‘...THIS HAS TO BE THE

BIGGEST WIN IN THE HISTORY OF BALL STATE FOOTBALL...’

The offensive line lines up against University of Virginia’s defense during the away game Saturday at Scott Stadium. Ball State won 48-27 against the Bowl Championship Series team. Ball State rushed for three touchdowns and passed for two more.

Lembo earns fourth BCS win in his 3 years as head coach McKINNEY SPORTS EDITOR | MATT @Matt_D_McKinney CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Pete Lembo struggled to find words to summarize Ball State’s 48-27 win over University of Virginia moments after the game.

In three years at Ball State, the head coach has seen his team beat Bowl Championship Series teams three times and win on the road against the top Mid-American Conference programs. But Lembo wasn’t shy to claim Saturday’s win as one of the biggest in Ball State history.

“I’m not usually speechless, but I’m pretty darn close,” Lembo said. “It’s going to take a while for this one to really sink in. But this has to be the biggest win in the history of Ball State football in 90 years.”

The win marked Ball State’s fourth BCS win in three years.

“But nothing compares to this,” Lembo said.

“Coming on the road to Virginia, beating an [Atlantic Coast Conference] opponent — a team with the

PAIR OF TEAM CAREER RECORDS FALL IN WIN AT VIRGINIA

caliber of athletes that they have and the fact that we are very much depleted.”

The team was riddled with injuries heading into the game and lost more players throughout.

Linebackers Chris Calloway and Ben Ingle missed the game. In Ingle’s place, sophomore Trent Toothman started at middle linebacker.

Freshman safety Martez Hester also missed the game with an ankle injury.

Wide receivers sophomore KeVonn Mabon and junior Chris Shillings were out. Mabon is out for the year with a collarbone injury. Senior wide receiver Connor Ryan played, but he was limited with a thumb injury.

Junior safety Brian Jones played despite having a shoulder injury. Jones led the game with 12 total tackles and one forced fumble.

Lembo said senior cornerback Jeff Garrett had a “pretty good shoulder bruise.” Garrett started and played extensively throughout the game. He had the game’s only interception.

“We were going into this game shorthanded,” Lembo said. “We lost some other guys as the game went on. Some guys fought to get back in.”

Two career milestones were set in Ball State’s 48-27 victory over the University of Virginia on Saturday.

Senior quarterback Keith Wenning set the Ball State record for career passing yards with 9,250. On a 72-yard pass to sophomore receiver Jordan Williams, Keith Wenning broke the record previously held by Nate Davis.

Davis played from 2006-08, leading the team to an undefeated record in his final season. He passed for 9,233 yards in his career.

Wenning passed for 346 yards in the game and added two touchdowns. It was his 12th career game passing for more than 300 yards. The touchdowns moved him to 11 on the season.

Wenning also is near to breaking Davis’ career passing touchdowns record of 74. Wenning currently has 68.

Junior running back Jahwan Edwards rushed for three touchdowns in the win, setting the school record for career rushing touchdowns. On 24 carries, Edwards rushed for 161 yards in addition to his three touchdowns.

Now with 35, he broke the record of 34 set by Marcus Merriweather in 2002.

Since returning from a concussion, Edwards has rushed for three touchdowns in three consecutive games. He is closing in on the school record for total touchdowns in a career as well.

Ball State crime low for size, according to recent report Spokesperson says alcohol behind most incidents on campus |

RACHEL PODNAR CHIEF REPORTER rmpodnar@bsu.edu

The university is low on crime for the size of its population and space, said Ball State officials after looking at numbers from the annual campus crime report.

“The numbers reflect that we are relatively free of serious crime,” said Michael Gillilan,

director of student rights and community standards. “Most of the crimes that do occur involve students using alcohol or drugs illegally, or in rare cases, committing crimes against one another.”

The annual Campus Crime Statistics report was released Tuesday, providing data on criminal offense reports, arrests and disciplinary referrals for 2012.

