Ball State is officially giving its athletic department the “Bold” treatment.

The university announced on Saturday a $20 million fundraising campaign called “Cardinal Commitment” that will focus on upgrading its athletic facilities, specifically for the basketball, volleyball, football, baseball, softball and golf teams. Ball State already raised $12,893,000, or more than 64 percent of its goal, before the announcement. Ball State plans to run the campaign through December 2014.

The mission to improve athletic facilities mirrors Ball State’s Bold Campaign in 2008, which raised $200 million to create new immersive learning

IND. EXCISE OFFICERS ARREST 235 PEOPLE AT LITTLE 500

Indiana University’s annual Little 500 resulted in a record number of arrests in Bloomington, Ind., this weekend.

Indiana State Excise Police officers arrested 235 people on 285 charges, up 29 tickets from last year.

Excise officers issued 167 tickets in 2011, 158 in 2010 and 157 in 2009.

According to an excise police news release, the number of tickets issued this year were an all-time high.

Tickets were mainly issued for alcohol offenses, including illegal possession or consumption of alcohol.

Arrests were also made for possession of ecstasy, operating while intoxicated, theft, criminal conversion, criminal trespass, possession of marijuana, possession of paraphernalia, resisting law enforcement, false informing, indecent exposure, furnishing alcohol to a minor, open container violations and public intoxication.

Only one person was taken to IU Health Bloomington Hospital, and was taken for having a blood alcohol content of .29 percent.

He apparently opened the door of an unmarked SUV stopped at a traffic light and got into the back seat, mistaking it for a taxi cab.

More than half of those cited were not IU students, but were from other colleges and universities across the state and country.

“Excise officers again focused their attention on Bloomington this weekend, when alcohol violations are historically high as a result of Indiana University’s Little 500,” Superintendent Matt Strittmatter said in a news release. “Their primary aim this weekend was to keep students, residents and visitors to Bloomington safe by enforcing Indiana law.”

The majority of those arrested appeared in Monroe Circuit Court on Sunday.

STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT PEOPLE WHO HAVE MORE BIRTHDAYS LIVE LONGER

BOSTON — As churches paused to mourn the dead and console the survivors of the Boston Marathon bombing Sunday, the city’s police commissioner said the two suspects had such a large cache of weapons that they were probably planning other attacks.

After the two brothers engaged in a gun battle with police early Friday, authorities surveying the scene of the shootout found it was loaded with unexploded homemade bombs.

They also found more than 250 rounds of ammunition.

DZHOKHAR A. Police Commissioner Ed Da- TSARNAEV vis said the stockpile was “as Suspect in dangerous as it gets in urban Boston bombings policing.”

“We have reason to believe, based upon the evidence that was found at that scene — the explosions, the explosive ordnance that was unexploded and the firepower that they had — that they were going to attack other individuals. That’s my belief at this point,” Davis told CBS’s “Face the Nation.”

On “Fox News Sunday,” he said authorities cannot be positive there aren’t more explosives that haven’t been found. But the people of Boston are safe, he insisted.

Coaches see renovations as way to improve teams Practice facility at Worthen will end schedule conflicts

|

MATT McKINNEY ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR @Matt_D_McKinney

With Ball State’s announcement of the new planned athletic facilities on Saturday afternoon, thoughts quickly turned to exactly what kind of impact they would have on the current programs.

Women’s basketball coach Brady Sallee said an instant impact would be with the development of players and the ability to give them more accessible facilities.

“I think the player development piece, where we will have facilities that are second-

to-none to get our kids into the gym and just make them better,” Sallee said. “We were limited at times this year. ... Now, there are no excuses.”

Having a court for the basketball and volleyball teams will open up another facility for the teams to practice.

Newly hired Ball State men’s basketball coach James Whitford also sees the impact of another court because of how college basketball has changed over the years.

“I think it’s really important because basketball is a yearround game,” Whitford said.

“It’s not just a six-month season.”

As it stands with the current facilities, if one team is practicing in Worthen Arena, another team can’t do any kind of work anywhere else. Players can go to the Student Recreation and

Wellness Center, but only by themselves, not with a coach to help them.

Sallee said when his team played Central Michigan on Feb. 7, it could only have a 30-minute pregame shootaround, as opposed to the usual hour, due to scheduling conflicts.

Central Michigan was able to shootaround for an hour before the game.

“To our team’s credit, they didn’t bat an eye,” Sallee said.

