It took 23 days for Ball State to name James Whitford as its 19th men’s basketball coach in school history. That should tell the Ball State fan base that athletic director Bill Scholl is serious about making the team a contender in the Mid-American Conference again. Scholl could have made a quick decision and had a coach within a week. He could have chosen someone that has a big name, but not necessarily the credentials. But he didn’t. Scholl made the correct moves in taking his time, filtering out the candidates and

When Miller has been making the right calls during his coaching tenure, his call for Whitford to take the Ball State job shows he believes Whitford

South Bend schools cited for racial bias
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — South Bend schools have been cited by the state for shifting a disproportionate number of black students into special education classes, a decades-old nationwide problem that critics say may reflect unspoken racial bias. The district has nearly as many black students as white students, but blacks are more likely to be diagnosed with cognitive and emotional disabilities that take them out of mainstream classrooms. The state’s top special education official said a recent review also found the district didn’t follow legally required procedures between 2010 and 2012. “That, to me, is the biggest distinction,”

DANIEL LOSEN, director of the Center for Civil Rights Remedies said Nicole Norvell, director of special education with the Indiana Department of Education. She said not only were South Bend schools sending more black kids into special education, they weren’t documenting what led to the decision, including students’ current performance levels. “That’s the information that drives a student’s goals,” Norvell told the South Bend Tribune. The district also didn’t keep parents adequately informed at

Participants in the Chase the Rainbow 5K emerge from clouds of neon paint during the race. The 350 participants at the run on Saturday raised money for a Muscular Dystrophy Association summer camp.
Neon colored paint flew around Saturday morning across from Scheumann Statdium during Muncie’s first Chase the Rainbow charity run. The 350 Chase the Rainbow participants ran 5 kilometers around the tailgating area as group organizers and volunteers bombarded them with vegetable-based paint. The run raised funds for the Muscular Dystrophy Association, a nonprofit health agency dedicated to curing muscular dystrophy and related diseases by funding worldwide research, according to its website. In addition to these services, the MDA runs a week-long summer camp at Bradford Woods in Martinsville, Ind. Funds raised by Chase the Rainbow will help allow 88 children attend the camp. The Chase the Rainbow organization was created by the Ball State Dietetic Association, Microbiology Club and the PreHealth Professionals Club. “We just really want to thank everybody who came out today to raise this money for MDA,” said DeeAnna Woroszylo, president of the Pre-Health Professionals Club. “It’s a great cause and we were really excited that we were able to put this all together and donate [the money].” Ball State students, staff and faculty who registered before the April 4 deadline each paid $25, while non-university affiliates paid $30. The event featured a male and female category for winners. First place runners were Shawn Folsom and Madelyn Webster. “I like to run, and it’s a good cause,” said Bryce Pittman, who received third place in the male category. – JOSEPH KNOOP

When Billy Taylor was fired on March 14, James Whitford was gearing up for an NCAA Tournament run with Arizona at what he said was the best assistant coaching job in the country. He was working alongside his best friend, Sean Miller, on a team built to compete for national championships for years to come. But all that couldn’t keep Whitford’s eye off Ball State.

It was too much to pass up.” The Star Press reported Whitford passed up four opportunities in the past, including a chance to coach in the Mid-American Conference at Miami of Ohio last year, before taking the Ball State job. Whitford said great basketball tradition, great facilities and Indiana’s fertile recruiting ground for top high school talent drove him to accept the job. Whatever his reason for coming, senior forward Tyler Koch said he’s glad things can finally return back to normal. “It was more about filling the curiosity [than anything],” Koch said. “It was getting old with having people ask me who the next coach was going to be and who’s in the loop. It’s good to get this all over.”

