Co-author of the resolution and SGA pro tempore Jack Hesser said he was appreciative of student senators reaching out to their constituents for feedback on this issue. “I think the student senators reach out to their constituents in the appropriate manner,” Hesser said. “I received literally hundreds of emails from students and senators. A lot of organizations also contacted me [to sponsor the bill].” University Senate will vote on a recommendation also, to decide the leaning of Ball State’s university governance system. SGA recently approved two student senators to represent the student body during the University Senate meeting along with SGA president Chloe Anagnos, vice president Alyssa France and Hesser. They will be the only student voting members of University Senate. Hesser said the five will vote in the same percentage student senate voted, so one will likely vote against taking a public stance.

EKALB, Ill. – Ball State’s Jonathan Newsome had Jordan Lynch dead to rights in the backfield, wrapped up for a loss on a third and 11. Unbelievably, yet somehow unsurprisingly, Northern Illinois University’s senior quarterback made something out of nothing and escaped for a first down as he has done all game and all season. The Huskies marched down the field and scored a touchdown on the drive, taking the lead. Northern Illinois wouldn’t trail for the remainder of the game as it beat Ball State, 48-27. The play was one of the first things Ball State head coach Pete Lembo mentioned following the game. “Newsome didn’t bring him down,” Lembo said. “Great play by Jordan of breaking free and scampering for a first down.” Later in the game, Lynch had a similar play along the right sideline. He was caught for a loss, but found a way to break free, running for a touchdown.

Devastating typhoon affects area students visited during summer ALAN HOVORKA STAFF REPORTER | afhovorka@bsu.edu
Recent headlines have caused a Ball State Christian Fellowship group to worry about the safety of its friends after it spent time in the Philippines over the summer. Last weekend Typhoon Haiyan hit the Philippines and devastated entire cities, possibly killing thousands and leaving others in need of aid. Chi Alpha, a Christian Fellowship group, spent time in the Philippines from July 19 to Aug. 2 to help

We were able to connect him with some other Filipino believers,” said Daniel Kaelin, a Chi Alpha faculty member. “When the storm hit, they were mainly in a different area of the country, so all of our friends were all okay.” Most of the contact the group has had with their friends overseas has been via Facebook. “A lot of people are wondering how could this happen and even struggling faith, like the big question a lot of people have, ‘If God is good, why do bad things happen to good people?’” Kaelin said. “We’ve seen a lot of people

