The Daily News SEXUAL ASSAULT
Reporting remains low, despite efforts Sexual assault continues to go unreported due to stigmatization Allie Kirkman Assistant News Editor *Editor’s note: Nicole’s last name has been withheld to protect her identity.
Nicole* knew him before and they both lived in the same residence hall at Southern Illinois University, where she attended undergrad. “We were talking and my roommate got called out into the hallway. That’s when he started doing things to me — doing things that I wasn’t comfortable with, but he was not reacting to me saying ‘No, stop,’” Nicole said.
“
I had a hard time believing that bad things could happen to good people, so I told myself that if I didn’t think about it, it didn’t happen.” — Nicole, sexual assault survivor
He sexually assaulted her. Nicole never reported it. The fear no one would believe her kept her quiet. “I had a hard time believing that bad things could happen to good people, so I told myself that if I didn’t think about it, it didn’t happen,” she said. “I repressed it for about three years.” It wasn’t until the summer between her first and second year of graduate school at the University of North Dakota when Nicole watched a Title IX presentation that she realized she needed to talk about it. “Watching that training … it just brought it all back and I knew it was time for me to finally tell someone,” she said. “It wasn’t fair for me to not allow myself to move past it.” The first person she told was a close friend she trusted. Second, her mom. Speaking out took a heavy weight off her chest. “I was at a point where I didn’t necessarily feel anymore as though I should be ashamed ... I was mad,” Nicole said. “But I was also still scared of what others might think of me because society shapes it to fall back on the victim. It took a while for me to remind myself it wasn’t my fault and that it is never the victim’s fault.”
NON-CONCRETE REPORTING
One in five women and one in 16 men are sexually assaulted while in college, according to a 2015 report by the National Sexual Violence Resource Center.

HOME COURT No. 13 Ball State to take on No. 7 Lewis, No. 10 Loyola-Chicago Hendrix Magley Men’s Volleyball Reporter
No. 13 Ball State men’s volleyball can clinch a top-four seed in the Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association tournament this weekend, and one scenario is a little more straightforward than the others — just win.
If the Cardinals beat No. 7 Lewis on Thursday and No. 10 Loyola-Chicago on Saturday, the Cardinals (17-8, 8-6 MIVA) would clinch a semifinal tournament match at Worthen Arena on April 15. “I feel that we’re pretty evenly matched against both Lewis and Loyola,” Ball State head coach Joel Walton said. “Whoever shows more team effort and some exceptional individual efforts will be the team that comes out on top.” Many of the Cardinals are familiar with members of both the Flyers and the Ramblers — 10 of Ball State’s 19 players are from Illinois, the home of both Lewis and Loyola. “We all know the majority of those guys so it’s going to be a real personal night, at least for me,” freshman outside attacker
Blake Reardon said. “We just have to keep our energy up and our eye on the prize.” In the first match this season, the Flyers (20-6, 11-3 MIVA) defeated the Cardinals 3-1 in Romeoville, Illinois. Redshirt sophomore opposite Mitch Perinar, a left-handed server, gave the Cardinals trouble as he finished with 15 kills and also three service aces.

Ball State Dining to host live tutorials from 5 professionals Thursday Mariah Thatch Daily News Reporter Have you ever wondered what it takes to make restaurant-quality food in your own home? Cooking Live! is an opportunity for Ball State Dining’s chefs to provide a live tutorial on how to execute culinary techniques at home. Cooking Live! Land & Sea is at 6:30 p.m. Thursday in the Alumni Center. Chef Allen White of dining said the goal of the
Cooking Live! shows is to demonstrate a way to make these dishes at home. “You want guests to be inspired to try new and different foods — not just when they’re ordering in a restaurant, but when they’re cooking for friends or family,” he said. White said he enjoys teaching people how to put together tasty dishes. “It’s all about the food, and sharing those secrets that people think they can’t make at home,” he said. “Then when they see it made for them, they realize it’s really not that hard and they start to enjoy cooking and new and different foods.”

