Indiana excise police arrested or cited 45 people over the weekend, more than during this month’s Homecoming celebrations. As stated in a press release, officers arrested or cited 28 people Saturday night while patrolling the area around campus.. Charges included illegal possession and consumption of alcohol, illegal transportation of alcohol, drug related offenses and various traffic violations. Many of those cited were not arrested, but instead issued summons to appear in Muncie City Court. Officers arrested Danny Songer, 22, of Muncie, on a preliminary felony charge of intimidation of law enforcement and the preliminary misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct and public intoxication. Police took him to Delaware County Jail. Police arrested Songer late Friday night at the intersection of Linden and Carson streets where police allege he was holding a bottle of vodka and shouting obscenities directed at officers. Excise police said he was still shouting obscenities when police approached him from behind, according to the statement. Police said Songer threatened to harm the arresting officer and his family once he was released from jail. Police issued an additional 18 summons at tailgating for Saturday’s football game against Akron. Seventeen people were issued citations for illegal possession and one person was also issued a citation for possession of false identification. – STAFF REPORTS
FATHER OF ASSISTANT COACH DIES AT 60 Former NCAA men’s basketball head coach and father of current Ball State men’s basketball assistant coach Dan Peters has died at age 60. “He was an awesome man. I greatly respect him. He was a good coach, a great friend and the best thing he did was be a dad,” Ball State basketball coach James Whitford said. “I loved watching him with his family. We all knew it was coming but it’s a sad day nonetheless.” Peters served as director of basketball operations at Akron from 2009 until December 2013, after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Ball State hired Peters’ son, Danny Peters, in June. – MATT MCKINNEY

Ball State show heads to East Coast Broadway actors to perform student produced musical TAYLOR WEDDLE STAFF REPORTER | tcweddle@bsu.edu When she wrote the novel “Circus in Winter,” Ball State professor and assistant chair of the English department Cathy Day had no idea Broadway actors would perform it. In 2010, 14 students in an immersive learning project created a musical production based on the novel. In 2012, the next class produced the play at the University Theatre. “I just thought it was some class project,” Day said. “As soon as I came to visit, heard the music and saw what they had even early on, I knew that it was really something special.” The original novel was published in 2004 and was based on circus owner Wallace Porter and his cast in Lima, Ind. “I think we were all hopeful that it was going to be successful,” said John Jensen, who graduated in 2010

5 THINGS TO KNOW
1. NEW JERSEY RELEASES QUARANTINED NURSE NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — A nurse who worked in West Africa with Ebola patients and was quarantined at a New Jersey hospital over the weekend returned home to Maine on Monday as her lawyer criticized the state’s policies that had the woman fighting to be released from an isolation tent. State health officials said Saturday that Kaci Hickox tested negative for Ebola. Hickox left the hospital around 1:20 p.m. Monday, to be taken to Maine, where she lives, hospital officials said. In various media interviews, Hickox
called her treatment “inhumane” and “completely unacceptable” after she became the first person forced into the state’s mandatory quarantine, announced Friday by Gov. Chris Christie for people arriving at Newark Liberty International Airport from three West African countries. “We are pleased that the state of New Jersey has decided to release Kaci. They had no justification to confine her,” said Norman Siegel, the prominent New York civil rights attorney Hickox hired while she was quarantined.

