Students concerned about Koch donation Foundation known for funding conservative, libertarian causes ALLIE KIRKMAN MULTICULTURAL REPORTER | aekirkman@bsu.edu

After the university received a $3.25 million grant from alumnus John “Papa John” Schnatter and the Charles Koch Foundation, some questions and concerns have been raised around the university, as well as other universities where the Koch foundation gave money. Billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch have been known for funding conservative and libertarian causes in the past, and some people worry the donation, which will be used to fund the new John H. Schnatter Institute for Entrepreneurship and Free Enterprise, must be coming with strings attached. But Michael Goldsby, the chief entrepreneurship officer and professor of entrepreneurship who will be leading the institute, said that is not the case. “We have autonomy in who we hire and how we run the institute and its programs,” Goldsby said. However, 2015 alumnus Joseph Knoop said the donation, coupled with the recent transparency issues regarding the resignation of former President Paul W. Ferguson, was worrisome. See GRANT, page 4

THE RISE OF

FAKE IDS

Como Negrete, a senior accounting major, holds up a fake ID to a black light on the wall at The Chug in the Village. The Chug kept losing the UV pens, and the UV light on the wall discourages more people from attempting to pass through with a fake ID.

Indiana police issued more citations in 2015 than any other recorded year, and it is on track to issue even more this year KAITLIN LANGE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

n the evening of Ball State’s first tailgate, the CVS on Tillotson Avenue was quiet as Caleb Johnson* walked his half gallon of Svedka vodka to the cash register. He handed his ID to the older woman working. “What’s your address?” she asked after she peered at the card for what seemed like an eternity. He told her. “Your birth date?” Again, an easy question. He had been using fake IDs since Christmas break to purchase alcohol from convenience and grocery stores. “Your issue date?” Who even knows that? He guessed incorrectly and the worker refused to give the ID back to him. He walked back to his friend’s car, empty handed. He never received a citation, but he was out one of the two IDs he had spent $80 total to buy. Indiana State Excise Police, the law enforcement division of the Alcohol and Tobacco Commission, gave out more citations related to fake or misused IDs in Delaware County this past year than INSIDE they have each year since they started using Want to learn their data system in 2007, according to re- how to spot a cords from Indiana Excise Corporal Brandon fake ID? See Thomas. page 4 It isn’t just Delaware County that has experienced this increase. Police issued 1,073 citations in Indiana in 2015, which is double or nearly double the number of incidents every year except 2008. Police are already on track to beat that number for 2016. There were 226 Indiana charges by Feb. 5 of this year, compared with only 57 in the same time period last year. Those numbers don’t even include people like Johnson, who were never given a citation. The jump in the number of citations can, in part, be attributed to an increase in excise resources, Thomas said. The agency has been growing since 2006.

The men’s basketball team accepted a bid to play in its first postseason tournament since 2002. The game is in the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament (CIT) and is against Tennessee State on Tuesday at the Gentry Center in Nashville.

Ball State accepts bid to play in CIT Team will play in postseason for 1st time since 2002 season Ball State accepted a bid to play in the CollegeInsider.com Postseason tournament (CIT) and will play Tennessee State on Tuesday at the Gentry Center in Nashville. It will be the Cardinals’ first postseason tournament since the 2002 season. Both teams have posted massive turnarounds this season. Ball State improved to 19-13 after posting a 7-23 record last season, the fourth-largest turnaround in the NCAA. The Cardinals finished tied for the Mid-American Conference West Division title with Central Michigan at 10-8. Tennessee State, however, had the largest improvement in the country. The Tigers marked a 20-10 season after going 5-26 last year. With the improvement, Tennessee State tied for the second-best record in the Ohio Valley Conference at 11-5. This is the first time in Tennessee State history the program is hosting a postseason game. The matchup between Tennessee State and Ball State will be the third meeting between the two programs. The Tigers beat the Cardinals in the 2005-06 and 2006-07 seasons. Ball State is a young team that starts two sophomores, two juniors and one senior. The Cardinals finished the regular season with three straight losses, but the CIT gives them a chance to cap off a much-improved season with some positive energy for next season.

