PRINCETON, Ind. – “Soft” is how one Ball State student described President Barack Obama’s hands.

Erica Walsh, a senior economics and logistics and supply chain management major, had the opportunity to shake hands with the president during his Friday visit to Millennium Steel, LLC., for National Manufacturing Day. Walsh is also the president of the College Democrats of Indiana and brought students from the University of Southern Indiana and Purdue to the event.

Obama’s visit included a tour of the Millennium Steel plant, which is a large supplier of raw materials for Toyota, with U.S. Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker, followed by a Q-and-A session with plant employees, community leaders and students.

“I liked how open it was. I like how everyone could ask what they wanted to and it wasn’t a predetermined speech,” Walsh said.

The president mentioned subjects such as raising the minimum wage, lessening the gender pay gap, rebuilding infrastructure and making sure the American manufacturing industry stayed in the lead globally, which meant passing the jobs to younger generations.

Sluggish start puts team in bad position Cardinals fall to 1-4 after dropping 4th consecutive game DAVID POLASKI CHIEF REPORTER | @DavidPolaski After just three plays, the Ball State football team looked flustered.

Against Army on Oct. 4, running back Jahwan Edwards fumbled on the second play from scrimmage.

The Black Knights needed just seven plays to gain the remaining 29 yards and score when quarterback A.J. Schurr barreled his way into the end zone, less than four minutes into the first quarter.

“We’re not as explosive as we were on offense in the past, so we need to play a game where

we’re not giving up cheap scores and turning it over,” Ball State head coach Pete Lembo said.

“Jahwan in four years and literally thousands of touches of the football, you can count the number of times he’s put the ball on the ground on one hand.”

Edwards later made up for the mistake, running for a 56-yard touchdown to tie the score at seven. Army responded with a touchdown less than three minutes later, once again putting Ball State in comeback mode.

It’s more difficult for the Cardinals to play from behind this season. Losses of quarterback Keith Wenning, receivers Willie Snead and Jamill Smith and tight end Zane Fakes from last year’s squad have negatively impacted the offense significantly.

Forcible sex offense reports on Ball State’s campus have more than doubled from eight in 2012 to 17 incidents last year, according to this year’s campus security report released Wednesday.

The university is required to disclose information on campus security and crime every year to comply with the Clery Act. Nine of the 17 incidents disclosed occurred in campus housing.

Burglary has also seen an increase. Last year, the report shows 13 cases, with seven in campus housing. There were four in campus housing and nine total in 2012.

Aside from the increases, the university noted a more than 50 percent reduction in on-campus drug offenses.

This year’s report also included new categories: domestic violence, dating violence and stalking. According to the report, the department of education regulations will not be finalized for these categories until November, but institutions were “requested to make a good faith effort to provide statistics.”

Ball State did not list any incidents of hate crimes on the main campus or any crimes overall at the Indianapolis Center.

OBAMA: President discusses importance of industry | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Aside from Obama’s 22nd wedding anniversary, Friday was the third year for National Manufacturing Day, which was created to target younger people to fill vacant factory jobs and ensure the industry’s continued success.

“We invent stuff faster and better than anyone else, and if we lose this lead, it’s not going to be good,” he said.

Compared to other states, Indiana had the largest percentage of its workforce in manufacturing, followed by Wisconsin and Iowa, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Nationally, in 2012, nine percent of the U.S. workforce was directly employed in manufacturing, and the industry accounted for 12.5 percent of GDP, according to the National Association of Manufacturers.

Obama also mentioned the career opportunities in manufacturing and how it could be

an alternative to college.

“You can make a good living,” he said. “And it doesn’t have to take a four-year degree.”

The president said manufacturing has added 236,000 jobs total, and the unemployment rate is below 6 percent for the first time in six years.

Indiana’s unemployment rate was 5.6 percent as of April 2014, according to the BLS. “We’re going to keep on going until every single person who wants to find a good job out there can get their job and that America is competing against everyone else, so that the 21st century is an American century, just like the 20th century was,” Obama said.

In addition, the president stressed the importance of an educated middle class and announced a challenge from the Department of Defense for a university or research institution to be awarded more than $200 million in public and private investment to create an

Integrated Photonics Manufacturing Institute, according to a press release issued by the White House.

