The suspect, a 17 year old, left their table, which was also occupied by the three Ball State football players, and went into the bathroom after their waitress gave him his bill, according to the police report. After returning to the table he put the money into the black folder, according to police who sourced a security video of the event. The group’s waitress told police she saw the suspect laughing

Maryland college to implement alternative admissions process TODD BLEVINS STAFF REPORTER | tblevins@bsu.edu An East Coast college is rethinking the college admissions process by accepting video applications. Goucher College, a small liberal arts college in Maryland, now accepts two-minute video applications that state why a student would be a great addition to the university. Chris Munchel, director of undergraduate admissions, said he does not think Ball State is moving in VIDEO CRITERIA the same direction. GOUCHER VIDEO “I do not see Ball EVALUATION CRITERIA State University mov- • Content and thoughtfulness ing towards a video application, especial- • Structure and organization ly as the decisive factor for an admissions • Clarity and effectiveness decision, anytime • Two-minute duration SOURCE: goucher.edu in the near future,” Munchel said. Munchel said the admissions department feels it is important to continue to evaluate factors like high school curriculum, GPA and SAT/ ACT scores when determining whom to admit to the university. According to Goucher’s official rubric for the video applications, reviewers are looking for thoughtfulness, structure and clarity from applicants’ videos. A Goucher video application costs the same as a traditional written application, which Goucher still accepts. However, the major difference lies in the accompanying materials that go alongside the applications. For written applications, students must also submit a high school transcript, a recommendation letter from a teacher and a secondary report with a letter of recommendation from a college adviser. For video applications, students must also submit a brief written form, one graded writing assignment and one other outstanding assignment.

n the first Cave show of the season, one actress’s personal connection to the story has allowed her to become closer to her own mother. Set during a 20-year time period of personal unrest after the Vietnam War, “A Piece of My Heart” features six women who struggle with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after serving their country. Director Joel Kirk, a junior theatrical directing major, defines PTSD as “a perpetual reliving of a traumatizing experience.” He goes on to describe this performance as a “memory play” which “is a reflection of how the women handle revisiting these lifealtering moments and how they pursue peace through the war echoes in their mind.” Senior acting major Jessica Ervin plays LeeAnn, a halfChinese/half-Italian hippie. Originally, LeeAnn plans to express her anti-war sentiments while taking care of soldiers after they return home from combat, but she is sent to Vietnam despite the fact that she didn’t volunteer.

YOU PROBABLY WON’T DIE FROM EBOLA. BUT WE CAN’T MAKE ANY PROMISES.
The Ball State soccer team has made defense its priority, and it has put the Cardinals in position to compete for a top seed in the MidAmerican Conference tournament. At the halfway point of MAC play, Ball State currently sits at 3-3 in the conference. Ball State defeated Kent State 1-0 on Sunday, shutting out an opponent for the sixth time this season. “The girls had been competing against some of the tough competition lately and come up just short,” head coach Craig Roberts said. “Today, they played physical, stuck to the game plan and looked like champions out there.” The shutout went to freshman goalkeeper Alyssa Heintschel, who
made her first collegiate start. “We decided to give Alyssa the start, and she really played tremendously, as she has all season,” Roberts said. Heintschel and sophomore Brooke Dennis, Ball State’s regular goalkeeper, have been the anchors at the back end of the Cardinals’ defense. Dennis and Heintschel have combined for 71 saves on the year, a save percentage of .855. The pair has lifted Ball State into the top three in save percentage in the MAC. 1.

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Catholic bishops signaled a radical shift in tone Monday about accepting gays into the church, saying they had gifts to offer and that their partnerships, while morally problematic, provided homosexual couples with “precious” support. In a preliminary report, the bishops also said the church must welcome divorcees and recognize the “positive” aspects of civil marriages and even Catholics who cohabitate, as well as the children of these less traditional families. “For the LGBT Catholics in the United States and around the world, this new document is a light in the darkness — a dramatic new tone from a church hierarchy that has long denied the very existence of committed and loving gay and lesbian partnerships,” said Chad Griffin, president of Human Rights Campaign, the biggest LGBT rights organization in the U.S.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Following a fatal police shooting that has fueled weeks of protests, Missouri lawmakers could consider legislation that would remove local prosecutors from decisions about whether to charge police involved in deadly shootings. State Rep. Jay Barnes said he plans to file legislation during 2015 session that would give the state attorney general’s office the responsibility for
determining whether charges should be filed against law enforcement officers who fatally shoot people. “There’s an inevitable appearance of bias in a case where a prosecutor has to decide whether to take action against an officer who works for an agency that prosecutor works handin-hand with every single day,” Barnes, a Republican attorney from Jefferson City, said Monday.

