Cost to replace student IDs increases New Cardinal Cards will jump to $25 starting Aug. 15
|
MICHELLE KAUFMAN COMMUNITY/BUSINESS REPORTER mekaufman@bsu.edu
The cost to replace student ID cards will increase from $10 to $25 on Aug. 15. Although the jump may seem high, Registrar Nancy Cronk said the current $10 fee is not a lot compared
to other institutions. Both Indiana University and Purdue University currently have a $25 replacement fee on ID cards. “We have a very healthy price increase coming up from $10 to $25,” Cronk said. “We want to be sensitive to the fact that this is a huge fee increase for students, but we also want to be sensitive to the fact that we’ve got to maintain the standard of the card and realize that it’s not just
« We have a very
healthy price increase coming up from $10 to $25. » NANCY CRONK, registrar employee a plastic card, it’s got some technology built in it and some security built into it.” Each blank, chip-enabled card costs the university $5, but that does not include the print ribbon and mainte-
nance for the ID card printer. The new fee will give the university a chance to see if it can expand the features of Ball State’s current ID cards. One possible expansion would be using the card at merchants off campus. However, Cronk said there is no current discussion about doing that. The new Cardinal Cards, which started being issued in April 2014 and have a proximity chip in them, are more expensive than the
plain white cards previously issued. The white cards had no technology or chip in them and were pennies for the university to purchase, Cronk said. Money from the replacement fee for the cards goes to the Ball State general fund. “Because of that additional technology, there needs to be an increased awareness of the card capability and also the card value,” Cronk said. The Board of Trustees ap-
proved the increase in June 2015, and it was written into the 2015 board approval of additional fees to be implemented in Fall 2016. Although students may find their old ID after a new one is printed, the old card can’t be reactivated. “Every time we print a new card, that security changes, ... and you get brand new security attached to that new card,” Cronk said. “It literally invalidates the old card.”

The No. 11 Ball State men’s volleyball team left an opening — and McKendree took advantage of it. The Cardinals (20-9, 12-4 MIVA), who finished the regular season with a 20-8 record, were at the top of the Midwestern Intercollegiate Vol-
leyball Association standings for the majority of the season. They fell to the No. 3 seed in the tournament, and suffered an upset loss to the No. 6 seed McKendree Bearcats in the quarterfinals. Ball State was missing two key players to injury. Head coach Joel Walton said the first-round loss was “a bitter pill.” “We didn’t fight, we didn’t dig down and find some way to get things done,” he said. “So we opened up a door and they were good enough tonight to walk through that.”

JIM DAVIS, CREATOR OF GARFIELD, TO TEACH ART CLASSES NEXT YEAR Jim Davis will be coming to teach at Ball State starting the Fall 2016 semester. The cartoonist of the popular comic strip “Garfield” will be an adjunct professor in the art department, said Arne Flaten, director of the School of Art. Davis is a 1967 alumnus of Ball State and is from Marion, Ind. In February, Davis came to campus to talk to a design class about the “Garfield” comic strip. The students were making computerized versions of Garfield as a project, and Davis wanted to make them familiar with the comic strip. Davis got started with drawing because he had asthma as a child and was often bedridden, according to garfield.com. He used that time to draw pictures. He studied art and business during his time at Ball State. He also started a philanthropy with Ball State, The Professor Garfield Foundation, which supports children’s literacy.

“Cat Scratch Fever, because like Ted Nugent, Hampton can have some attitude and he definitely can scratch up a little bit of fever on somebody.”

