he secret affections and feelings of Ball State students haven’t been so secretive in the past two weeks with the creation of the Ball State Secret Admirer’s Facebook page. Since the page’s creation on March 26, it has accumulated more than 6,200 likes. Every day, there is a multitude of posts, spreading crushes and admirations around campus. The Secret Admirer administrators, who will only reveal that they are two men, said they started the page after seeing Indiana University’s similar page. They did not, however, imagine the page would become so popular with Ball State students in only a week. “It feels incredible; we did not really know what to expect, but we certainly didn’t expect it to be this big,” the administrators said in an interview via Facebook message. “[It has probably gotten so much popularity] because it is something new, and it’s interesting.” The administrators said they receive around 500 posts each day and try to submit 85 percent of them, spending much of their free time posting. The posts range from direct admirations with the person’s name, to call-outs to random people seen on campus, to posts of appreciation, to certain groups like military service personnel. “Administrators: Thank you for restoring my faith in humanity. This site makes my day,” said an admirer who used

the name “A Former Skeptic.” Some who receive posts of admiration choose to write back, like freshman art education major Ashley Sharp. Sharp received an admiration addressed directly to her and was curious, so she posted back to her admirer, who went by “You’ll Never Know,” asking them to send her a private message with their identity. The admirer has not yet contacted her. “At first I thought it was one of my friends just to make me feel better, but I asked all of them and they said they didn’t do it, so I was like ‘Oh my gosh,’ this might actually be real,” Sharp said. “It made me feel really special, it was cool.”

The data for the study was collected in 2011 by the state of Indiana and funded by the Center for Disease Control, McGeary said. She thinks the number of smokers for 2013 would be close, within 1 to 2 percent, but not declining. The study showed there are higher smoking rates in characteristics including being male, black, nonhispanic or having no higher education. “Those groups 10 years ago were watching their parents smoke,” McGeary said. “I think it is an environmental issue as well as an education issue. They grew up in smoking households and continued to smoke and did not respond to the information about smoking. People who are more highly educated are better at processing detailed information.”

Cisna developing into 3rd starter Ball State senior takes advantage of opportunities |
DAVID POLASKI STAFF REPORTER @DavidPolaski
Heading into the 2013 season, Ball State knew it’d have its hands full trying to decipher how the pitching rotation would fall into place. The only position set in stone was Chris Marangon as the ace of the staff, toeing the rubber every Friday afternoon. Luckily for Ball State coach Rich Maloney, sophomore Scott Baker anchored down one of the final two spots, exploding onto the scene as Ball State’s potential future ace. After that, the picture got murky. Maloney had high hopes for Nestor Bautista, but he was yanked from the order after getting blown up in several of his starts, and Kyle Raleigh had the same problem. Now a couple weeks into conference play, Maloney thinks he may have found his starter, Jon Cisna. “Jon [Cisna] rose up and pitched as well as he’s probably ever pitched in his life,” Maloney said about Cisna’s performance on Sunday. “It was a really special outing; he gave us everything we needed.” With relievers burnt out after an extra-innings loss on Friday, Ball State needed Cisna to be able to pitch a lot of innings on Sunday. He answered the call, throwing seven scoreless innings before Marangon entered the game and finished off the win.
LAST FOUR STARTS MARCH 16: 5 innings pitched, 6 hits, 2 earned runs, 5 strikeouts MARCH 23: 4 1/3 innings pitched, 8 hits, 5 earned runs, 3 strikeouts MARCH 30: 2 innings pitched, 4 hits, 3 earned runs, 0 strikeouts APRIL 7: 7 innings pitched, 4 hits, 0 earned runs, 3 strikeouts Cisna’s stats aren’t overwhelmingly impressive. He has a 4.23 ERA and has allowed nearly as many earned runs as Marangon and Baker, despite playing half the innings. But it’s a huge step up from Raleigh and Bautista, who have ERA’s of 7.59 and 9.19 respectively. “He’s had a couple nice outings when we’ve had him start and he’s also had a few not so nice outings,” Maloney said. “He’s been a mixed bag so far, but when we’ve needed him the most, like last Sunday, he’s been sensational.” Cisna has stepped into his role as a starter these last few weeks after spending the entire 2012 campaign as a reliever. He struggled, pitching just 19 2/3 innings and had the second-highest ERA on the team at 9.15 in 2012. As the team entered into this season, the question was raised as to if Cisna should continue relieving or be given a shot to start. Once Bautista and Raleigh burned out, Maloney turned to Cisna, hoping he could be a reliable starter for the Cardinals. “Your third starter is typically a guy who’s still trying to find himself and Jon [Cisna] has shown that he can be an elite starter,” Maloney said. “Obviously his consistency level hasn’t been there,

see him become more consistent as the team heads into the heart of its conference schedule. Without a lot of competition, Cisna’s chances of secur-

