BSU STUDENT DIES IN FLOODING Roommate, friend talk on Blake Taylor’s personality, experiences with him A.J. BRAMMER AND SARA NAHRWOLD | news@bsudailynews.com
A Ball State student who was driving back to Muncie late Sunday night died in Grant County after his car was pushed off the road by high waters into a flooded field. Blake A. Taylor, 19, of Kokomo, lost control of his car along State Road 26,
near Fairmount, Ind. The Grant County Sheriff’s Office received a report that a 2002 Pontiac Grand Am was upside down and submerged in water along the rural highway. Two deputies and other emergency responders arrived on the scene. The two deputies, as well as a Fairmount police officer, waded into the water, approximately four to five feet deep, and attempted to get the victim out of the car by breaking a window. When this failed, the deputies used tow straps tied to their vehicles to pull the car from the water and were able to free the victim.
CPR was performed on the scene and Taylor was transported to Marion General Hospital. Taylor was pronounced dead at the hospital. The sheriff’s office believes that Taylor was driving east on I-26 when he drove through standing flood waters. The car then slid across the westbound lane when it rolled over into a ditch. The passenger compartment began fill- BLAKE TAYLOR, ing with water. Deputies believe Taylor 19, of Kokomo, was submerged for 10 to 12 minutes.

Cupcake shop now open late Owner says she isn’t worried of opening of Insomnia Cookies EMMA KATE FITTES CHIEF REPORTER | emfittes@bsu.edu Large crowds in the Village during early morning hours on weekends has caused cardinal cupcakes & coneys to change their store hours. The Village location is now open from 6 p.m. until 2 a.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. “We decided to go late night because it seems that was the need that the students were asking for since they tend to come down more to the Village at night to go to the bars and to meet up with their friends for dinner,” owner Melissa Bucur said. “The community seems to be more around during the day to grab something to take to the office, or to take something for home or to pick something up for a party.” Along with new hours, Bucur has introduced a new toppings bar with 15 different options for coneys and baked potatoes at the Village location last week. The store on McGalliard remains dessert only. Kaycie Hill, a senior elementary education major, agrees that the unusual hours fit well into college life.

all State does not allow any firearms or weapons on campus, but Wesley Jones, a junior sociology major, hasn’t always remembered that rule. More than once before, the student who served two Army combat deployments in Iraq said he has forgotten a firearm was attached to his hip, from force of habit, before he went to class. “I was more afraid of getting expelled than the gun accidently [becoming visible] to a bunch of people,” said Jones, who owns a .40 caliber Glock pistol and a .45 Taurus 1911 pistol. “I’d be in like a cold sweat in a classroom because I had my firearm with me.

MUNCIE, INDIANA
DON’T BOTHER WASHING YOUR HAIR. IT’S NATIONAL HAT DAY.
Former Congressman Mike Pence called for Hoosiers to work together in order to improve and invest in Indiana at his inauguration as governor on Monday. “We have good government, but make no mistake about it our state is poised for greatness. The core of that greatness remains our people,” said Pence in his inaugural address. “Indiana is the heart of the heartland because Hoosiers are the best people in the world.” The Pence inauguration was hosted on the west steps of the Indiana Statehouse as a crowd of several hundred shivered in 20-degree temperatures. Another small business owner, Joe Hadley, owner of Hadley
Family Dentistry, emphasized the impact Gov. Pence will have on small business practices in Indiana. “I want [Pence] to be kind to small business. I’m tired of all the incentives going to big business,” Hadley said. “We are under new leadership that will expound on [Former Gov. Mitch Daniels’] policies, Pence will springboard into the new administration.” Hadley looked at his young son and smiled when he talked about the future he hopes Pence will help build for Indiana and also his growing family. “I want my kids to have hope when they grow and open up their own businesses,” Hadley said. “Pence is going to create policies that will give them that hope.”

