Iconic pop star Prince died at his Minneapolis estate. He was 57 years old. His publicist, Yvette Noel-Schure, confirmed the news Thursday afternoon. The exact cause of death is
among those who quoted Prince on Twitter, writing, “This is what is sounds like when doves cry.” Others, including Brian Logan Dales and Lin-Manuel Miranda, quoted the beginning of the song “Let’s Go Crazy,” writing, “Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to get through this thing called Life.” During the 1980s, Prince made a name for himself combining pop, funk, folk and rock music in the rock
‘n’ roll era. He released a total of 37 albums and toured more than 30 times. He continued doing both up until his death. Prince won seven Grammy Awards over the course of his career. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004, hailed as a trailblazer. Travis Harvey, the owner of Village Green Records, agrees. “Of course he was a trailblazer,” Harvey said. “He created a sound that was
all these different [genres] at once. He was such an unorthodox musician, coming from the Midwest, and he chose to stay there and build himself a giant studio, Paisley Park, and work from there.” Harvey said he has significant memories of his father listening to Prince and telling him all the instruments in the recording were done by Prince himTNS PHOTO self.

t’s a rare role for Indiana to play during a presidential election, but this year, Hoosier voters could have an important voice. Indiana hosts the only May 3 primary in the nation, and if its election is similar to other states, the lead up to the primary may include higher voter interest and heated campaign rallies to define this year’s intense race for the White House. By this time in past elections, the races have

been mostly completed before Hoosiers even cast their votes because presidential contenders have earned enough delegates to ensure their party’s nomination. This means the Indiana primary is then, usually, just a political formality to complete the nomination process.

The 2016 Late Nite Carnival is from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m. tonight. The event is free to students and $5 for guests.
It’s that time of year again, when crews start to set up rides and booths in the commuter parking lot as the Late Nite Carnival approaches tonight. Every year, Late Nite puts up a carnival on campus to celebrate the end of the semester before Finals Week. Like all Late Nite events, the carnival is free for Ball
State students and only $5 for guests. Sarah Johnson went to the Late Nite Carnival last year where, despite riding the spinning ride three times until throwing up, “the best part was the free cotton candy.” Like last year, every student gets a free cotton candy, popcorn and Coca Cola product with their entrance. All students need to do is swipe their IDs — there are no additional tickets to buy once you get in. This year will have more rides than last year’s Late Nite Carnival. 1. CLOUDY

WHY WE NEED MORE CLASSES ON EMPATHY DANIEL BROUNT DO YOU COPY? DANIEL BROUNT IS A SENIOR CREATIVE WRITING MAJOR AND WRITES “DO YOU COPY?” FOR THE DAILY NEWS. HIS VIEWS DO NOT NECESSARILY AGREE WITH THOSE OF THE NEWSPAPER. WRITE TO DANIEL AT DJBROUNT@BSU.EDU.
My four years of classes at Ball State have taught me plenty about my major and helped prep me for my future career, but it wasn’t until this semester that I took a class that taught me to be a better person. Residence hall directors Danielle Badgett and Michael King are teaching an honors colloquium this semester: “The Right to Exist: Social Justice Journeys 2001 to Today.” Our class topics have ranged from being Muslim in the U.S., to the female voice in leadership, to transgender representation, to slacktivism. Learning about these histories, movements and modern-day activism has been important. But what is most important in this class is the strive for empathy. In college, we take all sorts of classes related to our majors and all sorts of general education cours-
es. Any honest student will say a lot of those lessons abandon their memory once the course ends. But there are some things that stick with us, some things we need to learn and never forget. Empathy is one of those things. Growing up gay in an unusually diverse high school, I have always considered myself extremely empathetic. But gay or not, I am still much more privileged than most. And just because I went through a personal struggle in discovering my sexual orientation, it doesn’t mean I understand the pain everyone else feels. Our society acts as if each privilege a person has is a piece of armor that prevents the tarnishing of their character just a little bit more. Besides my sexual orientation, I am
privileged in almost every other way. I have so much armor that I have grown almost oblivious to the pain those less privileged than me feel. That suit of armor includes a helmet, and looking through the eyes of that helmet has left me with tunnel vision. Looking back, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve mistaken giving sympathy for sharing empathy. I would feel sorry for others’ struggles, rather than trying to feel with them. Acting like I understand everyone else’s feelings all the time would be minimizing the profoundness of their emotion. But trying — using my experiences to bring myself closer to their emotions — is worth so much more than feeling bad for a person. I value having a course that has increased my awareness and education
about several social justice movements, but I value it so much more for teaching me to try to understand both sides of these issues. Over the past year, Ball State has faced its own issues of diversity and tolerance. And like many universities, we have taken some steps forward and some steps back. Having courses that examine empathy, understanding and allyship is important not only to better students as they move into the world, but also to foster a more accepting and safe community. If college is about preparing ourselves for the future, it shouldn’t only be about preparing for a career. It should be about teaching ourselves to be better people. I’m graduating Ball State as a better, more empathetic person thanks to this course, and it’s one class I’ll never forget.