Photonics use light in a wide variety of applications, such as lasers, welding and telecommunications networks. Advances in the technology could also contribute to battlefield imaging and radar systems.

Alongside the Manufacturing Day discussions, Obama also mentioned his healthcare plan. Indiana Governor Mike Pence met Obama at Evansville Airport, where the President expressed his administration’s willingness to work with the state on expanding Medicaid.

“We have ruled out expanding traditional Medicaid, but as I reiterated to the President today, if we have the opportunity to build on the Healthy Indiana Plan to expand coverage the Indiana way, we’re open to doing that,” Governor Pence said. “We talked through a number of issues that have

WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL

Defense steps up in weekend sweep Mid-season changes make difference as season unfolds

|

JAKE FOX ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR @fakejox3

The Ball State women’s volleyball team played at home for the first time since August, defeating Eastern Michigan and Central Michigan in a weekend home stand.

“Our defense has just gotten so much better in the past week.” head coach Steve Shondell said.

“I couldn’t be more proud of [Nikki] Box, [Alex] Fuelling, and [Kati] Vasalakis. They were solid as rocks, and that’s the reason we were so good this weekend.”

The Cardinals have made adjustments all season, but the latest alterations helped earn two important conference victories and improve to 3-1 in MidAmerican Conference play.

In an effort to maximize the toughness of the back row, Shondell moved junior Vasalakis back to libero, the position where she began the season.

Vasalakis made her presence felt in a comeback 3-2 victory over Eastern Michigan. The Yorktown native had a career-high tying 24 digs.

She returned the following night to lead the Cardinal defense with 19 digs, flying all over the court and bringing the crowd to applause on multiple occasions.

“Being put in that [libero] position is a big deal to me, and I take it very seriously,” Vasalakis said. “I know that I’ve got to do the best defensive job and best passing job I can do for this team, because that’s important and that’s what Steve [Shondell] builds this team off of.”

Redshirt junior Fuelling started at libero beginning on Sept. 12, but was moved back to her normal outside hitter and back row position.

Her experience playing on the back row through rotations is valuable for the defense.

Fuelling’s best performance of the weekend came in Ball State’s 3-1 win over Central Michigan, as she posted 15 digs.

Shondell said Fuelling’s presence as a starting outside hitter adds another dimension to the team that was ab-

sent when she was at libero.

“It gave her arm back too,” Shondell said. “When she’s not at libero, she can take swings, and that was something we were missing a little bit is her arm out of the back row.”

Sophomore Box also played well over the weekend, adding to a back row that is quickly becoming a strength for Ball State.

Box finished the weekend with 25 digs, including a career high of 19 against Eastern Michigan on Friday.

Shondell said the match against Eastern Michigan was the team’s most complete and best defensive match all season.

The Cardinals held the Eagles to just a .175 team attack percentage.

While Ball State wasn’t as strong defensively against Central Michigan, it still held the Chippewas to a .159 hitting percentage.

“That was our focus going into this weekend, we knew we were going to pick up our defense and passing,” Vasalakis said. “Our blockers did a great job as well the defense, we made a couple changes and people stepped up.”

Trailing Army 27-24, Ball State was in the midst of a late comeback after scoring 14 points in the fourth quarter. With Army sitting on its 37-yard line, Terry Baggett ripped off a 39-yard run up the middle to change the momentum.

“I could point to a guy executing four out of five times, but the one time he didn’t, it might have cost us,” Ball State head coach Pete Lembo said. “We had some busts with assignments on defense relative to who was taking the dive and the quarterback, and the pitch.”

1 2 3 4 5

Leading 27-24 with 7:05 left in the fourth quarter, Army had the ball in the middle of the field on its 37-yard line. Army quarterback Angel Santiago is under center. Baggett is behind him and to the left, on the 33-yard line. Another running back is lined up directly behind Santiago, and another is behind Santiago and to his right.

Ball State has four defensive linemen, three linebackers and four defensive backs. Linebackers Ben Ingle and Zack Ryan line up on the 41-yard line, a couple of yards apart.

At the snap, Santiago quickly turns and hands off to Baggett, who takes the ball up the middle. He runs into a combination of Ryan and Ingle. Ryan looks to be in position, but gets sucked into a block and is neutralized.

