Congress, President enacted 11th hour bill into law, ending shutdown | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Up against a deadline, Congress passed and President Barack Obama signed legislation late Wednesday night to avoid a threatened national default and end the 16-day partial government shutdown, the culmination of an epic political drama that placed the U.S. economy at risk. The Senate voted first, a bipartisan 81-18 at midevening. That cleared the way for a final 285-144 vote in the Republican-controlled House about two hours later on the bill, which hewed strictly to the terms Obama laid down when the twin crises SPEAKING erupted more than three weeks ago.

More than Indiana senator 2 million federal workers would be paid — those who said about had remained on the job and those who had been drafting the bill furloughed. + PAGE 5 After the Senate approved the measure, Obama hailed the vote and quickly signed the bill early Thursday. “We’ll begin reopening our government immediately, and we can begin to lift this cloud of uncertainty from our businesses and the American people,” the president said. In the House, Rep. Harold Rogers, R-Ky., said, “After two long weeks, it is time to end this government shutdown. It’s time to take the threat of default off the table. It’s time to restore some sanity to this place.” The stock market surged higher at the prospect of an end to the crisis that also had threatened to shake confidence in the U.S. economy overseas. Republicans conceded defeat after a long struggle. “We fought the good fight. We just didn’t win,” conceded House Speaker John Boehner as lawmakers lined up to vote on a bill that includes nothing for GOP lawmakers who had demand to eradicate or scale back Obama’s signature health care overhaul.

STUDENTS RESPOND TO GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN Government battling budget ‘just the latest episode,’ said political science professor

CHRISTOPHER STEPHENS ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR news@bsudailynews.com
The 16-day federal government shutdown was an example of the United States government’s inability to work for the public good, said some Ball State students. “I think it is absurd, after all this time they can’t come together,” said Quinten Pattison, a freshman construction management major. “That’s their job, to run the government.” Freshman nursing major Shantelle Whitsey likened the partisan bickering to a fit a child might throw if they didn’t get their way. “The next time a teenage girl goes off, they can’t say anything,” she said. “They are just throwing the same type of temper tantrum.” Daniel Reagan, a political science professor, said this party line budget battle has happened at least two times in recent memory.

HOW HAS THE SHUTDOWN AFFECTED YOUR OPINION OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT?
«It hasn’t changed the
way I view the government, I think it has just made it more public.
“Most Americans know that Washington has been pretty divided, this is just the latest episode,” he said. “It is kind of a dramatic example of the extent to which there is this deadlock.” In 2000, when George H. W. Bush was president, the government came close to a shutdown due to the debt ceiling. The longest government shutdown lasted 21 days in the 90s under former president Bill Clinton. Becca Howard, a Ball State employee and recent alumna, said she thinks most Americans don’t worry about politics. “The government is just a mess anyway,” she said. “I didn’t see an immediate effect, so I don’t think about [the shutdown] everyday.” Freshman physical therapy major Elise Ingram also said she doesn’t think the government shutdown or debt ceiling crisis affected her life. “Everything is corrupt anyway,” she said. “I feel like they are not being supportive [of] the citizens’ needs.”

Zach Brown, BSUDM director of media relations, said the organization has grown in the past few years. Three years ago, the organization donated $39,000 to the hospital. Last year, that number had increased to almost $200,000. “I think athletics took note not only of our growth, but also our presence on campus,” Brown said. “We built a really strong brand over the past four years. It’s something people want to contribute to.” The athletic department and BSUDM’s first step to getting students to the game is awareness through social media, fliers, emails to the students and advertisement. The next step is actually getting students into the game. The group has discussed multiple ideas, including a march from campus to
the game, and also a march through the tailgating area. The athletic department also will give away a free car and host a greek night. If a fraternity or sorority gets a certain percentage of its organization to attend, it will get to display its letters in the student section at the game. Hardin said it won’t be easy since each game so far has averaged about 4,600 students per game. He said the opening game had 6,500 students present, the largest so far this season. Overall attendance numbers haven’t been as high this season as Ball State’s undefeated season in 2008. “Ten thousand is a huge number,” Hardin said. “We are asking for half of the student body to come out for a game on a Wednesday night, in the middle of November, when you don’t know what the weather is going to be

