50 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE Experienced team will open program’s 50th season with high expectations in mind
EVAN BARNUM-STEGGERDA CHIEF REPORTER @Slice_of_Evan

In a way, the Ball State men’s volleyball team’s season-opening match on Saturday won’t be just its first contest of the season. It will be a tribute. Once the first serve flies over the net, Ball State will begin its 50th season in the program’s decorated NCAA history, dating back a vision that was set in motion by a young coach with a love for volleyball. Don Shondell, the patriarch of a historic
volleyball laden family, founded Ball State’s men’s volleyball team in 1962, 10 years after graduating from the same university. Leading up to the team’s match against St. Francis on Saturday, the program has amassed 1,067 wins since its founding. Only one other team has won at least 1,000. Credit the program’s continuity within its coaching staff for its history of success. Through 50 seasons of NCAA play, only three

Obama to “take action” on gun violence issues
AP| BRIEF
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The number of Indiana flu deaths this season has risen to 10, up from seven at this time last week. A weekly health department report says eight of those who died were older than 50 and two were under 18. Health officials reported four influenza outbreaks in long-term care facilities, but didn’t say whether any deaths occurred there. An epidemiologist said earlier this week that most of the flu circulating now is an H3N2 virus that tends to be more severe than some other strains. Doctors are encouraging people to get flu shots to protect against the strain that is circulating. People develop immunity about two weeks after receiving the vaccine. This year’s outbreak is regarded as one of the worst in several years.
individuals have been head coaches of the team. Shondell was relieved Marvin Grey for the 1965 season to earn his doctorate. For 34 years, Shondell built the program from the ground up, and in 1998 he handed the reigns over to current head coach Joel Walton. “This has lent us real continuity and lets us maintain strong ties with alumni,” Walton said.
Vice president meets with victim, gun safety groups MCT PHOTO
President Barack Obama delivers a statement as Vice President Joe Biden, left, looks on in the Brady Press Briefing Room about the policy process the administration will pursue in the wake of the Newtown, Conn., tragedy Dec. 19 at the White House. Biden has since been appointed to head up the initiative on new gun regulations.
| THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is “determined to take action” on gun violence, his vice president
said Wednesday as a highprofile round of White House meetings began in search of new policies after last month’s Connecticut school shooting. Vice President Joe Biden told reporters that the shooting of 20 children, ages 6 and 7, with a legally purchased, high-powered rifle weighed down the nation’s conscience
“in a way like nothing I’ve seen in my career.” While Biden met with victims groups and gun safety organizations ahead of this month’s deadline to send proposals to Congress, a contentious debate was emerging on just what gun safety should be.

Lubbers said students should

Glue & Scissors Society events benefit artists, local businesses, city |
MICHELLE JOHNSON 72 HRS EDITOR mdjohnson4@bsu.edu
Although hosting events in the Village may be beneficial to local businesses, The Cup owner Martin George said it’s the integration of art into the community that matters, not the extra sales. As a frequent hub to the art group The Glue & Scissors Society’s first-Friday events, The Cup will once again open its doors to artists and their audiences on Friday. George’s personal interest in the arts motivates him to host the events and in turn, share his interest with the Muncie community. “I’m doing everything I can to foster new artists and encourage events like that to happen in the Village and connect it to campus,” George said. “I’m glad it’s helping the businesses, but what’s important is that it’s good for the community, because in the long run, what’s good for the community is good for the business.” Local businesses Be Here Now and Village Green Records have also acted as venues to Glue & Scissors events. While past Glue & Scissors events featured mainly live music and visual art spanning from themes such as grayscale, print and mixed media, Friday’s event will also focus on poetry readings from six local writers. Among the writers is senior creative writing major Elysia Smith, who will be reading a few pieces from her chapbook, a pocket-sized booklet, titled “Glaucoma.” Smith said “Glaucoma” was written as a perspective on divorce, but promises potential listeners that “it’s not as whiny as it sounds.” As the group’s vice president, or as she calls it, “just a loud mouth who’s excited about her community,” Smith not only makes artistic contributions to the events, but also leads the group in planning and marketing.

“I personally feel that the shows that Glue & Scissors put on are a valiant and honest attempt to reintegrate art into our community,” Smith
said. “With the downswing of art in public spaces like schools, it’s important to recognize and celebrate the opportunities that the sharing of self expression can be.” The event begins at 4 p.m. at The Cup with a pre-show featuring jazz music and Happy Medusa, a local self-proclaimed “progressive pirate folk” band. The readings begin at 7 p.m. at The Cup followed by an afterparty at Be Here Now showcasing four bands including the psychedelic five-piece from Fort Wayne Heaven’s Gateway Drugs and Indianapolis surf punk band No Coast. Ten to fifteen pieces of visual art will be debuted and decorate the walls of Be Here Now for the remainder of the month.