Burkie’s Drive-In remains popular in Muncie Burger restaurant has been open for almost 63 years

SABRINA SCHNETZER EVENTS REPORTER slschnetzer@bsu.edu
Within walking distance from campus, on Jackson Street, lies a local staple: Burkie’s Drive-In. This burger joint, painted in red and white, looks like you’ve walked back in time to the ’50s. Cars pull up to the menu boards outside, which are fashioned with old buttons customers can push for service. Servers come to each car, taking the customers’ orders and serving food on trays that rest on the cars’ windows. It is a place that definitely has its niche. Burkie’s first opened in 1954. It was a popular place for teenagers to hang out and get ice cream sodas. Rob Wardrop, a Ball State alumnus, has been the owner for the past three years. He knew the previous owner because he has an office right across the street. He was a regular at the drive-in, going there for lunch often, and became friends with the previous owner. “I’ve always enjoyed Burkie’s,” he said. “I’ve been going there for, oh gosh, probably 30-plus years.” When the previous owner was looking to sell, he called Wardrop, who jumped at the chance. Wardrop said Burkie’s became such a Muncie staple because it’s stood the test of time. “The place was built in 1954, so you think about,

you know the 1950s and the things that were going on, I guess you could call it a ‘teenager hang out,’ you know, an ice cream and soda kind of place like the old fashion drive-in,” he said. “I don’t know how long McDonald’s has been here, but Burkie’s was probably here before McDonald’s came to Muncie. So if you think about it along those lines, it was quite popular for a long time.” Since Wardrop has been the owner, there have been some renovations, such as a paint job, the new driveup roof and menu updates — which include three new hamburgers, four hamburger wraps, three new salads, breadsticks and pickle chips. Other than the few renovations and addition of menu items, Wardrop kept
There was one recording in which Prince played a total of 27 instruments, Harvey said. “He was so proficient, almost to a prodigious level,” he said. “People compare him to Michael Jackson, but the difference is that Michael Jackson was kind of born into the role. But Prince just had an acumen to create music remarkably.” One of Prince’s other legacies is the parental advisory sticker. His lyrics were some of the first to make people consider what was deemed appropriate or not for children, Harvey said. Lindsey Farley, a freshman journalism major, called Prince a true legend. “[Prince’s death] is very sad,” Farley said. “My dad always played prince for me growing up. It hit me as

He likes its food — in particular the hot ham and cheese sandwich — as well as the friendly atmosphere and speedy delivery of the food, “they’re always attentive to your order,” he said. “I’ve always been impressed with how good their food is, Pickell said. “There’s something about those older kind of historic places where the food’s good no matter what.” Pickell said one of Burkie’s greatest attributes is that it’s locally owned. “I think there’s something about it when you have a locally owned busi-

ness making food for you and that you’re giving back to the community in some way by supporting local businesses,” he said. Pickell knew about Burkie’s because one of his friends lived across the street, but he doesn’t think that’s the case for other students, mainly because there aren’t a lot of other businesses near it. “There’s actually a surprising number of people who don’t actually know what Burkie’s is,” he said. Although some people are unfamiliar with Burkie’s, there are many customers who have fond memories at Burkie’s and come back to reminisce. “We get stories almost every day of people that come in there that have been coming there since the 1950s and 1960s,”

