Hunt said before Gora, he never came back to Ball State for anything. Gora got him hooked into the university and the students, so he had to come back to see what Gora was talking about.

efore coming to Ball State, Lauren Slaven said she was seen as “weird” and “different” from everyone else in school. The now-junior meteorology major would talk, learn and react to things differently than the rest of the “normal” kids. Because these differences weren’t overly apparent, it wasn’t until Slaven was 12 that she was diagnosed with high functioning autism spectrum disorder. One in 68 children in the United States have Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), according to the 2014 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ADDM autism prevalence report. See AUTISM, page 7

A junior meteorology major and vice president of Alliance for Disability Awareness, Lauren Slaven is one of 40 students who has disclosed autism to the disabilities services office. She was diagnosed with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder when she was 12 and received an Individualized Educational Plan that helped her and the special education department identify what she needed and didn’t need throughout school.

BOARD TO PICK ChirpFest brings acts from LA, Texas SEARCH FIRM Founders of festival to graduate in May, ON APRIL 15 passes down event Trustees won’t interview company that brought in last 2 presidents

ROBBY GENERAL SPORTS EDITOR sports@bsu.edu

The search firm that brought Ball State its previous two presidents will not be interviewed by the Board of Trustees for the upcoming search. Assistant Secretary and Trustee Matt Momper is leading the search committee for the new president. He said the board selected its top four options of search firms for interviews. On Wednesday, the board interviewed R. William Funk and Associates and Witt/Kieffer. It will follow up with interviews with Parker Executive Search and AGB Search Monday. The board will announce who it will use as a search firm on April 15 at its meeting, but Momper said there is no timeline set in place to select a new president.

Last September, ChirpFest closed down Dill Street for one night of local EDM entertainment. After a year of planning and constant work, more than 3,000 people attended. ChirpFest is again closing down Dill Street, but will feature bigger acts and more production, featuring four large LED screens. From 7 p.m. today until 2 a.m. tomorrow, ChirpFest will feature 13 acts performing in the street in the Village, four more than September’s show.

able online and at the event, costing $10. Acts are coming in from as far away as Los Angeles and Texas. But organizer Chris Cammack said there is still an effort to make sure there is still a local connection, such

as DJ GNO. The festival is still organized by the two Ball State students who originally came up with it, Darius Norwood and Chris Cammack, both of whom will be graduating in May. Though they will no longer

be students, they hope ChirpFest will continue with the team of eight students who have been helping organize the event, which Norwood describes as “a family that will be there to help you out.” They have a balanced approach to the duties of organizing a festival. “[Our management approach] is based off of our strengths,” Norwood said. “[Cammack] does great with execution. I’m more of the strategist, figuring out how we get to where we need to go. And I just create the guidelines, he’ll learn them and he just executes them.” ChirpFest is determined to give back to the community. ChirpFest was originally conceived by Cammack and Norwood as a way to connect the Muncie and Ball State communities, bridging the “Town and Gown” divide. THE PULSE OF BALL STATE

On April 5, 1994, Kurt Cobain committed suicide, leaving behind an everlasting musical legacy. The Nirvana frontman is iconic for defining grunge rock in the early ’90s and molding the modern rock scene decades later. Cobain spoke his mind boldly, always going against the grain in more ways than just his music. Even though he hated being a spokesman for his generation through Nirvana’s mainstream success, his soul, songwriting grace and unique presence brought authenticity in a pop world filled with pretenders and opportunists. In honor of this invaluable artist, I’d like to pay tribute to his too-brief life and career through the medium in which he’s inspired me most: the individuality he carelessly flaunted with his clothes. 1. Oh, that ratty, olive green cardigan. Sold in 2015 at a Los Angeles auction, the discolored, stained and burn-holed sweater went for $137,500. He sported it while performing with Nirvana during a taping for MTV’s “Unplugged” in New York City. Paired with an easy grunge tee, button-up shirt and loose jeans, the classic mohair cardigan feeds my envy of Cobain’s A+ layering technique. 2. MTV Awards red carpet attire done right. Ripped

jeans, a striped shirt and sneakers never looked so good. It’s not about what you wear, but how you wear it. I never thought laziness could be so glamorous. 3. Not only a grunge rocker, Cobain was also an impactful feminist and ally of the LGBTQ community. Published in the liner notes of “In Utero,” the last album Nirvana ever released, it says, “If you’re a sexist, racist, homophobe, or basically an a**hole, don’t buy this CD. I don’t care if you like me, I hate you.” The band was not going to stand for bigotry. Next to this statement is a picture of him that gives me that feminist feel — the thick belt, white tee, blue jeans and ever-present olive cardigan hit all the right marks. 4. Polo neck, leather jacket — all things grunge. This iconic look is not only plastered on my wall, but its swoon-worthy effects have me wishing he’d lend me his jacket on a cold evening walk home. Mastering each ’90s era staple and nailing it, Cobain rocks the classic piece that’s still a favorable pick today and, in my opinion, always will be. To many who weren’t touched by his music, he will be dismissed as another rock ’n’ roll stereotype, but he was so much more. Twenty-two

