Ball State awaits ranking
Ball State only unbeaten team, no wins against ranked teams EVAN BARNUM-STEGGERDA CHIEF REPORTER | @Slice_of_Evan Despite the Ball State’s men’s volleyball team’s success this season, it has yet to garner any national recognition, due to its feeble schedule.

3 SLATES TO CAMPAIGN FOR SGA BOARD Each slate receives at least one violation, fee for early campaigning

T
hree slates will campaign over the next three weeks to prove to students who should take the executive board positions of not just Student Government Association, but of the student body. All three slates received violations for early campaigning; campaigning isn’t permitted until after the Nomination Convention, which took place at 8:30 p.m. on Monday. Spark received three violations, totaling in $110 in fees. Cardinal United lost $45 of their mandatory $200 bond for two violations. Fusion will pay $30 for one early campaigning violation. Charges are determined by the elections board based on the amount of people affected by the early campaigning. Kevin Thurman, elections board chairman, said he believed each of the slates early campaigning was most likely accidental, but the job of the elections board is to make sure the slates are following the SGA elections code.

STUDENTS REFLECT ON SURVIVAL OF TWO IN SETON HALL DORM FIRE
Boy safe, abductor dead after standoff
Ala. man kept 5-year-old boy as hostage in bunker, abducting him off a bus | THE ASSOCIATE PRESS
MIDLAND CITY, Ala. — Officers stormed an underground bunker in Alabama where a 5-year-old boy had been held hostage for nearly a week, rescuing the child and leaving the boy’s abductor dead, officials said Monday. Steve Richardson with the FBI’s office in Mobile, Ala., said at a news conference Monday afternoon that negotiations had deteriorated with 65-year-old Jimmy Lee Dykes. Dykes, who a week earlier had abducted the child from a school bus after fatally shooting the driver, had been seen with a gun. Officers believed the boy was in imminent danger, Richardson said. Officers stormed the bunker just after local time to rescue the child, who was taken to a hospital in nearby Dothan. Officials have said the
child has Asperger’s syndrome. However, it was not immediately clear how Dykes died. Daryle Hendry, who lives about a quarter-mile from where Dykes’ bunker was located, said he heard a boom Monday afternoon, followed by what sounded like a gunshot, all around the time officials said they stormed the bunker. Neighbors described Dykes as a man who once beat a dog to death with a lead pipe, threatened to shoot children for setting foot on his property and patrolled his yard at night with a flashlight and a firearm. The crisis in Alabama unfolded amid a divisive nationwide debate over gun control and the safety of schoolchildren after the December shooting that killed 20 children and six adults at a Connecticut elementary school. President Barack Obama traveled to Minnesota on Monday to rally from the public and law enforcement community for his calls to ban assault weapons and install universal background checks for gun buyers.

Thirteen years after a deadly dormitory fire at Seton Hall University, two survivors shared their story of overcoming adversity Monday at Pruis Hall. The documentary, “After the Fire,” follows Alvaro Llanos and Shawn Simons, who were living in Boland Hall at the New Jersey catholic school with about 600 other first-year students when a fire broke out in the third-floor lounge on Jan. 19, 2000. The fire killed three students and injured more than 58 others. Llanos and Simons were two of the four most severely burnt victims. “We went through one of the worst tragedies of our life,” Simons said. “This fire destroyed many lives and it opened up many eyes across the country as far as fire safety.

Cards focus on current opponents Freshman forward earns MAC West award, first of career POLASKI STAFF REPORTER | DAVID @DavidPolaski Brady Sallee isn’t the type of coach likely to get caught looking ahead in the schedule. A dangerous risk, teams sometimes pay the price of being distracted by a looming game against a strong team, and end up losing to a below average squad because they didn’t adequately prepare. For Sallee, Ball State’s women’s basketball coach, this isn’t an option. When asked late last week about how he wants to game plan for Central Michigan and Toledo, he said he hadn’t even thought about it. “Right now is the first time that I even knew who we play after Eastern Michigan,” Sallee said, laughing. “All I’m worried about is being 1-0 tomorrow and then we’ll worry about the next one.” At the beginning of last week, Ball State was staring at a schedule that consisted of playing Western and Eastern Michigan, two teams whose combined MAC record is 5-11, and overall records are 11-31. It would have been easy to look past those games in anticipation of what would come next. The Cardinals enter a critical part of their schedule this week. They’ll play Central Michigan and Toledo, who both share the Cardinals’ record of 7-1 in MAC play, and all three are currently tied for first in the MAC West. Still, Sallee insists that looking ahead could have been detrimental, because they wouldn’t be tied for first if they hadn’t concentrated on last week’s games. “I still think it’s early in the conference season, and you

