DINNER FOR 2ISH

Colin Grylls Sports Editor Ball State baseball makes its longest journey of the Mid-American Conference season this weekend — a 475mile trip to Buffalo, New York. But this is the last time the Cardinals (19-18, 6-6 MAC) will make the trip in the foreseeable future — the Bulls (11-22, 3-6 MAC) are cutting their baseball program at the end of thae season. “They have nothing to lose and everything to gain, so they’re a dangerous team [and] you’ve got to come ready to play,” head coach Rich Maloney said. “But it’s not good whenever you see programs eliminated. Hopefully that’ll be the end of it in the MAC.” See BASEBALL, page 5

'CARDINALS AROUND THE WORLD'

Ball State Homecoming Steering Committee releases 2017 theme Allie Kirkman Assistant News Editor The Ball State Homecoming Steering Committee has released this year’s Homecoming theme and future festival plans for the 91st anniversary. The theme is “Cardinals Around the World,” promoting a week of travels and traditions. Homecoming Steering Committee General Chair Catherine Burgess said the committee, made up of nine students and two advisors, wanted to create a theme that didn’t just focus on Muncie. “We wanted to take the traveling thing around the world because there are alumni all around the world,” Burgess said. “We also want to encourage our students today to study abroad and go out there and explore, because there is a lot out there.” The theme will open up multiple opportunities for students, Burgess said, as they can stick with the traveling theme or choose to showcase a specific country.

THE ISSUE

Every issue we take a look at a national or worldly topic to see what's happening around the globe.

EDITED BY RICH NORRIS AND JOYCE LEWIS

Indiana GOP leaders agree to close cold beer loophole The Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Republican leaders in the Indiana Statehouse have reached agreement on a measure targeting a convenience store owner who used a legal loophole to circumvent the state’s stringent law governing who can sell cold beer. A copy of the proposed legislation obtained Thursday by The Associated Press sets a bar so high that Jay Ricker, who started selling carryout cold beer last month at two of his Ricker’s gas stations, says he will likely have to stop sales in April 2018. The measure, which still must be voted on by the House and Senate, sets stringent alcohol sales rules for any establishment like Ricker’s that obtained a permit after November 2016. Under the legislation, at least 60 percent of their alcohol sales must be for onsite drinking in order to get a permit renewed, a threshold Ricker says will be impossible to meet. But the measure also includes a long list of exemptions, including fraternal clubs, golf courses, marinas, hotels and resorts. “We were targeted,” Ricker told the AP. “You’ve got all these exemptions to the rules — except us.” Decades-old rules, closely guarded by elected officials who receive generous donations from the liquor store lobby, strictly manage who can sell “iced or cooled” beer for carryout. It’s a right granted to package liquor stores and restaurants, but denied of gas stations and convenience stores, which

4-DAY FORECAST Balint Szalavari Weather Forecaster

can still sell warm beer and cold wine. Ricker worked around it by installing seating and serving burritos, landing a restaurant classification — and the right to sell cold beer. The maneuver has ignited a fierce legislative battle, with some of the state’s most powerful lawmakers scrambling to pass legislation as the session draws to a close. Liquor stores wield considerable clout in Indiana, branding themselves as small, community-oriented businesses that are fighting back against national grocery store chains and big box retailers. They also say they are protecting what’s theirs, with store permits auctioning for as much as $500,000. An Associated Press review found liquor store interests have spent at least $150,000 on lobbying in recent years while donating more than $750,000 to lawmakers since 2010. While Statehouse leaders may have struck a deal, what remains to be seen is if rank-and-file lawmakers will support it. Many are ardent believers in limited regulation and free markets, and they have ridiculed the state’s cold beer rules. “This is all about protecting the liquor store industry,” said Republican Sen. Phil Boots, of Crawfordsville. “They want their monopoly on cold beer.” House Speaker Brian Bosma acknowledged as much Thursday. When asked if he had the votes, he replied: “Not confident.”

