Frog baby repairs to cost approx. $3,000 Former student to have preliminary trial for criminal mischief EMMA KATE FITTES CHIEF REPORTER | emfittes@bsu.edu
While Frog Baby is waiting to be repaired, a former Ball State student charged with the vandalism of it awaits her preliminary trial on March 7 to begin negotiation for her criminal mischief charge. The iconic Frog Baby statue is currently waiting to be shipped to Venus Bronze Works in Detroit, which is
best known for its work on the Solider and Sailors monument in Indianapolis, Jim Lowe, director of Engineering and Construction Operations, said. The statue was vandalized and spray painted gold in December. “We all hope we can get it in their hands, they can evaluate it, do their work and get it back to us before graduation,” Lowe said. Hannah Leath was charged with criminal mischief, a class B misdemeanor. Lowe said officers followed marks that were left, one of which included her initials, and used the security camera foot-
age of Frog Baby on Dec. 12. Leath’s lawyer, Kelly Bryan, said under Indiana law the penalty for Leath’s misdemeanor could range from no jail time or fine to up to 180 days in jail and a fine of up to $1,000. “My first opportunity to talk to the prosecutor and his attitude about the case will be at that pretrial; I have not talked to him before so I don’t know,” Bryan said. “It’s really not a routine case.” Bryan also said there is a possibility Leath will have to pay for the cost to repair all damages.

Basal cells are made up of keratinocytes (see below) and continually divide to form new keratinocytes. This is the dead skin that peels from the body.
Avoid being outside during midday hours. Sunscreen is a MUST. Seek cover if outdoors to prevent overexposure to the sun.
IN THE BED: UV TANNING Most tanning booths and beds emit UVA and UVB radiation like the sun. Forced tanning is associated with DNA damage in the melanocytes. Here is how they work:
MELANIN
These cells protect from desctructive UV radiation.
•T he UVA radiation triggers the melanin pigment in your upper skin cells to immediately fade away after a few hours of exposure.
KERATINOCYTES
•T he minimum quantity of UVB rays released generate the tanning reaction where new melanin is produced and distributed between the upper skin cells.
These cells make an important protein called keratin that helps the skin protect the rest of the body.
SMART FACTS | SMART NUMBERS
MELANOCYTE
• Tanning for your first time before the age of 35 increases your risk for developing melanoma skin cancer by 87%. • Melanoma is the second most common form of cancer for young people 15-29 years old.
This type of skin cell produces melanin, which gives the skin its pigmentation.

UVC RADIATION
These rays have the longest wavelength and are the most common UV rays you come in contact with. They penetrate the dermis of your skin, causing skin to age and wrinkle. The rays can also affect your immune system.
The earth’s ozone layer absorbs some of these rays, which have medium wavelengths that prompt the production melanin. UVB rays are known for darkening and thickening of your skin, and delayed tanning and burning.
All of UVC rays are absorbed by the earth’s ozone layer and do not reach Earths surface. These rays have the shortest wavelengths, but are known to be the most damaging UV radiation.

Sequester could impact students Less grants to be offered if agreement can’t be reached RACHEL PODNAR CHIEF REPORTER | rmpodnar@bsu.edu Indiana college students could feel the brunt of budget cuts if Congress fails to come to a budget agreement and the sequester goes into effect. The sequester was an arrangement Congress came to in order to motivate themselves to agree on budget cuts, hoping mandatory cuts would spur compromise. It has also been referred to as the fiscal cliff. Congress, however, has yet to come to an agreement and time is dwindling down as they only have until 11:59 p.m. Friday. While Pell Grants are exempt from the planned cuts, college students could be affected in other ways.

