Editor’s note: Tom Crawford, co-owner of the new Body Language Tattoo, is the father of Dakota Crawford, a member of the Daily News staff. The owners of a new tattoo shop moving into the Village this summer plan to bring a familyfriendly face to the Muncie tattoo scene. “We’re not dark, we’re very family-friendly,” said Tom Crawford, co-owner of the new Body Language Tattoo scheduled to open by the end of July above The Cup. “We are family owned and operated; you will see my kids every time you walk in. You don’t have to be afraid to bring your own kids into my shop.” Crawford’s career in piercing and tattoos began with family — one of his daughters got a piercing and “they botched it up and then charged me $75 for it.”

Board of Trustees votes to raise tuition 1.65 percent, financial aid 3.61 percent CHRISTOPHER STEPHENS EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

uition will increase 1.65 percent for the 2015-16 academic year, while student fees will be frozen and financial aid will go up, offsetting the increase. The Board of Trustees voted unanimously to raise tuition to $3,771 per semester next year; however, there will also be a 3.61 percent increase in financial aid for students. This is the university’s seventh consecutive year increasing financial aid at a higher rate than tuition. The total cost to attend next year for an on-campus undergraduate taking 12 to 18 credit hours including all mandatory fees will be $9,498, according to the Board of Trustees report. The increase puts Ball State at the second lowest tuition rate in the MidAmerican Conference. University president Paul W. Ferguson said the university will use the funds gained from the increase to support the Centennial Commitment. “We are moving forward with The Centennial Commitment, positioning the university as the model of the most student-centered and community-engaged 21st century research universities,” Ferguson said in a press release. For the 2016-17 academic year, the university will increase tuition by
The increase in tuition will amount to $77 more per semester for a fulltime Indiana undergraduate taking 12 to 18 credit hours, said vice president for business affairs and treasurer Bernie Hannon. “This board did anything we could do to have a zero increase in tuition,” Hannon said. “1.65 percent, it’s remarkable.” Hannon said the university decided to up tuition but freeze the student fees every student pays, because it allows for a more transparent look at what exactly a student will pay each year and where their money is going.
ALSO PASSED:
• Faculty and staff will receive a 2 percent raise for academic year 2015-16. • An additional $314,340 will be used for specific salary increases. • The student employee wage pool was increased by 2 percent, allowing for more student employees. • The general fund was set at $345,189,000.
1.64 percent. For a full-time Indiana undergraduate taking 12 to 18 credit hours, the cost will increase another $78 per semester. Both Purdue and IU have frozen tuition for the 2015-16 academic year.

Tom Price, an assistant professor of journalism, and his wife, Pam Price, were released from Eskenazi Health in Indianapolis after being treated for smoke inhalation. Tom was released June 3 and Pam was released Friday, Tom said. He still can’t speak louder than a whisper, Tom said, but the couple is working on recovering. “Improving more slowly than I’d like, but still improving,” Tom said. He said they are doing well TOM PRICE, and aren’t receiving any more assistant treatment, despite having been professor in the hospital for nearly a week, and at times under heavy sedation with tubes down their throat to help them breath after they were trapped in their house as it burned around them May 29. The pain is beginning to subside, Tom said, but slowly. “Throats aren’t designed to have tubes shoved down them,” he said. “It is hard for me to keep my mouth shut. I’d probably heal faster if I didn’t talk at all.” For now, Tom and Pam are still living out of a hotel near the hospital, but they are looking for a house to rent until they can find something more permanent. “I have no idea what’s going to happen past this weekend,” he said. “I figure that this is a poor time to make any major lifestyle decisions that aren’t absolutely necessary.”

Jennifer Gilbert is proving she belongs with the best with her play through five games this season. The former Ball State outfielder is in her second season with the Akron Racers of the National Pro Fastpitch League after being selected 10th overall in 2014. Through five games this season, Gil-
bert ranks near the top of many hitting categories. “I feel very comfortable [this season] because I know what to expect,” Gilbert said. “Last year I learned a lot in my international experience with Team Canada and even then I was constantly learning new things from the game and my team.” Gilbert had to make a decision prior to the season between Team Canada and the Racers. She chose to dedicate herself to the Racers — and to playing against the best players the world has to offer.

Decide what photos you want on your magnets, and place them into a Polaroid template. You can create your own template using design software, such as Adobe Photoshop, InDesign or Illustrator. For Ball State students, these programs are available on most university computers. Print them out on a thick cardstock or photo paper using your own printer, a photo kiosk (like Wal-Mart) or a printing services center (Cardinal Copy Center.)
2
Next, attach your photos to a base. I used mounting board, but you can also use standard cardboard or photo mat. Use a paintbrush to spread the glue across the back of your photos and press them securely to the board. It’s easier to attach the entire sheet of photos onto the board without cutting them apart first. Note: Use strong, liquid glue that can double as a finish. I used Modge Podge Matte. You can also use Modge Podge Gloss for a shinier finish.