REBECCA KIZER ADMINISTRATION REPORTER rjkizer@bsu.edu
The search for a new president will reset campus, providing a fresh look at the school’s goals and acknowledging that the community wants transparency, a member of the search committee said. As the search committee for a new president met for the first time Thursday, Rick Hall, one of the 16 members and president of the Board of Trustees, said much of the process had to be handled privately so candidates would not be discouraged from applying by unwanted publicity. “The search will be confidential, but the committee
PRIMARY:
| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 But this year, the delegates for each party’s convention to be selected from Indiana could be enough to tip the balance for front runners Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, Ball State political science professor Sean Hildebrand said. “Voting is always important, but both the Democrats and Republicans have a competitive primary for president this year,” Hildebrand said. Indiana voters could also put the “magic number” of delegates needed to gain their party’s nomination out of reach should their competition win the state, or at least a significant number of delegates. “I’m sure we will see [Bernie] Sanders, Clinton, Trump, [John] Kasich and [Ted] Cruz each visit some part of the state in the next couple weeks before the primary,” Hildebrand said. And he’s right — presidential candidates are already dropping campaign offices across the state, and Republican presidential candidates Trump and Cruz both visited Indianapolis this week. Kasich is planning a visit to Indianapolis Tuesday according to a campaign consultant’s Twitter. Students at Ball State are gearing up for the election as well. Alec Edick, vice president of the University Democrats, said this election cycle is different on both sides of the aisle. “For Democrats, we are looking at an election that will truly decide the direc-
is to report from time to time to the rest of the campus of the progress that we’re making,” Hall said. The unexpected departure of former President Paul W. Ferguson after just under 18 months in January — accompanied by little in the way of explanation — triggered complaints that the trustees were acting in secret. Hall said that under university policy, state and federal law, committee members cannot discuss the details of the presidential search. “Any member of the search committee who breaches confidentiality may be removed without replacement,” he said. “That is very important, not because we want to be secretive in any way, but to conduct the process that yields the most qualified candidates.” About 400 to 500 candidates are expected. The com-
tion of our party,” Edick said. “Voting in this election cycle, especially in the primary, is key because it will essentially decide which paths both parties take.” University Democrats Communications Director Mary Pat Stemnock echoed Edick’s emphasis on the importance of voting in this year’s primary election, and now her goal is to educate and encourage her peers to vote. “I’ve taken to social media to explain the process, presented in front of my sorority sisters and encouraged my friends to be vocal about politics,” Stemnock said. As for the university, Stemnock suggested professors be understanding when it comes to class absences on primary day. Polls are open for a limited amount of time, and for busy students, accommodations need to be made so individuals can exercise their right to vote, she said. “Despite what some may believe, each individual vote really does count,” Stemnock said. “Our democracy only thrives if everyone contributes, and this year, delegates can also change the game in a very close contest on both sides.” In Indiana, there are 92 Democratic delegates, and 57 delegates are up for grabs on the Republican side. On the Democratic side, 83 delegates are given out to the candidates on a prorated basis on the percentage of votes they receive during the primary election. These pledged delegates must vote for the candidate they are assigned to. Indiana also will have nine superdelegates who can vote for any candidate they choose. On the Republican side, 27
mittee’s chair, Matt Momper, echoed the need for privacy. “We’re going to get the cream of the crop — as long as we’re a closed search,” Momper said. The consulting firm Witt/ Kieffer of Oak Brook, Ill., is being paid $115,000 for its services. John Thornburgh, a senior partner with the group, joined the meeting by speakerphone. Thornburgh said the field will be narrowed to eight to 10 candidates the committee will meet in person. Three or four will be selected by the committee to pass along to the full Board of Trustees. They won’t be ranked in order of preference. “The general timeline, — we’ll be making it much more specific as we get into it — … will be to really understand what you want your next president to accomplish, their backat-large delegates will be pledged to the candidate who wins the overall statewide vote, and 27 pledged district delegates — divided among Indiana’s nine congressional districts — will be committed to whomever wins their own district. Additionally, three delegates are chosen from the party hierarchy. Indiana delegates on both sides of the aisle are bound by the results of the primary election only in the first round of voting at their party’s convention. If Trump wins Indiana, those 30 delegates have to vote for Trump on the first ballot at the convention. The remaining 27 delegates are awarded by congressional district — three delegates from each of Indiana’s nine districts are required to vote for the winner of their respective congressional district. But if no candidate earns a majority (1,237) of delegates on the first ballot, the delegates chosen to represent Indiana will be free to vote for whomever they prefer. BSU Republicans representative Kristin Baker said a poor performance from Trump could mean he has very little chance of making it to the 1,237 delegates he needs to clinch the nomination. But if Trump pulls through, it could be just the push of momentum he needs to win the nomination in the first ballot of the convention before delegates become unbound. “It is very difficult to predict the outcome of the Indiana primary,” Baker said.