Members also take lessons at Cornerstone Center for the Arts. Belly dancing has been perceived as being promiscuous, but Aragon said she wasn’t sure if the perception caused a problem with Ball State when the club was founded in 2008. Currently, she said the club rubs off any negativity. “We just have to remember we’re doing a cultural dance,” Aragon said. “We have to remember to be respectful of that culture.” Despite the stereotype, Aragon said it hasn’t been a problem recruiting new members. They know what they’re getting into, she said. “[Most new members] think it’s something different and want to try it,” Aragon said. “Sometimes we

have problems with girls not being comfortable in the costumes, but they just wear a longer shirt and pants.” Costumes are traditional American cabaret style, which is also the style of belly dance the club does. The costumes are brightly colored and have lots of sparkles, Aragon said. The music is often fast-faced. The club has about 1015 members who perform at various events around campus. The club has performed at Latinapalooza, Late Nite and The Amazing Taste. Sometimes the club is invited to the dorms to perform. Williams also said belly dancing has improved her confidence. She was previously known as a quiet and shy person, but has since begun talking to people first, instead of waiting for them to come to her. “I have club to thank for that,” Williams said. “Not

MC LYTE COMES TO PRUIS TONIGHT Campus guest to speak on women’s voice in Hip Hop

MICHELLE KAUFMAN COMMUNITY/BUSINESS REPORTER mekaufman@bsu.edu

Entertainer and artist MC Lyte will speak about “Women in Hip Hop: Female Influence Then and Now” at 7:30 p.m. March 14 in Pruis Hall as part of Women’s History Month. Ro-Anne Royer Engle, director of the Multicultural Center, said they don’t always bring in a speaker for Women’s History Month but wanted MC Lyte to come because she is a legend in the music industry and an entrepreneur. “Her impact and influ-

ence as a pioneer in the male-dominated hip hop industry cannot be understated,” Royer Engle said. MC Lyte was the first female rapper to release a full solo album in 1988, according to Billboard’s website. “She has helped pave the way for current female hip hop artists is interesting and empowering for women. … Most importantly, she has used her influence to advance social causes ... and gives back to her community,” she said. Royer Engle said MC Lyte has been introduced to college students both through reinventing herself through music and from doing voiceovers for companies such as Nike and Coca-Cola. Attendees can expect MC Lyte to speak about both her personal experience in

the hip hop industry and the role of women in that industry today. “There are numerous students who want to be entrepreneurs and use their passion to sustain success like she has done,” Royer Engle said. “I think she can provide students with some insight into what it takes to be successful. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions, so we hope they will ask about things she may not have addressed but are interested in hearing about.” Taylorann Smith, a sophomore aquatics biology major, hopes to attend the event. She has been listening to MC Lyte’s music for years. “I heard about MC Lyte as a child, probably from my older sister playing her music around the house. Hearing her songs just brings me

FAKE ID CITATIONS BY YEAR, 2007-2015

GRANT:

| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “When one of the world’s wealthiest families and business networks invests more money than you or I may ever see in our entire lives to public colleges, that should give us pause for thought,” Knoop said. He said he doesn’t doubt wealthy people can be philanthropic, but when their intention is to reshape the minds of students and those who lead them, it becomes a problem. “A truly virtuous donation would include stipulations that no political influence can be gained as a result, but we all know that’s laughable,” he said. “A university with a recently ousted president, for reasons still unknown? And a multi-million dollar investment from the poster boys for political corruption? Draw your own conclusions, but not your own facts.” However, Goldsby said one of the key principles of the new institute will be free speech, and the grant and

institute will be focused on a values-based form of entrepreneurship. “I see a university as a free market of ideas, and students should have exposure to a broad range of concepts,” Goldsby said. “Additionally, they should also be free to express their opinions. My door is open to anyone who wants to support education and help advance our students, especially as a public university.” The grant will support campus-wide entrepreneurial learning and thinking, he said. It will allow the university to train faculty from colleges across campus to add entrepreneurial learning into their courses, give training in Indiana communities and train campus leaders to creatively solve problems with how they run the university. “It helps us do a lot more of what we’re already good at at Ball State,” Goldsby said. Sami Soutar, a sophomore entrepreneurial management major, said she thinks the grant will be beneficial to expand the university’s col-

