Get to know Libertarian candidate
Find out where Gary Johnson stands on major political issues PATRICK CALVERT DAILY NEWS REPORTER | pcalvert@bsu.edu While the 2016 presidential race has its major party nominees, a third Libertarian Party candidate has stepped up to say he’s running too. Gary Johnson, former governor of New Mexico, businessman, tri-athlete and mountain climber, is trying to win over GARY JOHNSON middle-of-the-road Democrats Presidential and Republicans, or anyone who Candidate isn’t satisfied with either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton. Johnson, who emphasizes limited government and individual freedom, came to Indianapolis on July 26 for the U.S. Conference of Mayors. Back in April, an Associated Press-GfK poll, indicated a majority of Americans don’t think the candidates for president represent their opinions — not even at least somewhat well. And at least half of Americans said they would be disappointed or even angry if either Trump or Clinton were nominated for president. Because of this, Johnson thinks he might have a shot. “Here’s how crazy this is: I might be the next president of the United States. That’s how crazy this is,” Johnson said. Johnson will be on the ballot in all 50 states come November, and the latest poll from the Wall Street Journal has the presidential candidate polling at 10 percent. However, in order to make it to the polls with the major party candidates, he will need at least 15 percent in five mainstream polls. Johnson has been labeled as fiscally conservative and socially liberal, which can be seen through his views on issues of today’s political atmosphere.

MUNCIE GRAD QUALIFIES FOR PARALYMPICS THIS FALL

randon Mundell, a Ball State alumnus with a business degree of entrepreneurship, has a lot of experience working in a hobby store. Beginning at 16 years old, he worked in a toy and hobby shop called Guptas on Martin and Jackson Streets in Muncie. He also worked at Overland Models before deciding to make a leap in his career. “[Working in entrepreneurship] has been my entire career,” he said In 2007, Mundell started his own shop, called Toys Forever Models and Hobbies, in downtown Muncie.
Swimmer Elizabeth Smith, a graduate of Muncie Central High School, qualified for the Paralympics in four events during the Paralympic Trials in Charlotte, North Carolina, this weekend. Smith, who now trains at Loyola University Maryland in Baltimore, finished first in the 100m butterfly with a time of 1:10.62. She also finished second in both the 100m breaststroke and backstroke with times of 1:32.37 and 1:14.61, respectively, qualifying for the Paralympics in both events. Her time of 1:07.63 in the 100m freestyle was good for fourth and also fast enough to qualify. Smith also holds three American Paralympic longcourse records — the 50m, 100m and 200m butterfly — and finished second in the 100m butterfly at the 2015 International Paralympic Committee World Championships in Glasgow, Scotland. Smith competes under the S9 and SB9 classifications. According to paralympic.org, the official website of the International Paralympic Committee, classes are numbered 1-10, so a lower class like S5 “indicates a more severe activity limitation” than S9. The Paralympics will be in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, – STAFF REPORTS from September 7-18.

At Toys Forever, everything is hands-on; Thinking Putty is out on display for customers to use as a stress reliever, toddlers have blocks to play with, there are model airplanes and trains for adults to see and a vintage soda machine that still works. “We are the neatest store around town, according to me,” Mundell said. “People always find interesting stuff in here during the college age.” Ball State students, especially the architecture students, wander in the store, finding things that interest them. The store also supplies items they need to be able to create projects and models.

STUDENTS TO ACT ‘IN JEKYLL AND HYDE’ ON INDY STAGE
Performances to begin July 8 at Footlite Musicals MICHELLE KAUFMAN REPORTER | mekaufman@bsu.edu Ball State students will soon be taking the stage in Indianapolis as a part of “Jekyll and Hyde” at Footlite Musicals. “Jekyll and Hyde” has been one of junior public communications and theatrical studies major Hannah Janowicz’s favorite shows, and she was cast as an ensemble member for the production. She has been performing since age 10. “This is the first ‘dark’ show I’ve really done. Most of the

plays I participated in had been more upbeat and comedic, whereas this show offers a more macabre feel, which is honestly more my style,” Janowicz said. “This show has been really vocally challenging, as the ensemble’s music is more operatic.” The production has been both fun and challenging, but the reward for Janowicz is knowing she is contributing to the production as a whole. “Even when you are playing the smallest of parts, the overall piece of art you create affects each person in the audience differently,” she said. “It’s wonderful to know I am a part of that.” Janowicz said audience members can expect multi-

