Historic mansion soon up for lease

ORIENTATION

Ardagh Group to leave Ball home, relocate company to Fishers ALLIE KIRKMAN DAILY NEWS REPORTER | aekirkman@bsu.edu One of the historic Ball mansions, found around the Minnetrista area near campus, will soon be up for lease after the glassmaking company Ardagh Group relocates to Fishers. Since 1982, the Ball Brothers Foundation has been leasing “Maplewood,” the William C. and Emma Ball Home, to companies to use for multiple purposes, in some cases as a guesthouse. Ardagh Group recently announced it will be leaving the building and relocating its headquarters and 200 employees from the Ball mansion. Since this announcement, there has been confusion as to what the future holds for “Maplewood,” but Jud Fisher, president and chief operating officer of the Ball Brothers Foundation, said there is no reason for the stress, as nothing has actually changed. “I have had a lot of calls from people who had misinformation, and they thought the house has been sold and things like that,” Fisher said. “It’s in the same ownership it has been in for years with the foundation. In reality, it’s just simply a company leaving our area.” But the foundation will “have to come up with a new plan” and find another use for the large historic building, or it could sit unused. The Ball Brothers Foundation has said there is a possibility in leasing or donating the mansion to Ball State University, IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital or others. But Fisher said as of right now, the building is still being leased by Ardagh, and there is no pressure or deadline to finding a new company to lease the building in the future. “We own it, so there is no reason for a deadline or anything,” Fisher said.

New in tech this month

Seventy-two additional emojis, grocery delivery service and more AMANDA BELCHER FEATURES EDITOR | features@bsudailynews.com

This month has seen a lot of announcements in the world of technology. Apple has been making some advancements in phone design and iOS updates. But they aren’t the only ones making a splash this month. NEW EMOJIS The emoji update, called Unicode 9.0, released Monday, according to Emojipedia. The update, which was announced on June 2, includes 72 new emojis such as an avocado, pancakes and a facepalm. DELETABLE APPS Apple has announced if users update to iOS 10 beta, they will be able to delete the built-in apps that come on their phone. Examples include the Stocks, Passbook and Newsstand apps. To redownload any of the deleted apps, users can search for it in the App Store and redownload it from their iCloud. WALMART DELIVERY Walmart and Sam’s Club shoppers may be able to get groceries delivered to them. The company plans to test the new plan in Denver and Phoenix and will use Uber and Lyft. Shoppers will be able to use the store’s website to purchase the items and have them delivered for an extra fee. The orders will be filled by Walmart employees, who will then request an Uber or Lyft driver to complete the process. WRAP-AROUND PHONE SCREEN On June 14, Apple got a patent for a 360-degree, wrap-around phone screen for the iPhone. Users would be able to view videos, images and text on the front, back and sides of their phones. This would also change the buttons for volume and ring settings, which are currently located on the left side, to virtual buttons instead of physical ones. It is still unclear if or when Apple will roll out this design, as their patent application did not include details about incorporating the design into a future version of the iPhone.

Incoming freshmen Isabell Baughman and Kimberly Parkhurst sit in the L.A. Pittenger Student Center Ballroom with the rest of their orientation group, listening to a presentation. Orientation has been described as an “information overload” by students and their families.

‘ INFORMATION

’ OVERLOAD With long meetings and time-consuming topics, some incoming freshmen could find summer orientation overwhelming. ALLIE KIRKMAN DAILY NEWS REPORTER

he first step to becoming a Cardinal is to get through freshman orientation, and the incoming class of 2020 has already had several groups complete it in the last few weeks. Orientation for Fall 2016 began June 6 and will run until July 14. For first-time freshmen who start classes in August, the program runs as a two-day session. Students who have already completed it experienced icebreaker games and team bonding exercises with their orientation leaders, help with academic planning and many lectures throughout the days, which some students said made them “zone out.” 1.

