RACHEL PODNAR STAFF REPORTER rmpodnar@bsu.edu
Ball State came out on the winning end of a Supreme Court decision regarding workplace discrimination this week. On Monday, the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 in favor of Ball State in Vance v. Ball State, in which it found the university responded appropriately to complaints of a hostile work environment in an employeeto-employee setting. The Supreme Court’s dominant question was whether or not to uphold the previous definition of a supervisor in workplace discrimination cases. They did uphold previous court’s interpretation of a supervisor which, under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, is someone who has the power to make hiring and firing decisions about employees. In situations of workplace discrimination, an organization is liable if superiors within the organization are practicing discrimination, or if complaints of discrimination on an employee-to-employee level are not met with proper investigation and action.

Court strikes DOMA Law previously denied federal benefits to married gay couples THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — In a historic victory for gay rights, the Supreme Court on Wednesday struck down a provision of a federal law denying federal benefits to married gay couples and cleared the way for the resumption of same-sex marriage in California. The justices issued two 5-4 rulings in their final session of the term. One decision wiped away part of a federal anti-gay marriage law that has kept legally married same-sex couples from receiving tax, health and pension benefits. The other was a technical ruling that said nothing at all about same-sex marriage, but left in place a trial court’s declaration that California’s Proposition 8 is unconstitutional. Gov. Jerry Brown quickly ordered that marriage licenses be issued to gay couples as soon
as a federal appeals court lifts its hold on the lower court ruling, possibly next month. In neither case did the court make a sweeping statement, either in favor of or against same-sex marriage. And in a sign that neither victory was complete for gay rights, the high court said nothing about the validity of gay marriage bans in California and roughly three dozen other states. A separate provision of the federal marriage law that allows a state to not recognize a same-sex union from elsewhere remains in place. President Barack Obama praised the court’s ruling on the federal marriage act, which he labeled “discrimination enshrined in law.” “It treated loving, committed gay and lesbian couples as a separate and lesser class of people,” Obama said in a statement. “The Su-
Sept. 21, 1996 Former President Bill Clinton signed DOMA into law, defining marriage as between a man and a woman. The Senate’s final vote to pass the bill was 85-14. May 15, 2008 California Supreme Court overturns voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage, California becomes the second state to allow gays and lesbians to marry. Nov. 4, 2008 Voters approve Proposition 8, a ballot measure that amends the state constitution to limit marriage to a union between a man and a woman. About 18,000 gay couples have married during the five-month window before it takes effect the next day.

Wirt added that most students take about 10 years to pay back their student loans, but depending on how much money graduates earn, the payments can stretch out to many more years, making the impact of this rate increase greater.

And, if the loan is extended through other repayment plans, the costs increases.

HOOSIERS CELEBRATE DOMA, PROP 8 RULING Supporters say decision means hope in future progress for gay couples

SAM HOYT AND DAKOTA CRAWFORD news@bsudailynews.com
Part of the Defense of Marriage Act was overturned by the Supreme Court Wednesday, and supportive Hoosiers crowded the Statehouse steps to celebrate. Amid singing, dancing and flag-waving, Chris Paulsen, president of the equal rights group Indiana Equality Action, brought the decision home for the attentive crowd. “This will immediately have effects for people who live here in Indiana,” Paulsen said. “Bi-national couples have some rights that they didn’t have yesterday. That is a great day for some Hoosiers.” Gov. Mike Pence said in a statement that he was disappointed by the high court’s decision. “I believe marriage is the union between a man and a woman and is a unique institution worth defending in our state and nation,” he said. “For thousands of years, marriage has served as the glue that holds families and societies
together and so it should ever be.” Pence also said the people of Indiana should have their say on how marriage is defined in the state. “I look forward to supporting efforts by members of the Indiana General Assembly to place a constitutional amendment on the ballot for voter consideration next year,” he said. Jaime Whitaker, president of Ball State’s Spectrum, the university’s gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and straight ally organization, said the Supreme Court’s decision is a huge step in the right direction. “It was an amazing day,” Whitaker said. “We were still hoping for more, hoping that it would just finally be legal everywhere.” He said there is still work to be done, but it does have big implications for him. “For me, if you had to say it in just one word, it means hope,” Whitaker said. “I have, since I was young, always wanted to be married in my hometown with all of my family that lives there. To see the Supreme Court shoot down DOMA gives me hope that in the near future or sometime in my life I can see that happen.”
See HOPEFUL, page 4
Feb. 7, 2012 The 9th Circuit rules Proposition 8 is unconstitutional, saying it serves no purpose other than to “lessen the status and human dignity” of gays. May 9, 2012 President Obama’s became the first sitting president to endorse same-sex marriage. As a senator of Illinois and a presidential candidate in 2004, he endorsed civil unions but opposed gay marriage. But in 2012 he told ABC that his opinions changed. June 26, 2013 The Supreme Court votes 5-4 to let stand Walker’s ruling striking down Prop 8, holding that the coalition of religious conservative groups that qualified the initiative for the ballot did not have authority to defend it after state officials refused to do so. The Supreme Court rules DOMA unconstitutional.
WHAT EFFECT DO YOU THINK THE SUPREME COURT’S DECISION WILL HAVE ON GAY RIGHTS IN THE COUNTRY?
« It’s a step
in the right direction, but it’s not enough. You could draw a lot of parallels to this social movement to the Civil Rights Movement. The law may change but there will still be that prejudice.