After a five-point loss to Valparaiso in the non-conference finale, the Ball State women’s basketball team was sitting at 3-10, on the brink of another disappointing conference season. First-year coach Brady Sallee had a doubt or two about being able to rebound from a poor non-conference season. “In my office, I was a little bit nervous about where this thing was going and how we were going to get it turned around,” Sallee said. “Luckily these kids bought in, and we got it going.“ Since that time, Ball State has won 10 of its last 13 games,
putting its record at an even .500, something unheard of in mid-January. As clichéd as it sounds, Sallee coached his team into focusing on one game at a time. “For us, it really was about just being 1-0 today,” Sallee said. “Whether we were 3-10 or 10-3. ... We kept coming at them with that mantra.” Sallee said he hasn’t paid much attention to the Mid-American Conference standings so far. “We’ve still got three big games left, three senior nights. Including our own,” Sallee said. “We’re going to have our hands full.” One of those big games on Sallee’s mind is tonight’s contest at Central Michigan at 7 p.m. The Cardinals won the first matchup this season, 68-61, in arguably its biggest win of the season so far. Sophomore Crystal Bradford is leading Central Michigan in scoring with 15 points per game, but she scored just seven
on Feb. 7. Ball State held her to just 3-of-20 from the field in the game. One Ball State player that won’t be available to play against Central Michigan tonight is freshman point guard Taylor Miller. Miller got hurt on Feb. 10 against Toledo, and won’t return for the rest of the season. In her absence, Brittany Carter has stepped in at the point guard spot when staring point guard Brandy Woody has to rest. Sallee also said Lyzz Smith’s minutes have increased due to the injury. With the experience of 116 appearances throughout her collegiate career, senior Shanee’ Jackson wasn’t worried when sitting at the 3-10 mark. “We all knew coming into MAC play that we’re going to be 0-0,” Jackson said. “We all know what our goal is and what we’re working toward.” Senior day isn’t until Sunday against Western Michigan for
Jackson, so she’s concentrating on what’s directly in front of her right now. She has also battled a nagging knee injury over the past couple of years, but she still wants to finish what she started this season. “It’s kind of just getting used to it and trying to work through it,” Jackson said of her knee. “I don’t wish to hurry up and be done. I first want to accomplish what we have for our goals.“ She said she physically could play more basketball. In fact, Jackson intends to play overseas after she graduates. A win against Central Michigan tonight would put her team’s conference record at 11-3 and in sole possession of second place, just behind Toledo. “[Central Michigan] is going to be a huge game for us, then Sunday it’s probably going to be a little emotional for me,” Jackson said. “But if it’s another win, I’m glad.”
Whether it was NFL teams wanting to know how far he can punt a football or what is his choice of beer, former Ball State punter Scott Kovanda has a busy schedule preparing for what he hopes is a job in professional football. Since Ball State’s season ended, Kovanda has participated in the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl, the NFL Combine and worked out for the Philadelphia Eagles on Feb. 25. He also plans to participate in Ball State’s and Michigan’s Pro Days. Kovanda said getting to experience the combine was a cool experience, but it was also stressful. “The NFL kind of does it on purpose,” he said. “The first day you only get like four hours of sleep. ... They want you out of your comfort zone a little bit and then see how you do with the interviews and see how you perform on the field after that.” His time at the Combine included getting to meet with special teams coaches from all 32 teams and punting drills that measured distance and height. His performance at the Combine resulted in a workout at Scheumann Stadium with the special teams coach from the Eagles earlier this week. “There’s been interest prior,” Kovanda said. “The special teams coach said I was one of the top four guys he was looking at from the Combine.” Coach Pete Lembo said Kovanda is in a different situation than most players trying to reach the NFL because of his academics.
• Punts: 229 • Yards per Punt: 41.0 • Touchbacks: 19 • Punts inside 20: 80 • Punts fair caught: 60 • 50-Yard+ punts: 36 Kovanda has already graduated with a 3.9 GPA with a major in finance and minor in sales. Lembo said the goal of redshirt players, which Kovanda was, is to have them graduate by December should they have potential to make it to the next level. But even if Kovanda doesn’t land on a NFL roster by summer, he won’t be without a job. “He has some job opportunities waiting for him,” Lembo said. “He’s positioned perfectly to give this thing a shot. If it doesn’t work out, obviously he’s in great shape to progress right into his career.” But he will have history on his side when it comes to Ball State punters making the NFL. Reggie Hodges and Brad Manyard are two most recent former punters to play professionally, a list Kovanda hopes to add his name. “That’d be huge for me,” he said. “When I came in my freshman year that’s one thing I heard was ‘Punter U’ and I sort of accepted the challenge. I’ve gone up to Chicago to keep up with Brad Maynard and I talk to Reggie Hodges quite a bit. It’d mean a lot, not just to myself, but to keep the tradition with the other guys.” But as for Kovanda’s preferred choice of beer? Labatt Blue.

