The Daily News DANCE MARATHON
Fundraising goal set at $765,000 This year's objective was inspired by Muncie area code Ben Barry Daily News Reporter The Ball State University Dance Marathon, which has been a campus-wide student organization since 2008, revealed its new fundraising goal on Tuesday. The goal this year is to raise $765,000, compared to last year’s goal of $550,000. BSUDM ended up raising $610,086.23 last year. Matt Hood, BSUDM director of marketing and communications, said he fully expects Dance Marathon to surpass its goal for this year just as it did last year. “We always go in with the intention to spread the goal and eventually surpass it,” Hood said. “What makes [Dance Marathon] so unique is that we work year-round; 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. That’s what separates us from a lot of other organizations that do fundraisers like this.” Dancers spend twelve hours dancing, watching concerts and performances, playing games and hearing families from Riley Hospital for Children tell their stories, according to the BSUDM Facebook page. All money raised is donated directly to Riley, specifically to the Magic Castle Cart, which goes to every room in Riley to give children gifts during their stay at Riley. According to the official BSUDM Twitter, this year's goal was inspired by the Muncie area code. "In honor of 10 Years of Hope, we are going to raise $765,000 in (765) for the kids," the tweet said. Beth Endsley, a senior communications studies major, is excited about being a part of this year’s Dance Marathon. “My favorite part about our dance marathon in particular is how connected we stay with the families, whether you’re on a committee or [you’re] a dancer ... you’re always seeing a family you might recognize,” she said. The Ball State Dance Marathon will take place on Feb. 25, 2017 and donations to the event can be submitted at www.bsudm.org. Contact Ben Barry with any questions or concerns at bpbarry@bsu.edu.
Adulting Muncie Public Library to host classes on how to 'be a better grown-up'
L
Mary Freda Daily News Reporter
earning how to be an adult can be hard for young people, but the Muncie Public Library is hoping to make that adjustment easier. Dennis Everette, the adult services supervisor at Kennedy Library, took notice of this and supplemented the need to figure out how to function as an adult by kickstarting the "Adulting"
program series. These classes are held sporadically from now through November. The topic for the classes include a range of topics like cars, cooking, fitness and travel, but they all have the same end goal: to be a better grown-up. “This idea — be a better grown-up — encompasses the whole thing,” Everette said.

Colin Grylls Sports Editor No bags, no bus, no hotel. Ball State women’s golf finished fourth in the Cardinal Classic Tuesday in the only tournament the team will host all year. Sophomore Sydney Anderson’s family even made the 2-hour drive from Columbus, Indiana, because it’s one of just two tournaments Ball State plays in the Hoosier state. “One of my parents comes to every tournament,
but this one was closer so they pulled my sisters out of school and brought them, which was nice to have them here,” Anderson said. Anderson led Ball State with a three-round score of 220 (4-over-par), tying for ninth place. She said her familiarity with Yorktown’s the Players Club at Woodland Trails, where the tournament was held and where the Cardinals practice each week, helped her feel comfortable after a rough start in the third round. “It helped a lot,” she said. “Not having to worry about like, ‘I wonder where the pitfalls are.’ At this course, knowing them already just eliminated a whole ‘nother side of worry.”

Report finds racial wage gap widest in nearly 4 decades The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — As wages for American workers have stagnated for more than a generation, the income gap between black and white workers has widened, and discrimination is the main reason for the persisting disparity, according to a new report. The Economic Policy Institute also found that young black women are being hit the hardest. This gap remains even after controlling for factors like education, experience, or geography. The wage gap today is “worse now than it was 36 years ago,” said Valerie Wilson, director of the liberal-leaning think tank’s Program on Race, Ethnicity
and the Economy. “For the most part, wages have been fairly flat since 2000, as have incomes and other economic measures,” Wilson said. “As we’ve seen this overall stagnation, those racial disparities have grown.” According to the report released Tuesday, as of 2015, black men living in similar metropolitan areas and regions of the country make 22 percent less than white men with the same education and experience. For black women, the number is 34.2 percent less. Black women made 11.7 percent less than white women. The report calls for several policy measures to address the wage gap.

With 1:44 left in Indiana Fever forward Tamika Catchings’ final regular season home game, she calmly makes her way to the benchfor the final time. A stoppage of play that should typically take a short eight to 10 seconds took three minutes. Three minutes dedicated to Catchings. Every last person in Bankers Life Fieldhouse is on their feet standing, clapping, wearing their #24forever T-shirts and holding up signs that read “Thank you Tamika.” A three minute of reflection on Catchings’ legendary 15-year WNBA career — all spent with Indiana.