With an 8-0 record in league play, Ball State remains the only undefeated team in the MidAmerican Conference. The schedule started off strong for Ball State as it completed the sweep against Bowling Green in the first MAC game on the schedule. Over the course of MAC play, Ball State as a team has recorded 14 home runs, 19 doubles and 72 runs off of 96 hits. Pitching has strengthened in the MAC as freshmen Nicole Steinbach and Kelsey Schifferdecker have thrown a combined 30 strikeouts with just four walks. Redshirt junior Audra Sanders has appeared in four MAC games, throwing 15 strikeouts over 13.4 innings in the circle.

She also completed her first career save against Western Michigan as she relieved Schifferdecker in the fifth inning. Offensive highlights of MAC play include offensive leader Jennifer Gilbert improving her personal statistics by collecting her 154th career RBI against Western Michigan and breaking the program record previously held by Amanda Montalto. She has also hit five home runs to add to her program and conference-leading record. Junior first baseman Taylor Rager showed her strength at the plate in the sweep against Northern Illinois as she smashed two leadoff home runs in the bottom of the second and sixth inning of the second game. Senior center fielder Amanda Carpenter answered Rager’s slam in the second inning by homering over the center field wall. Senior catcher Sadie Robertson, sophomore shortstop Jessica Craft and freshman shortstop Selena Reyna have also added to the team home run total over the course of conference play.

The 2012 MAC champs were 6-2 after the first seven league games last year and finished with a 17-3 MAC record. This year, teams trailing Ball State for MAC leading record are Miami and Kent State, each with 6-2 league records.
“As defending champs we need to make sure that we keep playing our game and not give anyone a reason to doubt how good we are,” Gilbert said. The Cardinals will return to the schedule today at 4 p.m. as they host Butler.

The Daily News is introducing you to lesser-known players on the Ball State football team this spring. Check back until the Spring Game on April 20 for interviews with different players and coaches. Today’s edition features TRENT TOOTHMAN redshirt sophomore linebacker Trent Toothman. Toothman is from Salem, Ohio, and attended Salem High School. He played in five games last season, recording four total tackles, and
is projected to be one of Ball State’s starting linebackers this season.
Q: What’s one unique thing about you that most people don’t know?
A:
I actually played quarterback in high school. I was a three-year starter at quarterback. I played both ways but I wanted to play linebacker in college, so that’s what I pursued.
Q: Where do you have the most room to grow in your game?
A:
Understanding the scheme of the defense and knowing what coach wants on certain calls and what he’s thinking up in the box
or on the sideline. As well as a lot of fundamental things, just getting a complete game and ready to go out field.
Q: What kind of music do you listen to? A:
I listen to everything. There’s not a genre I don’t listen to.
Q: Is there a song or artist you’re a little embarrassed to admit you’re listening to?
A:
I’m not embarrassed to say I listen to anything. I mess with Ke$ha a lot. I’m not embarrassed of it, but a lot of people might be. I love some Ke$ha, I love some Katy Perry once in a while.
Q: What’s your go-to meal after a practice or a game? A:
First thing I do is order Cousin Vinny’s. Cheese and pepperoni. Or when you’ve got a little extra money, you get the Polynesian pizza. You’ve got the bacon, chicken and you have pineapples on there. And you substitute for ranch sauce. Delicious. It’s amazing. It sounds gross, but it’s amazing.
Q: What’s the strangest or most interesting thing you’ve ever heard about your name?
A:
Tooth Fairy. Tooth Fairy is a good one, I guess.
to prove his worth. “He’ll be back out there again this weekend against Central Michigan,” Maloney said. “There’s no question about that.”

