Former BSU professor arrested for child porn A former Ball State University professor of Information and Communication Sciences, Robert Yadon, has been arrested for possession of child pornography — making this the third arrest of a university employee in less than three months for similar charges. Yadon, also serving as the director of the Applied Research Institute, was barred from campus on June 21 and arrested on June 27 by the University Police Department, according to a press release. The arrest of the professor came upon conclusion of an investigation done by UPD along with the Indiana State Police Cyber Crime Unit, which was brought on after a routine security scan found unusual activity, said university spokesperson Joan Todd. “The university has in place strong security measures to protect the integrity of our technology system, which include routinely scanning the use of information systems,” UPD Chief Jim Duckham said in the press release. “When traffic patterns suggest that information security, integrity or performance has been compromised, we investigate. These enhanced measures enabled us to discover and further examine the conduct in all three of these matters.” Ball State does not currently use any technology to block certain content, like pornography, online, but instead has in place a policy governing the use of the internet that prohibits criminal activity, the press release said. However, if the university finds “additional measures are warranted,” then changes to prevent future cases like these might occur. While the two previous arrests, one May 13 and one April 13, are similar, authorities in the investigation currently have no information that suggests these three cases of possession of child pornography are related to each other.

Fourth of July tradition dates back to nation’s 1st anniversary REBECCA KIZER NEWS EDITOR | news@bsudailynews.com
Though Indiana has lenient rules, keep these in mind this weekend REBECCA KIZER NEWS EDITOR | news@bsudailynews.com
he Declaration of Independence, unanimously declared by the thirteen colonies, was adopted by the Continental Congress in Philadelphia on July 4, 1776 — something every American citizen should probably know. Because of this, every year on July 4, there are celebrations. Today, it’s with barbecues, family get-togethers and, most notably, fireworks. But what was it like in 1777, the first anniversary of the signing? It was pretty much the same.
ndiana is one of the most lenient states when it comes to fireworks. At every state border and off of major interstate exits, large firework stores sit year-round and pop up in the summer due to the state’s laws. However, if large fireworks are purchased at one of these stores, consumers must sign an agreement saying they won’t take them out-of-state. Other than keeping them in Indiana, there are also other laws that need to be followed for a safe, legal and fun Fourth of July celebration.

Paul W. Ferguson hired as dean at Biola University Five months after resignation, former president has new job REBECCA KIZER NEWS EDITOR | news@bsudailynews.com Former president Paul W. Ferguson, who resigned without explanation after only 18 months and three and a half years before his contract was up, has now landed a new job at Biola University — a private Christian school in California. He has been named the school’s founding dean of its School of Science, Technology and Health. According to an article in Biola University’s student newspaper, the search had four final candidates as of March, who were scheduled to meet with both professors and students before their search committee would ultimately choose the new dean.

SUMMER OLYMPICS
ROAD TO RIO VISITS INDIANAPOLIS
Past Olympians show off medals in Monument Circle COLIN GRYLLS SPORTS EDITOR | sports@bsudailynews.com
Last weekend, the Road to Rio Tour swung through Indianapolis’ Monument Circle, complete with live music, Olympic memorabilia and a zip line dressed to resemble Rio’s Sugarloaf Mountain. Fans in attendance also got a chance to meet several former Olympians. Former gymnast Shawn Johnson East, who won gold on the balance beam in the 2008 Beijing Olympics along with three silver medals, said she’s still not used to signing autographs and posing with admirers. “It’s still weird,” she said. “It will always be weird. I’ll never get used to it. It’s kind of
that ‘pinch me’ moment, surreal. Having girls come up to me and say, ‘You’re my idol,’ I never believe it, but it kind of shows that all of the hard work pays off.” Johnson East also introduced country singer Hunter Hayes to the main stage June 25, where he performed a free concert. The day before, country artist Thomas Finchum, a former Olympic diver who competed in the 2008 games, performed. Retired rower Mary Whipple was also on hand. Whipple will be NBC’s rowing commentator in Rio, but in Indianapolis she showed off her gold medal from the 2012 London Games as people lined up to take photos with her. She said she enjoys seeing people react to holding an Olympic medal for the first time. “It’s really great to see the expression in people’s eyes about how big they are and how
heavy they are,” she said. “And I don’t mind sharing it. It’s a part of my journey, it’s a part of my story and it’s a unique gift I can give.” Attendees could also take photos against green screens that would place them on top of an Olympic podium, arching over the bar in the high jump or standing on top of the diving board. A trailer carried memorabilia ranging from a pair of 1950s track shoes to the torch used by the late Muhammed Ali during the Opening Ceremonies at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta.
All of the displays might make some fans starry-eyed, but four-time silver medalist Kara Lynn Joyce, a swimmer who competed in the 2004, 2008 and 2012 Olympics, said she thinks meeting the athletes at the Road to Rio Tour helps make Olympic dreams seem more realistic. THE PULSE OF BALL STATE