ground, their skill set,” Thornburgh said. “But we need to be in agreement where this campus needs to go and how the next president can drive that.” Diversity will be a major consideration, he said. “Diversity in all respects,” Thornburgh said. “Certainly in demographics, but also where they come from, how they developed their leadership skills. They can come from a lot of areas, within and potentially from outside of higher education.” The consultant is helping write a document to guide the search. “We’ll be coming back in about a month with a draft document with the facts and figures, compelling elements to refine in writing the leadership agenda,” Thornburgh said. “The strongest can-

“I will be meeting with the senior leadership of the board, hearing first-hand what’s on people’s minds, and that will help me further appreciate what’s special about Ball State,” he said. Thornburgh said the Board of Trustees could choose the next university president as soon as October 2016, but also that “timelines and deadlines shouldn’t stand in the way of exceptional results.”

The youth vote and participation in politics has statistically been low, even though it has been increasing slightly in past years. But some support for any candidate can be seen on T-shirts, the bumpers of cars, hats and even bathroom stalls throughout and around campus. Last weekend, employees at Brothers Bar & Grill in the Village found stickers that read, “Trump 2016, finally someone with balls. #ChirpChirp” plastered across the bathrooms, which isn’t something unusual, said Josh Morman, manager at Brothers. “People put stickers [on the bathroom walls] all the time — stickers, gum, normal stuff, normal bar stuff,” Morman said. “It could have been [any candidate].” Donald Trump, the real estate mogul, television personality, author and front-runner in the Republican presidential primary has sparked the interest of conservatives on Ball State’s campus. Trump is leading the race to the Republican nomination, ahead of Ted Cruz and John Kasich. He visited Indianapolis Wednesday to host a rally at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. Anthony Cook, a junior construction management major and member of the BSU College Republicans, said he went to the rally to support Trump and represent Ball State. “I thought [the rally] was really good, it really resonated with me as an Indiana voter,” Cook said. “He spoke a lot about Governor Pence, Carrier [Corp.] and the things happening in our state, and that was really near and dear to me. I appreciated that.” Cook supports Trump be-
cause he has a background in business. “I think Trump is a very smart and successful business man,” Cook said. “Yes, he started with his ‘small’ loan of a million dollars, but it takes a smart person to take a million dollars and turn it into however much he’s turned it into.” While Cook went to the rally to support Trump, others went to protest him. Freshman Hannah Aletheia, an actuarial science and mathematical economics major, said she was not necessarily protesting to send a message, but to show support for those in her life. “I’m here because I wouldn’t be able to look myself in the mirror if the Trump campaign came through Indiana with the xenophobia, the racism, the Islamophobia, the fear-mongering and didn’t face any kind of resistance,” she said. “Not here. Not in my state. Not against me and my brothers and sisters.” Since early in the election, Trump has talked about building a wall to help protect our border, as well as a plan to deport illegal immigrants. However, Cook said he doesn’t think it’s a feasible to do either of those. “As a construction management major, there is not enough concrete masonry unit in the world to build the wall that he wants to build. It’s not possible,” Cook said. “I think the idea of throwing out all the immigrants in this country is not feasible, either. You can’t do that. It won’t happen.” Monica Allman, a freshman history and music major, used to be a Marco Rubio supporter before he dropped out of the race. But she said she doesn’t support Trump because he isn’t a real conservative. “He is rude and loud, and he gets very angry with his defense and his rebuttals in a lot of debates,” Allman said. “As a conservative, part of it is being able to have your own values that tell you that it’s not OK to
