against Akron. Frazier’s double digits aided the team in its 78-71 victory.

Senior guard Nathalie Fontaine is averaging 21 points per game, and junior guard Jill Morrison is a constant threat from the outside — hitting 59 3-pointers this season. Even with their combined 33-points against Akron, Sallee credited Frazier’s 5-9 performance, 10 points, six rebounds and steal to the team’s victory. Frazier was not the only bench performer who took Sallee’s notice, sophomore

guard Brionna Simond was able to make an impact in her nine minutes of work. “I thought Simond played great minutes,” Sallee said.”She took a charge and took it to the rim one time and layed it up and that was just what we needed at that moment.” Bench players can serve different roles for different coaches. For some coaches, bench players give the starters a rest, while others only ever play them when the

game is already secured. Sallee uses a different approach. He situationally uses his players to bring back the spark needed to get his team back in the game. “Even more important than putting up points... is just the energy,” Sallee said. Despite not starting a single game all year, Frazier has come off the bench and averaged 13.2 minutes per game and will continue to act as a spark-plug for the Cardinals.

helped lead Ball State to two league and two NCAA tournament appearances. Walton didn’t have much free time in college, but he was doing something he enjoyed. “I didn’t have time to be a part of a fraternity, but, essentially, I was — [it was] called the Ball State men’s volleyball program,” Walton said. With the little free time he did have, Walton met his future wife, Jennifer, on campus. Following graduation, he vowed to take a year away from volleyball to focus on his marriage. Walton moved back to Indianapolis, struggling to keep the sport out of his life. After brief stints bagging groceries and selling men’s apparel, Walton landed a job with Nabisco in sales. That’s when he heard of the job opening at Ball State as assistant men’s volleyball coach. This left him with some decisions to make. His wife wanted him to separate from the game because of the amount of time he spent traveling. There were times in college Jennifer didn’t see Walton for about seven weekends from January to May as he traveled to play. “Jenny is a very intelligent person. She knew through dating me while I played volleyball for a year and a half [in college] what that schedule was like,” Walton said. “So she didn’t immediately say yes [to the job].” After discussions with his wife, they decided he should take the job. “We talked about it, we fought about it, she cried,

I cried,” Walton said. “And finally she said, ‘OK, we’ll try this.’” In the end, they decided to stick with what they love — which carries on to this day. For Walton, it’s volleyball. And for Jennifer, it’s teaching language arts at Selma Middle School in Muncie. “I left a nationally recognized company, but I left a job where I was out on a sales territory, before cell phones, and I was alone most of the day,” Walton said. “I left a job where I wasn’t doing anything with volleyball, and volleyball up until two years prior had been a huge part of my life.”

“At a time where I was as low as I could be, I envisioned this program that I had played in, that I had coached in, going away,” Walton said. “It was just a horrible, horrible time.” That’s when the Muncie community came together to support the program they had become so accustomed to. Since the program’s creation 52 years ago, Ball State has been a front-runner in NCAA men’s volleyball. Coaches, players and alumni alike were not ready to let it go. “That’s this community and what this community means to us,” Walton said, fighting back tears. “And being a part of this community is something that I really cherish.” The Ball State men’s volleyball program has had only two head coaches since the program’s inception. Behind the tightknit nature of the players, coaches and community, Ball State was able to keep the program at the cost of only a few scholarships. “The fact that we’ve had the continuity of success with that few amount of coaches is pretty remarkable,” senior outside attacker Jack Lesure said. “They must be doing something right.” It’s more than just a job for Walton, who sacrificed it all to get back into the sport he loves. Even through the toughest times, he’s helped lead the program into what it is today. “It’s a program that means the world to me,” Walton said.

Coaching Career

Walton began his career as a Ball State coach in 1990. He served under men’s volleyball legend Don Shondell as an assistant for eight years. Following Shondell’s retirement, Walton became head coach in 1998. The program picked up right where it left off, and Ball State continued to move forward. During his first few seasons, Walton won the 2001 Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association Coach of the Year and followed that up with the 2002 MIVA regular season and tournament titles. In 2003, he coached the Cardinals to a No. 6 overall ranking in the USA Today Coaches Poll. Despite the program’s success, the program began to take a turn in 2004-05. Funding was in question, and as he walked down the hallways of his fellow coaches, he was at an alltime low.