‘Original Muncie’ revamps town image Muncie graduates make positive video to show downtown

ARIC CHOKEY STAFF REPORTER aachokey@bsu.edu
Even though their Traverse City, Mich.-based agency is a 6-hour drive north, owners of Intersection overcame the distance to help their hometown revamp its image. Chance Benbow, Andy Kennedy and Tyler Hernly are all graduates of Delta High School in Muncie and founders of Intersection, a marketing agency that is lending a hand to the nonprofit Muncie Downtown Development Partnership to revitalize the reputation of Muncie and instill pride into its residents through a campaign named “DWNTWN: The Original Muncie.” The name originated from the campaign’s goal to empower everyone, regardless of age. “The Original Muncie” has dual meaning, the first of which is to honor the rich history of Muncie and those

who have lived in the city for a long time, Benbow said “The other way the ‘Original’ works is for millennials,” he said. “They like original, authentic things. That’s why they wear Levi’s, Chuck Taylors and collect records. In this digital age, millennials want authentic, original, tangible things, not this marketing b.s.” The spelling of “DWNTWN” gave the campaign a twist that shook off apathetic connotations of the city. “A lot of times, people are complacent about Muncie, but we feel that if it was seen in a better light that they would reconsider what Muncie is,” Benbow said. “We just want people to be proud of where they live, and there’s a rich history that Muncie has.” Intersection created a video that was shot mostly in downtown Muncie. It has received more than 6,000 hits on YouTube since it was added on Feb. 21. “The number of people who have responded surprise me,” said Vicki Veach, executive director of MDDP. “It’s even

coming from outside of the state of Indiana. We couldn’t be happier at this point.” Benbow said that the campaign started when MDDP wanted a simple logo for the campaign. “We told them, ‘Hey, we can do a new logo, but how about we do a pride-instilling, consideration changing
movement for the downtown area?’ and they got on board with it,” Benbow said. “It became a rallying cry for all of downtown Muncie.” The video is only one part of the “The Original Muncie” brand. A new website was also created that features news and other information about the partnership’s
growing platform. “We have gone from about 12 partnerships in 2011 to almost 47 partnerships in 2012,” Veach said. Those partnerships and cooperations are what is driving the goals of the nonprofit MDDP. But the organization is not just making friends and spreading a message.

FROG BABY: Statue to return after restoration | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 So far, the university has paid $1,840 to clean nine different locations that were spray painted, including sidewalks, light poles and a push button at the Scramble Light, Lowe said. He said initial cost estimates for removing the paint from Frog Baby are anywhere between $3,000 to $5,000. A local company will deliver the statue to Detroit within the next week. Peter Blume, Museum of Art director, recommended Venus Bronze Works and gave Lowe suggestions on how to crate Frog Baby. “We wanted to make sure it was done properly,” Lowe said. Blume said it was important to have a structure that would cushion the statue on the inside, but be strong enough on the outside to protect it from anything crashing into it during delivery. Blume said he referred those in charge of the statue to Venus Bronze Works because of the extent of the damage. “It’s very serious,” Blume said. “But I think the spray paint is removable.” Blume said it was selfish to spray paint Frog Baby. “I think works of art like Frog Baby and the setting of the fountain are important touchstones for everyone that goes to Ball State,” Blume said. “They deserve to be treated respectfully.” Blume and Lowe said that once restored, Frog Baby should go right back to the fountain.

