digital storytelling graduate student could have written a paper or even made a short film for his special projects class. Instead, Rob Mugge created an event for Ball State students and community members to showcase film projects.

The idea for Mugge’s project called Muncie Open Screen came from events Mugge used to attend in Philadelphia. Like open mic nights for comedians or musicians, any filmmaker from any skill level can participate by showing their short films, music videos, commercials and other projects.

“Personally, I’d like to get really weird things that people don’t think is going to get accepted to an actual film festival or anything,” Mugge said.

Muncie Open Screen will play films the first Thursday of every month, with no charge to viewers.

Mugge first mentioned his plan to telecommunications instructor Chris Flook in the summer. Flook suggested that Mugge host the event at the Muncie Civic Theatre instead of on Ball State’s campus.

Backfield in line for potential huge day Team faces ex-coach, struggling defense in weekend matchup DAVID POLASKI CHIEF REPORTER | @DavidPolaski

Going up against an Army defense that allowed 335 rushing yards to Division II Yale, Ball State running backs Jahwan Edwards and Horactio Banks could be in line for a productive day.

In four games, Army has given up 39, 35, 24 and 49 points. “[Army defensive coordinator Jay] Bateman will have them in position, there’s no doubt about that,” Banks said. “They’re tough, they play hard, they don’t quit and they’re going to play for five quarters

even though there’s only four.”

Bateman was Ball State’s defensive coordinator from 2011-2013.

Banks should have plenty of room to run on Saturday, as Army enters the contest ranked No. 98 out of 124 teams in the country in rushing yards allowed per game, according to ESPN.com.

The Black Knights are surrendering nearly 200 yards on the ground per game and have allowed 10 touchdowns.

The matchup bodes well for a Ball State rushing attack that has struggled at times this season, though the unit returned to form against Toledo.

Edwards ripped off 125 yards and averaged six yards a carry while Banks added 47 yards of his own.

and a struggling rushing defense straight ahead, the opportunity for the duo to run wild is evident.

“When you watch that tape, those Army kids really battled and the Yale running back is awfully good as well,” offensive coordinator Joey Lynch said. “Army had

some guys there to make plays and stop the run; they just didn’t make them that day.”

Lynch said Army utilizes significant movement among its defensive line and linebackers along with stunts to penetrate the offensive line and stop plays before they develop.

It’ll be a test for the Ball State offensive line as well. Strong tackle Drake Miller is returning to the lineup with a club on his hand, and provides experience that’s been missing from the far right side of the line.

With components slowly becoming healthy, it’s a sign that Ball State’s running game may be ready to take off, and Army is the opponent it could happen against.

Depending on how much of Ball State’s old defense current defensive coordinator Kevin Kelly uses, some things may be slightly tweaked to prevent Bateman from gaining too much of an advantage. At the same time, Lembo and offensive coordinator Joey Lynch will be using their previous knowledge of Bateman’s tendencies to capitalize on a struggling Army defense.

Panhellenic Council wins award Greek organization meets most criteria for 3rd year in a row ALAN HOVORKA CHIEF REPORTER | afhovorka@bsu.edu

Ball State’s sorority council again joined the ranks of the 32 councils recognized nationally this year.

The National Panhellenic Conference released its annual winners of excellence and achievement awards on Aug. 18. The awards are handed out to member Panhellenic councils throughout the U.S.

Panhellenic Councils are the governing bodies for all sororities that are members of NPC on a university campus.

There were 11 excellence awards. Ball State’s Panhellenic received one of the 21 achievement awards. Excellence awards were given to those that met all seven criteria, and achievement awards were given to those meeting five or six criteria. NPC did not release what areas Ball State had not met or how it placed compared to other winning councils.

The seven areas in which the sorority councils were evaluated in were recruitment, Panhellenic structure,

communication with NPC area adviser, judicial procedures, Panhellenic programming, academics and Panhellenic community impact and relations.

This is the third year in a row that Ball State’s Panhellenic Council was recognized for meeting a majority of criteria.

About 75 of the 672 Panhellenic councils across the U.S. applied.

Not every council has to apply for the award; it is up to their discretion to apply, Julie Johnson, NPC’s college Panhellenic Committee Chairman, said.

“We are really excited be-

cause all Panhellenics are eligible and to know we are doing a good job from headquarters is a great thing,” said Danica Craig, president of the Ball State Panhellenic Council. “The application process is pretty extensive, and it was just a satisfying feeling to have done it because of how much time it took.”

Only a small fraction of member councils were ineligible because they did not meet the core competencies, which means they had not met certain expectations and deadlines set by the NPC, Johnson said.

“I’d like to think that all of our member groups meet the

core competencies, but of course there are outliers here and there,” Johnson said. “I’d say about 95 percent meet [core competencies].”

NPC has existed since 1902 and is the umbrella group for 26 national and international sororities.