“They just said, ‘OK, here’s what we do, we do.’ But as a coach, I’m nervous as all getout, because I’m really dependant on our prep time. ... We just had to make it work.”

They did make it work, as Ball State ended up winning the game by seven points.

Sallee also said the new facility would also make a

“huge” impact from a recruiting standpoint.

Whitford stressed the ability for his players to practice privately without having to share space with another team on the floor.

“We want to create a culture where they can come in and work on their game 24/7 and have the privacy to get the rebounding machines out and improve their game,” Whitford said. “We want them in the gym as much as they can within the rules.”

Sallee said it would affect the players’ mindset to come in and practice.

“They’re more excited to be there, it going to affect how hard they work, it’s just going to affect they’re demeanor, everything,” he said. “I don’t know that you can put that truly into words.”

With his one-year anniversary at Ball State approaching, athletic director Bill Scholl is already well on his way to cementing his name in the school’s athletic department with a new $20 million campaign to improve athletic facilities.

The upgrades the school has planned for Scheumann Stadium, Worthen Arena, the baseball and softball fields and at the golf course have been needed for years. The basketball and volleyball teams have struggled with sharing Worthen for time constraints. The ball diamonds haven’t been renovated in 40 years. Coaches don’t even have their own offices at Scheumann.

The school knew this, but sometimes later is better than never.

There will be critics to this campaign that will argue $20 million should be spent elsewhere than athletics. But the matter is simple: Ball State has lagged greatly in its athletic facilities while the rest of the Mid-American Conference has jumped ahead.

In a video shown during the announcement, nine Ball State student athletes named their favorite venues. The list went from Miami of Ohio, to Toledo, to Central Michigan. Not one of the student athletes said Ball State.

By the time this campaign and the construction is complete, every single Ball State student athlete should be able to say their favorite venue to play in resides at Ball State.

Scholl called the moment a historic one in the history of the athletic department, and with everything that is planned in this campaign, it’s hard to argue with him.

I’ll be long graduated by the time the project is completed and in use, so I won’t be able to witness it as it unfolds.

I can admit that I’ve never had much desire to return to Ball State once I graduate. But after Saturday afternoon, I can see myself coming back one day to see these upgraded facilities.

In putting together its plan to build three new facilities and renovate another, Ball State tried to model its efforts after similar projects by other Mid-American Conference schools like Central Michigan, Ohio and Miami of Ohio. That led to the conception of Cardinal Commitment.

A new basketball and volleyball practice facility will be built on the northwest side of Worthen Arena with a practice court, basketball locker rooms and expanded volleyball locker rooms.

The baseball and softball diamonds will be renovated to include more team rooms, better restroom and concessions facilities and upgrades to the field and press box.

A new football complex will be installed in the southeast corner of Scheumann Stadium that will create more space for meetings and hold a new locker room.

A new golf practice facility will finalize the main objectives of the project, housing hitting bays, a putting green and locker rooms for both golf teams. The university still hasn’t decided on its location, with Scholl only saying it will be on a golf course close to campus.

The idea behind the project began at least a year prior to the announcement with athletic director Tom Collins and Vice President for Business Affairs and Treasurer Randy Howard leading it.

Every cent of the $20 million will come from donations, Gora said. The money has to be raised privately because the state does not invest funds in athletics.

While introducing each building, Scholl also mentioned Ball State’s desire to install new video boards at Scheumann Stadium and inside Worthen Arena, but they will be separate additions from the campaign.

As one of Scholl’s original platform points during his introduction as the new athletic director a year ago, fundraising has become a focus for Ball State athletics.

“Fundraising is a peopleintensive process,” Gora said.

“Obviously, we’re pretty good at it since we were successful in a 200 million dollar campaign for the rest of the campus, so we believe we have the strategy going forward.”

Board of Trustees member and Cardinal Commitment chair Frank Hancock spoke during the announcement Saturday about Ball State’s commitment to make the project successful.

“If we’re going to do it, we’re going to do it right — period,” Hancock said. “This is a oneshot opportunity, I believe, in my lifetime and a lot of people’s. Let’s do it right or don’t do it [at all].”

Scholl said the start of construction on the new facilities could begin within “three, four, maybe five years,” depending on which building Ball State is ready to put into place.

In order to make that happen, Gora said Ball State will have to sell the project’s importance to people connected to the university.

“It involves really making the case for why investing in the university is really going to make a difference both in the community and for our students,” she said.