Speakers say dolls, toys have effect on body image Event addresses young diet styles, advertising trends

ARIC CHOKEY STAFF REPORTER aachokey@bsu.edu
G.I. Joe and Barbie are not only childhood toys, but reflections of media and society’s views about what the ideal person looks like, according to Wednesday’s National Eating Disorder Awareness Week event titled “Mirror, Mirror on the Wall.” Haley Armstrong, a senior psychology major and speaker at the event, said in 1964, the average G.I. Joe’s toy arms were proportionate to 12.2 inches on a real person. In 1994, that measurement increased to 26.8 inches. “It’s not just college students and those listening to media who are affected, but younger kids as well,” Armstrong said. But how much does that really register in a child’s mind? According to the presentation, a lot. “Eighty percent of fourthgrade girls are on diets and one-third of girls ages 12 to 13 are dieting,” said Jason Walls, a Ball State masters student. The presentation also addressed the use of diet products and trends in advertising by manufacturers, who according to Walls, are just selling products. “A lot of these [products] are not even FDA approved,”

Graduate Student Jason Walls talks about the unhealthy body expectations that are projected by the media. The lecture was hosted in Park Hall and was part of the National Eating Disorder Awareness Week.
Walls said. “So you get all these messages saying you need it, and then they make $50 billion a year off of stuff that doesn’t work.” That multibillion-dollar industry has gotten its business from a population that, according to Armstrong, has become obsessed with body image and adhering to standards set by mainstream media. “It takes three minutes for someone to look in a magazine and start feeling self-conscious,” Armstrong said as she pointed at pictures of Channing Tatum and Hugh Jackman on a screen behind her. Armstrong also said that a study in Fiji in 1994 showed the effects of television on the culture of the local
population, which had never had a word for eating disorders and even looked down upon being thin. “TV came and 15 percent of women developed an eating disorder,” Armstrong said. “It’s really important to be critical of images in media.” Walls said recognizing that people come in all shapes and sizes and being reminded of that often is one important step to combatting the constant barrage of shallow messages. Walls said the messages can also come from friends and surrounding people, not just media, which can be poisonous. “Sometimes your friends suck and you need to tell them that they suck because it’s healthy for you,” Walls said.
“Our mission is to have sustainable economic and cultural growth in the downtown area,” Veach said. The organization has also written up a plan that includes improving the appearance of downtown facades and other areas, uniting the banner system and improving traffic flow while keeping city funding at a minimum by increasing fundraising and acquiring grants. The plan will be revised in April, according to Veach. “The campaign was part of our marketing goals,” she said. “This is just a kick-off of the original message.” “Our goal is to put downtown in the mind of not just this community, but surrounding communities, when they think about going out and shopping and looking for entertainment or a place to eat,” Veach said. It will happen if residents feel more pride in the city, Benbow said. “There was always a special spot in our hearts for Muncie,” he said. “It’s a cool town and there’s a lot to be proud of.”
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Supreme Court’s conservative justices voiced deep skepticism Wednesday about a section of a landmark civil rights law that has helped millions of Americans exercise their right to vote. In an ominous note for supporters of the key provision of the Voting Rights Act, Justice Anthony Kennedy both acknowledged the measure’s vital role in fighting discrimination and suggested that other important laws in U.S. history had run their course. “Times change,” Kennedy said during the fastpaced, 70-minute argument. Kennedy’s views are likely to prevail on the closely divided court, and he tends to side with his more conservative colleagues on matters of race. The court’s liberals and conservatives engaged in a sometimes tense back-and-forth over whether there is still a need in 2013 for the part of the voting rights law that requires states with a history of discrimination against blacks, mainly in the Deep South, to get approval before making changes in the way elections are held. Justice Antonin Scalia called the law a “perpetuation of racial entitlement.” Chief Justice John Roberts, a vocal skeptic of the use of race in all areas of public life, cited a variety of statistics that showed starker racial disparities in some aspects of voting in the northeastern state of Massachusetts than in the southern state of Mississippi. Then he asked the government’s top Supreme Court lawyer whether the Obama administration thinks “the citizens in the South are more racist than citizens in the North?” The answer from Solicitor General Donald Verrilli was no. The question, and others
BREAKDOWN Arguments debate question of if there is still a need in 2013 for the part of the voting rights law that requires states with a history of discrimination against blacks, mainly in the Deep South, to get approval before making changes in the way elections are held.
like it from the conservative justices, largely echoed the doubts they first expressed four years ago in a similar case that ended without resolving the constitutionality of the latest renewal of the voting rights law, in 2006. They questioned whether there remain appreciable differences between the locations covered by the law and those that are not. They also wondered whether there was any end in sight for a provision that intrudes on states’ rights to conduct elections and which was regarded as an emergency response to decades of state-sponsored discrimination in voting, despite the U.S Constitution’s Fifteenth Amendment guarantee of the vote for black Americans. The provision shifted the legal burden and required governments that were covered to demonstrate that their proposed changes would not discriminate. Another part of the voting rights law, not being challenged, allows for traditional, after-the-fact claims of discrimination in voting and applies across the country. As his administration was defending the voting rights law, President Barack Obama was across the street at the Capitol unveiling a statue of civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks, who in 1955 famously refused to give up her seat on a city bus in Montgomery, Alabama, to a white man. The court will have to decide whether the conditions that gave rise to that seminal event are, like the statue, a part of history, or whether they persist in parts of the nation.
SEQUESTER: Student says it’s reflection of country’s state | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “If a student has someone helping support them who works for the government, they are more likely to be impacted in a way that another student who has two working parents in private sector with job security will not be,” Reagan said. Cuts will take place across the board in areas like law enforcement, mental health and social security. Students may feel the effects from any of the other areas of cuts. Freshman political science
major Michael Mahoney said even as a college student, he doubts it will directly affect him but it is an indicator of the state of the country. “It does have the tendency to remind me of the problem with this country, and makes me wish that we could have sensible people in office,” Mahoney said. “Something is very wrong with this country, and while this sequester in itself isn’t particularly crucial, it does showcase the instability and unchanging nature of this oppressing two-party system.”