Parents regain national attention Spierers hope to find leads on daughter through magazine | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Charlene Spierer stands in the doorway of her New York home looking at the boxes she and her husband packed and collected from their missing daughter’s Bloomington apartment the summer of 2011. Nineteen months later, those 19 boxes remain untouched, unopened, unpacked. Now, those boxes have been photographed and published, illustrating the grief Robert and Charlene Spierer experience every day. The continued search
for missing Indiana University student Lauren Spierer has again taken to the national stage — this time in the latest issue of People magazine, with millions of readers in print and online. The Spierers said they hope by telling their daughter’s story to a popular national magazine, they’ll finally get the one lead that will bring them closure and bring their daughter home. “Our sole objective is to get that one lead. Anything that we do. If we have one lead, it will have been worth it. That’s our whole objective, to get that one person,” Charlene Spierer told The Herald-Times in a phone interview Friday evening after “Life without Lauren” hit newsstands. In the article, the Spierers
tell People magazine that police and investigators aren’t getting tips or leads as frequently as they used to. Lauren Spierer was reportedly last seen about 4:30 a.m. on June 3, 2011, at the intersection of 11th Street and College Avenue. It’s been reported she was walking home alone toward her Smallwood Plaza apartment after a night out at Kilroy’s Sports Bar and 5 North Townhomes. She was 20 at the time of her disappearance. An apparel merchandising student, she would have been a senior this year, preparing to graduate. This coming Thursday, Lauren Spierer would be celebrating her 22nd birthday. After months of meetings, the Spierers invited People maga-

