President executes rebrand with new position Chief entrepreneurial officer to push self-driven mentality LAURA ARWOOD STAFF REPORTER | llarwood@bsu.edu
THE SHOT HEARD ’ROUND THE WORLD
At the start of his second year in office, Ball State President Paul W. Ferguson is continuing to focus on entrepreneurial learning, starting with the addition of a new official position. Ferguson appointed Michael Goldsby as the university’s first chief entrepreneurial offiPAUL W. cer. Ferguson’s goal is to make FERGUSON Ball State more student-cenPresident, tered, community-engaged Ball State and a better model for 21st University century research. Goldsby was formerly the executive director of the Entrepreneurship Center, and in his new role he will be working to raise the university’s entrepreneurial capacity. His main focus will be ensuring students receive a broader immersive learning experience and training faculty and staff to become more self-driven in the classroom, Goldsby said. He will be working with Jennifer Blackmer, the new associate provost for entrepreneurial learning. Entrepreneurial learning is a newer concept for Ball State. Ferguson committed to the idea of entrepreneurial learning when he unveiled the Centennial Commitment, his plan for the next three years, during his State of the University address last February. He wants to continue the Ball Brothers’ tradition of philanthropy through entrepreneurship, he said in a recent interview with the Daily News.

our eyes, and we want to provide an opportunity for students to do cool things,” Sullivan said. When Lemuel Turner was picked from the crowd of incoming freshmen to take a free-tuition half-court shot on Aug. 20 during the annual athletics pep rally, he was hesitant to get up from his seat in the bleachers. “I didn’t really want to get on the court at first,” Turner said. “Then a coach pointed at me and asked, ‘You wanna shoot?’ So I was like, ‘Yeah, I guess I’m going to now.’”
Sullivan said the amount of media coverage Athletics has gotten is overwhelmingly positive and is great for the university. “It provides the athletics department and the president’s office a great opportunity to show freshmen when they arrive on campus what athletics is all about,” he said. Although two freshmen have made the shot in the past three years, Sullivan said there are no plans so far to make this promotion any more difficult. “We want to continue this great tradition that is being built before

all State bet a semester’s tuition on a half-court shot and lost, but the exposure gained from the swish more than made up for the difference. “If we were to place a media valuation on something like this, I’d have to think it is stretching well over half a million dollars for exposure for the university,” said Shawn Sullivan, director of marketing and promotions for Ball State Athletics. The shot was picked up by media outlets all across the country, including ESPN and The New York Times. It was also trending on Facebook Thursday and Friday.

Worthen Arena’s new chandelier — a six-panel video board hanging over center court — was installed Aug. 20, replacing a single-panel setup that has been in use. The audio system in Worthen Arena was also upgraded. In all, the project cost about $1.2 million. Ball State athletic director Mark Sandy said the video board will add “flavor” to contests through fan experience and keep facilities upto-date with other Mid-American Conference schools. But the biggest improvement may come in recruiting. “To have a good team and to improve the quality of student-athletes who are coming in, recruiting is maybe first, slightly,” Sandy said. “Then once you have a good team, you have to have a facility that fans want to come and enjoy.” For an older building, the state-of-the-art video board is a big step. Worthen Arena was opened in 1992.

Cleo’s Bourbon Bar will no longer be moving to downtown Muncie—it will be staying right in the Village, where it has always been. Though there was talk about merging Sir Nacho’s Grill and Cleo’s to create Three Amigos, the partnership did not
work out. Now, Cleo’s is being remodeled, and owner Chris Ellison is trying to create a warm, exciting atmosphere. In the next few weeks, Cleo’s will be adding a Cajun and Creole menu to its services. Ellison said he is excited for the new food. “Our excitement is knowing there is no Cajun food here [and] there is no Creole food here [currently],” Ellison said. “We can be that niche.” Ellison and his team are working on jambalaya, gumbo and étouffée dishes for Cleo’s. They hope to gain approval from the Department of Health within the next 30 days. Once they have been approved,
the bourbon whiskey bar will have specials each day. Ellison wants to make sure the food is affordable with low prices, he said. The establishment is meant for those over 21 years old; however, Ellison plans to use the side window where Sir Nacho’s used to be as a place where anyone of any age can order food. Cleo’s has been open through the whole summer and will continue to be open during its changes. The hours will also extend with the addition of the Cajun food. It will be open from 4 p.m. to 3 a.m. Tuesday through Sunday once it starts serving its new menu. THE PULSE OF BALL STATE