Through doing live theater, Seymour has learned to adapt to change and continue to find different ways to tell the story. “Compared to other things I’ve done in the past, everyone is on an almost professional level in this show,” Seymour said. “We had Bradley Reynolds, who is the producer from ‘Something Rotten’ on Broadway, come in and speak to us during a rehearsal. He told us the only things different between professional acting and non-professional acting is getting paid and the time of day you rehearse. I think by the time we open we will have a professional-level show.”

New technology has made large TVs a thing of the past. It is harder to dispose of heavy, large TV sets; places like Goodwill do not even accept them anymore, and retailers, recyclers, and state and local agencies have started charging to dispose of them.
Old TV sets have become difficult to dispose of Students struggle to get rid of bulky, dated televisions
|
DANIELLE WHEAT DAILY NEWS REPORTER djwheat@bsu.edu
Remember those old, bulky TVs that existed before flat-screens? With the new technology available today, they’re a thing of the past, and students are wanting to get rid of them. But today, even if they’re working, the sets are unwanted by Goodwill and other charities, and they won’t get picked up with the trash, making them a hassle to get rid of. These TV sets, packed with bulky and heavy cathode ray tubes (CRTs), have actually been posing a problem across America over the last few years. In 2015, Americans had around 5 billion pounds
worth of CRT TVs in their homes, according to a survey from the Electronics Recycling Coordination Clearinghouse. But not everyone wants these just sitting around. And today, more retailers, recyclers, and state and local agencies have begun charging to dispose of them. Because of this, just off-campus, these TVs can be seen outside of apartment buildings and near dumpsters, but sadly, Muncie’s sanitation department doesn’t want them either. According to the IN.gov website, regulations have been made regarding electronic waste or e-waste. In January 2011, regulations were put on households, schools and small business that made discarding various electronics — including TVs — prohibited. The goal is to keep electronics out of
landfills and promote the reuse and recycling of old electronics. With that being said, it can be extremely hard to find a place willing to recycle the old TVs since Goodwill will not take them. Cindy Graham, Goodwill’s vice president in marketing, said as the laws change, they have to change their ways too. “The reality is that the bulky TVs are costing too much for us to recycle and isn’t bringing in a profit for our stores,” Graham said. “It impacts our mission financially.” If Goodwill will not take them, then who will? Some companies such as Best Buy and HH Gregg will take old TVs — but only if a new one is purchased from the respective store. College students, however, don’t always have the money for a brand new TV. Another way to get rid of
old TVs could be through a “recycle day,” where residents of certain cities can bring unwanted items, like out-dated TVs, to the drop-off site, where they will be taken at no charge. Yorktown, just a 10-minute drive from campus, hosted a Community Cleanup day on April 16. Anyone could bring their old electronics, including those bulky TVs, to the Town Hall for free disposal. While this date has already passed, the city hosts its cleanup day every year. As Ball State students move in and out of town this summer and fall, they might not be able to wait this long to dispose of their unwanted TVs that take up too much space. Luckily there are a few other options, like rummage sales or simply keeping that old TV if it’s in working condition.
MAJORITY OF BALL STATE ALUMNI SATISFIED WITH LIFE AFTER COLLEGE Survey suggests most grads happy with education
|
ALLIE KIRKMAN DAILY NEWS REPORTER aekirkman@bsu.edu
More than 80 percent of graduates from 13 Indiana public and private colleges say their education was worth the cost, according to the results of the first Gallup-Indiana Graduate Satisfaction Survey released by the Indiana Commission for Higher Education. The survey reached out to more than 22,000 college graduates from Indiana colleges that volunteered to participate in the survey, which gave a statewide look at alumni satisfaction. Ball State University was one of the schools to participate in the survey. Results from 4,216 Ball State surveyed alumni who received their undergraduate degrees between 1970 and 2014 found that the majority — around 94 percent — are satisfied with their personal lives after college. The survey also found 84 percent of Ball State alumni strongly agreed or agreed that their education was worth the cost, 81 percent strongly agreed or agreed that their job gives them work to do that interests them and 75 percent said they were extremely satisfied or satisfied with their organization as a place to work.