HOMECOMING VILLAGE OPENS TODAY

ON-CAMPUS CRIME

The Homecoming Village comes back for a second year to kick off Homecoming Week.

At 6 p.m. on Martin Street between Riverside and University avenues, students and community members will have a chance to take place in Homecoming festivities.

The free event will feature a zip line, a mechanical bull, student bands, games and specials from businesses in the Village.

Although there is construction right around the site of the Homecoming Village, restaurants in the Village said it probably won’t affect their business.

“I don’t think [the construction] will affect us at all,” Jimmy John’s manager Joshua Smith said. “We always have a ton of business at Homecoming, there are lots of people getting sandwiches.”

Jimmy John’s will have a deal for free fountain drinks when a cup is picked up at the Homecoming Information Tent. Other deals include $2 banana splits and $1 sodas from Grandma Betty’s Ice Cream Shop, free samples from Insomnia Cookies and $3.99 pitas from Pita Pit. “I guarantee Homecoming Village will help bring more people,” Robert Heeter, Scotty’s Brewhouse manager, said.

KNIGHT SPEAKS TO WHITFORD, GIVES PRACTICE ADVICE

Fuelling records 6 fewer errors in win against Bulls team POLASKI ASST. SPORTS EDITOR | DAVID @DavidPolaski

Former Indiana head coach instructed players on preparation habits, hard work

After what could be described as an upset loss to the University of Toledo, 9-8, Ball State didn’t waste time putting the defeat behind them.

The Cardinals, 15-4, immediately rebounded 48 hours later by sweeping the University at Buffalo, showing little resemblance to the team that struggled to get offense flowing Thursday night. “[Toledo] was a trap match, and I think we learned a season’s worth of lessons when we were out there,” head coach Steve Shondell said. “You can’t begin to feel too good about yourself just because you’ve won 11 in a row.”

The loss to Toledo snapped Ball State’s 11-match win streak.

Against the now 14-3 Buffalo team, Ball State came out in warm-ups looking more aggressive and ready than in previous matches. The loss to Toledo allowed them to refocus by not thinking on what could have been.

“You can’t dwell too much on the past, you’ve got to move on from it,” Ball State outside hitter Alex Fuelling said. “We took it as a learning lesson knowing

that we can’t take any game for granted.”

Against the Bulls, the Cardinals looked ready to prove their loss was nothing more than a fluke. After the threeset sweep Ball State conducted in front of its home crowd Saturday, Shondell emphasized the importance of moving on quickly after a loss while still taking mental notes about what improvements need to be made so a loss doesn’t happen again.

After the victory against Buffalo, Toledo seemed like a distant memory for Ball State’s head coach.

“We lost to Toledo?” Shondell asked with a smile.

Freshman scores early in MAC win Defense gives up goal in 73rd minute on rain-soaked field

EVAN BARNUM-STEGGARDA CHIEF REPORTER @Slice_of_Evan

In the 2-1 victory against Ohio University, Ball State needed 51 seconds to strike in the rain.

Freshman defender Leah Mattingly’s header from fellow back row member junior Cailey Starck’s corner gave Ball State a lead it would never relinquish, a contrast to the loss to Kent State University on Friday.

“We were really disappointed after Friday,” senior midfielder Maimee Morris said. “We had no reason to lose that one. It was so important to get that early goal [against Ohio] and capitalize on it.”

“I think we proved today that we’re in contention to win the MAC and there’s no reason why we shouldn’t,” Morris said.

Less than six minutes later, Morris beat her defender down the right wing and sent a ball into the six-yard box that senior midfielder Michelle Blok deflected in for Ball State’s second goal.

into the match the co-leader of the Mid-American Conference East, for the entire first half.

“As soon as you beat [a defender] once, you feel like you can beat them over and over again,” Morris said. “There’s no reason any of our mid[fielders] or forwards can’t get by any defenders in the MAC — I have no doubt in our ability.”