More than 700 miles outside of Worthen Arena, sophomore middle attacker Matt Walsh and sophomore outside attacker Mitch Weiler saw a familiar face on the other side of the net. The Ball State men’s volleyball team took on New Jersey Institute of Technology on Friday. Walsh and Weiler took on their old teammate and friend, Kevin Myren of NJIT. Myren, a red-shirt freshman from Oak Lawn, Ill., sat on the opposing side of his old teammates for the first time at the collegiate level. “It was kind of weird playing against him,” Walsh said. “Just seeing [Myren] and watching video of him was just the weirdest thing I ever did, especially when our coach is talking about him and his tendencies — it was just weird.” The three Chicago area natives have been friends since grammar school. Weiler and Myren attended Brother Rice High School, while Walsh attended Mount Carmel just 30 minutes up the road.

| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Although the Cardinals lost proven veterans like Jacob Richard, Jordan Williams and Ben Ingle, the team brought in a wide variety of position players to eventually fill the void. Ball State brought in a variety of players, including five offensive linemen. Twelve of the 22 new recruits are on the offensive side of the ball, including two tight ends, three wide receivers, a running back and a quarterback. One particular area of emphasis was on the defensive line, as seven of the Cardinals’ 10 new defensive players are on the line. Last season, Ball State struggled to generate a pass rush and keep teams from running on them late in games, so the coaching staff worked to fix it by adding some depth on the line. Defensive coordinator Tim Daoust sat down with the coaching staff and decided that defensive line was one of the biggest areas

All three of them also played for the Ultimate Volleyball Club together prior to college. Walsh is no stranger to facing off against someone he’s close to. Last season, he competed against his older brother Bobby Walsh, who plays middle back for Lewis University. “[It was] weirder than playing my brother; I’ve watched my brother play at that level and I was just so used to playing with [Myren],” Walsh said. Walsh, Weiler and Myren were among 19 athletes in the class of 2014 Ultimate Volleyball Club that went on to compete in men’s volleyball at the collegiate level. With that tight-knit connection came cheering from the other side as well, as Myren’s entire family was accustomed to cheering for Walsh and Weiler. “What was really cool was that [Myren’s] whole family was able to fly out to Newark, [N.J.] so we got to see them,” Weiler said. “We heard them cheering for both sides a little bit.” During the match, the Cardinals swept the Highlanders in three straight sets. Weiler had six kills and a block assist, while Walsh added four kills. “We play against a lot of our club players,” Weiler said. “But [Myren] is just a really good friend, so it’s something special.”

of need for the Cardinals. “A lot of the kids were committed and we did our due diligence to evaluate them, ... but as you try to piece together the scholarship balance of offense and defense, that’s where it appeared the need was, on defense,” Daoust said. Neu was hired as Ball State’s coach on Jan. 7. Coming in so late in the process, Neu said he missed out on one of the most important aspects of recruiting — the personal touch.

But in the end, he was happy with the class the Cardinals are getting for the upcoming season. “I’m very excited about the class we were able to put together,” Neu said. “Considering the circumstances with my arrival so late in the recruiting process, I feel the assistant coaches did a tremendous job. It takes some good people to pull this off, and I believe this class is the beginning of something special for us at Ball State.”

Macklemore sheds light on social injustices Grammy-winning duo performs at Emens Auditorium

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis took John R. Emens Auditorium by storm Wednesday evening — with songs ranging from the message of Macklemore’s past to his crazy alter ego “Raven Bowie” — and the audience responded by filling the auditorium with sound of voices singing along and the sight of dancing and hands in the air. Before the Grammy-winning duo took the stage, the rapper Xperience opened the show. Ball State junior Christiana Wilkerson said she came to the concert to see Macklemore perform his song “Same Love” live. “It’s a super powerful song,” Wilkerson said. “Seeing it live is unimaginable.” Macklemore performed his singles “Downtown,” “Thrift Shop” and “Same Love,” along with several other songs. During the show, the rapper said the group had only performed at one other college this tour and challenged the audience to get the most “turnt up.” He later confirmed to the audience that Ball State won. The rapper also talked about his prior drug addiction and how it inhibited his creativity and ability to make music, before performing the duo’s song “Otherside,” which deals with drugs and substance abuse. Before playing the hit song “Can’t Hold Us,” Macklemore teased the audience.

“This is usually the point in the night when we finish; ... I’d be perfectly happy to leave and go relax on the bus. But at Ball State, though?” he said. As the audience erupted in cheers and requests for another song, Josh “Budo” Karp, a Ball State alumnus who works with Macklemore, told the crowd, “Don’t let me down, Ball State.” Kristi Chambers, assistant director of marketing and communications at Emens Auditorium, said the concert was almost sold out. “We hope to have a lot of other student concerts in the future that will bring a variety like we usually do — pop, hip-hop, country,” Chambers said. “We want to appeal to all audiences and really bring these names that the students want to see.” Ball State juniors Abbie Trosper and Karrie Shreve stood outside Emens Auditorium to spark a conversation around the message that Macklemore started in his song “White Privilege II.” They want to inform people who aren’t aware of social injustices. “Macklemore talks about social injustices and how he wants to kind of not eradicate it, but just bring some light to it and bring awareness to it,” said Trosper, a special education and elementary education major. “We’re looking to start an organization to bring awareness to social injustices and privilege.”