Online service offers anonymous advice Concerned Charlie connects students with psychologist KARA BERG STAFF REPORTER | knberg2@bsu.edu A program that started in the ‘90s continues to help students get anonymous, professional advice for their emotional and academic questions. Concerned Charlie is a way to give students access to the counseling center without having to talk to a psychologist, which some may find uncomfortable, said Lee Van Donselaar, assistant director for training.
“Sadly, there’s a stigma about mental health,” Van Donselaar said. “Students, and people in this society in general, are much more comfortable about going to see their physician than going to see a psychologist, so we thought it would be an opportunity for them, in an anonymous way, to ask some of these questions.” Students can submit questions to the website in categories including academic issues, grief and loss, stress anxiety and roommate relationships. The website currently has 15 responses written in an advice column format, allowing individuals to read both the question and answer in
hopes of helping students with similar problems. Subjects for these posts vary. One discusses homesickness and reads, “While living on campus, I have never felt homesick or missed my girlfriend, family or friends; does this make me insensitive?” The website also tackles issues with depression and grief: “What should one do when they are faced with an unexplained unhappiness?” and “Recently, a classmate and acquaintance of mine committed suicide by drowning.” Each response includes a probable diagnosis for the problem and several ways to deal with the issue. Van Donselaar said the
project’s goal was to get the information out there about whatever psychological issues students have. “Some [students] only need information, so it works well in that regard,” Van Donselaar said. “But for students that really need counseling, advice is just a first step. So, Charlie provides them with some information and encourages them to consider coming in to see a counselor.” A team of two at the counseling center primarily reviews the questions, but sometimes they consult outside sources to help them give answers. For example, Van Donselaar said some questions will have a medical component, leading the counselors to seek medical
About one-fifth of expected sign ups logged for Obamacare in October 26,294 registered for health insurance using federal site | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Planting a paltry number on a national disappointment, the Obama administration revealed Wednesday that just 26,794 people enrolled for health insurance during the first, flawed month of operations for the federal “Obamacare” website. Adding in enrollment of more than 79,000 in the 14 states with their own websites, the nationwide number of 106,000 October sign-ups was barely one-fifth of what officials had projected — and a small fraction of the millions who have received widely publicized private coverage cancellations as a result of the federal law. The White House raced to reassure anxious Democrats who are worried about the controversial program, which they voted into existence three years ago and which seems sure to be a major issue in next year’s election campaigns. The administration, trying to regain the initiative, for the first time indicated a willingness to consider legislation to stave off the wave of cancellations that’s
compounding the website technology problems. Some Democrats are seeking changes in Obama’s signature program, and key Republicans, many pressing for repeal, said that even Wednesday’s feeble sign-up figures appeared to be pumped up. The final number — 106,185 people — would be even smaller if it counted only those who finalized their enrollment by actually paying their first month’s premium, Republicans said. Administration officials and senior congressional Democrats expressed confidence in the program’s future. “We expect enrollment will grow substantially throughout the next five months,” said Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, who is in overall charge. “Even with the issues we’ve had, the marketplace is working and people are enrolling,” Sebelius said. Responding to GOP critics, she said the first premiums are not due until Dec. 15. The online, state-level insurance markets were envisioned as the new portal to coverage for people who don’t have health plans on the job. But the federal market was overwhelmed by technical problems when it opened Oct. 1, and the experience of state-run markets has been mixed. The administration said an additional 1 million individuals have been found eligible to buy
HJR-6: Majority decision to pass to administration
| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 University Senate chairperson David Pearson said a majority is needed to pass the recommendation and if passed, the recommendation will go the administration. Both the Faculty Council and University Council have already passed recommendations that the university make a public statement against HJR-6. University Provost Terry King encouraged input from the university governance system so the university can take a public stance against HJR-6. “The university administration feels strongly that Ball State must continue to be a welcoming and inclusive institution for all faculty members, students and staff,” King said in a statement to the Faculty Council on Oct. 31. Under Ball State’s Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action Policy, discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is prohibited and same-sex domestic partners of university employees can have employee spouse benefits. The Faculty Council was first to pass a recommendation for Ball State to come out against HJR-6. Faculty Council chairperson Kip Shawger said if University Senate doesn’t pass a resolution opposing HJR-6, it is hypocritical, because HJR-6 goes against Ball State’s principles. “We pride ourselves on being non-discriminatory,” Shawger
said. “Faculty who may come to teach at BSU who are samesex couples may not want to come to university. To know that Ball State is opposing it, it puts us in a good perspective with a lot of people.” The University Council, which represents administration, followed the lead of the Faculty Council and also passed a recommendation against HJR-6. University Council chairperson Mike Gillilan said the council felt it was the right thing to do. He said if HJR-6 passes, it will make Ball State and Indiana less attractive to potential faculty and administrators. “When it comes to professional employees, we want the best we can get,” Gillilan said. “The last thing we need is to have things that are considered barriers by potential candidates like an HJR-6 to deter or discourage people.” Gillilan hopes if Ball State makes a public statement, the legislature will value it. “[We would be standing with] Indiana University, Wabash [College], Cummins, Eli Lilly and Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce,” he said. “All of these groups with a wide variety of interests coming to an agreement on a single issue that we should not be writing discrimination into our state constitution.” The University Senate meeting will take place at 4 p.m. this afternoon in Burkhardt Building Room 109.

coverage on the markets, with about one-third qualifying for tax credits to reduce their premiums. Another 396,000 have been found eligible for Medicaid, the safety-net program that is shaping up as the health care law’s early success story. For many Democrats, concerns over the cascade of website problems have been compounded by the focus on Obama’s misleading promise that Americans who liked their health insurance plans could keep them under the overhaul. But millions of people are receiving cancellation notices. They have plans that for various reasons don’t qualify for the law’s “grandfather clause” protection against cancellations. Obama has said he’s sorry that people are losing their coverage and has vowed to find ways to address “holes and gaps” in the law. Advisers originally said the White House was considering administrative fixes, not legislative options. On Wednesday, Obama spokesman Jay Carney said, “If we can achieve this administratively, we will certainly look at that possibility,” but he added that the White House was also considering legislative ideas. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., scheduled an all-Democrats meeting Thursday with White House health care officials.

