The Daily News School of Music hosts saxophone festival

Saxtemberfest gives students experience, chance to network Margo Morton Copy Director Since Thursday, Ball State saxophonists have gotten the chance to meet and play with multiple world-famous musicians. It’s all part of Saxtemberfest, an annual event series for student musicians celebrating its 20th anniversary. Nathan Bogert, assistant professor of music performance (saxophone), believes Saxtemberfest to be in its 20th year, though the origin of the series has been questionable. He said he knows Saxtemberfest was started by a previous professor in the ‘90s, and he even experienced it as an undergraduate here himself, but no one is sure of the original beginning. Bogert has been trying to make the event bigger and better each year since 2014, when he started at Ball State as a professor. Saxtemberfest used to be a day, but has grown and is now spread out into nearly two weeks this year. Saxtemberfest brings in professional saxophonists to lead master classes, where students can get help with pieces they are working on. There are also recitals by both students and the visiting professionals. On Saturday, Preston Duncan led a master class in Sursa Performance Hall. Duncan currently teaches saxophone at the University of Minnesota and earned his Bachelor of Arts in saxophone performance at Indiana University. He has also completed an Artist Diploma and a master's degree in saxophone performance. Gabriel Sanchez, a first year graduate student in saxophone performance, had the chance to perform a piece he is working on in front of the class and received feedback from Duncan on how to improve his technique. “It’s a really unique experience,” Sanchez said. “You get the full experience of playing in front of people. It feels more complete.” Saxtemberfest is also a way for the music students to network in their field. Lamont Webb was an undergraduate at Ball State the same time as Bogert and is now earning his Artist Diploma. He said being able to meet with professionals has benefits beyond learning a piece. “The great thing is that it opens up a door for everyone. We’re setting up a network,” Webb said. “The more people [Bogert] brings in, the more options we have for education, networking and money.” All Saxtemberfest events are free and open to the public. There are two more recitals and two master classes for this year’s event. Contact Margo Morton with any questions or concerns at copydesk@bsudailynews.com.

Saturday's win gives team 3-1 record heading into MAC schedule Jake Fox Football Reporter

Ball State’s first season is over, and there have been a lot more positives than negatives. The Cardinals won 31-27 at Florida Atlantic Saturday to finish the nonconference portion of their schedule with a 3-1 record. Three wins already matches last season’s total with still two-thirds of the regular season left to play. Whether it’s a road game against Florida Atlantic or next week’s home matchup with Northern Illinois, head

coach Mike Neu said it doesn’t matter. “We expect to win every game,” Neu said. “When you have one game at the end of the week and seven days to prepare, they’re all precious. Every one of them you look at the same way — they’re all must-win.” A quick refresher — Ball State beat Georgia State 31-21 in Week 1 and fell behind big in Bloomington the following week, losing 30-20 to Indiana. The Cardinals dominated Eastern Kentucky in their home opener 41-14 and scored a late touchdown to upend Florida Atlantic. The Cardinals are 2-1 on the road this season, the first time they have won two of their first three road games since the 2013 season. Ball State went on to finish 10-3 that year.

Every issue we take a look at a national or worldly topic and get student commentary on what's happening around the globe.

Anthem protests spread to colleges, WNBA player sits The Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) — Liberty guard Brittany Boyd sat on the bench with her head bowed in prayer during the national anthem before a WNBA playoff game. College football players for Michigan and Michigan State, along with a group of students at North Carolina, raised their fists during the playing of “The Star-Spangled Banner” on Saturday. Since 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick refused to stand for the anthem before NFL preseason games, citing racial injustice and police brutality, his movement has slowly spread across fields and courts in the U.S. On Saturday, college and professional athletes joined together

to follow his lead after a week punctuated by riots in Charlotte, North Carolina, and the killing of an unarmed black man in Tulsa, Oklahoma. “I choose not to stand up and I sit down and pray,” the second-year guard said. “Colin and his message about social injustice going on in this country today is something I believe needs change.” Three Michigan State players held their right fists in the air while standing on the sideline before the No. 8 Spartans hosted No. 11 Wisconsin. “Whether somebody salutes, puts the hand over their heart or does something else, everybody has a choice to make,” Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio said.

Sophomore telecommunications major Briar “The En?gma” Curtsinger started the new web series “Paradox Ink.” The web series will showcase the stories behind the tattoos of Ball State students.