can’t afford to get caught up in all that other crap. You just have to get the next one on your schedule, that’s where my focus is,” Sallee said. That focus propelled Ball State to victory last week, reeling off a blowout win in Western Michigan, and another in Eastern Michigan. One of the keys to Ball State’s DN FILE PHOTO JONATHAN MIKSANEK success has been freshman Nathalie Fontaine.

Senior outside hitter Jamion Hartley doesn’t place much stake in the national polls, and is more worried about controlling what the team can, and has all season — the next opponent in front of them. “It would be nice [to be ranked] to show teams that we are a threat, but all that matters is that we keep winning,” Hartley said. If the Cardinals maintain their undefeated record over the next few weeks, they will relinquish their dark horse label and be on everyone’s radar. Ball State takes on MIVA foes Grand Canyon, IPFW, No. 9 Ohio State, No. 13 Lewis and Loyola. Clearly a victory over Ohio State or Lewis would constitute a marquee victory the voters look for when filling out their ballots, but Grand Canyon and Loyola represent formidable challenges as well.

Groups seek fraud of insurance State to compare unemployment data to catch abusers | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS INDIANAPOLIS — The Marion County prosecutor’s office is teaming with the Indiana Department of Workforce Development to prosecute people suspected of committing unemployment insurance fraud in Indiana. The two agencies announced the partnership Monday, saying working together should make it easier for the state to investigate those who receive unemployment benefits but aren’t entitled to them. The state will compare unemployment benefit data to a directory of new hires to catch those abusing the system, such as those collecting unemployment benefits after they find work. One deputy prosecutor will deal exclusively with these cases, and the agency will work with the Department of Workforce Development to investigate. “Any sort of abuse of the system deprives those who
are approaching the system in an honest and truthful way,” said Marion County Prosecutor Terry Curry. The Department of Workforce Development estimates that fraudulent unemployment claims amounted to $13.1 million in Indiana in 2012. “Every penny counts,” said Department of Workforce Development Commissioner Scott Sanders. “I think it’s key that we continue to go after these funds.” Marion County has jurisdiction over all such cases in the state because the workforce development department’s server for filing for benefits online is in Indianapolis. Other counties will still have the authority to charge individuals they suspect of committing fraud. “There are prosecutor’s offices around the state that would not have the resources or the manpower to approach these types of cases,” Curry said. “If that is the case, we can exercise jurisdiction here [in Marion County].” Officials said they hope this effort will deter people from committing unemployment fraud. Four people were charged on Friday under the new partnership, and others are under investigation.
FIRE: Survivors describe their physical recovery | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Soon after the tragedy, New Jersey passed several laws mandating sprinklers in all college dormitories. Two freshmen, Sean Ryan and Joseph LePore, later admitted to setting a paper banner draped over a couch alight as a prank after a night of drinking. They were each sentenced to five years in prison in 2007. Ryan served 16 months and LePore served 18 months, Simons said. “This story is about overcoming adversity, it’s about having that will to live, it’s about us being comfortable in our own skin,” Simons said. “You look in the mirror and that’s not the person who was there yesterday.” Simons was in a coma for two weeks and Llanos was in an induced coma for three months. Both suffered severe scars on their faces and hands and had to endure intensive therapy. “Our outside is affected, but our inside is still the same,” Simons said. “That’s what really helped me, is being yourself.” After the fire, Llanos met and married his wife and had children. Simons got engaged. Together, Simons and Llanos went back to school.
“We used the three F’s to get through: family, friends and faith,” Simons said. Simons said they found out 38 states didn’t have sprinkler laws, and they decided to make sure the Seton Hall fire didn’t repeat itself. They travel to colleges across the country in order to spread the message of fire safety and visit burn survivors to give them hope. Mitch Isaacs, associate director of Student Life, made the decision to have Simons and Llanos come speak. “It’s such a powerful story,” Isaacs said. “People were crying; there were sniffles. Also, it’s been a two hour program and [there are] people sticking around to talk to them. I think that says something.” Darian Bailey, a freshman pre-medicine major, and Kathleen Mcilwain, a sophomore theatre major, found the speech inspirational. “This could be real,” Bailey said. “I played it out in my head, how it could happen to me.” Mcilwain also started thinking about her own fire safety. “I’m so glad I am on the second floor [of Park Hall],” Mcilwain said. “So bam, I’m escaping. It’s a message I hope is told forever.”
HOSTAGE: Dykes’ run-ins with Fla. law start in ‘90s | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Government records and interviews with neighbors indicate that Dykes joined the Navy in Midland City, serving on active duty from 1964 to 1969. His record shows several awards, including the Vietnam Service Medal and the Good Conduct Medal. During his service, Dykes was trained in aviation maintenance. He had some scrapes with the law in Florida, including a 1995 arrest for improper exhibition of a weapon. The misdemeanor was dismissed. He also was arrested for marijuana possession in 2000. He returned to Alabama about two years ago, moving onto the rural tract about 100 yards from his nearest neighbors. Ronda Wilbur, a neighbor of Dykes who said the man beat her dog to death last year with a pipe, said she was relieved to be done with the stress of knowing Dykes was patrolling his yard and
willing to shoot at anyone or anything that trespassed. “The nightmare is over. It’s been a long couple of years of having constant stress,” she said. Authorities have said Dykes gunned down 66-year-old bus driver Albert Poland Jr. before taking the boy from the bus. Poland, who was buried Sunday, has been hailed as a hero for protecting the other nearly two-dozen children on board from harm. “This man was a true hero who was willing to give up his life so others might live,” Gov. Robert Bentley said in a news release Monday after learning of the boy’s rescue. Melissa Knighton, the city clerk in Midland City, said a woman had been praying Monday afternoon in the town center. Not long after, the mayor called her with news that Dykes was dead and the boy was safe. “She must have had a direct line to God because shortly after she left, they heard the news,” Knighton said.