In the first half, the Cardinals outshot the Bobcats 14-4 and garnered five corners to three, making the slick playing surface look like a nonissue. Head coach Craig Roberts said the weather didn’t play a factor in the match,

TEAM FINISHES 8TH IN LOUISVILLE, KY. Ball State’s cross country team returned to play Saturday in Louisville, Ky., to place eight out of 17 teams at the 12th annual Greater Louisville Classic.

At the E.P. Tom Sawyer State Park, which was home to the 2012 NCAA Division I Cross Country Championships, 50 other teams to ran alongside Ball State in the Women’s 5K Blue Race.

The classic included a total of six races with both men and women from some of the top teams around the nation running.

Last season, the event gave the Cardinals a bit of a struggle as the team placed 30th out of 31 teams.

After running in saturated weather, the Cardinals as a team scored 199 with an average time of 19:40.68. University of South Alabama took the top stop with 106 points followed by Austin Peay State University with 109, Samford University with 112, University of Evansville with 121 and Campbell University with 127.

For the first time, sophomore Danielle Dahl was the top finisher for Ball State with a time of 19:29.04 to place 62nd out of 329 runners.

Right behind Dahl were freshmen Ericka Rinehart and Jordan Timmons. Rinehart placed 73rd with 19:32.67 and Timmons took 81st with 19:36.17.

Juniors Caitlynn and Courtney Edon rounded out Ball State top five runners. Caitlynn Edon had a time of 19:49.75 for the 109th spot and Courtney Edon had a time of 19:55.75, which landed her the 120th spot.

The Cardinals will host the 2013 Ball State invitational on Oct. 18 at the Muncie Elks Country Club. The meet is schedule to begin at 5 p.m.

other than the expected longer skips and small number of goalkeeper mishandles.

After being physically overmatched by Kent State, Ball State was the aggressor against Ohio — on the way to a seasonhigh 15 fouls — and kept the Bobcats on their heels or on the ground for a good part of the game.

“It wasn’t a case of dirty challenges; we played good, honest soccer,” Roberts said.

Through the season, Ohio has proven to be a second-half team. The Bobcats have now scored 14 of their 19 goals in the last 45 minutes of matches,

utilizing halftime adjustments from first season head coach Aaron Rodgers.

Roberts said he was ready for the “predictable” systematic changes Ohio implemented, but the droves the Bobcats pushed forward made defending difficult.

Ohio brought seven and eight attackers forward almost every offensive assault, and finally all the bodies in Ball State’s defensive third proved to be too much to be denied. Ohio’s freshman forward Allison Cislo snuck a ball past freshman goalkeeper Brooke Dennis in the midst of a clogged penalty area in the 73rd minute.

With more than half of its games being decided by a goal or less, Ball State is very familiar with late-game heroics. But this was the first game the Cardinals had to defend a one-goal lead in the waning stages.

The last 15 minutes of the match had several anxious moments for both teams. Ohio had its equalizer roll across an open goalmouth and later ricochet off the cross bar, while Ball State squandered two breakaways.

“We had one or two sticky moments and had a couple breakaway chances to close out the game and really seal the deal, but we hung on and played strong to the end,” Roberts said.

Though the legendary basketball coach was in Muncie to speak with fans and students, Bob Knight found his way to a locker room.

He spoke to the Ball State men’s basketball team prior to taking the stage Thursday night at John R. Emens Auditorium. Even though he didn’t have to, Knight met with the team to offer advice in both life and basketball.

“It’s not what [Knight] was brought in to do,” head coach James Whitford said. “The fact that he went out of his way to do it, I thought said a lot about him.”

As Whitford enters his first season with Ball State, he was able to speak one-on-one with a coach that won more than 900 career games, three national championships and an Olympic gold medal.

Knight was fired from Indiana in 2000 after the last in a string of conduct issues.