New web series 'Paradox Ink' shows student tattoos

Telecommunications student tells stories of students' ink Patrick Calvert Politics Reporter One student has created his own webshow to showcase the stories behind the tattoos of Ball State students. The webshow, called "Paradox Ink," released a promotional video on Facebook on Sept. 18 that has amassed more than 2,400 views in less than a week. The webshow is inspired by shows like "Ink Master" and "Miami Ink." Briar Curtsinger, a sophomore telecommunications major and founder of the new webseries, hosts the show and plays an edgy, alternative and reckless character named The En?gma. Curtsinger has worked on The En?gma character most of his life and said the personality is a “culmination of everything I’ve seen and everything I’ve always wanted to be.” He sees the character as an embodiment of his own “schizophrenic ramblings” and compares the personality to a “beautiful masterpiece of art.” He described the character as artistic, secluded and interested in metal music. “He is secluded but he is the life of the party. He hates people yet people like him,” Curtsinger said. If "Paradox Ink" ends up being successful, Curtsinger would like to expand on The En?gma character through an independent webshow. “The En?gma isn’t going to be exclusive just to 'Paradox Ink.' It’s something I live my life as. I live the character. That will be around in almost everything I do,” he said. The webshow was originally called "Ball State Ink," but the name has since been changed due to legal reasons. “I didn’t realize the name Ball State is copyrighted and I didn’t ask permission for it,” Curtsinger said. “I didn’t want to disrespect the school anyways. I love my school.”

The webshow only has the promotional video, which was completely improvised, published so far but the first episode is expected to be available on Facebook and YouTube in about three weeks. The guests for the first few episodes are people Curtsinger already knows. He hopes more people become interested after the first couple of episodes are released. The reaction from Ball State students has been positive and students are getting excited for the first episode. Clark Hutchings, a sophomore undecided major, has three tattoos and said he likes the concept of the web show. “I have watched tattoo shows in the past and this does seem interesting, not to mention that it’s something Ball State related,” Hutchings said. “It would be something I’d watch.” Emily Whitten, a freshman psychology major, has a tattoo that represents how her dad and herself are alike. She liked the promotional video and is interested in the stories behind people’s tattoos. “I think the show is a great idea because I always wonder what people's tattoos mean since mine has so much meaning to me," Whitten said. “I also think it would be great for people around Ball State to see their peers and get an understanding of people they don't even know.” Adam Shaver, a freshman social studies education major, believes the show will appeal to millennials in general because many have tattoos. “This generation likes tattoos a little bit more [than the older generation] and people are becoming more accepting to the idea,” Shaver said. “He is going to be on the frontline making it better for this generation and its culture.” You can learn more about the new webshow on its Facebook page.

Mindful Meditation sessions are currently being held across campus at both the Rinard Orchid Greenhouse and at selected times in the David Owsley Museum of Art (DOMA). Students meet and gather in the serene settings with experienced instructors to practice a variety of meditation techniques and learn to clear their minds. One program, Meditation in the Museum, is an initiative led by the Ball State Counseling Center and DOMA. The goal is to teach students how to relax their bodies and minds, add positivity to their days and let go of physical tensions, according to the program overview. The meditation time also allows students to relieve daily stresses and anxiety through mindful practice. Meditation, according to Psychology Today, is a proven way to heighten mental clarity, improve concentration and increase life satisfaction. It also has been shown to have many positive physical effects on the body, including slowing the process of aging and benefiting cardiovascular and immune health. Ball State’s sessions are presented as secular practices and aim to provide balance and stress relief to students. Cait Williams, a freshman telecommunications major, attended a meditation session earlier in the month and said the experience made her week go by much more smoothly. “It was really calming,” Williams said. “I was super stressed out about homework and stuff, especially being a freshman in my first few weeks, so that really helped a lot.” Other students agreed. According to Nick Dennings, a junior speech pathology major, the unique setting adds to the serenity of the session. “You’re fully immersed in nature, and it helps you just chill out and be zen,” Dennings said. “I like that it’s

in the greenhouse rather than like the middle of the school. It gives you a lot more focus.” Midweek meditations will also continue to be held in the Rinard Orchid Greenhouse throughout the semester on Tuesdays from 3:30 p.m to 4:45 p.m. Interested students should gather in Christy Woods before they’re taught various meditation techniques. The 45-minute sessions include practice of seated meditation, walking meditation, proper sitting techniques and various energy healing and balancing positions.