Kay Bales, Ball State’s vice president for student affairs and enrollment services, said she thought the results from Ball State alumni directly reflect the quality of programs and opportunities offered at Ball State. “I believe Ball State offers a great value to our students. The fact that 93 percent of our graduates are employed or in graduate school within six months of graduating is a positive indication of the high-quality education students receive,” Bales said. “Our academic programs and student engagement opportunities offers students a world-class education and excellent experiences.” Stephanie Wilson of the Indiana Commission for Higher Education said Ball State was impressive among the other universities. “Ball State University showed great leadership by being among the first colleges in the state to sign on to participate in the first Gallup-Indiana survey,” Wilson said. “They understand the value of gathering data directly from graduates about their experience in terms of highlighting the positive experience they already provide as well as identifying areas for improvement in the years ahead.” Major Indiana colleges and universities that did not participate will be negatively affected, she said. “Colleges that did not participate in the Gallup-Indiana Survey will
have incomplete data for their scorecards on all areas that include qualitative input,” Wilson said. “Without this data on alumni satisfaction, the index will leave out the more intrinsic benefits of higher education, providing only quantitative data, such as degree completion rates and earnings after graduation.” In general, Ball State’s results are in line with other colleges regarding “worth the cost” and “interesting work,” she said. While most alumni believe their higher education was worth the cost, that doesn’t always translate into work that interests them. Wilson said the survey does not reflect everything. “What is not yet reflected in the Gallup-Indiana Survey results is the work that many colleges — including Ball State — have done in recent years to provide students more work-based experiences and career support,” Wilson said. “This is because the average age of the survey respondents is high — about 50 years old for Ball State.” She said the ICHE is working now to take a closer look at how more recent college graduates responded to the questions — particularly those about college support, internships and work satisfaction. Though Ball State scored well and was impressive, Wilson said it and the other Indiana universities aren’t necessarily the best they
could be. “There is room for improvement at all our colleges — most notably, ... making sure college students have the kinds of experiences that prepare them for life after graduation,” Wilson said. “In recent years Indiana’s colleges have implemented policies and programs designed to give students more of the support and career-focused experiences they need to be successful in college and afterward. We believe the alumni-feedback provided by the Gallup-Indiana Survey provides valuable insights our colleges will use to drive even greater improvements.” The Gallup-Indiana Survey results will be an important part of the Indiana College Value Index released this fall, according to the Indiana Commission for Higher Education. The index is a first-in-the-nation, comprehensive measure of higher education value that brings together ICHE’s existing data on college readiness, college completion, student debt, employment, average earnings and this qualitative data on graduate satisfaction. “The commission’s goal is to get these results, and the Indiana College Value Index coming this fall, into the hands of families and students to help them make more informed decisions about where to attend college and what to study,” Wilson said.
BALANCING THE BUDGET, TAX REFORM AND CREATING JOBS Johnson wants to stop deficit spending and plans to propose a balanced budget without tax increases if he becomes president. He believes the national debt is the greatest threat to the country’s national security. The presidential candidate sees the tax code as a massive deployment of government force on Americans’ lives, finances and freedoms. He plans to replace all income and payroll taxes with a single consumption tax. Johnson believes eliminating income taxes on businesses will create a tax haven in America that will bring jobs back to the U.S. PERSONAL FREEDOMS The Libertarian candidate thinks government should be limited, and adults should be able to marry whomever they want, arm themselves, make decisions about their own bodies and be able to live life without government agencies intruding on it. The former governor thinks the right for women to do what they want with their body should be respected, and access to health services for women shouldn’t be limited or denied, though when Johnson was the governor of New Mexico he supported a ban on late term abortions. FOREIGN POLICY AND NATIONAL DEFENSE Johnson believes the policies of President Bush and President Obama have made the country less safe and has helped extremist groups like ISIS prosper. The candidate wants the options of boots on the ground and dropping more bombs on the enemy to be replaced with strategies that will isolate extremist groups. He also doesn’t think military resources should be focused on regime change and nation-building. IMMIGRATION The former governor disagrees with Trump on the