WIPB auction outcomes, effects still uncertain |
REBECCA KIZER ADMINISTRATION REPORTER rjkizer@bsu.edu
The university’s auction of its WIPB station and the 600 MHz of spectrum — wireless signals — that go with it is still underway and could generate as much as $277 million for Ball State. This auction is called the Federal Communications Commission Broadcast Incentive Auction. Companies like Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and others could take part in the auction and bid for different amounts of the spectrum. These wireless signals enable mobile phones to function. Ball State’s Board of Trustees, which approved the auction in March, will work with the FCC over time to decide either on a selling price for its spectrum or to leave the auction without selling. While this auction could create funds for the university, if the rights to the broadcasting
station are sold, it may affect programs, students and faculty at Ball State. Dom Caristi, a telecommunications professor, compared the possibility of selling the university’s spectrum to selling the paintings that reside in the David Owsley Museum of Art. “We have millions of dollars in paintings over at the museum. We could sell off all the assets from the museum, … but we’re not doing that because we recognize the value of having those. It would be a loss of assets you will never be able to replace,” Caristi said. “We could make millions. The same is true with the broadcast frequency, … but once you get out of the broadcasting business, you will never be able to get back in.” Caristi said he doesn’t think people realize that without Ball State’s broadcasting station, free, public television stations will no longer be available in and
around Muncie. “It affects the nine-county region that WIPB signal covers,” he said. “Those 20 percent of people who don’t pay for cable anymore, … they will cease to get a signal.” There is still speculation about every effect selling the WIPB could have because of the nature of the auction. Phil Repp, Ball State’s vice president of information technology, said in an email the FCC has an anti-collusion rule, meaning those involved cannot speak of possible outcomes. Along with possible outcomes, the discussion of what the money will be used for if the spectrum is sold is not being discussed. “That’s a legitimate question. What will the university use the money for? We’re trying to establish a new college. … An athletic facility? Dorms? Build new educational facility? Nobody knows,” Caristi said. “But the issue with the
one-time infusion of cash is once you spend it, it’s gone.” Michael Harris, a senior telecommunications major and executive producer for Connections Live, a Ball State television program, said he’d like to know what the money would be used for before he can support the auction. “I think that what I would be interested in goes back to Ball State’s transparency,” Harris said. “I would just like to see a detailed breakdown of what they plan to do … if they’ve made the decision to sell it. Why? And what’s it going to benefit?” As a student who works with WIPB, Harris said he thinks his show could continue to thrive even without the broadcasting station. He said their online medium could be all they need. “We can’t track the metrics of who watches the TV show, but we’re almost positive we’re getting more views online. … And I mean, Buzzfeed
doesn’t have a television station,” he said. “In this millennial age, most people might think we don’t need a station.” J Chapman, the president of Woof Boom Radio, a radio company that serves all of East Central Indiana, said he believes there won’t be a downside to selling the spectrum. “When people are going into a process and they can’t predict the possible outcome, they might think the worst,” Chapman said. “But we should trust that the trustees have the best interest of Ball State. It’s their job to make sure that they look into everything.” As someone in broadcasting with close ties to the Muncie community, Chapman said he thinks the university’s commitment to its telecommunications program would prevent Ball State from doing anything that could possibly damage it. He said people should let the trustees do
their jobs. “It’s just premature for people to jump to conclusions,” he said. “Yes, they’re in a quiet period, and people want information. Everybody wants to understand why things are taking place, but it’s complex. When people say they don’t know, they really don’t know. The FCC has never done something like this before.” When Caristi was a professor at Iowa State University, he said he went through a similar situation when they chose to sell their television station. “It was ... way back in the early ‘90s. I think it really damaged one of their academic programs,” Caristi said. “And I think it’s less successful today because the television station is no longer there.” Caristi said he fears the telecommunications program could suffer due to this auction, but also said right now, no one knows what will happen.