actions against Vance,” Alito wrote in the majority. In her dissent Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said she regretted the Court’s narrow definition of a supervisor and called on Congress to intervene the “wayward interpretation of Title VII.” “The ball is once again in Congress’ court to correct the error into which this Court has fallen, and to restore the robust protections against workplace harassment the Court weakens today,” she said. Proudfoot reiterated in the circuit, U.S. appellate and Supreme Court, Ball State was found to have responded appropriately and acted under established practices regarding discrimination in the workplace. “The university does not tolerate discrimination,” Proudfoot said. “We have formal and informal procedures in place to address concerns, should they arise.”
TIMELINE A Ball State catering employee, Maetta Vance, alleged a fellow coworker, Saundra Davis, subjected her to a racially hostile work environment. Here is what happened: 2005 Maetta Vance accused co-worker Saundra Davis of racial harassment and retaliation. September 2008 The United States District Court, Southern District of Indiana, dismissed the case without hearing oral arguments. June 2011 The United States Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the lower court’s decision. November 2012 Vance v. Ball State was argued before the Supreme Court. June 2013 Justice Samuel Alito delivered the opinion of the Supreme Court, supporting Ball State and upholding the previous court’s definition of a supervisor as someone who has the power to make hiring and firing decisions about employees.

Vice president of communications Tony Proudfoot expressed Ball State’s happiness with the outcome of the “long and complex” case in a statement Monday. “Ball State remains actively committed to diversity and maintaining a welcoming community for everyone,” Proudfoot said. “Today’s decision [reiterates] Ball State promptly investigated each complaint and properly calibrated its response to the results of the investigation and the severity of the alleged conduct.” In Vance v. Ball State, a Ball State catering employee, Maetta Vance, alleged a fellow coworker, Saundra Davis, subjected her to a racially hostile work environment in 2005. Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, it is “an unlawful employment practice for an employer
... to discriminate against any individual ... because of such individual’s race, color, religion, sex or national origin.” In September 2008, the United States District Court, Southern District of Indiana dismissed the case without hearing oral arguments. In June 2011, United States Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the lower court’s decision. The case was argued before the Supreme Court on November 26, 2012. Seven months later, Justice Samuel Alito delivered the opinion of the Supreme Court. “We hold that an employee is a ‘supervisor’ for purposes of vicarious liability under Title VII if he or she is empowered by the employer to take tangible employment actions against the victim. There is no evidence that BSU empowered Davis to take any tangible employment
Data analysis done by the Project on Student Debt found that 70 percent of Ball State students graduate with some student debt. In the same study, the group found that Cardinals on average owe $25,667 after graduation, just below the national average of $26,000. Graduates leaving school with Ball State’s average $25,667 in debt can expect to pay more than $35,000 for their education. With only two days for Congress to reach an agreement, it looks unlikely that they will in time. But these changes

aren’t set in stone. Wirt said lawmakers will discuss the rates again in the future, which would allow Congress to adjust them again. “Those rates might be good for a year or two,” Wirt said. “Then they will come back and look at them again. They’re talking about going to a kind of variable rate in the future, something that would be tied to market interest rates. That’s always out there. Financial aid is an ever-changing landscape.” The rate increase would only affect loans given after the July 1 change, allowing the rate for graduates and
every family should be able to afford, every young person with dreams and ambition should be able to access. And now is not the time for us to turn back on young people. Now is not the time to slash the investments that help us grow.” The Associated Press reported Wednesday that Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada said he couldn’t back a plan being proposed that doesn’t include stronger protections for students and parents. A bipartisan group announced the plan that would move forward Thursday, which links student loan interest rates to financial markets.