WHITFORD: Arizona had top-five recruiting class in ‘12 | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Koch said players are meeting with their new coach Tuesday night, and Whitford said he’s also supposed to meet with recruits Zavier Turner and Franko House this week. Director of Basketball Operations Mickey Hosier has said House and Turner put their commitments on hold until they met with the new coach, but Whitford already considers them part of the Ball State family. “At Arizona you have unlimited resources and you don’t have that in the MAC,” Whitford said. “I’m familiar with those differences, but they’re not road blocks — just things we have to adjust to. I’m confident I’ve seen what it takes and know what it takes to build a winner.” Whitford said with the state of Worthen Arena and the campus, Ball State sells itself pretty effectively. His ability to sell himself and the program is widely considered one of his strengths coming in. Whitford served as the recruiting coordinator at Arizona that landed a top-five recruiting class in the nation last season. But for him, getting good players is only part of the equation. Whitford repeatedly talked about the need for a solid foundation of players who want to push themselves and work hard to get better. Quinton Crawford, a former guard for the Wildcats, echoed those words. “He always talked about how hard honoring the process is, how all the players honor the process,” Crawford

Pinch-hitter Lauren Schroeder hit a single to left fielder in the bottom of the sixth to start the rally for Ball State. Jennifer Gilbert followed with a single to send one runner home. Two more runs were scored on Western Michigan errors. Sophomore Taylor Rager hit a home run over the right field wall, adding the last two runs of the game for the Cardinals. “With this lineup, when we get to the second or third time through we just get more and more dangerous,”

said. “That’s something he really stands by and that’s partly why he’s in the position he’s in right now. He’s honored the process. He’s waited.” Whitford certainly waited and earned his opportunity, but he isn’t shy about where he wants the program to go. He said it won’t happen overnight, but mediocrity is not something Whitford expects from his team. “We want to be a team that’s competing for MAC Championships every single year we’re at Ball State,” Whitford said. “I have to find the right talent pool and the right structure, but if I can do that I’m confident we can reach our goals.”

After dropping the first two series’ against Mid-American Conference opponents, Ball State coach Rich Maloney knew his team needed to come up big against Western Michigan. Losing the first game, Ball State rallied to take the next two games — including a 3-1 victory Sunday — to win the series. In many of the Cardinals’ recent losses, early deficits have spelled trouble for the team. Having to fight an uphill battle to just get back in the game is difficult, especially for a team that has struggled to score runs at times this season. Maloney believes that scoring early helped take pressure off Scott Baker and Jon Cisna. Baker threw his first complete game; allowing just two earned runs, while Cisna pitched seven shutout innings the next day. “We scored runs early which really helped us,” Maloney said. “Having those multiple run innings in a couple games was so huge. Getting those runs at the beginning gave us so much momentum that

The MAC West Division has been consistently weak in the past several seasons when compared to the East. Sure, the power teams in Ohio, Akron and Kent State have been bullying the MAC. Those schools are in Ohio, a football state. Ball State is in Indiana — where basketball is king. With the hire, Ball State has
the potential to build a midmajor program capable of competing at a high level. It won’t happen overnight by any means, but within a few years Ball State could be playing for MAC Championships. The hiring of Whitford is a smart decision by Scholl. He said from the beginning he wants to make basketball prominent again at Ball State. By hiring someone who has seen winning in different conferences like Whitford has, it’s hard to believe there won’t be some new banners hanging in Worthen Arena in the coming seasons.

