State funding formula evaluates performance, graduation rates | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana’s seven public universities are taking steps to boost their graduation rates and increase the number of degrees in key areas like science and technology as part of a state push to tie aid for higher education to performance. The Indiana Commission for Higher Education has developed a performance-based funding formula in an effort to increase the number of college graduates in the state. The funding formula began in 2003 with incentives for universities that do research, the InSTATE AID dianapolis Business WHAT Journal reported. It Indiana’s public universities expanded in 2007 are trying to graduate more with rewards for students and increase the number of degrees in areas gains in degrees, like science and technology on-time graduation as part of a state push to tie rates and successful aid for higher education to transfer students. performance.

Remediation rates and a productivity metric defined by each school also factor into the calculations. Though public universities continue to receive funding based on enrollment, performance-based funding is growing in importance. The state budget lawmakers are writing this year calls for raising the performance-based calculation from 5 percent of each school’s state funding to 6 percent in 2014 and 7 percent in 2015. “You are seeing strategies within colleges and universities to respond to these metrics because these metrics are responding to student needs,” said Teresa Lubbers, a former state senator who now leads the Commission of Higher Education. Ball State has a lot riding on performance funding. The school would see no increase in funding over the next two years under the budget state lawmakers are crafting. Only Indiana State University in Terre Haute, which would see a 1.1-percent loss in funding, has fared worse under the performance-based funding formula.
PRANK STAR Students share their most crafty tricks for April Fools’ Day
I
CARIEMA WOOD STAFF REPORTER
n fifth grade while vacationing in Arizona, Kaleb Barajas threw a Snickers bar into the pool, causing everyone to evacuate, fearing the snack was floating waste. “I’m just a goofy guy,” the sophomore business and management sales major said. The prankster began tricking people in the second grade. Barajas said his best amateur pranks of all time were in elementary and middle school. One creative deception involved Barajas and a friend pouring red Kool-Aid onto the snow and placing a chainsaw near the legs that they had taken off store manikins, making a mock crime scene. Once college began, Barajas put his pranking skills to work on campus. During his freshman year at Ball State, Barajas said he became known as the prankster on his floor in LaFollette Complex. “Go all out, do it big so everybody knows the prank,” Barajas said. Barajas’ pranks have had their fair share of casualties. In one instance, he placed a package of Gatorade on the top ledge of a door. Once Barajas’ friends opened it, a bottle fell down hitting him directly in the groin. Others have pranked Barajas too, such as a girlfriend in high school who “broke up” with him through a text message. He fell for it and wondered why she did it over the phone.

“I’ve always wanted a girl that I could prank and she would prank me back,” Barajas said. Here are some accounts of Barajas’ most genius antics:
PRANK NO. 1
Barajas took others’ mattresses and hid them. A football player who had just come back from practice was tired, but came back to his room to find only his blankets and pillow stacked up on the floor where his bed usually sat. That was the only prank he said had gone too far. His hallmate was pretty upset.
PRANK NO. 2
Barajas and his friends duct taped the door frame to his resident assistant’s room while he was inside. It took them 20 minutes, and the RA had to end up cutting himself out of his room with scissors.
PRANK NO. 3
A brother in his fraternity had a broken laptop, and a group of them decided to prank a new guy by throwing the laptop at him without saying “catch this” until the last second. The computer shattered and so did the confidence of the new guy.

She wrote: “Water contamination, do not use restroom until further notice.” – Maintenance. Many of her fellow floor members were tardy to class that day. Another prank pulled on a male floor was just a routine happenstance, no holiday needed. Guys from a floor in Clevenger Hall accumulated all of the styrofoam beans from a beanbag and emptied them into a plastic tub. Someone distracted the student whose room was about to be invaded while the others dumped the beans all over the room. Every square inch of the room was occupied by a blizzard of the little white spheres.
‘Festival of Color’ takes over Pruis Hall Indian spring celebration offers traditional foods, Bollywood love musical EMMA KATE FITTES CHIEF REPORTER | emfittes@bsu.edu The Indian Student Association brought Holi, the Festival of Colors, to Pruis Hall with a Bollywood style musical, other performances and Indian food Sunday. “Staying away from home during these kind of festivals, its really hard for us,” Aparna Satheesan, president of ISA, said. “We are trying to do as much as we can so that the others will [know] about our culture and we will be having fun all together.” The masters student in computer science said Holi is traditionally an annual event that celebrates the beginning of spring. “[Holi is a] time when family and friends gather together and share sweets and play with colors,” Satheesan said. Although colored powder is usually thrown around, Satheesan said

