In the morning, the university asked the group to apply for permission to be on campus, which is policy for groups of more than 50 protestors.

Emily Murray, a senior hospitality and food management major, said she wasn’t aware of this rule until after practices began. “It didn’t really matter because we didn’t have any in our dance,” said Murray, who will perform with Phi Sigma Kappa and her sorority, Alpha Phi. McInerney said the committee conducted choreography checks last week to prevent groups from displaying tasteless behavior on stage. “I did not have to tell one group that they were inappropriate,” she said. “Everyone did really well, performed very nicely, had their stuff together and are looking great.”

fter gaining success as opening acts for country artists Luke Bryan and Taylor Swift, Florida Georgia Line is hitting the road on its first headlining tour. One of its first stops is John R. Emens Auditorium on Friday night with opening acts Colt Ford and Dallas Smith. TWO GOOD FRIENDS While studying music business at Belmont University in Nashville, Tenn., Tyler Hubbard learned a lot about the music industry and networked with people who have a similar passion. One of the people he met was Brian Kelley. Shortly after meeting, Hubbard and Kelley started writing songs together and building a partnership that would cement the name Florida Georgia Line. In December 2012, the duo released its first album, “Here’s to the Good Times,” which features hit songs “Cruise,” “Get Your Shine On” and “Round Here.” The album and each of the three singles have seen chart-topping success.

Disciplined play leads to more victories Few penalties help give Lembo’s team more advantages MAT MIKESELL CHIEF REPORTER | @MatMikesell Ball State has outscored its opponents 79-51 in its last two wins over the University of Toledo and the University of Virginia. But a more impressive comparison the last two games has been the penalty numbers. In the last two wins, Ball State was penalized only twice. Toledo and Virginia were both in double digits for a combined total of 23 penalties. The margin has been crucial for the Cardinals in grabbing those
wins. “You saw times the last two weeks where penalties aided us in keeping drives alive,” head coach Pete Lembo said. “Other times it severely affected the opponent.” Untimely penalties cost Virginia two touchdowns in Ball State’s 48-27 win Saturday in Charlottesville, Va. An ineligible receiver downfield penalty on Virginia negated a 79-yard touchdown pass by David Watford early in the fourth quarter that would have cut Ball State’s lead to three points. Instead, the Cavaliers settled for a field goal and didn’t score the rest of the game. Meanwhile, Ball State’s only penalty against Virginia was roughing the kicker pen-
alty in the second quarter after a PAT attempt. The result was only a touchback on the ensuing kickoff. “When those things happen it gives me more ammunition to go back to our team and say ‘this is why we do what we do,’” Lembo said. “It pays off when we get into these close games and games against very talented teams. It’s an equalizer.” Ball State averages only 3.67 penalties per game, which is tied with fellow Mid-American Conference team Central Michigan for the 12th fewest in Football Bowl Subdivision. For teams that have played six games, New Mexico State University is the fewest-penalized team with 3.33 per game. The Cardinals’ offensive line
takes pride in the lack of penalties called on them and realizes how it can be vital over the course of the game. “We focus on being disciplined,” offensive lineman Jordan Hansel said. “That’s what has led us to two penalties. It helps the team whenever we don’t screw up.” Every coach watches for penalties in practice and will go over video with the team and point out when a penalty is committed in practice. With that, the team also spends a heavy amount of time in practice focusing on proper blocking techniques — specifically keeping hands inside the body frame — to prevent getting called on holding penalties. Ball State’s style of offense also helps deter holding penalties. “The way we coach our offen-

vs. Illinois State: 5 for 40 yards vs. Army: 7 for 44 yards at North Texas: 4 for 28 yards at Eastern Michigan: 4 for 43 yards vs. Toledo: 1 for 10 yards at Virginia: 1 for 15 yards sive linemen from a technical standpoint minimizes holding penalties,” Lembo said. “We’re not one of the these teams that comes flying out the ball. We’re not lunging at people and our hands are outside our framework of our body.” The lack of penalties has kept Ball State with momentum in the last two games, while it has taken away momentum from its opponents. Keeping momentum for any
team playing on the road is crucial when trying to win. “It’s really demoralizing for your psyche of a team when you have a touchdown called back,” offensive line coach Nick Tabacca said. “You’re all excited and then all of a sudden it’s like the wind got taken out.” Whether Ball State can continue its streak of very few penalties for the remainder of the season is unknown. But only two penalties in the last two games is something the team has taken pride in, especially since it has meant two wins. But the team is aware that this Saturday against Kent State could be a different story. “We’ll probably go out and lay an egg on penalties,” Lembo said “But it has been good.”

