RACHEL PODNAR CHIEF REPORTER rnpodnar@bsu.edu
A total of seven students seized the opportunity to offer opinions Wednesday regarding the search for a new university president. The students spoke to the Board of Trustees and school administrators during the one-hour meeting, sharing their opinions as a representation of the student body. Wayne Estopinal, leader of Ball State’s search committee and a board member, said they received good feedback despite the low numbers. “I know students are busy,” he said. “It would have been great to have a packed house, but I think the comments we got were very valuable.” Though a small group, the students who attended included in-state, out-of-state and minority students who were able to offer a variety of perspectives. Sophomore political science major Jason Pickell said as a fifth generation Ball State student, he enjoyed seeing the university grow during President Jo Ann Gora’s 10 years in office. “We need a president with similar goals to President Gora,” Pickell said. “Campus improvements, a new college and athletics.”
Some scholarships and tuition deals offer incentives, such as deductions if students graduate within three years.
MINORS
Students who pick up a minor will need to add required courses to their plans, which can clutter their schedules.

DEGREE MAPS
Some universities, including Ball State, use degree maps to clearly lay out what is necessary to accomplish fouryear graduation.

CHANGING MAJORS
SEE PAGE 5
Choosing a different area of study after a year or two can force students to stay in college longer to catch up on courses.
TRANSFERRING
Going to different universities can be a solution or a problem. Taking courses for less money can help students’ financial situations, but they need to make sure the credits will transfer.
UNAVAILABLE CLASSES
Ball State doesn’t offer every class each semester. This can leave students with a gap in when they can move forward in their required classes.
ADVISERS
Academics advisers can be a major resource to students trying to find the best path to graduating on time.

University could offer free courses due to legislation Students may take classes to improve graduate percents TYLER JURANOVICH STAFF REPORTER | tjjuranovich@bsu.edu A recent state bill could require state universities to offer free classes for some students in order to improve four-year graduation rates. Under House Bill 1348, Ball State would have to provide students a class without charge when they are unable to register for the class needed to graduate in four years. There are stipulations for the opportunity of a free class, however. The class in question must be offered at the same time as another class required under the degree plan, already full or not offered. Seats in all lecture and online classes must be unavailable before the course is considered
full. Students refusing to take online classes or classes at inconvenient times are ineligible for the free alternatives. The bill also requires universities to offer degree plans to incoming freshmen who have declared their majors. Degree plans map out an advised schedule of classes to accomplish graduation in four years. The new system of mapping will work in conjunction with Ball State’s current DegreeWorks program, said Marilyn Buck, Ball State associate provost. She said the new degree plans will make academic counseling more efficient and benefit students. “When I was an adviser, we did exactly this, even though it was not required,” Buck said. Ball State is currently working to set up and train faculty for the new system. The bill is a part of a larger state goal of increasing four-
FOUR-YEAR RATES House Bill 1348 and other pieces of legislation aim to improve Indiana’s four-year graduation rates: • Four-year graduation rate for full-time students at Ball State: 32 percent • Four-year graduation rate for full-time students at Purdue University: 39 percent • Four-year graduation rate for full-time students at Indiana University: 55 percent SOURCE: National Center for Education Statistics
year graduation rates. “Indiana’s economy needs college graduates,” the bill states. Only half of the students who enter college will finish, and only half of that group will do so in four years. Another purpose of the bill is to reduce the amount of money students spend on higher education. Students who don’t graduate in four years could waste up to $50,000 in tuition and lost wages per year, according to the bill.