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
Border wall contractors brace for hostile environment The Associated Press SAN DIEGO (AP) — One potential bidder on President Donald Trump's border wall with Mexico wanted to know if authorities would rush to help if workers came under "hostile attack." Another asked if employees can carry firearms in states with strict gun control laws and if the government would indemnify them for using deadly force. With bids due Tuesday on the first design contracts, interested companies are preparing for the worst if they get the potentially lucrative job. A U.S. official with knowledge of the plans who spoke on condition of anonymity because the details haven't been made public said four to 10 bidders are expected to be chosen to build prototypes. They will be constructed on a roughly quarter-mile (400-meter) strip of federally owned land in San Diego within 120 feet (37 meters) of the border, though a final decision has not been made on the precise spot, the official said. The government anticipates spending $200,000 to $500,000 on each prototype. The process for bids and prototypes are preliminary steps for a project that will face deep resistance in Congress and beyond. Trump repeatedly said during the campaign that Mexico would pay for the wall, but he has since requested that Congress approve billions of dollars in U.S. taxpayer funds. Democrats vow to oppose any wall funding, and many Republicans are also wary of his plans for a massive brick-and-mortar barrier.

The Border Patrol and local police would establish a buffer zone around the construction site if necessary, the U.S. official said. The San Diego police and sheriff's departments said Monday they will respect constitutional rights to free speech and assembly for any peaceful, law-abiding protesters. Enrique Morones, executive director of Border Angels, said his group plans to protest. "There will be a lot of different activity — protests, prayer vigils — on both sides of the wall," said Morones, whose immigrant advocacy group is based in San Diego. "We pray and hope that they're peaceful."

Community diversity celebrated Community diversity celebrated with events hosted by AASA, Spectrum Andrew Smith & Mary Freda Daily News Reporters The Asian American Student Association and Spectrum are both hosting their week of events to celebrate community diversity. AASA’s “I Am Visible” week of events kicked off Friday and continues through the rest of the week. The Cultural Festival brings student members together to celebrate Asian culture and the Ball State community with food and games. Henry Huynh, AASA president, said the week of events was started to celebrate Asian and Asian-American heritage for a week. “Anyone can join AASA,” Huynh said. “We do not discriminate and are very welcoming. You do not have to be Asian or of Asian descent to join.” False lashes, contour and hairspray kicked off Spectrum’s Spring Week 2017. On Saturday, Spectrum hosted Drag Show in Oz. It collected donations for On the Mark, For the City, a community beautification initiative by We’re Trying Collective. The project design is set to be revealed on May 4 at First Thursday. Typically, the proceeds from Spectrum’s drag shows are donated to a national nonprofit, but after working with We’re Trying Collective and seeing the similarity between their mission statements, Spectrum president Mariann Fant saw an opportunity for a collaboration. “I thought it would be really cool to have a local nonprofit,” Fant said. “I thought that it would be really cool and people would connect with that because it’s local.” Spectrum raised $1,822 for the mural project.