LONDON (AP) — British lawmakers voted Monday in favor of recognizing Palestine as a state, a symbolic move intended to increase pressure for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Legislators in the House of Commons voted 274 to 12 to support a motion calling on the British government to “recognize the state of Palestine
alongside the state of Israel.” Prime Minister David Cameron and other government leaders abstained, and more than half of the 650 Commons members did not participate in the vote. Labour Party legislator Grahame Morris said recognizing a Palestinian state could help break the impasse in peace negotiations before it was too late.

Freshman goalkeeper Alyssa Heintschel made her first collegiate start in the game against Kent State on Sunday. Heintschel has had a total of 15 saves this season.
| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 The defense has been able to stand tall no matter what kind of environment it is put into, as it also shut out Green Bay on the road on Aug. 24 and Delaware at
a neutral site on Sept. 12. If the defense remains tough, Ball State could have the chance to return to MAC championship game. Ball State reached the MAC
championship match last season with a strong defense and a goalkeeper in Layne Schramm, who was ranked in the top 50 in the nation. Though last year’s perfor-
mance does put a lot of pressure on the defense to help Ball State return to the championship game, the Cardinals have performed well and look to improve as conference play continues.
Ball State middle hitter Hayley Benson has been named the MidAmerican Conference West Division Offensive Player of the Week, voted on by the MAC’s 12 head coaches. The redshirt junior is now a five-time MAC weekly award winner, and has earned the honor three times this season. In victories over Toledo and Buffalo, Benson led Ball State with 30 kills on a .569 attack percentage. She converted on 30-51 attacks with only one error through two matches. Benson led the match in kills against Toledo with 16, and posted a season-best .609 attack percentage in the victory over Buffalo. Benson leads the MAC in attack percentage in league-only matches, carrying a .465 mark entering the week. She ranks third in the league in this category for the season with a total .354 percentage. The Cardinals return to action on Oct. 17 as they host the Ohio Bobcats. – STAFF REPORTS

Urban Planning continues to grow Program improves RANKING FACTORS after reaccreditation, 30 percent opinion of planning educators curriculum review KARA BERG CHIEF REPORTER | knberg2@bsu.edu
The Urban Planning graduate program at Ball State surpassed its scores from the last ranking in 2011 in this year’s Guide to Graduate Urban Planning Programs by Planetizen, an information network for the urban planning, design and development community. This year, the department was ranked eighth in the Midwest, seventh nationally among programs not offering a Ph.D and seventh in top small programs. The rankings were published in their fourth editor of the Guide to Graduate Urban Planning Programs. James Brasuell, the managing editor of Planetizen, said to come up with the rankings, they use survey mechanisms, as well as some of their own research. They did a survey of faculty around the country and asked their opinions on metrics about the quality of the programs. Planetizen also used data that was publicly available about schools – like scores, retention rates and tuition costs. “We tried to capture accurate data that reflected all the things students might consider when looking at graduate schools for planning,” Brasuell said. “Obviously, Ball State performed well on some or all of these metrics. Ranking out of so many schools in any of those, within region and nationally is a huge ac-

complishment by faculty and students of that school. It really reflects that they’re doing a lot of things well.” Michael Burayidi, professor and chairperson of the department of urban planning, said the department was “hyped and excited” about the rankings. He said he thought some of the changes that had been made to the department brought about the higher ranking. About a year ago, the urban planning program underwent a reaccreditation of the program and it brought in faculty to review the program and curriculum. Burayidi said the faculty was impressed with the curriculum, which was revised to be closely aligned with Planetizen. One of the main changes was a requirement for students to take a class on geographic information systems, since that is a still required in almost all urban planning jobs. “With this, it makes a more

Main actress taps into mother’s past for help | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Since her character works as a nurse in the war, Ervin consulted her own mother, who served in a similar capacity herself. “One of the coolest things about this experience has been working with my mom,” said Ervin. “She was a nurse during wartime, and I’ve been able to draw a lot from her. I feel a lot more equipped to play this part because of her.” In addition to having connections to the life of an actress in this show, the play also has connections to real women who were an integral part of the Vietnam War: the script is based on interviews with real people and tells the stories as they are. “The government failed to make official lists of the women who served in Vietnam,” Kirk said. “More information concerning