Patriots player charged with murder Hernandez released from team, faces 6 charges in new case | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ATTLEBORO, Mass. — Professional football player Aaron Hernandez killed his friend at an industrial park a mile from Hernandez’s house several days after the two feuded during a trip to a nightclub, authorities said in announcing a murder charge against him. Hernandez was taken from his home in handcuffs Wednesday morning, more than a week after Boston semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd’s body was found. Less than two hours after his arrest, his team the New England Patriots announced they had cut Hernandez from the team. Lloyd was a 27-year-old semipro football player for the Boston Bandits. His relatives said he was dating the sister of Hernandez’s fiancee, that the two men
were friends and that the men were out together on the last night of Lloyd’s life. He was shot multiple times in the back and chest, authorities said. Hernandez and two friends picked up Lloyd at home at 2:30 a.m. on June 17, prosecutors said. Surveillance footage from Hernandez’s home shows him leaving earlier with a gun. He also told someone in the house that he was upset and couldn’t trust anyone anymore, prosecutors said. After picking up Lloyd, Hernandez said he was upset with Lloyd because Lloyd had spoken with people Hernandez had trouble with during their outing to the nightclub, prosecutors said. After that conversation, Lloyd texted his sister, “Did you see who I am with,” prosecutors said. When his sister asked who, he answered at 3:22 a.m., “NFL,” then, a minute later, “Just so you know,” prosecutors said. The judge ordered Hernandez held without bail pending further proceedings.

PRESERVING A PROGRAMS’ STORY Q: How rewarding is it to finally see your book materialize?
A: It’s really rewarding for me, but I think the bigger thing is being able to know that the story is out there. We’re at a time-point now with this story where it has been told orally before, as that’s how it’s been passed down. But there’s never been a story like this about how this team started written down, so it’s fully preserved for future generations.

T
he Ball State men’s volleyball program is coming off of one of the most successful seasons in recent program history. In “The Volleyball Debate,” Vinnie Lopes, former editor-in-chief at the Ball State VINNIE LOPES Author of “The Daily News, chronicles a rich history Volleyball that makes the program’s modern-day Debate” success possible. From a 1960s athletic department that fought to keep men’s volleyball a club sport, to the rich line of coaching careers that have grown from Don Shondell’s legacy, Lopes provides readers with an in-depth look at the volleyball program’s history.
A: Ball State [volleyball] became a varsity sport in 1964, but leading up to that there was this five-year debate and struggle about whether or not volleyball should be a varsity sport. You had an athletic director and other people within the athletic department that did not want it to become a varsity sport; they didn’t feel that it warranted being a varsity sport and other people felt it should be one, and it was an area that Ball State could excel in.
Q: What drove volleyball into becoming a varsity sport?
A: First and foremost, it was the work of Don Shondell. Don Shondell, former coach at Ball State, he started the Ball State men’s volleyball program. He was very adamant about growing volleyball, not only at Ball State, but throughout the Midwest. What happened in the 1960s, is you had Ball State become a leader in volleyball. There was no conference; Don Shondell started one that is still around today, the MIVA.
Q: How did Don Shondell’s experience lead into his sons entering the sport?
A: He just brought that love for the sport into his home and just kind of carried it through his family. What you see now, is not only are they great in volleyball, but the Don Shondell coaching tree. Whether it’s Steve Shondell who is coaching at Ball State, or Dave Shondell at Purdue, or even Don Shondell’s grandchildren.
Q: What’s one thing you would tell potential readers?
A: This is a book that touches multiple theories of interest, so even if you’re not a Ball State volleyball fan, if you’re just a fan of Ball State sports, you’re going to read it and understand the modern-day implications of the athletic department and why we see some struggles in the modern-day athletic department.
Q: How has the reception for your book been so far?
A: So far it’s been great. I’ve had people coming to me wanting to get a copy. Obviously, its not like ‘Harry Potter,’ so I didn’t have people lined up at midnight for it. But it’s been great to see people, whether it’s tweeting me ‘hey, how can I get a copy?’ or saying I’m going to get a copy with my next paycheck.
Q: Any ideas for your second book?
A: Nothing too specific right now, I’m just going to kind of sit back and enjoy this book being released. As Don Shondell told me, I’ve covered the first four years of Ball State men’s volleyball and there’s another 46 years left, so that’s a possibility.