ASHLEY DYE 72HRS REPORTER acdye@bsu.edu
This is the second year for Muncie’s Haunted Forest, and it has expanded by nearly twice the original size, according to its website. The trail snakes around the forest off Cornbread Road, leaving its participants in almost complete darkness as they try to find their way out. Everyone from witches to evil surgeons play scenes on the sidelines, laughing and screaming or crying for help at each passersby. Some follow you, but none of them are allowed to touch. Instead they’ll breathe down your neck or laugh hysterically. The path can be hard to follow at times, but the workers have gotten rid of most of the branches and anything that could trip you in the dark. At one point, you get down on all fours to crawl through a tunnel. An actor on top of the tunnel cackles and taps for added claustrophobic effect in the confined space. I didn’t find it to be scary, but it takes a lot to scare me. I laughed through most of the trail, which juxtaposed my clinging, screaming friends. I was at the back of
the group, so most of the popping out effects used on my friends had no effect on me. Some of the workers do wait to pop out at the back of the group, though. I was amused by observing my frightened friends. In the beginning of the trail, my friend was taken by surprise and accidentally kicked a door in his confusion. For people who are easily frightened, the darkness and well-executed acting could get to them. It didn’t hurt that some of the workers knew a person in my group or would recognize their name and would call out to them. Still, I wanted to psyche myself up and let loose a scream, but the terror never came. Besides, unlike some other haunted attractions, the Haunted Forest serves another purpose than just scaring. The forest benefits the Back to School Teachers Store, which helps provide local teachers with free supplies, making the $12 worth it. While I didn’t find it too spooky, it was a good more than a mile long trail.

Walking up to the Haunted Cave in Lewisburg, Ohio, I wasn’t nervous at all. The creepy laughter and distant screams didn’t bother me. But then I got to the entrance of the cave. “You will be touched,” a sign read. “You will get wet.” Instantly, I transformed from a burly, bearded man to a squirmy toddler. First off, it’s not a haunted house; it’s a cave 80 feet underground. An abandoned mine with more than 30,000 bats is scary enough, but when the cave adds people covered in fake blood with grabby hands into the equation, it turns into a completely new game. It wasn’t long into the cave that I let out my first scream. It starts on a shaky bridge surrounded by complete darkness. Not knowing what to expect, I strutted along the bridge like a runway model until someone grabbed my ankle

and sprayed my leg with water. I was done. Thirty seconds in, and I was ready to turn around, get my $16 back and drive home. But, I stuck it out for the next hour and 15 minutes. I’m glad I did. Yes, I was scared. Yes, I was clutched to by my roommate the entire time, but it was the best haunted “house” I have ever been to. Not only were the actors creepy, and the sets fantastic, but there were a lot of surprises. Spectacular animatronics and insanely realistic projections created a number of scares. My only complaint is the maze was too long. That could be my own doing, but it still took a large group of us almost 30 minutes to find the exit. I would recommend the Haunted Cave to anyone willing to drive an hour from Muncie to be spooked. Just don’t piss your pants, like the clown at the entrance warned. “The bats love the smell of urine, and you will get swarmed,” the clown said.
SPOOKY BEFORE JOLLY have had good response to it,” Zenor said. As for the preparation and money that goes into producing, Zenor said it’s not uncommon for a location to spend more than $2 million in six weeks. In March, he attended TransWorld, a Halloween convention in St. Louis, and bought props from an attraction that went out of business last year. “TransWorld is sort of like a ‘Star Wars’ convention for Halloween,” Zenor said. “The first year I went, I was just amazed. It’s crazy to see how many haunts there are across the country.” The Haunted Loft takes guests through different rooms, each with a different scene. From a demon baby birth to a butcher table, participants have to watch their back for monsters the whole way. “I have walked out to go check something, and I look up and I’ve been startled by the prop standing there,” Zenor said. “This year, the hair nearly stood on top of my head by being startled.”