The process of getting acts to Emens Auditorium spends about $300,000 per year for shows

REAGAN ALLEN GENERAL REPORTER rlallen@bsu.edu

The house lights go down as the stage lights come up, and the hundreds of people crowding the room begin to cheer. Screams of obsession and excitement fill the air as a figure slowly makes their way to stage. The band, still in the shadows, breaks the cheers with the first chords, and the next few hours drift away as the music takes over the room and everyone in it. In order for these few worry-free hours of nothing but music and excitement to happen, lots of planning and communication must first take place. Robert Myers, director of John R. Emens Auditorium, is in charge of finding and booking entertainers to come to campus, and that decision in shaped largely on what students want to see. “Students often ask for well-known concert artists. They look at other campuses and they say

that it’d be nice if we could have a big-named concert,” Myers said. “We try to meet those expectations.” Trying to find an artist can be tricky to do. Myers said not every artist is always available, so they have to look at who’s touring and connect with the artist’s agents. Since artists don’t work directly with venues, they have agents who contact and book their shows. Myers works with those agencies to bring big names to campus. “Events can occur in three ways,” Myers said. “The university can sign a contract to bring a speaker or artist here. Another entity can contract with an artist and rent facilities, and there can be some situations where we might share in that and partner to make things happen.” The price is different for each artist too. For artists like Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, who performed at Emens on Feb. 3, the university could pay anywhere from $75,000 to $100,000 to have them perform on campus. In the case of John Mellencamp, an outside promoter asked to use the facility. “So this spring, April 12,

John R. Emens Auditorium pays different prices for different acts to come to campus. Overall, it spends about $300,000 a year in contracts for different shows. For Macklemore and Ryan Lewis on Feb. 3, the university would have paid anywhere between $75,000 to $100,000 for them to perform.

John Mellencamp is coming, and the university is not paying for that. We’re actually getting paid [so they can] use the auditorium,” Myers said. For the shows the university must pay for itself, the auditorium has a budget. “Tuition dollars are not used,” Myers said. “Some comes from the auditorium budget, some of it is designated student fee dollars, incomes of dollars that are used for athletics and the Student Center programming dollars that are in the university budget.” Myers said the auditorium spends about $300,000 a year in contracts for different shows. Even though it may cost

Darius Norwood and Chris Cammack are the two students that originally came up with ChirpFest, but they will be graduating in May. There is a team of eight Ball State students that will organize ChirpFest in the future.

Cammack said the first ChirpFest brought business to local restaurants. This year, in partnership with Muncie mayor Dennis Taylor, ChirpFest is hosting a pre-concert event for children with the Unity Center. ChirpFest is also going on tour this year. In an effort to share the experience of ChirpFest with others, the

thousands of dollars to have artists like Macklemore come to campus, Myers understands the importance of having these people perform here. “My goals as a presenter and a facility person is to present many different kinds of music and live arts experiences, things that people can’t otherwise have an opportunity to experience,” he said. Students also appreciate and find the importance in seeing these bands when they visit campus. Nick Mohler, a computer technology major, said it’s good for students to go to performances on campus because it’s a chance to see big artists at a cheaper,

smaller venue. “I want to go to any event that I can that’s affordable,” Mohler said. “[Emens is] big, but it’s nowhere near a stadium level that some of these performers would perform at, so it’s good and more of a personal experience being that close to a performer.” The experience is the most important part of planning these performances. “There’s something about live experience that’s so much different from watching television. There’s a spontaneity,” Myers said. “When you attend a concert event, there will never ever be another moment ... exactly like the one you are at right now.”