Continued from page 1 Head coach Katherine Mowat, however, said playing at home has some pitfalls of its own. “It’s certainly an advantage when we’re so familiar with the course, but what happens is there’s just increased expectations and increased pressure,” she said. “And that’s not something we impose — it kind of naturally happens ... even if you think you’ve done it 1,000 times before, we just have to manage those expectations and emotions as best as possible.” Mowat said she was pleased to see Anderson finish so high on the leaderboard. Mowat also said she was impressed with the leadership she saw from senior Kelsey Sear. Sear finished tied for 19th with a 10-overpar 226, but she climbed 15 spots on the leaderboard on the second day of the tournament, shooting one-over-par (73) in the final round. Like Anderson, she said playing on a familiar course kept her calm.
championship, four gold medals with USA basketball, second all-time in points, first in steals, free throws and rebounds. But that three-minute reflection, for me at least, focused more on what Catchings did off the court. For what she gave to the state of Indiana and for little girls who grew up playing basketball watching one of the alltime greats develop into the legend she now is. Catchings was a giver. That was evident from everyone who spoke at her post game retirement ceremony. She started the Catch the Stars Foundation in 2004, a program that helps low to moderate-income youth throughout the Indianapolis area promoting fitness, literacy and
“It’s pretty straightforward,” she said. “We know the course so well, ... but I think we do have that confidence knowing that we’ve done this a million times so it’s not that hard. Fellow senior Allison Lindley finished two strokes behind with a 228 (10-over-par). She tied for 27th and said most of her teammates felt they could have done better. “It was kind of a little steady, I mean obviously aside from [Anderson] — she was incredible her first two rounds yesterday,” she said. “But I think overall, people wanted to see lower scores from themselves.” As a team, Ball State (+33) was fourth after the first round, fourth after the second and fourth after the third, one stroke ahead of fifth-place Bradley University. Though they didn’t jump anyone on the leaderboards, Mowat said she liked the consistency — especially with five teams, including Bradley, posting sub300 scores in the last round. “We weren’t making any advances on any teams,” she said. “But to hold on our position I think in the end, based on
Ball State offense spreads wealth through 3 games Team does not have 1 'go-to guy' for touchdowns
Jake Fox Football Reporter Through three games, eight different players have scored 11 total touchdowns. Ball State football is averaging 30.7 points per game and 419 total yards per game on its way to a 2-1 record this season. Sophomore quarterback Riley Neal said the key to the team’s success is spreading the ball around. “You don’t have to have one go-to guy,” Neal said. “We have eight different guys who have scored, and that’s at least eight guys — and there’s more than that — that you can count on at any time to make a play.” Neal has thrown to nine different receivers in the passing game this season, led by senior KeVonn Mabon with 17 grabs for 204 yards. But Mabon, the team’s best and most-experienced receiver, doesn’t even have a touchdown yet. With junior Corey Lacanaria out and Mabon injured in the second half of Ball State’s 41-14 win over Eastern Kentucky on Sept. 17, two young receivers — redshirt sophomore Devin Reece and freshman Damon Hazelton Jr. — scored their first touchdowns and joined the Cardinals’ growing list of players with one this year. “I’m sure it hit [Hazelton] kind of fast, I mean the first two weeks he saw some action buy didn’t really get any balls,” Neal said. “Then the first drive he had three catches and the next drive a touchdown. So I’m sure it hit him like a ton of bricks, but that was pretty cool for those guys.” It’s not just the passing game, either. Sophomore James Gilbert has three rushing touchdowns. Senior
Teddy Williamson has two, junior Darian Green has one and Neal ran one in against the Colonels. Williamson is the Cardinals’ veteran in the backfield. A senior and team captain, he has two scores this year after totaling just one in his first three years at Ball State. “First off, it’s a blessing that we’re able to get into the end zone, and it shows that whoever is on the field is going to make that play when it comes,” he said. “Nobody is selfish. Whether that’s another guy, a younger guy, or an older guy, whoever is in the game is going to make that play that comes to him.” The Cardinals even have a touchdown on special teams this year, as freshman running back Malik Dunner picked up a blocked punt in a 30-20 loss at Indiana. Head coach Mike Neu is big on evaluating players in practice, and Dunner earned more playing time that way. “’Hey, you just keep putting it out there in practice. We’ll take notice, and you’ll have an opportunity to make some plays,’” Neu said. “But that’s a good problem to have, when you have that many guys that have touchdowns. That just shows you that it’s an offense that will spread the ball around and get the ball in the hands of your playmakers.” The more games you play, the more film opponents have on you. Neal said the coaching staff works on different ways to run plays so the Cardinals don’t get too predictable. But with all the playmakers they have on offense, he said that shouldn’t be too much of a struggle. “If you’re really successful like we want
to be, you can’t be concerned with who gets touchdowns,” Neal said. “At Georgia State, [Gilbert] and those guys were killing it, and I couldn’t have been happier. It didn’t make me fell any worse that it was those guys scoring touchdowns. I think it’s critical for our success.” Contact Jake Fox with any questions or concerns @FoxJake_.
youth development. She has hosted countless local basketball camps, backpack drives, food collections, charity appearances and even pictures taken with wide-eyed young ballers who have looked up to her from the beginning (yes, me). She has left a mark on the sports world comparable to what Peyton Manning left on the city of Indianapolis. Not to mention they both had professional athlete fathers, went to the University of Tennessee, brought a championship to the state and beloved by their city. The WNBA is not the most watched or attended professional sport. Some people consider it a joke. On Tamika’s night, the Fieldhouse was nearly filled with fans spilling into the balcony —
what I saw a little while ago with the scores, that’s all we can do is really just hang on and have a strong finish.” The Cardinals’ next tournament is the Kzoo Classic, hosted by Western Michigan at the Moors Golf Club in Portage, Michigan, on Oct. 3 and 4. But it’ll just be another tournament on the road. This week in Yorktown, Mowat said, “was special.” “We love traveling,” she said. “We do a lot of traveling, but when we can stay home, sleep in our own beds and go home to our own apartments at night — it’s a different feel for them.” Contact Colin Grylls with any questions or concerns @dn_sports.
all for Catchings. Time and time again Catchings has proven that women not only have game, but can give back at the same time. She engraved her name on the sport of basketball and the state of Indiana bigger than most male athletes can even dream of doing. So that three minutes was to say thank you. Thank you for all that she has done over the past 15 years, the influence she had on the WNBA, her teammates, the community and all young kids that looked up to her like me, was astounding. Athletes, or even people, like Tamika Catchings don’t come around very often. Indiana was lucky enough to have one. For that alone, she is a legend in my book.