do [that] and being able to understand other opinions but still be able to put your point across.” Even though she doesn’t support Trump, she said she has some common ground with his view on the military because she was raised in a military family. “I’m all for not cutting military spending, not necessarily increasing it but not cutting it either,” she said. In Allman’s opinion, the rise of Trump is due to his anti-establishment status and his outspokenness. He is something different, but she has worries that there is a voting block backing him with racist views. “I think one other big component to the reason he’s so popular is because ever since the Civil Rights [Movement], we have kind of pretended that racism was fixed, but it’s not,” Allman said. “A lot of his followers are racists, and I think that gives him a big hold.” For some Trump supporters, this idea is what keeps them from speaking out about their support. Michael Campton, a sophomore business major who is also part of the BSU College Republicans, does not share his political views in public because he’s a Trump supporter. “I don’t wear my Donald Trump shirt. I choose not to wear it because I am afraid I am going to be called a name going to class,” Campton said. “I don’t put a sticker on my car. I don’t want my car to get keyed. I know that happens, which is why I don’t, and I keep quiet. Unfortunately, that is imposing on my free speech.” Campton supports Trump because he is a businessman and wasn’t a politician before the presidential race. He is also tired of the Republican Party. “[The Republican Party] has let many of us down, and we are craving for someone to turn the establishment upside down,” Campton said. Even though Campton supports Trump, he still has some disagreements with
some of his views related to abortion and access to nuclear weapons for countries that don’t have them. He said tolerance and respect to others’ beliefs is important, and people should not assume that others are a certain way because they support a certain candidate. “If Trump says something that might be considered racist or whatever, it does not mean that all Trump supporters agree with everything he says or does — including me,” Campton said. Kelsey Jones, a first-year public relations graduate student, is a conservative who is undecided but is leaning toward Kasich. She said she’s worried that Trump will ruin the United States’ international relations. “I think he will ruin our international relations and engage us in unnecessary conflicts or wars,” Jones said. “Even though I agree with him that our country is too concerned with being ‘politically correct,’ I don’t think he acts very presidential.” She said Trump has damaged the Republican Party and has made it less credible “in a time when we especially need valid and strong candidates to run against the Democrats.” Jones compared Trump’s appeal to voters with Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign — except on opposite sides of ideology. “I think Trump has an appeal to many Americans because of his promise to ‘make America great again.’ I think many Americans are concerned with where our country is headed and are seeking drastic changes,” Jones said. “He has the ‘change’ factor that Obama had eight years ago even though it’s completely on the other end of the spectrum.” The Indiana primary is May 3 and the 2016 Republican National Convention will be in Cleveland, Ohio, from July 18-21.

Keeping it clean Muncie exceeds federal water quality regulations
DN FILE PHOTO EMMA ROGERS
The city of Muncie uses surface water from the White River and groundwater from the Prairie Creek Reservoir for its supply. The water from the White River exceeds the state and federal regulations, but is known for being trash-ridden. The Muncie area community has sponsored a cleanup for the White River for nine years in a row now.