DANGEROUS DESTINATIONS Study unveils the most hazardous Spring Break cities

orget slathering on the SPF, you might want to strap on a bulletproof vest instead if you’re planning to travel to any of these areas. A study by legal-research organization Avvo rated areas by looking at a variety of violent crime risks, such as murder and rape, and fatal car crashes and deaths to determine the deadliest vacation cities. Of the top ten most dangerous, Florida accounts for five of the cities where a hangover could be the least of your worries.
1
5
Orlando, Fla.
Yes, the home of Disney World proves to be the diciest of destinations. The study found that this city has double the amount of violent crime risk than any of the other Spring Break cities.
2 3
6 7
Daytona Beach, Fla.
Dubbed by a local Fla. newspaper as “Florida’s Rape Capital,” this shoreline is at least 21 percent worse than the average of the other cities.
Las Vegas, Nev.
Sin City, though experiencing a 13 percent drop in crime in 2012, has made recent headlines with a car-to-car shoot out, a movie theater parking lot shooting and an elevator stabbing. If you’re heading to the Strip, keep your “wolf pack” close.
4
West Palm Beach, Fla.
According to the city’s 2012 annual crime report, arson, homicide larceny and robbery have gone up for the year. But breathe easy because aggravated assaults, auto theft, burglaries and sex offenses have dropped.
South Padre Island, Texas According to Avvo’s data, South Padre Island has the highest rape rate among all other cities surveyed.
New Orleans, La.
New Orleans has the highest murder rate with over eight times the average of most other destination spots.
8. Panama City, Fla. 9. Jacksonville, Fla. 10. Miami, Fla. 11. Fort Myers, Fla. 12. Galveston, Texas
According to the Myrtle Beach crime index, released annually by police, show that violent crimes have increased by 31 incidents in 2012.
SPRING BREAK SAFETY CHECKLIST
Safety isn’t always at the top of the priority list for most students as they head off to the beaches, lakes and popular cities for Spring Break. Don’t let your Spring Break become a horror story, by keeping this checklist in mind. • I.D. & important documents • Emergency numbers • Turn on “Locate My Phone” • Don’t talk/text/drink and drive
• Travel in pairs • Wear sunscreen • Drink water • Bring condoms • Leave the valuables at home – CARIEMA WOOD