Ball State named 'A-plus school for B students'
Samantha Brammer // DN
Ball State was ranked 176th in the nation and fourth best in the Mid-American Conference by U.S. News & World Report’s rankings. It was also deemed an “A-Plus School for B Students” and ranked in the Top 50 Green Colleges by The Princeton Review.
Princeton Review names university a Best Midwestern College Sophie Gordon Daily News Reporter The U.S. News & World Report ranked Ball State 176th in the nation and fourth best in the Mid-American Conference along with deeming it an "A-Plus School for B Students," and The Princeton Review's annual college ratings ranked Ball State in the Top 50 Green Colleges and named it a Best Midwestern College. U.S. News & World Report released its rankings Sept. 13 and named Ball State the 176th best national college (tied with Lipscomb University, Mississippi State University, Montclair State University, Texas Tech University, University of Central Florida and University of New Mexico). Ball State received an overall
score of 32 out of 100. In comparison, University of Notre Dame ranked 15th with a score of 85/100, Purdue University ranked 60th with a score of 59/100 and Indiana University ranked 86th with a score of 51/100. Ball State was also named an “A-Plus School for B Students,” which U.S. News & World Report describes as “If you're a good student with less-than-stellar test scores or a so-so GPA, these are the schools for you” on its website. “I’m not at all surprised because I know Ball State’s a good school, and I feel like we don’t give it enough credit sometimes,” said junior hospitality and food management major Elizabeth Bolinger. “It makes me proud to go here.” The Princeton Review released its latest ratings Aug. 29, and Ball State received a green rating of 99 and ranked 50 out of
the Top 50 Green Colleges. “We didn't put anything in for the Green award, so it really came as a surprise,” said Jim Lowe, associate vice president for Facilities Planning and Management. “It shows what [Ball State is] doing is being looked at, and it's an honor to be recombined for our efforts." The green ranking is determined on a scale of 60-99 and “provides a comprehensive measure of a school's performance as an environmentally aware and prepared institution,” according to the Princeton Review website. The rating is based on: 1. whether students have a campus quality of life that is both healthy and sustainable 2. how well a school is preparing students for employment in the clean-energy economy of the 21st century as well as
for citizenship in a world now defined by environmental concerns and opportunities 3. how environmentally responsible a school’s policies are “Ball State is forward thinking in many ways, and [these rankings] are evidence that we are moving in the right direction for ourselves, our students and the community,” Lowe said. Ball State was also among 156 colleges named Best Midwestern Colleges, which are colleges the Princeton Review considers “academically outstanding and well worth consideration in your college search,” according to its website. Though Ball State was not on the list of Best 381 Colleges, Indiana University, University of Notre Dame and Purdue University were included.