Student hopes to use 'American Ninja Warrior' to inspire others Connor Carlson uses experience to encourage those with alopecia Brynn Mechem Environmental Reporter Preparing to be a contestant on the NBC TV show “American Ninja Warrior” requires discipline, strength and endurance. As if that weren’t enough, senior chemistry major Connor Carlson is adding another element — inspiration. “I want to use ‘American Ninja Warrior’ as a way to inspire others in the same position that I’m in,” Carlson said. When Carlson was in middle school he lost all the hair on his body due to alopecia universalis, a stress-induced disorder that causes total body hair loss. “It was hard,” Carlson said. “There was a couple months where I didn’t talk to anyone. I didn’t show my face.” Watching “American Ninja Warrior,” an NBC sports entertainment competition where contestants try to advance through physically grueling obstacles, has always been a hobby for Carlson. It was this hobby that introduced Carlson to former ANW contestant Kevin Bull, who also has alopecia. “At that time I had never really seen anyone with alopecia doing anything awesome,” Carlson said. “It kind of gave me that spark of hope and the thought that I want to go out and do something great too.” That’s how Carlson got into the workout style of calisthenics — exercises without special equipment — to help prepare him for his ANW premiere. Because rock climbers design the ANW course, Carlson has been focusing a lot on grip strength and endurance in his training at Indy Warrior, a gym in Noblesville full of obstacles similar to those seen in the show. “At first it was so hard,” he said. “I tried to do the warped wall, which I thought, ‘Oh, I’m tall, this will be easy.’ But I smashed right into the wall.” After more training Carlson said he feels ready, but is still nervous to compete. However, no matter the outcome of the competition, Carlson said he wants to use the ANW platform to inspire others. “Kevin Bull inspired a lot of kids, he inspired me,” he said. “I want to take it

even further than Kevin did. I want to use my story to inspire others and take it as far as it can go.” To help with that inspiration, Carlson created a brand on social media during his sophomore year of college called ‘tall.n.bald,’ which he said stands for empowerment and loving yourself. In addition to his brand, Carlson and former Ball State alumnus Josh Harshman created a more tangible product to help people with alopecia — their company Makou Mea. “It all started when I was at a restaurant and a server knew me from social media,” Carlson said. “She asked me why I hadn’t created some kind of product to raise awareness for people with alopecia. And then it got me thinking and I was like, ‘Oh my gosh! I totally could!’” Makou Mea means “we matter” in Hawaiian, which Carlson says is an important message to share. The company runs off a giving-back model. They recently took a four-year-old girl with alopecia to SkyZone. Because of their efforts, the group was recently invited to Malibu for a Children’s Alopecia Project event, where Carlson spoke to 40 kids with alopecia. “It was life changing,” he said. “It was a pivotal point in my life. Before that, I wasn’t fully confident with myself. I still had lingering affects from alopecia weighing on my mentality. It was the first time that I felt comfortable and confident in myself.” Carlson plans on carrying that confidence and some nervous energy into the preliminary rounds of “American Ninja Warrior” on April 24-25. If he doesn’t make it, Carlson is already making plans to train harder and try again next year. While “reaching the red button” on ANW is his current dream, Carlson said his long-term goal is to become a motivational speaker. “I want to speak in front of thousands,” he said. “I’ve always wanted to inspire people. If there can be a voice telling people to go for more and not settle, then that’s what I want to be.” Contact Brynn Mechem with any questions or concerns at bamechem@bsu.edu.

Ball State ROTC ranks No. 1 by National Guard Army National Guard ranks Reserve Officer Training Corps top in nation Lauren Owens Daily News Reporter Ball State’s Reserve Officer Training Corps program was ranked No. 1 in the nation by the Army National Guard. The Army National Guard ranks ROTC programs by how many officers are commissioned into the Army National Guard after the program. Ball State had the most commissioned officers. Lieutenant Colonel Kelly Rosenberger, a professor of military science, was an alumnus of the program and currently leads the Ball State ROTC. “It’s a big deal,” Rosenberger said. “This is my last year and it’s amazing to see how the program’s changed.” The ROTC program is also being recognized as No. 1 for this year’s Minuteman Scholarship Campaign in the five state brigade of 37 schools, and No. 2 in the nation. Minuteman scholarships cover full four-year tuition, provide a textbook