For college students New Year’s Eve usually consists of looking toward the future, drinking and not really remembering the night’s events. But I remember New Year’s Eve two years ago when a friend and I ran into a big group of old high school friends. We were young, happy to ring in 2011 together and looking forward to our long lives ahead of us. Nothing could get us down that night; we had too much to live for. I’ve thought about that night a lot, but now it has a whole new significance. My childhood best friend sent me a message Friday afternoon saying that one of the girls we spent that amazing New Year’s Eve with was found by police in the middle of the road. She had been shot in the head. Thoughts of passing her in the hallway, seeing her at school events, graduation and counting down to 2011 together raced through my mind. I admit, I didn’t know her well, and I hate it when people make someone else’s tragedy about themselves. But those of you who are also from small towns will understand when I say that it doesn’t matter how well you know someone. Everyone is intertwined in small communities and we come together during moments of grief. The pain is there. The pain is real. The hot button topic lately has been gun control, and how could it not be at the forefront following shootings at a movie theater and another at an elementary school where 26 people, 20 of which were children, died? It’s natural for a major news event, or several, to thrust certain issues
into the spotlight. But whether the debate is about concealed weapons on campus, teachers carrying guns or banning military-style weapons, there is a bigger issue at hand. The United States lacks accessible mental health care. About 25 percent of adults in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Half of all lifetime cases of mental illness begin by the age of 14 and three-quarters being by the age of 24, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness. Fewer than a third of adults and half of children with a diagnosable mental disorder receive mental health services in a given year. People with mental health issues are often reluctant to seek help, don’t receive support from loved ones and insurers are often hesitant to pay for services. Don’t get me wrong — I’m not saying all people with mental illnesses turn to violence. Not by a long shot. But perfectly sane people don’t walk into a movie theater with a semi-automatic rifle or shoot a 23-year-old college student on a highway. Should there be stricter gun laws? Should there be a ban on semi-automatic weapons? Should concealed weapons be allowed on campus? I don’t know. What I do know is that countless people have lost their lives to people who for whatever reason weren’t able to receive mental health treatment, and that countless more will lose their lives if we don’t make a societal change. And I know that today I’ll attend a memorial service to say goodbye to a girl who lost her life too soon.
GUNS: Students purchase more guns | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Sen. Jim Banks, (R-Columbia City), introduced Senate Bill 97 to the Indiana General Assembly, which prohibits state agencies, including public universities like Ball State, from regulating the possession of firearms, ammunition or firearm accessories on the grounds the institution is on as well as in its buildings. Banks said the law would prevent rapes on campuses, according to the Associated Press. If Senate Bill 97 was passed, students with gun permits would be allowed to bring their firearms on campus. Indiana is one of 23 states which currently allows each college or university to make the decision on whether or not concealed carry weapons are allowed on their campuses. Ball State does not allow any weapons on campus, and offenders may be subjected to criminal charges. Joan Todd, executive director of public relations, said administrators stand by the policy, despite recent events such as the Newtown shootings. A Facebook group called “Students for Concealed Carry on Campus at Ball State University” was started in December 2012. Recently, the group has urged its 63 followers to write President Pro Tempore of the Indiana State Senate David Long, to show
him their support for Senate Bill 97. No one from the group could be reached by the Daily News on Monday. Jones said he would feel comfortable if a large number of people would carry guns in a lecture hall. “Those people who have permits and who carry are some of the more responsible people,” he said. “It’s not going to turn bad grades into shootouts.” Jason Pickell, a freshman political science major, said he would feel uncomfortable knowing that fellow students or professors are carrying guns on campus, because he can’t even trust himself with a gun. “I’m not against guns, but I believe that having concealed carry on campus is not going to make the university or campus any safer,” he said. “What happens if two people get into an argument? Are they going to solve it with fist fights or are they going to solve it with guns?” Colorado is one of five states that allows the concealed carry of firearms on campus, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures website. Jerry Peterson, a professor at the University of Colorado in Boulder, told his students that he would cancel class if he found out anyone was carrying a firearm during his class, according to the Denver Post. CU-Boulder
Chancellor Philip DiStefano then rebuked Peterson’s statement, since it would be breaking a state law. Joe Losco, chairman of the political science department, said he would be uncomfortable having concealed weapons in a political science classroom because of heated debates. “We discuss some very controversial issues,” Losco said. “Sometimes, people get very emotional because of those issues. Sometimes, emotions can lead to hostile actions. Certainly, if there are firearms around, I would feel less secure.” Jeff Burke, owner of McGalliard Guns and More, said while a spike in business could be explained by the holiday season and hunting seasons, some students have purchased guns for self protection and for the fear that they may not be able to buy guns for much longer, if national gun control laws are changed. Pickell said even if laws are changed, students will still be uncomfortable. “I think it is going to create an uncomfortable environment for those who do not want to carry a gun knowing that some other people in their classes or on campus may have a gun,” he said. “The status quo has worked so far. Yeah, there has been some shooting on college campuses, but just having guns isn’t going to solve it.”
zine staff to their suburban New York home for what Charlene Spierer described as a personal inLAUREN SPIERER terview and an IU student, story. The fivewent missing page article inin June 2011 cludes family photographs, pictures of Lauren as a child and a brief statement from Lauren’s older sister, Rebecca. “I think it was a chance for us to get the story out to a lot of people,” Charlene Spierer said. Robert Spierer described the experience of having reporters and photographers in their home as difficult. “It
was hard to do. It was a tough experience, having someone in your home.” Magazine staff did not go into their daughter’s room. Charlene Spierer didn’t either. She still can’t, she told People. “If these articles, these interviews are the way to do it, we’re just going to have to keep doing it,” Robert Spierer said. “It makes it frustrating, the more time that goes by. Because we try. We try different things through the media. Different ways of pleading for help. We’re just going to keep trying until someone does come through.” The continued search for answers has been and will be featured on national television. In December, the Spierers spoke about their daughter’s
disappearance on an episode of Katie Couric’s daytime talk show. The episode was titled “Vanished: Gone Without a Trace,” and featured several families who are searching for missing loved ones. The segment was filmed in front of a live studio audience. And the Spierers said they have been in contact with Dateline NBC producers who are working on an episode about Lauren’s disappearance. The Spierers said “Dateline” crews may do some filming in Bloomington this week. But a finished episode and television airing are still months in the works. “If that one person that we’re looking for sees it and responds to it, then we’ve accomplished what we wanted to,” Robert Spierer said.