Oprah to ask Armstrong about drug allegations “No holds-barred” interview to be aired on OWN, Oprah.com | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES (AP) — Lance Armstrong has agreed to an interview with Oprah Winfrey and is to address allegations he used performance-enhancing drugs during a career in which he won seven Tour de France titles. According to Winfrey’s website on Tuesday, this will be a “no holds-barred interview.” It will be the first with Armstrong since his cycling career crumbled under the weight of a massive report by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency. The report detailed accusations of drug use by Armstrong and teammates on his U.S. Postal Service teams. It’s unclear if the interview at Armstrong’s home in Austin, Texas, has already been taped.

The show will be broadcast Jan. 17 at 9 p.m. EST on OWN and Oprah.com. Armstrong has strongly denied the doping charges that led to him being stripped of his Tour de France titles, but The New York Times reported Friday he has told associates he is considering acknowledging the use of performance enhancers. The newspaper report cited anonymous sources, and Armstrong’s lawyer Tim Herman told The Associated Press that night he had no knowledge of Armstrong considering a confession. Earlier Tuesday, “60 Minutes Sports” reported the head of USADA told the show a representative for Armstrong offered the agency a “donation” in excess of $150,000 several years before

thinks this Friday’s event will attract the largest audience yet. Since past events highlighted a specific theme, Diaz said he’s excited to see the audience’s reaction to the diverse pool of submitted art for this month’s event. “This time we decided to take anything we can to show our community that there is all sorts of artwork out there,” Diaz said. “There will be a lot of different mediums and themes hung up in Be Here Now.” Senior social work major Angelina Zulas is attending the event on Friday to support local art and music and see her friends for the first time since winter break began. As her second Glue & Scissors event, Zulas said these events act as creative stimulation for her and the community. “Muncie is a city waiting for vibrant people to thrive within it,” Zulas said. “Hosting shows like Glue & Scissors motivates people to turn off their televisions and get out in the world. It inspires people to be creative and to mingle.”

Board cuts ribbon on Studebaker East
Residence hall ends 10-year revitilization of campus buildings |
RACHEL PODNAR CHIEF REPORTER rmpodnar@bsu.edu
One of the last steps in Ball State’s Education Redefined Strategic Plan and mission to revitalize campus came to a close Wednesday afternoon. Students, faculty and community members gathered for the Studebaker East Complex rededication ceremony, nearly three months after it reopened to students. Alan Hargrave, associate vice president for Student Affairs and director of Housing and Residence Life, welcomed attendants to the ceremony and spoke of the history of the building. The complex is named after Mark E. Studebaker, who was one of the first four business education professors at Ball State, and he served as a faculty member for 36 years. “As we gather today, we not only recognize generations of students who called Stu East home but we also honor a man who was one of this university’s faculty leaders,” Hargrave
said. “We celebrate the features that make this residence hall a truly modern faculty.” The renovation of the building comes at the end of a decadelong effort to revitalize campus buildings, based on input from students. This effort was part of the implementation of the Education Redefined Strategic Plan, which is now complete. To fulfill that initiative, the new Studebaker East includes a large multipurpose room, conference rooms, a computer lab, music practice room, common laundry space and a fitness room. About 430 students are housed in the residence hall’s air-conditioned double rooms on eight floors. Kay Bales, vice president for Student Affairs and dean of students, said the renovation represents larger changes in Ball State’s students and on campus. “It is important to us that students feel pride in our campus and experience firsthand the priority we place on student’s quality of life at the university,” she said. Bales said the renovation of Studebaker East had three significant goals. She said, first, as the home of the International and Languages Living-Learning Communi-

BOARD PRESIDENT REAPPOINTED
Twenty-four-year Ball State Board of Trustees member Hollis E. Hughes Jr. was reappointed as president by Gov. Mitch Daniels. As newly reappointed president, Hughes said he hopes to continue in this term working with the other board members and advancing the university as a top school in the state. “What I really enjoy is the change I’ve seen in the university over the years, how much stronger the university has grown since I first came on the board and just the challenges we have dealt with and how we have handled them as well if not better than most state institutions,” Hughes said. Hughes has been the board president since 2011. He has been on the board HOLLIS E. HUGHES, since 1989 and was board secretary reappointed from 2006 to 2011, according to a Ball Ball State Board State press release. of Trustees “I felt pleased with the support of the president alumni association and pleased with the opportunity to continue to be of service to the state and also to have an impact on higher education,” Hughes said. He graduated from Ball State in 1965 with a bachelor’s degree and earned his master’s degree in 1972. “As an alum of Ball State, it means an awful lot to be of service and give something back,” he said. Hughes is part of the nine-member board, made up of two Ball State alumni, one full-time student and six members appointed at large. Members serve four year terms. The governor appoints all nine members. The primary duties of the board includes granting degrees, borrowing money and setting fees and charges. In addition to serving as president of the board, he also serves on the Ball State University Foundation, the Alumni Council and the Black Alumni Society Board of Directors. – SARA NAHRWOLD