“You can add your own spin and make it unique,” she said. The committee will also be bringing something new to this year’s festivities. There will no longer be a Homecoming Village. Instead, the group is planning on hosting a “Taste of Homecoming” food truck festival, along with a live performer. Even though the event is “still in the works,” according to Burgess, she said the idea behind the change was due to a monetary concern after committee members realized people weren’t as engaged in the Homecoming Village. The team wanted to create something that would save money and revamp the week. “We wanted to focus on what the community and students would be more interested in and we think that would be food and live entertainment,” she said.

allowance and weekly stipend to students. Ball State’s ROTC was awarded 27 of these scholarships, which amounts to close to $1.1 million, Rosenberger said. Cagney Chentnik, a sophomore nursing major with a minor in military science, was awarded one of the Minuteman scholarships. She said it was an extensive process. “You have to show that you have what it takes to be in the program,” Chentnik said. “It is hard to be in the program and balance school.” Chentnik joined the ROTC program in order to become an officer in the Army National Guard. She said it feels good to be in the No. 1 ROTC in the nation. “It feels like we have the best training, the best cadre around,” Chentnik said.“It feels good to know that when I go into the officers side and I commission, that I’ll have that experience and good knowledge and a good base to go back to.” Contact Lauren Owens with any questions or concerns at ldowens2@bsu.edu.

“The food trucks that we bring in are always very popular.” The food trucks will represent different types of food and cultures to go along with the theme. All of the other Homecoming traditions, including the Talent Search, Campus Dinner, Air Jam, Bed Races, Parade, Football Game and 5k Run/ Walk will still take place. “This is the perfect way to showcase that college spirit that we have for Ball State,” Burgess said. “It is one of the longestrunning traditions on campus, so be a part of it.

When James Wells first asked Brock Frazer to talk with him about forming Summit in early 2016, he agreed, but only on the conditions of getting a beer at Brothers Bar & Grill. Fast forward one year later, and members of the Student Government Association executive branch staff were leading their successors, OPTiC, in taking the oath of office at inauguration Wednesday. Tearful goodbyes and awards for outstanding members filled the ceremony, which included a special award for “dedication, service and steadfast leadership” presented to a non-SGA member: Interim President Terry King. “I have a lot of confidence in this institution because of the quality of the student body, especially the leadership of the student body,” King said. “Leadership is not always fun. It’s not always easy. But it’s always important,” he said. And even though former SGA

President pro-tempore Bailey Loughlin remembers debating whether to invest in pencils or pens in her first years as a senator, she also sees the impact student government has on campus, referencing resolutions like gender-inclusive housing and an addition about bias incident reporting to future syllabi. While addressing the inaugural crowd, Loughlin said she estimated this to be the busiest and most productive year she has seen, with over half of Summit’s numerous platform points completed. Wells credited this year’s success to the hard work of SGA members and the bond between members of the executive branch. “When Summit took office, I rejected the notion that SGA is ineffective and does little to benefit the students. And this year, we have disproved that statement,” Wells said, holding back tears. “You guys have been the best team I’ve ever been a part of, and I’m grateful that you said yes.” Looking ahead to next year, President Greg Carbó said he wants to make students’ voices even louder through SGA.

Riders scream as the Freak Out pendulum ride swings them nearly upside-down at the Ball State Late Nite Carnival April 22, 2016. The 14th annual Late Nite Carnival will be held today from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m.

Ball State students and community members of all ages attend the Late Nite Carnival April 22, 2016. This year, the carnival features 18 thrill rides, free games and prizes, live music, refreshments and live entertainers, including a caricature artist and airbrush tattoos.

