fter his first experience in Slovenia in 1995, Dom Caristi has gone on one more Fulbright trip to Greece, become a Fulbright ambassador and is Ball State’s Fulbright adviser. He has even applied to go on a third trip. “I’m their biggest cheerleader ... There are plenty of more prestigious Fulbrighters than me. There are members of the U.S. Senate, House of Representatives. There are captains of industry,” Caristi said. “They’re more famous and more accomplished, but there’s nobody who’s more enthusiastic about it than me.” The telecommunications professor works with Barb Stedman, director of national and international scholarships, to recruit students and help them apply for the Fulbright. Fulbright is an international program for students and professors that provides opportunities to teach, study and research in more than 140 countries. Caristi participated in the Fulbright Scholar program, but he primarily advises students for the Fulbright U.S. Student Program. The program requires a bachelor’s degree or equivalent, so students generally apply during their last year of undergraduate study. If they are accepted, they take part in the program during the year after graduation.

Dom Caristi, Ball State Fulbright adviser and telecommunications professor, was a Fulbright Scholar twice. He went to Slovenia in 1995 and Greece in 2009.
For the last five years, three or four people from Ball State have participated in the program. In 2014-15, four Ball State graduates were accepted. The students went to Germany, the United Kingdom, Hungary and Malaysia. “For everyone who goes, it’s life changing,” Caristi said. Three of the students went on their Fulbrights during the 201415 academic year, but Taylor Byrd did not start her program until January because Malaysia has a
different academic year. She went to Sabah, Malaysia for an English teaching assistantship, and will stay there until November. Byrd graduated with an English language arts education degree and hoped her Fulbright experience would help her become a better educator. Before Fulbright, Byrd had only worked with upper level ninth graders and AP classes. She said switching to English as a second language was an adjustment.

PLAYING WITH A DEGREE Davis using eligibility following graduation, losing year for team JAKE FOX SPORTS EDITOR | @fakejox3 Jeremiah Davis is used to hearing his name called in the starting lineup of his basketball games. On Saturday, the Ball State guard will hear his name called as he walks across the stage to graduate. Davis, a transfer from Cincinnati, played his first season for the Cardinals last season. He will return to play next season for his final year of eligibility despite his graduation. “It’s great, and it’s a big honor,” Davis said. “My mom, she graduated from Ball State as well.” Davis grew up in Muncie where he attended Muncie Central High School. He transferred, however, to Huntington Prep High School in West Virginia to finish the rest of his career. Huntington Prep is known for its basketball prowess, as it has produced multiple NBA talents. Davis’ play helped earn him a spot at Cincinnati. He
played two seasons for the Bearcats before transferring to Ball State. Two years later, he’s ready to welcome his family and friends from Muncie in celebrating his college graduation. “It’s really great,” Davis said. “You know they’re excited. I’ve got family and friends coming. So I’m excited too. I’ve put in a lot of hard work on and off the court.” He will graduate with a degree in communication studies. Because a student-athlete must partake in schooling while playing a sport, Davis said he will pick up another major — most likely psychology. Starting another degree will be helpful in the long run, he added. But he’s not sure how long he will stay beyond his final year of eligibility. After graduation, he’ll focus on basketball. “Just work as hard as you can,” Davis said. “[I want to] help my teammates in any way possible and just be the best I can be and make everyone on the roster better as well.” Davis played in 20 games last season, starting the final 17. He averaged 7.1

His length also helped on the defensive end, as he led the team in steals. But the most important number is seven. The Cardinals finished 7-23 last season after finishing the season with a 17-game losing skid. Davis and his teammates are looking to change that statistic and improve this season. If all goes as planned, Davis will hear his name called a lot over the next several months. “We’re just honoring the process and working as hard as we can everyday,” DN FILE PHOTOS BREANNA DAUGHERTY Davis said. “And then we go Jeremiah Davis will graduate on Saturday with a degree in communication studies. from there.

A YouTube video of the Ball State football team dressed in superhero costumes went viral with over 108,000 views at the time of publication. The strength coaches hoped dressing up as superheros would be fun for the players.
The video shows several players squatting and yelling in triumph as they complete the lift. “It’s like nothing you’ve ever seen before,” one player says. The video has gone viral on YouTube and Twitter, where it has spread through hundreds of retweets, favorites and shares. When they decided to make a production, Feeley wanted to make it fun without tak-
ing away from the lifting part of the workout. He wanted them to feel as strong as The Incredible Hulk. It wasn’t hard for the players to get into. “The saying turned into ‘hey, let’s get some Hulk hands when the kids chant,’” Feeley said. “It seemed to work. I think the kids got into it.” The Cardinals have worked hard in the weight room this summer, looking to get stronger and improve on the 5-7 campaign last season. Feeley said the team’s squat

Older players, such as former walk-ons Jacob Richard and Nick Plavchak, have also improved since the season ended.

The wood you use for your wand needs to come to a gradual, rounded point at the end so it looks realistic. The best thing to use is chopsticks that you can pick up with Chinese take-out. Or, if you know someone that is handy with power tools, you can ask them to take a wooden dowel rod, anywhere from 12-15 inches long, and shape it into a wand for you. You can get more creative this way by adding dents or crooks in the wood.