GETTING SERVED
Different types of serves give options to players when beginning points POLASKI ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR | DAVID @DavidPolaski
A volleyball cut through the air, barely rotating as it tipped the top of the net and fell backward. Senior Larry Wrather frowned and shook his head, unhappy with the result. “One more,” he said quietly to his teammate next to him toward the end of Tuesday morning’s practice. He tried again. This time, his serve cleared the net. It wasn’t just Wrather who worked on his serves. Head coach Joel Walton had the entire
team practicing as a result of the poor serving he saw during the first two matches when Ball State committed 25 service errors. Wrather has one error so far, possibly because of his new serving style. “I just changed from a jump topspin to a float,” he said. “Right now, I’m working on placing the ball while getting good, solid hand contact, which allows it to have good movement.” His float serve is difficult for opponents to track because of its lack of movement. Without the spinning, the ball makes quick jumps in the air, making it hard for the opponent to determine where it will land. Wrather gave the volleyball a low toss and struck it with the palm of his hand, not bending his wrist — the classic strike for a float serve. “Depending on what air current it catches and how well it’s hit, that ball can start
THE TOSS
shifting and floating in any direction,” Walton said. “It can be harder because of the unpredictability.” Senior Graham McIlvaine attempted serves completely opposite to Wrather’s. Instead of the slow, erratic look of a float serve, McIlvaine used a spin serve. He tossed the ball several feet into the air, spinning it as it left his hand. Coming down, he leapt and struck the ball, emitting a loud crack as the ball quickly fired over the net, dipping downward rapidly. When McIlvaine hit the ball, he quickly bent his wrist, attempting to create a spin that causes confusion for the opposing team. McIlvaine’s tied for the title of most service errors with five, mostly because the dipping motion can send the ball into the net. “Sometimes, it’s easier if there’s a little spin on the ball for defenders because at least
they can get an idea of where the ball is going,” Walton said. “Graham was contacting behind and also through, meaning it was moving in a direction to- ONLINE ward the corner.” To view a video of a When performed correctly, reporter trying to return both serves can leave defend- serves from Ball State ers feeling helpless. Sophomore players, go to Marcin Niemczewski leads the bit.ly/1j8pZAj team in service aces with four, making up half of the service aces on the team. Walton said his team isn’t always trying to achieve aces with their serves, but sometimes move defenders out of position and force bad passes. “The main focus when returning one of those serves is to keep your balance and stay grounded,” Walton said. That’s easier said than done.
Ball State men’s volleyball head coach Joel Walton demonstrates different techniques to serve the ball.

Serves begin with a toss with different types of tosses for both serves. A low toss without any spin is typically used for float serves and are executed quickly. When executing a spin serve, the server will spin the ball and launch it several feet into the air before striking it.
FLOAT SERVE
SPIN SERVE
After tossing the ball without any spin, the server strikes the ball using the palm and pushes it forward. When executed correctly, the ball will float over the net and move erratically because there is no spin. This makes it difficult for opponents to track where the ball is heading.
After tossing the ball high and spinning it during the toss, the server hits the ball and bends their wrist over the top of the ball. The ball is sent flying over the net significantly faster than a float serve and dives toward the ground because of the spin, catching defenders off guard.
MEN’S BASKETBALL
Poor shooting performance helps extend losing streak Freshman Turner scores 10 points, gives up 6 turnovers DAVID K. JONES CHIEF REPORTER | @dkjones_BSU After taking steps forward, Ball State seemed to take a step backward Wednesday night. The Ball State men’s basketball team fell 51-71 on the road against Ohio. Many of its offensive possessions in the first half were spent trying to beat the 35-sec-
ond shot clock. The struggles continued in the second half as the Cardinals had trouble getting baskets to fall. Ohio (12-4, 2-1 Mid-American Conference) played stingy, lockdown man-to-man defense to start the second half as the Bobcats would pull away from the Cardinals at the Convocation Center. Ball State (3-11, 0-3 MAC) made onethird of its attempted field goals (15-of-46) and committed 21 turnovers. Senior forward Chris Bond paced the Cardinals with 14 points. Senior Majok Majok’s
finished with a season-low four points and 11 rebounds. Freshman guard Zavier Turner contributed 10 points for the Cardinals as he committed six turnovers as the team dropped its third straight game. Ball State shot 16.7 percent (3-for-18) from the threepoint distance and 75 percent (18-for-24) from the freethrow line as the team handed out eight assists. It was the largest margin of defeat since the Dec. 4 loss against Valparaiso, 50-69. The Cardinals experienced foul trouble as well with fresh-
man forward Franko House fouling out and three other players finishing with four fouls. Ball State had the rebounding advantage at 36-31 and earned the penalty early in both halves of the game. Ball State has played a string of games in which it showed improvement in the recent past, holding the lead at Kent State going into the half Saturday and nearly upsetting Akron before losing 68-72 on Jan. 8. Ohio struggled as well, shooting 46.3 percent (25-of54) from the field and making
68.2 percent (15-22) from the foul line. Ball State’s fouls and turnovers would take precedence as it was outscored 4430 in the second half. Maurice Ndour finished with a game-high 16 points and blocked two shots for the Bobcats. Leading scorer Nick Kellogg was held to 5 points on a poor shooting performance going 2-of-7 from the field. Ball State has a brief break before suiting up for its second home MAC game against the Miami Redhawks at 2 p.m. Saturday.