When Kent Harvey greeted him in a way he believed was too casual, Knight grabbed the freshman by the arm.

Previously, Knight had been punished for choking one of Indiana’s players, Neil Reed, in practice. University president Myles Brand announced Knight’s firing, calling him “defiant and hostile,” the Associated Press reported.

Whitford said Knight was able to give him some practical basketball advice for his young team. “[Knight] talked to me about the importance of designing practice so all of the guys get repetitions in practice and how to use practice to get maximum results,” he said.

It wasn’t all basketball talk, though. Knight stressed the importance of academics to the players and how a scholarship

can change an athlete’s life.

“It was great to have someone like Bob Knight, a legend and a great coach and teacher of basketball,” senior forward Majok Majok said.

College basketball should be a stepping stone that leads into the real world, Knight said. He looked forward to when his players looked past the life on the court.

“Where it wasn’t just basketball,” he said Thursday at Emens. “But to have a player say ‘thanks, the way you made me play is really going to help me in life.’”

Majok said Knight was confident in what he said to the team. It made it easy for him to believe in what Knight taught — everything from how to be the best possible team player, to not skipping an 8 a.m. class.

Knight’s wisdom isn’t outdated just yet. Majok took note of one of Knight’s most emphasized points in attaining success on the court.

“The game hasn’t evolved,” Majok said. “If you take the right steps in preparation, then you can succeed. Even though he coached in a different time, the game hasn’t changed. You just play hard and play smart; it’s simple.”

The men’s basketball team has practiced for just more than a week a now, and Whitford said he is happy with the concentration and the focus of his players.

Whether Whitford is able to add more value to practice, or players are able to add more value to their personal lives, Knight’s time with the team is sure to have an impact.

“It was really neat, and I thought [it was] a great lesson for our guys,” Whitford said. “[Knight] made some really good points, and obviously, when it comes from someone with his stature, it goes a long way.”

FOOTBALL: Bowl eligibility 1 win away for Ball State | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Lembo said he was forced to play freshman linebacker Stu Stanley on special teams due to injuries. Stanley was originally supposed to be redshirted, which had to be used up Saturday.

“If you would’ve told me back in August that we’d have seven or eight guys out that have played a lot of football, that we’d beat these guys by three scores, I don’t know if I would’ve had an answer for you,” he said.

Junior wide receiver Willie Snead started the game, but left due to dehydration issues, according to the game’s broadcast.

Snead was seen after the game standing by the locker room.

“As the adversity grew in this game, our guys came closer and closer together,” Lembo said.

Not only was it a big win for Ball State, it was a record-

breaking one as well.

Senior quarterback Keith Wenning broke the Ball State record for most passing yards in a career, passing Nate Davis, who played from 2006-08.

The record-breaking pass came from a 72-yard touchdown throw to sophomore Jordan Williams in the fourth quarter.

Junior running back Jahwan Edwards also broke a Ball State record during the game.

Edwards scored three touchdowns for the third straight game, bringing his career total to 35 and giving him the Ball State most touchdowns rushing career record.

He passed Marcus Merriweather, who played from 1999-2002.

Ball State, now 5-1, moves just one win shy of becoming bowl eligible.

“This is big, folks,” Lembo said.

“This is big.“

Republicans take back remarks Indiana politician says he is frustrated by partial shutdown

| THE ASSOCIATED PRESS INDIANAPOLIS — Prominent Indiana Republicans had trouble this week deciding whether the federal government shutdown was necessary and what they wanted out of it, backing down from statements about Washington, including one that sparked ridicule from President Barack Obama.

Gov. Mike Pence was the lat-

est Republican to tamp down his comments Friday. He told South Bend media Tuesday that “efforts to delay the implementation of Obamacare and also efforts to reduce the negative impact of Obamacare on our economy are worthwhile.” But he said Friday, shortly before leaving the Statehouse on the annual governor’s motorcycle ride, that he “probably could have been more clear.”

