LOCKER ROOM CLOSES AFTER DECLINE IN CUSTOMERS
Bar manager cites lack of local support, increase in competition ARIC CHOKEY AND ROSE SKELLY | news@bsudailynews.com Some Village business owners see the recent closing of the Locker Room as an indication of a lack of support for local businesses. The business closed its doors New Year’s Day after about 10 years of being in business. “[There’s] just not enough
business,” said manager Gary Burdine. “Just the Village, for whatever reason, can’t seem to support this many bars.” Burdine said the Brothers Bar and Grill opening in October helped in the decision to close the bar, but that he had noticed a decline in customers even before then. “It’s been a long-time fixture of the Village, and I’m honestly ashamed that the student body didn’t support such a predominate fixture on campus,” said Chris Ellison, owner of Cleo’s and the Silo. “It’s pretty dis-
couraging, actually, as a bar owner and business owner of this town.” A Locker Room employee posted on Facebook that the staff was notified on Dec. 26, less than a week before the doors were set to close. “Even if you took all of the people that were in Brothers and spread them out among the bars that were here before, it’s just not enough people that are out and about,” Burdine said. “I mean, I don’t think Brothers helped anything, but they weren’t what ended us.”
Since the Brothers franchise opened in October, Ellison said he has also noticed a loss of business across the board. “It’s kind of that one get-all package, and I even had people compare them as the Wal-Mart of bars,” he said. “Wal-Mart has everything you can possibly think of and puts the smaller companies out of business.” For now, Ellison said the only way he will close Cleo’s is if someone offers to buy it.

Local businesses take hard hits to their revenue when students leave for Winter Break, some losing as much as two-thirds of their income. Art Mart owner Karen Fisher said her business loses a sizable number of customers. “Our business goes down. It becomes very slow when students aren’t in session,” Fisher said. “I don’t think it’s half, but it’s a nice chunk.” Pita Pit owner Randy Martin said his business loses around 35 percent of its revenue. While many of his customers are yearround residents, they don’t make up for the loss of business. “We get a lot of business people, and students make up a good portion of our business,” Martin said. “But when they leave, you can’t replace 10,000 students.” Martin and Ultra Image Tanning owner Rebecca Reece said they prepare for the break by of-

fering promotions to encourage customers to return. “We have promotions during the first part of December that we offer,” Reece said. “The students will take advantage of [them] because their sessions will be here when they get back.” Both Reece and Fisher said they prepare for the decrease in revenue by setting aside money for the slow periods throughout the year. Fisher said she tries to prepay as many bills as possible. “We get way far ahead, if we can, on our bills so that when it does slow way down, I don’t have to worry about that,” Fisher said. Jimmy John’s manager Steve Arnold said his restaurant loses around two-thirds of its income when students head home. While some businesses must cut employees to respond to the decrease in business, others, which typically employ mostly students, do not need to. When students leave for break, so do the now-unneeded student employees. Arnold said this system works well for Jimmy John’s. “Most of our employees are students, so it kind of works out pretty well because we have about 85 people working here, CONTACT US

U.S. ISSUES NEW SANCTIONS AFTER SONY CYBERATTACK
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Senate torture report released earlier this month describes how the CIA’s harsh interrogation program sought to make detainees passive and powerless to resist, using techniques from sleep deprivation to stress positions to waterboarding to induce a state that psychologists call “learned helplessness.” ‘’Compliant” was the interrogators’ description of Zubaydah. In an interview with The Associated Press, Alberto Gonzales, the former attorney general who was White House counsel when harsh CIA interrogations were approved, said it was not the
HONOLULU (AP) — The United States said its new round of sanctions against North Korea is just the opening salvo in its response to an unprecedented cyberattack on Sony. Even the latest sanctions, handed down by President Barack Obama in an executive order, may not sting quite as badly as U.S. would have hoped. After all, North Korea is already under a strict sanctions regime imposed by the U.S. over the North’s nuclear program. The new round of sanctions unveiled Friday hit three organizations closely tied to the North’s defense apparatus, plus 10 individuals who work for those groups or for North Korea’s government directly. Any assets they have in the U.S. will be frozen, and they’ll be barred from using the U.S. financial system. But all three groups were already on the U.S. sanctions list, and officials couldn’t say whether any of the 10 individuals even have assets in the U.S. to freeze.