Freshman Connections discontinued Program included required Common Reader, essay; other components will stay
Evan Hatfield Daily News Reporter
Rebecca Kizer // DN File
Incoming freshmen sit in the L.A. Pittenger Student Center Ballroom with the rest of their orientation group, listening to their final presentation for the day. The Freshman Connections program is gone after a decision from the Office of the Provost to move financial support toward individual departmental programs.
SEXUAL ASSAULT Continued from page 1
Ninety-one percent of the victims of rape and sexual assault in the U.S. are female and 9 percent are male. In eight out of 10 cases of rape, the victim knew the person who assaulted them. But for men, it’s often a misconception and stereotype that they can’t be raped, said Step In. Speak Up. president Corinne Lankwicz. “A lot of male survivors don’t report, not because they are not informed, but because they are embarrassed,” Lankwicz said. “They feel like they are supposed to have this strength about themselves, this physical strength, mental strength and be a role model, and when something like that happens, all of that power is taken away and it becomes something that society has pushed onto them.” At Ball State, the 2016 campus security report showed that 68 percent of oncampus assaults happened in residence halls. Nineteen of the 24 on-campus sexual assaults reported in 2015 were in residence halls. However, these statistics may not be entirely accurate. Numbers aren’t always concrete, said Allison Wynbissinger, a victim advocate at Ball State, because sexual assault is a vastly underreported crime. In an academic year, Wynbissinger said the Office of Victim Services serves about 80 students for sexual assault, relationship violence and stalking. Even with underreporting, numbers at Ball State have still been increasing in past years. University Police Department Chief Jim Duckham said the increase in sexual assault reporting at Ball State could be due to educating more students about how to report an incident. “I think the emphasis on education and prevention leads to reporting of incidents that previously may not have been reported,” Duckham said. Duckham wants students to know UPD takes reports of sexual assault seriously. “Our investigators have received advanced training on the best practices for sexual assault investigation and are dedicated to working collectively with our campus community to reduce sexual assaults,” Duckham said. “I do believe that when UPD gets involved in the community and builds relationships, that creates opportunities for people to hopefully trust us, and to tell us when an incident occurs.” RAPE CULTURE For Nicole, now at Ball Sate, and many other survivors, the main reason she didn’t report her assault was the stigmatization that came with it. Rape culture and victim blaming teaches women that they should feel ashamed or feel they deserved their assault. But that’s not the case, as Nicole came to learn. “No one deserves to have that happen to them or be blamed,” Nicole said. “It’s not our fault, but that’s what society tells us — you were too drunk, your skirt was too provocative, your top was too revealing. Why can’t we say, ‘I’m sorry that happened to you. How can I help you?’” When people look at how a victim dresses or use an orgasm or erection as “validation,” it can perpetuate the misconception that people are “asking for it.” That’s why understanding consent is important, Lankwicz said. It can start in childhood, when parents force their kids to give family members hugs and kisses, even if they may not want to, she said. “If you are teaching your children
The Freshman Connections program is gone after a decision from the Office of the Provost to move financial support toward individual departmental programs. Sociology professor Melinda Messineo, who was involved with the program since 1999 and served as its director since 2008, had no say in the decision. “The university is hoping to transfer funds more directly to departments so that students can connect with majors quickly,” Messineo said in an email. The funds the program used will now support block grants of up to $6,000 for departments to run programming, Messineo said. The Freshman Connections program sponsored a yearly Freshman Common Reader and an essay, as well as a visit by the author of the year’s Common Reader. Faculty teaching fall classes were allowed to integrate the book into their classes. English assistant professor William Holbrook, who has had his English 104 students write proposals for the reader, was disappointed in the decision to eliminate the program.
“The price tag on it was very high, but I thought the results were also very high,” Holbrook said. Holbrook cited “the marvelous experience” that came out of last year’s book, Anand Giridharadas’s “The True American.” “The freshmen that I’ve talked to who both read the book and went to the convocation were extremely pleased with how it all came out,” Holbrook said. “To have that experience and then have a dismissal of the Freshman Reader within months of that is very disheartening.” Holbrook also took issue with the manner in which the decision was made. “The amount of work that [Messineo] has done on that program is incredible for one person,” Holbrook said. “Not having her be involved at all in the decision to cut it out is unthinkable.” Messineo took a more optimistic approach to the program’s end. “There is a sense of loss to see something you care about ending, but I am hopeful to see what departments will put together,” Messineo said. Though most of the program has been terminated, the Commuter Ambassador program, which fell under the Freshman Connections umbrella, will remain, as will the Living Learning Communities.

IF SOMEONE YOU KNOW IS A VICTIM OF SEXUAL ASSAULT, HERE IS WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP: • Listen to them non-judgmentally, and don’t pressure them to share anything they are not ready to. • Communicate to them acceptance and compassion. • If they want medical attention, or to make a report, you can offer to help them get there — but don’t tell them they have to go, this is completely their choice. • Encourage them to go to counseling; let them know it is available to them for free and is a confidential resource. • Let them have control over their decisions. • Create a safe, accepting environment where your friend can talk when s/he is ready. • Take care of your own needs. Doing so will help your friend do the same. • Don’t blame the survivor, and don’t ask a lot of “why” questions, which can feel blaming. • Don’t trivialize their experience by joking about it. • Don’t “take charge” of their healing process by telling them what to do. • Advice provided by Ashley Boester-Dean, Counseling Center therapist and group coordinator.
at a young age that ‘if I tell you to do something, you have to do it,’ that’s where it starts,” Lankwicz said. “Same thing with rape and sexual assault ... It will start with things like sex jokes, or party themes like ‘office hoes and CEOs,’ derogatory things like that, or just making sexual comments about another person. It starts on that spectrum and just continues down the line until it gets out of hand and becomes physical.” WHAT DOES BALL STATE OFFER? Ball State offers many resources to help sexual assault survivors, like Step In. Speak Up., OVS’ Peer Victim Advocate Team, the STOP team and Rape Aggression Defense System Classes. The Counseling Center also offers Journey to Wholeness, a process-oriented therapy group for survivors of sexual assault. Journey to Wholeness allows survivors of sexual trauma to explore the meaning of their experiences and learn effective ways of coping, said Ashley BoesterDean, Counseling Center therapist and group coordinator. “My goal in facilitating the group is to help survivors know that they are not alone, that someone else out there can understand and empathize with their experiences, and for them to feel supported and cared for by the group,” Boester-Dean said. Survivors can meet with group facilitators before joining to talk about what they might get out of the group and answer any questions they might have. But while the group can be beneficial, it isn’t the only option for survivors, Boester-Dean said. “Sometimes joining the group is just one piece of their treatment,” she said. “Sometimes a survivor is just not ready to join a group setting, or maybe wants to do some individual counseling instead, and that is OK.” The group is closed for the remainder of the semester, but Boester-Dean encouraged anyone interested in joining the group for next year to contact the Counseling Center. Students and survivors can also get involved on campus to help promote sexual assault