George records triple double as Indiana cruises

STUDEBAKER COMPLEX ON NEELY April 29 - May 3, 9a.m.- 5p.m.

| THE ASSOCIATED PRESS INDIANAPOLIS — Paul George insisted a little rest and a new focus would make change everything for the Indiana Pacers.

He made sure that prediction came true Sunday.

Following the best season of his three-year career, George opened the playoffs by producing the first postseason triple double of his career — 23 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists — and led the Pacers out of their late-season funk and past Atlanta 107-90 in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference first-round series.

Suddenly, all those problems ailing the Pacers have been forgotten.

“I know what the team will expect from me now,” George said. “But, again, I like the pressure” There were plenty of questions after Indiana coach Frank Vogel gave four of his starters — George, George Hill, Roy Hibbert and David West — a three-day break this week. The move meant those four came into the opening game without playing a minute since last Sunday’s loss at New York sealed Indiana’s fate as the

East’s No. 3 seed.

Outsiders wondered whether those off-days would rejuvenate the Central Division champs, who looked so good from mid-December through early April, or whether would be rusty after stumbling to five losses in their last seven regular-season games.

Those inside the locker room said that the extra rest would be beneficial. Sunday’s performance left no doubt as fans repeatedly waved the gold towels the Pacers handed out before the game.

While George went 3 of 13 from the field, he made his first 17 free throws tying Reg-

gie Miller’s single-game playoff mark for best percentage.

George missed his 18th and final attempt with 2:35 to go.

It was about the only thing that went wrong for the All-Star forward who had Indiana’s first triple double in the playoffs since Mark Jackson on May 13, 1998 against New York.

Runners for the Unity Run pass Noyer Complex on Thursday to show their support for the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing. Justin Miller and Josh Fern from the Ball State Runners Association planned the event, and one student who grew up near Boston participated in the run.

Runners host event for Boston victims Group organizes run to honor dead, hurt after terrorist attack DAVID COATS II STAFF REPORTER | dacoats@bsu.edu

After the events that took place at the Boston Marathon on April 15, a group of Ball State students took it upon themselves to help by showing their support for those affected by the two explosions.

But when Justin Miller and Josh Fern, each of the Ball State

Runners Association, started to plan the event, they didn’t know a participant was a student who was born and raised in an area close to Boston.

Grant Proia, a sophomore nursing major, was born in Rutland, Mass., about an hour and a half away from Boston.

“I used to always go there during the weekends. I probably went up there maybe three times a month, so it’s important,” Proia said. “[Be]cause it’s your home state and stuff so it really hits hard.”

Proia has friends at Boston University and Boston College

who ran in the marathon. Proia said one of them had finished the race five minutes before the first explosion.

At about 5:06 p.m. Thursday, the Ball State runners stood for a moment of silence before beginning their run.

Miller, the creator of the event and social media chair of the Ball State Runner Association, said he was pleased with the turnout.

“It’s awesome to go out running and just see everybody else running. People, wherever you go to race, even if it’s just a 5K, will always come up

to you and give you high fives and wish you good luck,” Miller said. “It’s just a really tightknit community. Everybody is out to help each other and it’s just awesome to see it at every race.”

Fern echoed Miller’s praises.

“What’s really cool to see is that people can take running and kind of make it this thing that promotes humanity. The things that happened in Boston were so inhumane,” he said.

“We just want a chance to show the world, and Ball State even, that we stand behind the people that were victimized.”

and Louisiana, Mo. The U.S. Coast Guard said 114 barges broke loose near St. Louis on Saturday night, and four hit the Jefferson Barracks Bridge in St. Louis County. The bridge was closed about six hours for inspection but reopened around 8 a.m. Sunday.

Most of the runaway barges were corralled but at least 10 sank and two others were unaccounted for, Coast Guard Lt. Colin Fogarty said.

Two of the confirmed floodrelated deaths occurred near the same spot in Indiana; another was in Missouri. In all three cases, vehicles were swept off the road in flash floods. High water could be responsible for two more, both in Illinois, where a decomposed body was found Thursday in an Oak Brook creek and a body was found Saturday in the Mississippi River at Cora. Investigations continue.

And the danger is far from over, as spots south of St. Louis aren’t expected to crest until late this week. Significant flooding is possible in places

like Ste. Genevieve, Mo., Cape Girardeau, Mo., and Cairo, Ill. Adding to concern is a forecast that calls for heavy rain tonight and Tuesday throughout much of the Midwest. National Weather Service meteorologist Julie Phillipson said an inch of rain is likely in many places, some places even more. Rain is projected from Wisconsin through Missouri.