Republicans, meanwhile, are holding hearings to keep the overhaul’s problems in the spotlight ahead of an election year. “It’s kind of interesting to see as Obamacare implodes how everybody’s running for cover,” said Rep. John Mica, R-Fla. And Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said, “Obviously, panic has set in on the other side.” The administration has staked its credibility on turning the website around by the end of this month. From the president down, officials have said that HealthCare.gov will be running smoothly for the vast majority of users by Nov. 30. They have not specified what “running smoothly” means.
UNIVERSITY OFFICIALS TOUR VIETNAM
Ball State officials, along with four other universities, took a fiveday tour to Vietnam last week in hopes of broadening international academic relations. President Jo Ann Gora joined Ken Holland, director of the Center for International Development, and Tom Taylor, vice president for Enrollment, Marketing, and Communications, to represent Ball State through the International Academic Partnership Program. The Institute of International Education in New York City organized the program. Gora, Holland and Taylor visited 12 public and private Vietnamese universities while on tour. Holland said some goals in mind were to expand study abroad options, to recruit international students, to have joint faculty research and to help modernize the curriculum and teaching methods. Marquette University, Northern Arizona University, Stetson University and Slippery Rock University were the other universities that traveled to Vietnam’s Hanoi, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City. The group of representatives met with other leaders of eight different universities at a higher education round table in Ho Chi Minh City. “The visit was very successful,” Holland said. “Ball State will follow up with the connections made during the IAPP tour.” – STAFF REPORTS

MUNCIE BOARD CRITICIZED OVER PLANS FOR HIGH SCHOOL CLOSING
MUNCIE, Ind. (AP) — The Muncie School Board is taking more heat over its plans to close one of the city’s two high schools and end bus service for students because of budget troubles. Dozens of people wearing red Muncie Southside High School shirts packed Tuesday night’s school board meeting. The Star Press reports some people demanded the resignations of board members and top district administrators. Board members are planning to vote Monday on closing Southside High School, leaving the district with a single high school after years of declining enrollment. Voters last week defeated a proposed property tax increase that officials said was needed to keep school buses running. Board member Robert Warrner said no resignations are being sought and that the district’s administrators are highly respected across the state. –

6 HEALTH CENTERS IN INDIANA TO SHARE NEARLY $4.5M GRANTS INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The U.S. Health and Human Services has awarded nearly $4.5 million in grants to six health centers in Indiana. The department said Thursday the funds will be shared by Elkhart’s Heart City Health Center, Meridian Services Corp. in Muncie, the Jane Pauley Community Health Center in Indianapolis, Southlake Community Mental Health Center in Merrillville, Wabash Valley Health Center in Terre Haute and Fort Wayne’s Neighborhood Health Clinics. The agency estimates the grants will help deliver care to more than 42,000 Indiana residents. Nationwide, 236 health center programs will receive about $150 million in grants to serve more than 1.25 million additional patients.