KAYCE PATTON CONTRIBUTING REPORTER klpatton@bsu.edu
In the 1970s Muncie’s economy relied on the money and jobs factories brought in. They also brought in a not-so-positive side effect as well — pollution. Factories would dump harmful chemicals into the river by the gallons each day. Muncie’s water has improved dramatically. But people’s perception of it has not. According to a report from Indiana American Water, the company that provides Muncie with its water and the largest investor-owned utility in Indiana, Muncie’s water is of higher quality than in most other Indiana cities and numerous other cities throughout the nation. Indiana ranked 30th among the 50 states in the U.S. for water quality in 2015, according to the personal finance website WalletHub that released its report on 2015’s Most & Least Eco-Friendly States in April 2015. “Our water utilities perform many tests each day to ensure that our customers receive high-quality drinking water,” according to the Indiana American Water company’s website. The city of Muncie uses both surface and groundwater for its supply, according to the Indiana state government website. Surface water comes from the White River and from the Prairie Creek Reservoir, while ground water comes from several wells in the Muncie area. John Craddock, director emeritus of the Muncie Sanitary District, started doing research on the White River in the 1970s, which resulted in the dramatic increase in the water quality of the river. Craddock funded his research with his own money. He then influenced the Muncie Sanitary District to make a part-time position so he would have someone to aid him. According to the Muncie Sanitary District website, following his speech at the first Earth Day on Ball State’s campus in April 1970, newspapers ran a series of articles informing the public of Craddock’s research. Muncie citizens, surprised at the quality of the White River, started asking questions. Craddock said during the 1970s, his goal was to decrease general river pollution, starting with industrial pretreatment. The Muncie Sanitary District and Craddock worked to implement pretreatment systems for large industries to treat their water that was filled with harsh chemicals before sending it to the wastewater treatment plant. “The condition of our river reflects how we feel about our natural resources and view ourselves, as well as how others view our community,” Craddock said on the Muncie
Sanitary District website. Since the 1970s the river’s zinc concentrations have been reduced 77 percent, Chromium has been reduced 83 percent, and lead has been reduced 97 percent. Although water quality experts who work for Indiana American Water and the Muncie Wastewater Treatment Plant have the proof to back up the quality of Muncie’s water, various Ball State students still worry. Ball State senior fashion merchandising major Jillian Hooper said Muncie water doesn’t measure up to the water at her house in her hometown of New Palestine, Ind. “Any time I fill up a glass of water, white particles are floating around the cup,” Hooper said. “Sometimes they stick to the cup, and other times they float in the water. I’m not really sure what they are, but I’ve never experienced that anywhere else. And it makes me nervous to think about what it may be.” Sophomore elementary education major Jenny Schultz has similar feelings. “I don’t know what it is, but Muncie water just doesn’t taste as good to me,” Schultz said. “It looks pretty cloudy sometimes, too. I just can’t imagine that it’s clean enough.” Some students insist on drinking bottled water because they think bottled water is cleaner. However, according to the Indiana American Water website, there actually isn’t any evidence that bottled water is better than tap. “All tap water is required to meet strict standards set by the USEPA under the Safe Drinking Water Act,” the site reads. “The water provided by community water systems is regularly tested for compliance with state and federal regulations, whereas bottled water suppliers do not have such stringent regulatory requirements.” When it comes to the White River’s water, the students’ opinions don’t vary much there, either. “I probably wouldn’t ever swim in it or eat fish out of it,” Hooper said. “It seems like the kind of place where I’d grow a third eye if I swallowed the water.” While the Muncie drinking water is better than it was 40 years ago, the municipal water of the White River area has more chemicals and pollutants in it than the national average, according to the National Drinking Water database. This area includes Anderson, Noblesville, Fishers and Indianapolis. The drinking water has six chemicals, compared to an average of four nationwide, and 13 pollutants found in the Muncie drinking water, compared to eight on the national average. However, the Indiana Department of Environmental Management has reported no violations for drinking water since 2004.
CLEANING THE WHITE RIVER Although the water pulled from the White River in Muncie for drinking water exceeds state and federal regulations after the water company treats it, the river itself is known for being trash-ridden. The Muncie area community has sponsored a cleanup of the White River for nine years now. In the past eight years, the White River Cleanup website said, volunteers have cleared more than 85,000 pounds of trash and more than 600 tires from the river. Each year roughly 400 volunteers volunteer for the project. Many of the volunteers are Ball State students. Officials at the university urge students to get involved to raise awareness about water issues and to inform them about sanitation issues. According to the National Resources Defense Council, dirty water is the world’s biggest health risk and it consistently threatens quality of life and municipal health in the United States. When water from rain and snow slides off buildings and roads into the rivers, it can pick up poisonous chemicals, dirt, waste and disease-carrying bacteria. Many of Indiana’s water reserves lack essential protections, making them susceptible to contamination from factory farms, industrial plants and activities like fracking. The Muncie Wastewater Treatment Plant handles the run-off and wastewater from the city of Muncie, Ball State and some surrounding areas, including Selma and Royerton. Polluted water flows into this plant for treatment 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. The Muncie Wastewater Treatment Plant pumps 16.5 million gallons of treated water into the White River every day. The plant does not treat the water from the White River, but rather ensures the water they put into it is cleaner than necessary for those downstream. Water flows through sewage systems under Muncie’s roads that run into the treatment pipes at the wastewater treatment plant. The plant’s mechanics filter the sewage water into three separate treatment processes before it is allowed to flow into the White River. Muncie and other cities about the same size use a treatment process called activated sludge. The polluted water goes through primary, secondary and tertiary treatments. In the primary stage, water is filtered through screens and is strained to remove any debris such as plastic, latex, sticks and any inorganic grit. After this, what is left in the water is very fine, biological organic waste. To treat the water during the second stage, the facility introduces microorganisms. The wastewater