“That’s not what we want to see when we have this kind of flooding, that’s for sure,” Phillipson said.

Harley-Davidson riders and bicyclists zipped through Grafton, Ill., a tourist town 40 miles north of St. Louis, many pausing to snap pictures of the swollen river.

Floodwaters were lapping against the side of Grafton’s Artisan Village, a flea market-type business for artists.

Owner Marty Harp, 53, sipped a Miller Lite as he cast a wary eye to the sky.

“If we can hold off the crest and it doesn’t rain for a couple of days, it’ll be OK,” Harp said.

But anxiety looms regard-

ing the heavy snow the northern Midwest has received this month and what happens when it melts and makes its way into tributaries of the Missouri and Mississippi rivers. Forecasters said up to 6 inches of new snow was possible in the Black Hills area of South Dakota through Monday morning.

Hundreds of miles to the southeast, in La Grange, Mo., Lewis County emergency management director David Keith wasn’t bothered by the soggy forecast. Sandbags were holding back the murky Mississippi from La Grange City Hall, a bank and a handful of threatened homes. The water was receding.

“What we’re worried about now is all that snow melt in North and South Dakota and Minnesota,” Keith said.

AccuWeather meteorologist Alan Reppert said the timing of the snow melt could prove lucky: It may stay cold long enough up north to make for a gradual melt, giving the rivers time to thin out. Of greater concern, he said, is the Red River in

for capital projects until they softened their stance.

While many agree that colleges can’t sustain continued tuition increases if they’re to remain affordable, schools like Indiana University say a freeze isn’t the only way to go.

“Everybody seems to want to think, well, Purdue did something, so IU needs to respond,” IU spokesman Mark Land told The Indianapolis Star. “We’re not going to feel like we’re pressured toward anything by anybody else’s actions.”

But Kenley cautioned that any school that raises its costs this year should be prepared to justify the move.

Tuition increases across the country have exceeded the rate of inflation. At Purdue, for instance, tuition has more than doubled since 2002, when it was $4,164, according to the Indiana Commission for Higher Education. The rate now is $9,900 a year.

BY THE NUMBERS

WASHINGTON — Gun control advocates in the U.S. are scrambling to regroup after losing soundly to the National Rifle Association gun lobby on their best opportunity in years to tighten gun laws.

An angry President Barack Obama spoke at the White House last week after the Senate rejected background checks and other gun restrictions, including a new assault weapons ban.

“I see this as just round one,” the president said.

“Sooner or later, we are going to get this right.”

But if the deaths of 20 young children in a Connecticut school shooting in December, the pleas of grieving family members and Obama’s passionate pleas weren’t enough to push gun restrictions through a divided Congress, the road ahead is sure to be difficult.

The NRA is powerful as ever. Sentiment for stricter gun laws, which rose after the shootings, has slipped as the shock fades. Obama’s willingness to stick with the issue when he has immigration, budget and other pressing matters is uncertain.

Gun control advocates are pinning their best hopes on two broad paths forward: —Trying to counter the NRA’s grass-roots network of nearly 5 million members

GUN LAW DEBATE WHAT

Last week the Senate rejected background checks and an assault weapons ban, putting a temporary halt on tightening gun laws in the United States.

SO WHAT

Advocates are attempting to regroup and formulate a new plan after being defeated by the National Rifle Association.

They want to counter the NRA’s grass-roots efforts by summoning passion from those who support restrictions and strengthening gun laws at the state level first. by summoning more passion from people who support restrictions such as an expansion of background checks for gun purchasers. Unless public demand for tougher gun laws “becomes a permanent fixture in politics to counterbalance the NRA, it’s only going to be by luck and happenstance that gun control actually wins,” said Dartmouth government professor Ron Shaiko.

—Strengthening gun laws at the state level, where gun control advocates have had a number of significant victories in the months since the Connecticut shooting. “We’re seeing leadership that is coming from the states, and we’re going to be there to help that momentum and to make sure that momentum is felt here in this city, in Washington,” said Mark Kelly, who founded a gun control group with his wife, former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, after she was shot in the head by a gunman two years ago.

The NRA says public support naturally trends its way.

Rivers crest across Midwest, but rain still in forecast Floodwaters cause 2 confirmed deaths in Ind., 3 overall | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CLARKSVILLE, Mo. — Those fighting floods in several communities along the Mississippi River were mostly successful Sunday despite the onslaught of water, but an ominous forecast and the growing accumulation of snow in the upper Midwest tempered any feelings of victory.