FOURTH QUARTER WOES Failed conversion during crucial drive helps end chances
MAT MIKESELL CHIEF REPORTER | @MatMikesell
DEKALB, Ill. – Ball State again was 15 minutes from a real shot at beating Northern Illinois University. But like the previous two seasons, Ball State fell apart again in the fourth quarter, losing 48-27 Wednesday night. Along with the loss, Ball State’s dream at a Mid-American Conference title game is realistically gone while the crowd at Huskie Stadium chanted “B-C-S.” “I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t going to dwell on it,” quarterback Keith Wenning said. “Anytime you lose it sucks.” Ball State (9-2, 6-1 MAC) and Northern Illinois entered the fourth quarter tied at 27-27. Wenning couldn’t convert a short third down, giving the ball back to Northern Illinois. Two plays into the drive, it appeared the Cardinals’ fourth quarter luck against the two-time defending MAC Champions had changed. Huskies’ quarterback Jordan Lynch hit a wide-open Da’Ron Brown deep over the middle for a 54-yard pass with cornerback Eric Patterson in pursuit. Patterson jarred the ball loose from
Brown and safety Brian Jones fell on it as several Northern Illinois players fell on him. All of a sudden, Ball State had taken the momentum on the road in the fourth quarter. But the Cardinals’ offense stalled immediately after getting into opposing territory. Ball State’s offense stalled throughout the second half, mustering only three points on 214 total yards. Meanwhile, Northern Illinois (10-0, 6-0 MAC) put up 303 second half offensive yards, including a 21-point outburst in the game’s final five minutes. “We moved the ball and had long drives,” Wenning said. “But then the drive would just stall. I think that’s what the difference was between the first half and second half. Just a matter of finishing drives.” Lynch finished the game with an efficient 26-for-32 passing with 345 yards and two touchdowns. He also ran for 123 yards with two rushing touchdowns. His performance Wednesday night put him in serious consideration for an invitation to New York for the Heisman Trophy presentation. “Obviously he’s a very good player,” head coach Pete Lembo said. “He’s very fast and built like a linebacker. But he’s got tailback speed.” Wenning put up impressive numbers of his own, throwing
35 for 49 for 324 yards and a touchdown. But a pick-six late in the game contributed to the blow out score. With the MAC West crown at stake for Ball State Wednesday night, the loss will sting more than the previous losses to
Northern Illinois. “We’re not stupid, we knew what was on the line,” Wenning said. “It definitely hurts. But a loss is a loss at the end of the day.” The Cardinals still have a shot at a 10-win season with the regular season finale
against Miami of Ohio on Nov. 29. A 10th win should help Ball State’s bowl destination, which could be a MAC tie-in bowl game. The players will dwell on the loss on the bus ride back to Muncie, but Lembo isn’t
concerned about his team not being ready for the RedHawks. “They will [be ready],” Lembo said. “They’ve been awesome from day one. That’s not going to change on game 12 in year three ... we still have a lot to play for.”
and two touchdowns. “Jordan is a great player,” sophomore linebacker Ben Ingle said. “He has size and he has speed, so it’s very hard, but you can’t beat yourselves by missing tackles.” Ball State had one last chance to come back from the deficit. With less than five minutes left, Ball State faced a fourth and one from the Northern Illinois 46-yard line.
Ball State gave the ball to its workhorse running back, junior Jahwan Edwards. Edwards was stopped for a one-yard loss. Despite his last carry of the game, Edwards finished with 29 carries for 156 yards and one score. His longest carry was for just 13 yards. Ball State was missing backup and changeof-pace running back Horactio
Banks, as it was reported he had a torn ACL before the game. “I was very pleased with how effectively we ran the football today,” Lembo said. “Overall, we felt very good that we were staying on schedule running the football.” Ball State led at halftime, 24-20, but was held to just three points in the second half. “We just couldn’t keep the
drives going,” senior quarterback Keith Wenning said. “We moved the ball, we had a long drive to get it on their side of the field, but it just kind of stalled. I think that was the difference between the first half and the second half.” In the second half, Wenning was 15-of-23 for 126 yards and one interception, a picksix late that sealed the win for the Huskies.
The loss moves Ball State to 9-2 on the year. It has a chance to get to 10 wins, for the first time since the 2008 season, on Nov. 29 against Miami University. “We have a chance to [earn the 10th win] this next game, so we have plenty to play for,” Lembo said. “We get this next win, we know it’s going to enhance our chances to go to a really nice postseason bowl game.”