Senior defensive specialist Catie Fredrich goes in for the bump to return to Buffalo on Saturday in Worthen Arena. Fredrich will work to defend against Western Michigan’s strong offense.
Yancy is just a sophomore while Ave Stout and Alysia Baznik are freshmen. Stout is hitting .391, the second highest hitting percentage in the MAC. Together, the three have combined for over 500 of Western Michigan’s kills and pose a formidable threat to the Ball State defense. “On defense, you’ve got to stay low and steady all the time,” defensive specialist Nikki Box said. “Otherwise you’re going to get burned.” In order to knock off Western Michigan, the Cardinal defense will have to continue to play at the high level it has this season. Ranked second in the MAC in opponents hitting percentage, starting defensive specialist Catie Fredrich and Box will need to be ready for whatever the Broncos offense sends at them. It’ll take a strong effort from the entire defense, including the blocking wall of Hayley Benson and Mindy Marx in order to be successful. No one said it was going to be easy.

The Ball State athletic department has extended second-year Ball State women’s basketball coach Brady Sallee one year, through the 2017-18 season, according to a media release. In Sallee’s first season at the helm of the women’s basketball program, he finished the regular season with a record of 16-14. The team started the season 4-10, but went on a 12-4 run through the conference schedule, earning a berth in the Mid-American Conference Tournament. At the end of last season, Athletic Director Bill Scholl approached Sallee with the general idea of reworking the contract. “You don’t think much about it because it’s your first year,“ Sallee said. “It wasn’t something I was looking for or even expecting. [Scholl] got real aggressive with it and worked with me and the people that help me. He really drove it home.”

There’s nothing easy about the Ball State women’s volleyball team’s current home stand. After knocking off the University of Buffalo, a team that’s 14-3, the Ball State sets its sights on Western Michigan University. Western Michigan is currently in a three-way tie with Ball State and Northern Illinois University for first place in the MAC West. After Friday’s match against the Broncos, head coach Steve Shondell’s team will immediately turn around and face the Huskies on Saturday. A poor showing would mean a lot of work for the volleyball team. A weekend sweep would make Ball State the sole first place team in the MAC West. But with the match against Western Michigan approaching quickly, Shondell isn’t taking anything for granted. “There’s no doubt it’s an advantage we’ve got this one at home,” Shondell said. “I can’t remember the last time we went on the road and won in Kalamazoo.” That would be in 2006, when Ball State beat Western Michigan in five sets when Dave Boos coached Ball State. Ball State hasn’t had much luck against Western Michigan at home either, dropping its match at Worthen Arena last season in three straight sets. Ball State managed just 30 kills and fell quickly to the eventual MAC West champions. This time, the Broncos have a different look. Stephenee Yancy leads the team with 244 kills and is the main weapon on a squad that’s ranked second in the MAC in kills with only Ball State ahead. One of the most deadly lineups in the conference, Western Michigan brings five players who already have at least 130 kills, three of them underclassmen.

endra Kolb is ready to take the stage. The senior nursing major has been sweating at practices, preparing to perform with two groups at this year’s Air Jam. Kolb will perform with her sorority, Alpha Omicron Pi, and Ball State’s dance team, Code Red. “It takes a lot of time management and planning since both groups are very fun and different,” Kolb said. “I’m most excited about getting the crowd excited with Code Red because it’s a completely different atmosphere compared to being with a group that’s competing.” Air Jam, the annual, sold-out dance and lip-sync competition, is at 9 p.m. tonight in John R. Emens Auditorium. Twenty groups from various organizations are set to perform. A traditional homecoming event on campus, Air Jam is studentbased and driven. “I feel that Air Jam is a once-in-a-lifetime student event because it’s one of the most fun college environments during Homecoming,” said Sara McInerney, Air Jam chair and senior communication studies major. When choosing the winner, the judges use a strict list of criteria, such as stage presence, appropriate selection of music and degree of difficulty.