“I never said the government shutdown was worthwhile,” he said. “And, like every Hoosier, I’m frustrated.”

Pence’s backpedalling came as U.S. Rep. Marlin Stutzman

apologized for a clumsy statement that earlier in the week put Republicans on the defensive in the ongoing shutdown fight and U.S. Rep. Todd Rokita was forced to explain an offcolor comment he made to a CNN anchor.

The gaffes, stark words and artless prose were enough to give national Democrats and Comedy Central news satirists days’ worth of material in a news cycle that turns over by the hour, if not the minute. But the tempering of language is a new tack for Pence, who occasionally led Tea Party rallies during his 12 years in the U.S. House

and supported a federal shutdown in 2011 unless the federal government stopped funding Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers.

Pence has never been as fiery in his delivery as other staunch conservatives such as U.S. Rep. Michelle Bachmann, R-Minn., or U.S. Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, but his policies and stances have largely lined up with the party’s conservative wing. Since becoming governor, however, Pence has stayed away from hot-button social issues and avoided most blatantly partisan battles in the Statehouse.

Pence’s comments, how-

ever, were overshadowed

by Stutzman, a former Congressional colleague, who insisted that House Republicans wanted something from Democrats in the continuing standoff, but weren’t sure exactly what.

“We’re not going to be disrespected,” Stutzman told a Washington Examiner reporter Wednesday. “We have to get something out of this.

And I don’t know what that even is.”

By Thursday, Stutzman’s quote had become the gaffe of choice for national Democrats looking to paint Republicans as obstructionists and was mocked point-

edly by Obama during a speech in Maryland. Stutzman quickly issued a statement saying that his comments did not reflect the stance of House Republicans.

The unlikely victor following Stutzman’s remarks may have been Rokita, who had taken heat for calling the federal health care law “insidious” but compounded his troubles in a follow-up interview on CNN Wednesday.

Rokita told CNN anchor Carol Costello, “You’re beautiful, but you have to be honest as well.”

She ended the on-air interview at that comment. Rokita, a sophomore Republican, later said he meant no offense to Costello.

BP TRIAL TO FOCUS ON SPILL ESTIMATES

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — When BP used a capping stack to seal its blown-out well in the Gulf of Mexico, the device didn’t just shut the source of the nation’s worst offshore oil spill. Its pressure gauge also provided scientists with crucial data about the rate that crude was spewing from the well when engineers finally plugged the leak in July 2010.

Experts for the British oil giant and the federal government used the pressure gauge data in calculating how much oil spilled into the Gulf during the 87 days it took to plug the well. But each side will provide a federal judge with very different estimates when the second phase of a trial resumes today for litigation spawned by the spill.

U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier is scheduled to hear three weeks of testimony from dueling experts to help him calculate how much oil spilled into the Gulf — a key factor in determining how much more money BP and its contractors owe for their roles in the deadly disaster.

Justice Department attorneys will try to persuade Barbier that the pressure gauge on the capping stack provided the best set of data about the flow of oil from the well.

Freshman Spanish education major Jamie Lundberg and junior business administration and linguistics major Erica McBride search for an object in the mosh pit of watermelons during the 41st annual Watermelon Bust on Saturday at LaFollette Field. Delta Tau Delta and Alpha Chi Omega hosted the event.

More than 100 teams of sororities and fraternities gathered Saturday in the LaFollette Field to participate in the 41st annual Watermelon Bust, organized by Delta Tau Delta and Alpha Chi Omega.

“The point of Watermelon Bust is to help spread awareness about the prevention of domestic violence,” said Caitlyn Spring, Alpha Chi Omega president. “We raise money for A Better Way and the American Red Cross. It’s a tradition that has been carried on between Delta Tau Delta and Alpha Chi Omega for 41 years.”