awards on Tuesday in Cardinal Hall. In her fall faculty address, President Jo Ann Gora announced the creation of university-wide immersive learning awards. The first recipients of these awards will be announced during the faculty reception this evening, hosted by both the president’s and provost’s Offices. Immersive learning experiences were added to Ball State Strategic Plan in 2007. Ball State reports that between 2007 and 2012, about 16,400 students have participated in more than 1,000 immersive learning projects, many of which have won awards. This will be the first recognition of immersive learning projects by Ball State. Nominations were accepted late Fall Semester and evaluated by the Immersive Learning Advisory Committee, which consists of representatives from each department, the provost office and the Virginia B. Ball Center for Creative Inquiry and Building Better Communities Fellows. Assistant to the provost Jacquelyn Buckrop said the awards will be announced as part of the larger faculty reception. “[The faculty reception is] a welcome back and a celebration of excellence in a number of things,” she said. The faculty reception will start at 5:30 p.m. in Cardinal Hall.
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana health officials say the number of flu-related deaths in the state has reached 21. The Indiana State Department of Health reported the updated number Monday. It said two of the deaths have occurred in individuals younger than 18. The agency said no official shortages of the influenza vaccine have been reported, but some people might find it more difficult to find the vaccine because of high demand. It says a vaccine locator can be found at Flu.gov, and that the vaccine typically can be found at local health departments, pharmacies and with health care providers. Vaccinations are recommended for anyone 6 months old or older.

CUPCAKES: Bucur believes her market different than Insomnia Cookies’ crowd | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “I think it’s nice that they have it for students when the library is open until 3 a.m. and since there’s some other things open that late in the Village,” Hill said. “I think they will help their business that way. If I was on campus studying [I would go] maybe during finals week.” Freshman business major Travis Muller said he thinks the business will be losing customers who liked the more typical hours. “It’s despicable. The average person has normal hours,” Muller said. “When they want a cupcake, they want a cupcake. You’re losing
your customer support, your base, which gave you success in the first place. I go to work, I’m on my lunch break, I’m walking back from Subway and I want a cupcake.” cardinal cupcakes & coneys will also be facing competition from the incoming Insomnia Cookies, although Bucur isn’t worried. “I think that they will attract a different crowd just with their delivering and different items they serve,” Bucur said. “We serve food and dessert while they are just in the dessert market, so I think that kind of sets us apart.” Bucur said she welcomes competition to the Village because it brings more business to the Village.
“I would take one of each, especially if they delivered,” said sophomore accounting major Laura Crawford. “I could have Jimmy Johns, Insomnia cookies and a cupcake; I’d be set. Now I am going to get a cupcake.”
lette Complex at Ball State in Knotts/Edwards Hall. Freshman Cameron Hall lived on the same floor. “You could go to him with anything and he would always just hang and talk,” he said. “I don’t think he had a bad bone in his body.” Kay Bales, the vice president of student affairs at Ball State, issued a statement regarding Taylor’s death. “On behalf of Ball State University, I extend our deepest sympathies to Blake’s family and friends,” Bales said. “The loss of such a young man is especially saddening. Our thoughts are with his loved ones.” Taylor was a 2012 graduate of Northwestern High School in Kokomo. Taylor’s baseball coach, Mike Brazel, said that Taylor “was a coach’s delight.” “He never put himself first,” he said. “You couldn’t have found a better kid. He was the
kind of player you loved.” Brazel said the school was a somber place Monday morning as the news spread. The coach called a team meeting before school after learning of Taylor’s death from his assistant coach. “He made an impact here,” Brazel said. His impact carried onto the Ball State community. “Blake meant a lot to all of us on this floor. He was like a brother to us as we were a brother to him,” Hall said. “We are a family on this floor and it is just like losing a loved one.” The loss has been hard on Guell, who formed a strong friendship with Taylor since freshman orientation. “Everybody at Ball State, the second floor of Knotts/ Edwards, especially me will miss him something fierce,” Guell said. “He won’t soon be forgotten.”