Roy Hibbert and David West of the Indiana Pacers react during Game 7 of the NBA Conference Finals. The Pacers will have the 23rd and 53rd picks in the draft, and are hoping to make a better team that will take them further in the playoffs.
Pacers hope picks lead to ‘a top team’ Team says nothing is out of question with tonight’s draft | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Pacers could do just about anything in tonight’s NBA draft. “We know where we’re at and where we’re trying to be — a top team,” Pritchard told reporters Tuesday during the team’s informal pre-draft availability. It’s a draft most analysts believe is deep, rather than top-heavy, and that could play right into the hands of the Pacers. The Pacers are scheduled to make one pick in each of the two rounds, Nos. 23 and 53 overall. “I think that we can get better shooting as every team in the league can get, we can get a defensive player or two at different positions, playmakers, so we’re looking at those elements more than individual players,” president of basketball operations Donnie Walsh said. The Pacers have brought in more than three dozen players for workouts, and there’s no clear consensus on who Indiana will take. ne from Tim Hardaway Jr. to Ricky Ledo. The common thread is that each is a shooting guard, a move that could help Indiana improve. “It’s been my history to move and be active,” Pritchard said with a smile. “Sometimes it’s worked, sometimes it hasn’t. somebody who fits.”
FEDERER STUNNED BY STAKHOVSKY 116th-ranked opponent eliminates 7-time champ in 2nd round of Wimbledon | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON — Seven-time champion Roger Federer was stunned by 116th-ranked Sergiy Stakhovsky in the second round of Wimbledon on Wednesday, his earliest loss in a Grand Slam tournament in 10 years. The 27-year-old Ukrainian outplayed Federer on Centre Court, serving and volleying his way to a 6-7 (5), 7-6 (5), 7-5, 7-6 (5) victory that stands out as one of the biggest upsets in Grand Slam history. The result capped a chaotic day at Wimbledon when seven players were forced out by injuries, and former cham-
pion Maria Sharapova fell in the second round to a qualifier. Seven former No. 1 -ranked players all departed the tournament Wednesday. Federer’s loss ended his record streak of reaching at least the quarterfinals at 36 consecutive Grand Slam tournaments, a run that began at Wimbledon in 2004, shortly after a third-round exit at that year’s French Open. “It’s always a disappointment losing any match around the world, and particularly here,” Federer said. “I’ve had some great moments here, but also some tougher ones. Can’t have ‘em all. It was a tough loss today.” The owner of a record 17 major championships, Federer hadn’t been beaten in the second round or earlier since a first-round defeat at the 2003 French Open. The 31-year-old Federer said he won’t “panic” and will work hard to come back stronger.
“I’m looking forward to what’s to come,” he said. “Looking forward to next year, that I can do better next year. “ Federer said the end of his quarterfinal run does not represent the end of an era. “I still have plans to play for many more years to come,” he said. “It’s normal that after all of a sudden losing early after being in the quarters 36 times, people feel it’s different. “ Federer’s shock defeat was his earliest at the All England Club since a first-round loss in 2002 to No. 154-ranked Mario Ancic. Stakhovsky is the lowest-ranked player to beat Federer at any event since then. Wednesday’s defeat came on the same grass court Federer has made his own for nearly a decade. It ended with Stakhovsky converting on his second match point, a 13-stroke rally that finished with Federer hitting a backhand wide.

Library app fails to meet expectations
DOMA & PROPOSITION 8
BrowZine does not BY THE NUMBERS offer enough titles 2,700 titles number of e-journals during iPad trial offered by the BrowZine tablet app. KRYSTAL BYERS STAFF REPORTER | kmbyers@bsu.edu 50,000 titles Ball State Libraries has decided not to subscribe to an e-journal iPad app after its trial run ends this week. Brad Faust, the assistant dean for library information technology services at Bracken Library, said the primary reason for the decision was the limited amount of titles available compared to the library’s entire title base. “BrowZine provided access to 2,600 to 2,700 e-journal titles that we have,” he said. “That’s compared to about 50,000 titles we provide access to across all of the information services in the University Libraries. It’s a fairly small percentage of the title base.” Ball State agreed on a trial run of the app from mid-May until the end of June. In the first two weeks, the table of contents was viewed 761 times and 255 articles were retrieved from 188 e-journals. Faust has no doubt that there will be interest in apps like BrowZine, although BrowZine was only available for use on the iPad. “I think increasingly it’s important that we reach out to students on mobile devices,” Faust said. “That’s a very powerful device. Tablets are very powerful devices and delivery of information online meshes very well with those kinds of client use devices. I think there’s a lot of value there.” Faust said the libraries are always looking for opportunities to improve access to library resources, and he