There are about 3,180 chapters with 353,345 undergraduate members at the 672 campuses with an affiliated council. Ball State has 10 chapters of the 26 member sororities of the NPC. “As a council, we pride ourselves to do things in the community to show what Panhellenic woman are capable of,” Craig said.

RAWL: Sophomore speaks against bullying in book For Rawl, speaking out about her HIV status has been a way to cope with the bullying and the fact that she is HIV positive.

Almost 28 percent of students reported being bullied during the school year in 2011, according to the National Center for Educational Statistics.

Rawl said since bullying has started reaching younger kids each year, there needs to be more education about both bullying and HIV. “When I went through bul-

lying in middle school, it was really hard and I didn’t really ever understand what it meant to be HIV positive and live with that stigma out there,” Rawl said. “So sharing my story and educating people is so important so when kids get to that age in middle school — it’s already such a cruel time already — they’re able to be who they are and tell people they’re positive and be able to get good responses.”

People age 13-24 made up 26 percent of new HIV infections in the U.S. in 2011,

according to the Center for Disease Control.

Rawl said because of her diagnosis, she has learned to take something negative and turn it into something positive, which is where the title for her memoir comes from.

“A lot of people know that HIV doesn’t define who I am,” Rawl said. “So I think the title ‘Positive’ has just an overall theme of staying positive and not being negative about things and wanting to help others instead of bringing people down.”

FILM: Muncie Civic Theatre to debut movies this week | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Paige Rawl, a sophomore molecular biology major, was diagnosed with HIV before age 3. Rawl wrote a memoir about turning her diagnosis into something positive.

PANHELLENIC REQUIREMENTS

Flook said it may be convenient to use Ball State facilities, but bringing the event to the community makes it easier for everyone to participate.

Mugge, who just moved to Muncie last year, said he hasn’t had a chance to meet many other Muncie residents or students who create short films like the ones he hopes to show at Muncie Open Screen.

“We actually have a lot of students that make short films,” Flook said.

Flook said video projects, such as the recently premiered Ball Brothers documentary, are just more likely to receive the attention of the press or have a preset platform than short film creations.

Flook said he hopes Open Screen will be that platform.

Neethi Jelaji, a junior telecommunications major, began and finished her first short film this past summer.

She submitted it to Muncie

Open Screen a week ago.

Jelaji’s film shines a spotlight on depression, an issue that hit her hometown of Fishers hard during her years in high school.

“It’s just in my heart to stop it, to put an end to it, and the best way I know how is through a film,” she said.

She invited her friends and family to a premiere for the film in August.

“I was in fetal position behind the couch, not willing to watch it,” she said. “It was the most nerve-wrecking thing I’ve ever been through.”

At the Muncie Civic Theatre, Jelaji won’t have a couch barrier between her and the screen, but she said the opportunity to share her project is more important than the butterflies.

“This was my first short film so it was by no means perfect,” she said. “I can list all the problems with it right now. That’s the beauty in it, there are so many firsts. This [event] will be a segue into a first for other students.”

CDC REPORTS 1ST U.S. CASE OF EBOLA

DALLAS (AP) — The first case of Ebola diagnosed in the U.S. was confirmed Tuesday in a patient who traveled from Liberia to Dallas — a sign of the far-reaching impact of the out-of-control epidemic in West Africa.

The unidentified man was critically ill and has been in isolation at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital since Sunday, federal health officials said.

Officials said there are no other suspected cases in Texas.

At the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Director Tom Frieden said the man left Liberia on Sept. 19, arrived the next day to visit relatives and started feeling ill four or five days later. He said it was not clear how the patient became infected.

There was no risk to any fellow airline passengers because the man had no symptoms when he was traveling, Frieden said.

Ebola symptoms can include fever, muscle pain, vomiting and bleeding, and can appear as long as 21 days after exposure to the virus. The disease is not contagious until symptoms begin, and it takes close contact with bodily fluids to spread.

YORKE’S SURPRISE ALBUM MATCHES ARTIST’S USUAL SOUND ZACH BURGER THE DROP ZACH BURGER IS A SOPHOMORE AUDIO TELECOMMUNICATIONS MAJOR AND WRITES ‘THE DROP’ FOR THE DAILY NEWS. HIS VIEWS DO NOT NECESSARILY AGREE WITH THOSE OF THE NEWSPAPER. WRITE TO ZACH AT ZABURGER@BSU. EDU.

Though Thom Yorke’s most recent release, “Tomorrow’s Modern Boxes,” dropped Friday as a surprise album, the sound isn’t anything that takes fans by surprise.

The Radiohead frontman teamed with longtime collaborator Nigel Godrich on the project.

“A Brain in a Bottle” opens the album on unsure footing with a thick, swelling bass that’s soon accompanied byantsy two-step drums and half-moan, half-croon tenor vocals of Yorke himself.