The surging Mississippi was at or near crest at several places from the Quad Cities south to near St. Louis — some reaching 10-12 feet above flood stage. Problems were plentiful: Hundreds of thousands of acres of swamped farmland as planting season approaches; three people died; roads and bridges closed, including sections of major highways like U.S. 61 in Iowa and Missouri and crossings at Quincy, Ill.,

Along the Mississippi, a handful of river towns are most affected by the high waters — places like Clarksville, Mo., and Grafton that have chosen against flood walls or levees.

By Sunday, sandbagging had

Indiana officials were still determining whether flooded communities like Kokomo, Tipton and Elwood will be eligible for disaster aid.

PURDUE HITS ‘PAUSE’ ON TUITION RATES BOSTON: Citizens mourn

Mitch Daniels says freeze will remain for next 2 years | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue University’s decision to freeze tuition for the next two years is putting public scrutiny on policies at the state’s other public universities, but many say they won’t be pressured to follow suit.

President Mitch Daniels announced the freeze for Purdue’s West Lafayette campus March 1, saying “it’s time for us to hit the pause button on tuition increases.” It’s the first time in 36 years that Purdue students haven’t seen an increase.

The decision pleased lawmakers drafting the state’s next budget, including Sen. Luke Kenley, who criticized universities for tuition increases in 2009 while Daniels was governor and withheld funding

how much Purdue plans to cut its expenses in January. He ordered the tuition freeze about six weeks after taking office, and Purdue is now cutting its expenses by $40 million to cover the money a tuition increase would have generated.

“Sometimes a person like that comes in and asks a set of questions that hasn’t been asked before,” said Terry Hartle, senior vice president of the American Council on Education. “Why does tuition have to go up every year?

What can we do to prevent that from happening?”

Educators say Daniels’ move is only a temporary fix and doesn’t address college affordability over the long term.

Other state universities are discounting tuition to help boost college completion rates. Students who are on track to graduate in four years can receive scholarships or have tuition frozen at Ball State and IU. Both schools also reduce tuition for summer terms.

“We’re trying to address cost and time to a degree whenever we can together,” IU spokesman Land said.

Randy Howard, Ball State’s vice president of Business Affairs and treasurer, said his school wants to keep tuition as low as possible but says Ball State faces pressures from declining education funding and increasing costs for health care and utilities.

“Could Ball State do something like Purdue? It’s a different situation for us,” he said.

those lost in bombings

| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 The suspects are two ethnic Chechen brothers from southern Russia — 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and his 26-year-old brother, Tamerlan.

Their motive remained unclear.

The older brother was killed during a getaway attempt. The younger brother, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, remained hospitalized in serious condition Sunday after his capture Friday from a tarp-covered boat in a suburban Boston backyard.

Authorities would not comment on whether he had been questioned, but several officials have said Tsarnaev’s injuries left him unable to communicate, at least for now.

Shots were fired from the boat, but investigators haven’t determined where the gunfire was aimed, Davis said.

The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is tracing the weapons to

try to determine how they were obtained by the suspects.

Tsarnaev could be charged soon, although it was not clear what those charges would be. The twin bombings killed three people and wounded more than 180.

The most serious charge available to federal prosecutors would be the use of a weapon of mass destruction to kill people, which carries a possible death sentence. Massachusetts does not have the death penalty.

Across the rattled city, churches opened their doors to remember the dead and ease the grief of the living.

At the Cathedral of the Holy Cross in South Boston, photographs of the three people killed in the attack and an MIT police officer slain Thursday were displayed on the altar, the faces illuminated by glowing white pillar candles, one for each person lost.

Robyn Simore sports a pig snout and performs a number by Miss Piggy as she collects tips from the audience during The Queen’s Ball drag show. The money was donated to Karen Maddox to help her receive a kidney transplant.

Drag show raises more than $1K for family friend After 4 years, queen Chi Chi Leche takes stage for final BSU performance RYAN HOWE CHIEF REPORTER her. I’m definitely going | rhowe@bsu.edu miss it.”

It takes a special woman to get in front of a crowd of people and perform. With a spotlight showcasing every imperfection, her hair, make-up and stage presence has to demand the audience’s attention.

Luckily for the performers at The Queens Ball, they were working with a little something extra.

Eleven drag queens and three drag kings lip synced during the masquerade themed drag show in Ball Gymnasium on Saturday.