Diane Calvin, head of information services, was one of the first people to try the BrowZine app. “I thought it was very user-friendly, that’s what impressed me the most about it,” she said. “As long as somebody understood ‘I want this journal, I want this issue’ then it was very easy to maneuver and navigate through the interface. That’s one of the things I always look for.” Calvin said students with a tablet or mobile device can go to the library’s homepage at bsu.edu/library and see a mobile icon where they can then download mobile apps onto their devices. “We see a lot of students coming through with laptops but also coming through with tablets and other devices,” she said. “We figure if there’s a way of making electronic resources available in yet another format, that’s a great thing.”
DOMA: Supreme Court avoids broader Prop 8 ruling

“We have no authority to decide this case on the merits, and neither did the 9th Circuit,” Roberts said, referring to the federal appeals court that also struck down Proposition 8. In the case involving the federal Defense of Marriage Act, Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote the majority opinion, joined by the court’s liberal justices. “Under DOMA, same-sex married couples have their lives burdened, by reason
of government decree, in visible and public ways,” Kennedy said. “DOMA’s principal effect is to identify a subset of statesanctioned marriages and make them unequal,” he said. Some in the crowd outside the court hugged and others jumped up and down just after 10 a.m. EDT Wednesday when the DOMA decision was announced. Many people were on their cell phones monitoring Twitter, news sites and blogs for word of the decision. And there
DOMA decision by the court’s four liberal justices. Chief Justice Roberts, Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas, and Scalia dissented. Same-sex marriage has been adopted by 12 states and the District of Columbia. Another 18,000 couples were married in California during a brief period when same-sex unions were legal there. The outcome is clear for people who were married and live in states that allow samesex marriage. They now are eligible for federal benefits.

Court’s decision. “We’re going to start staffing up and we will have grassroots people on the ground, speaking to legislators and constituents to try to stop the vote,” Paulsen said. “The fight starts here in this building tomorrow.” She said some of the things people can do to join their fight is spread the word, donate money or volunteer, and that college students can be a part of it all. “We’re going to be mobilizing to colleges,” Paulsen said. “We’re going to have a college organizer going around to Ball State, to IU, to Purdue, to mobilize college students. You guys are our future.” She said supporters need to stand up, speak out, make their voices heard and make their actions count, bringing up the example of Edith Windsor, the plaintiff in the case. “It took an 83-year-old lesbian to make the Supreme Court realize their mistake,” Paulsen said. “Edith Windsor will be one of the new LGBT folk heroes. She spent millions of her own money to help us have rights in the future. We need people like that to step up. Everybody can make a difference.”

DAVID OWSLEY MUSEUM OF ART LOOKS TO SPUR CRITICAL THINKING A program at the David Owsley Museum of Art welcomes anyone to bring their lunch and discuss the visual elements of artwork on Friday. The Talking About Art program, which begins at noon, projects a piece from the museum and encourages participants to collectively examine what the work is about simply by using evidence from the work itself. Cathy Bretz, the education program coordinator for the museum and one of the leaders of the program, said she hopes people get a better understanding of how to discuss art using the strategies. “The discussion utilizes a specific method known as visual thinking strategies,” Bretz said. “It is a method that is pretty much designed for participants to learn through art. It’s not about the art from a historical perspective. It’s more geared to conversation and critical thinking.” Bretz said the discussion is led by a series of three questions: “What’s going on in this picture?” “What do you see that makes you say that?” “What more can we find?” “The questions are designed to get people talking about the story,” Bretz said. “They’re thinking about the possibilities, and there’s no one right answer. It’s asking participants to think critically. It’s not just imagination — it’s supported arguments.”