awareness and education during April’s sexual assault awareness month. Starting April 17, the Counseling Center and other departments and organizations across campus will host outreach events. “We are all working hard to challenge and change the culture around sexual assault, like many other universities across the nation,” Boester-Dean said. “We want to foster a campus climate of respect and dignity for all members of the Ball State University community.” The most important thing to do is to spread education on how to be an effective bystander, know what consent is and know what they can do to
try to end sexual assault, Nicole said.
“Don’t turn a blind eye to it,” Nicole
said. “People continue to say that rape culture does not exist, but it does. It’s
not going to get better until you make
that decision to take that step towards helping end it.”

GLASS CASTLE
BALL STATE'S VERY OWN Art guild gives students professional experience Alexandra Smith Theater Reporter If you make the trek to the Marilyn K. Glick Center for Glass, you’ll be greeted by elaborate art pieces and an open view into the hot shop, where each piece is made. The Glick Center is home to the Glass Guild, a group of students who make glass artwork for class — and sometimes for selling. Veronica DeBone is the president of the guild. The junior with a glass concentration joined the guild during her freshman year after hearing about the trips that were offered. “I’ve been to Poland and the Czech

Republic, and the guild was able to pay for a lot of the cost because of the sales it puts on,” DeBone said. “But I think I spend more time here than anywhere else.” The Glass Guild hosts sales throughout the year in order to raise funds for the organization and gives students a chance to sell their own work. The pumpkin sale is in the fall, usually followed by an ornament sale in the winter or spring, DeBone said. “The guild takes a 15 percent cut of what the student makes, but every show charges so it gives students a minor taste of what it’s like to sell work,” she said. The pumpkin sale is what brings in the most money. The last sale was supposed to run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., but all the pumpkins were sold out within an hour, DeBone said.
Students of all majors can join the guild, but DeBone said they like for students to have taken an introduction to glass class first. The time students get to work on glass varies. Each student in a glass class gets a three-hour “blow slot” when they can work on class projects, pumpkins or their own personal art to sell. “When I don’t have projects, I practice different techniques,” DeBone said. “Everything that’s extra, if it’s nice enough to sell, I will, but if not I might give it to my family. But all projects get photographed for your portfolio.” Everyone has to work with a partner, so students have to find a time that aligns with someone else. DeBone works with James Lupkin, another junior with a glass concentration.
grandmother and mother, and his love for cooking only grew when he started taking classes. “They are both really good cooks and I learned a lot from them when I was younger. I fell in love with it,” he said. “I always wanted to be a chef, since the 7th grade, taking the foods classes until I went to culinary school.” For the chefs, Cooking Live! is an opportunity to show off their passion to the Ball State community. Those in attendance are able to interact with the chefs after their demonstrations with questions about techniques and flavors the chefs use.
Lupkin said selling with the guild makes him feel like more of a professional artist. “Anything you make for class you can sell,” he said. “You don’t really have that opportunity to sell work and still walk away with that much money anywhere else. It’s an easy way to be a part of the small glass community.” DeBone was the one who convinced Lupkin to join the Glass Guild. “It’s a pretty tight niche,” DeBone said. “It’s its own community and its own culture.” Other guilds for students interested in 3-D art include the Metals Guild and the Ceramics Guild.