was members of Congress trying to use [a disagreement] as an excuse to shut down the government.” Donnelly said he uses his position as an Indiana representative to focus on Indiana and Hoosier jobs, and he doesn’t understand how partisan arguments led to a government shutdown. “This is not about Democrats or Republicans; it is about America,” he said. “It never made any sense to me that we wound up in this situation in the first place.” The bill itself raises the national debt ceiling and require budget negotiations to begin Dec. 13. This push back measure, instead of a permanent solution, has led to concerns that the government may have the same trouble passing a budget in December. “Look, this is not about anything other than making sure our nation [and] the people
PASSED: Many government officials feared economic impact of default “The compromise we reached will provide our economy with the stability it desperately needs,” said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, declaring that the nation “came to the brink of disaster” before sealing an agreement. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, who negotiated the deal with Reid, emphasized that it preserved a round of spending cuts negotiated two years ago with Obama and Democrats. As a result, he said, “government spending has declined for two years in a row” for the first time since the Korean War. “And we’re not going back on this agreement,” he added. Only a temporary truce, the measure set a time frame of early this winter for the next
likely clash between Obama and the Republicans over spending and borrowing. But for now, government was lurching back to life. Within moments of the House’s vote, Sylvia Mathews Burwell, director of the Office of Management and Budget, issued a statement saying “employees should expect to return to work in the morning.” After weeks of gridlock, the measure had support from the White House, most if not all Democrats in Congress and many Republicans fearful of the economic impact of a default. Boehner and the rest of the top GOP leadership told their rank and file in advance they would vote for the measure. In the end, Republicans split 144 against and 87 in favor. All 198 voting Democrats
GREEK LIFE ASKS SGA FOR $6,000 BY DRAFTING BILL
Co-sponsorship committee to adjust legislation before returning to Senate RACHEL PODNAR CHIEF REPORTER school year includes $37,447 | rmpodnar@bsu.edu for co-sponsorship, $20,000 A bill is in the works that would require Student Government Association to reserve $6,000 in its cosponsorship budget for Greek Life. During the Student Senate meeting Wednesday afternoon, the Greek Life CoSponsorship Allocation bill was introduced by its authors, sophomore marketing major Jacob Cash and senior business administration major Jonathan Wolfschlag. “Typically, [SGA] sets aside around $4,000 for the Big Four [diversity organizations], whereas we have a higher population,” Cash said. “We would like to have it in writing so we can definitely have that amount, if not more.” They anticipate the money would be split evenly between the four greek councils to be allocated evenly to each chapter for recruiting purposes. Cash and Wolfschlag said Greek Life needs to have this money to help with recruiting, especially for any new chapters that want to open on Ball State’s campus. SGA treasurer Kevin Mullaney said in previous years, SGA usually has spent around $5,000 to $6,000 of its cosponsorship budget on greek organizations, co-sponsoring philanthropy events or leadership development. The SGA budget for this
of which is spent out of the Campus Activity Fund, managed by Jennifer Jones-Hall, director of student life. According to SGA Cosponsorship Guidelines, all requests for funds must be approved by the co-sponsorship committee, which is made up of the treasurer and one member of each of the four SGA caucuses. Events must be free of charge, take place on campus and be open to the entire student body to secure SGA co-sponsorship funds. Freshman urban planning major James Wells objected to the bill during the discussion time. “It doesn’t say how it would specifically help each sorority or fraternity,” Wells said. “I think Greek Life has done well without money for recruiting. I don’t think SGA should do anything to help Greek Life recruitment.” In Fall 2008, about 8.2 percent of undergraduate students were in Greek Life, compared to about 10 percent in Spring 2012. After an extended period of discussion, the SGA Senate voted 18-14-1 to send the bill to the co-sponsorship committee. Vice president Alyssa France said now that the bill has moved to the co-sponsorship committee, they will work on the bill and bring it back to the Senate.
were supporters. Final passage came in plenty of time to assure Obama’s signature before the administration’s 11:59 p.m. deadline tonight. That was when Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew said the government would reach the current $16.7 trillion debt limit and could no longer borrow to meet its obligations. Tea party-aligned lawmakers who triggered the shutdown that began on Oct. 1 said they would vote against the legislation. Significantly, though, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and others agreed not to use the Senate’s cumbersome 18th-century rules to slow the bill’s progress. In remarks on the Senate floor, Cruz said the measure was “a terrible deal” and criticized fellow Republicans for lining up behind it.