Final regular season weekend ends with road trip Offensive hitters challenge Fredrich, Shondell’s defense |
DAVID POLASKI ASST. SPORTS EDITOR @DavidPolaski
Ball State has seen its fair share of strong outside hitters lately. It doesn’t get any easier Friday, when the Ball State women’s volleyball team travels to Northern Illinois University in the final weekend of the regular season. After facing Lauren Rafdal, who leads the Mid-American Conference in kills, the Cardinals will take on Mackenzie Roddy. Roddy is an outside hitter for the Huskies and is fifth in
the MAC in kills per set. The junior has 37 kills in her last three matches, including 15 against Miami University. She will be countered by one of the best defensive teams in the MAC. Senior libero Catie Fredrich leads a Ball State defense that’s second in the MAC in digs with 16.7 per set. “Having everyone on the top of their game will be important,” Hayley Benson, a sophomore middle blocker, said. “We’ve got a lot of depth and diversity that goes a long way.” That depth will be tested against Northern Illinois, which brings two players with more than 300 kills and another who is quickly approaching that mark. By comparison, Ball State
has one player who has more than 300 kills — sophomore outside hitter Alex Fuelling. Senior middle blocker Mindy Marx is 23 kills away from that mark, but Marx, Fuelling and Benson are the few Ball State players with more than 200 kills. Ball State will need all those players to play well if they want to come out of DeKalb, Ill., with a win Friday night. Last time the team went on the road, it lost 3-1 to a University of Akron team that had one conference win at the time. “Unbelievable,” Ball State head coach Steve Shondell said after the Akron loss. “All I can say is unbelievable.” Northern Illinois isn’t an easy place to win. The team is 12-5 at home this season
and has won its last three matches there, dropping two sets in the process. With two matches remaining in the season, the Cardinals’ match against the Huskies could play a pivotal role in MAC Tournament seeding. Ball State sits at 10-4 in the MAC while Northern Illinois is 9-5. A win for Northern Illinois would give the two teams the same record, but Northern Illinois would have the tiebreaker. Both teams have already clinched berths in the tournament and now look to position themselves to receive the best possible position and momentum as the season closes. The match starts at 7 p.m. at the Victor E. Court in DeKalb, Ill.

CROSS COUNTRY
BALL STATE PREPARES FOR FINAL MEET, FINISHED LAST IN MAC TOURNAMENT Ball State will head to its last meet of the season Friday at the Great Lakes Regional in Madison, Wis. The 6k women’s race is scheduled to start at noon at the Thomas Zimmer Championship Cross Country Course. At last year’s Great Lakes Regional, the Cardinals finished 24th out of 32 teams with a combined score of 713. The Cardinals managed to come out ahead against instate competitors — IUPUI ranked 25th, IPFW ranked 26th and Valparaiso University ranked 30th, including the league rival Western Michigan University, which ranked 27th. Then-senior MaryKate Mellen led the Cardinals with her careerbest time of 22:09. Returning back to this race from the Cardinals is sophomore Katelyn DeVries, who came in as the team’s second-best runner last season in the 104th spot with a time of 22:12. Also making a return is junior Courtney Edon, who crossed the finish line at 22:58 for the 147th spot. For the past two seasons, the Cardinals haven’t been able to break past the 24th spot in this race. Ball State is coming off a finish from the 2013 Mid-American Conference Championship on Nov. 2 in Bowling Green, Ohio. Ball State finished last out of 12 teams, but three Ball State runners earned their career best marks. – STAFF REPORTS
FIRST HOME GAME OF REGULAR SEASON BRINGS FORMER PLAYERS TO WORTHEN Players from WNIT team will attend celebratory event CRAWFORD CHIEF REPORTER | DAKOTA @DakotaCrawford_ The excitement of raising a banner won’t make up for another tough loss. The Ball State women’s basketball team opened its season in defeat on Sunday with a 57– 63 loss at Purdue. The Associated Press ranked the Boilermakers No. 18 in its Top 25 poll, but the Cardinals felt as though they beat themselves. “You never really want to feel that way. So hopefully we can take care of the ball a little bit better [this week],” head coach
Brady Sallee said. Ball State opens its home schedule against Pittsburgh University tonight at 7 p.m. The Panthers finished last season with a 9-21 record under first-year head coach Suzie McConnell-Serio. Sallee is preparing for the Atlantic Coast Conference opponent with the mindset of improving on his season-opening loss. Ball State turned the ball over 28 times in the down-tothe-wire game. Much like the team’s upset of the University of Minnesota in last year’s Women’s National Invitational Tournament, the outcome was decided in the closing minute. Ball State held a lead early in the first half against Purdue
but began to slow down as halftime closed in. Purdue tied at the break, and then pulled away in the second. The Cardinals went down swinging, as they pulled within three points with just over one minute left in the game. Led by junior guard Brittany Carter’s 19 points, the offense was somewhat top-heavy. Sophomore Nathalie Fontaine scored another 16 and senior Katie Murphy added 10. Sallee said he wants to see a more balanced scoring attack in today’s home opener. Making the necessary changes might come down to film from the loss at Purdue. “We took time to watch the film and look at the things that got us beat,” Sallee said.
“Hopefully we learn from them and we’re eager to put a different product on the floor.” It will be the team’s first home game since last season’s WNIT run that ended with a Sweet 16 loss to Kansas State. The banner marking the team’s achievement will be hung in Worthen Arena tonight. Though Sallee wasn’t looking ahead to the ceremony on Wednesday, he said it’d be special “in the moment.” “It’s going to be great,” he said. “Because Shanee’ Jackson and Lyzz Smith, two kids that aren’t with us this year that were a big part of [the tournament run], they’re going to be back, so we’ll have that group in tact. It will definitely be special.”