WASHINGTON (AP) — While Congress mulls over how to curtail the NSA’s collection of Americans’ telephone records, impatient civil liberties groups are looking to legal challenges already underway in the courts to limit government surveillance powers. Three appeals courts are hearing lawsuits against the phone records program, creating the potential for an eventual Supreme Court review. Judges in lower courts, meanwhile,
BOSTON (AP) — Jurors in the federal trial of a friend of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (joh-HAHR’ tsahr-NEYE’-ehv) have ended a fifth day of deliberations without reaching a verdict. Robel Phillipos is accused of lying about being in Tsarnaev’s dorm room three days after the deadly bombing, when two other friends removed a backpack containing fireworks and other potential evidence.
are grappling with the admissibility of evidence gained through the NSA’s warrantless surveillance. “The thing that is different about the debate right now is that the courts are much more of a factor in it,” said Jameel Jaffer, deputy legal director at the American Civil Liberties Union. He said courts were generally relegated to the sidelines of the discussion. Now, judges are poised to make major decisions on at least some of the matters.
Phillipos’ lawyers say he couldn’t clearly remember what happened because he had smoked marijuana heavily that day. Jurors went home for the day Monday to return Tuesday. Since they began Oct. 21, they have spent more than 33 hours deliberating. Tsarnaev is awaiting trial on 30 federal charges and could face the death penalty if convicted. He has pleaded not guilty.
5. HONG KONG PROTESTORS AT STANDSTILL HONG KONG (AP) — The leaders of Hong Kong’s pro-democracy protests on Sunday canceled a vote on what the next step should be in their monthlong street occupation, saying they hadn’t properly consulted with the demonstrators before calling the referendum.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Next year’s Indiana State Fair will celebrate the state’s farmers and agricultural heritage. Fair officials announced the plans Monday for the 2015 fair, with the theme “Year of the Farmer.” The fair has highlighted agricultural products such as popcorn, tomatoes, pigs, soybeans and dairy cows in previous years, but organizers want to feature the stories of farmers. Fair director Cindy Hoye said she hopes fair visitors will gain an understanding about how much farmers contribute to average citizens’ daily lives. Events planned include a harvest dinner, a speaker series about modern agriculture and a creative writing contest for children about farmers. Next year’s fair is scheduled for Aug. 7-23.

The two-day vote, which had been scheduled for Sunday and Monday, was supposed to have gauged the protesters’ support for counterproposals to offers made by Hong Kong’s government following talks last week between student protest leaders and authorities.

Transfer brings experience Davis embraces leadership role return to Muncie following career at Cincinnati ANTHONY FLETCHER STAFF REPORTER

Jeremiah Davis, seen above practicing with Zavier Turner, is in his first season at Ball State after transferring from the University of Cincinnati. Davis is a Muncie native and wanted to be near his family after a house fire, prompting his return to Muncie.
The Ball State men’s basketball season doesn’t begin until Nov. 14 at Utah, but newcomer Jeremiah Davis is already thinking of putting banners in the rafters of Worthen Arena. “Hopefully, we try to get as many wins as we can and win Ball State a championship,” Davis said. Davis transferred from the University of Cincinnati last year, after a fire burned down his family’s home in Muncie. After talking with Ball State men’s basketball head coach James Whitford, Davis decided to join the team. “Coach Whitford is a great person. We both have common goals and common interests,” Davis said. “The players are great, and I make sure I show the freshmen how to compete in practice.” Since joining the team last spring, Davis has used his experience from playing at Cincinnati to help establish himself as a leader in practice. “He worked his tail off all summer,” Whitford said. “He’s doing a great job for me. I couldn’t be more pleased.” In 27 games as a freshman at Cincinnati, Davis averaged 7.9 minutes per game, contributing to a team that reached the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament. “[Jeremiah] brings leadership and experience, [having played] at the highest level in college basketball at Cincin-
NFL:
Q: Y ou were close to having your first career touchdown, but the play got called back. How hard was it to miss out on that? A: “ It was crazy. It happened to me at Ball State, too, so it’s happening everywhere I go. I scored against Army in 2012 and they took it back. Hey, it’s all right man. I’m just out there having fun. When I looked at the play and they called it back, I realized just how much fun I was out there having. It’s crazy. I thought making the NFL would make it harder — as far as my focus and being able to compete — but the transition hasn’t been hard at all.” Q: Y ou’ve gone from being a fan to being a part of the game and part of a team. What has that transition been like? A: “ It’s good. Just coming from Ball State, where I was a fulltime starter and never coming off the field, to never really playing three in a row and coming off the field a lot, it makes it harder to get a feel for the game. Coach [Chuck] Pagano has told me to keep doing what I’m doing, to keep doing well, and I’d start seeing more playing time. That’s happened these last few weeks, and I’ve been going hard in practice and giving these guys a good look. I’m ready whenever they call my name. They’re big on that here … Next man up.” Q: S o you’ve gotten a lot of playing time because of injuries and other things, and that’s all positive. What has your biggest challenge been to this point? A: “ It’s honestly not been a big challenge for me. I just expect to go in and play well, because I work hard every day and play with confidence. It’s not a huge challenge, I’m just ready for the opportunity. I guess the biggest challenge is overcoming nerves and this being my first go-around. Even with that, I’m not nervous about anything. I’m not worried, I’m just going out and playing the game I’ve been playing since I was, what, 10 years old? It’s the same game.” Q: F rom what I understand, you got a pretty sizable signing bonus, so what are some things you’ve been able to do financially? How are you managing that money? A: “ We get paid in the regular season, but in the offseason, we don’t get any money. You’ve got to be smart, but it’s a lot of money; a lot more money than some people are making straight out of college, so it’s a really good amount of money. It’s changed my entire life. I’ve given my mom money to where she feels comfortable for the first time in her life, she’s been able to live a little bit. I was able to get myself a car, you know, I’ve been getting rides for two years at Ball State, but I was able to go buy a 2015 [Dodge] Challenger. I’ve taken care of my sister, so she’s going to be the popular kid at school, I guess. I’m able to help my grandparents out. It’s been a blessing to myself and my family. I’ve been able to change my life and the lives around me.”