Satisfy your craving W

ALISON NUSBAUM GENERAL REPORTER | anusbaum@bsu.edu

hether they’re a local tradition, offer a unique experience or a new twist on a classic you won’t find anywhere else, local establishments add variety to the world of chain restaurants and big box stores. Here are four locally owned shops to cover whatever cravings you may have. 1. Good’s Candy Shop

If you’re planning a trip down to Anderson, Ind., you may want to visit Good’s Candy Shop. Located in a building resembling a gingerbread house, Good’s is the third-largest independent candy store in Indiana and has the largest selection of chocolate and ice cream in the state, said current owner Randy Good. They have chocolates in flavors such as apple pie, maple syrup, strawberry, coffee and cinnamon, as well as caramels, dessert popcorn in thirteen different flavors and milk chocolate-covered potato chips. Good’s only serves super premium ice cream, meaning it is only over 13 percent butterfat — the richest type of ice cream. They offer 35 different flavors plus the new flavor of the week, available in shakes, malts, sundaes and custom ice cream cakes. Good said he has come up with over 350 different flavors to fill the flavor of the week slot. The shop also offers delivery and tours of the facilities. Good comes from a long line of candy shop owners. He decided to open his own shop right in the town his family was from and they are currently still expanding. “It’s more fun to own something than to do something,” he said.

2. Cammack Station

It’s hard to miss Cammack Station in the small community of Cammack, just off of Route 332 in Muncie. The restaurant is located in a renovated old-time gas and service station decorated with retro signs. With a soundtrack of 50s and 60s hits, Cammack Station is a tribute to nostal-

gia, as the current general manager Shane Shafer puts it. “I don’t know what’s better — seeing a smile on a two- or three-year-old kid the first time they really sink their teeth into good ice cream or if you get a whole family together and you watch the grandfathers walk around and show the grandkids the old things they grew up with,” he said. As a destination restaurant, Cammack Station attracts a great diversity of people. Shafer said people of all ages come from all over the state and sometimes from other countries. The ice cream is the exclusive Sundae’s from Indianapolis, a family business that has won multiple award for the city’s best ice cream. Cammack Station has a large selection of flavors, including Peanut Butter Fudge and Dark Chocolate Raspberry Truffle. You can get the ice cream in the restaurant’s own variety of sundaes or build your own. The menu is traditional American fare: burgers, pulled pork, corn dogs, fries, homemade potato salad. They also use fresh meats and produce and prepare all the food in house. In addition to their other options, Cammack Station offers a burger of the month.

3. The Wedge

The Wedge Artisan Grilled Cheese in Yorktown has only been open for a year and a half, but it’s already making a splash with Ball State students. Located in a retro hot dog drive-in right off of Route 32, The Wedge’s menu has 16 variations of grilled cheese. There’s the “The Classic,” a traditional American cheese on Texas Toast. There’s also

the Buffalo Chicken, a sandwich made with cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese and boneless chicken wings on Texas Toast with Ranch or blue cheese dipping sauce. Another variation is the Strawberry Shortcake, a grilled pound cake with strawberry cream cheese and fresh strawberries topped with whipped cream. The restaurant also serves tomato soup and salads. In their first year of operation, The Wedge won best soup, sandwich and best overall in the Taste of Muncie and is looking to repeat its winning streak next month. Steve Wickliffe and his wife decided to open The Wedge after they came across a grilled cheese food truck in Florida. “The experience encouraged us to share our love of grilled cheese with the world,” Wickliffe said. The couple already had a few grilled cheese recipes they then adapted for the menu, and there are an additional 10 grilled cheese sandwiches that are rotated in as the sandwich of the week. Some new flavors they have are “Hot Chick,” featuring jalapeños, and “Dutch Melt,” which features chili butter — a Wedge invention. The Wedge does not offer delivery but does offer carryout.

4. Lowery’s Chocolates

Also down Route 32 is Lowery’s Chocolates. Lowery’s has been in the Muncie area for more than 60 years and offers more than 120 varieties of chocolate treats, including Tiger Paws, Polar Claws, peanut butter “smoothies” and cremes. Their specialty is the Dark

Secrets: a one-of-a-kind crème surrounded by a rich dark chocolate. The recipe for the treat has been a secret for 65 years. Lowery’s gets its chocolate from Blomers in Chicago, a company that processes cocoa beans in the U.S., but they do make their own centers and toffees and roast their own nuts in house, as well as hand-dip all the chocolate treats. Lowery’s was started on Main Street in Muncie in 1941. Dee Lowery learned the art of making chocolates and opened the store in her family’s basement, which had no air conditioning, right around the beginning of World War II. She had to persuade neighbors to give her their sugar rations so she could make the candy. The business nonetheless succeeded and in 1964, Don Brown, a cousin of Lowery’s, bought the business and it moved to its current location. Lowery’s has since expanded to include the house next to it. In 1974, current owner Vicky Brown, Don Brown’s daughter, took over Lowery’s, taking the business into its third generation. According to the Family Business Institute, only about 30 percent of family businesses survive into the second generation. Twelve percent make it into the third generation, and only about 3 percent of all family businesses operate into the fourth generation or beyond. “It can be hard to work with family sometimes,” Vicky said. But the excellent sweets and the perks of an annual 3-month vacation, when Lowery’s is closed in the summer, certainly make it worth it, she said.