Chants of “Thank you” and “USA” came from the crowd as plaintiffs in the cases descended the court’s marbled steps. Most of those in the crowd appeared to support gay marriage, although there was at least one man who held a sign promoting marriage as between a man and a woman. Kennedy was joined in the

Elizabeth Boyle, a senior nursing major, said she doesn’t have much of an opinion on same-sex marriage, but feels it shouldn’t be allowed due to her religion. “I just think [marriage] is not going to be as respected,” Boyle said. “I just think it should be just a man and a woman and if it’s going to allow same-sex it’s just not going to be taken as seriously.” Carli Hendershot, the Student Government Association representative for Spectrum, attended the celebration at the courthouse with a group of about 10 other members. She said she hopes more states will legalize gay marriage and LGBT rights will be expanded. “It means a lot to me,” Hendershot said. “I have a future that I might be able to marry the girl of my dreams.” As hopeful as she is now, Hendershot and Whitaker could be unable to make their respective wedding plans if HJR-6 is passed. HJR-6 is an upcoming joint resolution that would constitutionally make marriage in Indiana only between a man and a woman, effectively blocking the Supreme
TEXAS SENATOR, FORMER TEEN MOM SPEAKS FOR RIGHTS National debate over bill ensues after 12-hour filibuster | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS AUSTIN, Texas — As she spoke late into the night, railing against proposed abortion restrictions, a former Texas teen mom catapulted from little-known junior state senator to national political superstar in pink tennis shoes. Wendy Davis needed lastminute help from shrieking supporters to run out the clock on the special session of the state Legislature and kill the bill, but her old-fashioned filibuster earned her widespread praise from fellow abortion-rights supporters — including a salute from President Barack Obama. Davis was on her feet for more than 12 hours Tuesday
— actively speaking most of that time — as Democrats sought to use her one-woman marathon speech to derail a bill that would have closed nearly every abortion clinic in the nation’s second most populous state. As a midnight deadline loomed and Davis continued to talk, political junkies from coast-to-coast tuned in via Internet, and Davis’ followers on Twitter ballooned from around 1,200 to more than 79,000. Suddenly, photos of the running shoes were everywhere and #StandWithWendy was trending. Obama’s official Twitter account posted: “Something special is happening in Austin tonight.” Similar messages of support came from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. All this for a 50-year-old Harvard-trained attorney and one-time single mother from

Davis, a former teen mom, successfully killed the bill, but Gov. Rick Perry has called a second 30day special session to pass the bill. Fort Worth, once dismissed by Republican Gov. Rick Perry as a “show horse.” Until recently, Davis was perhaps best known for dating former Austin Mayor Will Wynn. But Davis’ sudden surge in popularity came as no surprise to Texas Democrats,
who chose her as the face of the battle to block the bill. “She’s a total fighter,” said Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Action Fund and daughter of the late former Texas Gov. Ann Richards. “And the thing about Sen. Davis, she says she’s going to do something, she gets it done.” Davis’ filibuster ultimately lasted about 11 hours before Republicans complained she had strayed off topic and cut her off. But that action prompted a lengthy debate with Democrats and deafening protests from hundreds of orange-clad abortionrights activists in the gallery that spilled past the midnight deadline to kill all pending legislation. Even after she’d stopped speaking, however, Davis continued to stand for more than an additional hour while her colleagues argued about whether her filibuster was really over.