While leaders said every topic is important — covering topics such financial aid, housing and career services — the length of the lectures is one of the most common complaints from both students and parents. Dalton Puller, an incoming freshman business and sports administration major, said he enjoyed orientation as a whole, but the long meetings were not enjoyable. He said those sections of orientation were really the only thing that could be improved. “I didn’t really like amount of lectures. They should also have the breaks be longer ... because when you’re sitting there for two hours, a one-minute break isn’t going to cut it,” Puller said. “Pretty much everyone has to go to the bathroom, and if you get stuck in line to do that then you end up missing important information.” Puller said he wished leaders could just present the main topics and leave out some of the others, as — to him — they weren’t all equally important and some felt too time-consuming.

Gender issues arise in election Female candidate sparks questions about feminism

ALLIE KIRKMAN DAILY NEWS REPORTER aekirkman@bsu.edu

Hillary Clinton has clinched the Democratic Party’s nomination, making her the first female in American history to earn a major political party’s nominee. And according to a recent Washington Post/ ABC News survey, Republican nominee and opponent, Donald Trump has been losing support over the last month. Just by getting the nomination, Clinton made history. A look into the future of the possibility of a female-led nation brings up questions of feminism: What is it, and can men be feminists too? According to some Ball State students and professors — yes, feminism is good for men too. Courtney Jarrett, an associate director of disability services and faculty advisor of Feminist for Action, said she follows American author, feminist and social activist bell hooks’ definition of feminism.

“Feminism is a movement to end sexism, sexist exploitation and oppression,” Jarrett said. “Feminists believe in equality for everyone.” Feminism is an ideology and social movement, said Julee Rosser, a women’s and gender studies instructor. “Feminism is the movement toward equality between women and men,” she said. “It arose as a way to attend to the concerns and life experiences of women and girls, who, due to widespread androcentric bias, had long been excluded from knowledge construction both as researchers and research subjects. It looks at gender as one of the most significant foundational pieces of social organization and structure.” So if the nation were to elect its first woman president, is that a step toward a feminist America? Rosser said feminism is actually more than gender alone. “Gender is not the only classification that structures social life. Feminism also recognizes the importance of perspectives that come from race, class, age, ability, religion, sexuality and ethnicity,” she said. “In fact, we

cannot observe or understand the importance of gender in people’s lives without taking into account how these additional standpoints intersect. This is one reason why it is useful to strive to understand feminism, because in the intersections of these classifications we are better able to understand different social realities.” There are many misconceptions about feminism, Jarrett said. “I think the most common one is that feminists are all angry, hairy, man-hating lesbians,” she said. “There are many feminists who are also lesbians, but they are not the only people that identify as feminists. And a majority of the feminists I know are very happy people. Anyone that wants equality for everyone can choose to identify as a feminist and be a part of the movement – it’s that simple.” Though Clinton herself identifies as a feminist, not all feminists have given her their vote; not all women are voting for Clinton, not all men are voting for Trump. Some argue if Clinton really is a feminist herself. But according a recent NBC survey, while Trump currently has more male voters

backing him, he’s not too far ahead. He has 51 percent, with 42 percent of males siding with Clinton. While siding with Clinton doesn’t necessarily make someone a feminist, regardless of their gender, Jarrett said another common misconception is males cannot be feminist at all. She said this isn’t true — the student group Feminists for Action has several men as members who identify as feminists. “Feminism is good for men because feminism is good for everyone. If our society were based on principles of equality, then men could choose to display feminine characteristics without fear of judgment,” Jarrett said. “They could choose to be stay-at-home parents and not be judged by others because it would just be a normal thing. They could see that their friends and family who identify as female would be paid the same as they are and not have to worry about body image because those problems would not exist in a society where everyone is considered equal.” Dalton Martin, a junior telecommunications major and feminist, said that an issue he faces is judgment

from society. “I know many guys who believe in feminism but do not necessarily call themselves a feminist,” Martin said. “They tend to identify as an egalitarian or humanist due to the negative stigma the title of a feminist has gathered. Just like any movement or ideology, there will always be different groups that promote their beliefs differently, whether in a positive or negative light.” Martin said the reality is, feminism is beneficial for everyone. “It’s easy to misconceive the message of feminism because, in most cases, it focuses primarily on women’s rights so men do not always see the immediate benefits for them,” Martin said. “With feminism, males who portray more feminine qualities do not necessarily have to feel out of place and can start to be accepted by society as a whole. The same goes for females who exhibit masculine traits. Due to feminism, people typically end up growing to be more open-minded and more tolerant, which by all means is a huge plus for all genders.” Studies suggest feminism and gender equality is good for the economy,