nati,” freshman Jeremie Tyler said. “Jeremiah comes to practice early every day with a mentality that he’s going to lead a team.” Sophomore guard Kaleb Mallory has been familiar with Davis’ leadership abilities since high school, with both players attending Muncie Central. Mallory was a freshman when Davis was a senior. “He brings a competitive nature to practice and tries to lift everybody up,” Mallory said. “He tries to get everyone involved and is really smart with the basketball.” Davis was named The Star Press Athlete of the Year for high school boy’s basketball in 2009-10, averaging 16.3 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.8 assist and two steals per game. While he’s at Ball State, Davis is determined to be the best teammate he can be. “I try to compete every day ... and make everybody better,” Davis said. “I want to get everybody on the same page and be the best leader that I can.”

WENNING Q: How different is the physical aspect from college? A: “ It’s really similar. We lift three days a week and then practices are two and a half hours every day. At this level if you get injured, it might be your job, so I think part of it is making sure you’re healthy and ready to go.” Q: NFL contracts aren’t guaranteed. What kind of things are you doing to make sure you’re financially stable beyond an NFL job? A: “ It’s hard to say. For some guys it’s a week-to-week basis where they’re cut and some other guy is in. I think all you can really do is control what you can control. You’ve got to do your best every day and work hard. Whatever happens, happens. I think you worry about that when your time comes.” Q: With Thursday Night Football and other primetime games, how cool is it to experience that from the field? A: “ It’s a great experience but you’re not really a fan like you were last year. I’m around it every day and it feels like it’s my job, and I’m here to do my routine every day. It’s fun to be on the sideline — you don’t take it for granted — but you don’t think of it as more than it being your job.” Q: You’ve gone from being The Guy at Ball State to being a role-playing, practice-squad guy in Baltimore. What can you learn from that kind of experience? A: “ I think you have to start over. When I first got here, it was like being a freshman again. You’re not the No. 1 guy anymore, so you have to start over and learn from it. You have to get to work and try to prepare like you are The Guy. All you can control is what you do each and every day and how you prepare.” Q: Ball State recently went through a quarterback change, and I know it was kind of a similar thing for you in your freshman year when you took the starting job from Kelly Page. From your experience, what kind of advice do you have for any quarterback jumping into the starting role? A: “ It’s a tough spot for those guys right now. They have all the talent in the world right now and they just can’t get over the hump. As far as the quarterback position, it’s hard to say. You have to prepare week-in and week-out and do all the extra work in the film room and getting guys back out to the field to throw extra passes. That’s stuff I did every day after practice. I felt like if I didn’t do that I wasn’t getting better, I wasn’t improving myself. Whoever the quarterback is has to do that. He has to know he’s important and he’s a leader. It doesn’t matter if you’re a redshirt sophomore or a redshirt junior, or whatever, you can’t see yourself as a young guy. You’ve got to see yourself as a leader.”
The Ball State men’s golf team sits in ninth place after two rounds at the Old Corkscrew Golf Club intercollegiate in Estero, Fla. The Cardinals posted a 299 in the afternoon after a 315 first round score. Only two teams finished with a better score in round two, including No. 1 Florida State. Senior McCormick Clouser leads Ball State individually, as he is tied for seventh. Clouser began the day with a 77, but returned in the second round to post the second-best individual score of the day with a 69. He is four shots off the lead. Freshman Johnny Watts is tied for 39th overall with a score of 154. Senior Zach Yinger and junior James Blackwell both sit at 159, and freshman Michael VanDeventer has posted a 163. The Cardinals return to action Oct. 28 at the Old Corkscrew Golf Club for the third and final round of the tournament. – STAFF REPORTS

Wine Cork
Bath Mat JORDAN HUFFER BORN IN A BALL JAR JORDAN HUFFER IS A SENIOR PHOTOJOURNALISM MAJOR AND WRITES ‘BORN IN A BALL JAR’ FOR THE DAILY NEWS. HER VIEWS DO NOT NECESSARILY AGREE WITH THOSE OF THE NEWSPAPER. WRITE TO JORDAN AT JAHUFFER@BSU.EDU.
T
he bathroom is one of the most important, but sometimes overlooked, rooms in the house. It can be hard to decorate in a room where function is paramount to form. One of the best ways to add style without interrupting your morning routine is with a wine cork bath mat. While the piece is an investment, costing between $40-$70 (because of the corks), it is a one-of-akind piece to add to your bathroom experience.