An unlikely friendship Trey Moses befriends Riley kid Mickey Deputy after Dance Marathon

ELIZABETH WYMAN VOLLEYBALL REPORTER @heavens_2betsy

Mickey Deputy waited with anticipation on a Tuesday night as her mother, Jenny Deputy, told her to get in the car. “We’re going to McDonald’s,” her mother told her. With it being 9:30 p.m., Mickey was confused by her mother’s request. But she followed along anyway. Mickey changed out of her pajamas and slipped into a blue and green dress, complemented by a sunflower bow, and sat at a table at the McDonald’s in Franklin, Ind. As someone came around Seeing the corner, she heard a deep voice say, “Hi, Mickey.” She that I really turned and grinned, her smile revealing a combination touch bewilderment and Mickey and of excitement as Ball State basketball forward Trey all of their Moses walked in. hearts and “The smile on his face was make them as big as hers, that’s what I ” Jenny said. happy, that’s loved, Moses, a freshman out of Louisville, Ky., was on his something home on March 8 when that makes way he decided to surprise his new friend, Mickey. me happy. This past weekend, Mickey competed in the TREY MOSES, local circuit of the Miss Ball State basketball player America Pageant and won the Spirit Award, as voted on by the contestants. Moses was there supporting her, a testament to their friendship and his passion for helping children with special needs.

MOSES’ PASSION

If you look at Moses’ Instagram, it is filled with posts of him and the friends he’s made. His bio reads “#TeamDownSyndrome.” Moses is not just a basketball player, but also a special education major on a mission to change the world. “I have a real passion for those who have Down syndrome,” Moses said. But Moses’ passion is transforming the lives of those with special needs everywhere. Moses said he first knew he wanted to teach special education when he was a freshman in high school. A classmate, Corey, who has special needs, was a huge high school basketball fan and befriended Moses. He also participated in Unified Basketball, a Special Olympics program where athletes play sports with those with special needs. That is where Moses met Blake, another player in the league. “Both of them just became like my brothers, and I knew I just wanted to do special education,” Moses said. Moses gained notoriety after photos surfaced of him asking Ellie, a girl with Down syndrome he met during peer tutoring, to his high school prom. He asked her in front of their whole gym class by holding a sign with Taylor Swift lyrics written on it. Moses tweeted pictures of the prom proposal, and received a message from a woman saying she had two pit pass tickets to Taylor Swift’s concert in Louisville. Moses and Ellie went together. The photo went viral. Moses said he was accused of posting the photo just for publicity, but that wasn’t the case. “Something positive came out of it,” Moses said. “It was not only making her happy because of prom, but you

don’t see a lot of kids with disabilities get the attention that she got. If they can be looked at as not a different person but just as regular person, that’s my main goal.” Moses, who came to Ball State primarily for the special education program, has worked with special needs children through many organizations. He has been involved with the Best Buddies program in both high school and college. He attended his first Ball State University Dance Marathon in February, and that’s where he met Mickey Deputy.

MICKEY’S JOURNEY

Mickey Deputy is a senior at Franklin Community High School. The singing, dancing and pageant-loving girl is wildly popular on Ball State’s campus for her eight-straight BSUDM appearances. Every year, students bombard Mickey for pictures and hugs after she shares her story. She has Down syndrome and has been a Riley kid since she was a baby. At 10 months old, Mickey was brought to Riley Hospital to fix three holes in her heart. At 7 years old, she was sent to Riley after being diagnosed with Leukemia. After 26 months of primarily outpatient treatment, Mickey was cancer-free. “They treat the patients but they also treat the whole family,” Mickey said. Mickey is passionate about Dance Marathon. Her family travels around Indiana to various colleges and high schools sharing their Riley story. “I love Dance Marathon because Dance Marathon is my life,” Mickey said. Eighteen-year-old Mickey Deputy loves the spotlight. She is an avid pageant contestant and travels around the country competing. Her pageant roots began with the Miss Amazing Pageant — a pageant specifically for girls with disabilities — which she’s won twice. Mickey never knew the tall, muscular basketball player who donated $5 to Riley Hospital for Children for her to give him a makeover would become a close friend and fellow advocate for those with disabilities.