The Cup serves as a place to get coffee, as well as a meeting place. When the business opened in 2012, that was owner Martin George’s plan.
Re-establishing human connection Coffeehouse doubles as meeting place since 2012 EMILY CUNNINGHAM STAFF REPORTER
For many people, a coffeehouse is merely an extension of the office, or a place to stop and grab breakfast on the way to class. For others, the idea of a coffeehouse represents much more than that, especially on or near a college campus. It’s a connection point – a place to meet up with new or old friends, have a drink together and enjoy real conversation. The Cup, located in the heart of the Village, is the place to do just that. That was owner Martin George’s vision when he opened his business in 2012. There were no independent coffee shops in Muncie before The Cup opened. The MT Cup (formerly located in the space The Cup occupies now) and The Blue Bottle both closed in 2011 and left Muncie a college town with no independent coffee shops. That wasn’t what George had hoped for. “I couldn’t let that happen. I didn’t want to see everything go corporate,” he said. George believes a coffeehouse has more to offer in the way of meeting people than a bar or nightclub. Meeting people in a bar is easy, but connecting with

them is a different story, he said. Former Ball State sociology student Josh Mang knew he’d always find a friendly face at The Cup. “At first it was just convenient, and the coffee and bagels were fantastic. But there was always someone to talk to, someone new to meet,” said Mang. Connecting with people is one of George’s favorite parts of running the place. Customers and staff have become family to him. “I’ve had some really excellent staff over the years, and I still do now,” said George. “And we have regulars, they become like extended family. You know what’s going on with them – the grades, when they’ve broken up with their boyfriend, what’s going on at home. You really get to know these people.”
The Cup offers more than coffee. George serves tea and craft soda, too, and offers a full menu that offers breakfast all day. Once school is back in session, Saturdays reserve a place in the menu for biscuits and bacon gravy. “I really like it, and it’s been such a big deal since we’ve been here,” said George. The biscuits and bacon gravy and Chocolate City iced mocha are George’s top picks. As a tribute to the MT Cup, George and his team made a conscious effort to recreate as much as they could from the original shop while keeping the intention of a fresh, new business. “I really like the atmosphere. I could drink coffee there all day,” said senior economics major Jared Green. “It’s ridiculously convenient and a really cool place to chill.” Making an effort to re-establish the ideal coffeehouse atmosphere and get people together face-to-face is a big deal to George. He wants The Cup to be a place for people to get to know each other, outside of electronics and social media. “In a world that doesn’t encourage that, we are happy to be that,” said George.
After mapping the location of the 7,400 trees on Ball State’s campus, Michael Planton, the director of Ball State’s arboretum, is ready for students to finally stop and appreciate them. The arboretum (a collection of cataloged and inventoried plants for those who aren’t in the “know” when it comes to botany) recently announced the launch of its tree trails program. The five tree trails aren’t like the newly renovated Botsford/Swinford residence halls – a fairly obvious change to the way campus looks. Students won’t notice anything different as they hustle from building to building. Instead, Planton and the rest of the arboretum committee have created routes utilizing Ball State’s existing sidewalks and paths. These trails, all around one mile in length, will pass by different kinds of trees – all listed on maps available through the university’s website. Planton said he thinks the program will help Muncie locals and transplants see new value in leafy assets that Ball State has possessed for years. It’s not the first time the university has attempted to spotlight its trees. “Back in the early ’90s, there was a reforestation
about others besides yourself. » JOHN TAYLOR, Arboretum Committee Member
committee on campus, and they had developed tree trails and we had them marked,” said Planton. Poor signage and vandal squirrels led to the early demise of the first crusade for the trees. It wasn’t until a yearand-a-half ago that Planton began tearing down the last of the unintelligible remnants from that first attempt. He also started re-identifying and mapping every tree. In July, Planton’s efforts entered a new chapter when the Ball State arboretum gained accreditation from ArbNet, an organization that unites arboreta from all over the world. Ball State’s arboretum is now required to educate the public and maintain a committee. John Taylor is one of the arboretum’s four committee members. He also manages Christy Woods, a 17-acre forest on the southwest corner of campus. Students of all ages use Christy Woods for educational purposes, but Taylor maintains that learning about trees, whether through his forest or on a tree trail, is for everyone, not just scholars.