climate neutrality. Bales said the final goal involves the vibrant energy of the complex will serve as a model for future residence halls and attract bright, creative students. Student member of the Board of Trustees Michael Miller
closed the ceremony, speaking on behalf of the Board to his experience in Studebaker East when he was a freshman. “As I moved my belongings out at the end of my freshman year I never imagined myself standing here four years later,”
he said. “While the physical appearance has changed, the feeling that comes about from it is still the same. It’s a feeling that gets to the heart of what we are doing at Ball State, it’s a reminder students always come first. The friendships and memories I built in these walls I will never forget.” After the ceremony, resident assistants gave guided tours of the building. Senior nursing major Stephanie Burris, who is an RA for the building, said Studebaker East has a positive environment. “I would definitely say this is nicer [than where I have been an RA in the past]; it has its own unique qualities like the lounges and open kitchen areas,” she said. “It will help foster communities with the residents.” Junior legal studies major Dairick Wade is also an RA in Studebaker East. He agreed with Burris and said the building has been well-received. “All the residents love the building, it fosters a community,” Wade said. “A lot of students socialize in the lounges and we have programs in the lounges. It really does create a great community for students.”
Student Recreation and Wellness Center to showcase workout classes Students to get fit, win prizes on Friday at Fitness Palooza STEPHENS CHIEF REPORTER | CHRIS castephens@bsu.edu
The Student Recreation and Wellness Center is making weight loss-related resolutions a little easier by hosting an event to introduce its lineup of healthy living classes. “I’m actually looking for a new workout regiment, [and] maybe the hardcore class will give me some ideas,” said Ramaro Barnes, a senior psychology major. Barnes said he had gotten out of the habit of working out, but the Fitness Palooza seemed like a good place to start back again. Amy Hill, a graduate assistant with the Ball State Fit Program, organized Fitness Palooza, a twohour demonstration of several classes offered by the recreation department. “It gives you a chance to try a lot of classes all at one event,” she said. “There will be a lot of people there trying to get the semester started off right.” As well as introducing students to several different types of
classes offered at the SRWC, it is meant to be fun, Hill said. There will be prizes and giveaways, including T-shirts and other recreational gear. Four types of classes will be introduced: hardcore, cross-training, yoga and a crowd favorite, Zumba. “I have been doing [Zumba] since my sophomore year of high school,” freshman journalism major Sartavia Morland said. “The courses are really expensive for me so it would be nice for me to do it for free. I like Zumba because I used to do yoga, but with Zumba I actually feel like I’m really getting a workout.” As well as offering a place for students to try out classes, all classes are free through Sunday. Classes afterward cost between $25 for a five time use card to $95 for an unlimited semester pass. Breion Thomas, a sophomore psychology major, said he is active and open to the idea of taking classes, or at least trying them out for free. Thomas said he thinks it is a good idea to give students a free try before they have to buy expensive packages. “I usually just play basketball instead of doing anything really structured,” Thomas said. “I do like to be fit, I will have to look into some of those classes.”