Pruis did not allow that. Instead, the colors were painted on foreheads and cheeks, and the main event was a Bollywood musical. Satheesan said for the past four or five months the club has been preparing for the event, including the 30-minute musical, “A Bollywood Love Musical,” which followed a traditional Bollywood love story.

IND. HEALTH OFFICIALS CONFIRM MEASLES CASE AT IU BLOOMINGTON State health officials have confirmed at least one case of the measles last week in an Indiana University Bloomington student, causing the university to take action. The affected student does not live on IU’s campus and did not attend classes during his illness, according to a press release from the Indiana State Department of Health. The individual visited the IU Health Bloomington Hospital emergency room and a CVS pharmacy while infected. The student also visited the IU Student Health Center. More than 95 percent of people who receive the measles, mumps and rubella vaccines develop an immunity to the virus after one application, and 99 percent become immune after the second dose, according to the release. The Indiana State Department of Health, the Monroe County Health Department and IU are working together to identify additional cases of the disease. – EVIE LICHTENWALTER

Ind. agencies receive cuts after federal sequester Housing programs, voucher systems face heavy losses | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS VINCENNES, Ind. — Agencies across Indiana are dropping flood insurance, scaling back on free meals for the elderly and reducing the number of Section 8 housing vouchers they provide as funding shrinks because of automatic federal budget cuts. The cuts known as the sequester were designed as a deadline to force a deal to reduce the federal deficit. Instead, Congress and the White House failed to agree, and the cuts kicked in March 1. That’s forced many agencies that rely on federal money to make cuts of their own. In Seymour, that means fewer free meals at the Seymour Senior Citizens Center. For cities like Vincennes and Fort Wayne, it has forced changes in a housing program for the poor. “We just have to learn to make do with what we have,” Carol Gee, director of the meal site at the Seymour Senior Citizens Center, told The Tribune. The center has scaled back the number of days it offers meals from five to three. The city also has cut back on its meal program for people who are homebound, offering hot meals three days a week and frozen meals the other two. Vincennes officials have decided to drop flood insurance to help cover the cuts. According to the Vincennes Sun-Commercial, the Vincennes Housing Authority took out the policy two years ago amid concerns about the Wabash River levee and its accreditation with the Federal Emergency Management Agency. But repairs to the levee have diminished concerns about whether it would pass FEMA’s recertification process, and
officials decided the risk of catastrophic flooding was worth taking. Linda Fredrick, the housing authority’s executive director, said she expects the housing authority to get about 82 percent of its usual appropriation from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. A subsidy the authority receives for capital improvements, usually about $500,000 a year, will be cut in half. The $18,000 that the flood insurance would have cost this year is needed elsewhere, she said. “We’ve had increases in our utility costs,” she said. “And while we can’t do raises for employees right now, we do want to keep their health insurance coverage. “More than anything, we need this money for the upkeep of our properties.” Frederick said the authority has 372 housing vouchers available but is only using about 300 of them. The agency also will likely have to increase the rents it charges, she said. In Fort Wayne, where nearly 3,000 people receive Section 8 vouchers, housing officials are trying to absorb as much of the cuts as they can before eliminating people from the program. Maynard Scales, executive director of the Fort Wayne Housing Authority, told WANE-TV the agency hopes to be able to serve more people, but at a lower rate of assistance. Scales said the agency has implemented a hiring freeze and has shifted some personnel in response to the cuts. “The service level will go down dramatically, there’s no question about that,” Scales said. “The repairs, the renovations of the properties, keeping them in good shape, that will suffer. That’s where it’s going to show up. The shelter, the roofs will be there, but sooner or later, those roofs will have holes in them, and will we be able to repair them?”