Even though the show was free, the audience wasn’t stingy with their money, tipping the performers with more than $1,000. The cash was donated to Karen Maddox, a family friend of one of the performers, to help her receive a kidney transplant.

“We were right around $600 before Chi Chi Leche took the stage as the final performer, and she helped raise $500,” host Bennett Williamson said.

Senior fashion merchandising and apparel design major Joey Torres has been performing as Chi Chi Leche since his freshman year. Saturday’s show was his final performance as a Ball State student.

Performing twice, Torres worked the crowd with full volume wigs pinned to his head, fake breasts and his tights stuffed with hip pads.

During both of his performances, Torres lost his fake breast while dancing.

“It’s a very bittersweet feeling leaving,” Torres said. “It’s something that I love to do and I have grown as a performer since being

The show started off with Robyn Simore emerging from the curtain with a pig nose plastered on her face. She did a Miss Piggy, Beyonce and Lady Gaga mash-up.

For some of the audience members it was the first drag queen they have seen perform, including sophomore social work major Cassie Gruettert.

Gruettert attended the drag show to offer support to her friend Dalton Cromer, who performed as Zsa Zsa La Femme.

“It’s really eye opening and different; everyone here is so open and accepting it’s amazing,” Gruettert said. “I didn’t know what to expect and I know that I want to go to anther show soon.”

It was the first time for a lot of performers to premiere their drag persona, including Zsa Zsa La Femme. After seeing the drag show in October, Cromer, a sophomore photojournalism

“It felt really good to be on stage, and see the crowd having such a good time,” Cromer said.

Cromer took the stage third and the crowd immediately flooded the stage with tips. He performed to a Beyonce medley and included a choreographed routine, all while in heels.

“I had a lot more choreography planned, but when they were at the stage with money, I thought it would be better to interact with them,” Cromer said.

For the drag show veterans, the show did not disappoint.

Sophomore journalism major Kerris Guinn came to support the queens and have a good time.

“They are all such talented performers and they have so much to offer,” Guinn said. “It’s great to see people who are so passionate get up and put on a show.”

Trays overflowed with pork rillettes, crunchy slaw, cotton candy Mountain Dew, BBQ bacon burgers and pumpkin cupcakes as 20 vendors donated their specialties and services to the Cornerstone Center for the Arts in exchange for community exposure in the 27th Annual Taste of Muncie on Sunday.

Sally Kirk, an originator of the Taste of Muncie event, attended as a volunteer with friend Mary Fitzwater. The event was Fitzwater’s first, but Kirk has attended Taste of Muncie 26 times.

Kirk said the event is a social get-together as well as a fundraiser for Cornerstone arts programs.

“You get to see people you may only see once a year,” Kirk said.

Fitzwater helped pass out programs and enjoyed the variety of food at Taste of Muncie. The Baklava from Damask Café was her choice for best dessert.

“I know the Baklava is my favorite and I haven’t even touched it yet,” she said.

Eight of the 20 vendors were new to Taste of Muncie this year, including The Silo and Damask Café.

Damask Café is a new Mediterranean or Syrian style restaurant. Owner Bassam Helwani recently joined the Taste of Muncie vendor list on Tuesday.

“We decided to bring the food to the Muncie community, rather than expect them to come to us,” Helwani said.

Ivy Tech student Alisha Mosier serves a dish made by students during the annual Taste of Muncie on Sunday. Twenty-two organizations had booths with food for tasting at the Cornerstone Center of the Arts building downtown.

He received positive response from attendees, and received “Best Entrée” for Damask Café’s summac chicken.

The Silo recently launched a new menu with smaller portions and more comfort food, owner Chris Ellison said. The event was an introduction of the new menu to the community. Although Sunday was The Silo’s first Taste of Muncie, Ellison said they would “absolutely be back next year.”

A group of students from Ivy Tech Community College attended not to promote a business, but to engage in a hands on learning experience.

The students created an appetizer, an entrée and a dessert based on the Muncie community’s tastes and preferences.

They chose comfort foods as the theme of their selections.

“We’re proud of our dishes,” culinary arts student Carletta Philips said.

EVAN BARNUM-STEGGERDA CHIEF REPORTER @Slice_of_Evan

Ball State men’s volleyball won its 13th match in row in straight sets (25-21, 25-17, 25-20) against I-69 rival IPFW on Saturday night. Another win against a conference opponent, all that changed was the stakes.