ADULTING Continued from page 1
The idea for the class was presented through patron research. The program series is meant to benefit anyone who needs help with adulting, but MPL strategically started the program in September. With the fall semester beginning at Ball State, Everette saw an opportunity to reach a wider audience. “It started from the fact that we researched our patronage, and we realized that the people that were not coming into the library were basically young adults,” Everette said. “I just saw it as an opportunity to reach out to that group of people. Especially as there was a new group of Ball State freshmen coming in.” While the library is often associated with books, Everette said a library’s capacity reaches far beyond literature when it comes to resources. “Libraries are all about providing information for people and that happens in a bunch of different ways, and events like this are sort of fundamental information about how to be an adult well,” Everette said. While the program series has already held two sessions — elections and money — there are still four sessions students can attend. The third session will be on Oct. 3 at 7 p.m. and will be based around basic car care — something Everette also struggled with as a young adult. “This one time, I accidentally put coolant in the windshield washer fluid tank, and my car totally overheated and caught on fire because it didn’t have any coolant,” Everette said. “If I can help somebody not do that, that’d be good because that was embarrassing.” Everette currently has plans for six sessions, and while two sessions have passed, Everette is hoping to see an increase in student participation in order to keep the program series running. “There’s any number of topics we could do these sessions on, so we’ll see how it goes after the fall,” Everette said. All adulting series programs are free and open to the public. Future sessions will cover cooking, travel and fitness. Students do not need a library card to participate in this program; however, if students are interested in signing up for a library card, they just need to bring their Ball State ID to register.

The Muncie Fire Department and Ball State University Police responded to reports of smoke on Monday coming from the Village Promenade garage. According to firefighters, the smoke came from a driver doing burnouts and driving recklessly inside the garage.
Arrest made in Village Promenade incident Smoke, burning smell in garage prompted call to police Rose Skelly & Victor Hamilton Daily News Reporters Muncie Fire Department and University Police responded to an incident at the Village Promenade parking garage Monday night. Several University Police Department vehicles and six fire department vehicles were present at the scene for more than hour. Responding firefighters initially said there was someone doing burnouts in the garage. Todd Donati, the executive director of the Muncie Redevelopment Commission, said a resident called the
fire department when they noticed a burning smell and saw smoke on the fourth floor of the Village Promenade parking garage. The fire department was able to determine there was no fire, although the fourth floor had a tire mark and smelled of burnt rubber. Village Promenade resident Brittany Jameson, who was walking back from her car at around 10:15 p.m., said when she had left earlier there was a strong smell in the garage. “When I was leaving probably an hour ago, it smelled like fumes,” Jameson said. “I thought something was on fire.” Jameson, a first year graduate student in the landscape architecture program, said she’s always cautious when walking
in the garage. “You have to be careful when you walk through the parking at the Village Promenade because the undergrads, at least I’m assuming they’re undergrads, drive very crazy at speeds that aren’t safe for a parking garage,” Jameson said. “Especially on like Fridays or Saturdays when people are being drunk or being stupid.” Donati said police were able to identify the suspect and an arrest was made. UPD does not currently have a report available at this time. This story will be updated online. Contact Rose Skelly and Victor Hamilton with any questions or concerns at news@bsudailynews.com.

Robbie Moscato-Goodpaster Daily News Reporter To an audience attending a performance, whether it may be a play or a concert, all that is shown are the people under the spotlight. BSU Backstage is all about getting to know the person behind the spotlight. BSU Backstage is a student group that has been around for 10 years and has between 30 to 40 members throughout the year. The club is led by faculty and students who allow those interested in the technical side of theater to engage with one another and their crafts. Violet Smith, a senior design and technology major, has been a part of the group since she was a freshman, and is now in charge of publicity and fundraising for the club. BSU Backstage offers many workshops in which they partner with faculty members or other theatre organizations. All workshops are open to anyone, even if they are not in the club. Some of the workshops and classes include carpentry and lighting classes, which can be great skills for anyone to learn. “One of the most popular workshops would be the flying workshop, where you get handson experience setting up the harness system and then get to try it out,” Smith said. These workshops are free to Backstage members and open to everyone else for $2. Being a part of the club can open up many doors in the theater community for those involved in the group, such as internships