2. STATE LOOKS TO END TIME LIMIT FOR RAPE CHARGES INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Moves are
afoot to end the five-year statute of limitations on bringing rape charges in Indiana. Two state lawmakers, Republican Sen. Michael Crider and Democratic Rep. Christina Hale are pushing legislation that would allow rape charges to be filed no matter how much time has gone by, the Indianapolis Star reports. The bill has been dubbed “Jenny’s
White House’s responsibility to manage the program. Gonzales was the only former senior Bush administration official who agreed to speak on the record about the matter. Once executive branch lawyers declared it legal for the CIA to use harsh methods on al-Qaida prisoners in secret facilities, Gonzales said, it was up to the spy agency to oversee the mechanics, punish abuses, and keep policy-makers informed. So Bush officials can’t be blamed if CIA officers did things that were not authorized, or misinformed White House officials, as the report alleges, he said.
Law” after Jenny Wendt Ewing. The Star reports she was a victim of a man who tried to turn himself in 2013, but because the incident occurred in 2005, he was set free. The versions of the bill from Crider, a Greenfield Republican, and Hale, an Indianapolis Democrat, also would set tougher sentences, with some variations in how each would go about it.
WASHINGTON (AP) - In announcing that the U.S. and Cuba would resume diplomatic relations for the first time since 1961, President Barack Obama said he still has concerns about human rights, democracy and freedom of expression on the island. President Raul Castro said he still wants an end to the trade embargo that has choked off commerce to the island and has kept generations of Americans from being able to visit. Last year, Cuba began allowing its citizens to travel abroad without first
getting permission from the government. Many now have access to consumer goods like smartphones and flat screen TVs from overseas. Not only is that likely to expand, but remittances from abroad could surge, helping people to start more businesses and repair crumbling homes. In addition to increased trade, there likely will be even greater cooperation on shared interests such as counter-narcotics, said Peter Kornbluh, a fellow at the National Security Archive in Washington.
5. MCDONALD’S WORKS TO RETAIN LOST BUSINESS NEW YORK (AP) — McDonald’s wants to bring back that loving feeling. As the world’s biggest hamburger chain fights to hold onto customers, the company on Friday unveiled a new marketing strategy and ads it says will emphasize the “love” in its long-running “I’m Lovin’ It” slogan. As part of the push, McDonald’s released
TV ads it says will begin airing this week, including an animated video where the Joker and the Batman, a mail man and a dog, a blue donkey and red elephant and Smurfs and Gargamel show affection to each other and share McDonald’s products. The upbeat spot ends with the words “Choose Lovin’,” encompassed by a ring of hearts.