The Cardinals looked like it was business as usual in the first round of the Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association conference tournament as they ended the Mastodons’ season.

“I think it’s our team leaning on experience,” coach Joel Walton said. “They aren’t letting anything distract them.”

BASEBALL

Without any one player exploding for big numbers, it was a cohesive and collectively dominating performance from the No. 9 team in the country.

Ball State hit .338 to IPFW’s .080 for the match. Ball State’s five all-MIVA frontline players proved their merits and outblocked IPFW 14 to 5.

Throughout the match, IPFW setter Omar Rivera tried using quick sets to beat the Ball State block, but those attempts were often thwarted, leaving IPFW attackers on islands.

Even though the Cardinals only recorded two aces in the match, their service pressure keep the Mastodons out of system for a majority of the match, something Ball State capitalized on frequently.

“As a team, as a unit, we put ourselves in good positions,” senior outside hitter Jamion Hartley said.

INDIVIDUAL STATS VS. IPFW JAMION HARTLEY, SENIOR OUTSIDE ATTACKER • Sets played: 3 • Kills: 11 • Errors: 7 • Total attempts: 27 • Attack percentage: 14.8 • Serve percentage: 90.0 • Points: 13.5 Hartley recorded a match-high 11 kills.

Ball State’s win was a stepping stone in the MIVA Tournament, and the team is exuding a sense of confidence.

So how can they lose?

“I don’t know, I really don’t know,” Hartley said. “We’d have to give up on ourselves, and I don’t see that happening.”

BSU drops to fourth in MAC West after loss to Miami Cards 1/2 game back for place in MAC Tournament DAVID POLASKI STAFF REPORTER | @DavidPolaski

With Jarrett James on second with just one out, Ball State’s baseball team was looking to tie the game at six against Miami of Ohio, and then win a crucial series to help its potential playoff positioning.

It wasn’t meant to be for the Cardinals, as Dominick Catanzarite pinch hit for Elbert Devarie but struck out, and Wes Winkle popped up to the

short stop to end the rally.

For Ball State, it was its fourth series loss of the season out of five, and the team dropped to 6-9 in the MidAmerican Conference, fourth in the MAC West.

“At some point we have to move from close ones to getting over the top,” Ball State coach Rich Maloney said. “We haven’t been able to do it on a daily basis yet, we haven’t been able to gather enough steam to propel us to winning these series this year.”

Every time Ball State scored, Miami seemed to have an answer.

After Ball State’s Cody Campbell singled in the top of the first to give his team a 1-0

lead, Miami tied in the bottom of the frame when a run came home during a double play.

The Cardinals’ Sean Godfrey scored on a wild pitch during the fifth inning to tie the game at four. Miami regained the lead in the bottom of the fifth just minutes later after taking a walk, advancing on a wild pitch, then hitting single and double to stretch the lead to 6-4.

Godfrey had four steals, leaving an impact on Maloney’s mind.

“The way he’s played, the passion and energy he brings to the team is undeniable,” Maloney said. “He stands out on the field and it’s fun to watch, he made a few diving catches,

he was really impressive.”

The lead was cut to one on a Billy Wellman RBI in the eighth, but Ball State couldn’t muster a hit after that to continue the inning, or bring James home in the ninth.

It was the same story on Friday, when Scott Baker picked up his first loss of the season,

falling to 8-1, despite pitching his third straight complete game and allowing just one run off five hits, striking out eight.

Ball State had just seven hits on Friday and didn’t draw a walk, leading to its first of two, one run losses over the weekend.

Offense and pitching came together on Saturday, when Ball State won its only game of the series, 5-2. Winkle, Godfrey, Wellman and Schlotter all picked up RBI’s as Ball State scatted 12 hits across the field, while T.J. Weir picked up the win, throwing eight innings and allowing just two earned runs.

The close wins and losses

may end up defining Ball State’s season. The team sits just half a game behind Toledo for the final tournament spot.

The Cardinals still have four more MAC series to be played, meaning the half-game lead means virtually nothing at this point.

Regardless of the number of games remaining, Maloney isn’t likely to be happy with this team dropping the series to Miami.

“They’re still there, they’re on the cusp, just falling a hair short here and there,” Maloney said. “We just haven’t been able to finish it, and that’s the journey of learning how to do it.”