going there and playing against teams we’ve only heard about,” Makey said. The team will get some exposure to other players and environments outside of the region, an opportunity that senior social work major Tyler Macy said the team is ecstatic about. “I’m just really looking forward to playing against teams and the competition that we’ve never gotten to experience before because we’ve only played teams in the Midwest,” Macy said. “This is probably the most excited I’ve ever seen the Ball State Quidditch team.” Macy is the co-captain and seeker of the Quidditch team. He has played since he was a freshman in 2009, when the team initially started. “I had an anthropology class with the girl who cofounded the club and she invited me to come to the call-out meeting,” Macy said. “I went and it turned out to be incredibly fun, so I just stuck with it.” The road to the World Cup hasn’t been easy, however. The club lacks Harry Potter’s Gringotts Bank account and has had to dodge many financial bludgers in order to be able to finance the trip. “It’s a really big financial commitment to raise the money to get there. We’re a young
club, so we’ve been getting better at fundraising over the years,” Macy said. The tournament will go on for two days starting Saturday. The D1 teams will be split into 12 pools based on rankings. The top two teams and a few others in third place from each pool automatically advance to the second day, which will be bracket play. “Thirty-two teams advance and then they will play bracket-play with single elimination,” Makey said.
they can file the patent themselves,” Hasler said. “Our ability to pick these things is not perfect. I’m willing to look silly if the product actually makes it to market, has a company formed around it and employs Hoosiers ... as opposed to sitting it on a shelf and letting it rot and never knowing.” The move is the latest step in Purdue’s attempt to make research commercialization easier. University President Mitch Daniels announced the appointment of Hasler, former Indiana Secretary of Commerce and a former vice president for global marketing at Eli Lilly and Co., in February, saying Purdue wasn’t fully realizing the potential of its researchers and students. He said Hasler’s appointment would create an environment that encourages invention and
entrepreneurism and that he wanted to turn Purdue into “a fountain of new goods, services, companies and jobs.” Daniels announced Tuesday the university decided to allow “automatic reconveyance” for faculty members who file patent applications for technology that the foundation deems either not patentable or without market value. The policy also will cut the time it takes the university to decide whether to file a patent from 12 months to six months, Daniels said. The former governor conceded he’s changed his mind on what he believes Purdue’s priority should be when it comes to patents. “At the bottom of the list comes dollars to Purdue University. I used to think that was the primary objective. I don’t think that

Purdue eases patents filing University hopes to lessen restrictions, spur staff innovation | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue University is making it easier for faculty to privately file patents for innovation that the university’s research arm chooses not to pursue.

anymore,” he said. He wants to focus on making the university the most attractive environment for inventors. About 45 Purdue faculty and staff members, who were honored Wednesday at the 2013 Purdue Inventors Recognition Reception at Kurz Purdue Technology Center, were issued patents for their discoveries last fiscal year. That’s a decrease from the nearly 60 researchers who were recognized for earning patents during the 2011 fiscal year. Elizabeth Hart-Wells, assistant vice president and director of the Purdue Office of Technology Commercialization, said the decrease in the number of researchers who received patents during 2012 may be due to the 12-month lag time between the patent application filing and the awarding of a patent.
Group raises awareness of suicide |
DONNIE KOLAKOWSKI STAFF REPORTER dzkolakowski@bsu.edu
Despite being the second leading cause of death for college students in the United States, suicide still remains a topic that many people are uncomfortable discussing. “When you talk about anything involving death, it’s going to be uncomfortable,” said Chesni Kidd, director of membership development for the Alive Campaign. “But it’s something that needs to be discussed.” More than 100 people confronted that issue at the third annual Out of the Darkness walk on Sunday. The walk, put on by the Ball State Chapter of the Alive Campaign and the American Federation of Suicide Pre-
vention, raised about $4,000. The Alive Campaign raised $1,000, doubling its team goal of $500. “To see this many people come out and support us is truly an inspiring thing,” said Carmen Diaz, executive director of Ball State’s Alive Campaign. Diaz said the nicer weather helped the turnout. “It was definitely better weather this year than last, and it was nice to see everyone out on this beautiful day supporting the walk,” Diaz said. The walk, one of 18 Out of the Darkness walks in Indiana this year, was three miles and started and concluded at the Atrium patio. Organizers considered the event a success and wanted it to help raise awareness about suicide.

EDUCATION: Citation could cost district thousands in special ed funding | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 the outset of the process, the state found. Norvell, however, said the evaluation wasn’t based on a review of all student files. “We typically look at 5 percent of student files,” she said. “If we start to look and by the time we look at seven or eight files, if they’re all wrong, we stop looking because at that point, we know there is a problem.” Donna Krol, the district’s special education director, said the citation doesn’t mean the district broke the law, but it has a problem that needs to be fixed. The sanction means the district could lose $90,000 of its $6.1 million federal special education grant, shifting the funds into intervention programs to help struggling students stay out of special ed. Teachers also have been assigned to work with mainstream students who have behavioral issues to help them remain in general education. The problem isn’t limited to South Bend.

