McGrath was at the 25-mile mark at the 2013 Boston Marathon when a bomb went off at the finish-line. She said marathon officials stopped them from going any further after the bombing. Now two years later, McGrath said she is happy the trial is finally moving along for the bomber so she, and everyone else involved, can move on and close that chapter.

“It’s not just for kids; we also have to make sure that everybody has the opportunity to train themselves for better jobs, better wages, better benefits,” he said in a video posted on Facebook. In order for students to get the aid, they must attend community college as at least a half-time student, maintain a 2.5 GPA and make steady progress to their degree, according to whitehouse.gov. Students must work toward either a program that is fully transferable to a public fouryear college or an occupational training program that could get them hired right out of college. Federal funding would cover three-quarters of the cost of community college, and the state will cover the rest of the remaining cost, according to whitehouse.gov. Although the proposal has generated concerns as to whether it is actually plausible, Bowne said he thought it was doable. “It has to work its way through the legislative process, so it becomes [a matter of whether] it is considered to be a wise investment of tax payer dollars,” Bowne said.

According to the Indiana State Department of Health’s website, Indiana has had a total of 66 influenza-associated deaths during the 2014-15 season. That’s 65 more than this time last year. Deidre Dorman, Medical Director of The Ball State University Health Center, said the higher number of people suffering from the virus can be attributed to this year’s flu vaccine. “It is true that the current flu vaccine is not well matched for the current circulating strains of influenza and therefore the CDC is expecting higher numbers of cases of influenza this year,” Dorman said. Bird said it can be difficult to create the perfect flu vaccine. “They got some of it right, but the flu virus itself mutated and changed over time and made the vaccine less effective,” Bird said. “It changes every year, so part of it is kind of a guessing game on the part of the people who make the vaccine.” Dorman said the Health Center hasn’t seen a growing number of flu patients yet, unlike Ball Memorial. “We started seeing flu patients during the first two weeks of December, but with the timing of Christmas break, we really haven’t seen a huge influx in the number of our patients,”

ANDREW BOWNE, East Central and Richmond Regional Chancellor at Ivy Tech Community College year, Ball State had 374 people transfer from a two-year institution, and 333 from a four-year institution, according to the Ball State fact book. Ball State has a transfer program set up with Ivy Tech to help students who were not admitted to the university out of high school. The transfer program, Connect, ensures admission. Connect counselors at Ivy Tech help students to choose classes that meet the transfer requirements. If Obama’s proposal is implemented by the states, it could save full-time community college students $3,800 in tuition per year and benefit about nine million students per year, according to whitehouse.gov. Tennessee was the first state to offer tuition-free community college. Beginning with the class of 2015, said Dorman. “When I look back at last year’s information from the ISDOH, there was a second spike in flu patients around week 3 and so there is the possibility that we will notice more flu patients in the next few weeks.” Both Ball Memorial and the Health Center recommend taking the usual precautions to avoid catching the virus. “The ways to prevent the spread of influenza are the same as every year — perform good hand washing, cover your mouth when you cough,” Dorman said.

all high school graduates can apply for the Tennessee Promise scholarship, which can give them two-years of free community college in Tennessee, according to Tennesseepromise.gov. Bowne said a potential downside to the proposal for some would be that a federally funded education might potentially take control out of the local and state levels. But even so, he said something had to be done. “If we’re going to change the equation for families, change the equation for us as a state and as a nation we’ve got to do something significantly different and this proposal will certainly do that.” Morley Winograd, the president of Campaign for Free College Tuition, a nonprofit organization helping

Even though its less than regular college, it’s still a significant outlay of funds.” He said when students have to take time off from studying to work, either their grades go down, or it extends the amount of time they have to be in school, which further increases the cost. “We think the impact of this would be increased grad

Team’s only senior is ‘a warrior,’ coach says Center Kamieniecki reflects on injury, daring style of play

ANTHONY LOMBARDI ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR @Lombardi_edits

As the son of a former Major League Baseball pitcher, fifth-year senior Matt Kamieniecki was raised in a competitive environment. “I was taught from my dad to never take a play off,” Kamieniecki said. “To always play each game like it’s your last.” Since arriving at Ball State as a freshman out of Clarkston, Mich., in 2010, Kamieniecki has experienced a lot of change. He is the only player remaining from the 2010-11 men’s basketball team. The program is under new leadership, with James Whitford replacing Billy Taylor as head coach prior to the 2013-14 season. Kamieniecki has even grown an inch and added 18 pounds. One constant over that time, however, has been Kamieniecki’s on-the-court effort. “[The way I play] is something that I got credit for when I came [to Ball State],” Kamieniecki said. “It’s just kind of

something that came naturally to me at a young age.” Whether it’s diving for loose balls, battling on the boards for second-chance opportunities or giving up his body on a charge, Ball State’s lone senior has

earned a reputation. His reckless style does come with a few drawbacks, as Kamieniecki has played through nagging back and hip injuries all season. “There’s a difference be-

tween being injured and being sore,” he said. “You just got to learn to play through some stuff. You kind of get used to it after a while.” Last season, Kamieniecki, unable to play through an injured

wrist, redshirted and missed the entire year. The Cardinals finished 5-25, the programs all-time lowest winning percentage. Kamieniecki has been an integral part of Ball State’s success