people’s sex lives and people’s general happiness. Rachael Smith, a women’s and gender studies professor, said she couldn’t agree more with the studies. “The economy is improved when people are paid a living wage and are able to spend money,” Smith said. “There are more female heads of households in the U.S. than ever before. Yet, women make less money than men. Minimum-wage jobs are not going to provide basic needs for families in today’s economic climate. With wage increases and wage equality, men and women will be able to provide for their families and stimulate the economy with extra spending.” Ultimately, Rosser said feminism is important for America, and the world. “It is important for men to be included in feminism,” Rosser said. “We recently lost 49 people in Orlando due to another angry man with a gun. Let us connect the dots between violent hyper-masculinity, religious aggression and fear: ... a triangle of destruction. Feminism can help men to increase their awareness in issues related to power in themselves, their relationships and in society.”

ORIENTATION:

Lindsey Speer, associate director of admissions and orientation, said while the sessions may be long, they are beneficial for students and families. “We hear that sessions are sometimes long or that it can be a lot of sitting, but in the end, they realize how much they have learned and how much fun they are able to have with members of their group and with the orientation leaders,” Speer said. “Families often comment on how much information they received — sometimes information overload, but how helpful and useful the information was.” Speer said the information

by gardens along the White River near the Minnetrista Cultural Center. On each side of “Maplewood” sits “Oakhurst” and “Nebosham,” also known as the E.B. and Bertha C. Ball Center. Built in 1894, “Oakhurst” was home to George A. and Frances Ball. The two had a daughter named Elisabeth who developed the gardens surrounding the home in the 1930s. The area was later restored when taken over by the Minnetrista Cultural Center. Today, “Oakhurst” is open for tours and features the

Besides just supplying parents and students with information, some students said orientation made them feel ready to come to Ball State and finally be a Cardinal. Kelcey Jones, an incoming freshman special education major, said orientation made her excited for her first year in college. “My favorite part of the whole thing was when I got to split away, since I was an education major, and I got talked to about my major,” Jones said. “It was so interesting and made it so real. Orientation helped me realize Ball State is where I want

Ball. After Bertha’s death in 1957, the house remained unused until 1963, when it was leased to Ball State University, according to the university’s website. In 1975, the Ball Brothers Foundation gave the property to the Ball State Uni-

to be, and I’m so excited to be going here in the fall.” But another complaint among students is regarding the Freshman Common Reader. The Freshman Common Reading and Writing Experience serves as the first academic assignment for incoming freshmen, according to bsu.edu. Students receive a copy of the book during summer orientation along with support materials and are required to complete the related online writing assignment before arriving on campus. This year’s book is “The True American,” written by Anand Giridharadas and Rais Bhuiyan. Puller said after talking to several upperclassmen on the unofficial Ball State University Class of 2020 Face-

versity Foundation for use by Ball State University as a continuing education facility. In 1986, the building was renamed the E.B. and Bertha C. Ball Center for University and Community Programs and is currently used to serve the university and the public. Another building is the “L.L. Ball House.” The home was occupied by Lucius Ball, his wife Sarah Rogers and their only child, Helen. Lucius, the oldest brother, had gone to medical school after his younger brothers were established in a productive business, ac-

book page, he’s learned that many students never read their Freshman Reader and said it never negatively affected them during college. “They should not make us read a book and do an essay on it,” Puller said. “It’s not even for a grade or anything. So I know that me and probably everyone else don’t want to do ‘busy work’ that doesn’t count for anything. It’s just time consuming.” Despite some complaints, for most students, freshman orientation is a fun time to get comfortable with campus and meet new people. Randy Ziegelman, an incoming freshman acting major, said he enjoyed the twoday orientation and thought the orientation leaders helped make the experience fun for him.

