Opponent features top MAC defense

Quarterback to test gunslinger mentality against team that has forced 16 turnovers this season POLASKI CHIEF REPORTER | DAVID @DavidPolaski The quarterback of the Ball State football team, Jack Milas, calls himself a gunslinger. It’s a title given to quarterbacks who push the ball down the field, take chances, aren’t afraid to fire the ball deep and trust their ability to make every throw possible, even if it sometimes results in a turnover. Except Milas hasn’t thrown an interception through his first two games, unlike stereotypical gunslingers. “I’m aggressive, and it’s worked so far,” Milas said. “I can’t abuse it, and up to this point, I don’t think I have.” So far, he’s thrown five touchdowns, and his only turnover is a fumble against Central Michigan. He’ll be facing off against the Akron defense on Saturday, which is allowing the least amount of points per game in the Mid-American Conference by over six points. And they have forced 16 turnovers this season, including just over an interception per game, a gunslinger’s worst nightmare. Going up against a defense that’s taken the ball away from its opponents so frequently doesn’t intimidate Milas, and he doesn’t want to change how he plays because of the potency of the defense. “I haven’t done anything dumb yet,” Milas said. “I have to trust what I know I can do and go full speed.” Offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Joey Lynch watched Milas progress through the last two weeks. He said after the loss to Western Michigan that Milas made some risky throws where receivers helped turn a potentially bad play into a good one. But Lynch has also seen the ability to take broken plays and pull out something special, noting that Milas has the ability to extend plays that seem doomed for failure.

he planetarium went dark, and the $1.2 million projector splashed the night sky onto a large, white dome as benefactors, university employees and invited guests sat in awe at the first show projected in the Charles W. Brown Planetarium at Wednesday’s ribboncutting ceremony. This planetarium replaces the old one and has double the seats and a projector that is

powered by 12 computers and can show 10 million stars in the night sky. Compared to the old planetarium, senior physics major Hayden Wolfe said the new one “blows it out there.” “The old one felt like a hole in the wall, and this one is obnoxiously huge,” Wolfe said. “I could feel myself moving through space.” See PLANET, page 6 PHOTO ILLUSTRATION KRISTA SANFORD

SGA to advocate against sexual assault Student Senate votes for awareness pledge, campus demonstration RAYMOND GARCIA CHIEF REPORTER | ragarcia@bsu.edu

The Step In Speak Up campaign is set to take place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Scramble Light, Student Center Tally and the Letterman Building lobby. SGA senator Bailey Loughlin was first approached by SGA advisor Jennifer Jones-Hall to chair the campaign and said she could not resist the opportunity. “I was more than excited to get involved,” Loughlin said. “Sexual assault awareness and prevention is something I am very passionate about. I think this campaign is an amazing opportunity to bring awareness to the whole campus.” Jones-Hall, who is also assistant vice president for student

The Student Government Association approved a resolution to bring awareness to sexual assault by hosting an awareness campaign Friday. The goal of the Step In Speak Up campaign is to educate students about what they can do to prevent and avoid sexual assault. The final vote for the bill was 44 for approval and one abstention.

affairs, said the White House has held phone conversations with various universities, trying to get them to follow and pay attention to Title XI. “Our vice presidents had been in a phone conversation with the White House and that then sparked them saying, ‘We need to do something Ball State-related when it comes to sexual assault,’” she said. Jones-Hall was then approached to get students involved in the process. She said it is critical to educate all students, faculty and staff on sexual assault. Loughlin said it is important to talk about sexual assault, especially on a college campus.

A breakdown of the positional matchups

Ball State passing game vs. Akron defense Milas has shown promise in his first couple starts at Ball State, but Akron is a completely different opponent than what Western Michigan and Central Michigan showed. Akron is giving up nearly seven points less than the No. 2 team in the MAC and has one of the highest interception totals and by far the most sacks. It’ll take the best day the offense has put together all season for the Cardinals to score consistently on the Zips. Although the talent is there, it’s still inconsistent, while the Akron defense has been hammering opponents all season.

ADVANTAGE:

Ball State offensive line vs. Akron defensive line and linebackers Ball State has had strong pass protection all season, allowing just five sacks so far. Run blocking has been different, as Edwards has struggled to find holes recently, making it tough for him to get a rhythm. The matchup won’t get any easier for Ball State, as the Zips have brought down the quarterback 21 times this season and are allowing just 131.4 yards on the ground per game. Ball State’s offensive line will be ready for the task of slowing down the Akron rush, but this will be a tougher test than they’ve seen all year.

ADVANTAGE:

Ball State rush defense vs. Akron rushing attack

Ball State pass defense vs. Akron passing game

All season, the Cardinals’ rushing defense has struggled, to the tune of giving up 197 yards per game, one of the worst in the MAC. After facing a gauntlet of running backs that consisted of Central Michigan’s Thomas Rawls, Army’s Jarvion Franklin and Toledo’s Kareem Hunt, the Cardinals get a bit of a break. Akron averages just 125 yards on the ground, and leading running back Connor Hudley only averaged 55.8 yards per game. The Akron rushing attack is varied, but Ball State should be able to handle it enough to get the Akron offense off the field and not get gouged for huge plays.