DEMASKING DAMASK Mariah Thatch Daily News Reporter Four years ago, the Muncie area was at a loss for Mediterranean food. It was a void local business owner Basam Helwani decided to fill. Damask, a café located across the way from Scheumann Stadium, provides Mediterranean food and customs to the inhabitants of Muncie. Helwani started Damask in 2013 when his daughter moved to the area and she told him there was no place to get Mediterranean food here. He decided Muncie would be a good place to start another restaurant based on his daughter’s want for one and a focus on healthier eating. “When I first moved here a lot of people had no idea what falafel is or what hummus is, so now it’s really a global trend of healthy eating, rich in olive oils and garlic,” he said. Helwani is originally from Damascus, Syria, which is were he got the restaurant's name. The menu consists of Syrian-inspired dishes that range from flank steaks,

salads, baklava and kufta. “What we are trying to do is bring a culinary eatery, kinda European and Mediterranean food to the Muncie area.” Since its opening, Damask has won Taste of Muncie twice. Hookah is a big part of Mediterranean

culture. Damask provides hookah and outdoor seating to comfortably accommodate that feature. The café appeals mostly to business professionals, Ball State faculty and a select group of college students, Helwani said. In early 2016 Halwani decided to buy

property in the village, retrofitting The Locker Room into what is now known as Two Cats Café. Sydney Matic, a junior psychology and criminal justice major, has been working at Damask for two years, and also worked at Two Cats when it opened. “The environment is great and I enjoy working with everyone here," Matic said. "Basam really makes working here a great experience and he works with my school schedule very well.” Damask is open Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. until 9 p.m., Friday and Saturday 11 a.m. until 10 p.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m. until 8 p.m.

Students share roommate horror stories Victor Hamilton Daily News Reporter Everyone’s heard some version of the roommate-from-hell story. Megan Little, a junior business analytics major, has hers: a roommate with extreme passive-aggressive behavior. “She only communicated to me by writing passive-aggressive notes on our mirror and locking me out of the room,” Little said. “Once she told me there was a two-hour delay and there wasn’t, so I missed class.” Little, who decided to live with a random roommate in Woodworth Complex her freshman year, was hopeful about making a new friend — but it wasn’t long before she regretted her decision. “I would hang out off campus a lot with people, just to avoid the room,” she said. Jessica Ball, a sophomore elementary education major, lived in Studebaker East for her first year of college. Ball did not appreciate living with her roommate who she described as “a second mom.” “She was older than me and I missed class one time and she yelled at me for it, [even though] she missed class all the time,” Ball said. “She just like wanted to know everything about me and when I didn’t tell her something she went to my [resident assistant] and we had to have an RA mediation.” Unfortunately for Ball, one meeting wasn’t enough and she ended up having three RA mediations in one semester. One meeting was three weeks before the end of the semester. “That was really annoying because I was going to move out in two weeks so why did she care that much to get my RA involved,” she said. Ball said spending all of her time with her roommate did not help the situation. “My main mistake was hanging out with her all the time,” she said. “We tried to be best friends and rooming with your best friend does not work out.” Even though going random is what caused her to have her first bad roommate experience, Ball went random again this year and said the second time around has been a much better experience. “She’s just totally laid back and we just do our own thing and it works better than it did last year,” she said. Some roommate horror stories arise from an overall lack of consideration for other people. Ben Williams, a sophomore

TORCH RELAY Continued from page 1

The 24 torchbearers were chosen by a committee out of a pool of 60 nominees, said Nancy Carlson, one of the Delaware County Coordinators for the Indiana Bicentennial Torch Relay. Stan Sollars, a telecommunications professor at Ball State, will run the torch from Kinghorn Hall, turn left onto McKinley and run to the Scramble Light where he will hand it off to Jeff Bird. Sollars thinks he was nominated because of his close ties with Ball State and because of his battle with cancer. “I had a close encounter with cancer two years ago, and right now two years ago I was going through chemo and radiation for a lower esophageal tumor and thankfully it did not spread, it was all in there, they got it all out and I’m clean and clear as day,” Sollars said. Although Sollars considers himself healthy and will be running during the