There is no real way to describe him other than a stand up guy.” The two met during freshmen orientation in the summer and decided to be roommates after that first meeting. “Picture the most sarcastic person you know and multiply it by five, that’s Blake,” he said. “He’s the type of person that if you needed someone to not necessarily talk to but you needed a pick me up throughout the day, something happened, you just needed a joke, he was the guy to go to.” Taylor lived in the LaFol-

HOCKETT CHIEF REPORTER | CONOR @ConorHockett
As Chris Bond wrestled with Kent State’s Chris Evans for position near the basket on Saturday, Ball State’s junior forward showed why he’s emerging as one of the toughest defenders in the MidAmerican Conference. While Evans had four inches and 25 lbs. on Bond, he was able to not only anchor the Golden Flashes leading scorer outside the paint, but was athletic enough to grab one of his four steals on a lob attempt. “He’s a solid defender and he really knows his role on defense,” Evans said. “He’s pretty physical and boxed me out and didn’t let me get any offensive rebounds. He really helps that team in a lot of different ways.” Along with playing 34 minutes of solid defense, Bond added 10 points and nine rebounds in Ball State’s 47-61 loss to Kent State. It was the Gary, Ind. native’s second consecutive game filling up the stat sheet. At Eastern Michigan last week, Bond scored 18 points on 8-of-8 shooting with four assists, four steals and the game-winning free throws with .6 seconds left. “Chris [Bond] is a tremendous athlete. He never gets tired,” coach Billy Taylor said after Saturday’s game against Kent State. “If we had to play again right now, he would dial it up and play just as hard as he did the first 40 minutes. That’s just the type of player and athlete he is. He’s special in that way.” Despite his reluctance to shoot much outside the paint, the 6-foot-4-inch swingman is incredibly disruptive on both ends.

Bond is 12th in the MAC in rebounding at 5.4 per game, but is one of only two players under 6-feet 7-inches tall on that list. His energy and activity is
something Kent State coach Rob Senderoff said is extremely hard to plan for. “With guys like that, if you’re not guarding him tight on the perimeter and giving help,
when a shot goes up there’s nobody to put on him,” Senderoff said. “So he’s got a free run at the rim. He got six offensive boards and he’s just a tough matchup.”
Armstrong to confess drug violations during interview with Oprah Winfrey Former cycling champ reportedly admits to doping | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS AUSTIN, Texas — Lance Armstrong confessed to Oprah Winfrey during an interview Monday that he used performance-enhancing drugs to win the Tour de France, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the interview is to be broadcast Thursday on Winfrey’s network. Armstrong was stripped of all seven Tour titles last year following a voluminous U.S. Anti-Doping Agency report that portrayed him as a ruthless competitor, willing to go to any lengths to win the prestigious race. USADA CEO Travis Tygart labeled the doping regimen allegedly carried out by the U.S. Postal Service team that Armstrong once led, “The most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program that sport has ever seen.” After a federal investigation of the cyclist was dropped without charges being brought last year, USADA stepped in with an investigation of its own. The agency deposed 11 former teammates and accused Armstrong of masterminding a complex and brazen drug program that included steroids, blood boosters and a range of other performance-enhancers.
A group of about 10 close friends and advisers to Armstrong left a downtown Austin hotel about three hours after they arrived Monday afternoon for the taping. Among them were Armstrong attorneys Tim Herman and Sean Breen, along with Bill Stapleton, Armstrong’s longtime agent, manager and business partner. All declined comment entering and exiting the session. Soon afterward, Winfrey tweeted: “Just wrapped with @lancearmstrong More than 2 1/2 hours. He came READY!” She was scheduled to appear on “CBS This Morning” on Tuesday to discuss the interview. In a text to the AP on Saturday, Armstrong said: “I told her [Winfrey] to go wherever she wants and I’ll answer the questions directly, honestly and candidly. That’s all I can say.” Armstrong stopped at the Livestrong Foundation on his way to the interview and said, “I’m sorry” to staff members, some of whom broke down in tears. A person with knowledge of that session said Armstrong choked up and several employees cried during the session. The person also said Armstrong apologized for letting the staff down and putting Livestrong at risk, but he did not make a direct confession to using banned drugs. He said he would try to restore the foundation’s reputation, and urged the group to continue fighting for the charity’s mission of helping cancer patients and their families.
An already talented Ball State men’s golf team added another skilled player to its roster Monday. The No. 27 Cardinals picked up Michigan State transfer McCormick Clouser, who will be eligible to play in the spring season. The sophomore has already compiled an impressive résumé in his year-anda-half of collegiate play. He competed in 11 of Michigan State’s 12 events in his inaugural season, averaging a score of 74.76, including CLOUSER four topSophomore 20 finishes. transferred from Michigan His tie for 18th place State at the Big Ten Championship helped earn the Spartans a fourth place finish. For his efforts he was awarded with the “Best First Year Player” team honor by Michigan State. This past fall Clouser played in all six of the team’s events carding an average score of 75.3, earning a top-ten finish and three top-20 finishes. Coach Mike Fleck is excited to add more talent to his impressive record. “[Clouser] adds depth to our team,” Fleck said. “He is definitely capable of competing for a spot on our top-five and fits right in there, it will