KEEP THE SPRING BREAK BRAGGING TO YOURSELVES When you work two jobs and wonder how your peers can afford an iPhone and a Spring Break flight to Miami when you’re barely able to make rent, the week before the big break can put you on full snark-mode. For those stepping onto a cruise ship while the rest of us are dusting off our hometown work uniforms, here are some things to avoid:
PRE-BREAK BRAGGING
Put down the brochures before the travel agency starts paying you commission. Yes, that picture of the hammock resting under a palm tree at sunset looks fantastic. Traveling is a valuable experience, but keep the overt bragging to the minimum to avoid the “Oh, I’m sure you have more opportunity than I do because of sheer merit, anyways,” eye roll from your cash-strapped peers. Also, go easy on the “natural tan” you’re trying to accomplish before vacation. It’s February in Indiana. We know it, you know it and the people of Mexico/Florida/California will too.
THE SOCIAL MEDIA PARADE
It’s a good way of keeping contact with friends back home and family, but the keg-stand is sure to not impress Dad or anyone else. There are certain updates and pictures we could live without. Avoid using phrases on your “Cancun 2013” souvenirs for statuses. It makes it all the more blatant that you don’t know Spanish. Also, one more “gang’s all here” bikini shot on the beach may result in many Facebook un-friendings.
THE SLIDESHOW THAT FOLLOWS
ROUNDING THE TOP 15
Myrtle Beach, S.C.
MONDAY Find out how a group of students fared on their alternative Spring Break trip to Caretta, W. Va.
13. Fort Lauderdale, Fla. 14. L ake Havasu City, Ariz. 15. Key West, Fla.
If you can Google “Spring Break” and “MTV” and find creepily identical pictures to the ones you are about to showoff, it might be best to press delete. Sure, we would love to see a sweet view of the ocean, a dolphin or two or some Mayan ruins. But a group photo that could be mistaken for the inside of a Cheetos bag, not so much.

ON THE ROAD AGAIN Four Spring Break road trips that visit Midwestern landmarks, breweries, museums and parks LINDSEY GELWICKS FEATURES EDITOR features@bsudailynews.com

s college students, we are notorious for procrastination — even when it comes to that week we’ve all been counting down since we came back from Winter Break. If you haven’t planned anything yet for Spring Break 2013, no worries. Here are some road trips, that we’ve already planned for you. All you need is a car, a couple friends and an awesome road trip playlist (we suggest our Spotify mix).
THE MIDWEST TRIANGLE: FOR THE CITY NUT

If you’re a city person, check out some of the best the Midwest has to offer. Start off exploring the Crossroads of America, swing over to Gateway to the West and end your adventure in the Windy City. Here are three things do in each city, or wing it and plan your own.

2 ST. LOUIS The Gateway Arch: You can’t leave St. Louis without going up inside the famous arch. Busch Stadium: The Cardinals play three home games against the Twins, the Marlins then the Yankees during the week of Spring Break. With tickets as low as $10, it’s a cheap way to get out. Anheuser Busch Brewery Tour: Two words: free beer. If you’re under 21 you can still go, you just won’t be able to do any taste testing. Did I mention it’s free?
1 INDIANAPOLIS Indianapolis Zoo: After limited hours throughout the winter, the zoo is back to being open 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily starting Friday. Mass Ave Arts District: Head here for food from around the world. Try some Mediterranean cuisine at Aesop’s Tables Café or enjoy traditional German food (and beer!) at the Rathskeller. Museums: Be a kid again at the Children’s Museum, discover American Indian and Western Art at the Eiteljorg or check out the paintings at the Indianapolis Museum of Art.
3 CHICAGO Millenium Park: Take a picture by the Bean, and then go ice skating at the McCormick Tribune Ice Rink. Navy Pier: A Ferris wheel, carousel and putt-putt course. What more could you ask for? Shedd Aquarium: After checking out the sea life, you can head over to the Adler Planetarium or Field Museum of Natural History.