EAST QUAD While academic buildings currently run north, south and west, the Campus Master Plan has ideas to further develop and expand on the campus’ east side. This would include connecting to the new East Mall architecture students designed.
EAST MALL
Bike and pedestrian paths will be established, connecting all parts of campus — from the Village to the Jo Ann Gora Student Recreation and Wellness Center. Hannon said it will be “a beautiful greenway, an opportunity for students to gather, meet, have lunch, enjoy themselves outdoors but also get the people and bicycles off of McKinley Avenue.” With Muncie Mayor Dennis Tyler working on his riverfront development project, this East Mall should complement and work with the project by connecting the new pedestrian walkway down to White River. “The East Mall is one of the best ideas, I think, that comes out of this plan,” Hannon said. “It will create new mobility through and to campus.”
IDs:
| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Olivia Boles, a sophomore social work major, has lost her ID multiple times due to having a hectic life and a disabled toddler. She said
The University Green area, including Shafer Tower, Bracken Library, the College of Architecture and Planning and the Whitinger Business Building, is a great location for campus activities, Hannon said. “It already exists, we don’t have to create it. We just have to energize it,” he said. Development in this area may include an outdoor stage or a new dining hall. Hannon said it could be an area for students to meet with each other, talk and share ideas. This will also include renovations to the CAP building and the library.
PRESERVE AND ENHANCE THE OLD QUAD
This will include landscape preservation and enhancements, with a goal of making this area more friendly to campus visitors. Hannon said there are plans to either repurpose or replace Cooper Science Complex in order to further open up the quad area. With the Beneficence Statue “on an island, by herself,” Hannon said he would like to remove the landscaping behind it so the university can be seen more easily. Hannon also said this area could even potentially be available space for another university college.
between going to school, working and taking care of her child, her ID is the last thing she thinks about. “I live off campus, so it’s much easier to not have it on me every day and not use every day and then misplace it,” Boles said. “I don’t eat here or have a meal plan, but I use it quite often, so it’s important.” Without her ID, Boles said she loses access to the Jo Ann Gora Student Recreation and Wellness Center and is unable to check out books from Bracken Library, which is something she frequently does. “When I lose it, that means I have to wait longer and longer periods, especially if it’s more ex-
pensive, to have access to things that I’ve technically already paid for and that I’m entitled to. So that’s frustrating,” she said. “I think [the price increase] is ridiculous, utterly ridiculous. … I also had to get a [new] ID because I got married, so my last name changed, and that punishes people who change their name [and] maybe change their name because of their trans identity.” Hannah Janowicz, a sophomore public communication and theatrical studies major, said she understands the price increase because other on-campus things have also increased in price, but she thinks the jump for $10 to $25 is extreme. “For many, their ID is
ENGAGE THE VILLAGE
ENHANCE ATHLETICS
With the pedestrian and bike paths in mind, a strong goal in the Campus Master Plan is to engage the Village. Hannon said it’s important for both residential areas and student life. With increased walkways to enter the Village, the entire city of Muncie may become more engaged. Hannon said there is a potential to build south of the L.A. Pittenger Student Center, in order to bring more students to the area.
Plans for new athletic facilities would include an indoor field practice facility, but in the long term, Hannon said. New basketball, volleyball and aquatic centers are in the plan as well.
ENHANCE NORTH RESIDENTIAL AREAS
With more houses and dining communities on the north side of campus, Hannon said they could improve the connections to the academic core of campus. The master plan also includes ideas of renovating the Cow Path by making it a parallel north/south pedestrian and bike path, connecting with the East Mall and north residential areas.
CONSOLIDATE RECREATION
The plan details improving Ball State’s health and wellness image, with a new gateway and identity along Bethel Avenue. By creating new recreation areas around the Anthony Apartments, students may have a better place to be active, Hannon said. “Students can spill out of their residence halls and go play,” he said. “It’s inconvenient for [them] to have to get in their cars just to play soccer.”