be really interesting how it works out.” On campus and enrolled full-time at Ball State, Clouser is looking to make an instant impact on the team. Because the NCAA recognizes golf as a spring sport and because of some uniqueness to the sport, Clouser will be able to compete this spring. Hailing from Bluffton, Ind., Clouser attended Norwell High School, where he posted impressive numbers and met many of the current Ball State players in summer play. “These Indiana kids know each other,” Fleck said. “He probably knows most of the guys on our team as well as he knew the guys on his team at Michigan State.” This is also not the first encounter Fleck has had with Clouser. “We actually recruited [Clouser] out of high school,” Fleck said. “He was definitely on our radar.” The Cardinals will begin their spring season by hosting the Mid-American Conference Match Play on Feb. 11 at Lake Jovita Golf and Country Club in Dade City, Fla.

POLICE LOOKING FOR NFL RECEIVER
JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) — Police in Jersey City said they’ve been trying to contact Tennessee Titans wide receiver and former Rutgers University football star Kenny Britt to question him about an incident Sunday in which he allegedly drove a friend to the hospital after the man had been stabbed at a party. Capt. Edgar Martinez said police need to interview everyone who was present at a Jersey City house party Sunday in which someone fired a gun through a first floor window and Britt’s friend was stabbed. No one was struck in the shooting, Martinez said. “We need to interview all the parties involved, and [Britt] has refused to come in, so the statements that he’s putting out that he’s cooperated with the investigation are false. We’re trying to ascertain his location,” Martinez said, adding that authorities are discussing their next steps with the Hudson County Prosecutor’s office. “There was a stabbing and a shooting in the same incident — and we need to speak to everyone who was there,” Martinez said. “[Britt] drove the guy to the hospital. [Britt] was at a dinner, the party, with his pregnant girlfriend.” Britt’s agent, Bill Johnson, did not immediately respond to an email from the AP. The Titans also had no immediate comment Monday. NFL officials will be looking into this latest incident involving Britt and police.

Cyclist Lance Armstrong admitted to using performance-enhancing drugs Monday as part of an interview with Oprah Winfrey. The official interview will air Thursday on Winfrey’s network.
Armstrong spoke to a room full of about 100 staff members for about 20 minutes, expressing regret for everything the controversy has put them through, the person said. He told them how much the foundation means to him and that he considers the people who work there to be like members of his family. None of the people in the room challenged Armstrong over his long denials of doping.
Winfrey and her crew had earlier said they would film Monday’s session at Armstrong’s home. As a result, local and international news crews were encamped near the cyclist’s Spanish-style villa before dawn. Armstrong still managed to slip away for a run despite the crowds outside his home. He returned by cutting through a neighbor’s yard and hopping a fence.
COLTS HIRE RAYE TO FRONT OFFICE
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indianapolis Colts have hired Jimmy Raye as their new vice president of football operations. He replaces Tom Telesco, who was named San Diego’s general manager late last week. Raye spent the last five seasons as the Chargers’ director of player personnel where he was in charge of the team’s pro and college scouting departments and assisted with player personnel matters. Colts GM Ryan Grigson calls Raye a “topnotch” evaluator and says he’s eager to work with Raye heading into the offseason. Raye was a scout for the Chargers from 1996-99, then became the Chargers’ director of college scouting until 2007 and was promoted again in 2008. He started his NFL career as Kansas City’s quality control coach in 1995. His father, Jimmy, is on Tampa Bay’s coaching staff.