FOR THE MUSIC LOVER Whether you’re a fan of country, soul, classical or rock ’n’ roll, you can explore it all as you hit up some of America’s most quintessential cities for music.
1 NASHVILLE Grand Ole Opry House: Take a tour of country music’s most famous stage. Country Music Hall of Fame: Explore the history of country music with exhibits on artists ranging from Patsy Cline to Taylor Swift. Bluebird Café: Plan to make reservations ahead of time to experience the unplugged songwriters at the Bluebird. 2 MEMPHIS Graceland: Elvis fans can’t leave Memphis without touring the home of The King. Sun Studio: Check out the birthplace of rock ’n’ roll; the first rock ’n’ roll single was recorded here in 1951. Stax Museum of American Soul Music: Once home to Stax Records and headlining artists such as Otis Redding and Aretha Franklin, the site is now the only soul music museum in the world. 3 CLEVELAND Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: It doesn’t get any better than this for rock lovers with exhibits on artists like The Beatles, U2 and Grateful Dead. The Cleveland Orchestra: Take a break from country and rock with one of the nation’s top five orchestras. Bon Jovi Concert: End the trip with a Bon Jovi concert at Quickens Loan Arena on March 9.

FORUM LETTER TO THE EDITOR
SGA SHERIFF DISCUSSES THIS YEAR’S ‘INTENSE, MALICIOUS’ ELECTION PROCESS
Wow, 4,985 votes in a Ball State SGA election. I would have never thought in my four years here that I would see such a voter turnout. Much of this could be attributed to the slate campaign efforts, the outstanding media coverage or the spark of interest in the affairs of the student government. While I’d like to believe that achievement is the result of pure, positive work, I feel as though this year’s numbers are a reflection of an intense, malicious election process. I served as the sheriff on the elections board, and I must say, this election pushed the boundaries of ethics and integrity across the board. I will not sit here and say that it was only campaigns because that’s simply not true. Even on my end, I now realize how much a hasty decision can affect the entire reputation of an organization. Lack of com-
munication, personal attacks, uncalled-for campaign interferences and quick decisions clouded the overall success of this election. While I am glad to see support for the student government from the students, I believe some students’ methods of support are questionable – making verbal attacks, making false calls to the police, messing with campaign materials, insulting people on social media and pestering students. It’s not the campaigns themselves, but rather their loyal following of supporters. It’s a Ball State election. Yes, it’s important to represent student interests, but we’re not running a country here. Calm down. In future elections, I would like to see the campaigns hold their supporters to the standards
to which they hold themselves. Hassling students to vote through sending out emails through blackboard and approaching students with computers might seem like good campaign tactics, but these biased approaches to encourage blind voting is irresponsible. The Student Government Association and their representatives should encourage responsible decision making by taking a neutral approach to the election and tailoring their elections strategies to fit the average students who aren’t involved in SGA. When I say strategies, I don’t mean shoving the elections down every students’ throat because that was completely ridiculous this year. Sacrificing credibility to increase a number is the quickest way to decreasing a reputation.

this on an individual basis and must consult the writer before withholding the name. Those interested in submitting a letter can do so by emailing opinion@bsudailynews.com or editor@bsudailynews.com
Moving forward, I would like to see stricter policies that ensure that dirty campaigning, questionable decisions and collusion do not influence the result of the election. The campaigns and their supporters should encourage informed voting and not pester the students for a number. Finally, the elections board representatives should work with the campaigns to ensure a fair election. I think this election will provide SGA with a stepping-stone for making future elections run more honestly, smoothly and transparently. These thoughts are my own.