University, Muncie use break for upkeep City replaces signs, university workers clean, repair buildings
|
ALAN HOVORKA CHIEF REPORTER afhovorka@bsu.edu
While campus lacks the bustle from students going to class, Ball State stays noisy as university workers do repairs they can’t accomplish while classes are in. During Winter Break, Ball State and the city’s Department of Public Works don’t stop plowing, clearing sidewalks or keeping up with maintenance.
“[Winter Break] is our opportunity to get in and do some deep cleaning and fix some floors in buildings,” said Kevin Kenyon, associate vice president of facilities, planning and management. “The shops with the trade’s guys are working on projects usually. You can shut things down and make some noise.” Deep cleaning refers to work that makes a lot of noise and would normally disrupt campus activities. For Muncie’s Department of Public Works, the biggest thing they are able to do with the absence of students is replace stolen street signs, said Duke Campbell, superintendent of the Muncie Depart-
ment of Public Works. “Some of [the] students like to steal signs. When you’re not in session, we don’t have to worry about that too much,” Campbell said. “It’s a waste of tax-payer money, and it takes a while to do it. I know they don’t realize what they are causing, but it’s a big deal if someone steals a stop sign and then goes through and causes a wreck.” In terms of money allotment for these operations, the city and school don’t budget for this time of year specifically. The money for this work is included in their regular operating budgets. Even though some of the work being done may be
« Some of [the] students like to steal signs. When
you’re not in session, we don’t have to worry about that too much. It’s a waste of tax-payer money, and it takes a while to do it. I know they don’t realize what they are causing, but it’s a big deal if someone steals a stop sign and then goes through and causes a wreck.» DUKE CAMPBELL, Muncie Department of Public Works superintendent noisier, Ball State workers are able to cut back on overtime, especially when it comes to plowing snow, Kenyon said. However, around Muncie, the workload isn’t different with absence of students, but the job is easier, Campbell said. Not working overtime isn’t an option, nor is taking days off. Campbell’s department spent $100,000 on overtime last winter. “We can’t afford to do what Ball State does,” he said. “During the year, it’s a little bit tougher to plow because of all the parking on the streets
in the campus area.” Since there are staff still on campus, grounds crews do not have to work all-nighters to make sure the sidewalks and buildings are clear. The only time there are few people on campus is during the holidays, he said. There are 300 people in Kenyon’s department, and they are all eligible to work during Winter Break. However, they do have to ensure that the buildings that are open are cleared in a timely manner in accordance to laws and regulations. The
only buildings that are closed are the residence halls, Kenyon said. “There are regulations to do snow removal; we are legally required to be prudent and maintain safe conditions on campus,” Kenyon said. “You can’t just do nothing.” In comparison to the more active places on campus during break, such as the administrative and maintenance buildings, residence halls may appear less clear after a fresh snow, but still accessible in case of an emergency. This is to save the university money by not having to pay for overtime, Kenyon said. The only areas that might accumulate snow are the commuter lots since there aren’t many commuters during break, he said. “[Commuter and residence halls] might be as clear [as open buildings], but not [cleared] as quickly,” Kenyon said. “I think everything gets done pretty regularly, though.”

Despite the absence of students during Winter Break, some employees, like custodian Gregory Hobson, still work, maintaining the multiple buildings and dorms on campus. Hobson, who has worked at Ball State for almost 30 years, manages the floors in Woody/Shales in LaFollette Complex with other custodians. He began his career at Ball State working in the Cooper Science Complex. He said he enjoyed getting to know the professors and students he saw each day. At LaFollette, his job mainly consists of cleaning duties, but he said he enjoys interacting with students as well. He scrubs or strips the main entrance floors, depending on the condition, and

then he applies wax to them. He also cleans the carpets and scrubs down the bathroom and kitchen floors. With the students gone, Hobson has the chance to scrub and wax the stairwells and landings. “It’s a rather strange feeling when you are used to seeing so many [students] here … during these breaks it gives us a chance to do extra things that we can’t do with everyone here,” Hobson said. During break, offices are still open, but without the students walking from class to class, there is much less activity. When the students left, the custodial staff was still at work, working its normal hours during the week. Hobson received two days off for Christmas and a day off for New Years. After the days off, he came back to his job ready for the new semester. “Break is beneficial for us as workers, and students, well, we always look forward and are happy to see the students return to campus,” he said. “After all, the students are what makes our job enjoyable.”

Ball State women’s basketball head coach Brady Sallee knows this firsthand, as he has spent time on the road during the basketball season since he began his coaching career as an assistant. Scheduling has made it difficult for Sallee to spend time with his family on Thanksgiving, but this year the coach got to go home for the holiday. “My family has definitely wanted me home on Thanksgiving for a while and were glad to finally have me there,” he said. Sallee’s family includes his wife Mandy and their three children, Avery, Taryn and Drew. The family was excited to celebrate Thanksgiving with Sallee as the Cardinals hosted the Federal Credit Union Thanksgiving Classic on Nov. 29 and 30, after the holiday. The local tournament allowed Sallee to give thanks with his wife and kids.