Satheesan said the free event was originally set to cost about $10 per ticket, but the club was lucky enough to find a lot of sponsors, including the Student Government Association, University Program Board and the Multicultural Center. “We have a [large] crowd even though it is an Easter holiday,” Satheesan said. “We expected a lot of crowd, and its more than that.” Boppana said the club is looking to host this event every year and hopes the attendance continues to grow.

AID: Gora says BSU wants to be ‘better’ not ‘bigger’
| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Ball State President Jo Ann Gora told the House Ways and Means Committee in January that the school has been at a disadvantage because it has worked to raise admission standards and the quality of programs while keeping enrollment around 16,000. That strategy, along with Ball State’s focus on non-STEM degrees, has hurt its funding, she said. “Because our strategy has been to get better, not bigger, this is not a strategy that has
been rewarded by the funding formula — although we think this is a good strategy for Hoosiers,” Gora said. “The formula is a one-size-fits-all. And yet the institutions were asked to differentiate.” She said Ball State hopes to add degrees in computer software engineering and other STEM areas because they command more state money under the funding formula. Lubbers noted that Ball State already has 27 degree programs that count as STEM degrees. Ivy Tech Community College
also plans changes so it can help more students transfer to four-year institutions and boost the number of technology students earning a credential before leaving. Ivy Tech President Tom Snyder said he hopes a plan to restructure into four divisions helps identify which programs can grow. Lubbers said the commission has worked to adjust the funding formula to account for the different missions of each public university. Research-based incentives
apply to IU, Purdue and Ball State, but not the others. Purdue Provost Tim Sands said performance funding affects less than 1 percent of the budget on Purdue’s West Lafayette campus. But he said it’s still important to keep state priorities in mind. “The money is not big enough to drive behavior by itself at West Lafayette,” Sands said. “What it really does is encourage us to have the discussion [with state leaders], to align our values where we can.”

The drugs, manufactured by the New England Compounding Center in Massachusetts, were supplied to six clinics in Indiana, including OSMC Outpatient Surgery Center in Elkhart. Trost and her daughter, Nicole Kovach, received injections to relieve back pain on Sept. 26 at OSMC. That evening, batches of medications were recalled for contamination, The Elkhart Truth reports. “I didn’t know what to think,” said Trost, who had been visiting OSMC every few months for the past two years to receive shots near her coccyx bone at the tip of her spine. But it wasn’t Trost who started feeling sick first. Kovach used
a different medication than her mother, but it was manufactured from the same drug company. Not long after the shot, Kovach was taken to an emergency room with a fever and excruciating pain. Lab results for a spinal tap came back negative for fungal meningitis, but she had a bacterial infection that was making her ill. It wasn’t until December that Trost ended up at Elkhart General Hospital. By January, Kovach started noticing a difference in her mother’s behavior. She didn’t want to leave the house. She didn’t want to do anything. “She kept on saying that it was just depression, and that happens sometimes, but this time, it seemed like more than
just depression,” said Kovach. OSMC ordered one last MRI for Trost in February and this time, the results were clear. She had fungal meningitis. At last count, local health officer Dr. Daniel Nafziger said there have been 47 cases of fungal meningitis and related infections confirmed in Elkhart County. There have been three deaths attributed to the illness there. Most of the recent cases that have been reported, Nafziger said, are localized infections near the areas where patients received injections. In some cases, symptoms of fungal meningitis have not surfaced until six months after a patient had been exposed to the contaminated medications, he added.