Ball State has mapped the location of the 7,400 trees on campus. Students can now walk the tree trails throughout Ball State’s campus and see the types of trees on five different trails.
Taylor hypothesizes that rejecting the natural world makes a person “less human.” “When you feel like you are part of a larger context of living, of something alive, you tend to care more about others besides yourself,” he said. Planton, on the other hand, recommends the trails for simpler purposes: a way to escape the residence halls or a guide for potential home landscaping. Whatever a user’s motivation, the trees might become easier to find later this year, as Planton plans to release a tree trail app.

‘Deep hunger’ driving Cardinals
Goalkeeper coach, 14 new players freshen roster DAN HAUGHN STAFF REPORTER | @LieutenantDan11 After two straight 11-win seasons and coming up one game short of the Mid-American Conference Championship last year, the Ball State soccer team is hungry for more. The Cardinals’ 1-1 start this season has head coach Craig Roberts ready to see his team take the next step. “We were deeply disappointed last year after the Buffalo loss,” he said. “But there is a deep hunger inside of us to get one step closer
this year.” Roberts is focused on his team getting better each day rather than setting long-term goals. A MAC title is the ultimate goal, but he knows improving every day is what will elevate his team. The Cardinals led the MAC in goals scored last season, but defense is where Roberts wants to see improvement. To help, Ball State hired new goalkeeper coach Jason Balach. Starting goalkeeper Alyssa Heintschel returns as a sophomore this season. “[Balach] brings a new perspective to our team, and gives a really good balance between me and my assistant Marcie Klebanow,” Roberts said. “He has only been with

The Cardinals have scored four goals in two matches thus far, all coming in a season-opening 4-0 win over Jacksonville State.

Bannon has had to call the fire department twice to extinguish a stump in her front lawn that has caught fire. “I just looked out our window and was like, ‘Oh, our stump is on fire—again,’” Bannon said. “So we went out, poured water on it and waited for the fire department to get here. We had to make a police report and everything.” People would also come and set up lawn chairs on Bannon’s driveway, park cars on their property and sit on Bannon’s and her roommates’ cars while smoking. “I don’t think they’ve ever actually come up on our porch, but they’ve got-

After two years of being a tobacco-free campus, Ball State has added a designated smoking area to the edge of campus, adjacent to Petty Road. Except for this small area, the campus will remain tobacco-free. Since the ban was implemented, smokers would gather on the borders of campus, in areas like Petty Road, sometimes disrupting those who live in that area. Kay Bales, director of student affairs, said in an email to the university the smoking area was designed because of “a responsibility to be a good neighbor.” Talia Bannon, a resident of Petty Road and senior fashion merchandising major, welcomes the new boundaries. Bannon has lived there for

Goldsby to chief entrepreneurial officer. “I’m excited. I love it … I have to grow into the new role, and I have to be entrepreneurial myself, so I’m learning too,” said Goldsby. In order to give more students an immersive learning experience, the shape of classroom learning will change. Ball State is known for immersive learning, but only around a quarter of students were able to participate in it in the past, Ferguson said. “More faculty will be involved, certainly more students will be involved,” Ferguson said. “Every student will have an entrepreneurial learning experience.” Ferguson is also focused on completing the brand

We all want to be entrepreneurs to move this university forward.” Ferguson plans to make Ball State the go-to Indiana school for entrepreneurship, much like Purdue University is for engineering and Indiana University is for their medical school, Goldsby said, which led to the decision to elevate

ten close,” Bannon said. “One time it was the middle of the night and my roommate pointed out that someone was in our front yard doing flamethrower things. This guy was just playing with fire in our yard. It was so weird.” Bannon and her roommates found out about the new smoking section from the campus-wide email. They did not request the

refresh this fall. After the university dropped the “Education Redefined” slogan last spring, it will now be looking to the community to help pick a new brand. The Ball State website also has a new look since the start of the semester. Community sessions to choose from a few proposed font and color schemes will be announced in the first week of the fall semester, said Julie Hopwood, the interim vice president of strategic communications
and senior adviser to the president. “We need to conduct those listening sessions rather quickly, but we definitely wanted to wait until the fall term so that students and faculty could really be involved in that,” Hopwood said. “That’s not going to be a six-month process because ... we really want that refreshed look.” After the brand refresh, the Centennial Commitment planning team will focus on student success.
was to alleviate safety concerns and address complaints the university has received, Bales said. “Over the last two years, we have received complaints about the number of people gathering on the roadway at a given time
that would impede traffic, as well as people standing and littering on private property,” Bales said. “There are defined boundaries around the smoking area, so it is very clear what constitutes the designated smoking area.”
One of Ferguson’s goals to meet by 2018 is to reach a 50 percent graduation rate, which is 14 percent higher than the university’s current rate. “It’s a huge leap,” Ferguson said. “It will be a huge success, but we want to do better. We want to get that goal.” In order to boost the graduation rate, a student success council will be created this fall with administrative representatives to search for the best way to meet students’ needs to help them graduate on time. Looking forward to the end of the upcoming school year, Ferguson predicted there will be evidence of visible improvement with the Centennial Commitment goals.
“I think some of our best practices of how we run ourselves as an institution, being contemporary and cutting edge, will be much more visible [at the end of this year],” he said. “You’ll be able to see that; it will not just be talk.” Ferguson said his and Ball State’s attention will stay on student success, and he hopes the student body takes advantage of the distinctive Ball State experience. “I would want every one of you to know and have the same feeling that I have that, being here at Ball State, you can develop the experience and the education to achieve whatever dream you’ve got,” he said. “And that’s not a brag, that’s just a fact.”