treatment plant’s staff members put microscopic organisms of various kinds in an aerated tank, and these organisms continue to clean the water. They feed on the waste in the water, reproduce and then clump together. Then, in a different section of the tank, it settles out. The microorganisms essentially clean the water. By the end of secondary stage the water is treated wastewater and is mostly clean and clear, especially to the naked eye. Some treatment plants, especially smaller ones, stop here, because the water is clean enough to meet state and federal regulations at this point. Instead, the facility in Muncie goes one step further, and uses a third final treatment. This stage is optional, but government leaders over the years have opted for Muncie to take this extra step. During the third step, the water goes through basins containing multiple types of sand and gravel. When the water flows through these basins, it is given one final polish before it is released out into the public river. John Barlow, superintendent of Muncie’s Wastewater Treatment Plant, said a glass of the treated wastewater would be virtually impossible to distinguish from a glass of tap water by the time it leaves the facility. Each year, Muncie water and wastewater must meet certain state and federal regulations, and Barlow said Muncie has exceeded those standards each year for more than 30 years. From April through November, the water is also disinfected for E. coli. The treatment center uses chlorine to disinfect water and sulfur dioxide to remove the chlorine from spreading into the river water. During a normal flow day, the water treatment process takes about eight hours. However, if there is a storm or a lot of snow melting and flowing into sewage drains, the water will move through the system more quickly, making the process go even faster. Because the White River is constantly moving, the water put out by the facility is only a fraction of what is takes to fill the river as it flows downstream. Barlow said his goal is to keep the water in the White River as clean or cleaner than it was before, and for the past 30 years, the water has always been above federal and state regulations.

MARNON:
KEVIN MARNON, JUNIOR PITCHER
| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 He said he didn’t have to wait long for a call from Ball State head coach Rich Maloney. “Coach Maloney called me within a couple of hours of the team being disbanded,” Marnon said. “Within a couple of days, I was on a flight out here for a visit.” It wasn’t Marnon’s first time transferring — he spent his freshman and sophomore seasons at East Tennessee State University. Marnon left Akron without ever appearing on the mound for the Zips. NCAA transfer rules forced him to sit out the 2015 season, but he was eligible to play immediately at Ball State because his previous program no longer existed. Instead of playing, said former Akron head coach Rick Rembielak, Marnon would “start” in the Zips’ scrimmages on Thursdays so the lineup would be able to face off against live pitching before their weekend series. Rembielak is no longer a member of the collegiate coaching ranks. Instead, he is an assistant athletic director and baseball coach at Perry High School in Ohio. Still, he said he keeps track of his former players whenever he gets the chance. “There’s always that time you jump on the computer and you just start looking up the guys and see how everyone’s doing,” Rembielak said. “I think I saw [Marnon] when he was down at LSU and he was pitching against our No. 1 pitcher at the time, our Friday Night guy, Johnny Valek.” Marnon won his start against Louisiana State, which is ranked seventh in the country in the USA Today Coaches Poll. He struck
• Record - 4-3 • Starts - 10 (1st MAC) • ERA - 3.59 • Innings pitched - 52.2 • Strikeouts - 35 • Walks - 18
out three in 5.2 innings and allowed just one run. On the season, Marnon is 4-3 in 10 starts with a 3.59 ERA. Maloney said Marnon has stepped up since his first opportunity to shine. “He’s been in everyone else’s shadow,” Maloney said. “And then he comes to another program, and right from the get-go he showed us what he could do. We were all so happy because we struggled on the mound last year.” Ball State has also played against seven of Marnon’s former teammates — Valek at LSU, Dayton pitchers Zach Beaver and Masashi Sakamoto, Kent State infielder Dom Iero and outfielder Mason Mamarella, Utah pitcher Josh Lapiana and Valparaiso pitcher Alex Dirienzo. Marnon said he keeps in touch with his former teammates and also fits in well with the Cardinals. “I was really close with a lot of those guys,” he said. “But coming [to Ball State], it was a very easy transition. They all accepted me with open arms, and it’s a great group of guys here.” Maloney said the 6-foot, 7 lefty from Sterling Heights, Mich., has a personality that matches his towering frame. “He’s a big dude with a powerful personality,” Maloney said. “He carries himself well, he knows how to compete and he’s an East Sider from Michigan. That’s where I’m from. … Us East Siders, we were raised as blue-collar, and that is an asset. Everybody accepts