“Intelligence” tells the story of Gabriel Vaughn, an intelligence operative who is given a supercomputer microchip that connects him directly to the global information grid and gives him the ability to hack into any data center. Josh Holloway, who played on “Lost” as the rugged, yet charming Sawyer, takes the lead role in the series. I was a huge fan of his performance on “Lost,” so including this one on the list is a no-brainer. Holloway gets to beat up a lot of baddies while toying with the pinnacle of human technology. Many will see similarities between this show and “Chuck,” except there’s more butt kicking and less humor in “Intelligence.” And it works. “Intelligence” premiered Jan. 7, but it got changed to Monday nights.
It’s about time we had pirates on television. Seriously, it’s 2014. “Pirates of the Caribbean” is one of the highest grossing film franchises. How did tales of debauchery and swashbuckling on the open seas not overtake every network in the past decade? Oh, that’s right. Pretty boy vampires. But “Black Sails” is here to rectify that problem. The pirate drama will follow the exploits of feared pirate Captain J. Flint, played by Toby Stephens, and Long John Silver, played by Luke Arnold, 20 years before Silver befriended the young Jim Hawkins in Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic novel “Treasure Island.”
The fourth season of “The Walking Dead” is averaging a whopping 13 million viewers per episode, and it is looking to gain even more steam for February’s midseason premiere. For those of you that don’t know and have been living under a rock, the drama is set in a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by zombies. Some of you might not find any reason to like “The Walking Dead,” but you won’t find any excuse to dislike it either.
“Hannibal” serves as a modern reimagining and prequel to Thomas Harris’ critically acclaimed novel “Red Dragon.” The show explains the tumultuous relationship between FBI profiler Will Graham, played by Hugh Dancy, and cannibalistic psychiatrist Hannibal Lecter, played by Mads Mikkelsen. The first season received critical acclaim for its cinematography and the acting abilities of the lead actors, particularly Dancy. He tops the actors who played role before him, Edward Norton in “Red Dragon” and William Petersen in “Manhunter,” by portraying Graham in an eccentric, mentally unstable fashion that is true to the original novel. The second season will premiere Feb. 28.
“Bates Motel” Premieres in March 3 A&E
“The Spoils of Babylon” at 10 p.m. Thursdays IFC
“Bates Motel” is another series that serves as a modern reimagining and prequel to a classic horror series. The show explains how Norman Bates, the antagonist of Alfred Hitchcock’s 1960 film “Psycho,” transformed into an obsessive, homicidal maniac. What really gives me the creeps is the relationship between Norman, played by Freddie Highmore, and his mother, Norma Bates, played by Vera Farmiga. For the sake of not spoiling the show, I’ll just say this: it’s downright disturbing. I wouldn’t expect anything less. The second season will premiere March 3 on A&E.
“The Spoils of Babylon” is a new comedy spoof that tells an unbelievable, century-long story of a family who made a fortune in the oil business. The show consists of all-star actors Tobey Maguire, Will Ferrell, Kristen Wiig, Jessica Alba and many others. Will Ferrell’s inclusion all but guarantees a few knee-slappers, so the rest of cast has their comedic work cut out for them. “The Spoils of Babylon” premiered Thursday evening on IFC.