Baggett runs through Ryan and Ingle and breaks free. Defensive end Michael Ayers gives chase but is knocked out of the play on the Ball State 40-yard line.

Defensive backs Gilbert Stlouis and Tyree Holder chase as well.

Holder dives for Baggett’s legs and trips him up, bringing him down as Stlouis simultaneously falls onto Baggett, ending the play on the Ball State 25-yard line.

FOOTBALL: Lack of offensive production places defense in difficult situations | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Now, it’s first-year starter Ozzie Mann running the offense, trying to lead comebacks with a different cast of players.

Against Toledo, Ball State fell behind 7-0 less than two minutes after the game started. With 7:10 left in the first quarter, Toledo made it 13-0 as Kareem Hunt and Logan Woodside sliced through the defense. Just a few minutes later, it was 20-3.

“Guys are out of place, not reading their keys,” linebacker Ben Ingle said. “We didn’t get stops when we needed to, it was undisciplined football.”

In the last three games, Ball State has given up a combined 30 points in the first 11 minutes of each game, more than any other team in the Mid-American Conference. Bowling Green and Eastern Michigan are tied at second with 28 apiece.

Those two teams also played Wisconsin and Michigan State during that stretch, two of the most potent offenses in the nation.

So far this season, Ball State’s offense hasn’t shown the explosiveness needed to come back from an early deficit when the defense falters. Mann has thrown just six touchdowns

Following the football team’s fourth consecutive loss, junior linebacker Ben Ingle said the team’s players were out of place. Ball State lost to Army 33-24 on Saturday.

in five games this season. Williams, hampered by an early season ankle injury, has just 113 yards receiving.

Fellow receivers KeVonn Mabon and Chris Shillings took larger roles when Williams was out, but have still combined for less than 500 yards receiving through these first five games. Without explosion, Ball State’s offense isn’t equipped to come back from early game deficits.

The Cardinals offense has struggled to produce points all season, currently ranked

No. 104 in the country at 22 points per game.

Entering the middle of the season, Ingle said it is crucial that Ball State fixes its problems.

“It’s going to be on me, on the other captains to talk to each other and see what we can do to get better,” Ingle said. “Right now, whatever we’re doing isn’t clicking.”

With the offense failing to score, it becomes increasingly harder for the defense to force the opposing offense out of its game plan.

BURLESQUE: Vaudeville performance highlights historic Muncie Civic Theatre | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 They may have also come in contact with the scantily-clad “Zombie Twins.”

Shayna Shelton and Sam Shelton, senior fashion design majors and twins, interacted with the spectators in the lobby, chatting and taking pictures before the start of Star Follies seventh annual burlesque event.

Each show normally draws anywhere from 250-350 audience members depending on the show, being made up of not just local citizens, but Ball State students as well.

THE HISTORY BEHIND THE SHOW

Robert Dirden, 2007 Ball State graduate and faculty instructor of the theatre and dance department, and Marcie Greene, graduate and faculty member, thought of the Star Follies concept. Dirden had been to a burlesque review in Las Vegas when the idea came to him.

“Me and Marcie were talking one day four to five years ago and had the idea to do a cabaret that incorporated burlesque dance,” Dirden said.

“This is the fourth year and the seventh show.”

Dirden and Greene took the idea to Muncie Civic executive director Todd Sandman, explaining that it was a way to do a fundraiser and a way to get the Ball State dance department involved at the Muncie Civic. The event would help raise money for the theatre as well as for educational programs and help support the theatre’s budget.

Now, community members, students and faculty are all a part of the Star Follies production. There are no auditions, the performers being handpicked by Dirden each year. Dirden has been a designer for 25 years and has been directing for 15. Each show takes about six to eight weeks of planning and about one week of rehearsing with the performers.

“I design, produce and direct

the entire event,” Dirden said.

“But I let a lot of my advanced makeup students design pieces for the show.”

Dirden usually assembles a team of six to eight students and will do makeup, hair and body paint or art on 10 to 12 people for the show.

“We usually take three to five hours to get everyone ready and the students get experience and have fun,” Dirden said.

MUNCIE CIVIC THEATRE

James Boyce, the man who originally brought the Ball brothers to Muncie, constructed the building in 1880.