Last year, they had 70 teams compete in the philanthropy. The increase in teams this year helped raised about $19,000, breaking the previous campus record of $15,000.

“It’s an amazing feeling, and I could not be more proud of both Alpha Chi Omega and Delta Tau Delta,” Sprong said.

Marching bands compete at Ball State for first time Music For All hosts championship event at high school level ALAN HOVORKA STAFF REPORTER | afhovorka@bsu.edu Twenty-three bands from across the Midwest performed in Muncie as part of Ball State’s first Bands of America Marching Band Regional Championship hosted by Music For All. Debbie Laferty Asbill, vice president of marketing and communications at Music For All, said the group chose the event to be in Muncie because Music For All is based out of Indianapolis.

“So this is kind of a hometown event for us because we have done our Summer Symposium in June the past three years here,” Laferty Asbill said.

The event began at 9:15 a.m.

Saturday at Scheumann Stadium and lasted the entire day while experiencing rain delays.

The competition began with a preliminary performance by all 23 bands and the top 10 moved on to the finals competition in the evening. However, due to weath-

er, finals were canceled and the scores from the first performances were used to determine the grand champion, Carmel High School.

These competitions are open to all bands across the nation, however, scoring is not the only aspect of the event, said Chuck Henson, press announcer for Bands of America.

“It’s not about where you place because if it was, there would be one happy band at the end of the day and everyone else would be miserable,” Henson said. “Music For All, at its core, is about teaching how to treat others with respect and wanting to be the best at what you do and [it] uses music to do that.”

This lesson of humility floats through the atmosphere of the event through words and actions of the performers.

“It’s important to be able to have and share a representation of how hard we work to others.” said Michael Bockwoldt, drum major for the Lincoln-Way East High School marching band in Frankfort, Ill. “It’s rewarding to be able to perform this show for others.”

TOP 5 PLACEMENTS 1. 85.25 - Carmel High School

(tiebreaker by .4) 2. 85.25 - Avon High School 3. 8 0.00 - Center Grove High School 4. 7 9.90 - Lawrence Central High School 5. 7 9.55 - Ben Davis High School This is Henson’s 25th year announcing for Bands of America.

“I keep coming back to this every year because I am a product of this activity, and the man I am today is a direct result of my involvement in music education,” Henson said.

According to Music For All’s mission statement, the goal is to “create, provide and expand positively life-changing experiences” through Music For All. Henson said one way Music For All creates a life-changing experience is by creating a second family.

The event also gives parents and friends the chance to see what those participating have been working toward all year.

“It’s an overall very motivational and positive experience where the kids can get expo-

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Police at the University of Notre Dame are investigating a report of a rape and an attempted rape in September and have informed the prosecutor’s office that two other women who reported being raped last month are unwilling to pursue criminal charges.

“With our efforts to increase awareness of what constitutes sexual violence and how to report it, we anticipated and are seeing a rise in the number of reports,” university spokesman Dennis Brown told the South Bend Tribune.

The U.S. Department of Education in April 2011 outlined to colleges nationwide their responsibilities in confronting sexual assaults.

Brown said the other two cases remain under investigation. The university had eight reports of rapes in total for the three previous years combined.

Monica Daegele, a junior and director of gender issues for the Notre Dame student body government, and other student government leaders gathered to discuss what could be done to bring attention.

TENT CITY PLANNED IN PORTLAND, ORE. PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — One of the toniest areas of Portland might soon be home to a tent city.

If this were another town, the owners and developers of high-end homes and condominiums would scream to high heaven about diminished property values.

But this is Portland, where the citizens try their best to be tolerant of everything except intolerance — and gluten.

Opponents of a city plan to put 100 people under a century-old bridge in the Pearl District express concern for their financial investments. They have criticized the city’s expedited process and worried for the welfare of those willing to live in a parking lot under the west ramp of the Broadway Bridge.