school sponsor trade group, the National Association of Charter School Authorizers, said in a recent report that Ball State hasn’t done an adequate job of overseeing the charter schools it sponsors. Although Ball State officials have until March 1 to announce the fate of the 20 charter schools being reviewed, Marra said the decision will be made soon to give students and parents time to make other arrangements if a school’s charter is not renewed. Danielle Sleight, the school board president of Charter School of the Dunes in Gary, acknowledged that the school’s students are struggling academically and that the school has had several principals in the decade since it opened. “We understand our letter grade is an F,� Sleight told The Times of Munster. “We understand that looks terrible.�

renewed, being granted contract extensions that generally run for three years or a five-year renewal that could be shortened or revoked. Marra said that lowperforming schools should not be renewed. “Obviously, the primary purpose of the school is academic so the emphasis is on academics,� he said. “But you can have stellar academic performance but still have financial or governance issues and still be closed.� Charter schools are alternative public schools that have had more curriculum freedom than traditional schools, but state law was changed last year to hold charters to the same academic standards as public schools. Lawmakers also approved allowing a second office, the Indiana Charter School Board, to authorize charter schools in the state. The Indianapolis Star reported last month that a charter

Conferences inspire student faith IndyCC, Seek 2013 provide speakers, encourage outreach over Winter Break DANIEL BROUNT SENIOR COPY EDITOR years as a student and four years | djbrount@bsu.edu as a part of the staff. Rather than spend all of Winter Break at home, a group of Ball State students chose to reinforce their Christian faith by attending religious conferences, such as the Indy Christmas Conference in Indianapolis and Seek 2013 in Orlando, Fla.
INDYCC
About 150 Ball State students attended. Students from Campus Crusade for Christ in other colleges across Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and Michigan also attended the annual event. The conference took place from Dec. 28, 2012, to Jan. 1, 2013, at the JW Marriot in Indianapolis. This year’s theme was “Immerse.” Bridget Hedinger, campus director of Ball State’s CRU, was a part of the team that put together the conference. “It’s really cool for me to have a role in changing the lives of students,” Hedinger said. “It was great being a part of planning the big picture of what the event could be like and to be a part of executing and shaping it.” The conference included a variety of events, including a Day of Outreach where participants delivered Holiday Care Boxes to people in need. The conference also hosted a New Year’s Eve party, where junior theatre design and technology, theatre education and telecommunications triple major Cait Molloy said she enjoyed praying in the new year. This was the second time she had attended IndyCC. “IndyCC was such a great place to grow and learn,” Molloy said. “This year it was exciting to see people grow and experience it in new ways since I knew what was going to happen this time. IndyCC creates a lot of opportunities to grow and to hear new different views.” Hedinger has also been involved with IndyCC for multiple years. She attended for four
“It’s really helpful to help connect with God,” Hedinger said. “It’s about putting ourselves in a position to hear something we wouldn’t normally hear and learn about small encounters with God that change the trajectory of our lives; it’s God who orchestrates it all.” In the past, Hedinger has also worked as an emcee for the conference. Molloy also took the stage this year when she performed as a part of Ball State’s Offscript[ure]. Molloy said those planning IndyCC wanted Offscript[ure] “to do a type of old churchy choir with hymns and stuff, which ended up with us singing traditional tunes.” The crowd of about 2,000 people was the largest group Offscript[ure] has performed for. Hedinger said she was proud to see the work students put into the conference and to see them take the lessons and speakers at the conference seriously. One of Molloy’s favorite speakers, Paul Tripp, discussed being open minded and having questions about faith. “It’s okay to ask questions and not know all the answers, to seek out and see what we find,” Molloy said.
SEEK 2013
FOCUS, the Fellowship of Catholic University Students, presents their national Seek convention every few years. Ball State students got involved with the aid of the university’s FOCUS missionaries. Ball State took approximately 160 students, including some from other colleges such as Purdue University and IUPUI, to Orlando, Fla., to attend the Seek 2013 conference from Jan. 2 to 6. Though missionary Lisa Papiernik saw some students were nervous on the bus ride to Orlando, she said throughout the trip she “saw things click for them, and that