SGA plans election code changes
Executives, Senate propose revisions to election statutes |
RACHEL PODNAR CHIEF REPORTER rnpodnar@bsu.edu
The Student Government Association presented changes to the elections code that aim to combat some of the problems that occurred in last year’s election season. The SGA Senate will hear the proposed changes at Wednesday’s meeting and must approve or deny them before
the nomination convention Feb. 10. If the elections code changes pass, it will affect many areas of the elections. The tactic of using iPads to solicit votes from students might no longer be allowed, along with placing posters on the outside of campus buildings. In past years, the nomination convention, where slates announce their intent to run, was a public event. A proposed change would make the convention private and require the elections board to release information to the public up to
24 hours afterward in order to verify qualifications. The campaign season may be shortened from three weeks to two weeks, which could lower the amount of money a slate can spend on campaigning from $3,000 to $2,000. In the past, a loophole allowed freshmen to run if they entered college with credits from high school, but it may be changed so executive slate candidates must have completed at least three semesters of college to run. Students running for executive slate positions were not held responsible to the
Student Code of Conduct in past years, but the proposal asks that they be accountable for upholding it during campaigning. Jennifer Jones-Hall, SGA adviser, advocated for changes to the elections code and said the proposals look great. “[Current SGA President Chloe Anagnos] and myself ... looked at that document and made a lot of changes,” JonesHall said. “I hope they have an impact.” The changes, however, do not set standard limits for elections fines, which became an issue in the last election
when the slate Cardinal United was fined within $1 of being disqualified from the campaign for a charge that was later dropped. Jones-Hall said she is an advocate for fine regulations, but does not think it will be a problem this year. She said she hopes to set up a meeting to discuss the elections with Alex Sventeckis, who was nominated and approved Wednesday to be the elections board chairman for 2014. A former presidential nominee from the Fusion slate, Sventeckis will run the election — from upholding voting

Seven students attended an open meeting Wednesday to speak to the Board of Trustees about the search for a new Ball State president. Wayne Estopinal, leader of the search committee, said the feedback from the small group was helpful.
FORUM: Involvement contrasts with previous search | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Liu Thomas, a senior hospitality and food management major, said international students should be more integrated with the general student body. “I’m friends with a lot of international students and they put all the international students in one residence hall,”
Thomas said. “They should be spread out in all different kinds of residence halls.” Charlie Clausen, a graduate student and assistant hall director of Painter and Whitcraft halls, said the university needs to improve academic advising. “I have heard a lot of students say it’s difficult to schedule an appointment and their faculty
advisers have higher priorities [that aren’t students],” Clausen said. “A lot of students feel like they are on their own for graduation.” Estopinal said comments from the student forum and additional forums will be compiled into a document that presidential search firm Baker and Associates will distribute to potential candidates.
Police say student formulated attack Shooter informed certain classmates before opening fire
| THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ROSWELL, N.M. — The 12-year-old boy who opened fire in a U.S. school gym warned some students away just before the attack, police said Wednesday. New Mexico State Police Chief Pete Kassetas said the attack at Berrendo Middle School in Roswell was planned in advance. But he said it appeared the boy’s victims — an 11-year-old boy and a 13-year-old girl — were chosen randomly. During a press briefing, Kassetas declined to speculate on
a motive or say when charges would be filed. But he said the boy got the shotgun from his family’s home and had three rounds of ammunition. Officials said Wednesday the 11-year-old boy who was shot in the face and neck remains in critical condition. The 13-year-old girl is in satisfactory condition with injuries to the right shoulder. Kassetas said investigators worked through the night executing search warrants at the school, and determined from those searches that the attack was planned. They examined the boy’s locker and the duffel bag the seventh-grader used to transport the 20-gauge pump shotgun to school. Kassetas said the handle of the gun was sawed off so it had “more of a pistol grip.”
The police chief added authorities had some indication that the boy verbally warned “select students” about the attack as he arrived at the school. He didn’t elaborate. When the shots first rang out in the school’s gym, some students started laughing, assuming it was just another drill. It wasn’t. But those emergency exercises that students and teachers have undergone regularly for the past two years were being credited Wednesday with the quick disarming of the suspect. The whole thing was over in 10 seconds, police say, thanks to John Masterson, a social studies teacher who stepped in and talked the boy into dropping his weapon. Masterson then held the boy until authorities arrived.
In the 2004 search, the only student involved was the student member on the Board of Trustees. The lack of student involvement had caused a group of 15 students to march from the Scramble Light to the Administration Building shouting, “One more student” to protest the lack of representation in the search.
structure to running debates and taking student concerns. Sventeckis said he hopes to make this a stronger, more productive election season by building on his experience running on a slate last year. “We saw some issues I want to address, including cracking down on campaign strategies [and] making sure everyone follows elections code,” he said. Specifically, he said he was glad to see electronic voting via iPads addressed and looks forward to upholding the honesty and integrity of elections code.
HEALTH CENTER FILLS TWO POSITIONS
Administrators have hired two people at the Amelia T. Wood Health Center, and they are still looking for a third. On Feb. 24, Amy Fong will begin work as a physician, filling a position that opened after Ball State received approval for a new hire to balance the ratio of students to medical directors, staff physicians and nurse practitioners. Even with the new employee, Ball State’s ratio of students to employees is still higher than Purdue University, Indiana University and Notre Dame, according to university websites. Deidre Dorman, previously the interim medical director at the Health Center, began working as medical director Dec. 1. Dorman filled in after Kent Bullis, former director, left Ball State in September. She had previously worked as a physician at the Health Center, and her prior job is available. No one has interviewed for the posted position. IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital, which hires all physicians at the Health Center, interviewed three to four people for the physician position before Fong was chosen. No one other than Dorman was interviewed for the medical director position. “We talked to Deidre Dorman, and she was the best choice,” said Eric Tharp, administrative director of physicians at the hospital. “She was interested, she really wanted to take it on, and we were happy to have her take that roll.” They are about six weeks into the process of finding a replacement, he said. –