Tiffany Sweitzer, the president of Hoyt Street Properties said “throwing a bunch of people under a bridge” should not be the city’s solution to helping the estimated 2,000 residents who sleep outside each night.

CAMPUS CRIME: Students should ‘travel with others’ | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “We continue to encourage students to be aware of their surroundings, to travel with others and to stay in welllighted areas at night,” he said.

“Crime follows ease and availability of targets, and students that are alone, out late and impaired with alcohol are especially vulnerable.”

Ball State has the first accredited university police force in Indiana and has earned reaccreditation.

Liquor law violations in 2012 on campus were at its lowest since 2010 — and less than half the total violations of 2011.

Total arrests due to liquor law violations on campus decreased from 285 in 2011 to 123 in 2012, but disciplinary referrals due to liquor law violations stayed relatively stable and decreased by 28 to a total of 1,145 in 2012.

Gillilan said he does not consider this decrease substantial and it is not unusual to have changes in numbers from year to year for any kind of geographic location.

“A change can disappear as quickly as it appeared,” he said. “We would consider most of these statistics fairly stable. What would be significant is a notable change that

was sustained over several years, and the numbers here do not reflect such a trend.”

Aggravated assault increased from zero offenses in 2011 to a total of 7 offenses on campus in 2012. Off campus, there were 14 offenses in 2012.

Gillilan said these assaults occurred just off campus, when students were alone at night, and it is hard to know just by one year if this is a substantial increase from 2011’s six offcampus aggravated assaults.

The report also includes statistics on hate crimes. No hate crimes in any category have been reported for 2010, 2011 or 2012.

Gillilan said the federal reporting requirements for hate crimes must show evidence of bias and accompanied by hate crime in the categories of race, gender, ethnicity, religion, disability or sexual orientation.

“No crimes reported meet this definition,” he said.

Gillilan said the Campus Crime Statistics is based on statistics from reported crimes.

“We do all we can to make reporting easy for witnesses and victims, but there is no way to know about crimes that are not reported,” he said. “For those crimes that are reported, we are confident that these numbers are accurate.”

Egyptian security forces fight protesters, 51 dead Death toll highest single day killing since sit-ins raided | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CAIRO — Security forces and Islamist protesters clashed around the country Sunday, leaving 51 killed, as a national holiday celebrating the military turned to mayhem.

Crowds from Egypt’s two rival camps — supporters of the ousted Islamist president, Mohammed Morsi, and backers of the military that deposed him — poured into the streets and turned on each other.

Several neighborhoods of the capital, Cairo, resembled combat zones after street battles that raged for hours.

Morsi supporters fired birdshot and threw firebombs

Antimilitary protestors are detained Sunday after being brutally beaten by security forces for protesting against the military, near where military supporters were celebrating in Tahrir Square the anniversary of Egypt’s 1973 war with Israel.

at police who responded with gunshots and tear gas.

Streets were left strewn with debris, and the air was thick with tear gas and smoke from burning fires, as the crack of gunfire rang out.

An Associated Press pho-

tographer saw nine bodies lying on the floor of a clinic in the Cairo district of Dokki, scene of some of the heaviest clashes. Most of the bodies had gunshot wounds to the head or chest.

Sunday’s death toll of 51 was

the highest on a single day since Aug. 14 when security forces raided two sit-in protest camps by Morsi supporters, killing hundreds.

Even as fighting continued in the streets, the military went ahead with lavish celebrations for the holiday marking the 40th anniversary of the start of the 1973 Mideast war with Israel.

In the evening, a concert was aired live on state TV from a military-run Cairo stadium where pop stars from Egypt, Lebanon and the Gulf sang anthems to the army and dancers twirled on stage before a cheering crowd. Military chief Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, other top brass and interim President Adly Mansour attended the show. “There are those who think the military can be broken,� elSissi said

University of Mississippi investigates shouting of slurs Reports of athletes yelling during play unverified by school | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS OXFORD, Miss. — The University of Mississippi said it has not been able to verify reports that athletes led the disruption of a campus play with

gay slurs and inappropriate laughter. University officials said earlier that some freshmen athletes participated.