lege of business. As a student in the Miller Business Honors program and a Miller Scholar, she said she’s seen and benefited from the good that has come from programs, classes and scholarships the university wouldn’t be able to offer without outside donations. “I am just supportive of the Miller College of Business and trust the choices of their faculty since I have worked closely and been helped personally by many of them,” Soutar said. Because the university just received the grant, administration will take the spring to determine plans and an opening date. Although the grant is recent, Joan Todd, university spokesperson, said the thinking behind advancing entrepreneurship within the university has been ongoing. “The institute, the Miller College of Business and the university have been developing our entrepreneurial programs as part of our ongoing strategic initiatives,” Todd said. “The generous grants from John Schnatter

and The Charles Koch Foundation will allow us to more quickly implement our plans. In fact, it was our strategic priorities that impressed Mr. Schnatter when he visited Ball State last year to present the commencement address.” Todd said the university is fortunate to have the support of donors like Schnatter and The Charles Koch Foundation. She said one significant benefit to all students is money from donors helps keep tuition down. Ultimately, Goldsby said the grant is a positive thing for the university. “[The grant] helps Ball State do campus-wide activities in a way that other universities don’t,” Goldsby said. “We have a unique opportunity to exemplify this entrepreneurial approach, and we’re getting external support because the world needs problem solvers.” In 2007, a million-dollar offer to Florida State University’s economics department did come with strings attached, according to publicintegrity.org.

• Indiana University • Florida State University • The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. • Creighton University in Nebraska • Troy University in Alabama Koch Foundation wanted the curriculum to align with the libertarian philosophy of Charles Koch, and the foundation would be able to partially control which faculty members were hired. However, this was discovered seven years after the offer, and the current deal with Florida State does not include this criteria. A $210,000 grant given to Indiana University in late January also led to concern at the university, according to an Indianapolis Star story. Students and faculty there were also skeptical, thinking the money could come with strings attached and the foundation could influence how the money was used.

TRUSTEES TO DISCUSS PLANS FOR SEARCH FOR NEW PRESIDENT The Board of Trustees will be meeting today to talk in part about the search for a new president. The regular meeting — which begins at 1:30 p.m. in the L.A. Pittenger Student Center Forum Room — is open to the public, and all students, faculty and community members are welcome to attend. At the meeting, the board will be discussing the new search for a president, updates on the University Senate, participation in the Spectrum Federal Communications Commission and the schedule for individual college presentations to the board. There will also be an executive session before it meets publicly. The public is not allowed in executive sessions. – STAFF REPORTS

Tough portion of schedule awaits Ball State Cardinals to play 5 road matches against MIVA foes

JAKE FOX MANAGING EDITOR managingeditor@bsudailynews.com

In order to gain its No. 10 national ranking, the Ball State men’s volleyball team swept the first round of conference matches in the tough Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association. To keep that ranking, it’ll have to do it again. Ball State (15-5, 8-1 MIVA) trail Ohio State by half a game for first place in the MIVA standings. The Cardinals have eight matches remaining — seven in the conference — that will ultimately decide its seeding for the postseason MIVA Tournament. “Our guys did a pretty good job at the beginning of the year handling a big road stretch,” head coach Joel Walton said. “And we’re going to finish with our last

IPFW (7-12, 0-7) four matches on the road. Our guys need to be prepared for that.” Ball State struggled a bit out of the gate, starting 3-3 with losses to nationally-ranked Stanford and Penn State. Once conference play started, the Cardinals got hot and never looked back. They won 11 straight matches and got off to an 8-0 start in MIVA play before a five-set loss to Grand Canyon on March 5. During the winning streak, Ball State picked up a victory over Ohio State on the road, and against defending national champion Loyola (Illinois) and runner-up Lewis. “We know we’re capable

of beating any team in the nation,” senior setter Hiago Garchet said. “We’ve beaten big teams, and we still have the same emotional aspect to the game and the same willingness to win a national championship this year.” To win a national title, Ball State would have to compete with teams like Stanford, Penn State and No. 4 UCLA, which beat Ball State 3-0 on March 7. Ball State begins its last portion of the schedule by visiting IPFW before a threematch home stand, which includes matchups with No. 5 Ohio State and No. 14 University of California, Irvine. The regular season concludes with four straight road matches, the last two against Lewis and Loyola. “Every single one of those matches is going to matter,” Walton said. “We’ve seen each team in our conference this year compete at a high level, so you can’t take anyone for granted.” In the MIVA Tournament,