Black students would be labeled special education students to remove them from the mainstream, and racial bias has lingered since. “It’s not that people are harboring secret racism,” he said, “it’s more sort of this bigger, broader societal bias against black folks.” Special education is also a convenient way to get trouble students out of the classroom, he said. “If a kid is misbehaving, one way to get them out of your class is to get them identified,” he said. Oletha Jones, who chairs the education committee of the South Bend branch of the NAACP, wants black students already in special education to be reassessed and, if testing warrants, returned to mainstream classes.
SUV CRASH INJURES 6 MUNCIE TEENS
MUNCIE (AP) — One teen is in critical condition and five others also have been hurt after the SUV they were riding in crashed on a hilly, curvy road near Muncie. The Star Press reports 18-year-old Aaron Kelly of Muncie was in critical condition Sunday after being airlifted to Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis. The newspaper and WTHR-TV report two other 18-year-old men and three juvenile girls were taken to Ball Memorial Hospital in Muncie following the crash late Saturday. Delaware County Sheriff’s Office Lt. Arlan Johnson said investigators believe the SUV struck a utility pole and some trees along a road southeast of Muncie. Johnson said five of the teens, including Kelly, are students at Muncie Southside High School, and the sixth attends Yorktown High School west of Muncie.
CONN. GOVERNOR FIGHTS LOBBYISTS OVER RESTRICTIONS
Dannel Malloy calls NRA ‘clowns,’ signs more firearm laws | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HARTFORD, Conn. — Connecticut Gov. Dannel P. Malloy harshly criticized gun industry lobbyists on Sunday, saying they are doing too little to halt gun violence. Just three days after he signed into law new restrictions on weapons and large-capacity magazines, the governor compared Wayne LaPierre, executive vice president of the National Rifle Association, to clowns and said lobbyists want to ensure that the industry can sell guns indiscriminately. “Wayne reminds me of the clowns at the circus,” Mal-
loy said of LaPierre on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “They get the most attention and that’s what he’s paid to do.” Representatives of the NRA did not immediately return a call seeking comment. “What this is about is the ability of the gun industry to sell as many guns to as many people as possible even if they’re deranged, even if they’re mentally ill, even if they have a criminal background,” Malloy said. “They don’t care. They want to sell guns.” Robert Crook, executive director of the Connecticut Coalition of Sportsmen, a lobbying group, said Malloy’s criticism was “absolutely false.” “It’s another political statement from a governor with little knowledge,” he said.

supports a gun trafficking task force and tighter background checks of buyers, Crook said.
Andrew Doba, a spokesman for Malloy, said the Democratic governor was criticizing lobby-
ists, not the gun industry. Malloy has said he wants Connecticut’s large gun industry to remain in the state, though gun manufacturers say the new restrictions will hurt their business. “People are welcome to stay in our state as long as they’re producing a product that can be sold in the United States legally,” Malloy said. Nearly four months after a gunman killed 20 children and six educators at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn., lawmakers and Malloy enacted legislation that adds more than 100 firearms to the state’s assault weapons ban. It also immediately bans the sale of magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition. People who purchased those guns and magazines before midnight Wednesday will be allowed to
keep them if they’re registered with the state police befire Jan. 1. Required background checks for private gun sales also take effect. Other parts of the new law include a ban on armor-piercing bullets, establishment of a deadly weapon offender registry, expansion of circumstances when a person’s mental health history disqualifies them from holding a gun permit, mandatory reporting of voluntary hospital commitments, doubled penalties for gun trafficking and other firearms violations, and $1 million to fund the statewide firearms trafficking task force. Malloy said he preferred an “allout ban” on magazines of more than 10 rounds of ammunition, but the legislature opposed him on the issue.

FORUM LETTER TO THE EDITOR
WILL THE SPENDING EVER END?