He said politicians, especially state representatives, have the idea that their party is more than likely to win. According to a survey by opensecrets.org, 90 percent of seats in the House of Representatives were won by those who previously occupied them in 2012. For Congress, 91 percent of the seats were returning members.

thing done,” said Gabe Valli, a freshman marketing major. “The debt ceiling shouldn’t be raised anyway, we need to do something about spending.” Reagan said the new piece of legislation will look to create a framework for action, so the government will not have the chance to run up against deadlines as it has in the past. Although, he said, things like this have been attempted and failed in the past, the most recent of which was sequestration. He said these across the board spending cuts, that took effect Jan. 1, were supposed to be “so unpalatable that that horrible thing would force them to come to a compromise.” “We see that didn’t work,” Reagan said. “The details [of the new plan] would be different but the logic may be the same.”

Turnovers fuel big play defense After forcing just 14 takeaways in 2012, team already has 18 MAT MIKESELL CHIEF REPORTER | @MatMikesell Ball State defensive coordinator Jay Bateman isn’t looking at Western Michigan University’s 0-7 record as he and his defense prepare for the upcoming game Saturday. Instead, he’s looking at the best way to go after the Broncos’ offense — forcing them to turn the ball over. Fortunately for Ball State, Western Michigan turns the ball over quite a bit. “They’ve had some bad decisions throwing the ball and some bad luck,” Bateman said. Western Michigan is tied for 121st in Football Bowl Subdivision with a turnover margin of -12, tied with Western Kentucky
University. The only team in FBS with a worse turnover margin is Southern Mississippi University, with a margin of -13. Western Kentucky is 4-3 on the season, and Southern Miss. is 0-5. The Broncos have thrown 15 interceptions this season, 10 by senior Tyler Van Tubbergen and five by freshman Zach Terrell. The inconsistent play at quarterback has led to head coach P.J. Fleck having to rotate Van Tubbergen and Terrell. Terrell got the start and played the entire game in a 33-0 loss to Buffalo in Western Michigan’s most recent game, but Ball State is preparing as if the more experienced quarterback will get the start Saturday. “[Van Tubbergen] gives them a little bit more of a chance,” Bateman said. “But it’s not like if Terrell is out there we’ll be like ‘yes.’” The two Broncos quarterbacks have similar skill sets as pocket
quarterbacks, which makes preparing for both of them easier. Last season, former quarterback Alex Carder was injured leading up to Ball State’s game against Western Michigan. But no matter who’s at quarterback for Western Michigan, the focus will still be to create turnovers, an area Ball State has improved greatly on this season. The Cardinals had only 14 takeaways all of last season. Through seven games this season, the team is tied for third in FBS with 18 takeaways. Only Tulane University and Middle Tennessee State University’s 20 takeaways are better. “Our focus point has been turnovers,” cornerback Jeff Garrett said. “It’s the biggest thing we talk about and we try to get better at that each game.” Bateman said his defense spends more time in practices on how to cause turnovers, es-