their money to get food. If they lose their ID, they can only spend so much time looking for it before they need another meal,” she said. “It’s really asking a lot of the students. Yes, they should be more responsible, but sometimes people drop their ID or it slides out of its little keychain pocket. It’s not always the student’s fault, so why should they have to pay even more?”
ROADS AND TRAFFIC ON CAMPUS
In addition to the eight big ideas, Jim Lowe, the associate vice president for facilities planning and management, said alterations to campus roads are a part of the master plan as well. Lowe said these plans involve utilizing “open spaces” on campus that already exist where students don’t typically congregate with one another. By developing these areas, he said he can connect the dots. His plans also focus on the pedestrian and bike path circulation, and vehicle circulation and parking. He said their goals are to calm traffic, increase safety and draw the traffic away from “the heart of campus” and into the parameters of it. A new parking strategy will also be implemented. Lowe said he frequently hears from visitors that they “didn’t know where to park,” and he said they plan to fix that over time. “We need to work on how to make the campus visitor-friendly, we need better plans,” Lowe said.
TRUSTEES HIRE SEARCH COMMITTEE Ball State will spend $115,00 on the search for a new president, the Board of Trustees announced Friday. This is $35,000 less than the university spent for former President Paul W. Ferguson’s search firm. The firm, Witt/Kieffer, will work with a committee of 16 people from Ball State and will be led by John Thornburgh, a senior partner of the firm. Chairman Rick Hall said choosing the right search firm took time. The board interviewed four different firms for more than an hour, looking at their background, experience and how they would approach the presidential search. “We’re very impressed with Witt/Kieffer’s experience and their knowledge of Ball State,” Hall said. “They had done their homework in terms of understanding our history. We think they will be a solid choice.” Thornburgh will work to find potential candidates, but trustee Frank Hancock said the choice for the next president is still up to the university. “Their jobs are to bring the best candidates to the search committee, and they’re going to bring the best people they can,” Hancock said. “But in the end, the Board of Trustees will make the phone call.” There will be meetings taking place next week for faculty, staff, students, alumni and the community to discuss what qualities Ball State’s next president should have. – STAFF REPORTS

Minko’s potential birdie turned into a bogey as the ball rolled down the steep hill that led up to the green, forcing him to chip the ball back onto the green before sinking the putt. Watts lined up his birdie attempt and pushed the ball to the right of the pin, soft enough to let the downward slope of the green do most of the work. As it lost momentum, the ball started curving left toward the hole. It kept drifting until finally it fell into the hole. Head coach Mike Fleck said Watts’ performance on the back nine — he birdied four of the last five holes — helped clinch the Cardinals’ first team tournament title since 2014. “You could kind of tell we were getting a little momentum right there, and that’s exactly what we needed to be able to pull away and get the win,” Fleck said. Watts said sinking the putt was really just an afterthought.

Sophomore Johnny Watts and redshirt sophomore Keegan McKinney finished the Earl Yestingsmeier Invitational tournament on Saturday at the Delaware Country Club in a three-way tie with Valparaiso golfer Jared Magoline. Watts birdied on four of the last five holes in the Earl Yestingsmeier Invitational and finished tied for second.
“To be honest, I wasn’t really thinking of much,” he said. “I didn’t even think of putting pressure on myself … I told myself whatever happens, happens.” Watts and redshirt sophomore Keegan McKinney finished the tournament in a three-way tie for second place with Valparaiso redshirt senior Jared Magoline with a three-round score of 215. Wright State junior Ryan Wenzler finished with the best individual score, one stroke ahead of the three golfers in second. Ball State entered the final round with a seven-stroke lead over Cleveland State and won by the same mar-
gin after both teams scored 367 in the round. Fleck said he was pleased with the win, but the Cardinals were somewhat inconsistent. “These guys make it interesting,” he said. “At times, it looked like we had things well under control. At times, it looked like we were really struggling.” The Earl Yestingsmeier Memorial Invitational is hosted by Ball State and played at the Delaware Country Club. The Cardinals often practice there, Fleck said, but the course played differently from their practices, in part because of the warm, clear weather as opposed to the cold, wet practices in the last
few weeks. “We play here quite a bit, but actually the setup for the tournament is a lot different from what we experience,” he said. “I mean, the hole locations were set up pretty difficult, the speed of the greens was extremely fast.” Watts, however, said the little things — like sleeping in his own bed and some “nice little celebratory ice cream” at Let’s Spoon after the tournament — were advantageous. “It almost kind of keeps the feeling of just practice, a day of practice,” he said. “I think that takes a lot of pressure off of it too, just knowing that you’re in familiar territory.”
RESULTS BALL STATE “A” TEAM - 1ST (+36)

Fleck said he thinks the Cardinals are “moving in the right direction” heading into the tournament.