BAND: Get to know the duo behind Florida Georgia Line

WINNING BIG
Since the release of their album, Kelley and Hubbard have been honored with multiple awards. They were named the Academy of Country Music’s New Artist of the Year and New Vocal Duo or Group of the Year for 2013. They won two 2013 CMT Music Awards and received multiple Teen Choice Award nominations. Fans of Florida Georgia Line have set venue and ticket records for the duo’s first headlining tour. Tickets for the group’s performance at the Sears Centre Arena in Chicago sold out in less than five minutes. Within two hours, event tickets for the Ball State performance sold out.
THE Q&A
Hubbard, the Georgia-native of the band, spoke about the tour and the duo’s accomplishments. Q: How did you get your start in music? A: I got my start by learning how to play guitar and being on stage at church growing up. Later on, I moved to Nashville because I liked the city and loved writing songs and wanted to see if this was something that [I] was going to want to do after school. I went to school in Nashville and [music] just became my passion. It’s something I love doing and luckily, I’ve been blessed enough to do it for a living. Q: Where do you think you would be right now if you and Kelley never met? A: I think I would be in Nashville
writing songs and maybe doing the solo artist thing, but it definitely wouldn’t be the same. It worked out great, to meet [Kelley] and write songs with him and just doing what we’re doing. Q: You’re going on your first headlining tour. How is this live show going to be different from your shows as a supporting act? A: Well, we’re going to get to do whatever we want and play as long as we want, which is nice. We’ll have a lot more production, a lot more smoke and lights and a lot more energy. We’re really excited. We’ve been planning and working a long time for this, so it’s going to be a great time. Q: Colt Ford and Dallas Smith are joining you at this event. Why were they selected as your openers? A: Colt Ford has been a good friend of ours for a long time. It’s funny... He use to let us open for him back in the day and we were getting on our feet, he helped us out. It’s cool to have him back out with us, and we really love him a lot. Dallas Smith is also a good buddy of ours. We felt like it was just a good fit. Q: When people hear Florida Georgia Line, they think of hit songs like “Cruise,” “Round Here” and “Get Your Shine On.” Which of those songs is your favorite to perform? A: Probably “Cruise.” It’s such a huge song. With the crowd, you can just tell the energy is building up to that moment and they just go crazy. It’s always a good time. That song has made history and

it’s just cool to see how passionate our fans are about it, especially live. Q: While preparing for this interview, I was looking over the lengthy list of awards that Florida Georgia Line has received. I’m a fan of you guys, and I never realized that you have accomplished so much. A: Yeah, it’s been kind of crazy. The last year and a half has been a whirlwind in general. It’s a testament to our fans and how loyal and awesome they are. Country radio has been awesome to us as well. So hopefully, we can do this thing for a while. Q: Some of the questions I have asked you came from Daily News readers on social media. Along with these questions were marriage proposals and request for a wedding band performance. I’m sure
this is something you deal with regularly. How do you react to it? A: I just kind of ignore it to be honest with you. It’s just part of it. It’s not annoying, but like I said, it’s just part of it. It’s still cool to see the passion from our fans, even if it’s someone proposing to us. It’s pretty wild to see all of this. We don’t mind it. We just shrug it off and laugh about it. Q: With all this success, do you feel like you have a lot to live up to with future music endeavors? A: We don’t usually put too much pressure on ourselves. We just kind of do what we love and try to make the best music we can by writing the best songs possible and continue to improve our live show. We just do our thing and try not to think about it too hard or take ourselves too serious.