our country. This staggering reality made research difficult and the need to tell the story imperative.”
Senior acting major David Cole plays all of the male roles in the show, totaling to more than a dozen separate characters. “I play anything from a nameless soldier you meet at an airport to boyfriends the girls have lost,” he said. “I represent all of their memories: people they remember very well and others—they’ll never forget the moment, but they can’t remember the person.” These kinds of moments come together to tell the story of these service women and their contribution to history. Kirk said he hopes the audiences will come to a better understanding about the sacrifices of those who were “disregarded and denigrated” by history. “This is a play about women who find victory through unthinkable tribulation,” he said. “These women are nothing short of heroes.”
CDC urges Ebola procedure review Hospital training, support to increase following virus case | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON (AP) — The government is telling the nation’s hospitals to “think Ebola.” Every hospital must know how to diagnose Ebola in people who have been in West Africa and be ready to isolate a suspected case, Tom Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said Monday. He said the CDC is working to improve protections for hospital workers after a nurse caring for an Ebola patient in Dallas became the first person to become infected with the disease inside the U.S. “We have to rethink the way we address Ebola infection control,” Frieden said, “because even a single infection is unacceptable.” The CDC is scrambling to in-

apparently became infected through some breach in the protocol for caring for Ebola patients. On Monday, Frieden offered an apology to health care workers who complained that it sounded like he was blaming the nurse instead of questioning whether the protocols and training she received were sufficient. “I feel awful that a hospital worker became infected taking care of an Ebola patient,” Frieden said. Frieden said CDC workers were at the Dallas hospital helping to make safety improvements as the staff member is treated. Hospital workers across the country are the front line against Ebola, he said. “The single most important thing for every hospital to know is taking a history of travel,” Frieden said. He said people who have been to Liberia, Sierra Leone or Guinea within the last 21 days and are exhibiting Ebola-like symptoms should immediately be placed in isolation.
ning conferences, which is another thing that Burayidi said most likely contributed to their ranking. He said they take more than 30 students to the professional planning conference every year and provide financial support for it.
This allows them to showcase some of their work and have a chance to expose it to professionals. “It’s not enough to simply do good work,” Burayidi said. “If people don’t know what you’re doing, they wont recognize it.”
ADMISSIONS: Students show support for video process | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Kristen Pinheiro, senior director of communications at Goucher, said she does not fully know what to expect, but believes video applications are a good idea. “Video applications will help some students best present themselves as to how they are going to be a good member of our community and a student who is engaged,” Pinheiro said. In addition, Pinheiro said that video applications allow students to show their technological prowess. “This is a medium that students are increasingly comfortable with. It’s something they understand, something that’s second nature to many of them ... It only makes sense to offer this as an alternative way to apply,” Pinheiro said. Pinheiro said that the university expects 40 to 50 students to submit video applications this year. Nevertheless, one Ball State student said he would have loved to have a video admissions process. Kaler Nicholson, a freshman telecommunications major, said that a video application
might have helped him get into the honors college. The written application, Nicholson said, did not give him a chance to show some of his best traits. “With a video application, you get to see the strongest qualities of students,” Nicholson said. Other Ball State students expressed their interest in the video application process. “I think it’s a really neat idea,” said John Baney, a graduate student in the Center for Communication and Information Sciences. “If it was around when I was applying to colleges, I could have said some things that I couldn’t say in a written application.” Other students were uncertain as to the added personal value of a video admission. “I like the idea, but I think I look better on paper than on video,” said Connor O’Laughlin, a sophomore communications major. Pinheiro said that she still expects most students to submit written applications in the coming years, but added that Goucher’s new method is a revolutionary step forward. “I think it’s starting a really important conversation around the admissions process,” she said.
HOSPITAL SAFETY GUIDELINES The CDC provides guidelines for hospitals in the prevention and control of Ebola transmission. These are the personal protective gear recommendations for health care personnel working with a potentially infected patient. SEQUENCE FOR PUTTING ON NECESSARY PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT Mask or respirator should fit snugly to face and cover bridge of nose to below the chin. Ties or elastic band should be secure at middle of head and neck.
Isolation gown must fully cover torso from neck to knees, arms to end of wrists and be wrapped around the back and fastened.
Goggles or face shield must fit securely and shield eyes.
Gloves are equipped last and should extend to cover the wrist of the gown.