pecially ripping the ball away from the ball carrier. The results have been productive thus far, and Bateman said causing turnovers is contagious. “It’s like a competition almost,” Bateman said. “One guy will go ‘you got two interceptions, now I’m going to go get one.’”
Even against the winless Western Michigan team, the focus and preparation is as if the opponent was undefeated. “We treat it like any other game,” Garrett said. “They’re 0-7, but that doesn’t matter. They’re coming into this game to win just like we are.”
WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL
MAC East teams present difficult road test Shondell doesn’t believe games hold extra importance
|
DAVID POLASKI ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR @DavidPolaski
There will be no lull in the schedule, no chance for Ball State to wander into a trap game. Facing off against two of the top teams in the Mid-American Conference West last weekend apparently wasn’t
enough for the women’s volleyball team. A road trip east is in order for the team, who will travel to Kent State University Friday and then take on Ohio University Saturday. Ohio boasts a 15-3 record and leads the conference with a .833 winning percentage. They’re also tied with Ball State in conference play at 5-1. The only MAC loss Ohio suffered was at the hands of Kent State. Despite the resume the two opponents have put together, Ball State head coach
Steve Shondell hasn’t circled the games on his schedule with red pen. “One game is never more important than another,” he said. “Every conference game only counts as one so I can’t value them differently.” The Golden Flashes have won their last three matches, but still lack the offensive punch needed to make noise in the conference. The team ranks just 11th out of 12 in hitting percentage at .185 and are sixth in kills. Shondell said when he looks at box scores, he
considers anything above .300 impressive. It’s a matchup Ball State will look to take advantage of considering the strong defense it has played all season. Ball State ranks second in the MAC in opponent’s hitting percentage, just .001 percent behind the University at Buffalo. Even without imposing numbers, Kent State has still managed to win, but Shondell doesn’t want to over hype the game. “We still have to play 16 matches,” Shondell said. “Kent State and Ohio are just
two out of the 16.” That may be tough for him to sell to his players. The last time Ball State played Ohio, Shondell’s team was shut out 3-0 in the first round of the MAC Tournament, its title hopes crushed. Even with the memories of the loss fresh on its mind, Ball State will still have its hands full in Athens, Ohio. The Bobcats have lost just once at home, a 3-2 game against No. 24 University of North Carolina. Definitely not a trap game for Ball State.

TESTING HER METAL Four metalsmith women show work in Atrium gallery HOWE 72HRS EDITOR | RYAN rhowe@bsu.edu
Patricia Nelson stood in the back room of Art and Journalism Building Room 123, dipping her hands in a tub of sulfuric acid. Her yellow latex gloves and tattered denim shirt showed the wear and tear that comes with working as a metalsmith nearly seven days a week. Her hard work does not go unnoticed. Her work is displayed in the renovated Atrium Gallery. The “Three Plus One” exhibit showcases the work of four recognized women metalsmiths. The show will stay on display through Oct. 25 and will feature metal work ranging from jewelry, sculptures and tools Tomorrow at 4 p.m., all of the artists will be at the Atrium talking with visitors about their work. President Jo Ann Gora will also be there to speak. Mary Lee Hu, one featured artist, submitted work from her personal collection. Through the pieces, she showcases her evolution as an artist. She submitted various pieces that deal with wire twining. “Pat was the one that came up with the idea of showing work that shows the changes we have been through with
our career,” Hu said. Nelson knows a bit about change. As she grew up, Nelson wanted to be a fashion designer. Once she started taking art classes in high school, she changed her focus. She left college with a nursing degree but continued to produce art as she worked as a registered nurse. She went back to school and earned a degree in metalsmithing from the University of Washington. After graduation, she moved to Muncie. “Since then, I’ve been rooted here at Ball State in the program,” Nelson said. “Well, we changed buildings in 2001, but other than that, I’ve been in the same place.” Nelson came to Ball State more than 30 years ago and has been the only metalsmith instructor since the early 80s. “I accepted the job for the fabulous Indiana weather, obviously,” Nelson said. “But really, it was a great opportunity, and I didn’t want to pass it up.” For more than 60 semesters, Nelson has watched every metalsmith major come and go through her classes and watched how metalsmithing has changed over time. For students, Nelson is more than an instructor. As she dipped her hands into the tubs of chemicals, she explained the process to Noelle Wiegand, a sophomore metals major. Wiegand followed her lead, dipping insect wings

Atrium Gallery, AJ 101 made of aluminum. “She’s always around to help us out if we need it, even on weekends,” Wiegand said. “This is only my first class with her, but I am excited to take more. She has a really good bond with the older metal majors, and I can tell it’s a great program.” The show is the first of an annual series to show the multiple concentrations offered by the School of Art, said Thomas Riesing, director of the School of Art. “We recently changed the art program’s name to the School of Art, which is more descriptive,” Riesing said. This exhibit is the first of 11 that will showcase and publicize the programs available through the School Of Art. Nelson was a no-brainer to start off the show, Riesing said. “As someone who has been with us for over 30 years, she is a great representation of the School of Art,” he said.