University nearing completion TUITION: of campus geothermal system
| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
Final stage begins, projected to finish in 12-14 months ARWOOD STAFF REPORTER | LAURA llarwood@bsu.edu Ball State is getting close to being heated entirely through the nation’s largest geothermal system. The university’s effort to switch over to a geothermal heating and cooling system is in its final stages after construction on Riverside Avenue wrapped up in early August. During the construction, the university installed a water distribution system that loops around DeHority Complex. This water distributor connects to piping that can heat and cool a majority of campus, said Jim Lowe, director of engineering, con-

struction and operations. “The whole project is undertaken in little phases,” Lowe said. “So there have been multiple projects and the final pieces will be put together in the next 12 to 14 months.” In addition to the Riverside construction, geothermal heating in West Quad, Burkhardt Building and Ball Gymnasium was completed over the summer. The Administration Building will be heated by the first of September, Lowe said. Robert Koester, director of the Center for Energy
Research, Education and Service, has been involved in the project with Lowe. Koester’s role is focusing on removing carbon emission from Ball State and other companies entirely. When the project began in 2008, the goal was to reduce Ball State’s yearly energy consumption by 175,000 square British Thermal Units (BTU), the amount of energy needed to change the temperature of water by one degree Fahrenheit. “Think of it this way — one BTU is a hot air balloon full of carbon, and we’ve eliminated 85,000 hot air balloons so far,” Koester said. “Once it’s fully operational, we won’t be belching all that crap into the atmosphere anymore.” The geothermal project is the largest ground energy storage system in the country, according to energy. gov. Because of this project,
BSU has been recognized as the 50th greenest college in the country in the Princeton Review. President Paul W. Ferguson is the vice chair on Ball State’s Council on the Environment, and he said Ball State is in a good position to be a leader in national sustainability. “I think Ball State is going to continue to be a very strong leader in sustainability,” Ferguson said. “We’re highlighted in the state of Indiana as one of the greenest campuses and I am very proud of that. I am proud to carry on that very good tradition.” The final project will take place in summer of 2016, involving construction on University Ave. The construction will include Burris Laboratory School, the L.A. Pittenger Student Center, Lucina Hall, Elliott Hall and Wagoner Complex.
Turner originally wanted to sit in the middle of the crowd, but was convinced by his friends to move into the front row of the stands. Despite playing four years of varsity basketball in high school, Turner said he’s always been the last pick when it came time to play around with half-court shots, and trying to make one on the spot wasn’t in his plans. “I had no intentions of getting picked to go onto the court, and I walked out there with no idea about what could happen,” Turner said. When it came time for a warm-up shot, Turner said “everything changed.” After he hit the rim of the basket on the first try, the crowd began cheering and chanting. Turner said it was the first time he had confidence before attempting a halfcourt shot. “When I was on the court, I didn’t really realize how many people were in my class until I saw it for my-
self,” Turner said. “The support from my peers in that moment was surreal.” Turner dribbled the ball, and after a couple of deep breaths, he took the shot. “It went right in the basket,” Turner said. “Oh my gosh, it was just absolutely crazy. It became the best thing that’s ever happened to me.” By making the shot, Turner was awarded free tuition for his second semester at Ball State. After the shot, Turner called his mom right away. “She was so happy, and I know it brought a lot of happiness and excitement to the both of us,” he said. Turner is a business major from Vernon Hills, Ill., and a member of Ball State’s men’s volleyball team. After the pep rally, Turner said he’s already feeling motivated for the year to come. “It’s this fun and encouraging atmosphere that really brought me to Ball State, and I love how exciting it’s been for me so far,” Turner said.
