hen Alayna Davidson saw a man dancing at Frog Baby, her first instinct was to pull out her phone and snap a picture. After the sophomore architecture major got a suitable photo, she approached him, asking why he was dancing. “I dance because I can say what I want to say without saying anything,” he said. Davidson jotted this down, already planning to upload the photo and quote to her Humans of Ball State Instagram page later that day, which she started in September as a personal project. The project was inspired by the Humans of New York website, which started in 2010 and showcases photos of everyday people in New York and includes a blurb about their lives. “With my major, I don’t get to do a lot of things I just can do for myself, and in high school I took a photography class and really loved it,” she said.
Defense forces 5 takeaways against conference opponent DAVID POLASKI CHIEF REPORTER | @DavidPolaski
The Ball State football team’s defense needed a spark coming out of halftime, after allowing 21 points in the first two quarters to an offense that only averaged 22 a game. Five turnovers will swing momentum pretty quickly. Ben Ingle, Zack Ryan, Tyree Holder and Eric Patterson all recorded second-half interceptions, while Quintin Cooper recovered a muffed punt, clamping TEAM COMPARISON Ball State Akron down on an offense Score 21 that gave them fits 35 225 Passing yards 200 during the first 30 155 Rushing yards 125 minutes. Total yards 325 “It’s our players 380 First downs 20 doing their assign- 22 0 Turnovers 5 ments and being in the right spot,” 29:51 Time of possession 30:09 SOURCE: ESPN.com Ryan said. “There’s going to be some luck involved. Five turnovers, that’s a lot.” Early in the third quarter, Ingle dropped back into coverage and tipped a pass into the air with his right hand. He followed the ball and it fell into his hands as he fell to the ground, forcing Ball State’s first turnover of the game. With Akron driving just minutes later, Zips quarterback Tommy Woodson had a clean pocket, but underthrew his receiver. Ryan leapt into the air and snared the interception, returning it to the Akron 38-yard line. Before Akron had a chance to catch its breath, Ball State took the ball away twice. “It was a great reaction by [Ingle] to get his hand up, and I believe we tipped a couple balls in the game too,” Ball State head coach Pete Lembo said.
Davidson said she searches for people who look like they have stories to tell. “I find inspiration in what people bring,” she said. “I trust my gut more than anything. If I just feel it, I go with it.” A few weeks into her project, Davidson’s friend texted her and told her there was a Humans of Ball State Facebook page as well. Davidson messaged the owner of the page, Dan Jacobsen, a sophomore telecommunications major. She asked if he would want to collaborate with her, and he did. She said they are starting to merge the two pages together, but since they just decided to work together, they aren’t clear on most of the details yet. When Jacobsen started the page in October, he didn’t know there was already an Instagram profile with the same name. He started it because he was intrigued by the idea of doing something
similar to Humans of New York. He said since Ball State has a large population, he thought it would be a good idea to make a Humans of Ball State page. His first post was of a friend of his who walks around campus barefoot and plays the ukulele. “I thought he’d be someone who’s really interesting who people would want to know about … and it kind of took off,” Jacobsen said. He said he thought Ball State students would be interested in knowing about each other, even if they might not know the person. “[On] Humans of New York … you see quotes that tell a story about a person that you would have never known if you hadn’t seen that quote,” Jacobsen said. “I think this is a good way to learn about people on campus.”

Trailing 21-19 in the fourth quarter to Akron, Ball State had just blocked a punt to swing momentum. After quarterback Jack Milas found Dylan Curry for 24 yards down the middle of the field, the Cardinals were in position to take their first lead since the score was 3-0 early in the first quarter. Milas took the snap and faked a handoff to Jahwan Edwards. He took the ball himself and sprinted to the left and into the end zone for what would end up being the game-winning touchdown.

Jordan Williams is to the right, Chris Shillings is in the slot to Milas’ left, and KeVonn Mabon is to the left of Shillings.

At the snap, Edwards runs to the right and Milas puts the ball on his chest. At this point, Milas reads the defense and can choose whether to give the ball to Edwards, or take it himself. Milas sees that the entire defense has committed to stopping the run, so he pulls the ball from Edwards’ arms. Curry breaks to the left and picks up a defender who is coming around the left side of the line.

| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 The mistakes kept coming for Akron. Leading 21-19, the Zips’ defense forced a punt, expecting to get the ball back. Instead, returner Imani Davis muffed the punt, and Cooper was in position to recover. Two plays later, Ball State quarterback Jack Milas ran into the end zone to give his team a lead it wouldn’t relinquish. On Akron’s next possession, Ball State blocked a punt and scored another touchdown. Woodson then began trying to force the ball downfield against a defense that was already making a knack for forcing turnovers on the day. Holder undercut and jumped a route to Woodson’s left, picking off the pass and returning the ball to the Akron six-yard line.
The Cardinals were taking advantage of a young, inexperienced quarterback who seemed indecisive at times and was trying to do too much. In his final gasp, Woodson tried forcing a pass to his left, this time intercepted by Patterson, effectively ending the game. Woodson is Akron’s backup quarterback. Starter Kyle Pohl didn’t play, despite being medically cleared from his concussion suffered two weeks ago. “Reality is when you get to be a starting quarterback, the ball gets put in your hands,” Akron head coach Terry Bowden said. “There are good things you can do and bad things. Some of the decisions weren’t wise.” The Cardinals won the game 35-21, bringing their conference record to 2-2. Ball State has forced 10 turnovers in its last two games.

