How the day unfolded Andrew Boldt, a senior electrical and computer engineering major at Purdue University, was shot and killed when a gunman entered the classroom where he was working as a teaching assistant. Cody Cousins, an electrical and computer engineering major from Warsaw, Ind., was arrested in connection to the shooting. No other injuries were reported in connection with the incident.

tatton Geary was in a classroom near Tuesday’s fatal shooting on the Purdue University campus. The junior was prepared to fight if he had to — if the gunman entered his classroom. “My thought was ... if he came in, maybe I could grab him,” Geary said. “In my head I said, ‘I’m not going to die today.’” He was in the Mechanical Engineering Building when sirens sounded. Students checking their phones got word from emergency texts of a shooting in the building next door, the Electrical Engineering Building. His professor turned off the lights and everyone moved away from the windows and doors. Geary, instead, placed himself right next to one of the entrances. “I’m at Purdue University,” he recalled thinking. “I’ve given some stuff up to get here; I’m not going to die today.”

Rep. Speaker Bosma says about change | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
INDIANAPOLIS — Republican House Speaker Brian Bosma on Tuesday sent a proposed constitutional ban on gay marriage to a new committee amid concerns that it lacked support on another panel. Bosma announced that the proposed ban and a companion bill will be considered by the House Elections and Apportionment Committee. The move came after the measure stalled in the House Judiciary Committee and Bosma threatened to substitute members of that panel to advance the measure.

our hearts go out to the purdue community.
“It was made at the request of the overwhelming majority of the House Republican Caucus and the request of the committee chairman in judiciary,” Bosma said. “He didn’t feel the bill would come to the floor. He knew that was the goal of an overwhelming number of the House members and thought it was best if it went to elections.” He added that it’s “common procedure” to move bills between committees. The change in committees comes one week after Muncie City Council unanimously voted to oppose the referendum. 1. CLOUDY Council member Doug Marshall of District 1 encouraged

Bosma had promised publicly to let the ban run a normal course in the Legislature but has recently taken a more forceful role in advancing it amid concerns it would die in committee. The House elections panel includes more conservative lawmakers than the judiciary panel, including at least one Democrat who has said he would support a ban. The Judiciary Committee held an hours-long hearing on the measure last week but delayed a vote. It had been expected to vote on the measure this week, but Bosma conceded last week that any decision to advance the proposed ban to the full House would be a narrow one. 5. SUNNY

A new contact lens may help people with diabetes monitor their glucose levels. The lens, which Google announced it is creating, uses tears, a series of sensors and subtle lights to inform users of their glucose, eliminating the need to prick fingers. Here’s a look at some components of the lens, as well as how it works.

Signals Google is working to develop tiny LED lights that will go off in the user’s field of vision when glucose levels became too high or low. 14 - SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS
Chip and sensor The contact lens will use wireless chips and sensors to check glucose levels in the tears of the person wearing them. The chip and sensors are placed between two layers of the plastic lens. The lens would check the levels once per second. Antenna The antenna in the lens would be as thin as human hair, and from afar, would be observed as something like glitter. Information collected in the antenna will transmit from the eye to a small, possibly handheld devise. Google has worked to develop tiny electronics that will require much less power.
THE COMPANY
The lens is made from a material that is similar to thin, flexible plastic. The film used to create the lens allows oxygen to saturate it.
Google X is a division of Google that exists to create and experiment with new technology. The company decided to announce the product early in hopes of having other companies partner with them.