William H. Ball and fellow community members started the Muncie Civic Theatre in March of 1931. The theatre was a popular attraction on the vaudeville circuit, acting as a burlesque theatre back in the day.

“Burlesque is where strip tease originated from,” Sandman said. “Feather dances, popping of balloons to rep-

Oechsel, portraying the main role of Carrie White for the musical, performed the opening song “Carrie White.”

Oeschel came out again some acts later, still playing the role of Carrie White, with her sister Erin, who took up the role of “Rabbit Tamer” for the circus theme. Together the duo sang about how much they disliked working for the circus, since Carrie, using her telekinesis powers, would end up killing the entire audience each night.

The song displayed their longing to act on the television station HBO, their chorus be-

ginning with, “How do I book ‘Game of Thrones?’”

Three others acts included Hedwig the drag queen, played

by Zachary Allen, who sang “Origin of Love,” Ian the troubled businessman who danced and stripped his way around the stage ending up in nothing but black, leather spandex with a furry tail and mask, and finally MT Promises the bedazzled bearded lady and “The Most Popular Girl in School,” who sang the song “Popular” from the musical “Wicked.”

From the reactions of the house, Star Follies seemed like a hit.

“Ian, the male stripper was my favorite,” Nick Gilbert, a freshman undecided major, said. “He put himself out there and he had a good song choice.”

Millie Gibson, an international student criminology major, came out to the show with her friends to celebrate her 21st birthday.

“It was amazing, it was so funny,” she said. “It was money well spent.”

Get connected with campus Today’s Birthday (10/6/14) You’re clear what’s important this year. Connect with friends, groups and family.

The two eclipses this month (10/8, 10/23) incite changes in partnership and new profitable opportunities.

Intention and action reap cash rewards through 12/23, when focus shifts to writing, researching and recording. Springtime service leads to personal power. Share love abundantly and playfully.

To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is an 8. Complete the task at hand and then venture farther out. Expand your influence, with help. Mobilize team efforts. Do it with passion. Revise your sales pitch or resume. Accept a difficult assignment. Work interferes with playtime.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is an 8. Disciplined collaborative effort surges forward and pays off. Plan and prepare. Steer a steady course, and tie up loose ends. Someone needs to take responsibility. Re-commit to a project. Figure out who does what, by when.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Today is a 9. Consider a steady income. Think about a partner’s good idea. Let yourself get persuaded. Think quickly, but move slowly.

Put your feelings into each activity. Confer with family.

One of them will see reason first.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Today is an 8. Take the practical path, and the most direct route. Update your equipment. Discover imaginative ways to save money.

Contemplate possible changes. Watch for hidden dangers, as you march boldly. Old stories are a reliable guide.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is an 8. Get empowered by love. You’re even more attractive now. Your fame travels far and wide. It’s okay to be proud of an accomplishment. Consider long-term implications.

Prepare documents, and await signatures. There’s no magic involved.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is an 8. Invest in your home. It doesn’t need to be expensive. Use something you’ve been saving. Let circumstances dictate the time.

Working at home increases your benefits. Advance despite breakdowns or distractions. Get your partners involved.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Today is a 9. Discover a whole new batch of options. Resist temptation to run away or spend carelessly. Accept an offer for more authority.

Doors that seem closed open later. You know what you’re talking about. Love transforms you.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is a 9. Don’t push too hard. There’s more money coming in. Grasp a potent opportunity. Beat out the competition. Circumstances lead you in a practical direction. Make a valuable discovery. Replace something that just doesn’t fit. Enjoy.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is an 8. You can see the road winding into the distance. There’s a way around this problem. Invest in long-term solutions, without diminishing resources. You’re growing wiser and gaining respect. Make plans now for action later.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is an 8. Work could interfere with travel or transportation. Do your share of the chores. If you’ve kept your word, you gain status.

Don’t make new promises yet. Keep some things hidden. Consider the road ahead.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is a 9. Keep your focus and maintain momentum to profit. Team projects go well. Your partner adds to the excitement. Friends offer good advice. Provide motivation. Your work is respected. Develop a plan of attack. Hand deliver your message.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is an 8. Finish a project that you’ve been avoiding. Completion leads to opportunity. Imagine perfection. Passion can move mountains. Accept a challenge. Your partner supports the game. The vacation of your dreams is possible; make plans and budget for it.