cording to fruitjar.org. Lucius practiced medicine in Muncie and was the medical officer for the Ball brothers. The home was later used to be rented out to families until the early 1970s, when it was leased to Ball State University. The university housed the WIPB television studio there, where known painter Bob Ross filmed “The Joy of Painting.” The “L.L. Ball House” is now used for offices and classrooms. While the other homes of the Ball family do not expect any changes in the near future, Fisher said

“Orientation was a very beneficial and overall fun experience,” Ziegelman said. “The leaders and other students were incredible. They were fun, friendly, and I was very impressed at how professional they were. The best part was definitely being able to meet new people and getting to connect with them. Overall, it was a fun experience getting a taste of college life.” Speer agreed, saying students typically say they love the orientation leaders. “They are doing a fantastic job and [are] well representing orientation as well as Ball State University,” Speer said. The leaders are often what the students enjoy most, as they get them excited to come back in the fall, encourage them to make friends while

the foundation is committed to ensuring “Maplewood” will continue to be in good hands. “Ball Brothers Foundation is committed to prudent financial management of all of our assets, including this real estate, and our board continues to consider a number of possibilities for the property moving forward,” Fisher said. “As a family foundation with a 90-year history, our focus remains, simply, on one thing: effectively managing and utilizing our assets to improve the quality of life in Muncie, Delaware County and Indiana.”

at orientation and make their two days on campus enjoyable. She said without the student leaders, the experience wouldn’t have that “student perspective” it needs. Orientation causes mixed feelings and reactions each year for both students and parents, which they can voice through an online survey the Office of Admissions and Orientation will later review. Speer said there is always room for improvement for future orientations. “The biggest challenge is ensuring we are continually meeting the needs and demands of our students, their families, our university as well as state and federal regulations,” Speer said. “We do our best to ensure success for every program we offer.”

Mike Neu inspires students in Boys and Girls Club Ball State football head coach offers leadership advice

COLIN GRYLLS SPORTS EDITOR sports@bsudailynews.com

Ball State football coach Mike Neu had a simple message for the local middle and high school students at the Boys and Girls Club Youth Leadership Boot Camp. “Our world needs difference-makers, and young people like you need to do something about it,” he said. “This right here is doing something about it.” The students, all from Delaware County, were on campus as part of a week-long camp. They spend their days in classrooms talking about leadership, inspirational people and how to respond to difficult situations like peer pressure and bullying. Participants in the camp aren’t just chosen at random, they have to apply and be recommended by an adult, like a

teacher or a coach. Neu said that’s one of the reasons he talked to them — it was their choice to join the program. “They want that responsibility,” Neu said. “Not a lot of people acknowledge that they want to take something like that on. I think that’s pretty special for this group, and I think it’s special what the Boys and Girls Club is doing here to be able to give back to these kids like that.” Still, addressing high school students can be difficult. To gauge how relevant his stories would be, Neu would pause and ask questions. “That can kind of help send you down the right path, if you will,” he said. “This is what information I think they can handle right now; this would be good for them based on the questions they asked early on before we started.” Some questions, like whether any of the students had heard of the Arena Football League, just received confused looks. Others made students sit up a little straighter, as if they were trying to listen

with their entire body. “Who’s heard of Drew Brees?” Everybody’s hand shot up. Neu spent the last two seasons working with the former NFL MVP as the quarterbacks coach for New Orleans Saints, so he took the opportunity to point out some of Brees’ habits that translate to the classroom. “He studies, takes notes, highlights the playbook,” Neu told the students. The Brees example helped Neu illustrate an overarching point: the basic tenants of leadership apply to all aspects of life, not just the gridiron. That point rang home throughout the day, as other speakers addressed the group with similar messages — respect both superiors and subordinates, help others reach their potential and keep working hard. One of those speakers, Lieutenant Colonel Jeremy Gulley of the Indiana National Guard, said he attended a similar leadership camp in the ‘80s.

“I remember it,” he said. “I still remember it.