with the Indiana Repertory Theatre (IRT) and Muncie Civic Theatre, which are well-known local theaters that provide references and opportunities. “The club is a great way for students to meet other people in their designated field, as well as a good way to build and create a portfolio in technical backgrounds,” Smith said. The student group is very involved both off and on campus. They participate in activities such as Late Nite, where they occasionally do face painting, as well as create a basket at auction night. “Putting events together is hard work, but when it all comes together and people can enjoy themselves and make friends, then all of that hard work is worth it,” said Jackson Golden, the club's president. BSU Backstage meets every Thursday at 5:15 p.m. in the Art and Communications Building Room 12. A typical meeting involves the group going through the schedule and events and festivals that are coming up, as well as discussing possible fundraising ideas, which the members are encouraged and welcomed to participate in. The money that is raised during these fundraisers helps pay for scholarships that can be awarded to students in the theater department. The club is open to any and all newcomers, even those who are not necessarily majors in the theater department. There is a $5 joining fee for the year, which helps pay for events and workshops the club attends. Being a part of BSU Backstage not only helps build connections

The experience made her appreciate even more the actors and actresses involved in the beginning, she said. “I grew up watching the movie and loved everything about it,” Shockney said. “I was familiar with many of the classic musicals, but ‘The Sound of Music’ was by far one of the best and my personal favorite. The songs she led in the movie were powerful and exciting. Carr’s death has reminded me of her great voice and talent, and I
know many will miss her.” After “Sound of Music,” Carr only had one other major role, when she starred in “Evening Primrose” with Anthony Perkins. She then left the business and became an interior designer in southern California. Some of her clients included Michael Jackson and Ernest Lehman, screenwriter for “Sound of Music.” Carr wrote two books about the “Sound of Music” experience, “Forever Liesl” and “Letters to Liesl.” She also frequently appeared at events commemorating the movie. Many who were involved in the film with expressed their condolences on social
media, including 20th Century Fox. “The Sound of Music lost a beloved member of the family w/ the passing of Charmian Carr. She will be forever missed,” the studio tweeted. Carr was born in 1942 in Chicago. Both of her parents were involved in the performing arts — her mother was a vaudeville actress and her father was a musician and orchestra conductor. She is survived by four siblings, two children and four grandchildren. She is also survived by the other six actors who portrayed the von Trapp children.

The Muncie Animal Care and Education Center opened its new location on Riggin Road on Sept. 9. The center provides animal control services and adoption programs for the community. The new facility is much larger than the old location and can hold about 75 dogs and 150 cats. The animal shelter is open 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday and noon to 3 p.m. on Saturdays.
Animal shelter opens at new location Larger facility is welcoming environment for cats, dogs
Demi Vaughn Daily News Reporter The new Muncie Animal Shelter is now open to the public and houses more cats and dogs than ever before. The Muncie Animal Shelter on 901 W Riggins Road held their ribbon cutting on Sept. 9, and the first day of operation was Sept. 12. The new location was given to the city by a former juvenile detention company that closed and was delinquent in property taxes and payments on a loan.
It cost about $350,000 to remodel, the Star Press reported. Phil Peckinpaugh, the shelter’s director, said the building comes with major improvements, including its size. “It’s a much larger facility that can hold more animals,” Peckinpaugh said. “Right now we’re looking to hold about 75 dogs and 150 cats.” In addition, the animal shelter is offering more community programs for dogs and children. “We can offer more educational and training programs for the animals like dog obedience classes and a reading program for children where they
can actually read to the animals,” Peckinpaugh said. “We couldn’t do all this in the space we had before.” Peckinpaugh hopes the larger size and the bright, colorful walls with large photos of cats and dogs will help attract more volunteers. “It’s much more appealing and in a centralized area, so I have a feeling we will attract a great number of volunteers,” Peckinpaugh said. “ The positivity we will bring to the community is boundless.” For those looking to adopt, Peckinpaugh said the process is fairly easy and simple.
“If someone comes in and sees an animal they like, they have the option to take it out and play with it in a section of the shelter called “Kitty City” which is our two big rooms of cats that people can go inside of and play with the cats,” he said. It’s $100 to adopt a dog and $65 to adopt a cat. Adopters fill out an application and must get approved to pay the fee, and once they do, the process is done. The Muncie Animal Shelter is open 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and noon to 3 p.m. on Saturdays. Contact Demi Vaughn with any questions or concerns at dmvaughn@bsu.edu.