Veggie, fruit blends make for useful diet supplement but bad meal plan
ealth nuts and celebrities alike have been buzzing about the cleanse trend called juicing, a diet which consists of taking a mixture of fresh fruits and vegetables and extracting the juices as a liquid meal. Though juicing can give a balanced diet a boost, consuming juice alone for even a few days can deprive the body of nourishment. “If a person only relied on juicers for their health, they will be in trouble,” said Carol Friesen, an associate professor of family and consumer sciences. “For good health, you need a host of nutrients, including essential fatty acids, proteins, fiber, water and fat soluble vitamins and minerals.” Friesen said juicing tends to leave out pulp and fiber of fruits and vegetables, both of which have significant benefits. “A suggestion for juicers is to retain the pulp and reintroduce it back into the meals, such as preparing muffins, adding it to thicken gravies or as part of a salad dressing,” said Nicolle Fernandes, an assistant professor of nutrition.
Those who fast from regular food and only drink juice may end up lacking fiber and having insufficient protein and fat, she added. With the average juicer only consuming 1,200 calories a day, Fernandes said the body begins to conserve energy for vital functions only, such as the pumping of the heart and brain activity. Ultimately, the efficiency of skeletal and muscle function will be reduced to conserve energy, leading to less productive exercise. Friesen said after a few days of consuming juice only, one’s immune system will begin to be compromised, hair will weaken and other health issues are possible. “Your body muscles, including your heart muscle, will break down in order to make the essential proteins your body needs to stay alive,” she said. Though both professors agree juicing alone can’t provide the nutrients needed in place of eating the solid foods, these fruit and vegetable blends can be a healthy addition to a diet. A person could get multiple serv-
ings of produce in one drink. For students who fill their fridge with produce but usually aren’t able to eat it all before it goes bad, juicing could be a helpful resource. Fernandes said many students are nutritionally deprived, and juicing could give a much needed boost, as students are typically low on protein, calcium, iron, zinc and vitamin C. According to Harvard School of Public Health, the latest dietary guidelines say people should eat 2.5 to 6.5 cups of fruits and veggies a day depending on their calories. For example, someone who normally consumes 2,000 calories a day should have 2 cups of fruit and 2.5 cups of vegetables. Some juices use a blend of certain fruits and vegetables to benefit a specific body function. Some juicing recipes claim to help lower cholesterol, improve metabolism, strengthen the immune system, improve focus and help several other aspects of health. “Juicing is a fun alternative to the regular fruit and veggies,” Fernandes said.

SGA sponsors study abroad scholarship $500 grant launched to help make possible international learning Rachel Podnar | chief reporter | rmpodnar@bsu.edu The Student Government Association executive board debuted a new scholarship for summer study abroad to keep in line with its platform points. The $500 scholarship’s application went live last week, said SGA Vice President Alyssa France. France said changing her major sophomore year derailed her desire to study
abroad, but she hopes the scholarship will help make the opportunity possible for another Ball State student. “We’re looking for someone who knows what they want to do with their future and realizes how this experience can factor in,” she said. “[Someone who will] make the most of study abroad and make most of their future.” The scholarship is geared toward summer study abroad because the funds will come out of SGA’s executive budget and the budget must be finished during the summer. Applicants must have a 2.7 cumulative GPA. John Jensen, director of the Rinker Center for Interna-

JOHN JENSON, director of the Rinker Center for International Programs tional Programs, said SGA is the only student organization to have its own study abroad scholarship. “I think the scholarship speaks to SGA’s commitment to international opportunities and their appreciation to how those benefit students,” Jensen said. Former SGA President Malachi Randolph provided the idea for this platform point while he was on the
executive board. “Last spring when we were all together, we talked about our different experiences at Ball State and what we got out of them,” France said. “Malachi had [a] study abroad experience and it was really valuable to him.” France said she and the SGA chief of staff will choose the top three from the applications and the executive board will then choose the recipi-