Senior anchors pitching staff Despite lack of run support, Marangon recording 2.35 ERA |
DAVID POLASKI STAFF REPORTER @DavidPolaski
Ball State’s Chris Marangon doesn’t have an outstanding record. In fact, he’s only 1-1. He has just 31 strikeouts in 44 innings, but holds an impressive 2.35 ERA. He may not have been noticed as much this season because of the sudden emergence of sophomore Scott Baker, and that’s just fine with Marangon. “It doesn’t matter to me if I don’t end up with another win in the stat column this season,” Marangon said. “All that matters is if I was able to pitch well enough to put our team in the position to get a win.” Marangon has done it all season, despite the results not showing on his record as he’s continued to fly under the radar. The senior pitched 6 2/3 innings against a potent Kent State offense and gave up just two runs, but the offense could only muster two runs of its own and Ball State fell 6-2. He worked out of numerous jams, often with runners in scoring position and usually ended the inning unscathed. In the season opener, Marangon pitched 6 1/3 innings and didn’t give up a single run, but the team lost 1-0, wasting another great pitching performance. It’s been the theme of the year
so far for Marangon, pitching well but the relief pitcher losing the game or the offense failing to get a timely hit that coach Rich Maloney preaches about. Maloney thinks Marangon’s season so far has been overshadowed by Baker, but it doesn’t mean he hasn’t noticed. “Marangon has been phenomenal; it’s too bad that he just doesn’t have anything to show for it,” Maloney said. “He could easily have the record that Baker has; we know we’ve got a really solid go-to guy in Chris [Marangon].” Ball State is averaging just three runs per game when Marangon starts, the worst for any Ball State starter. By comparison, Baker is getting nearly seven runs per game during his starts, easily the best on the team. The Friday starter finished last season with a 3.75 ERA, but has been more consistent this season. Marangon said he understands he can’t control how many runs his team scores when he’s pitching. However, he’s done everything he can over the last year to improve his game to put his team in the best position. “I’ve evolved quite a bit. My coaches have really helped pick out my weaknesses in my pitching performances and made me a lot better,” Marangon said. “My teammates know what to look for when I’m struggling and I’ll do the same for them.” The senior is entering his final full month as a Ball State pitcher, and will look to continue the production he’s given Ball State so far this season.

Ball State hosts No. 27 Notre Dame Cards can extend streak to 6 games with win over Irish BRIAN WEISS STAFF REPORTER | @bweiss14 After falling to nationally ranked UNLV in Las Vegas on March 7, the Ball State men’s tennis team has rattled off five straight victories.

INDIANAPOLIS — With tears in their eyes and Kevin Ware in their hearts, there was no way Louisville was losing this game. Russ Smith scored 23, Gorgui Dieng had 14 points, 11 rebounds and four blocks, and top-seeded Louisville put aside the shock from Ware’s gruesome leg injury to earn a second straight trip to the Final Four with an 8563 victory over Duke on Sunday afternoon. As the final seconds ticked down, Chane Behanan put Ware’s jersey on and stood at the end of the Louisville bench, screaming. Cardinals fans chanted “Kevin Ware! Kevin Ware!” “We won this for him,” coach Rick Pitino said. “We were all choked up with emotion for him. We’ll get him back to normal. We’ve got great doctors, great trainers.” Ware played his high-school ball in Georgia and the Final Four is in Atlanta, just adding to the emotion for the victorious Cardinals. “We talked about it every timeout, ‘Get Kevin home,’”
Pitino said. This game will be remembered, but for a very different — and much more somber — reason. With 6:33 left in the first half, Ware, who has played a key role in Louisville’s 14-game winning streak, jumped to try and block Tyler Thornton’s 3-point shot. When he landed, his right leg snapped midway between his ankle and knee, the bone skewing almost at a right angle. Ware dropped to the floor right in front of the Louisville bench and, almost in unison, his teammates turned away in horror. Thornton grimaced, putting his hand to his mouth as he turned around. Louisville forward Wayne Blackshear fell to the floor and Behanan looked as if he was going to be sick on the court, kneeling on his hands and feet. Luke Hancock patted Ware’s chest as doctors worked on the sophomore and Smith walked away, pulling his jersey over his eyes. The arena was silent, and several fans wept and bowed their heads. Pitino had tears in his eyes as he tried to console his players. Dieng draped an arm around the shoulders of Smith, who repeatedly wiped at his eyes and shook his head. The Cardinals (33-5) gathered at halfcourt to try and regroup before Pitino called them over to the sideline, saying Ware wanted to
talk to them before he left. “Basically, the bone popped out of the skin. It broke in two spots,” Pitino said. “Remember the bone is six inches out of his leg, and all he’s yelling is ‘Win the game, win the game.’ I’ve never seen anything like that.” Play resumed about 10 minutes later, but it was clear the Cardinals’ minds were elsewhere. They missed four of their next five shots along with two free throws, and were uncharacteristically sloppy. But they regrouped after a timeout, with Smith’s finger roll sparking a 12-6 run to finish the half that gave them a 35-32 lead. Smith picked up where he left off at the start of the second half, making all three free throws after being fouled on a 3-point attempt to give Louisville a 38-32 lead, its largest of the game to that point. Smith, the most outstanding player of the Midwest Region, made a layup. Peyton Siva had a nice jumper at the top of the key, and then followed with a layup. Just like that, the Cardinals were off on a 20-4 run that sealed the victory. This was only the second time the Blue Devils have reached the regional finals and failed to make it to the Final Four. The only other time? In 1998, when the Blue Devils lost to eventual national champion Kentucky.
OFFENSE HELPS LEAD BALL STATE TO WEEKEND SWEEP Home runs, doubles help Cardinals grab 3 wins on road