It isn’t only the Late Nite staff who works on putting the carnival together, said Alicia Fitzgerald, assistant director for Student Center programs. “We work with our campus partners, such as UPD, Risk Management and Parking Services early on the schedule [of] the event and discuss changes,” she said. “We work with facilities to coordinate the logistics of the parking lot and access to power, water, accessible ramps, et cetera.” In addition to Late Nite’s campus partners, more staff members are hired for the event. There will be about 60 students who will work at the carnival, Fitzgerald said. Late Nite Carnival will feature 18 thrill rides, free games and prizes, live music, refreshments and live entertainers, including a caricature artist and airbrush tattoos. This year, a new ride, “Spider,” will be featured at the carnival as well as a new lineup of performers, including Setting Color, The Trip, Seth Cook and The Fossil Generation. There will also be a fireworks show at 10 p.m. Food trucks from places like Gigi’s Cupcakes and Puerta Vallarta will be featured at the carnival, offering food options for less than $5. Additional games and prizes will also be available for students to participate in. Last year, a carnival ride malfunctioned and injured two Ball State students. The Department of Marketing and Communications said all rides must reach a standard of safety protocol and are inspected prior to operation. University spokesperson Joan Todd said the same ride will not be at this year’s carnival. As soon as this year’s carnival comes to an end, Fitzgerald said the Late Nite team will begin planning for next year, hoping to create something students, faculty and staff will remember long after the final ride has been taken down.

Track and field travels to compete in Illinois Twilight Cardinals look to build off Ball State Challenge success Olivia Adams Track and Field Reporter This Saturday, Ball State track and field travels to Urbana-Champaign, Illinois, to compete in the Illinois Twilight. Most teams in the meet are from Illinois, including Illinois, Chicago State, Illinois State, Eastern Illinois and Bradley University, though Dayton will be there competing as well. The Cardinals are coming off the Ball State Challenge, where they won two events, had 22 Top 10 finishes and had 10 career-best performances. They posted a 4-2 dual record, finishing behind Mid-American Conference rivals Eastern Michigan and Western Michigan. Last weekend, sophomore Regan Lewis, sophomore Peyton Stewart and freshman Maritza Rodriguez were the talk of the meet. Stewart is the second Cardinal student-athlete to earn herself a spot in the MAC Outdoor Championship in the 100m dash, automatically qualifying with a time of 11.74.

On top of that, she came in first place and beat the career best she set for herself at last year’s Ball State Challenge. She is now second in the MAC. Lewis cleared 1.76m in the high jump. Despite the second place finish last weekend, she moved into second in the conference. Her jump is also the fourth-best individual effort in Ball State’s history. Rodriguez was the second of the two to get event wins when she came in first place in the 5000m run and finished with a time of 18:32.82. Her closest opponent, IUPUI, was almost 10 seconds behind her when she crossed the finish line. The Cardinals had a great meet last weekend and plan on carrying that momentum into this weekend’s meet at Illinois University. Ball State will be competing Saturday, April 22. Throwing events start at 3 p.m. with the women’s hammer throw. Jumping events start at 4 p.m. with men and women’s long jump, and track events start at 4 p.m. with the 3000m steeplechase. Contact Olivia Adams with any questions or concerns at omadams@bsu.edu.

Women's tennis competes for regular-season title Top teams Akron, Ball State compete in final match of year Adam Chowdhury Women's Tennis Reporter The Mid-American Conference regular season title will be decided Saturday afternoon in Muncie as the top two conference teams face off in the final match of the regular season. Ball State women’s tennis (19-2, 7-0 MAC) entertain Akron (23-2, 7-0 MAC) at 1 p.m. Saturday, and head coach Max Norris is relishing the prospect of a top-tier battle. “Obviously to be playing another team who’s right at the top of the standings is going to be a good opportunity for us to see how much better we’ve gotten, and it’s going to be a good opportunity for us to serve as a launching pad into the conference tournament as well,” Norris said. A win this weekend would also parallel the Cardinals’ 15-game win streak set last season. Akron has never won a MAC regular season championship, but the team won the MAC tournament back-to-back in 2011 and 2012. Norris expects to have a tough fight on their hands, as with every other MAC team this year, he said. “I think they’ve got a lot of smart players, a lot of savvy players, and I expect that we’re going to need to bring a lot of focus, a lot of intensity and a lot of effort to be able to achieve our goals.” Ever since Norris took the helm, Ball State has not lost to Akron (although, the last two matches have ended in narrow 4-3 victories over the Zips). Sophomore Audrey Berger will be coming into the match on a singles losing streak — the first for her all season. Berger lost her singles match 6-3, 7-5 to Miami’s Hannah Shteyn. Norris said