S
ome apartments and dorm room mini-fridges are bland and boring. These Polaroid photo magnets are the perfect solution to add some color and personality to your space.
3
Using your Exacto knife, cut the Polaroids apart. Mounting board is very thick, and you’ll need to run your knife along a cut multiple times to break through. If the edges get a little rough, use your knife to refine them. If this doesn’t work, you can use a clean emery board to shave down the jagged edges. Optional: If your base is not white, you can use paint to cover the edges and backs for a more professional look.
4
Once your paint is dry, attach magnets to the back of your Polaroids. Hobby Lobby sells packs of thin magnet strips that already have adhesive on the back. They can easily be cut with scissors, so all you need to do is cut them to size and stick them on.
5
Use your Modge Podge, or another type of finishing, to coat the tops of your Polaroids. This will make the photos look shiny and protect the tops from scratches. Don’t panic if it looks white at first, Modge Podge always dries clear. Lay the Polaroids out to dry for 10-15 minutes. Note: If you use something other than Modge Podge, make sure it says “clear finish” or “dries clear” somewhere on the bottle.

NETFLIX SERIES ‘SENSE8’ CHALLENGES VIEWERS WITH COMPLEX STORY DANIEL BROUNT DO YOU COPY?

“What’s going on?” For the eight “sensates” in the new Netflix original series “Sense8,” this is an entirely valid question. Created by the Wachowskis and J. Michael Straczynski, the series follows eight strangers from all around the world as they discover that they are connected in a sort of neural network. When “What’s Up?” by 4 Non Blondes starts playing in one of the sensate’s headphones, the other seven suddenly get the song stuck in their head and start singing it. The montage that follows is one of many parts that prove the show, despite being labeled a sci-fi drama series, is more about humanity at the core than anything else. With the neural network between the characters, they essentially have an extended empathy between each other. This allows them to do more than hear the same song; they can taste what the other tastes, feel what the other feels. They can also use each other’s skills. This especially helps in the show’s numerous action sequences, considering only a few of the characters can actually fight. When he gets into a dangerous situation, Capheus (Aml Ameen), a bus driver in Nairobi, can fight like Sun Bak (Doona Bae), a kickboxer from Seoul. By the way, the fluidity between the different action scenes is incredible. As Bak does the same moves in both Nairobi and Seoul, the shots line up perfectly to the naked eye. Each of these characters have a subplot of their own, with some more related to the overall plot than others. This main plot consists of a sensate named Whispers (Terrence Mann) who leads an organization that hunts
his own kind. When he finds out about the new cluster, his organization begins pursuing them. But this plot takes a backseat to the sensates’ subplots — it’s likely that Whispers will play a larger role next season if the show is renewed. This season is more about establishing each character and the empathy between them. One character in particular, Nomi Marks (Jamie Clayton), stands out. Marks, a lesbian transgender woman, is a political blogger and hacker. One of the show’s creators, Lana Wachowski, is a transgender woman, and she had a significant role in the writing of Marks’ character. At the 2015 Trans 100 event, Wachowski said the show has “some very intense, autobiographical scenes.” This comes through in Marks, a character who feels incredibly realistic and genuine. Marks has several deeply emotional moments, especially in her interactions with her girlfriend, Amanita (Freema Agyeman), and another sensate, Lito Rodriguez (Miguel Ángel Silvestre), a closeted gay actor in Mexico City. These moments wonderfully bring out a lot of the political, ideological and emotional conflicts within the LGBTQ community, such as the division between feminism and transgender women and the problems between homosexuality and Mexico’s machisimo ideals. But the show’s diverse range of storylines explores more than LGBTQ issues. It also explores the issues of the many different religions and cultures of the eight main characters, who live in seven different countries. All this together makes “Sense8” one of the most diverse shows I have ever seen.