The Ball State men’s volleyball team will have to sweep the first round of Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association conference matches to gain the No. 10 national ranking. To win the national title, Ball State would compete against Stanford, Penn State and No. 4 UCLA, which they lost to 3-0 on March 7.

the higher seed hosts the match in every round. Walton said it’s important to stay in the top three seeds for home-court advantage, as the Cardinals have only lost one match at Worthen

Arena this season. He keyed on the team’s offense and serving for the last part of the regular season, which will likely be a big factor in the team’s overall success this year.

“Hard. It’s going to be very hard,” senior setter Hiago Garchet said. “And I’m going to do my best to make it happen. We’ve won many, but there’s still a long war there.”

That’s what I hate.” The Cardinals own the top shooting percentage in the MAC, hitting 42.7 percent of their shots. They also lead the conference with 15.9 assists per game and a 74.2 percent free-throw shooting percentage. Ball State out-rebounded its opponents by an average margin of 6.3 rebounds per game. In the tournament loss to Eastern Michigan, however, it lost the rebounding battle 48-43. Sallee said the Cardinals just had a bad game at the wrong time. “It’s not like all of the sudden we’re broken,” he said. “We just stunk.” He also said he expects that to change if Ball State

gets a tournament bid. “We know who we are,” he said. “When we win the rebound battle, when we win the free-throw battle, when we win points in the paint, we win.” When asked about having a “fairly good” 21-win season, Sallee said he took the question as a compliment. “I feel like I’m doing a pretty good job with this program because five years ago, Ball State wasn’t here,” he said. “And so that’s how far this program has come when you call 21 wins a ‘fairly good’ season.” The Cardinals will find out if their season will continue today when the WNIT field is officially announced.

TEAM HOPES FOR 4TH CONSECUTIVE BID TO WNIT Team ‘stunk’ in Eastern Michigan loss, coach says

COLIN GRYLLS ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR sports@bsudailynews.com

Ball State (21-9, 13-5 Mid-American Conference) finished the regular season with its first 20-win season since 2008-09. Senior guard Nathalie Fontaine was named MAC Player of the Year and broke the Cardinals’ all-time scoring record. But when Ball State was knocked out of the MAC Tournament quarterfinals Wednesday, Fontaine said she would have traded all of

the individual accolades for a MAC championship. “This was what I wanted above all of those other things,” she said. “But we’ll keep working.” The season, however, may not be over yet — a potential Women’s National Invitation Tournament bid could be in the works. Unlike the men’s NIT, which is owned by the NCAA and only invites 32 teams, the WNIT invites 64 schools and is independently owned. If selected, it would be the Cardinals’ fourth consecutive WNIT bid. Head coach Brady Sallee said a postseason bid is probable, but the team’s goal was to make the NCAA Tournament.

The Ball State women’s basketball team was knocked out in the Mid-American Conference quarterfinals over break to Eastern Michigan 67-53. The team could receive a bid for the Women’s National Invitation Tournament, which would be the fourth consecutive bid for Ball State.

“I’m lucky I get to keep coaching them,” he said. “Unfortunately, it’s in a tournament we’re excited to be in, but we feel like we’re good

enough to be in the other one too. And I know that’s what [Fontaine] deserves, and the country deserves to see her on that stage, too.

Craves Delivery comes to Muncie New service offers to bring Starbucks, snacks to students

VICTOR HAMILTON GENERAL REPORTER vahamilton@bsu.edu

Ball State students will soon be able to buy drinks, snacks and chocolates without ever having to leave their home. Craves Delivery, a snack delivery service started by Ball State sophomore Zachary Cable and Indiana University alumnus Drew Crowe, opened in Muncie today. The business operates from 9 a.m. to 4 a.m. and offers more than 40 drink and snack options for delivery. You can also order a custom Starbucks drink, and they will pick it up and deliver it.