Two Ball State students watch Super Bowl XLVII Sunday in Scotty’s Brewhouse. The game failed to break viewer records despite the close score and social media spikes during the blackout.
Super Bowl falls short of viewership record Game stands as third most-watched program in history | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — With a partial power outage, an overly excited quarterback and a game that suddenly turned from snoozer to sizzler, CBS had its hands full at the Super Bowl. The game fell short of setting a viewership record, but it stands as the third most-watched program in U.S. television history. The Nielsen Co. said an estimated 108.4 million people watched the Baltimore Ravens’ 34-31 victory over the San Francisco 49ers. The most-watched events in U.S. TV history were last year’s game, seen by 111.3 million, and the 2010 game, with 111 million viewers.
CBS had hoped to make it the fourth year in a row that football’s ultimate game broke the record for most-watched event in American television history. But pro football ratings in general have been down slightly this year. When the Ravens’ Jacoby Jones returned the opening kickoff of the second half for a touchdown and gave his team a 28-6 lead, CBS’ dream of a ratings record surely became even more distant. And then half the lights went out. CBS’ ratings immediately dipped by two full ratings points in the overnight measurement of big cities. When the lights returned, so did the 49ers. They quickly jumped back in the game and CBS’ audience, no doubt fueled by social media chatter, came back, too. CBS was blessed with the dream of every network that telecasts the Super Bowl:
a game that isn’t decided until the final play. CBS had a moment of dead air when the field darkened, since power was lost in the control booth where Jim Nantz and Phil Simms worked. After a commercial break, sideline anchor Steve Tasker appeared to say there had been a power outage. CBS then filled time with its football pregame team, speculating on how the delay would affect the teams. At the precise moment the lights went out, CBS’ Armen Keteyian was in the NFL’s control booth, conducting an interview with Frank Supovitz, senior vice president of the NFL in charge of events. “In the NFL control room, there was no panic, but there was an undeniable amount of uncertainty about the cause,” Keteyian said Monday on “CBS This Morning.” Keteyian
was filming for a “60 Minutes Sports” report scheduled to be aired Wednesday on Showtime. CBS News did not participate in live coverage of the power outage. The power outage was an immediate hot topic for quips and questions online. There were an estimated 47.7 million social media posts during the game, according to the company Trendrr TV, which tracks activity on Twitter, Facebook and other social networks. That compares with 17 million during last year’s game and 3 million in 2010, Trendrr said. Baltimore had the highest rating of any individual city, Nielsen said. San Francisco was not among the top 10 cities in ratings. CBS showcased its freshman drama, “Elementary,” to an estimated audience of 20.8 million people after the game.
SGA: Presidential candidates discuss their strengths
| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “It think it’s important that [the early campaigning rules] exists because we don’t want this to turn into a process where one slate has an unfair advantage over another in terms of they’ve gotten to campaign for longer because they knew of their slate in August whereas the others did not put one together until January,” he said. Spark, who was nominated first, is comprised of presidential candidate Malachi Randolph, vice presidential candidate Chloe Anagnos, secretary candidate Giang Tran and treasurer candidate Kevin Mullaney. Randolph said the most important part of Spark’s campaign is built around relationships. “Everything we do is based on making a relationship with who we are doing it with, and that is one of the biggest things we are pushing with this campaign,” the Spark presidential candidate said. Cardinal United is Zeyne Guzeldereli for president, Alexa Gates for vice president, Fayeann Hurley for secretary and Brandon Pope for treasurer. Guzeldereli said a strength of Cardinal United’s slate is feasibility. “The feasibility of our entire platform [will set us apart] because we have four categories with several platform points on there, all doable within the year’s time that we will take office,” the Cardinal United presidential candidate said. “We’ve had meetings with administrators and other students, and we know that each point is accomplishable.” Fusion, the last slate nominated Monday night, is made up of presidential candidate Alex Sventeckis, vice presidential Nick Wilkey, secretary candidate Kylie Marcus and treasurer candidate Matthias Dorau. Sventeckis said the executive board candidates on Fusion bring a diverse perspective to