his toughness, his grit.” Rembielak said he wasn’t surprised to hear Marnon was fitting in well with his new teammates. “The one thing the guys have in common is baseball, and it does not take long to make friends,” he said. “It all comes down to the personality of the player, and [Marnon’s] an easy guy to like. … It wouldn’t matter where he would go, I could see him fitting in anywhere.” Marnon’s former teammates are spread across different schools now — Rembielak said only three of the 33 players on Akron’s roster were unable to

a place to play baseball to finish their career.” Still, he said Marnon found a great fit in the short timespan. “He’s going to a championship-caliber program, too,” he said. “It’s not like he’s going to a program that’s in a rebuild — he’s going to get developed, and he’s in a winning culture. It’s a great situation for him.” Marnon’s next start will be at 1 p.m. Saturday when the Cardinals host the Bowling Green. He currently leads the MAC with 10 starts — just not with the school he thought he’d be playing for back in July.

Football prepares for Spring Game Scrimmage will be team’s 1st contest under Mike Neu
|
RYAN FLANERY GENERAL REPORTER @Flanery_13
Ball State football will take the field in a game situation for the first time since Nov. 24, 2015. The 14 spring practices leading up have allowed head coach Mike Neu and his staff to implement offensive and defensive schemes in preparation for the Spring Game. Neu is looking forward to seeing which of his players can handle the game-like situation on Saturday. “For us as a new staff, spring practice gives us a chance to get to know our players and to see who is making plays,” Neu said. “Here at the end, we get into a game type of environment
a lot of times; you want to see who can respond when the lights are bright.” This year’s format will implement a four-quarter game with a running clock. There will also be gamelike competitions in between quarters to keep the up-tempo atmosphere Neu created this spring. A new coaching staff brings new offensive and defensive schemes for the players to learn as it wraps up its spring schedule. “I have been very impressed with their overall knowledge,” Neu said. “The players have been willing to embrace the change. You can tell they have been doing a great job of studying the information we have been giving them.” Saturday’s scrimmage will be the players’ first real chance to show what they learned throughout the spring. “I am looking forward to just getting a chance to play
instead of installing stuff,” sophomore quarterback Riley Neal said. “It is nice to just be football players and get out and play.” It is not always easy to learn a new system, but the team is buying in and Neu is happy with what he sees from his team. Ball State is set to return six starters on the offensive and nine of the defensive side of the ball. The seniors are key for the coaching
cerning the position. Miller, however, is running the team for the rest of the spring season until the administration picks a new coach. “If I get hired as head coach, that will be fantastic, and I will look forward to it,” Miller said. Miller was one of the coaches selected to receive the 2016 American Volleyball Coaches Association Thirty Under 30 Award and was one of only 12 NCAA Division I coaches to win the award this year. Just 29 years old, Miller has been coaching women’s volleyball at Ball State for six years now. Ball State is 119-68 with Miller on the coaching staff