telecommunications and journalism major, lived with a roommate who was very inconsiderate. “He vaped in the room all the time,” Williams said. “I was never able to have people over because of the conditions of the room and it was just a bad situation.” Williams said his worst incident with this roommate came after he returned back to the room after being gone for a weekend. “He had two of his buddies over and I was cool enough to be like ‘yes they can sleep in my bed, I don’t care’,” Williams said. “ I came back, it was 1 a.m. and I was working on a paper, and when I put my hand up to climb in bed I put my hand in throw up. I freaked out on him but he just kind of brushed it off.” Danielle Cahill, a junior speech pathology major, transferred to Ball State and thought living in the dorms would help her meet and make new friends. Unfortunately, things did not go exactly as planned. Cahill and her roommate moved to Woodworth early second semester after

their beds collapsed in LaFollette Complex. “We were already kind of having issues because she never cleaned up after herself and never respected my space,” Cahill said. “She would have guys over and I would walk in on them. I could never study in my room.” The breaking point for Cahill came when things started going missing. “My mom had been sending me gift cards to Walmart for groceries and stuff and they just kept coming up missing,” Cahill said. “I was talking to my best friend about it and he was like ‘Dan, you have to be real here. Where else would they be going?’” After her roommate went downstairs to eat, Cahill took a peek in her wallet and found the missing gift cards. “She was taking the Walmart gift cards and having someone go buy her alcohol with it,” she said. After confronting the roommate, the roommate admitted to also taking cash and even her laundry quarters. “All I could say is lock up your wallet” she said. “It’s hard because you just don’t

think you would have to do that when you are living with someone, you think that you could trust them and they wouldn’t get into your wallet while you were in class.” Not all roommate horror stories happen in the dorms. Rebecca Foster, a junior elementary education major, thought living off campus would save her from having a bad roommate. She was wrong. After one of her friends graduated, Foster and her roommates had to find another girl for their apartments at Beacon Hill. They decided to pair up with a friend of the previous roommate who had just moved out. “She moved in and it turned into a nightmare,” Foster said. “She would use my toothpaste and my shampoo and conditioner and it really ticked me off. It got to the point where she would sneak into my room to get them.”

torch relay, he is not nor was ever an avid jogger. While attending a jogging class at Ball State years ago, Sollars had to run two miles in under 14:30. “I did it in 14:21 and promptly vomited after," Sollars said. Sollars also said he will be representing not only Ball State and people who have been affected by cancer, but also the history of Indiana. “I feel very fortunate to be able to do this, not only to physically come back with a lot of help from a lot of people from the cancer, but also just glad to be a part of history and represent positive aspects about the state.” The idea for a torch ceremony was based on the Olympic torch ceremony, said Carlson. “Indiana achieved statehood in 1816, so this is the 200th anniversary of statehood. In order to celebrate, the state tried to figure out what the most people could go to. And most people aren’t going to go to a gala ball or a dance, or they won’t go to the statehouse to a meeting," Carlson said. "What most people can go to is a torch relay

that would go through their own county.” According to the Indiana Historical Society, the torch represents liberty and enlightenment. The torch used in the relay was developed by Purdue University and is equipped with GPS tracking and a video camera inside. The video of the torch being run through Delaware County will be gathered and produced into a documentary by a Ball State immersive learning class led by telecommunications professor Chris Flook. The class focuses on the bicentennial and the torch relay. The documentary will be unveiled on indianatorchrelay.com on Dec. 11, which is the day in 1816 when Indiana gained statehood. Nicole Lehrman is a senior telecommunications video production major and is one of three directors of photography for the Bicentennial class. “I’ve lived in Indiana all my life so it would be a good way to help celebrate the bicentennial,” Lehrman said. One of the things that surprised her while covering the torch relays of various

counties is the outpouring of support from Indiana communities. “It really surprised me my first couple of days, just seeing everyone smiling and everyone really, really excited about the torch. Some of these smaller counties and some of the smaller towns that we visit have never had anything this big happen in their town," Lehrman said. “There have been a lot of older people coming out and saying it was one of the best days of their lives.” The class posts pictures, videos and stories daily on social media, including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Rematch sees Cardinals come out on top Ball State pulls narrow victory over Akron during weekend Jacob Lee Soccer Reporter Ball State’s rematch against Akron Sunday was the redemption Ball State was looking for after the Cardinals were eliminated from the Mid-American Conference Tournament by Akron in penalty kicks. Still, head coach Craig Roberts said he expected more out of his team than a 1-0 victory, especially after Friday’s 1-0 win over Buffalo. “I think [Friday] was one of the most delivered, tactical games the girls have played and I thought they did exceptionally well today but we were very inconsistent,” Roberts said. “I did not feel we played anywhere near the full potential — players did not follow the game plan. So we’re going to have to revisit which players will be able to execute this Friday and Sunday.”