since returning to the floor this year. At 6-foot-8, he is the tallest player on the roster, and through 14 games leads the team in total rebounds, blocks and steals. Despite continuing to produce on the boards and on the defensive end, Kamieniecki has put time into improving his offensive game, resulting in a career-high 8.8 points per contest. His work-ethic hasn’t gone unnoticed by the coaching staff. “You watch him in practice, and he’s limping,” Whitford said. “Then all of a sudden the game comes and it’s like balls of fire … He’s a warrior.” As Kamieniecki concludes his final collegiate season, he doesn’t know what he wants to do after. He is working on finishing his master’s degree in business, but said he plans on returning home and taking time off before making a business decision. For now, he is focused on helping Ball State reclaim the Mid-American Conference championship and return to the NCAA tournament, a feat the program hasn’t achieved since 1999-2000. “We always talk about reaching [our maximum potential],” Kamieniecki said. “I don’t know how many wins that’s going to be; as long as we play our best, that’s what really matters.”

Freshman Moriah Monaco came off the bench for 20 minutes, but made the most of her minutes exploding for 19 points as Ball State tied its season-high in points in an 85-47 victory over Kent State Wednesday. “We just had great flow on offense and I had the ball in great positions from my teammates.” Monaco said. Monaco was one of three Cardinals in double figures in the win. She also had four rebounds, one assist and two steals. The Cardinals’ offense and defense began to compliment one other, allowing them to play fast and loose, scoring 16 points off of fast breaks. A 54.4 field goal percentage showed that the offense was clicking on all cylinders. Ball State also made 10 three-pointers. Junior Candyce Ussery missed just one shot in the game on her way to 16 points. “I felt like we all really clicked tonight and it was a good shooting night for everyone,” she said.

The men’s basketball team fell to Western Michigan 95-93 on Wednesday. Junior forward Bo Calhoun scored six points and had seven rebounds in the loss.

Sophomore point guard Zavier Turner led the Cardinals in scoring for the second straight game, finishing with 21 points on 8-of-13 from the field. Turner knocked down five three-pointers, with one coming with five seconds left in regulation and Ball State down five. Freshman Sean Sellers was fouled as Turner’s shot went in, and two-free throws later, Ball State had tied the game on a five-point possession. Neither side played much defense, with Western Michigan’s 48.5 field goal percentage edging Ball State’s 47.1 percent. Broncos’ guard David Brown fouled out in the sec-

State continued the hard play that has led it to four straight wins. One play that Sallee said was “pretty impressive” was while up 30, senior Shelbie Justice dove for a ball out of bounds and threw it to teammate Frannie Frazier for a big layup. “It shows that we aren’t looking at the scoreboard,” Sallee said. “We play with our whole heart no matter what.” The win improves Ball State to 8-7 on the season, the first time all year with a winning record. The Cardinals also remain undefeated in the Mid American Conference with a

New information stirs up old worries. Rest, so you’ll be ready to move quickly later. Cancer (June 21-July 22) Today is a 7. Postpone travel, expansion or launches. Focus on your practice.

Yik Yak on campus Debate organization discusses merits of anonymous app

CALEB CONLEY AND DANIELLE GRADY features@bsudailynews.com

One side argued that the social media app facilitated hate speech. The other said the app gave the silent a voice. But the point of the debate remained the same. “We need to engage issues that are important to us,” said Assistant Director of Debate Mike Bauer. “That is a mechanism for change.’ Two teams argued for and against the continued existence of the social media app, Yik Yak, on Jan. 14, at a debate hosted by the Ball State debate team. Students squeezed into any available space while Dakota Wappes, a senior communications studies major, and his team member, Cameron Sparks, a senior computer information systems major, debated on the “side of the government,” which supported the banning of Yik Yak. Keatton Middleton, a freshman business administration and pre law major, and Dashaen Jordan, a freshman political science major, returned fire while debating the “side of the opposition,” which supported the continued existence of the app. Wappes focused his team’s argument on the hateful and threatening comments often posted on Yik Yak, as well as his point that the app had no practical application. “When you don’t feel as if

you are connected to what you are saying, you are much more apt to push boundaries, to push limits or to harm others,” said Wappes. The opposition responded by labeling Yik Yak posts as free speech and emphasizing the possibility of positive Yik Yak interactions. “It’s a matter of free speech and everyone should have that,” said Middleton. When the debate ended, the audience was asked to raise their hand in favor of which side

they agreed with. The government team received a smattering of support, but hands reached high into the air throughout the room for the opposition. Bauer had asked for engagement and he received it. After the crowd vote, the debate judges ruled in favor of the government 2-1. Students also took to Yik Yak during and after the debate to voice their opinion. “Preach. Dude in the white shirt [Middleton] has got it right. If you don’t like it or want to see it, don’t have the app,” read one with 28 upvotes.

Sometimes, they posted without a stance. “Downloaded Yik Yak to look at the ridiculous comments people would be posting during this debate,” said one anonymous poster. The debaters appreciated the feedback. Sparks hopes that because of the debate, Yik Yak users will down vote hateful posts more often. “I think that it’s made people a little bit more aware of some of these posts. I think that’s a good thing too,” he said.