Competitive MAC game ends in defeat Three-point shooting impedes prospects for late comeback ANDI TOLENTINO STAFF REPORTER | altolentino@bsu.edu It was a focus leading up to Wednesday’s game. As the Ball State women’s basketball team prepared to host Bowling Green, it knew that speed would be key in the game. The Falcons were 13-2 coming into the game, and Ball State head coach Brady Sallee wanted to play at his own pace. “Up on the whiteboard before the game was the word ‘tempo,’� Sallee said. “We knew the tempo we wanted to play at, and I thought it was definitely a very important part of the game.� Late in the first half, Ball State began to use a fullcourt press look on defense. Sallee knew the Falcons’ most dangerous player is its point guard, Jillian Halfhill. Halfhill finished the game with three personal fouls. Sallee wanted to use the tough defense to get her out of the game and control the tempo. Ball State had won back-toback Mid-American Conference games before Wednesday night. A win against the conference-leading Falcons would have been pivotal.
The 61-72 loss still served as a learning experience. After junior guard Brittany Carter converted an and-one with about five minutes left in the game, and Ball State trailed by just four points. She was forced into running the point guard position after senior starter Brandy Woody got into foul trouble. Carter said her own mistakes down the stretch hurt the team’s chances at winning. “I know I had some key breakdowns at the end of the game that could’ve been those deciding plays,� she said. “Just those key breakdowns kind of hurt us going down the stretch.� When it came to full-court pressure Sallee wanted to put the “pedal to the metal.� “We were pulling out all of the stops tonight,� he said. “We had to make them shoot quick, and get possessions. It’s been effective for us in the right spot. That tempo is what’s important.� Carter, too, was all in for the full-court pressure. “I love pressing,� she said. “I love our blitz defense, just getting out and flying around really with no rules.� Bowling Green played aggressive defense, as well. Sallee said the Falcons play aggressive defense around the perimeter. Ball State shot just 1-of-14 from three-point range on the night.