BALL STATE GAME LEADERS: Goals: Sam Kambol (1) Shots: Paula Guerrero, Julia Elvbo, Yela Ziswiler, and Sam Kambol (2) Saves: Tristin Stuteville (2)

Freshman forward Sam Kambol scored the lone goal of the game, which moved Ball State to 7-2-1 (2-0 MAC). She now has three goals on the season. “The coaches have been telling me I really need to work on accelerating and trying to zip into certain positions and get behind

the defense,” Kambol said. “I think as the games go on, I’m progressing better and I am adjusting to college play, so I think today I was lucky enough to get one in.” Kambol’s unassisted goal was scored in the 53rd minute because she saw the space and opportunity the defense gave her and shot it right into the bottom left corner of the net. “I think one of the big things [Roberts] says is to try and take people on and sometimes when you do see space or do see that you kind of have to take two people on, you kind of just have to go for it,” Kambol said. “Especially as a forward. That’s one of our biggest struggles right now, is forwards haven’t been getting a lot of shots, so right now I think being able to try and dribble through people and getting shots is very important for us.” On Friday, the Cardinals play at Eastern Michigan at 1 p.m., followed by a game at 1 p.m. Saturday at Central Michigan. After beating Akron, Roberts addressed the post-game team huddle longer than usual. He wants to see cleaner play in this weekend’s Michigan road trip. “We’re going to go there to try and win,” Roberts said. “Getting three points in each game is very important if you want to pursue things. Teams’ objectives may be just to make the tournament, just getting enough points to do that. We don’t. We play every game to win the game and that’s our mentality, that’s what we’re all about."

“You want to win on the road,” Neu said. “Obviously you face some different challenges and obstacles. But we try to go on the road and handle our business. ... The guys approach it as a business trip.” One of the biggest challenges teams face on the road is executing in front of a hostile crowd. Ball State is averaging 436.2 yards per game, fresh off a 488-yard performance against Florida Atlantic. The running game got off to a hot start this year and has been sophomore quarterback Riley Neal’s best friend in getting the passing game going. But ball security has been an issue. Neal has thrown four interceptions, and the Cardinals have fumbled five times (three lost). Neal also threw a pick on the opening drive against the Owls, but it was Ball State’s only turnover of the game. “It’s something we definitely try to avoid at all costs, but other than that, I feel like we did a really good job on a wet, muggy night,” he said. “... I think we’ve progressed really well through non-conference play. I feel like we’re close to where we need to be.” In every game besides the last

Defensive end Joshua Posley believes defense has good momentum going into the conference play. The group came in third in the MAC in total defense, first in the MAC rush defense and tied for second in the nation with 17 sacks.

one, it’s been the Cardinals’ defense keeping them in it until the offense shakes off a slow start. It’s hard to argue with what the

defense has done — third in the MAC in total defense, first in the MAC in rush defense and tied for second in the nation with 17 sacks. With the

exception of some big plays here and there, senior Joshua Posley said the defense is still a group on the rise. “I think we have really good momentum,” Posley said. “We have a good mindset going into conference play. We have our toughness almost where we need it to be, but we still have a long way to go.” Expectations weren’t always this high, at least not outside the Cardinals’ locker room. They were picked to finish second-to-last in the MAC West Division before the season started. Whether this success will translate over to the MAC schedule remains to be seen. But Ball State is going to find out, starting with rival Northern Illinois at home next week. “All we cared about was getting to 3-1,” Neu said. “Now we come back home and start MAC play against Northern Illinois. I don’t care what their record is, it’s a good program with a great history ... We’re ready for MAC play.” Contact Jake Fox with any questions or concerns at @FoxJake_.