A NEW FRIENDSHIP

With Moses standing at 6-foot-9 and Mickey topping out at 4-foot-11, the two could not appear more different. But put them together, and they bond like two friends who have known each other for years. “The two of them cannot be more opposite when you look at them together,” Jenny said. “They could not be more opposite, and yet they get along, and it’s just amazing to see them together.” When Moses introduced himself to Mickey at the Dance Marathon “Riley Kid Makeover” booth, she gave him an all-inclusive makeover, including pink highlights. After posting an Instagram photo of the two at Dance Marathon, Moses coincidentally ran into Mickey’s aunt, who said she saw the picture of them. Moses asked to see Mickey again, and the two have been inseparable ever since. “We normally don’t jump into a friendship like this, where it was because she had her picture taken with someone at the Dance Marathon, because that happens all the time,” Jenny said. “But there’s just something about him very genuine.” Despite living in different cities, Moses and Mickey support each other whenever they can. Mickey has come to Moses’ basketball games, and he has supported her at pageants. Moses recently attended the Miss Hoosier Heartland Pageant March 6. “He’s very humble,” Jenny said. “You can just tell by the way he talks and carries himself. He doesn’t act like he’s a big man on campus.” Since Moses’ freshman basketball season has ended, he’s had additional time to spend with Mickey. Mickey competed in her final pageant of the season in The Sweeps Pageant April 2. Moses was in the audience sporting his “Team Mickey” shirt and cheering her on. Mickey won the Congeniality Spirit Award. “I actually teared up, I was so proud of her,” Moses said.

DYNAMIC DUO

Moses and Mickey may be different, but the two share the same goal of changing the stigma that comes along with those who have a disability. “Every time I see somebody with a special ability, I don’t call them disabilities,” Mickey said. “I call them special abilities.” Mickey graduates high school in May. One day, she hopes to bring the Miss Amazing Pageant to every state. She also hopes to start a Best Buddies program in Nicaragua, where she once went on a mission trip.

Ball State freshman forward Trey Moses and Mickey Deputy met at Ball State’s Dance Marathon at the Riley Kid Makeover booth. Despite the two being in different cities, they have become close friends and support each other any way they can, like attending basketball games or pageants.

Fresh off Ball State’s 21-win season, Moses has high hopes for his basketball and educational future. He plans on becoming a special education teacher for elementary-aged children. “I’m in a great position as far as being a basketball player and doing the stuff I do,” Moses said. “I feel like I’ve raised a lot of awareness for people with disabilities.” Moses continues to speak to groups about the Best Buddies program. He also hopes to someday open up a Down syndrome clinic. “He’s very compassionate and

obviously very invested in the special needs community and wanting to help and empower those with special needs,” Jenny said. Mickey and Moses may not have known each other for long, but the pair shares a special bond. Not just in friendship, but also the desire to make the world a better place. “Seeing that I really touch Mickey and all of their hearts and make them happy, that’s something that makes me happy,” Moses said. “They’ve really changed my life.”

Team could clinch top-2 seed with win Ball State to finish season on road at Lewis, Loyola

ELIZABETH WYMAN VOLLEYBALL REPORTER @Heavens_2betsey

The final weekend of the regular season will determine Ball State men’s volleyball’s final ranking in the Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association. No. 8 Ball State (20-6, 12-2 MIVA) will take on No. 13 Lewis (15-12, 8-6 MIVA) and No. 12 Loyola (17-7, 10-4). The Cardinals need one win to secure a top-2 spot in the MIVA, which will give them home court advantage through the semi-

finals of the conference tournament if they win the first round. Ball State has not held a No. 2 seed in the conference tournament since 2008. Head coach Joel Walton said the Chicago-area teams have typically been tough to play at because of the quality they play at. “We’re fairly evenly matched; it usually gets down to the team that can pass the team that can keep their offense running despite the other team having a familiarity with you and knowing the things that you like to run,” Walton said. While Ball State can afford to lose one match and remain in the same spot, it can potentially end up in a tie for second with Loyola

with two losses. Tiebreakers are then decided by a combination of procedures from number of sets matches went to and the set scores. “It’s a very meaningful thing to have those higher seeds,” Walton said. “We set up the tournament to reward teams for their regular season play for that very reason.” Ball State has already defeated both Lewis and Loyola this season at home. On Feb. 18, the Cardinals escaped a five-set match with a victory, led by junior outside attacker Mike Scannell’s 14-kill performance. The night before, Ball State beat the reigning NCAA champions Loyola in four sets. Freshman libero Adam Wessel tal-

lied a career-high 18 digs in the match. “There is a very significant advantage to us playing in Muncie, being able to sleep in our own beds, having our home crowd behind us,” Walton said. The Cardinals have had trouble getting past the Chicago-area teams in the tournament in past years. The past three seasons, Ball State has lost in the MIVA tournament to the two teams. Walton noted it is important to remember that these Lewis and Loyola teams are very different than the teams they have faced in the past. Both teams returned setters and middles, but have different left-side attackers from their previous season.