Nobody gave names or accused specific students of misbehaving during “The Laramie Project,� a play about the beating to death of gay University of Wyoming student Matthew Shepard in Laramie, Wyo., the six-person Bias Incident Response Team reported Friday.

The report said the dark theater made it hard to identify specific people, and early reports differ about the frequency, volume and source of comments. “Although initial reports indicate that student athletes led the action, it is important to note that this has not been verified, and they were not the only students present,� it said. “Reports indicate that com-

Comic book artist and theorist Scott McCloud got his introduction to the art from a friend in middle school. He later began to draw superheroes in his spare time.

“I decided when I was about 15 years old to be a comic book artist,” McCloud said.

He got his start in the industry after an assignment in a design class required him to design a résumé and send to a potential employer. McCloud decided to send it to DC Comics and received a position in the production department.

“It was a simple job,” he said. “But one of the important things was that it took away any of the magic, which was a really good thing because I understood that this was the kind of thing I could imagine making myself. I could see very clearly what it took to make a piece of comic book art.”

Less than two years later, McCloud quit his job at DC Comics after pitching an original comic to an independent publisher. From that point on at the age of 23, he began his career of SCOTT McCLOUD Comic book artist making comics.

Thirty years later, McCloud has pub- and theorist lished original comics like “Zot!” as well LECTURE as theoretical texts, such as “UnderWHAT standing Comics,” and commercial McCloud to talk comics including one for Google about comic cook Chrome. He is working on a graphic art and theory novel.

WHEN Out of all of his works, McCloud 7:30 p.m. expressed that his proudest WHERE achievement would be “Under- Art and standing Comics.” He described Journalism it as a “comic book about com- Building Room ics,” which came out of the 175 ideas he had about how comics worked.

“It’s a 200-page long nonfiction comic explaining what happens when our minds encounter these pictures in sequence,” he said. “There is a lot of potential for this art form, but the best way to discover that potential was to look at it as you would study something scientifically.”

This book has been translated into about 16 languages and is used by several different industries outside of the graphic narrative.

Amit Baishya, an English assistant professor, teaches several courses about comic books and has used McCloud’s theoretical books in his instruction.

“The students begin with a simple comic strip,” he said. “When they read McCloud’s text, they start to see more and gain understanding about complex topics.”

As the first speaker in the inaugural Marilyn K. Cory Speaker Series, McCloud will speak at 7:30 tonight in the Art and Journalism Building Room 175.

Debora Mix, an English associate professor, invited McCloud to speak in order to start off the series, which is named after a Ball State alumna who donated money to the department.

This presentation is the first of what will be an annual lecture series, beginning with this year’s comic-themed talks.

“I wanted to do a series on graphic narrative because it could draw in other people who don’t normally come to English department speakers,” Mix said. “And it would appeal to those outside Ball State.”

Mix said she chose McCloud because she is familiar with his work and impressed with his theories about visual rhetoric.

“I hope that McCloud encourages us to think more deeply about the way visual rhetoric works and the value of comic books,” she said.

For this talk, English instructor Eva Snider will introduce McCloud.

“I love how he boils extremely complex concepts into something simple,” she said. “His line work is amazing. He has a great sense of humor and his comics are really well drawn and well written.”

McCloud said he plans to discuss everything from medium and visual communication to the relationship between art and technology.

“McCloud is not just an artist, but also a philosopher about comic books, and what he says can be applied to all forms of narratives,” Baishya said. “If people come to listen to McCloud’s talk, they will be hearing a thinker in action.”

Next on the agenda for the Marilyn K. Cory Speaker Series is Christina Blanch, a Ball State doctoral student, who will host a presentation at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 4 in the David Letterman Communication and Media Building Room 125.