The team reached the finish line the fastest with 12.1 seconds. The winner of the faculty and alumni division was #teamtwerkingmonkeys, a group of male residence hall faculty staff members, who also won best costume. The group stayed true to “The Wizard of Oz” theme as the Wicked Witch, flanked by her flying monkeys, flew down Riverside Avenue. The DZ Ladies from Delta Zeta took the sorority win and The Delts, from Delta Tau Delta, won for the fraternity division. In the resident hall divisions, the women from Studebaker West and the men from Schmidt-Wilson Hall won. Brayden Beyer was in a team from business fraternity Delta Sigma Pi. The team dressed in suit jackets for the race and had a rickety, bumpy ride. “There were a couple wipeouts that were pretty intense,” he said. Some groups represented their teams by wearing student organization and Greek Life T-shirts, some dressed as doctors and nurses pushing a patient on the bed and others emulated the cast of “The Wizard of Oz.” This was the first time the race had not been on a Friday, but Justin Miller, special events chair, said it may have helped attendance. “One thing that helped was we had a campaign for Wednesday rather than Friday,” Miller said. “It’s something new and different, so it helped spread the word.” Miller said the Homecoming Steering Committee has worked on making students aware of the events with campaigns and social media. “We’ve had a lot more faculty and staff teams this year than before,” Shreiner said. “They’ve really had a lot of participation this year and have done a good job representing the theme.” Shreiner said the Bed Race has been a good way to get the campus in the spirit for the rest of the Homecoming events, such as the football game Saturday.

US cutting millions in aid to Egypt Exact amount of aid withheld until progress is made
HOW MUCH WILL THE LOSS IN U.S. AID MATTER? Egypt has other allies who may be able to fill the financial void. Saudi Arabia and some of its Gulf Arab partners have provided a critical financial lifeline for Egypt’s new government, pledging at least $12 billion so far and aiding in regional crackdowns on Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood.
| THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — The United States on Wednesday cut hundreds of millions of dollars in aid to its Mideast ally Egypt, responding to the military ouster last summer of the nation’s first democratically elected president and the crackdown on protesters that has sunk the country into violent turmoil. While the State Department did not provide a dollar amount of what was being withheld, most of it is linked to military aid. In all, the U.S. provides $1.5 billion in aid each year to Egypt. Officials said the aid being withheld included 10 Apache helicopters at a cost of more than $500 million, M1A1 tank kits and Harpoon anti-ship missiles. The U.S. also is withholding $260 million in cash assistance to the government until “credible progress” is made toward an inclusive government set up through free and fair elections. The U.S. had already suspended the delivery of four F-16 fighter jets and canceled biennial U.S.Egyptian military exercises. In Cairo, military spokesman Col. Ahmed Mohammed Ali declined immediate comment. Before the announcement, Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, the Egyptian military leader, described his country’s relations with the United States as “strategic” and founded on mutual interests. But he told the Cairo daily, Al-Masry al-Youm, in an interview published on Wednesday that Egypt would not tolerate pressure, “whether through actions or hints.” Neighboring Israel also has indicated concern. The Israelis consider the U.S. aid to Egypt to be important support for the peace agreement

Supporters of ousted Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi demand he be reinstated on July 12 in Cairo, Egypt. In response to violent outbreaks following the presidents ousting, the United States cut hundreds of millions in aid to Egypt on Wednesday. The exact amount is being withheld and is being linked to military aid, according to the Associated Press.

between Egypt and Israel. The State Department stressed that the long-standing U.S. partnership with Egypt would continue and U.S. officials made it clear that the decisions are not permanent, adding that there is no intent by the Obama administration to end any specific programs. Still, the decision puts ties between the U.S. and Egypt at their rockiest point in more than three decades. “The United States continues to support a democratic transition and oppose violence as a means of resolving differences within Egypt,” State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said. “We will con-
tinue to review the decisions regarding our assistance periodically and will continue to work with the interim government to help it move toward our shared goals in an atmosphere free of violence and intimidation.” The U.S. will continue to provide support for health and education and counterterrorism, spare military parts, military training and education, border security and security assistance in the Sinai Peninsula where near-daily attacks against security forces

“Our law is clear. When there is a military coup, U.S. aid to the government is cut off,” Leahy said in a statement. “Rather than encourage reconciliation and restore democracy as it promised, the Egyptian military has reinstituted martial law and cracked down on the Islamic opposition, which has also used violence.” Others, including some sharp political opponents of Obama on other subjects, supported the president’s decision. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., whose bill to halt aid to Egypt was roundly defeated in the Senate in July, said he was happy to see the administration “finally thinking about following the law.” Administration officials, on a conference call to brief reporters on the decision, said Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel talked on the phone on Wednesday with el-Sissi, who led the military effort that ousted Morsi. They said the conversation was cordial, professional and ended on a positive tone. But the decision certainly creates new friction in Washington’s already uneasy relations with the government that ousted Morsi. And the consequences won’t end there. The move will anger Gulf states, push Egypt to seek assistance from U.S. rivals and upend decades of close ties with the Egyptians that have been a bulwark of stability in the Middle East.