PATIENCE KEY IN PROGRESS
After Illinois’ same-sex marriage bill stalled in the House in May, I was not sure how to BY THE NUMBERS react. Angry, because same-sex marriage in my home state would be delayed even longer. Glad, because at least they didn’t strike down received by New York the bill and halt progress even more. state’s economy in the In the end, I decided to rely on the virtue of first year of having samepatience. Just because the bill didn’t pass then, it sex marriage legalized didn’t mean it wouldn’t pass in the near future. And now, I have even more reason to hope. Nearly 17 years after former President Bill Clinton signed the Defense of Marriage Act into in tax revenue received law, the Supreme Court finally knocked down by New York state that a crucial part of the act. Now, legally married same year same-sex couples qualify for the same federal rights as all other married couples. And with this decision, same-sex marriage the estimated increase in Illinois — and the rest of the U.S., for that to the federal budget if matter — feels a whole lot closer. same-sex marriage is In a statement Wednesday, Illinois Gov. legalized nationally Pat Quinn matched this hope for Illinois to move forward. “Today the Supreme Court took a historic step by providing equal access to more than 1,100 federal rights and benefits for samesex couples,� Quinn said in the statement. “Members of the Illinois House now have more than 1,100 new reasons to make marriage equality the law in Illinois.� This Supreme Court decision not only means 1,100 new reasons to make same-sex marriage legal in Illinois, but 1,100 new reasons in every state where it has yet to be legalized. As of today, 18 percent of Americans live in a state where marriage equality exists. Since the Supreme Court decisions Wednesday also led to the end of Proposition 8 in California, soon marriage equality will resume there. That will raise the percentage of Americans living under marriage equality to 30 percent. If Illinois follows these footsteps, that percentage will rise to 34 percent. In other words, over a third of the U.S. population would have marriage equality. While the nation clearly has a long way to go, this progress is something to celebrate. I never expected the Supreme Court to fully legalize same-sex marriage in the U.S. Taking such a step would be unprecedented given the court’s history. Nonetheless, they took a step in the right direction Wednesday. Headway is being made. The new benefits same-sex married couples will have with the Supreme Court’s decision on DOMA will provide them with a wealth of benefits financially. But we’ve seen that same-sex marriage would not just benefit same-sex couples financially. In New York’s first year of having same-sex marriage legalized, the state’s economy received a $259 million boost, according to a CNN article. Along with that, the state received $16 million in tax revenue. The article also cites estimates that, if legalized nationally, it could provide an extra $1 billion for the Federal budget. Why deny something that exemplifies our nation’s principles of liberty and equality? Our nation can no longer deny how same-sex marriage will benefit our nation in principle, financially and in so many other ways. For now, I’m proud to be standing on the right side of history. And at some point down the road, I will be proud that the marriage equality debate has become history, no longer a worry of the present. It’s only a matter of time.

BABY STEPS NOT ENOUGH The Supreme Court’s decisions on two marriage equality cases became historic Wednesday, but baby steps aren’t enough when civil rights are being ignored. With a decision of 5-4 for United States v. Windsor, the Supreme Court deemed the Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional under the Fifth Amendment. This is just short of 20 years after President Bill Clinton signed it in 1996. “DOMA instructs all federal officials, and indeed all persons with whom same-sex couples interact, including their own children, that their marriage is less worthy than the marriages of others,� wrote Justice Anthony M. Kennedy for the majority. This is too true, but not just socially. Heterosexual married couples receive more than 1,000 federal benefits that same-sex couples don’t, even after they are legally married, according to GLAAD. That is the most important part: getting the federal benefits. Yes, it would be amazing if this helped lessen a social stigma, but now married same-sex couples can get more of the marital benefits they deserve, such as hospital visitation rights. No longer do they need to worry about not being able to be at the side of their badly injured spouse in the hospital. The couples finally will get that right, as morbid as it can be. Still, the decision stopped short of marriage equality being a constitutional right. In the second announcement of the day, the Supreme Court continued to skirt away from that answer. In Hollingsworth v. Perry, the 5-4 decision truly wasn’t based on the topic of marriage equality. It was about whether the supporters of Proposition 8 — California’s same-sex marriage ban — had the right to defend it even after the governor and attorney general declined to do so. “We have never before upheld the standing of a private party to defend the constitutionality of a state statute when state officials have chosen not to,� wrote Chief Justice John Roberts for the majority. “We decline to do so for the first time here.� While the decision says California should dismiss the defense and thus insure same-sex marriage is legal once again, it has no legal affect on any other state. So, the Supreme Court passed up an opportunity to make an actual decision on same-sex marriage. “What a shame� doesn’t even cover it. Yes, victories have been achieved. Yes, this could motivate states to pass same-sex marriage — to make it so more than just 30 percent of Americans live with marriage equality, according to the Human Rights Campaign. Yes, it’s worth celebrating. These were huge decisions. But it’s not enough. The Supreme Court failed to take the opportunity to decide if marriage equality was a constitutional right. That’s why, with the victories fresh, people must continue to push — harder still – to show small movements aren’t tolerated. This cannot be the end. Even more, marriage equality cannot be seen as the only fight for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community. When you take issues to the spotlight one at a time, you risk leaving behind many important fights. You risk becoming too satisfied with the victory of a single fight and stop trying to win the war.