Then sophomore Audrey Bickel eyes the pitch from Akron on April 7, 2012. Bickel has scored four home runs this season.
Halfway through the season and four games into league play, Ball State has hit 30 home runs, 61 doubles, 181 RBIs and has a teamcombined slugging percentage of .519 to show for its more than capable play at the plate. The team holds the school record and the Mid-American Conference record of 61 team doubles on the season. The freshmen have had no
trouble adding to the strong team offense. Shortstop Emily Dabkowski contributed to the team’s record for doubles early on as she has chipped in two doubles during her eleven career at bats. Outfielders Sammi Cowger and Sasha Margulies recorded a hit and a run scored each in their first collegiate appearances at the plate in late February against Grambling State. Junior left fielder Jennifer Gilbert recently broke the school record for career home runs against Florida International with 12 on the season and 45 in her career to date. She added four home runs to her stats during Saturday’s double-header

against Toledo. Sophomore outfielder Hanne Stuedemann and junior third baseman Audrey Bickel trail Gilbert with five and four home runs on the season, respectively. Sophomore second baseman Taylor Cox was MAC West Divi-
sion player of the week for the first time in her career as she helped lead the Cardinals at the plate going 5-for-9 as leadoff batter against Wisconsin and No. 24 North Carolina in the Louisville Classic. Cox uses repetition in practice to better her game and perfect skills she needs to continue contributing to the team’s offense. Coach Craig Nicholson works his team on hitting by making sure players get in swings during each practice and working on adjustment to different pitches. Ball State will move on to IPFW on Wednesday and continue building on their record-breaking play at the plate throughout their MAC schedule.

5 DEVIOUS, SIMPLE PRANKS TO USE ON APRIL FOOLS’ DAY
BRITTANY WATSON STAFF REPORTER | bmwartson4@bsu.edu
Today is not a national holiday, but it has ties all the way to the 1300s. Once mentioned in the Canterbury Tales, April 1 is commonly recognized and celebrated with practical jokes galore. There is no better time to mess with someone than April Fools’ Day, but 20-plus years of prank pulling leads to most originality being gone. Toothpaste has been put in place of Oreo cream, rubber bands have been wound around sink sprayers and soap has failed to suds due to a good coat of clear nail polish. This is the year to update your pranks with five new hoaxes: DECEIVING DIET SODA