They got the idea one night when they were up late and craving candy bars. Unfortunately, it was late, the dining halls were closed and the only way to get a candy bar was to walk all the way to the nearest gas station. That’s when they got the idea that would soon evolve into Craves Delivery. Craves buys snacks and drinks in bulk, which allows them to save money. The savings are then passed on to the customer, resulting in lower and similar prices to the dining halls. Customers looking for a latenight Monster energy drink can save 50 cents when ordering with Craves. However, for sweets like Skittles and Starbursts, students would have to pay an additional $1 more than if they had bought it from Woodworth Dining Hall.

PRICES • Arnold Palmer: $1.50 • Reese’s Peanut Butter cups: $2 • Monster Energy Drink: $2.50 • Flamin’ Hot Cheetos $1 Every delivery will have a $1 shipping and handling fee, regardless of how many items are purchased. Similar to other companies that deliver food, tips are not mandatory, but are accepted. Craves is not the first food delivery service around campus, but Cable said he believes it will stand out among the competition. “We are a lot different than other services,” he said. “There isn’t a delivery service out there that delivers snacks exclusively. I feel like this is something a lot of people

NEELY AVENUE ROADWORK SET TO START LATE SPRING Renovations will result in new look, no street parking

MICHELLE KAUFMAN COMMUNITY/BUSINESS REPORTER mekaufman@bsu.edu

The section of Neely Avenue from Ball State’s campus to Minnetrista will soon have a new look. New medians, greenery and streetlights will be installed as part of the partnership between INDOT and the city of Muncie. Arron Kidder, consultant for the City of Muncie, said the bid for the project was awarded last month. The project was supposed to start last year, but Kidder said delays in preliminary engineering and getting right-of-way acquisition

took longer than expected. After the project is completed, street parking will no longer be allowed. “Whenever you do any sort of capital improvement or construction or road project, it’s always tough on those who have to commute and those that live in the immediate vicinity,” Kidder said. “But we’re hoping that the landlords and the property owners there will be able to work around that with the alleys and driveways that are there. It’ll be a good project overall once it is all done.” Tom Schamp does community outreach for Riverside United Methodist Church, which is located on Neely. He said he has concerns about where people who live on Neely will park, as well as how members of his church will access hand-

icapped parking. “There must be a reason why they park on the street, even though the landlords are supposed to provide adequate parking,” Schamp said. “We just have an interest in what’s going to happen, what problems are going to arise.” Schamp said the church doesn’t anticipate any issues with his church’s entrance and exit and hopes the project has a positive impact on the city and allows for a better partnership between Ball State and the church. Kidder said a final construction schedule will not be available until after a pre-construction meeting March 18, but construction will start mid-spring or early summer and is expected to be completed by the start of the 2016 Fall Semester.

ALUMNUS SENTENCED TO 40 YEARS IN PRISON AFTER RAPING STUDENT

could take advantage of. Also, we are the first company in Muncie to offer Starbucks delivery, which we believe will really set us apart.” To accommodate for the expected busyness of the company, Cable said the company will employ 10 to 15 delivery drivers who will take different shifts throughout the night. Craves Delivery is the newest food delivery service founded by Ball State students. However, sophomore Alex Crunk questioned the usefulness of the services. “Hon estly, I don’t think I would ever use it because it’s just little things, and I usually get extra little things with my swipe and already have them in my room,” Crunk said. “But I do think the drinks will be a big seller.”

A Carmel man convicted in the April 2013 rape of a Ball State student was sentenced to 40 years in prison on March 8. Aaron Jeffrey King, 26, was found guilty last November of rape, criminal deviate conduct, criminal confinement and strangulation. King — a former Ball State student and former running back for the football team — was accused of assaulting the woman in her Northwest-side apartment. The victim — who had been King’s girlfriend during their high school years — told police King had forced her to engage Aaron King in various sex acts, bound her wrists with duct tape and choked her. Judge John Feick, who ruled on the 40-year sentence, said King would be classified as a sexually violent predator and would remain on probation for the rest of his life upon his release from prison. At sentencing, King expressed remorse for his actions, although his public defenders indicated he intended to appeal his convictions. King was convicted of resisting law enforcement in Hamilton County in 2013 and has appeared in court for numerous other misdemeanors and citations since 2010. – CASEY SMITH