MICHAEL BOEHNLEIN DESIGN EDITOR maboehnlein@bsu.edu
More than a thousand students from 33 different states have taken over Ball State for the annual Music for All Summer Symposium. The program, sponsored by Yamaha, started Monday and offers students the opportunity to study concert band, marching band and jazz band, as well as orchestra, percussion, color guard and drum majors. High school and middle school band directors can also attend to network and train with professional directors from around the country. Throughout the week students will be training with
professionals during the day and attending professional performances at night. Jacob Melton is a junior at New Castle Chrysler High School and is very impressed by the performances he has seen so far. “The concerts have been very enjoyable,” Melton said. “The first night showcased many different styles and I was very impressed.” Melton said he is happy to be performing with students like him, who love music as much as he does. “Only a handful of times have I been able to play in an ensemble with people who have the same amount of skill and dedication,” Melton said. “[We all] want to be great and sound amazing.” The week features training workshops for the young musicians that will help them hone their craft and improve their skills. “If you’re not up to the standards of the majority of people, it’s always good to be
around others who can challenge you,” Melton said. “You get challenged in a way that makes you want to improve while you’re here.” Thomas Caneva, director of bands at Ball State, is the division coordinator for the concert band track and wants to get as many students as possible involved in music. “Many of these students won’t become music majors, but just the fact that they’re participating and growing, it improves their love of music, and we think that’s a very important part of what we do here,” Caneva said. Caneva said he is happy to be promoting music education,and believes this event is also a good way to promote the university. “Anytime you can attract students from all over the country to our campus, to let them see Ball State and see what our facilities are like, is good,” he said. “Many of those students, some of them

may decide to go to Ball State because of the fact that they came to visit our campus.” Randy Tice will be a freshman at University of North Carolina at Greensboro in the fall and has traveled over 700 miles for the music camp. Tice said he has enjoyed how different the program is from other programs he’s been a part of in high school. “[The students here] are reaching for a common goal and they all want to be here, whereas in high school they may all be working for the same goal but they’re not all putting in the same amount
of effort,” Tice said. Tice is a part of the concert band track and is hoping the week will help him develop his leadership skills. “[The programs] aren’t really too rigorous but at the same time they’re not too easy,” he said. “We’ve been working hard but we’ve been having fun doing it at the same time.” There will be another performance at 8 p.m. tonight in the John R. Emens Auditorium. The Drum Corps International will have a competition at Scheumann Stadium at 7 p.m. on Friday. “[On Friday] we’ll all talk about our favorite corps and their scores, and I’ll have the most insane drum corps talk I’ve ever partaken in,” Tice said. “It’s unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. This truly has been a life changing experience and I encourage anyone interested in music to take advantage of this.”

For 15 years Animal Rescue Fund has saved thousands of animals and been a home for more than 120 dogs, cats and even pigs. Terri Panszi founded ARF in a tiny house with a garage on Riggin Road in Muncie. Panszi was once the only person to take care of the animals. “We have educated Muncie community how to take care of their pets, how to show their pets love and compassion, and we are still trying to do improve
the community,” she said. Melissa Blair, director of ARF, said they have extended ARF from that tiny house to be a cat house, adoption center and Bark Park, which is open to ARF members. Membership costs $50 and offers access to the Bark Park to walk their pets, and help other animals, she said. “ARF believes in human education and we have always focused on younger children, starting from preschool age through elementary school,” Panszi said. ARF is also starting a brand new program called BARC, Beginning Animal Rescue Class, which will focus on Muncie’s lower income district. “We are targeting high risk areas to teach children the importance of animal care, anti-dog

Most of the animals that ARF have rescued are dogs and cats, but there have been some pigs as well. “We never set a cap at the number because it’s a nonconventional rescue and always makes a room for one more animal,” Blair said.

An adoptable cat sits on a perch inside ARF. The shelter has been open for 15 years and has been a resource for the people of Muncie to find pets.
She said this is possible because ARF isn’t a city municipality, but rather relies on donations to operate. “ARF is my dream come
true, but we need to do more in other directions,” Panszi said. “We need to help people and educate more who need help with their pets.”

INTERNATIONAL DRUM LINE COMES BACK TO PERFORM
The Drum Corp International Tour will return to Muncie for the third time on Friday. The performance will be part of Ball State’s weeklong Music For All Summer Symposium, in which thousands of high school band students and high school directors take part in activities. The DCI will march in Scheumann Stadium at 7 p.m. with the world’s top class drum corps. “Drum Corp International always brings something new, and this year they have prepared a new scene,” said Sue Kuehnhold, senior manager of tour and special events for DCI. “Of course there are many reasons why DCI is coming to march at BSU, but one of the reasons is being partners with the Music For All.” Kuehnhold said she hopes to see a good turnout. “It will be a great entertainment for people who want to come and enjoy the march,” she said. –