Paint your wand any color. I stuck with shades of brown because wands in the wizarding world are fashioned from different types of wood, and wouldn’t realistically be purple or green, etc. But your wand can be as unique as you want. I even mixed shades of brown together for a more rough and rustic look. Let your paint dry for 1520 minutes. You might need to paint half, let it dry standing in your cup and then repeat the process with the other end.

Family: settlement isn’t victory in police chokehold case Relatives of Garner still hope for justice after court’s decision | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — The relatives of an unarmed black man who died after being put in a white police officer’s chokehold said Tuesday that the nearly $6 million settlement they reached with the city wasn’t a victory as they continued pressing for federal civil rights charges. “The victory will come when we get justice,” Eric Garner’s mother, Gwen Carr, said a day after the $5.9 million settlement was announced. “Justice,” added one of Garner’s children, Emerald Snipes,
RENOVATION: | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
Grutsch McKinney said the motivations behind the renovation were to enlarge the space and to make the center more convenient for its employees. The center will share the new space with the English writing program. The secretary will get a centralized desk and staff development and administrator offices will be added. Grutsch McKinney said they hope to offer more tutoring sessions as well. “We always have more students who want appointments than we have space for, and we are partly limited by the physical space we had, because of the noise in there, so realistically we could only do about three
“is when somebody is held accountable for what they do.” The settlement came nearly a year after the 43-year-old Garner died, having repeatedly pleaded “I can’t breathe!” as Officer Daniel Pantaleo took him to the ground with an arm around his neck. Garner lost consciousness and was pronounced dead later at a hospital. Garner had refused to be handcuffed after being stopped on suspicion of selling loose, untaxed cigarettes on a Staten Island street. The encounter, caught on an onlooker’s video, spurred widespread protests. Coupled with police killings of unarmed black men elsewhere in recent months, Garner’s death became a flashpoint in a national debate about relations between police and minority communities.
or maximum four sessions at a time,” Grutsch McKinney said. “Since this will give us a slightly bigger space, we will be able to hopefully offer a little bit more.” Grutsch McKinney said she has requested new computers, and the center may receive new furniture as well. She said she is planning to request a larger budget to hire more tutors to fill the larger center. Emilie Schiess, a junior English education major, has been a tutor at the Writing Center since last Spring Semester and has continued working through the summer. She said the renovations will help her perform her job more efficiently. “I think the environment will be easier to work with. We’re trying to add more modern technology,” Schiess said.
“’I can’t breathe’ spurred the national movement,” and it won’t end “until we change how policing goes,” the Rev. Al Sharpton, a prominent civil rights activist, said at a news conference Tuesday with Garner’s relatives. The city medical examiner found the police chokehold contributed to Garner’s death. But Pantaleo’s lawyer said the officer had used a permissible takedown maneuver known as a seatbelt — not a chokehold, which is banned under New York Police Department policy. A grand jury declined to indict Pantaleo. The U.S. Justice Department and the U.S. attorney’s office in Brooklyn are investigating whether there’s evidence to warrant charges that the officer deliberately violated Garner’s civil rights.
Such cases are rare after grand jury inaction or acquittal at state level. New York Police Commissioner William Bratton declined to comment Tuesday on the Garner case. The settlement came before any lawsuit was filed, though the family had filed notice of its intention to sue. City Comptroller Scott Stringer has made a point of settling some civil rights cases before lawsuits begin, saying resolving them quickly saves the city money on legal fees.

The renovations to the Writing Center in Robert Bell will result in a larger space that will be shared with the English writing program. The Writing Center has also requested new computers and they may even receive new furniture.
Schiess said one of the problems the center faced was that students didn’t know it was there. She said the refurbished look should attract more people to stop by. “We [didn’t] really have
windows ... I think some people come in and they don’t know exactly what we are,” Schiess said. “I think it’ll be more welcoming and people will see, ‘oh, this is a place I can work with.’”

MDTEKK TO OPEN 3RD STORE IN MUNCIE
Two Ball State graduates will be opening their third technology repair shop next week in an effort to expand their burgeoning business. MDtekk, which opened its first location in the Village just last year, will open the doors of it’s third store Monday near the Muncie Mall. The new location will give the business more room to repair devices, said Andrew French, MDtekk manager. The location also offers more visibility for customers and businesses away from the traditional Village crowd, he said. But that doesn’t mean the business owned and operated by two Ball State alumni have abandoned their roots. “We are still definitely going to be here near campus for all those kids that need us,” French said. The store offers 30-minute repairs for things like cell phones and tablets, so long as parts are in stock, and a 30-day warranty on repairs. Zachary Marvel, MDtekk owner, said there is always a need for repairs in a world where nearly everyone has an electronic device in their pocket. “We noticed a demand and a need for an affordable place and a quick place to get your electronics repaired, [especially] with people using their iPads and tablets for books,” Marvel told the Daily News last October. – STAFF REPORTS