I won’t pretend that playing with the Ball State Wheelchair Basketball League for an hour per week gives me an insight into the life of any person with a disability. Shooting hoops in a wheelchair didn’t give me an understanding of the daily struggles that a student may be faced with. What I am taking away from this experience is a new perspective, not on what disabled students can’t do, but what they can do. That even though I may never be in their situation, there is a way for me to take a small step into their

And, before my first week on the court, I believed I might face that same disapproval. Instead, I was greeted with welcome, encouragement and plenty of helpful tips that I definitely needed. I found that no one was trying to simulate the experiences of a disabled student, but simply there to play ball with their friends. Playing with this league every Tuesday night is not about the chairs or the limitations. It is not about what anybody can or cannot do. It
is about a game and the people playing that game coming together on the court. “Wheelchair basketball is a different game than regular basketball to a certain extent. It’s not about getting able-bodied people in here to see what the people with disabilities are doing,” Matthew Marshall, a junior chemistry and pre-med major, said. “It’s about getting people to come out, have a good time and play some basketball and see that this is a real sport. This isn’t a substitute for anything. This is just what we do.” For me, I have found that understanding does not come from learning about a person’s disabil-

FILM OFFERS FRESH TAKE ON OLD HORROR MOVIE ELEMENTS ANNA BOWMAN FILM ANNALYSIS ANNA BOWMAN IS A JUNIOR ENGLISH AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS MAJOR AND WRITES ‘FILM ANNALYSIS’ FOR THE DAILY NEWS. HER VIEWS DO NOT NECESSARILY AGREE WITH THOSE OF THE NEWSPAPER. WRITE TO ANNA AT AABOWMAN@BSU.EDU.
Radio static, wild sewing machines, a popcorn inferno that no one started — these are just a few things that will get your blood pumping while you watch the prequel to “The Conjuring.” “Annabelle” starts with the cult murder of neighbors and continues with the satanic haunting of a vintage children’s toy. Though the central figure is a doll, which has been done numerous times, this movie offers a fresh take on how to fight the evil within it. The pacing, a vital element in horror movies, is spot-on, from the moment there is a disturbance in the house next door to the time it takes for demons to get what they want. In many scary movies, once the audience is scared once, the pacing becomes predictable, but “Annabelle” drags on the suspense until just the right moment. However, a word of warning to those with sensitive ears: sound is used several times to shock the audience. “Annabelle” does not rely too heavily on this technique, but there are still quite a few intense jolts in the audio to be aware of. By doing this, “Annabelle” got the biggest jumps from the audience without overusing grotesque visuals for shock value. There are many iconic visuals to take note of in the film, such as writings in blood, child-like drawings of murder and disturbed young girls, who have become quite popular in recent years. Although these images are ubiquitous in horror movies, “Annabelle” is successful in making them relevant to the subject matter. This is mainly due to the writing, which is good at incorporating small details that would later become relevant to the film. The storyline is fairly straightforward, but it takes several turns to keep the audience from guessing the ending. The dialogue, while not necessarily original, is not obnoxiously cliché. The banter between husband and wife is funny enough to sustain interest in between the moments of fright. As far as acting goes, ironically-named actress Annabelle Wallis plays a convincing mother. There is a true desperation evident in the way she behaves toward her character’s child and the delivery of her lines is natural and keeps with the mood of the scene. The real actress to look out for is Alfre Woodard. She plays a friend of the family, and her power to misdirect the audience is something very few actors can accomplish in such few scenes. The cinematography used in “Annabelle” is very succinct. There are not many superfluous gore shots, and the shots that do include carnage are integral to the scene. There is a lot of variety in the types of shots used as well. One of the best shots

in the movie is a sideways angle of the main character at the climax of the movie. It only happens once, but the out-of-control effect it creates played an important role in the scene. For classic cult movie fans, “Annabelle” is reminiscent of “Rosemary’s Baby,” a horror film from 1968. Though the two movies have very different endings, they both include a strong female lead, nosy neighbors and the presence of demons. Demons are common in many scary movies, but the issue with “Annabelle” and “Rosemary’s Baby” is the exposition of the demons’ faces. Usually, fear of the unknown is the weapon of choice in horror films, but for these two, the face of the demon is clear and unyielding. Not only that, but the effects used in “Annabelle” for the demon were unoriginal and obviously simulated. This seems to be a weakness, as it leaves no mystery or realistic graphics to keep the audience interested, and for both films, the representation is fairly cliché. The main issue of “Annabelle” is its representation of evil. Not only does it show the face of the demons conducting the haunting, but it also has far too many characters acting against the protagonists. A horror film should have one, or maybe two main antagonists throughout the story, or it gets confusing. The fact that there are at least four means that there should have been more of a focus on where exactly the evil comes from. Nevertheless, if your taste is akin to strong suspense, minimum gore and demonic plot points, Annabelle is a film worth watching. Rating: 4/5