brought a lot of joy.” “One of the best parts is seeing people get so inspired,” said Kate Beard, a senior dietetics major. “People learn a lot about what life is about.” Like IndyCC, the conference involves a lot of speakers and entertainment. Each day at the conference began with mass. “I loved seeing so many people passionate about their faith,” said Jeremy Peat, a junior telecommunications major. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen 6,000 people in one place before. Seeing all these people at mass gave me hope for our generation.” Although there were about 6,000 people present, Ball State’s attendees still managed to show their spirit. “We’d chirp to find each other,” Beard said. “We got other schools there to start chirping, thinking it was just a sign, and other people would do it to catch
each other’s attention.” Ball State’s high number of students also allowed them to get preferential seating for some events. Freshman secondary math education major Max Browning took advantage of this, getting front row when musician Matt Maher performed. “His songs are so powerful because they all have such a good Catholic message,” Browning said. “He took his talent and turned it into a God gift.” Along with entertainment like Maher, the conference featured numerous speakers. One of the messages that impacted Beard the most came from a speech on authentic beauty. “Whenever we go on trips, we’ll look at something absolutely gorgeous. God’s creation is amazing and so beautiful,” Beard said. “And of all of these things, God chose to make you in His image. Your

iTunes is showcasing the last three episodes of this season’s “Downton Abbey” Monday for people in North Ameria. People with iTunes season passes will be able to see the episodes before they air on television.
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — Select “Downton Abbey” fans are in for an early viewing treat and bragging rights. Apple said Monday that people in North America who hold iTunes season passes will be able to see this season’s last three episodes of “Downton” before they air. The period drama’s second season was the best-selling TV series on iTunes last year, Apple said, without
disclosing the numbers. The exclusive preview of a TV series is the first for iTunes, the company said. The third season of “Downton Abbey” began Jan. 6 with an episode that drew nearly 8 million viewers, quadrupling PBS’ average prime-time audience. The drama about British landed gentry and their household servants stars Hugh Bonneville, Dan Stevens and Michelle Dockery. Episodes are available beginning Jan. 29 on iTunes. The season finale airs Feb. 17 on PBS’ “Masterpiece” showcase. Whether iTunes viewers can hold their tongues, spoilers about major plot twists already are out because the series has
aired in Britain. That’s raised questions about whether PBS should have aired “Downton” concurrently with its ITV fall debut in the U.K. Speaking to the Television Critics Association on Monday, PBS chief Paula Kerger said putting “Downton” in the teeth of the competitive U.S. fall TV season may not serve the show or its audience. But PBS is keeping an eye on the situation and talking to stations and viewers about the issue, she said.

her own, but in a community. “You’re never going to grow in a solo relationship with God,” Browning said. “It’s your own faith, but you can’t think of it as your own. You need to grow with others.”
RATINGS RISE FOR GOLDEN GLOBES
NEW YORK (AP) — The Nielsen Co. said Sunday’s Golden Globes awards ceremony got a nice ratings bump over last year. With Tina Fey and Amy Poehler handling host duties, the NBC telecast was seen by 19.7 million viewers. That’s an audience growth of 2.8 million viewers (or 17 percent) over last year’s show, which was hosted by Ricky Gervais. It was the top-rated Globes in six years, according to national figures released Monday. For the fourth year, the Globes were televised live to all time zones, and some western markets also carried an encore telecast following the live coverage, which began at 5 p.m. Pacific time. NBC said the telecast is currently the season’s most-watched awards program, topping the CMA Awards, Emmy Awards, American Music Awards and People’s Choice Awards. The Grammy Awards will be hosted Feb. 10. The Academy Awards are Feb. 24.