Disclaimer: I made this mat for the first time though, due to shoddy craftsmanship on my a few years ago after seeing it on the blog part. So this is take two, with some changes Craftynest. It fell apart after a few months being made.
4
MATERIALS • 250-300 wine corks • Non-slip rug liner • Heavy duty glue
• A work surface • Serrated knife
1
Get your corks. Now, before you get excited or scared to drink a few hundred bottles of wine, look on eBay for bulk wine corks. You’re going to need about 300 natural corks for a small mat. Stay away from champagne corks and synthetic wine corks. It never hurts to buy extras, so invest and get a good deal. Or you could just get to drinking. Bottoms up!
2
Saw your wine corks in half lengthwise. For mine, I used half of an electric knife blade, but any serrated knife will work. Go slow and don’t cut yourself. They are not going to be perfectly symmetrical all the time, but try your best to saw right through the center.
3
Lay your non-slip rug liner (I found this one at a discount store for $1.99 in a color that matched my flooring) on a protective surface, like paper or a tarp. You really need to do this because the liner has holes in it, so the glue will go through it. The liner I got was two by three feet, but I cut some off it to fit better into my bathroom. Also, the smaller the rug, the fewer corks you have to buy.
GIANTS REMEMBER ROBIN WILLIAMS SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Robin Williams’ smiling face, in a variety of his most well-loved characters, adorned the big screen at AT&T in a stirring tribute to the late award-winning actor. Zak Williams, the oldest son of the beloved Academy Award winner and comedian, lofted an emotional ceremonial first pitch to Billy Crystal to start game five of the World Series between Williams’ San Francisco Giants and the Kansas City Royals on Sunday night. A special tribute for Williams played on the main center-field scoreboard, featuring highlights of his films as well as photos of him from various visits to the ballpark — one with home run king Barry Bonds and Hall of Famer Willie Mays. “We are honored to be here in support of the tribute to our father, someone who loved his hometown and especially the Giants,” Williams’ children said in a statement through the Giants. “For all of us, it is a tremendous delight and a little surreal to throw out the ceremonial first pitch of a World Series game for our team to our dad’s best friend. We MCT PHOTO could not think of a better way to celebrate his memory. Let’s go Giants!” Flowers and memorabilia are piled on Robin Williams’ Hollywood Walk of Williams, who lived in nearby Marin County, died Aug. 11 of an apparent Fame star in Los Angeles on Aug. 12, a day after he was found dead from an apparent suicide. suicide. He was 63.
To glue a cork onto the liner, cover the flat edge in glue, then press it to the liner. I would use a heavy duty glue as opposed to hot glue. Start by making a border around the edge of the liner, one cork deep on each side. Try and get things packed as solid as you can. If you have a variety of corks like I did, they will not all be the same size. You might have gaps, but just let them be — we will address them at the end.
5 6
Keep filling in the border. Again, because the corks are not the same size, you’re going to have some spaces where the corks don’t meet. Let the glue dry, preferably overnight. Using your knife, cut any remaining corks in pieces to fit into the holes. Glue them into place the same way you did the others. Let them dry.
7 8
Carefully peel off the mat from the work area. If any pieces fall off, glue them back on.
You can seal your mat if you like. I didn’t seal mine, and, while it got a little dingy over time, it didn’t deteriorate or anything. Someone on the blog from which I got this idea expressed concern about mold, but as long as it’s not in standing water, I wouldn’t worry about it. To clean it, I take a soapy cleaning brush to it, then rinse it out in the shower.
COUNTRY SINGER BRINGS NEW SOUND
(AP) — Taylor Swift’s all-out move into pop music on her fifth album, “1989,” is the sound of a young artist who has gradually evolved from a teenager obsessed with boys and journal writing into a young woman embracing life in New York and stepping to a new beat. “Shake It Off,” her first single, was a fun introduction to the new Swift sound, but it’s the most lighthearted track on “1989,” which sweeps from the rocking confrontation of “Bad Blood” to the delicate “This Love” to the Lana Del Ray retronoir of “Wildest Dreams.” Taylor still flirts playfully at times, as in “How You Get the Girl,” but more often she comes off as guarded, more apprehensive and more realistic in her views on relationships. Heavy on bass, drum loops and electronic sounds and using harmonic vocals as a form of rhythm, Swift mixes beats and melody in search of a classic pop model of her own. At times she clips her words sharply against the beats, while still occasionally speaking words to establish intimacy. But she also opens and sings like she rarely has.