Bracken still facing flood repairs Library records 13,000 damaged items in April leak
|
ALLIE KIRKMAN DAILY NEWS REPORTER aekirkman@bsu.edu
Two months after the flooding and the worst damage Bracken Library has ever seen, repairs and replacements to all the damages are still underway, and the final tally of damages is just under 13,000 items. Suzanne Rice, interim dean of University Libraries until Matthew Shaw takes over as dean, said this accounts for less than 1 percent of the library’s full collection. The damage occurred just a couple weeks before finals last semester, when a water-chiller pipe on a large air handler broke in the library’s fifth floor, causing flooding and damages throughout the second, third and fourth floors in the west wing of the library. Thousands of collection books and computers got wet. As a result, the clean-up effort involved multiple fans and de-humidifiers spread out across the floors, a disaster recovery contractor, scores of facilities planning/ management staff, help from many library employees and volunteers. The library is working on gathering reports of damaged items for insurance purposes and is starting the assessment and analysis for replacements, which Rice said

is a complicated process that will take a couple of months. While the process is slow, inspections are currently underway. “All of the shelving and books on two, three and four west where the flood happened, all of that has been inspected and cleaned, and we are now in the process of sorting through literally a thousand items that
were evacuated from the disaster area,” Rice said. “We are sorting through those and returning those to their proper location.” Repairs have already been made to avoid any other damages in the future. “That includes special sensors now to detect failures very quickly so that they can be identified and repaired before something
STUDENTS INTERN AT AIR AND SPACE MUSEUM Holtgraves, Madrid make connections at Smithsonian job
|
MICHELLE KAUFMAN DAILY NEWS REPORTER mekaufman@bsu.edu
From the Digital Corps to Washington, D.C., two students are spending their summer interning at the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum’s Interactive Media and Outreach program. Senior telecommunications-digital video production majors Micah Holtgraves and Lexy Madrid are both Digital Corps video specialists and worked on a project in December through the Corps with the Smithsonian, which led to the connection for the internship. “I already had my foot in the door by meeting the people and working with them in December, so I knew I’d have a head start versus other people that would be applying, so I figured why not go for it?” Holtgraves said. Out of the 61 Smithsonian interns, only three are video interns.
“Our job is basically to create content for the museum, whether that be live broadcasts or whether that be creating a promotional video for an app, which is a project that we’re working on right now,” Madrid said. On July 1, the Smithsonian will celebrate its 40th anniversary of the opening of the Air and Space Museum. The museum will be open from 8 p.m.- 8 a.m., and Madrid and Holtgraves will be producing the live broadcast for the entire 12 hours. Madrid said one of the things that drove her to the internship was seeing how far connections could get her — and the chance to live in a city. “Living in a city is really important, especially for a lot of video production people, because that’s where the money is. … A lot of people move to cities, so it’s really good to get experience living here, get experience of what it takes to get to work every morning,” Madrid said. “It sounds little, but you have to deal with metro delays or buses not coming; … it helps you learn good skills like that too, especially coming from a small Indiana town.” This is Holtgraves’ first in-
ternship and first time moving out-of-state, which he said is overwhelming but exciting since he has the chance to meet people from across the country, including astronaut Terry Virts. “He just came down from the International Space Station. He was up there for over 200 days. They were filming a new IMAX film that just released a couple weeks ago that’s actually airing here right now [and] ... he just put on a little presentation,” Holtgraves said. “We also recorded that using five cameras. … We were running the broadcast of his presentation.” After graduation, Madrid wants to go into stage managing and organizing everything it takes to make a production, and Holtgraves wants to do documentary work, but after his internship, the Smithsonian could also be an option for him. “I love NASA and space, and that was one of the big draws for me to apply here,” he said. “I don’t necessarily wanna work in live production, like regular TV news or sports, … but things space- and science-related, I think that’d be pretty cool.”