Akron’s Pohl won’t make many mistakes, but works effectively as a game manager and also doesn’t create a lot of big plays. The Zips’ wide receivers will be going up against Patterson, who should be confident after leaving Central Michigan with two interceptions and several tackles. This season, the Akron offense hasn’t shown the potency to strike fear into opponents; rather, they let the defense set the tone before allowing the offense to score enough to win the game. For a Ball State team that’s coming off a big win at Central Michigan, this could be a favorable matchup.

FOOTBALL: Coach says protecting ball key to keeping defense out of bad situations | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Against Central Michigan, Milas dropped a bad snap out of the shotgun and it bounced to his right. Not panicking, he scooped it up and scrambled to his right before finding KeVonn Mabon on the right sideline, who ran for a touchdown. A very gunslinger-like play for a quarterback who prides himself on being able to do exactly that. “He understands that he needs to make plays, but he also can’t make a bad play worse,” Lynch said. “He’s taking some chances and made some tough throws, and if it’s there, we want him to let it rip.” Milas will be expected to take care of the ball against a dangerous Akron secondary and stay calm in the pocket against a set of defensive linemen and linebackers who have combined for a MAC-high 21 sacks. He’s been described as a pure pocket passer, which is difficult to maintain when the pocket is collapsing. When teams get

Major, minor quadruples Education, business place in list of top 10 growing programs

JACQUI SCHLABACH STAFF REPORTER jtschlabach@bsu.edu

The number of students enrolled in the university’s early childhood education major with a special education minor has more than quadrupled in the past year. Eleven students had declared the major and minor in fall 2013, compared to 51 students this semester, according to records from the Office of Institutional Effectiveness. The combination saw the biggest percentage increase in enrollment of the university’s majors, followed by logistics supply chain management, computer technology, teaching major foreign language: Latin, and business marketing education. John Merbler, chairperson of the department of special education and professor of special education, condones high school guidance counselors for being widely knowledgeable on majors that have the most potential before students get to college, like early childhood. Having that personal connection with someone who is deaf or has autism also draws

students into the field. Once at Ball State, Career Services share reports with students of jobs that are in high demand. “Within the past few years, autism has really drawn lots of attention to special education in general. I think that is being reflected in the interest that people are showing and majoring in special education,” Merbler said. “We have a lot of programs, and all of our programs are nationally recognized by the Counsel of Exceptional Children, and that certainly helps us attract students into our program.” Business major enrollment in general is also increasing. Human resource management has seen an 87.8 percent increase in student enrollment. Finance has seen a 37.9 percent increase in student enrollment, with marketing trailing behind with a 26.9 percent increase and accounting with a 19 percent increase from 2013-2014, according to the Office of Institutional Effectiveness. While these majors did not have the largest percentage growth, they were among the top 10 majors with the greatest increases in the number of students enrolled Sushil Sharma, associate dean of Miller College of Business and professor of information systems, said the business degrees are perceived as better for employment opportu-

nities, which in turn draws in students to the majors. Sharma said the business degrees offer more opportunities for jobs. The starting salaries are higher than any other majors, which also sways students to the business program. Sharma highlights that the basic functions in any organization include an accounting department, finance department, marketing department and human resources department. In turn, these majors do not restrict someone from working in one specific industry. Working at companies such as IBM, WalMart or Eli Lilly, for example, all require a finance manager. Sharma said the top jobs seem to be accounting, finance and marketing. They provide steady jobs in terms of demand, and the starting salary ranges from $40,000-$65,000, he said.

“Every company uses these disciplines, that’s why they are more in demand and they open more number of opportunities across the industries. That’s the main part I would like to emphasize,” Sharma said. June Allen, a sophomore prebusiness major, said knowing her major is growing changes her outlook. “Well, honestly, I didn’t even know it was growing. I guess knowing that does put a little more pressure on me to do well in all of my business classes so that I stand out above the rest,” Allen said. Other majors experienced a decline in enrollment between the fall of 2013 and 2014. The pre-physical therapy major experienced an enrollment decline of 83 students, or 43 percent. Although a business major, entrepreneurship lost 23 students, which was 100 percent of their enrollment. Joan Todd, the executive director of public relations, said the university markets the wide range of academic programs to show prospective students what Ball State has to offer. “We want to let prospective students know that we have some very well-known and widely respected programs, but also that they will have a large number of programs from which to choose if they come to Ball State,” Todd said.

Building Tomorrow’s total raised funds is about $2,500, which is less than the current goal of $3,500. Organizers said their goal is to raise enough funds to build one classroom in a 10-room school.

This is the first 5K the Ball State chapter has hosted. Previously, organizers attempted to host a biking event that included stationary bikes. The national organization usually holds Bike to Uganda as a fundraiser, which uses a stationary bike-a-thon to bike the distance from that particular campus to Kampala, Uganda. “We had stationary bikes and people would sign up for times, and it just wasn’t working,” Bowman said. “When we did Bike to Ugan-