He said he wants to make it easier to enter the U.S. legally through a simplified Work Visa Program. ENVIRONMENT Johnson believes the government has a role in protecting the environment but it doesn’t have the role to manipulate the energy marketplace by creating winners and losers. He has said he thinks the free market should be in charge of innovating and inventing ways to produce energy. The candidate believes climate change is real and humans have a hand in it, but he doesn’t believe the government’s current effort in the energy market is making a difference that justifies the cost. CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM AND THE WAR ON DRUGS The Libertarian candidate thinks too many aspects of people’s personal lives have been able to label them as criminals. He’s said he believes there are too many laws that put people in the country’s prison system who don’t need to be there. Johnson believes the war on drugs has failed and advocates for more drug rehabilitation programs instead of incarceration. He supports the legalization of marijuana and believes the states should be the ones to regulate it. The former governor himself has said he’s used marijuana medicinally from 2005 to 2008 after a near-fatal paragliding accident and was also the previous CEO of Cannabis Sativa Inc., which produces medical and recreational marijuana products. Johnson has said he wouldn’t use marijuana if he becomes president.
APPALACHIAN STATE TO JOIN MAC
Ball State field hockey’s first opponent of the 2016 season, Appalachian State, will be a Mid-American Conference rival beginning in 2017. Located in Boone, North Carolina, Appalachian State will be an affiliate member of MAC, competing only in field hockey. Most of the Mountaineers’ other teams, including the football team famous for upsetting the University of Michigan in 2007, will remain in the Sun Belt Conference. The Sun Belt does not sponsor field hockey, however, so after the NorPac Conference folded in 2014, Appalachian State played as an independent program in 2015 and will do so again in 2016. The addition of Appalachian State will up the MAC to eight members in field hockey, including five full member schools (Ball State, Kent State, Central Michigan, Miami and Ohio) and two other affiliate members (Longwood and Missouri State). Though Appalachian State has never been in the same conference as the Cardinals, 2016 will be the fifth consecutive season the two field hockey programs meet. Ball State won the last three meetings, and in 2015 Appalachian State was the only Division I school the Cardinals beat in their 2-16 campaign. – STAFF REPORTS
CLINTON MAY BE CLEAR OF CHARGES On Tuesday, FBI Director James B. Comey said the bureau will not be recommending criminal charges for Hillary Clinton in regards to emails sent on personal systems during her time as Secretary of State. In his announcement, Comey said the FBI does not usually make public recommendaHillary Clinton tions like this. Democratic “In this case, given the importance of the presidential matter, I think unusual transparency is in order,” candidate he said. Comey’s statement explained what the investigators did, what they found and what they would be recommending to the Department of Justice. Comey said there ended up being multiple personal email servers used during Clinton’s four years at the State Department, and older servers eventually became decommissioned. “Piecing all of that back together — to gain as full an understanding as possible of the ways in which personal email was used for government work — has been a painstaking undertaking, requiring thousands of hours of effort,” Comey said. Comey said the investigators did not find evidence that Clinton and her colleagues were intentionally violating laws about the handling of classified information, but he said “they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information.” “For example, seven email chains concern matters that were classified at the Top Secret/Special Access Program level when they were sent and received,” he said. Although the investigators found evidence of “potential violations” to the handling of classified information, Comey said they are not recommending criminal charges for Clinton. “Although the Department of Justice makes final decisions on matters like this, we are expressing to Justice our view that no charges are appropriate in this case,” Comey said. “I know there will be intense public debate in the wake of this recommendation, as there was throughout this investigation. What I can assure the American people is that this investigation was done competently, honestly, and independently.” – STAFF REPORTS

Brandon Mundell, a Ball State alumnus with a business degree of entrepreneurship, has a lot of experience working in a hobby store. Beginning at 16 years old, he worked in a toy and hobby shop called Guptas on Martin and Jackson Streets in Muncie. He also worked at Overland Models before deciding to make a leap in his career. “[Working in entrepreneurship] has been my entire career,” he said In 2007, Mundell started his own shop, called Toys Forever Models and Hobbies,
in downtown Muncie. At Toys Forever, everything is hands-on; Thinking Putty is out on display for customers to use as a stress reliever, toddlers have blocks to play with, there are model airplanes and trains for adults to see and a vintage soda machine that still works. “We are the neatest store around town, according to me,” Mundell said. “People always find interesting stuff in here during the college age.” Ball State students, especially the architecture students, wander in the store, finding things that interest them. The store also supplies items they need to be able to create projects and models. “Our biggest bunch of college students are usually the architecture students,” Mundell said. “We carry most of their supplies to rebuild their models, [and] we give them some discounts.” Sophomore architecture major Noah Porter goes to Toys Forever a couple a times a month to get model building materials for projects.