Ball State swept McKendree in the first two meetings between the teams this season. The Cardinals won 3-2 on the road on Feb. 4 and 3-1 at Worthen Arena on March 26. The Bearcats got their revenge in the postseason, defeating the Cardinals 25-18, 25-23, 25-23 in a close match on Ball State’s home floor. In this match, however, there were personnel differences that affected the match. The Cardinals were without junior outside attacker Brendan Surane, who led the team with 253 kills this season, and senior outside attacker Jack Lesure. Both players were sidelined with injuries against Lewis on April 8. In the first two meetings against Ball State, McKendree was missing junior opposite Maalik Walker. He was first on the Bearcats with 3.13 kills per set this season, and led the team with 13 kills in the win over the Cardinals. Walton said it was like playing “a team we hadn’t seen.” “They were, in a more critical moment, more healthy than we were,” he said. In the first set, McKendree held Ball State to a negative hitting percentage. Surane’s absence became more glaring as the match went on. “We’ve lived the last month and half feeding a lot of balls to Brendan Surane, and he’s opened up opportunities for other people as well,” Walton said. “Without that, we didn’t find any offensive punch out of anybody.” With only four seniors, Ball State will return several players from this year’s team. The Cardinals will look to build on the success they had this year and turn it into postseason success next season.

Former players return to campus for alumni game Traditional match offers break from competitive play
|
GARRETT LOOKER GENERAL REPORTER @The_LOOK_Out
Former Ball State soccer players returned to campus Sunday to take on the women’s soccer team in its alumni game. Head coach Craig Roberts said the goal was to bring players and alumni together. “It’s not necessarily about the end result,” he said. “It’s the coming together of the program and showing respect.” The day was split into two events, beginning with a match between the Cardinals’ current team against the alumni. The playful banter between the two teams quickly became grounds for bragging rights when the active players won 6-1. Sophomore Emily Scott
said the atmosphere that surrounded the game was more of a reunion than a game. “We’re used to playing super competitive games, so to get out here and actually have fun and not be so concerned with winning or losing, I think is a good opportunity for us,” she said. “And also getting to interact with the alumni is always fun.” After the first game ended, Roberts mixed the two teams together. Now donning red and yellow uniforms, the second game began with current and former players playing side-by-side. Alumna Michelle Black said it was a great experience to lace up her cleats again. “It’s fun because we haven’t played forever, and [it was fun] to play against the younger girls and see what talent they have and to get our feet back on the ball,” she said. The second match also fea-

tured players in positions they had never played before. Scott, who has never played goalie, found herself minding the nets. “I was more concerned with getting hit in the face, which is why I was excited [the ball] didn’t hit me, and I saved it,” she said. Alumna Cailey Starsk said it is important for players to return and stay connected with the program after their careers are over. “It’s good to support [the current players] and show them that for the future you should have friends outside of soccer,” she said. “Coming back together is really important ... to keep in touch and make sure we all help each other out.”

The Ball State soccer team hosted alumni on Sunday at the Briner Sports Complex. The current team and the alumni first played each other, then they played a game with teams mixed of current players and alumni for bragging rights.
By the end of the match, the red team had fallen to the yellow team 2-1, but no one really seemed to care much. What did matter, Roberts said, was the camaraderie the current
Cardinals shared with their predecessors. “It’s always an honor to have them come back and to see them and to see how they’ve matured and gone on to having families and
gone on to being successful in their careers,” Roberts said. “And it’s also a good opportunity for our current players76251 to relate to them and to see what they’ve aspired to become.”