Weather induces fear, says study Mother, daughter research reactions to severe conditions
|
LAURA ARWOOD STAFF REPORTER llarwood@bsu.edu
After growing up with a father who had a fear of severe weather, one Ball State professor decided to study the phobia with her mother. Geography professor Jill Coleman and her mother Karen Multon, professor of counseling psychology at Kansas University, published a study, named “Weathering the Storm: Revisiting Severe-Weather Phobia” on phobias to adverse weather, such as tornadoes, hurricanes, wildfires, thunder-

storms and blizzards. “[My] dad has been a little bit of an inspiration for this research, beginning several years ago. My father is a selfdescribed severe weather phobic,” Coleman said. “He lives in Kansas so every time he sees thunderstorm watches and warnings in the area he is glued to the TV.” Coleman said that her father often cancels plans at the possibility of rain or lightning. Growing up, Coleman remembered her dad sleeping on the couch in front of the TV when there was a chance of a storm. “This is an irrational fear that inhibits any or some parts of their daily lives,” Coleman said. The research began as a collaboration between mother and daughter, sparked by two of Multon’s doctoral students who
wanted to study phobias. Multon suggested they narrow the field down to phobia of weather. “It was a way for my mother and I to really work on something together; we are really in two different fields. We really got to come together on this,” Coleman said. The research involved a self-assessed survey of 300 Americans. Coleman said those surveyed represented the U.S. population as far as proportion, age and race. The research began in summer of 2013 and was published in the Bulletin of American Meteorology. The criteria for a severe weather phobia were characterized by obsessively checking the weather, canceling or moving plans based on the chance of a storm and preferring to stay inside if adverse
weather may occur. Some may exhibit physical symptoms, such as dizziness, nausea and sweaty palms. “Our research showed it to be around one in 10 were affected by this phobia,” Coleman said. “The phobia is prevalent. It will be really interesting to see this researched further.” Kelcey Hall, a senior dietetics major, said she understands fear associated with weather. “I’ve lived in Indiana, but I’ve also lived in Miami, Fla., and that definitely affected me,” Hall said, who said prior to living in Miami, she had only encountered snow, ice and thunderstorms. “We’ve had to go to our basement here but it was really nothing. I swam [at the University of Miami] and our afternoon
practices in the summer were always canceled. It was the same time every day that it would storm,” Hall said. Even though Hall never encountered an actual hurricane, she experienced thunderstorms, flooding and damage brought on by storms. “I lived on the third floor of an apartment building by myself. The winds were so bad that day it was rattling the windows. This huge branch blew onto my balcony. I packed up [my dog], some food and clothes and we went to my friend’s house,” Hall said. “I really hate driving in rain now. I’ll go to any length to avoid it.” June Payne, director of counseling and health services, said a person may not have to experience severe weather first-hand to feel the

effects of its trauma. “The weather is covered three times an hour, and we’re told this is what we need to worry about. In addition, we see a wildfire, or a tornado, and the aftermath, and we may experience something we call vicarious trauma. This may not have happened to us but we become fearful that it will, and this intensifies and certainly exacerbates a phobia,” Payne said.
| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Clark said they are still making changes to the show. “It’s a slightly different show every single night, so you’ll see what works and what doesn’t,” he said. He said they added a narrator to the cast to engage the audience, and altered some names and personality traits. Emily Behny, a 2010 graduate and former student in the project, said a soundtrack might be recorded for the production to gain more followers. Still, the performance has a long way to go before it can actually be presented on Broadway. “Many new shows are in development for 10 years or more before reaching this stage, so ‘Circus’ is way ahead of schedule,” she said. “I think the plan is to produce it in another regional house and then perhaps transfer it to an off-Broadway house, but of course that could change.”