their campaign. “We have an orientation leader, Kylie, that brings a certain skill set with it,” he said. “Nick Wilkey is our senator, so he brings the SGA feel to it, Matthias is part of the greek life... and I kind of tie all three of them together.” One slate was nominated jokingly by Fusion presidential candidate Wilkey. Alliance 2.0 included current President Chris Wilkey, Vice President Heather Closson, Secretary Brittany Weaver and Treasurer J.P. Bechtel in a different order of executive board positions. Presidential candidate Bechtel accepted the nomination, and they immediately withdrew from the race.

Obama stands firm on gun control bills President calls for ban on military-style assault weapons | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MINNEAPOLIS — President Barack Obama declared Monday on his first trip outside Washington to promote gun control that a consensus is emerging for universal background checks for purchasers, though he conceded a tough road lay ahead to pass an assault weapons ban over formidable opposition in Congress. “We should restore the ban on military-style assault weapons and a 10-round limit for magazines,� Obama said in a brief speech, standing firm on his full package on gun-control measures despite long odds. Such a ban “deserves a vote in Congress because weapons of war have no place on our streets or in our schools or threatening our law enforcement officers.� The president spoke from a special police operations center in a city once known to some as “Murderapolis� but where gun violence has dropped amid
a push to address it from city leaders. Officers stood behind him, dressed in crisp uniforms of blue, white and brown. The site conveyed Obama’s message that a reduction in violence can be achieved nationally, even if Americans have sharp disagreements over gun control. That includes those among members of his own party in Washington. Suggesting he won’t get all he’s proposing, he said, “We don’t have to agree on everything to agree it’s time to do something.� The president unveiled his gun control plans last month after the shootings at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school. But many of the proposals face tough opposition from some in Congress and from the National Rifle Association. Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has said he wants to give the bans on assault weapons and highcapacity magazines a vote. But he will not say whether he will support either, and advocates and opponents alike predict they are unlikely to pass. Putting the controversial measures up for a vote could put some Democratic senators in a tough spot. That

Reid himself came in for criticism for declining to stand with the president by Minneapolis’ Democratic mayor, R.T. Rybak, who accompanied Obama while he was in town. “He’s dancing around this issue and people are dying in this country,â€? Rybak said of Reid on MSNBC. Democratic lawmakers and

aides, as well as lobbyists, said an assault weapons ban has the least chance of being approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee that is working up the legislation. They said a ban on high-capacity magazines is viewed as the next least likely proposal to survive, though some compromise version of it might, allowing more than the 10-round maximum that Obama favors. Likeliest to be included are universal background checks and prohibitions against gun trafficking, they said. One lobbyist said other possible terms include steps to