The changing of coaches for the BSU basketball team causes me to wonder, when will the crazy expenditures on intercollegiate athletics end? It seems to be a given that the new coach will have to be awarded a contract in the $250-300,000 range. Of course this person will require that his assistants receive at least 25% more than the recently fired guys received. Further it is assumed that the new person will insist on a recruiting budget of at least $100,000 more than the current budget. Further, these escalations will cause the women’s BB coach/assistants to receive more as well. You can bet that the football coach and assistants will be watching the contracts. These numbers are lunacy at a place that barely gets 1,100 bodies into the seats including less than 150 students for men’s bb games and far far less for women’s games. Recently, it has been noted that BSU has lost nearly 78 million dollars in state funding since 2009. Another startling statistic [from the Delta cost project] is that Mid-American conference schools in 2010 spent four times more [$52,537] on each athlete than spent on its’ other students. Where does all of this fit into the educational mission of BSU and other “mid-major� schools which have miniscule ticket revenues and must rely on student fee money to fund these sports? If one was starting a university and all programs/ expenditures had to be justified, what would the argument be for spending millions of dollars on 400 athletes? At some point the mid-major schools will have to step back and justify all this. At a time when schools are struggling to maintain their teachers and other staff as well as maintaining the physical plant, how can we pay head coaches nearly $300,000? [Payoffs to the fired football coach, two basketball coaches and the woman’s tennis coach plus legal fees are likely pushing over 2 million dollars]. It is a pleasant fantasy to envision what these millions spent on athletics could do to bolster teaching and academic programs. The payback would be great...

LAST SHOT on the
RUNWAY Fashion show gives seniors chance to display their style 1 final time SUNGMIN LIM STAFF REPORTER
Rows of fashion enthusiasts filled the Alumni Center as 15 apparel design seniors displayed their work for the last time on Sunday. Models in original pieces trekked across the runway to a thumping soundtrack. The show’s pieces displayed a diverse range of fashion, from basketballinspired menswear to grim womenswear. Katelynn Hall, a senior apparel design and fashion merchandising major, was one of the two head coordinators for the show, which was based off of a fashion promotions class. The class was divided into three groups, and Hall would oversee to meet deadlines. In addition to coordinating the show, Hall’s pieces from her collection were displayed as she managed the chaos backstage. “I didn’t get to see the show because I was backstage, but seeing my models walk past me was really rewarding,” Hall said. There were two shows Sunday, the first of which was stressful, but the second ran much smoother, Hall said. Maris Schiess, a senior advertising major, observed the show a few rows from

the runway. She said she’s gone to the senior fashion show before. “For this show, I knew more of the designers and I put faces into the collections,” she said. “Each designer had a distinct vision, and it was a delight to see their hard work.” On the runway, Kelsie Selch, a junior glass major, walked in a paneled, dark dress as a model for designer Natalie Thomas. She wore a coat by Thomas in last year’s show and was invited to model again. “The dress was made for a shorter person,” Selch said. “I was fortunate to fit into this dress. I’m 5-foot and in a fashion show. Not a lot of girls can do that.” Thomas, a senior apparel design major, was inspired by ghosts, dark magic and shadows for her collection. She focused on woodblock prints in Japan, which involved gradient techniques. She took the gradient idea and put it into the hems of her clothes. The silhouettes were slim and straight, with handprint work in most of her garments. With graduation approaching in May, Thomas is in the process of securing an internship in New York City,

but said she will miss being a student. “I’m sad that I’d have to work for someone and not have the time to sew and make whatever I want,” she said. “But I wouldn’t have imagined to be in the position I am in right now. I realized everyone is different, and I can do whatever I need to do.” Taylor Groft, a senior in apparel design, was one of the few menswear designers in the show. The main influence on the garments was athletic wear, with white, minimalistic touches. “I grew up playing and watching basketball,” he said. “Athleticism seems effortless, so I wanted to translate that into my clothes. I’m not afraid to play around with silhouettes and put men in skirts.” Last summer, Groft had an internship with Calvin Klein in New York City. He will move back after graduation to be a design assistant. “I’ve spent four years working really hard to get to where I am,” Groft said. “I’m ready to take my creativity and my skills to the next step, which is being on the design team for Calvin Klein. I’m ready.”