becomes a problem,” Rice said. “So, hopefully, we will never see a flood of this magnitude again.” There is not a definite date as to when all the repairs and replacements will be complete, but Rice predicts it will be several months before they are “back to where [they] were.” While a few small areas on the fourth floor are still closed

off, the vast majority of the floor is open. Help from faculty and volunteers in the time following the water leak kept the damage from being any worse. Rice said many people were involved in quickly moving things around after the flood. “I would like to thank the facility personnel and everyone who turned out to help us in our hour of need,

Bracken Library has access to about 2.3 million books, periodicals, microforms, audiovisual materials, software, government publication maps, musical scores, archival records and other information sources, according to bsu.edu.
| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 As of then, no names had been announced, making the search seemingly closed — like Ball State’s own current presidential search, which is scheduled to choose a new president as early as Fall 2016. In April, Ferguson’s name appeared on a list of applicants for a chancellor position at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, along with 16 others. Though he didn’t get the Little Rock job, his new job at the southern California university will save Ball State money, according to Ferguson’s original severance contract. The contract outlined his “duty to mitigate,” saying he must make “reasonable and diligent” efforts to gain a senior employment position in higher education or other employment in line with his expertise. Because Ferguson was hired at Biola University, the severance payment will be reduced — but it’s not clear by how much. The contract said Ball State’s monthly payments to Ferguson would be reduced by the amount of his “new monthly base compensation” for the remaining months of the university’s obligations. If he had not found an-

other senior position in his field by March 2017, Ball State would have paid him a total of about $561,400 as a severance package. According to a Biola University news release, Ferguson’s new job will be in effect as of July 11, though the university’s new school is not scheduled to be open until 2017. The news release said “Ferguson’s entrepreneurial and creative leadership has been consistently modeled throughout his career,” and noted he is “passionate about leading in the integration of a Christian worldview with science, technology and health sciences education and scholarship.” Though the news release lists Ball State, along with five other schools, as a place where Ferguson has previously worked, his unexplained resignation is not mentioned.
Biola did say in its news release that during his time as Ball State’s president, the university created a new College of Health and also secured a $62.5 million appropriation from the state to construct its new health building. “I have enjoyed working at each institution with the faculty to promote impactful shared governance that translates into effective strategic planning and communication between the campus, system leadership and governing boards,” Ferguson said in the news release. “My wife, Grace, and I are led to close the chapter of our lives focused on public higher education. We are looking forward to building an integrated environment of faith and academics to educate young men and women to impact the world for Christ.”

HISTORY:
| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 According to America University’s archives, many of the traditions celebrated in today’s time started in the beginning of America’s independence. “Sound, spectacle and sen-
timent” played an important role, even in the 1700s. The first “Fourth of July” celebration was in fact July 4, 1777, and took place in Philadelphia and Boston. The events had all of the elements of typical future celebrations, but with a colonial twist — the discharge of cannons, one round for each state in the union; the ring-
ing of bells; a dinner; the use of music; toasts; loud “huzzas;” a parade; and, even back then, fireworks. While they weren’t exactly the same back then, fireworks did exist. Many historians actually suggest the use of fireworks dates back to 200 B.C. and originated in China, but others believe they got their start

Someone recklessly, knowingly or intentionally using fireworks causing the serious injury or death of someone else could face imprisonment and a maximum fine of $10,000. Anyone under the age of 18 possessing or using fireworks without the presence of an adult could face a fine of $500 per infraction.

The use of fireworks on the Fourth spread relatively slowly, not even making their way through all thirteen states for a few decades, and the firing of cannons
and muskets were much more common. And not until later, sometime after the war of 1812, was it celebrated every year across the country. Today, The American Pyrotechnics Association (APA) estimates more than 14,000 fireworks displays light up the sky in the U.S. each Fourth of July.