October begins flu season
AIR JAM: Some dance moves will result in loss of points
Health Center has double vaccinations from previous year TINA SIMPSON STAFF REPORTER | tmsimpson@bsu.edu
| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
Flu season begins in October, and the Amelia T. Wood Health Center has doubled the number of flu vaccinations over the last year. It has 400 doses in stock, said pharmacy manager Lisa Penny. By Jan. 14, the center had already depleted its supply for the season of October 2012 through May 2013. Penny said the quantity is usually based on the number
of doses given the year before and then pre-ordered for the current year. Nationwide last year there was not a shortage. Penny said even though the Health Center had no more doses, there were still several left in the community. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, up to five million more doses will be available this season. Even with the expected increase, the current distribution levels for the United States are trailing last year’s number, according to the CDC website. So far, 73 million doses have been distributed as opposed to 96.8 million last year.
It’s difficult to predict when the demand for the vaccine will reach its peak because, according to the CDC website, “the timing of flu is very unpredictable and can vary from season to season.� Most of Indiana’s vaccine supply will be a trivalent form, a version of the vaccine which protects against three flu viruses. There is also a limited number of a new quadrivalent vaccine which combats four viruses, according to the Indiana State Department of Health. Penny said the Ball State Health Center is only offering the trivalent vaccine. It’s too early to know if the increased quantity will

Management company to host first Homecoming 5K
Committee says run, walk is healthy cause for students, alumni
|
JACQUI SCHLABACH STAFF REPORTER jtschlabach@bsu.edu
Ball State’s first Homecoming 5K Run and Walk has nearly 200 participants of all ages already registered. An event management company Ball State hired, America Multi-Sport, will host the race, which is at 9:15 a.m. Saturday.
“We hope to get a larger support for the community and alumni for Homecoming,� said Justin Miller, Homecoming Steering Committee special events chair. “And it’s also a good way to get students involved in a healthy cause.� Those in charge of Homecoming for the Alumni Association did an alumni survey, which asked what they wanted to add for the Homecoming events this year, he said. The survey indicated looking into something health and fitness oriented.
The money generated from participants will go toward operating the race as well as medals and trophies for winners of each age group and the overall male and female race winners. Charlie Cardinal will make a special appearance in the lead vehicle as it initializes the event. “The neat part about the whole thing is obviously, the crowds will be there cheering as they get ready for the parade itself,� said alumnus Steve Tomboni, CEO of America Multi-

PROTEST: University Police Department assists with enforcing student code | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Jones-Hall said the university was originally unaware of how many protesters were involved. Jason Storm, a protestor, said the group included 15 to 20 people. This is not the group’s first protest on Ball State’s campus, and it has been traveling to different schools for about 15 years. The protestors were allowed to remain south of Bracken Library. The group displayed signs, many featuring photos of mutilated babies. Around 3 p.m., Kevin Kenyon, associate vice president of facilities, told the protestors the size of their signs did not follow university policy and that they could not amplify their voices using a microphone or PA system, which they had been doing. He said UPD assisted him in enforcing the sign and amplification policy. According to both the Use of Property for Expressive Activities Policy and Policy Concerning Campus Use sections of the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities, groups must obtain permission before amplifying their voices. Jones-Hall said large, leaning signs are against student policy, and must be handheld. She said she worked with the policy writer and a university attorney, but is not sure exactly where the requirements are listed. The Daily News could not find regulations for signs on campus in the student code, which apDN PHOTO JONATHAN MIKSANEK plies to students, faculty and others. Tony Couppee gestures to a student during a pro-life protest on Wednesday in front of Bracken Library. Couppee is a member of the Missionaries to the Preborn from Milwaukee, Wis. Kenyon said some of the problems were a result of the policy on the Use of University Property for Expressive Activity being less than one year old. “Since this other policy was developed last year, we really didn’t have a separate policy for it,” Kenyon said. “It was sort of a paragraph in the student rights manual. It was broken out as a policy.” Jones-Hall said the graphic material To view a video on the protestors’ signs was one of the top complaints she received.