ing the role of third starter are getting stronger. Maloney wouldn’t say if Cisna has sealed up the role of third starter, but wants to continue giving him chances
Going through what has been a roller coaster season, the Ball State baseball team is hoping to maintain the momentum it earned by beating Western Michigan when it faces off against Bowling Green. Both teams enter the game holding 4-5 records in the Mid-American Conference, although Ball State is in the MAC West and Bowling Green is in the MAC East. Ball State coach Rich Maloney said he thinks the Western division is still up for grabs and wants his team to take advantage. He thinks the competitive balance for Midwest teams is fairly equal, and he likes his team’s chances against Bowling Green. “The way that most of the teams are in the Midwest right now, it’s probably 5050 for any team winning any game,” Maloney said. “Most teams have around .500 or sub .500 records right now.” Maloney is correct, especially when it comes to the MAC. Ball State’s 14-14 overall record is the overall best in the West, although it can be skewed because of strength of schedule. Bowling Green’s overall record sits at 7-19 and was swept by a Western Michigan team that Ball State just achieved a 2-1 series victory against. Ball State learned the hard way last week that records don’t tell the entire story. The team lost to 4-24 Northern Kentucky in one of its most intense games of the season. Being a midweek game,
Maloney expects there to be a lot of pitching changes going around. Once again, Ball State’s starter isn’t expected to go more than a few innings at most, and Maloney didn’t disclose who would be starting. “We’re both going to be pitching guys who aren’t weekend pitchers, so you don’t know from game to game what you’re going to get,” Maloney said. “If we knew what we were going to get, they’d be weekend pitchers.” Ball State’s pitching staff will be throwing to batters who have struggled this season. The Falcons bring just three batters to the plate who are hitting over .265 this season, and are averaging just over four runs per game. Patrick Lancaster and T.J. Losby lead Bowling Green with batting averages of .305 and .302, and have knocked in 27 of the teams 110 runs. Backing up the batters for Bowling Green on Tuesday could be Ethan McKenney. McKenney hasn’t started a game all season, but has thrown 20 innings in relief, making him a possible candidate to be a spot starter. If he starts, Ball State needs to be ready, as he’s currently pushing a 1.33 ERA, giving up just three earned runs and three walks while striking out 15. The Cardinals’ best shot to break through the Falcons pitching will be Kevin Schlotter and Billy Wellman. Batting .340 and .326, they’ve been key cogs to Ball State’s offense and have both gotten crucial hits that led to wins this season. “Coming out of the weekend series, our guys have a lot of confidence,” Maloney said. “Now can that confidence continue against Bowling Green’s pitchers and batters, that’s going to be important.”

Educators resist guns in schools Pence says presence of police would deter any likely attackers | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — When a gunman killed 26 children and staff at a Connecticut grade school, Missouri state Rep. Mike Kelley quickly proposed legislation that would allow trained teachers to carry hidden guns into the classroom as a “line of defense” against attackers. Similar bills soon proliferated in Republican-led states as the National Rifle Association called for armed officers in every American school. Yet less than four months later, the quest to put guns in schools has stalled in many traditionally gun-friendly states after encountering opposition from educators, reluctance from some governors and ambivalence from legislative leaders more focused on economic initiatives.
The loss of momentum highlights how difficult it can be to advance any gun legislation, whether to adopt greater restrictions or expand the rights to carry weapons. Since the Dec. 14 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., legislators in at least four states — Connecticut, Colorado, Maryland and New York — have passed significant gun-control measures. The Newtown attack came less than five months after a gunman killed 12 people and injured 70 at a Colorado movie theater. So far, South Dakota is the only state to respond with a new law allowing school personnel to carry guns into elementary and high schools. Similar legislation is awaiting the governor’s signature in Kansas. And Arkansas has enacted a new law allowing colleges to let staff with concealed gun permits bring their weapons on campus. But Kelley has shelved legislation that would have let Missouri school staff carry firearms if they have concealed gun permits. His legislation never
received a public hearing even though he is a House majority whip responsible for rallying Republican support for bills. Kelley, an NRA member, tried to cast the bill’s demise in a positive light. “It’s done the No. 1 thing that I wanted, and that’s to bring awareness to schools about some of their safety issues,” he said. House Speaker Tim Jones vowed this past week that Missouri’s Republican supermajorities would still pass some sort of pro-gun measure this year. But it’s unlikely to involve arming teachers. In Oklahoma, where pro-firearms measures usually get a warm reception from lawmakers, gun-rights advocates faced an uphill battle against educators opposed to any effort to allow guns in schools. A bill letting schools develop policies for arming trained employees died in the Senate Education Committee. “As a rule, it’s very difficult to find educators and administrators that support the idea of putting arms in the schools,