“We got to make sure that we’re not looking at the name on the shirt and giving too much credit to the players that we’re facing. We need to make sure that we understand who’s on the other side of the net against us,” Walton said. The Cardinals are currently in second place in the MIVA conference, two games in front of Loyola and four games in front of Lewis. “We’ve had a very good regular season to this point, and we want to finish strong this weekend and get as many rounds as possible in our own gym in the conference tournament,” Walton said. Ball State begins its twomatch road trip at Lewis beginning at 7 p.m. today.

Cardinals host Broncos Ball State to face strong pitcher in weekend series

COLIN GRYLLS ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR sports@bsudailynews.com

When Ball State baseball (18-12, 4-2 MAC) hosts Western Michigan (8-17, 1-2 MAC) this weekend, Cardinal coach Rich Maloney will be facing off against his alma mater. Maloney said former Western Michigan head coach Fred Decker, who retired in 2004 after 20 seasons with the Broncos, was one of his mentors. “I wouldn’t be here [at Ball State] if it wasn’t for my experience at Western,” Maloney said. “Decker, who was the head coach when I played, was like a second dad for me.”

Ball State batters are hitting .295 on the season with 23 home runs in 30 games, but Maloney said they’ll have their hands full with Western Michigan junior left-hander Keegan Akin. “Akin’s arguably the best pitcher in the league, at least up to this point,” Maloney said. “We’re going to have to scrap and claw to find a way to score a few runs.” Akin is 3-2 on the season with a 1.43 ERA and 58 strikeouts in 44 innings pitched. Junior right fielder Alex Call, however, said the Cardinals have had plenty of experience against strong arms. “You can’t psych yourself out. We’ve faced great arms — Drew Rasmussen from Oregon State, Alex Lange from LSU, Jared Poche LSU — I’m missing a few, but traditionally we’ve hit.” Call is the defending Mid-American Conference

West Division Player of the Week and is hitting .420 on the season with a MAC-best 35 runs scored. Maloney said Ball State batters will have to earn their runs because Western Michigan has only committed 11 errors on the season, the best mark in the MAC. “If you don’t make fielding mistakes, you limit the opportunities for the other team to get the big inning,” he said. Still, Western Michigan’s pitching staff has a combined 5.72 ERA while Ball State’s 4.05 staff ERA. The Broncos have also scored just 85 runs in 25 games, while the Cardinals have scored 195 in 30 games played. Friday’s game is scheduled to begin at 3 p.m. at Ball Diamond at First Merchants Ballpark Complex, followed by a pair of 1 p.m. games on Saturday and Sunday.

AUTISM:

| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “My entire life, I had been different; it didn’t just appear,” Slaven said. One of her teachers helped diagnose Slaven’s disability. The teacher had noticed those little differences between her and the other students and encouraged her parents to get her tested so she’d be able to have the right accommodations for middle school and high school. “My parents did, and she was right,” Slaven said. “I’m very grateful for that teacher for knowing things enough to realize that I am not just weird.” ASD is a complex developmental disability. Signs typically appear during early childhood and affect a person’s ability to communicate and interact with others, and is defined by a certain set of behaviors, like difficulty making eye contact or holding a conversation or narrow, intense interests, according to the Autism Society. After her diagnosis, Slaven went through testing and was mainstreamed into a schedule with mainly regular classes. She received an Individualized Educational Plan that helped her and the special education department identify which accommodations she may need throughout school. While Slaven said the IEP and special education department helped her throughout school, the biggest obstacle she faced was getting bullied because of her autism. “A lot of my accommodations ended up stemming toward that because I was bullied so severely that I ended up completing the remainder of my high school online in the computer lab in the special education department,” Slaven said. “I finished my senior year in two weeks, and I graduated early.” Throughout her time within the special education department, Slaven said she felt safe and discovered her passion for helping other students with disabilities. “In high school, I actually ended up doing four years