Scaife scores 34 in Ball State win Senior had career-high 34 points against Central Michigan
|
Majok Majok, Matt Kamieniecki, Zach Fields and Bo Calhoun out-weighed the Chippewas by an average of 34 pounds, and forced double teams all night, giving clean looks up from behind the arc. The Cardinals did not trail all night, and even extended their cushion to 15 in the second half. Central Michigan chipped away at Ball State’s lead in the second half behind freshman guard Chris Fowler. Fowler, who finished with 18 points and 13 assists, continually got dribble penetration into the lane creating looks for himself and teammates. “I can’t say enough about him, he’s a guy who just wants to win,” Central Michigan head coach Keno Davis said. The true freshman’s performance though was over shadowed and spoiled by the upper classman’s across from him. “Thirty-four points kind of

Senior guard Jauwan Scaife attempts the layup against Central Michigan at Worthen Arena on Feb. 27. Scaife scored a career high during the game with 34 points.
BASEBALL
Ball State’s senior guard Jauwan Scaife stepped up to the foul line. As the 80 percent foul shooter toed the line in his normal routine his cool demeanor reflected what he was feeling on the inside. “You shoot every shot like it’s your first,” Scaife said. “You just put yourself in a zone to knock them down like you always do.” Scaife calmly sunk the pair, but these were far from his first shots of the night. The two free throws with just 16.9 seconds to play gave the senior the last of his career-high 34 points, and effectively shut the door on Central Michigan’s comeback attempt, eventually giving the Cardinals a 95-90 win. Ball State’s shooters were able to get going in large part because its of the inside-out passing. The Cardinal’s front line rotation of
stands for itself,” Davis said. “I think you can make an argument that he’s playing as well as anybody in the conference.” The Cardinals have heated up with Scaife and earned their fourth victory in the last five contests, and the hot streak couldn’t come at a better time. The win keeps the Cardinals in contention for one of the top five spots in the modified Mid-American Conference tournament. Because Toledo is ineligible for the tournament this season, five teams will receive first round byes. Scaife’s career night is the pinnacle thus far of a torrid series of games. After the Central Michigan game Scaife is averaging 23 points per game over the last eight games, leaving his teammates in awe. “I think every time he shoots, it’s going in.” junior forward Chris Bond said.
Maloney will use non-conference to evaluate
Marangon starting to emerge as No. 1 Ball State pitcher DAVID POLASKI STAFF REPORTER | @DavidPolaski
Non-conference games may not have an impact on a team’s Mid-American Conference standings, but that doesn’t mean Ball State coach Rich Maloney will overlook this weekend’s series against Morehead State. Maloney said he plans on using the time to evaluate his team, considering he was introduced as the head coach just last June. Maloney returned to Ball State with virtually no knowledge of
the players on the team and the individual talents they possess. The squad of assistants he brought is from across the country, and all have the same problem he’s encountered. He wants to use these games to learn about his team and what needs to be changed so the Cardinals can have success once they start MAC play. “It’s like there’s a preseason and there’s a MAC season,” Maloney said. “Our job because we’re new to the program and have barely seen these kids play live, is to gather as much information as we can.” Adjustments are still coming as the team progresses through its non-conference schedule. Once it’s over, the pitching rotation in
particular should be finalized. “Once we’re in MAC play, we have our 1-2-3 pitchers set up, we have our closer set up, we have our late inning reliever set up,” Maloney said. “We want to be the best we can be to compete in those close games.” Maloney is excited about some of the relieving prospects he’s seen so far, praising two of his long inning relievers. “[Jon] Cisna and [Clay] Manering were tremendous for us,” Maloney said. “I hope they can keep this up against Morehead State and continue it down the line for us.” Ball State will also need pitchers to step up for their occasional Tuesday and Wednesday games. One choice, redshirt junior
team that’s scoring five runs per game and is hitting .272, with just a 4-5 record. “You always want to win,” Maloney said. “On the flip side, we have a bigger picture here and it’s grooming this team for MAC play.” Despite the upcoming series against Morehead State and a two-game stretch against South Carolina immediately after, Maloney remains focused on his own team. “You put through the kids through drills and watch how they respond during specific ingame situations,” Maloney said. “Sometimes you have to take a calculated risk to determine if they’ll be successful. I need these games to evaluate them.”