Brad Smith, the 2012 president of the Society of Actuaries, will speak tonight on the topic of professionalism. Business fraternity Gamma Iota Sigma is hosting the event.
Smith is the Chairman of Milliman Corporation, a large actuarial consulting company. He served as the president of the Society of Actuaries in 2012 and has written a book on professionalism and has spoken internationally. Assistant professor of insurance Kevin Gatzlaff said it is not often a businessperson of such high caliber comes to speak at Ball State. “To get attention from someone that is the chairman of board of directors, we’ve had that happen before but it is a rare occurrence,“ he said. “It is a great opportunity as our students to talk to someone as high up as Brad Smith.”
AP|BRIEF
INDIANA MAN CALLS 911 TO REPORT HIMSELF FOR DRIVING DRUNK TO POLICE
ROSELAWN, Ind. (AP) — A northern Indiana man who called 911 and told dispatchers he was driving drunk and needed to be taken off the road got his wish when a sheriff’s deputy arrived. State Police said 24-year-old Matthew Devore of Logansport was arrested early Monday along Interstate 65 in Jasper County. Police said Devore had a blood-alcohol level of .09, just over Indiana’s legal limit for driving. He was being held at the Jasper County Jail on a driving while intoxicated charge. State Police said Devore lost control of his car early Monday and it ended up in a grassy median with a flat tire. Police said Devore then called 911, saying he was a drunk and needed to be taken off the road. A sheriff’s deputy was then dispatched to the scene.
Smith will discuss what companies are looking for in new hires, how to present oneself as a good candidate and how best to assimilate into corporate culture. President of Gamma Iota Sigma and junior actuarial science major Grant Steffen said the topic of professionalism is relevant to students outside of his major. “He does work in insurance but I think [his message] applies to everyone in the work place,” he said. “He talks about what employers are looking for and what sets people apart — Are they motivated and can they do the job well?” Excellence in Leadership
has designated Smith’s talk as an alternate speaking engagement, and Gamma Iota Sigma has also reached out to the math department and Miller College of Business to attend. Steffen said Smith’s visit is important for the actuarial science department. “I think it really shows the pulling of our actuarial science program [to bring Smith to campus],” Steffen said. “It’s a big honor to have someone like that come and hopefully this will encourage more [speakers] to come in the future.” The presentation will take place at 7:30 p.m. in Teachers College 101.

New Hampshire House rejected legislation that would have let local school districts seek voter approval for their personnel to carry guns.
PRISM: Students learn how to work with children with autism through program
| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 He told the story of one boy, who after seeing several children tell a joke in one part of the program, decided he was going to tell a joke too. He walked up to the microphone, Daehn said, and although he was not one of the most vocal children, did his best to tell a joke like his friends. “With actors that don’t have any special challenges I know what I’m going to see on opening night — with the Prism kids, I’m going to see something excited, I know that. I’m just not always sure what though,” Daehn said. More than 100 Ball State students take part in the event, between working with the children, producing the events and creating ideas. Most are theatre program students, some of
which after working with Prism have decided to incorporate teaching children with special needs later, Daehn said. Hourigan said some of the biggest challenges for Ball State students involved is overcoming timidness. “A lot of the [students] don’t have experience working with a child with special needs at all,” he said. “They have to learn the child’s skill set and not be afraid to help the kids out.” Daehn said between half and two-thirds of the children return each year, allowing those involved to watch the kids grow up both in age and ability. “They have been able to have really tight friendships with the rest of the kids at prism — the growth has been exponential and really easy to watch,” he said.
draft legislation. The change requires congressional action, but lawmakers have already begun looking into the matter in response to a furor over a recent Air Force sexual assault case. Lt. Gen. Craig Franklin, commander of the 3rd Air Force at Ramstein Air Base in Germany, overturned the conviction against Lt. Col. James Wilkerson, a former inspector general at Aviano Air Base in Italy, who had been found guilty last Nov. 2 of charges of abusive sexual contact, aggravated sexual assault
and three instances of conduct unbecoming of an officer and a gentleman. The incident had involved a civilian employee. Wilkerson was sentenced to a year in prison and dismissal from the service, but after a review of the case Franklin overturned the conviction. His decision triggered outrage among senators and calls for a new look at the military justice system. “This decision has turned the military on its ear,” said Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., during a hearing last month.

an Air Force officer’s decision to overturn a guilty verdict in a sexual assault case, U.S. officials said Monday. According to defense officials, Hagel will seek legislation requiring that cases go through the U.S. Court of Military Appeals, and that senior officers no longer have the authority to set aside guilty findings. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly about the decision. Hagel is ordering his staff to

McGeary said another factor is that health and education are a similar investment because for both the payoff is in the future. She said people who don’t invest in their education generally also take greater risks with their health. “I just want to present this information and say, ‘These are the facts, you do what you think you should,’” McGeary said. “The science is that smoking is really bad for you, and we have more people smoking and not enough people quitting.” DN PHOTO COREY OHLENKAMP Senior nursing majors Matt Aaron Huntley takes a drag off of his cigarette while he talks with Nick Solloway.