she may have lost the edge which took her on the singles run this season. This Saturday is also senior day at Ball State, and the Cardinals have three seniors on the roster. One of them is Rosa Calderon. She has mainly occupied the No. 6 singles spot but has also played her fair share of doubles this season. Norris said Calderon has always been a great teammate. “She just takes everything in stride,” Norris said. “She’s playing her best tennis of her career, there’s no doubt about that.” Norris has been impressed with the fight senior Toni Ormond has shown despite not playing her greatest tennis this year. Ormond would probably admit this too, Norris said. “Toni’s progressed a lot as a player and progressed a lot as a person,” Norris said. “It says a lot about her that we’ve had our ups and downs, but she always handles it interpersonally with me, and she handles everything like an adult and takes the personal responsibility. That goes a long way because the other players on the team see that.” Senior Carmen Blanco has been voted MAC player of the week a couple of times this year for both singles and doubles, and she has led the team in the top two singles positions throughout MAC play. “Carmen’s done a great job of, right when she came in, she instantly garnered respect from her teammates. She carries herself with a lot of class off the court,” Norris said. After the final regular season matchup, the Cardinals will begin MAC tournament play April 28, which will be hosted in Muncie.

Senior pitcher Kevin Marnon pitches the ball during the game against Ohio University on April 2 at the Ball Diamond at First Merchants Ballpark Complex. The Cardinals will compete for the Mid-American Conference title against the Buffalo Bulls (11-22, 3-6 MAC) this weekend.

BASEBALL Continued from page 1

Redshirt senior left-handed pitcher Kevin Marnon will start the first game of the series Friday with senior righty BJ Butler unavailable — fitting, given that Marnon came to Ball State after Akron shut down its baseball program in 2015. NCAA rules allow student-athletes who transfer from programs that are shutting down to be eligible without sitting out a year, which Marnon said could motivate Buffalo’s players. “I feel for them,” Marnon said. “I know probably what’s going through their head and a lot of what-ifs and a lot of questions running through their head. But, fortunately for them, this season’s sort of like a tryout for them. They get to showcase themselves in front of the other teams they’re playing, because I’m sure they’re going to be looking for players. I didn’t have that opportunity because [Akron’s baseball program] was cut in the summertime.” Senior third baseman Alex Maloney said he’s kept up to date on Buffalo’s situation through his summer ball connections. In Summer 2014, he played with Bulls

senior outfielder Vinny Mallaro for the Kalamazoo Growlers of the Northwoods League, and the two still keep in touch. “I talk to him, and they’re taking the approach that they’re going out with a bang,” Alex Maloney said. “Testament to them, they’ve got a solid team over there. And playing out at their place, it’s definitely not going to be easy.” One of the toughest parts of playing in Buffalo, said senior middle infielder Sean Kennedy, is the weather. This weekend, temperatures are projected to stay below 60 degrees with a high of just 49 degrees on Friday. The extra motivation of not an uncertain future, though, could be a bigger challenge than the weather. “I know [Buffalo head coach Ron Torgalski is] going to have his guys ready to play, and like coach [Maloney] said, they’re going to throw everything they’ve got,” Kennedy said. “They’ve got nothing to lose — this is the last year of their program.” The series begins 3 p.m. Friday, followed by a pair of 1 p.m. games Saturday and Sunday.