Not surprisingly, the anxious dance-ability and synthesized melancholy of the opening track lasts through other tracks, including “Guess Again!” and “There Is No Ice.” “The Mother Lode” stands on its own as the strongest track on the album. It animates the album’s vibes with a hopeful energy that fits right in the pocket with the dance track drums. Featuring the instrumentation of a pop song yet constructed in a way to tell a

better story than most Top 40 hits, “The Mother Lode” should’ve been the single of the album had one been released.

The upbeat bass riff and engulfing vocals offer a readilyavailable dance track. In true Yorke style, the lyrics can be comprehended (though not fully understood), complementing the instrumental yet also holding a spotlight of its own.

Songs like “Interference,” void of the iconic Godrich drumbeats, showcase Yorke individually under the aural spotlight he coaxes with pristine falsetto and subdued lines like “I don’t have the right to interfere.” The expansive, bare vocals lend to the sincerity of both this track and “Truth Ray,” the album’s midpoint.

After the album’s intermission song, the intro to the finale begins with “There Is No Ice,” broken into the last three tracks of the album. A stark contrast from the lonely 808 rim and underwater-cave echo

of the previous song, Yorke segues quickly into the hoppy house party low-end complete with tribal drums.

The infant-sounding vocal effects used by Radiohead on the album “Kid A” come into play on this song as well with its illegible lyrics yet distinctly human quality. The lyrics you can follow along with don’t come until after the melting piano trick — what was long and flowing is chopped and skewered as the vocals begin

to wear down as well.

Once the rubble of the piano is sloppily pieced back together, the album plays like a warped vinyl record, complete with clicks and pink noise ambience — fittingly, the title is “Pink Section.” A salsa beat interrupts the soundscape-indulgence that Radiohead and Yorke fans love, kicking off the final track.

Perhaps the most accessible of the bunch, “Nose Grows Some” features drawn-out, almost conventional chords.

The slow but persistent feel of the song tips you off that the album is winding down, if the rigid verse/chorus structure, almost uncharacteristic of Yorke’s music, doesn’t.

Though the title of “Nose Grows Some” transitions from the typical cryptic naming into the nonsensical, the song holds well as an end to the 15-minute epic medley and an end to the album.

Utilizing yesteryear’s classic Radiohead sound, “Tomorrow’s Modern Boxes” proves to be a solid follow-up in Yorke’s solo endeavors.

CASEY PRINS MAJOR: MUSICAL THEATRE YEAR: JUNIOR

ALLIE RICHARDSON MAJOR: MUSICAL THEATRE YEAR: JUNIOR

KEIRSTEN HODGENS MAJOR: MUSICAL THEATRE YEAR: JUNIOR

How did you get started singing?

It started at about 7 when I joined my church chorus and then grew from there. In middle school I participated in concert choir and show choir, and in high school I was a four-year member of our top choral ensemble and junior varsity ensemble.

I grew up singing and performing.

It was one of those things that started as a hobby... and ultimately turned into a passion. I began singing at church and little events that one of my parents would coordinate, and eventually wound up in shows.

Watching Disney movies growing up, to singing in my bedroom into the hairbrush, and then I auditioned for show choir in my hometown, Winfield, W.Va.

I have been singing ever since I can remember. I grew up singing in church, and I was involved in choir/show choir all throughout elementary, middle and high school.

Why do you love it?

I love singing because it’s the way I express emotion. When I sing a song it’s normally because I have an emotional connection to it, and I love sharing that with an audience in hopes they can feel something in the song.

There are so many reasons. I love how it releases energy and tension from my body... I also love the opportunity to tell stories and share universal issues that seem to find a resolution through song.

I love musical theatre because I get to become an advocate for someone else’s circumstances while bringing my own experiences to the piece.

I love singing because singing and performing are two of the most accurate ways that I am able to express myself. My life would not be complete if I was unable to sing and perform.

Is it something you wish to pursue in the future?

It’s been a thought, but [I’m] still unsure. I do however plan to keep it a steady hobby throughout my life.

Being a musically-inclined individual is my goal for the future.

I am currently finishing up my last few years as a musical theatre student, and once I’ve completed my degree, my plan is to head off into new opportunities.

Yes, I would actually really like to work at Disney World.

Absolutely. I am a musical theatre major, so it is what I do every single day. As long as there is breath in my body, I plan on singing for the rest of my life.

What is your favorite genre to perform/ sing?

Honestly I can’t pick a favorite. As long as I can connect to the song I’ll sing it. A lot of people can sing lyrics off a page, but can they express and feel those lyrics.

I was trained classically and grew up being involved with that and musical theatre, but I do love pop and other genres just as much. I would have to say that I feel the most comfortable when I’m singing musical theatre or classical.

Musical theatre style songs are my favorite genre. There is a depth to the characters and lyrics, and there are so many layers to uncover to bring the songs to life.

I enjoy the process of venturing through the life of the character.

I love performing musical theatre pieces, but more than anything, I love pop, R&B and gospel. I love music with a nice beat and musicality, something that drives and that makes you feel good or want to dance.