Cardinals split doubleheader, win ‘Think Pink’ game Game 1 loss snaps unbeaten streak in MAC play at 13-1 |

DAKOTA CRAWFORD STAFF REPORTER @DakotaCrawford_

Ball State softball split a pair of games with Miami on Sunday. The Cardinals now possess a 13-1 record in the Mid-American Conference, and move to 29-13 overall.

The team sported bright pink uniforms in support of breast cancer awareness. The day’s “Think Pink� theme had special meaning for freshman Kelsey Schifferdecker.

The pitcher’s older sister, Tasha Rinehart, who is fighting breast cancer, was in attendance. Rinehart did more than just support her sister, she threw the game’s first pitch.

Schifferdecker went on to throw the first complete shutout game of her career. In the

second game of the day, she held Miami to just two hits as a team. “It really meant a lot to me, just because of having my sister there, along with the rest of my family,� Schifferdecker said. “I wanted to play well for her.�

The first game of the day, however, was a different story.

Miami was able to score first, tallying two runs in the fifth inning. They would add a third run in the top of the seventh,

pushing their score to an eventual final of three runs.

Ball State had just one run in the game. Amanda Carpenter drove in the team’s only run.

With bases loaded, Carpenter hit a sacrifice fly allowing Loren Cihlar to score. The strong performance from Schifferdecker helped propel Ball State to a 6-0 victory in the second game of the double header.

After losing to Ohio State last week, and then suffering a defeat to Miami in the first half

of the double header, it was important for Ball State to get a win. “After losing in the first game, we just needed to get our grasp back and realize that we have what it takes to win,� Schifferdecker said.

Taylor Rager continued to play at a high level, going 3-for3 with two runs and two RBIs in Game 2.

At 13-1 in the MAC, Ball State holds a marginal lead over Central Michigan (11-3).

Students recover in between rounds of pigment throwing in celebration of Holi.

Splashes of COLOR

Organization hosts traditional festival to celebrate spring SAM HOYT STAFF REPORTER | sthoyt@bsu.edu Colored powder blew everywhere on Friday as participants in the Holi festival celebrated the arrival of spring outside of Noyer Complex.

Victoria Roser, a sophomore nursing major, was among the participants, throwing the pink, purple, green, yellow and blue powder and dancing.

“I think because it was colder, a bunch of people didn’t show up, but it was still pretty fun,” said Roser.

The event started with bags of colored powder being distributed to the group the attended, who would throw it in the air and at each other, celebrating the Hindu festival of color. Holi celebrates the oncoming of spring, a time of year which is

recognized for being joyous and symbolic of renewal.

The group gathered outside Noyer and danced to music played by the multicultural advisers.

Certain songs were structured with specific times to throw the powder, featuring countdowns ending in, “It’s powder time!”

Freshman animation major Lauren May said she was glad she attended.

“It was so much fun, and it was so much more than I expected. I really liked when everyone threw it up at the same time,” said May, whose nose and cheeks were flecked with blue.

Roser enjoyed the countdowns, saying it became a “moshpit of paint.”

The event was sponsored by the Residence Hall Association and the multicultural advisers, including Zafiro Joseph, a senior visual communications major.

“I’m glad that [people] were still able to turn out and were interested in the program, and I

just hope that they [had] a good time and hopefully they don’t catch a cold,” Joseph said.

The music echoing off the buildings was a blend of traditional music provided by the Indian Student Association and more modern songs, such as “Harlem Shake,” picked out by the multicultural advisers.

The ISA joined in on several songs, helping participants learn some of the traditional dances. The Belly Dance Club also did a show partway through the celebration.

Several of the celebrators saw posters for the event and were drawn in by the powder and dancing, but the cultural aspect was significant as well.

“I think it brings everyone together, especially if you don’t get much interaction with people of other cultures,” May said. “It really helps you learn more about different cultures of people who go here.”

Joseph said events like Holi are important to the college

A student stands stunned after being blasted with a bag of powder from her friends during the Holi festival. The students took part in the Hindu celebration of spring and a bountiful harvest.

HOLI FACTS

WHAT

A spring festival celebrated during March in India. The celebration was originally represented good harvest and fertility. The colored powder is still used to represent the arrival of spring.

SO WHAT

This festival dismisses the differences in class, gender and age. It helps to connect people and bridge the gap in social differences.

community.

“I think a lot of multicultural celebrations can come off as intimidating because they are different. I think there are a lot of similarities between the celebration we have in the United States and some that they have in other countries where it’s just a party,” she said. “Why does it matter what ethnicity you have or where you’re from? It’s a celebration, so why can’t we all do it together?”