Because she had already liked the page and loved reading the posts, Sharp decided to write back to her admirer — she is open to meeting and hanging out with them. “If I wrote that about someone I would want them to say something,” she said. “It’s kind of reassuring if you like someone to know they want to hang out with you. I’m not a scary person, so they shouldn’t be scared to say anything to me.” The page administrators said they have seen about five posts from people who met with their secret admirer, telling the community about their budding romances. One page user referred to as “He May Actually Get the Girl” wrote, “My secret admirer just told me who they were and I let him kiss me goodnight after I spent two hours stuttering when I found out. We’ll see where it goes.” The post received 215 likes. “He May Actually Get the Girl” could not be reached by the Daily News. Senior natural resources major Katie Stergar said she heard from a user who went
«My secret admirer
just told me who they were and I let him kiss me goodnight after I spent two hours stuttering when I found out. We’ll see where it goes.”» USER BY PEN NAME OF “HE MAY ACTUALLY GET THE GIRL” by the handle “Big Loner,” after he posted about not being a stereotypical good-looking guy. After Stergar commented, saying she understood completely, Big Loner messaged her privately on Facebook. The two had lunch last week and have been talking occasionally on Facebook since. Stergar said she thinks the Facebook page has made a strong, positive impact on campus. “I like the buzz that it’s created,” she said. “I feel like it has kind of brought about this sense of maybe we aren’t really as alone as we feel and maybe there is somebody out
there who notices you and thinks you’re special.” Sophomore vocal performance major Ganson Salmon chose to write back to his secret admirer and ask who they are, but he said he would rather have a face-to-face conversation than an anonymous compliment on the Internet. “The people who don’t get much love outside spend a lot of time on the page waiting for a compliment, and those that do get comments have the opportunity to find out who sent the admiration and make a new friend,” he said. “People eat up this stuff [because] they can’t tell who it is and outside of the Internet it’s taboo [to directly compliment someone].” Regardless of whether any posts turn into real relationships, the administrators said they think their page has contributed to more positive feelings around campus. “We have personally witnessed more doors being held open, more friendly looks and overall more happiness around campus,” they said. “It makes it feel good, to see this page making a difference.” Devan Filchak contributed to this story.

TWO FRESHMEN GET CHEESY TO VOLUNTEER IN NICARAGUA K&K Grilled Cheese business sells sandwiches on street, raised $700 for summer trip JEREMY ERVIN CHIEF REPORTER | jrervin@bsu.edu On a frigid Friday, right around the time the beer-munchies set in, those prowling the streets craving salt, fat and carbs can get their fix from K&K Grilled Cheese. Kayla Hernandez and Katie Simmons began selling grilled cheese sandwiches on the street in late fall 2012 to raise money for a volunteer trip to Nicaragua this summer. By early November, they had raised around $300. Since then, Simmons and Hernandez have raised an additional $400. The operation has expanded and evolved since the beginning. Originally a Beechwood Avenue exclusive, K&K Grilled Cheese is now mobile, traveling to West Neely Avenue or anywhere else with heavy foot traffic. They keep hungry customers up-to-date with their changing locations through their Twitter account @BSUcheesygirls, even asking on occasion where their followers would like to see them that weekend. “Usually everyone is really drunk so they’re like ‘That’s such a good cause,’ and people will

share their stories,” Simmons said. “We’ve made so many friends.” The Ball State freshmen usually decide on their location the day they go out. They ask the owners of a house if they can set up in front of their party and run an extension cord from the house to power their two George Foreman Grills. The girls said house owners almost always comply but often request a free sandwich as compensation. Sandwiches cost $1 and buyers can add bacon for a little extra. Sometimes people make special requests, like extra butter or extra cheese. The grilled cheese entrepreneurs said they may continue the project in their hometown over the summer since the trip was postponed to July from its original May date. While they said the grilled cheese business is tapering off somewhat, Simmons and Hernandez have other projects in motion to raise the $2,500 the trip costs,. Simmons maintains a webpage at gofundme. com/nicaraguavolunteertrip, and the group has coordinated with Insomnia Cookies for a oneday fundraiser on April 23. While the long term future of K&K Grilled Cheese remains up in the air, the girls have developed an affection for their means-to-an-end. “This is like our love,” Hernandez said.