BIDEN: Obama looks to announce next steps for gun violence after inauguration | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Obama hopes to announce his administration’s next steps to tackle gun violence shortly after he is sworn in for a second term on Jan. 21. Meanwhile, a coalition of conservative and gun-rights groups is organizing a “Gun Appreciation Day” to coincide with the weekend of his inauguration, calling on people to visit gun stores, gun ranges and gun shows with U.S. flags and “Hands off my gun” signs. The United States has the highest rate of firearm ownership among peer countries — 89 civilian-owned firearms for every 100 Americans —
and that’s one reason why the country suffers far more violent deaths than any other wealthy nation, a new report said Wednesday. The U.S. is home to about 35 to 50 percent of the world’s civilian-owned firearms, said the report from the National Research Council and the Institute of Medicine. States and communities are trying to come up with their own solutions to gun violence. The governor of New York, the state with some of the country’s strictest gun laws, on Wednesday proposed to close loopholes on a state ban on assault weapons and ammunition clips that carry more than 10 bullets. The
outspoken Republican governor of neighboring New Jersey, Chris Christie, said policymakers also must address the mental health system, improve access to drug treatment and look at the impact of violent video games. Gabrielle Giffords, the former congresswoman who was shot in the head two years ago in a mass attack, is forming a political action committee to counter the existing gun lobby while reaching out to gun owners like herself. And states are exploring ideas ranging from instant background checks for people buying ammunition to one Utah town’s proposal to have
every household armed. Biden’s meetings this week include one on Thursday with the country’s most powerful gun lobbying group, the National Rifle Association, which insisted after the Connecticut shooting that the answer to gun violence was arming more “good guys” and putting an armed security officer in every school. Participants in Wednesday’s meeting included the Brady Campaign to End Gun Violence. The group’s president, Dan Gross, said afterward that the meeting was “very productive and actually inspiring.” He said the administration is trying to figure out how to
prevent gun deaths, not take guns away from lawful owners. But as the shock and sorrow begin to fade over the Connecticut attack, some gun rights advocates are already fighting tighter gun restrictions, and the Senate’s top Republican has warned it could be spring before Congress begins considering any gun legislation. “The biggest problem we have at the moment is spending and debt,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said this week, pointing to looming debates over the country’s borrowing limit and massive deficit. Obama wants Congress to reinstate a ban on military-style
assault weapons, close loopholes that allow gun buyers to avoid background checks and restrict high-capacity magazines. Other recommendations to the Biden group include making gun-trafficking a felony, getting the Justice Department to prosecute people caught lying on gun background-check forms and ordering federal agencies to send data to the National Gun Background Check Database. Some of those steps could be taken through executive action, without the approval of Congress. White House officials said Obama will not finalize any actions until receiving Biden’s recommendations.
on time. Right now, only onehalf of students receiving state financial aid are taking this many credits but threefourths expect to graduate on time, Lubbers said.
Lubbers also suggested administrations further support student with their own financial aid incentives for students to graduate on time and with minimal debt. Her final suggestion for colleges was to emphasize college advising to place students on track to graduate on time and provide a true sense of the job opportunities and earning potential for their degrees.
formula.” She also said they should focus on investing more in the next budget on higher education and creating incentives to “award additional financial aid dollars to those who perform academically and graduate on time.” The commission will ask lawmakers to present these actions during the upcoming legislative session. “Yes, there will be a cost associated with increasing degree production and educational attainment,” Lubbers said. “But, we must pay for what we value to keep pace with the growing
work force demand for skilled college graduates.”
needs a mentor to help guide them through the process of preparing for college as well as graduating. Rep. Robert Behning, (R-Indianapolis), chairman of the House Education Committee, said a data system is going to be important as a way to continue to gauge what is best for students as they continue into the future. Kevin Brinegar, president and CEO of Indiana Chamber of Commerce, said the future budget needs to be “laser focused” on using resources for qualified, skilled talent as a priority.
EDUCATION: Panel addresses what they would change to help higher schooling | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 She suggested that students should not borrow more than their expected starting salary after graduation. “A college degree continues to be a smart investment, but many students pile up debt without understanding what their total cost will be or how long it will take for tem to pay it off,” Lubbers said. They should also remember “15 to finish,” as 15 credit hours are the minimum number of credits full time students need to graduate
COLLEGE RESPONSIBILITY
Lubbers said she also holds colleges responsible to make higher education more beneficial at a lower cost. She suggested that colleges first increase the state higher education funding during the next budget cycle toward performance and holding any increase in tuition or fees to at or below the rate of inflation.
STATE RESPONSIBILITY
Lawmakers, from Lubbers’ perspective, are responsible for “sustaining support for a performance based funding
PANEL PLAN
In the last three minutes of the panel, each member addressed the “biggest thing” they would change. Bill Stanczykiewicz, president and CEO of the Indian Youth Institute, quoted President Lincoln and said students had the “right to rise” and that information needed to reach students through “people they know and organizations they trust.” Beverly Pitts, president emeritus of the University of Indiana, said every single student

VOLLEYBALL: Stopping St. Francis’ Patterson key to win on Saturday
THE LINE UP

YOUR GUIDE TO WEEKEND SPORTING EVENTS
The stability and consistency at the top of the program exemplifies that ‘families’ are built around Ball State volleyball, rather than just teams. “Typically our stories involve getting to and from our matches more so than what actually happened on the court,� Walton said. “For us, it truly was our fraternity. “Because of that, and the amount of time we spent together, lifelong relationships have been built.�

ALUMNI EVENTS
A half-century of bonds among teammates came together at the team’s 50th anniversary commemoration this past weekend. Walton said the turnout for the annual alumni match on Saturday was well beyond average. “Through the course of the weekend I came up with a list of about 84 alumni that attended that I could think of, and I know I’m missing some,� Walton said. Famous alumni such as USC women’s volleyball coach Mick Haley and Dave and John Shondell, both sons of the elder Shondell, brothers to Ball State women’s volleyball coach Steve Shondell and Purdue women’s volleyball coaches, were in attendance for a coaches clinic and a celebration dinner. The turnout and success made Walton call the gala “the weekend of smiles.�

And with a team rich in winning records for the last 50 years, the question is whether the current team can build on that history this season.
With no one to help bail the offense out, Walton has focused much of his attention on sets. He said the team’s timing and tempo have improved vastly this offseason. Coupled with significant improvement from senior right-side hitters Jamion Hartley and Greg Herceg, Ball State’s offense looks to improve every match. The team also returns allconference junior middle hitter Matt Leske, as well as junior libero Tommy Rouse, who was all-conference his freshman year.
OFFENSIVE CHALLENGES
Various preseason polls have the Cardinals at fourth in the Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association. Walton does not think that assessment is too off base. “When we voted for the preseason rankings, I put our team at fourth,� Walton said. “Yet after playing everybody in the preseason [except Grand Canyon], I think we stack up actually better than that. I’m talking to our guys on a daily basis, telling them why we can win the conference. “There’s a good deal of parity. I don’t see any team being absolutely dominant.� But in order to compete with the best teams in the conference, Ball State’s offense must improve. Last season, Ball State hit for a .202 attack percentage compared to MIVA champion Lewis’ .321 mark. It doesn’t help one of the team’s best offensive players from 2012 in outside hitter Larry Wrather is out for the season. Wrather underwent surgery to repair his rotator cuff and labrum this summer. In the offseason, Walton focused on getting effective production from the outside hitters at his disposal. “One of the pieces we need to get better at is attacking at the

antennas,� Walton said. “We haven’t had strong enough performances from our outside attackers. Teams have been able to gamble away from particular hitters and bunch up their blockers around other hitters.

Ball State’s first test will come against St. Francis this Saturday. St. Francis already lost to one MIVA opponent this season, Ohio State, falling in three games. Junior outside hitter Logan Patterson led the Red Flash with 11 kills and a .302 hitting percentage against the Buckeyes. Walton knows slowing him down will be key for Ball State. “He carries the bulk of their offensive load, and has for about three seasons now,� Walton said. But this is just the first of many matches for Ball State this season. And with the 50th anniversary season set to begin, Walton hopes to celebrate in a way only fit for a Ball State men’s volleyball: by winning. “I’m very excited about this season, and I think we have the necessary players to compete.�

As Ball State’s No. 1 scoring option, it’s easy to see why Jesse Berry draws so much attention in late-game situations. For the second game in a row, however, the junior guard made opposing teams pay for their narrow focus. With an on-ball defender and three more Eastern Michigan players eyeing him from the paint, Berry crossed over from the right wing before rifling a pass to a wide-open Chris Bond on the baseline. The junior forward drew a foul with .6 seconds remaining and made two free throws to seal Ball State’s 60-58 win over Eastern Michigan in both teams Mid-American Conference opener on Wednesday. Although Bond clinched the game at the line with two of his game-high 18 points, it was Berry who made the play. Coach Billy Taylor put the ball in Berry’s hands with 8.3 seconds left and the score tied at 58. The vision to find Bond became the latest example of how the MAC West Division Player of the Week’s playmaking skills are starting to rival his lethal outside shot. In last week’s game against Norfolk State, Berry drove fullcourt and found junior Majok

Majok under the basket for a buzzer-beating dunk. The Lafayette, Ind., native finished the game with eight points, six off his season average, but set a new career-high in assists with six. Ball State shot a season-high 58.5 percent (24-of-41) from the field against Eastern Michigan’s 2-3 zone on Wednesday. Senior guard Jauwan Scaife scored at least 18 points for the third consecutive game, but it was Bond who filled up
the stat sheet. He shot 8-of-8 from the field to go along with four assists, three rebounds and three assists. The Eagles were led in scoring by senior guard Derek Thompson, who had 16 points off the bench. After leading 33-28 at halftime, the Cardinals led the rest of the way before the game was tied at 58. Ball State’s next game is on Saturday against Kent State at 2 p.m.