of cadet teaching in the special education classrooms, both at the high school and K-12 level,” Slaven said. “I really enjoyed it. I understood a lot of what these kids were going through due to my own experiences.” Because she had gone through a lot of self-teaching and advocacy, along with the fact that she hated high school, Slaven said the transition to college was actually an easy one. “I had to do all of this in high school, and I knew what accommodations I needed,” Slaven said. “The transition into classes was great; the professors are great. Ninety-nine percent of them are more than accommodating and willing to work with you. I receive what I need, and if I ever have a problem, I go to disability services and I get that help.” While Slaven didn’t have a difficult transition, it can be hard for others with autism, Larry Markle, director of disability services, said. Because ASD is a spectrum condition, it can affect individuals differently. Currently, there are about 40 students who have disclosed that they have autism to the disabilities services office. “Oftentimes, students with autism may struggle in transitioning to college, with the new levels of independence that comes with being a college student,” Markle said. “Once routines are developed and students become aware of the resources and services available, they do well.” The biggest issue Slaven faced coming to college was becoming comfortable with her disability. “You’re taught to hide it, blend in, conform and be normal,” Slaven said. “It’s hard to get rid of that, especially with most of us who are high-functioning. If it is more obvious, people can be more understanding, that’s just how it is.” Slaven wanted to hide her autism, and she had no intentions of telling anyone about it when she came to Ball State. But that changed after her

first day on campus. She went to the Atrium when it was crowded, and there weren’t any empty seats. She got her lunch and panicked, trying to find somewhere to sit. She found one table that had only one person sitting at it. The student was in a wheelchair, and Slaven figured she would be the least likely person to be mean to her. “I asked if I could sit, and she said yes. I look over, and I noticed she had a T-shirt on that said ADA [Alliance for Disability Awareness] and, wanting to make conversation, I asked what that meant,” Slaven said. “Little did I know, she was the president. She told me all about it and that it was for disability awareness, and I thought that this would be a chance to still do what I like and help people with disabilities.” Since then, the two have become great friends and Slaven is now ADA’s vice president. She is also now comfortable with who she is and her disability. “I realized that these people don’t care what label you have,” Slaven said. “We are all in it because we have some sort of disability or we like people with disabilities.” For the first time in her life, Slaven said she has friends and is involved. “I’m not just hanging out in the special ed room all the time,” Slaven said. “I’m actually making a difference on campus.” The Office of Disability Services can offer accommodations for students, like extended testing time or forms of adaptive technology, Markle said. But autistic students on campus have more than just disability services to help

them. T h e Center for Autism Spectrum Disorder works on ways to minimize the barriers that students have to go through when they transfer to the college level. Evie Simmons-Reed, assistant professor of Applied Behavior Analysis, is a part of the faculty developing program at the Center for Autism Spectrum Disorder. She said they’re looking at the support and services students need to be successful. “While the school is already very great with advocating and providing services to students with disabilities, there is more to be done,” Simmons-Reed said. “We need to really focus on providing support to a diverse spectrum of students and being open to that and de-stigmatizing and educating people about disabilities.” Simmons-Reed said although the month of awareness is important, the spread of awareness and advocacy should be an ongoing thing. “We have this autism month where we all come aware but individuals with autism have it every day,” Simmons-Reed said. “It’s important to create an environment where we minimize challenges and give accommodations and acceptance to students to feel comfortable and successful.” While there are currently no events set for Autism Awareness Month, Slaven said ADA is working on planning something to get students involved and help spread awareness.

The Board of Trustees decided to find a different firm to help with choosing the next president for Ball State. Ball State previously used Baker and Associates. On Wednesday, the board interviewed with two firms, and it will interview two more on Monday.

SEARCH:

“We’re not going to leave any stone unturned. We’re going to be asking a lot of questions,” he said. “It’s very critical for us to interview them and then get the ball rolling, but we’re not going to rush it.” The board did not comment on how much the search firm will cost; last time it cost the board $150,000. Both the board and selected search firm will host open forum meetings April 21 and 22. These meetings will be open to faculty, general staff, students, alumni and community leaders. “They’re going to be able to help us with the open forums, collect all the information from all facets of the university,” Momper said. “I think that’s critical, understanding Ball State.” From those forums and other private meetings, Momper said the search firm will be able to take the information to evaluate and select a pool of candidates. The selected firm will be able to create a profile of Ball State to send out to potential employers. The board will look at the success of each firm individually, particularly at “like-type” universities,

Momper said. While Funk and Associates has never worked with Ball State, it is no stranger to postsecondary education placement in the state of Indiana. The company’s CEO, R. William Funk, has an MBA from Purdue and placed the previous three presidents there. Funk has also had a hand in placements at Indiana University, Indiana State and is currently searching for a replacement for Ivy Tech’s president. John K. Thornburgh, senior partner of Witt/Kieffer, most recently found a president for Towson University in Maryland in December 2015. Towson’s enrollment is around 23,000 students, similar to Ball State’s. Thornburgh also found fellow Mid-American Conference schools — the University of Massachusetts and Bowling Green State University — new presidents. Parker Executive Search found fellow MAC school Eastern Michigan University’s new president in February 2016 and is in the final steps to find Georgia Southern University’s new president. In the past few months, AGB Search has chosen the presidents for places like Marymount California University, the University of North Dakota and Capital University.