“Sense8” is a show that follows eight characters from different cities that experience a vision that connects them mentally. The characters have to figure out what happened and why.
While these characters and locations are well-written for the most part, there are a few flaws here and there. Slow motion is often used unnecessarily. Capheus, for example, is almost too obsessed with Jean-Claude Van Damme. There are also moments where the situations feel too contrived, or the neural connection between the sensates works a little too perfectly. The series also reveals a lot (warning: the show has everything from nudity to live births). Many times, the purpose of these instances is clear and effective. Other times, it is questionable. For some characters, there is just a little too much going on in their storylines for the viewer to understand during the first watch. In some cases, that’s a good thing. The depth is powerful. But going through the show a second time, so much more makes sense and there’s time to catch all the details missed the first time. It’s no surprise that there are flaws here and there, but even in those moments, the fantastic cinematography and music make up for it. So, “what’s going on?” A lot. The Wachowskis and Straczynski were extremely
THE SENSATES •C apheus (Aml Ameen), a bus driver in Nairobi •S un Bak (Doona Bae), a businesswoman and kickboxer in Seoul •N omi Marks (Jamie Clayton), a lesbian transgender woman, blogger and hacker in San Francisco •K ala Dandekar (Tina Desai), a Hindu pharmacist in Mumbai in the midst of a wedding she is unsure of •R iley Blue (Tuppence Middleton), a DJ from Iceland whose past drove her to leave for London •W olfgang Bogdanow (Max Riemelt), a locksmith in Berlin who is involved in organized crime • L ito Rodriguez (Miguel Ángel Silvestre), a closeted gay actor in Mexico City •W ill Gorski (Brian J. Smith), a cop in Chicago troubled by an unsolved murder ambitious in packing all of this into one show. They crammed in eight subplots and a main plot, filmed in eight different countries and took on more ideological issues than I can count. So go into “Sense8” knowing it is going to be complicated and slow at some points. But after digesting each episode, it is entirely worth it. Rating: 4.5/5
I’d bought a ticket to the first viewing of the movie, ready to see one of my favorite books come to life. My friends and I had been counting down to the premiere day all summer, and now it was here. But when I walked out of the theater two hours later, all I could think was, “What did I just watch?” Unfortunately, that scenario has happened a lot, which is why I’m very hesitant when I hear that a book I read will become a movie or TV show. I’m not saying all movie adaptations are bad. There have been a few recently — like “The Maze Runner” and “The Fault in Our Stars” — that I thought really matched the book well. Most of the time, though, I don’t see a great resemblance. When I first found out “The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones” was being made into a movie, I was so excited. I had read all the books in the series and I couldn’t wait to see what the movie did for the book. But I left the theater disappointed. I could understand taking out a few settings, but the movie took parts of the book and rearranged them. Understandably directors have to take out some details in order to fit the story into a certain time frame, but sometimes directors take out key storylines. I’m not asking for every detail to be in the movie, but directors could try harder to stick to the main idea. Keep the same characters, don’t add or subtract, make the story flow the way it does in the book and don’t mix up the way that events happen. It’s not just movies that take the idea of a book and then just do whatever. TV shows do the same thing. I just finished reading “The 100” by Kass Morgan, and I was excited to start watching the TV series based on the book. I had actually watched the first few episodes last summer, but then
stopped when I decided to read the book first. It wouldn’t have mattered if I’d finished the series and then started the book, because the entire book was summed up in the first episode, they added characters that weren’t in the book and even took out certain characters. They cut an entire storyline and added a completely random one in its place. While the TV series was great and I can’t wait to watch season two when it comes out on Netflix, I wanted to see the book version come to life. Instead, I saw a slight glimpse into the book I loved, but mostly I saw the screenwriters making up what they wanted. Even if the TV show warned viewers that it was nothing like the book, I probably still would have watched it. I didn’t need that connection to find it interesting. I’ve learned my lesson in trusting Hollywood to give me something based on a book I read. Before I get excited about a new movie/TV series coming out, I do my research. I try to figure out just how close to the book a movie or TV series is going to be. I understand that movies/TV series can’t put every detail in. I even understand that sometimes producers like an idea but not the exact storyline. What I don’t understand is why, if the movie or TV series is not going to follow the book, it still has the same name as the book. I would rather be warned that the adaptation isn’t going to be the book, instead of finding that out on my own. Be cautious when watching the movie or TV show. Unfortunately, I think accurate book adaptations will still be pretty rare, but maybe with websites like Twitter, fans will be able to communicate with the producers more and create something that portrays the book the way fans want it portrayed.

The NCAA has approved a new set of rules and areas of referee focus for men’s basketball that are intended to improve the pace of play, balance offense more with defense and reduce physicality.
PACE OF PLAY
•T he shot clock was reduced from 35 to 30 seconds. • Each team can only carry three timeouts instead of four into the second half. • Officials will resume play faster after timeouts, and they will issue delayof-game warning the first time a team doesn’t comply. Each time after that, they will give a one-shot technical foul. • Coaches can no longer call timeout

I also know that I’m playing against the best in the world, and in this game I won’t get a hit or get on base every time like in college.” A former All-American for Ball State, the skills are there for Gilbert. She’s one of the most decorated players in Mid-American Conference softball history. The mental aspect is what Gilbert sees as a major part of the game. Staying positive is key in helping her play softball. In a blog Gilbert wrote for WSN, she said building a solid mental foundation is just as important as working on the mechanics, like going to the batting cages.