“Changing the status quo is never easy,� Obama said. “This will be no exception. The only way we can reduce gun violence in this country is if the American people decide it’s important, if you decide it’s important, if parents and teachers, police officers and pastors, hunters and sportsmen, Americans of every background stand up and say, this time, it’s got to be different. We’ve suffered too much pain to stand by and do nothing.� The White House said Obama is not writing off any part of his package despite the long odds for the assault weapons ban in particular before votes are scheduled or he takes his arguments on the road. Education Secretary Arne Duncan, who has been helping push the gun control package, said he and Obama spoke on the matter Sunday and agreed that Washington in a vacuum is unlikely to move quickly. “If this is Washington trying to drive this by itself, it doesn’t go very far,� Duncan said at a meeting with college presidents who have signed on to help lobby Congress to take action to protect students.

improve record keeping on resales of guns and perhaps provisions that would make it harder for mentally ill people to obtain firearms. Asked last week what was likely to be in his committee’s bill, committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., said he didn’t yet know but “I don’t know how anybody can be opposed to universal background checks.� He added, “I think gun trafficking, you’ve got to be able to close that. I don’t know how anybody, anybody can object to that.� Obama also was more upbeat on the prospects of universal background checks, including for purchases at gun shows. “The good news is that we’re starting to see a consensus emerge about the action Congress needs to take,� he said. “The vast majority of Americans, including a majority of gun owners, support requiring criminal background checks for anyone trying to buy a gun. There’s no reason why we can’t get that done.� He urged Americans to call their members of Congress to push for his entire package of stronger gun control. “Tell them now is the time for action.�

WORK OUT DESPITE THE COLD AIR Changes in routine, clothing helpful for exercise in winter JORDAN MOODY STAFF REPORTER | jemoody@bsu.edu Alex Donaldson has been running consistently since the fourth grade, now dedicating time for it five to six days out of the week. While the dropping temperatures of winter months don’t change the number of times she works out, they may change other things about her routine. The junior public relations major prefers running outside due to the scenery, but as the temperature decreases she transitions her exercises indoors. Whether making a transition to inside or accommodating to outside, many fitness routines may need to be altered to complement the colder weather.
MOVING INSIDE
When it comes to sprint training, or any other fast paced workout, Ali Bishel, assistant cross country and track coach, recommends moving inside. The temperature of the oxygen outside will make it take longer for the body to heat up than oxygen inside, she said. This will only make the workout more difficult than it needs to be. “Sometimes, I feel like my lungs are on fire,” Donaldson said. “[Running inside] can be more intense cause I know exactly how much I’m running.” Taking advantage of workout videos and websites can add variety to an otherwise dull routine. She finds the cold air to be not as motivating and ex-

WHY DOES IT HURT TO BREATHE WHEN WORKING OUT IN THE WINTER?

Choose a breathable shirt that wicks sweat, but avoid cotton, which loses its ability to keep you warm when wet.
Focus on breathing through your nose. Nostrils and sinuses help warm the air, which prevents frigid air from going straight to your lungs and causing pain.

Freshmen finance major Niles Mosher, who has in the past trained with the Marines, prefers to gather workout routines from the web site bodybuilding.com. The site contains a slew of information regarding different workout routines and information. When done correctly, basic core building routines such as push ups, pull ups and crunches can be just as efficient as using weights. “The Internet is your friend,” he said. “There is all sorts of information from different forums and websites. It’s convenient, and you don’t have to factor in things like going to the gym.” Articles on the site feature various at-home workout routine combinations and winter workouts. For example, one article states that working outside in colder temperatures actually burns more calories; the core temperature of a human body drops when in colder weather. By bringing the temperature back up, the body exerts energy, which in turn burns calories.

option, sophomore business major Christian Gonzalez prefers the colder weather. “My muscles just get so baked in the sun,” said Gonzalez, the president of Ball State’s soccer club. Bishel said running outdoors can be suitable for those running at a marathon type pace or perhaps for a warm up activity. But the correct precautions must be taken when dressing for cold weather as well to avoid complications. “It’s always better to be overdressed than underdressed,” Bishel said. “Everyone’s different, but always dress warmer than you think
you need.” Clothing such as liner gloves, complemented by heavier duty gloves on top, work well for keeping the hands heated. The head is the most important part of the body to keep covered when outdoors, Bishel said. She recommends a headband, or hat, anything that keeps the ears and the majority of the head covered. When working out in the cold, Gonzalez prefers ClimaCool shirts and pants by Adidas. The material is thinner than average sweatpants or sweatshirts and is extremely flexible, yet maintains body heat.