Emails may be lost to Microsoft’s ‘clutter’ feature Separate inboxes create issues with communication

REBECCA KIZER ADMINISTRATION REPORTER rjkizer@bsu.edu

A separate inbox on Ball State email accounts called Clutter may be taking some emails out of students’ inboxes. Ball State email accounts by default enable Clutter, a separate inbox that sorts low priority messages. Brandon Campbell, the assistant director of Unified Technology Support, said some students don’t know this feature could affect the messages they receive. According to Microsoft Outlook’s website, Clutter works by analyzing each user’s email habits. Based on past behavior, it should determine messages that might be ignored. These messages are moved to the Clutter folder and can be viewed on the desktop or

“He was the first alum to say, ‘I don’t want to give you money, I want to get involved with your students and I want to participate in an immersive learning program,’” Gora said. “I will never forget the time when he challenged the student teams and said to them, ‘Well, are you talking to each other?’ Because these were teams of students, but the students were all in their disciplinary silos, … and he knew that in the real world, in the business world, it doesn’t work that way. That was a great lesson for students to hear not from a faculty member, but from a man who was running a business.” Hunt said he is thrilled

mobile website, but not on mobile applications. Campbell said it was not the university’s decision to use Clutter, but Microsoft’s. Ball State accounts started the transition into using the feature before the start of the Fall 2015 semester. Campbell said emails should only be moved from a user’s inbox if they had previously ignored messages from the same sender, but also that the feature doesn’t always work that way. Michael Harris, a senior telecommunications major and executive producer for Connections Live, a Ball State television program, said the emails he sends his members often get lost in their Clutter folder. “There’s no rhyme or reason to it, and my emails don’t look like spam,” Harris said. “It just started doing this automatically.” Harris said Ball State’s Tech Center told him that his members must have been triggering a rule for them to be going to Clutter – that his

to have been a part of the team that brought the center together. Hunt, who graduated in 1969, took an auto mechanics class, as well as several others, in the same space the center was built. Hunt told Jim Jones, associate manager of construction management, that he wanted to start hiring Ball State graduates, and the space could be a place that students studied collaboratively and individually. “I didn’t get any mentors in my life until I was probably 35 years old, probably that’s partly why I really enjoy it now. I see such advantage for myself — I get a lot out of it — and I hope an advantage for the students,” Hunt said. “The ability for the students to interact with each other, learn interpersonal skills

students must not be reading their emails. But some students’ emails are being sent to Clutter, even if they do frequently read messages from the same sender. Kelsey Kinley, a junior busi-

Sure, it can be a place they can learn BIM or a scheduling kind of item, but for them to work together with other students, grow and develop, mature as people, that’s what I hope comes out of this more than anything.” Larry Roan, a Ball State alumnus and current employee of Browning Day architecture firm, is the former president of the construction management program’s advisory board. He said he was interested in the construction management program collaborating with the College of Architecture and Planning. “In the real world, architects and construction people work hand-in-

the feature, she realized what had happened. She said at first she thought Clutter could be beneficial by removing messages she didn’t need. After missing information from her adviser, she went looking for ways to disable the feature. Her biggest problem with Clutter was that the inbox isn’t viewable from the email application on her phone. Harris said the same thing. “Eighty percent of the emailing I do is on mobile. I’m not seeing those messages,” Harris said. “So I turned off Clutter, but I can’t really tell all of my members to turn it off, too.” Campbell also has Clutter disabled. He said that recently there has been an increase in the number of faculty and students reporting problems to the Tech Center because of Clutter. “We tell them it’s their personal preference, if they want it on or not. But we provide the instructions on how to disable the feature if that’s what they want,”

HOW TO DISABLE CLUTTER:

1. Go to www.outlook. office.com and sign in with your Ball State username and password 2. Click on the gear icon in the upper right-hand corner on your screen 3. Click on Options 4. On the left-hand navigation bar, click Mail > Automatic replies > Clutter 5. Uncheck “Separate items identified as clutter” 6. Click Save Campbell said. Because of the increase in calls about Clutter, Campbell said Unified Technology Support has been drafting an email to send to all students, faculty and staff with more information about the feature. “It’s a new feature; I’m sure [Microsoft] is still working out some of the kinks,” Campbell said. “But don’t think of it as another junk folder, think of it as a feature that helps you organize your email.”