WOMEN’S
Committee switches from 20-minute halves to 10-minute quarters Women’s NCAA basketball is undergoing changes to enhance game flow next season. The biggest difference will be changing from four 10-minute quarters to two 20-minute halves.
CHANGE TO QUARTERS
•A lthough the NCAA has always used the two-half format, the rules committee recommended the changing from two 20-minute halves to four 10-minute quarters.
BALL ADVANCEMENT
•A rule has also been approved to advance the ball to halfcourt in the last 59.9 seconds of the fourth quarter and any overtime periods after a rebound or change of possession. • The committee felt the change would add excitement to the end of
the game because a team would not have to travel the length of the floor.
FOULS
•T eams shoot two free throws for the fifth foul in each quarter, and fouls will reset after the quarter. If a team reaches the bonus in the fourth quarter, the number of fouls would carry over to any overtime period.
BACKCOURT VIOLATION
•A team will not face a 10-second backcourt violation when: - the ball is deflected out of bounds by the defense - there is a held ball, and the possession arrow favors the offensive team - a technical foul is called on the offensive team while the ball is in its backcourt
OTHER RULE CHANGES
•A mplified music may now be played during any deadball situations. • The committee is working on timeout and media timeout proposals.
2015 STATISTICS JENNIFER GILBERT, RACERS PLAYER • Batting Average - .353 • Slugging Percentage - .647 • Home Runs - 1 • Triples - 1 • Runs Batted In - 3 She also credits her work as a Ball State assistant coach for helping her develop a strong mindset. No athlete can play the sport they love forever. For now, Gilbert is steadily improving and enjoying her time at the highest level. “It feels great,” Gilbert said, DN FILE PHOTO BREANNA DAUGHERTY “just taking it one game at Jennifer Gilbert is currently tied for fifth in the league with a .353 batting average. Gilbert is also tied for seventh in runs batted with three. a time.”
BASKETBALL
TEAM ADDS NEW ASSISTANT COACH The Ball State women’s basketball team has added a former head coach from Howard University to its staff. Head coach Brady Sallee has added Tennille Adams as an assistant coach. Adams replaces former assistant TENNILLE ADAMS Rekha Patter- Assistant coach son, who took a head coaching job at Southeast Missouri State. “Hiring Tennille allowed me to accomplish every single goal I set for filling this position,” Sallee said in a statement. “I wanted a strong recruiter who already had ties to the Midwest. I wanted someone who could be a strong mentor to our young ladies, and I wanted someone who had a wealth of experience coaching in our sport.” Adams has served as the head coach at Howard over the past two season. She was previously an assistant for five years at Northwestern. She has also coached at American University, Lon Morris Junior College and North Carolina A&T State. Adams was a standout player for Arkansas. She helped the Razorbacks get to the 1997-98 Final Four and win the 199899 Women’s National Invitation Tournament. “It is easy to see why Coach Adams started at the top of my list and stayed there throughout the whole process,” Sallee said. “Her experiences as a player in the Final Four, as an assistant in the Big Ten and a head coach will be a true asset to everyone involved in Ball State women’s basketball. I couldn’t be happier to bring a former Indiana All-Star back to her home state.” – STAFF REPORTS

In an effort to refresh Ball State’s brand, the university has made some minor changes to the Charlie Cardinal logo. The changes includes the removal of the motion lines and deepening of the red. “It sort of sends a subtle message that things are changing, things are improving,” athletic director Mark Sandy said. “That refreshed brand can say things are on the move, and we’re up to date and on the cutting edge of what people are looking for.” Sandy said the removal of the lines was not unanimous, but a majority supported it. “It obviously helps with all the marketing. In this case, it makes the logo easier to sensor and it makes the Cardinal head itself larger without the lines,” he said. He said the change represents how the university is moving forward. The new football turf at Scheumann Stadium set everything in motion because it’s featured on the turf. “The university as a whole has been discussing how we could reframe our brand and make it look better without making whole scope changes,” Sandy said. – STAFF REPORTS
DELAWARE COUNTY TOP IN METH LABS

PHOTOS PROVIDED BY BODY LANGUAGE TATTOO
MUNCIE — For the second straight year a central Indiana county leads the state in the highest number of illegal meth labs reported between January and April, according to statistics released by the Indiana State Police. Authorities discovered 68 methamphetamine labs in the fourmonth period in Delaware County, up from the 42 reported during the same time a year ago, The Star Press reported. Noble County ranked second in the state with 24 meth labs this year, and only five of Indiana’s other 90 counties had 20 labs or more. Scott O’Dell, who oversees the Muncie Police Department’s narcotics unit, said Thursday he didn’t think that Muncie and Delaware County had more meth producers in the state. He suspects that the higher figures are due to good work by law enforcement and residents, who are familiar with the warning signs of possible meth production and are willing to alert authorities. Delaware County Prosecutor Jeffrey Arnold agreed with O’Dell and said that the most recent statistics “reflect a trend toward enforcement.” Arnold said police foot patrols in some areas also have been effective in finding meth labs. –