Maring-Hunt Library offers German Storytime Library volunteer creates program to share culture

MICHELLE KAUFMAN DAILY NEWS REPORTER mekaufman@bsu.edu
Every Monday at 10:30 a.m., Maring-Hunt Library hosts German Storytime, an event created by Melanie Hanser, who has taken a long journey to learn and teach the language. In a store at age 6, Hanser asked her mother why she couldn’t understand what fellow customers, who were speaking a different language, were saying. Her mother explained what languages were, and Hanser became fascinated and decided she wanted to speak a different language. As a 12-year-old, she took a vacation to France and Germany and decided she wanted to learn German. She took
classes in high school and fell in love with the language. After studying German for three years, she went to Germany for a month but discovered she struggled to understand what German citizens were saying. She took German all through college and became an exchange student in Austria. She understood more, but still wasn’t fluent and knew she had to return. Hanser wanted to get a work visa in Austria, but she ended up marrying an Austrian man and moved there. She returned to the States after divorcing the man, remarried in America and had a daughter, Shadow, who is now 3. “I knew I wanted to have my children be bilingual, so my plan was, had I lived and stayed in Austria, to speak English to them. But since I came back here, it switched around and from birth, I have spoke nothing but German to Shadow,” Hanser said. Hanser will correct Shad-
ow’s English and help her translate, but in public and at home, they generally speak German to each other. Hanser’s husband, Kent, has also been learning German and understands what Hanser and Shadow say. In summer 2014, she got the idea to take the songs and stories she was teaching Shadow at home to Maring-Hunt Library and make it into a 45-minute program. She had previously volunteered at the library and was inspired by another story time leader to make her program a German story time. “I had a strong desire to share and give Shadow other children who understand German words,” Hanser said. January 2015 was the first month for the program, and it continues every Monday at 10:30 a.m. The program changes every three months, with the songs and stories corresponding to each of the four seasons. Parents get a pamphlet with the songs and
translations so they can follow along with the program. The program is geared toward ages 6 months to 5 years, but Hanser has found that children who are 4 and 5 struggle the most because of the comparison to words they already know. “I sing the [German] numbers to the ‘Row, Row, Row Your Boat’ tune and they say, ‘But those aren’t the words, that’s not how it goes,’” Hanser said. “It’s like their mind is almost already closed when they hit 4 or 5 and they’re not particularly receptive to learning something else because they’re constantly comparing it to something they’ve already learned and it doesn’t match up.” From other moms who regularly attend the story time, the feedback has been positive, and Hanser wants to spread the joy she has of the German language with others who are interested in and value learning a new language.
assistant director of education at Minnetrista. The class is kept at a maximum of eight students because of the potential dangers involved with glass artwork. Depending on the type of glass art, temperatures needed to heat the glass could be up to 2000 degrees. Only two students at a time will either be doing flamework or soldering, Nickel said. “The camp is well-supervised,” Nickel said. “There are two instructors who have experience with glasswork, and they will work one-on-one
with the students.” There will also be a third instructor who watches the other students not using heat. When the students do glass cutting, there will be three per table. Working with the kiln will be the easiest, because students don’t have to work directly with the heat. Students will also get to take a field trip to the Marilyn K. Glick Center for Glass at Ball State to watch a glassblowing demonstration. Nickel and Victoria Markum will be the primary instructors for the camp. Both have experience working
with glass, having also taught the similar adult course. Teaching students to work with glass is important because Indiana has a history with glass art, Nickel said. “Minnetrista is part of Indiana’s glass heritage because of the Ball jars,” she said. Nickel began organizing the camp in order to give young artists another medium to work in. “Hopefully [the kids who signed up] are kids who have an interest in art,” Nickel said. “Glasswork is another way for them to express themselves.’