kind of tournament and I’ve had to miss Thanksgiving with my family,” Sallee said. Sallee said the excitement for the short break was all throughout the locker room with his team as well. The brief break did not allow all the players to go home, but those unfortunate players were able to find a welcoming family with fellow players and join them at the table. “The girls all opened their homes to their teammates, and everyone was excited to get a chance at a home cooked meal,” Sallee said. Although a meal with family has been hard to come by over the years for Sallee and his players, the group has always found a way to make Thanksgiving special. Wherever the team is over the holiday, Sallee said they always find somewhere to enjoy a big Thanksgiving together in a family atmosphere. Last season, Ball State played in a Thanksgiving tournament in Las Vegas. The players loved the chance to see
the city and made the most of the opportunity, despite being away from family. “We walked around the city and took in all we could and had a blast,” senior Shelbie Justice said. “It was so much fun for me and the rest of the team.”
Though Sallee spends the season and most of the winter with his team, he enjoyed the experience of being home for Thanksgiving. “I don’t always get chances like that with my family,” he said, “so when I do I definitely make the most of it.”

Rumors on social media said D Luxe Bar and Lounge was also closing, but owner Matt Hurst said he does not intend to close in the near future. “I’m not worried about business or closing,” Hurst said. “We were the only bar on the east side of the Village until Brothers opened.” Hurst said the closing of bars would give students fewer choices for when they go out. “If we can survive this game and if there’s only a couple bars, then yeah, our business is actually better because there’s less options for people to go,” Ellison said. “However, that’s the last thing I want in a community is the deterioration of our eco-

But even with the new offerings, Ellison said the success of the Village bars will hinge on the support they get from the community. “Everybody likes to get onto trendy social ideas. ‘Let’s support local communities, let’s grow local food,’” Ellison said. “Is that thought actually being acted on?

Students pay to stay in halls over break Travel costs, work keep people in town over winter vacation KARA BERG CHIEF REPORTER | knberg2@bsu.edu Though most students went home for the holidays, some stayed behind on Ball State’s near-empty campus during Winter Break. Kristina Dalton, a sophomore psychology major, said campus was quiet and empty. She is a resident assistant at Studebaker East and stayed to work at her job at the complex’s front desk. Along with working, she said she spent time with her co-worker, who also stayed to work, and that they mainly watched a lot of Netflix. Dalton said most of the students who stayed in the resi-
dence halls were international students. “We also have a lot of athletes,” Dalton said. “I know we have a couple [students] from different dorms who are staying because they have to work or they live far away.” Dalton said there were about 10 students total who stayed. Studebaker East is the only dorm open during break. Matt Kovach, assistant director of housing and residence life, said every night not included in the normal residence hall contract costs $20. With the 22 days of break not accounted for in the contract, the price adds up to about $450. Although campus lacks students, the university is only closed for three days during break – Dec. 25, Dec. 26 and Jan. 1. Kovach said all departmental buildings were open for the rest of the break.
RESIDENCE HALLS DURING BREAKS • Students pay $20 per night to stay in residence halls outside of contract dates. • Studebaker East is the only residence hall open during Winter Break. • About 50 or fewer students stay each year. SOURCE: Matt Kovach, assistant director of housing and residence life
The Jo Ann Gora Student Recreation and Wellness Center and dining halls are open for limited hours during break. Other than the few hours the dining halls are open, students have to find their own way to get food. Dalton said Muncie also
seemed less crowded when she left campus. “It’s interesting because when you go out in Muncie, you don’t see a lot of students everywhere, you just see people from around the community,” she said. Bonu Dustova, a junior prebusiness and criminal justice major, lives off campus and stayed in town for break. She is an international student from Tajikistan and said the ticket back home was expensive. “Sometimes the price of going back doesn’t match it for the amount of time I could spend back there,” Dustova said. Her roommates were in Muncie for the first part of break, but went home eventually. With the empty campus, Dustova said she used the time to stay home and work on personal projects. “Muncie is the same thing, it’s kind of quiet, so I mainly focus on campus,” she said.

Many students are only at Ball State and Muncie during the semester, but Studebaker East, which is typically where international students live on campus, stays open during breaks for students who live too far away to go home or have to work.