A DISTURBING TREND PURDUE:
| Continued from PAGE 1
Although Geary didn’t know it at the time, one person died from the shooting, and police arrested Cody Cousins in connection to the shooting after he left the Electrical Engineering Building. But in the tense moments during which the nation’s attention focused on Purdue and the shooting next door, Geary and his classmates braced for the worst — an active shooter who might come for them next. So Geary hid by the door, figuring that he might be hurt if he jumped the shooter, but he could at least have a chance to stop an attack. “My hands were sweating,” he said. He thought of his parents, pulled out his phone and let them know he was OK. “I said, ‘I love you,’ just in case,” he said. They were calm. In the room, meanwhile, other students listened to police scanners on their laptops. Finally, the sitting and waiting came to an end. Authorities determined that the threat was over, and students in Geary’s building were allowed to leave. It took a while, but around 4 p.m., the university decided to cancel all further classes for Tuesday and today. The student who died was Andrew Boldt, a senior electrical engineering major from Wisconsin, according to his LinkedIn account. Students at Purdue planned a candlelight vigil in his honor. “I think this vigil will be the begin-
ning of a healing process, but I think it will take a while,” Purdue Provost Tim Sands said at a press conference. Abby Schneller, a sophomore women’s, gender and sexual studies major at Purdue, sang with the Purduettes at the vigil. “There were candles as far out as I could see,” she said. The group sang “Songbird” and “My Life is in Your Hands.” Everyone standing together was a unifying experience after a scary day, Schneller said. “It was just kind of surreal and weird that this happened,” she said. “You just never think this is going to happen on your campus.”
AN EVIDENT PROGRESSION
Purdue’s emergency follows a Ball State gun scare in November at the Student Recreation and Wellness Center. Though someone heard a male voice yell “gun,” police found neither a weapon nor a suspect. Recently in New Mexico, a 12-year-old opened fire on his classmates and injured two Jan. 14, according to The Associated Press. And Friday in Philadelphia, a 17-year-old shot two of his high school peers when they were in the gym. Rich Hogue, Indiana school safety liaison with the Indiana State Police, said the publicity and notoriety in shooting incidents tend to breed more incidents. For example, he noted how Adam Lanza went on a shooting rampage at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut in December 2012. “[Lanza] was very well organized and
had a flow chart of school shootings,” Hogue said. “So he had followed the things that had happened and he very methodically had planned on, I believe, breaking the record. This is the tragedy.” Hogue helps school officials and police across the state to provide threat assessment training and an active shooter program for K-12 public and private schools. He focuses on prevention, rather than reactionary measures. “Almost always, when we look back and start picking, examining what actually happened ... somebody knew,” he said. “Whether it’s another student, whether it’s the parents, whether it’s law enforcement.” Their approach uses threat assessment teams made up of different people in the school community who can focus on communicating with people who might be having problems. He also teaches the “run, hide, fight” method for an active shooter situation. “Teachers and law enforcement are willing to die for their students, but what we are trying to convey to them in our sessions is we want them to live for their students,” Hogue said. “We want to provide them with options.” For Geary, his first instinct was fight. Although he thought it was a good idea for classes to be canceled Tuesday and today, he said he would be return to campus. He will just be more cautious now. “I’m going to consider where I’m sitting [and] avoid doors,” he said. Sam Hoyt and Christopher Stephens contributed to this story.

PHOENIX — An Arizona State University fraternity’s operations have been suspended following accusations that the local Tau Kappa Epsilon chapter hosted a distasteful party in commemoration of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, replete with racist stereotypes and offensive costumes. University officials planned to meet Tuesday with fraternity representatives regarding the off-campus party over the weekend. “We regard the behavior exhibited as completely outrageous, extraordinarily offensive and wholly unacceptable,” said James Rund, ASU’s senior vice president for Educational Outreach and Student Services. “This kind of behavior is not tolerated by the university, and we intend to take swift and immediate action. “We just don’t have room at the university to tolerate that kind of conduct.” Alex Baker, a spokesman for the national fraternity organization, said the group does not condone racist or discriminatory behavior. “It is with embarrassment and regret when a few individuals within our organization make decisions that do not align with the values and principles of Tau Kappa Epsilon,” Baker said in a statement. Pictures from the party made their way onto social media websites, depicting guests dressed in basketball jerseys, flashing gang signs and holding watermelon-shaped cups. “How can you not realize how stupid this is?” said Cuyler Meade, 25, a junior. “It’s

Jarrett Maupin, an Arizona civil rights activist, said the party antics were outrageous and offensive. He is calling on the school to expel all students involved and permanently ban the fraternity from affiliation with the university. “It was just a raucous, racist rally, and they used Dr. King’s holiday as a mask for racial villainy and harassment,” Maupin said Tuesday. Activists at an afternoon news conference also called on the university to require that all staff and students take diversity classes. The Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity was already on probation for an off-campus fight in 2012, according to Arizona State. The university did not provide additional details of the incident or disciplinary action. Founded in 1899 at Illinois Wesleyan University in Bloomington, Ill., the fraternity has about 257,000 members at 291 chapters and colonies across the United States and Canada, according to its website. In 2012, the University of Arizona stripped its local chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon of recognition after an investigation showed multiple instances of dangerous hazing.
HJR-3: Lawmakers’ votes change to oppose ban, amid legislation battle | Continued from PAGE 1 The delayed vote is another indicator of how much the ground has shifted on the issue since 2011, when the amendment passed the Legislature with strong bipartisan support. The measure must pass the Legislature again this year in order to appear on the November ballot. Opponents of the measure, including top businesses and universities, have said it’s unnecessary because state law
already bans same-sex marriage. They contend amending that ban into the constitution would paint Indiana as an unfriendly place and deter businesses and top workers from locating in the state. The high-profile battle has caused some lawmakers to say they will change their votes and oppose the ban. Republican Gov. Mike Pence asked lawmakers to vote on the issue this year during his State of the State address last week.