'Concrete Clouds' tackles mental illness Show student-written, selected for New Play Project Alexandra Smith Theatre Reporter Mental health issues are often ignored, but the selection for this year’s New Play Project puts them in the spotlight. “Concrete Clouds” is the Cave Theatre’s latest production. The story focuses on two girls who visit the same therapist. Devon Hayakawa, a sophomore musical theater major, wrote the show for her playwriting class during the Fall 2016 semester. Hayakawa describes the show as a story about healing. “Mental health issues are so frequently swept under the rug in our society, and learning how to deal with them is something that isn’t addressed as often as it should be,” Hayakawa said. “That being said, ‘Concrete Clouds’ doesn’t hold the perfect formula for healing, it’s just a show about two girls putting their lives back together however they can.” Rehearsals started in February, though there were changes for much of the

process because of the continuous editing, said Emily Fischer, who is directing the show. The junior theater directing and video production major said the scheduling process has been very hectic. “Specifically near the end, it felt like we were running out of time by the time we locked the script and it was incredibly stressful to feel opening approaching,” Fischer said. “Overall it was an exhilarating process that pushed everyone involved, and in the end we were able to create something together that we can all be proud of.” Locking the script means deciding not to make any additional changes. The original script Hayakawa submitted was 42 pages long, but after seven rewrites, the work is 61 pages. Directing “Concrete Clouds” was Fischer’s first experience with a new work. “I feel that this play really helped all of us learn what it is to be artists,” she said. “It helped us to explore new territory and to build a story worth telling from the ground up.” Watching her work come to life has been

a bizarre experience, Hayakawa said. “I’m really proud of the work the cast and creative team has done. They’re all incredibly talented, and I can’t imagine a better group to bring ‘Concrete Clouds’ to life,” she said. “I really hope people leave this play knowing that whatever they’re going through, it’s valid.”

“Concrete Clouds” will be at the

Cornerstone to host Muncie Brewfest

Community event hosts 14 breweries, live entertainment

Emily Sabens Community Reporter Fourteen different Indiana breweries will set up shop in Cornerstone Center for the Arts this weekend to share their own unique craft beer with the community. On Saturday, Cornerstone Center for the Arts will be hosting its first Muncie Brewfest from 3 to 7 p.m. The idea of creating a festival in Muncie that celebrates the best craft beer in Indiana originated 8 years ago, when a similar event was held in 2009 and 2010 by Ty Morton, former owner of Muncie Beverage Training, Inc. This year, though, Morton and Jeff Robinson, Cornerstone’s director of community relations, have teamed up to bring some of Indiana’s best breweries to Saturday’s festival. “We’re really excited to have some of the best breweries around the state come to the festival,” Robinson said.

All of the breweries featured at Saturday’s event will be exclusively from Indiana. Local Muncie breweries Elm Street Brewing Company, Guardian Brewing Company, New Corner Brewing Company and Twin Archer Brew Club will all be attending the festival. However, many out-of-town breweries will be traveling to Cornerstone to take part in the event. Deer Creek Brewery, located in Noblesville, will be making the trip to Muncie to offer their beer. Kokomobased Half Moon Restaurant and Brewery will also be coming to the festival, along with Scarlet Lane Brewing Company, which is in McCordsville. Besides the wide selection of the craft beer, attendees of the festival will also be able to enjoy a variety of live entertainment. Local DJs and musicians will be performing at the festival, including Jake Hendershot, who competed on NBC’s “The Voice” in 2016. Although this will be the first year

Cornerstone Center for the Arts will host its first Muncie Brewfest from 3 to 7 p.m. Saturday.

Cornerstone is sponsoring the Muncie Brewfest, the center hopes to make it a continuing, annual event. The festival will take place on one floor of Cornerstone this year, but the center hopes to expand it in coming years, Robinson said. The event will be open to anyone 21 years of age or older. Tickets can be purchased before the event online or can be bought at Cornerstone, The Fickle

Peach, Elm Street Brewing Company, Guardian Brewing Company or the New Corner Brewing Company. General tickets cost $25, while VIP tickets are available for $40, which allow you to enter into the festival an hour earlier at 2 p.m. Contact Emily Sabens with any questions or concerns at ecsabens@bsu.edu.