Milas follows the block that Curry is setting, overwhelming his defender. Seeing open running room, he bounces to the left of Curry and sprints untouched into the end zone for the touchdown.
In its last road game of the regular season, the Ball State soccer team defeated Akron 4-2. Ball State jumped out to an early lead when sophomore Leah Mattingly scored her fourth goal of the season in the seventh minute. After a goal from Akron’s Lani Smith in the 22nd minute, Ball State senior Cailey Starck scored her first goal of the season with a bicycle kick. “You don’t see a goal like that everyday, so it was great to see Starck get that shot,” Ball State head coach Craig Roberts said. The Zips would quickly tie the match coming out of halftime, courtesy of Smith’s second goal of the night. From that point, the Cardinals took control, receiving goals from senior Victoria Jacobs and sophomore Gabby Veldman. “This was a big win for us,” Roberts said. “Now we move on for our last regular season match and the [Mid-American Conference] tournament.” With the win, the Cardinals move to 10-5-2 overall on the season and 6-4 in conference. Ball State also clinches a spot in the MAC tournament, as they sit tied for the West division lead with Eastern Michigan, who hosts the tiebreaker. Ball State will return home to close out the regular season on Thursday, against Miami. Last year, Ball State lost to Miami in the regular season, but defeated them in the MAC tournament semifinals. – ZACH CAINS

Alumni open business in Village Electronic repair shop to offer sales, raffle for grand opening
|
ROSE SKELLY CHIEF REPORTER rmskelly@bsu.edu
MDtekk, a technology repair store, is celebrating its grand opening today in the Village. The store will have sales on cases and technology accessories all day, while the main events will start at 1 p.m. Anyone who purchases something or has a repair done will be entered into a raffle to win a 32-inch Samsung TV. There will also be a ribbon-cutting ceremony with the Muncie Chamber of Commerce. Zachary Marvel, owner of MDtekk and a graduate of Ball State, said that students are needing repairs for their electronics more and more. The business offers screen repairs for iPhones, iPads, iPods, and Galaxy phones and tablets. Marvel and Justin Dunmyer, also a graduate of Ball State, had started the company in August 2013 and opened their second shop in May in Anderson, Ind. “We noticed a demand and a need for an affordable place and a quick place to get your
electronics repaired, [especially] with people using their iPads and tablets for books,” Marvel said. “With these electronics breaking, we realized that there was a large need, especially on a college campus, [for a place] where students can go to a trusted place to get stuff repaired, no funny business.” The store promises 30-minute repairs, as long as the parts are in stock. They also have a 30-day warranty on their repairs. “If it’s clearly something that we did, we will replace it, no cost to you,” said Billy Sutton, an MDtekk employee and sophomore computer technology major. “We’re very customer-oriented … one of the big benefits about coming here is that we’ll make sure you don’t get left without a phone.” Cory Allgood, senior business major, has worked at MDtekk since February. He said the new store’s location was chosen to be more convenient for students. “If your phone breaks, you don’t have to go to the mall or off campus somewhere,” Allgood said. “You could hop on Ball State’s bus to come right to the Village. That’s mainly why we’re here, for the students.”
MDtekk is celebrating its grand opening starting at 1 p.m. today in the Village. Two Ball State alumni own MDtekk, a technology repair store.

University Senate votes to specify failing course grades
New reporting policy to take effect within next academic year

Ball State’s grading system will get more specific in how students fail classes, following an amendment approved by the University Senate Thursday. Once the president signs off

on the changes, students can receive an “FN” or “FS.” FN indicates that a student failed to complete the course by not showing up or completing any assignments. An FS stands for a student who does not officially withdraw from a class, but stops attending and doing the course work. Implementation of the new policy could be next semester or next academic year, Amy Harden, chairperson for University Senate, said. The Senate has requested the early imple-
McPherson, director of scholarships and financial aid, said. With the current policy, if a student does not earn a grade, the office of financial aid has to contact the instructor and inquire why the student did not receive the grade, McPherson said. It is often difficult to get a hold of faculty once grades are posted because they leave for break, he added. Reports to the state and federal government require the university to submit the grades students earn. This

To receive upon request information concerning the instructor’s evaluation of all work done by the student in the course—tests, papers, reports, special projects, etc—which will contribute to the final grade. 3. To know why a grade has been received, including the final grade for the course.

Jacobsen has different techniques than Davidson to find students to feature. “For the most part, I’m just going for average people,” he said. “If someone catches my eye, I’ll stop and ask them a few questions.” The two pages have very different styles, but Davidson said that wouldn’t be a problem. She said she likes how their styles distinguish them. Davidson posts all her photos in black and white and crops them tight on the subject, while Jacobsen’s photos are in full color. “It’s the architecture person coming out in me,” Davidson said. “I’m a very modern, minimalist person and I don’t really like color that much. I think it focuses more on who they are as a person rather than what they’re wearing or the place they are.” Kylie Leonard, a sophomore communications major, was Jacobsen’s fifth photo posted on

The Senate also agreed on the creation of a statement on the importance of diversity and inclusion. The statement expresses the university’s commitments to equal opportunity for students and staff and providing a location of openness for people of different backgrounds. This is Ball State’s first official diversity statement.