The Purdue University community gathers at the candlelight vigil in memory of Andrew Boldt. The senior electrical engineering major died Tuesday afternoon after being shot in the Electrical Engineering Building.
The resolution will stop there and someone would have to resurrect it. It would have to introduced at the next session, and then it would be voted upon to pursue it more. At the session after that, it would be voted on. The new resolution would still need to pass both the House and the Senate.

Young core provides foundation Veterans, freshmen pair to form bonds, create chemistry Dakota Crawford Sports editor | @DakotaCrawford_ It’s all about progress for head coach Joanna Saleem. Final scores have been underwhelming through three meets this season, but the Ball State gymnastics team is just getting started. “Now that we’ve built some confidence and learned to compete as a group ... we just have to make the transition from the gym to the competition floor,� Saleem said. One of the most notable adjustments has been the adaptation of a big sister, little sister program. The team’s roster features 15 underclassmen to just eight upperclassmen. Saleem said she hopes to draw leadership out of the team’s veterans to keep the young competitors on track. “The upperclassmen are a phenomenal group of young women,� she said. Some serve as vocal leaders, while others bring a qui-
et confidence to the floor. Senior Leah Wilson competes on one event, and she does it consistently. Wilson tallied scores of 9.400 and 9.550 on the balance beam in the team’s last two meets. Junior Brooklyn Schumacher serves as one of the team’s vocal leaders. Though she has fought through an injury early this season, she continues to be a supportive voice for teammates. “We have those intense young women, but we also have the quiet ones that come in and just do their job,� Saleem said. For Saleem, getting the young competitors to embrace the competitive attitude of the veterans is a key. The big sister will work toward a team with “no sloppy turns, no walking away and no heads down,� Saleem said. She wants quality, not quantity. Though a bulk of vocal leadership comes from the team’s upperclassmen, young athletes are producing at a high level. In the team’s win over Iowa, four freshmen competed in Ball State’s lineup.

tors will provide a confidence boost for her team. “We were a little inconsistent,� Saleem said. “We had to get some events similar to what we had [against Iowa] under our belts.� Day by day, as she focuses on the little things, Saleem said she
hopes to build something big. “It’s my program, but its theirs, too,� she said. “You’re going to have the strength of the seniors in two or three seasons saying, ‘No, we can’t accept that’ or ‘That turn isn’t good enough.’ It’s that internal driving force.�
ball state hires former coach to guide linemen Ball State announced Tuesday it will hire John Strollo to fill his former position with the team. Strollo was the Cardinals’ offensive line coach in 2011. After Nick Tabacca’s departure to join the coaching staff at Wake Forest, Ball State opted to bring back the familiar sideline presence. “John is an outstanding person and a tremendous offensive line coach,� said Ball State head coach Pete Lembo in a media release. “We are very fortunate to have him back. ... A significant part of our offense, both philosophically and technically, has been painted by John’s brush since 2008.� Strollo served as tight ends coach at Penn State for the 2012 and 2013 seasons. This was just a short period in his 34-year coaching career that included stops at Cornell and Northeastern. Under Strollo in 2011, Ball State ranked seventh in the Mid-American Conference in rushing yards with 138.4 yards per game. It also gave up 11 sacks that season, second-best in the conference and 12th in the country. Quarterback Keith Wenning passed for 2,786 yards in 2011, while running back Jahwan Edwards tacked on 786 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns. Strollo coached offensive line under Lembo at Elon University in 2009 and 2010.