Indiana native Dwandra Lampkin performs her one woman show on Thursday in the L. A. Pittenger Student Center. Her show is based on her experience trying to convince a homeless woman to tell her story of dedicating 20 years of her life to protesting the National Civil Rights Museum. Lampkin is a former Ball State teacher, now at Western Michigan University.
Chesterfield’s is new restaurant on the block Ivy Tech students learn real life rules of running a cafe CHRIS M AULEY STAFF REPORTER | cmcauley@bsu.edu c
Sticking out with its bright yellow facade and late 1800s architecture, the enormous Patterson Block sits at the corner of Walnut and Main streets in downtown Muncie. Chesterfield’s Cafe is a student-run cafe of Ivy Tech Community College’s culinary arts and hospitality departments — much like Ball State’s Allegre Cafe. “We wanted to provide education for students [through] live scenarios,” manager of Chesterfield’s Ryan Bell said. The cafe is named after former Chancellor Gail Chesterfield, who brought the hospitality department to Ivy Tech. The cafe opened in January and has been a source of eclectic cuisine. A constantly changing item it works on is the soup of the day, which helps the students avoid getting into a routine and to expand their horizons, Bell said. Not one soup has been repeated the entire semester with soups that have ranged from the local chicken
and noodle soup to Russian and Vietnamese soups. Much of the challenge is figuring out what is going to sell and work for the cafe. The cafe aims to solidify a new menu item each semester. A recent dish Bell had students try to prepare is the pumpernickel focaccia lunch. The lunch may not have been a popular selection, but Bell said it gave students valuable experience. “That’s how you teach students, through trial and error,” Bell said. The menu varies greatly according to the day. However, staples of Chesterfield’s include its paninis and reubens, which Bell said are the two most popular items. Chesterfield’s sells pizzas, including traditional toppings such as cheese and pepperoni, but they also have daily pizza specials. They use pizza sauce that comes from within Indiana to support local markets. In addition, Chesterfield’s makes deli sandwiches with its own artisan bread. The cafe only accepts cash, but once it adds the appropriate wiring to the Internet, it will accept credit cards. All of the money goes to Ivy Tech and the program. The cafe closes between semesters to give students a break, and the
SPRING HOURS Monday - 2 to 7 p.m. Tuesday - 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday - Closed Thursday - 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday - 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday & Sunday - Closed hours vary each semester depending on student schedules. Chesterfield’s is open to improvement. Customers can leave comment cards and provide feedback about their service, and Bell takes the time to read each one. “Feedback is critical, and we like constructive criticism,” Bell said. Ivy Tech’s students have won several awards over the past two years for their work in the kitchen, including awards from Savor The Flavor for the past two years at the Indiana State Fair and the “Best Entree” at Taste of Muncie. Chesterfield’s does not have a specific target market, but students seek to satisfy business people who are looking for a quick and convenient lunch. “We are open to people curious to see a student-run cafe, and we want curiosity to bring people downtown and eat at other restaurants, as well,” Bell said.
Supplies: • Lemon lime soda • Bottle or packets of soy sauce • Empty diet soda bottle 1. Take a lemon lime soda and add soy sauce until the color closely matches that of diet cola. 2. Mix together in bottle of lemon lime soda by gently tilting back and forth but be careful not to shake too vigorously. You don’t want to end up with soda everywhere and the fizz is important for your target’s oblivion. 3. Once the soda and soy sauce are combined, pour into a diet soda bottle and put cap on tightly to seal in the smell and the remaining carbonation. 4. Wait for target to indulge in one of the worst beverages imaginable. MOUSE MAYHEM
Supplies: • A wireless mouse • Access to a nearby friend’s computer’s UBS port 1. Plug in the USB of the wireless mouse into the target’s computer so he or she won’t notice. 2. Slowly start to move his or her mouse around the screen from a remote location as they are type or try to work. FOIL FLOP
Supplies: • Large quantity of foil (the more the better) • Access to target’s bedroom 1. This prank is simple; wrap absolutely every visible thing in foil. Pillows, individual drawers, pencils, perfume bottles, art on walls, televisions, etc. 2. The crinkling of foil alone will make watching your target unwrap everything all the more hilarious.
Supplies: • White liquid glue • A smooth surface (piece of plastic or glass works best) • Bar of soap • Knife 1. Rub the bar of soap on a smooth surface. This makes it easier to remove “milk” once it is fully dried. 2. Draw an outline of “milk splatter” and then fill in completely with glue. Make sure to keep the glue thickness consistent. This will make removal easier. 3. Place glue covered, smooth surface to the side and away from any obstruction. Even the slightest breeze from a heating and cooling vent can cause your fake splatter to ripple and look fake. 4. Wait until glue is completely dry before trying to peel off of the surface. This can take 6-10 hours, depending on how large and thick you made your splatter. 5. Very slowly and carefully peel off the splatter. Lifting the edges up with a knife can make this process much easier. 6. Place milk splatter on your target’s laptop keyboard or other beloved electronic device and await his or her reaction.
EYE SEE YOU
Supplies: • Googly eyes • Glue • Access to targeted person’s refrigerator and all of its contents 1. Glue googly eyes on every single item in one’s refrigerator. 2. Are there multiple eggs in a carton or string cheese sticks in a bag? Make sure every individual item receives a means of sight. *Also works well for office supplies in desk drawers.