FAMILY, ROUTINE POWER BALL STATE PITCHER CAROLYN WILMES Evansville native attributes success to her ability to stay focused on mound Kara Biernat Softball Reporter Junior right-handed pitcher Carolyn Wilmes runs her toe through the dirt behind the pitcher's circle before Ball State softball games. “I pitch best when I’m relaxed,” Wilmes said. “Before every inning, I say a prayer and I write the number into the ground behind the circle. I started doing this at the beginning of the season when I was told how important the whole routine thing is when keeping calm on the mound.” Wilmes has a 2.70 ERA in her last 10 games, going 7-2 over that stretch with 44 strikeouts. She attributes her success to her ability to stay focused on the mound. She also has a support system from her hometown Evansville, Indiana, behind her. “My dad just retired this past summer,” Wilmes said. “He’s an accountant, so he never really could come to a lot of my games over the past two years. However, this year, he has literally driven to every single tournament. He drove to Louisiana, Arizona and Florida. He was barely at our house for like a month.” Along with her dad, Jeff, who put 8,000 miles on his car in the past month to make it to every game and her mother Laurie’s support, Carolyn said her three brothers are responsible for getting her softball career started.

“Perinar isn’t typically their best server but we’ve struggled with him in the past,” Walton said. “You have to be able to do a good job against him because once he gets hot, he gives a lot of energy to their team.” Lewis is hitting .312 for the season and has been led offensively by Perinar and redshirt freshman outside hitter Ryan Coenen, who led the Flyers with 21 kills in the first match against Ball State. “Any time your team is hitting over
“My mom has also obviously been there whenever she can,” Wilmes said. “I also have three brothers, who are the main reason why I play. I always wanted to be competitive with them when they were playing baseball.” Going back to her time at Mater Dei High School in Evansville, Carolyn Wilmes is used to pitching under the pressure of a fan base. “One of my favorite memories was her junior year of high school when we played in regionals,” Laurie Wilmes said. “She comes from a very small Catholic high school with only 500 students to make for a very small high school ball field. Practically the whole school was there. The support she had for that game just about brought tears to her eyes when she saw how many people were there. She just loves the support.” Head coach Megan Ciolli Bartlett sees Wilmes’ spot on her roster as a positive to the organization’s recruiting process. “The Wilmes are just wonderful, hardworking Midwestern people,” Ciolli Bartlett said. “That kid’s values are in the right place and that comes from how her parents raised her in her home environment. The Midwest is such a wonderful recruiting spot for us for that exact reason. When you can get a kid that has the same values, work ethic and talent as our staff, it’s kind of the trifecta of recruiting.” Wilmes was Academic All-MAC in 2016 and entered 2017 ranked 19th in program history with 3.37 strikeouts per
.300 for the season, you’re doing a good job,” Walton said. “They’re able to spread their offense out and it can make them hard to stop.” In the first meeting against the Ramblers (15-10, 8-6 MIVA), the Cardinals lost 3-0 and had their second lowest attack percentage of the season, hitting just .146. Another left-handed server gave Ball State trouble with Loyola — junior Ben Plaisted. He finished with 12 kills and three service aces to lead the Ramblers in that match. “He was just really in tune and played really confident against us,” Walton said.

seven innings. So far this season, she has a 3.51 ERA with 77 strikeouts in 87.2 innings (6.15 per seven innings). “[Carolyn] is a special kid,” Ciolli Bartlett said. “She is an extraordinarily hard worker and just a really positive kid. The best part is that she is really talented and was built to pitch. She continues to get better and better. If she continues to grow with the leaps and bounds since we’ve had her, the sky is the limit.” Staying humble with her achievements this season, Wilmes is
always looking to improve. “My biggest challenge is to stay consistent on the mound,” Wilmes said. “That has been my goal all year, since I had some ups and downs the past two seasons. I want to be consistently successful to where my team can always rely on me.” With her family behind her and her routine set, Wilmes and the Cardinals travel to Athens, Ohio, this weekend to take on Ohio University.
“He took some pretty critical swings at key points in that match where if we’re able to make a play defensively then maybe we win a game or two and it’s a totally different match.” Walton also had high praise for junior middle blocker Jeff Jendryk, who currently has the third highest attack percentage in the MIVA at .434. “He’s an elite middle — he’s not only of the best middle attackers in our conference, but also nationwide,” Walton said. “You have to be able to do a good job against him because he’s someone who can inspire his team and feed them the fire that it takes to compete at their best level.”
While Walton said he wants his team to treat these upcoming two matches like they would any other match, he also wants his team to understand the significance of what’s at stake. “They can’t let the emotion of either night take them over to where they’re uncomfortable or unwilling or unable to play at their best,” Walton said. “Whichever team is able to have guys step on the court and have good performances will be the teams that win this weekend.”