Meeting someone at a party. Getting stressed out and looking for a release. Being bored with a friend. Casual sex comes in many forms. What is apparent is that hookups are common for millennials, and they might even replace relationships for many college students, according to an article by CNN. Alyssa Bennett, a sophomore psychology major, said she sees why casual sex is appealing for college students. “A lot of people I know don’t have time to get into a relationship, so that body contact with a stranger or a friend holds them over for a while,” she said. “Personally, I find nothing wrong with having casual sex. If it’s what you need at the time, then you should go out and find someone to distract you from reality for at least a couple minutes. I don’t need an emotional connection or romance; you just need two people willing to get dirty.” According to the American Psychological Association, between 60 and 80 percent of North American college students have had casual sex. Even though Bennett Williamson said he doesn’t have hookups, he still supports people who do. “I’m all for casual sex, I mean I don’t have it, but if you do then get on with it,” the junior fashion design major said. Dena Mullins, a physiology and health science instructor, said the stigma that women aren’t supposed to enjoy sex still exists. But Sarah Heimann, a senior psychology major, thinks otherwise. “People may look down on women for doing it, but I know more women who go through men than men who are womanizers,” Heimann said. “It’s normal for people our age. It’s
what we do. It’s not going to end.” People are having the same amount of casual sex now as they were decades ago, such as in the ‘80s, Mullins said. People just talk about it more now. “I think people are more open today,” she said. “I definitely see that with students talking about topics that people in my generation — and I’m in my 40s — would have never talked about in front of other people.” The media has a lot of influence on how people view sex today, according to APA. Often, media shows that uncommitted sex can be enjoyable physically and emotionally. APA cites movies like “Hooking Up” and “No Strings Attached” emulating the stereotype. Though one opinion is that hookups are replacing relationships, some students disagree. Casual sex may be common, but they say it doesn’t completely replace the need and want for relationships. “Casual sex doesn’t replace dating, but it kind of fills a void that is left without a relationship,” said Dannielle Jarrett, a freshman business major. “For example people ‘talking’ to each other will have sex months before they date. The physical part is there, but the emotional part is still catching up. That’s when they start dating.” Junior social work major A.J. Owens said both casual sex and relationships take time. “It takes just as long to find someone to fool around with than to date,” Owens said. “Don’t get me wrong, I think casual sex is fine, but the time still goes into it. But sometimes people don’t have the time to dedicate their time to a relationship.” Ryan Howe contributed to this story.
THE SCIENCE BEHIND ORGASMS Men
• Average length: 10-15 seconds, 30 seconds max •T he lead up for male orgasms is a pulsing ensation traveling from the anal sphincter to the tip of the penis. •T he actual orgasm is made up of rhythmic contractions in the sphincter, prostate and penile muscles. •S emen then travels from the testicles through the prostate gland before ejaculation through the urethra. •E jaculation can continue for a few seconds after the euphoria ends. • After orgasm, men experience a refractory period, which can last less than a minute to hours or days, causing men to not be able to have back to back orgasms.
Women • Average length: 15-20 seconds, can go for minutes. • Clitoral erection and vaginal moistness are two indicators that a woman is approaching orgasm. • Another sign for some women is skin turning red or flushed. • As a woman nears orgasm, clitoral glans move forward underneath the clitoral hood. The inner lips of the vagina also darken in color. • The outer vagina narrows and tightens, while the rest of the vagina dilates. Soft tissue inside the vagina becomes engorged. • Nipples become more erect with the orgasm, and areolas reach their maximum diameter. • With a full orgasm, the uterus, vagina, anus and pelvic muscles contract pleasurably.

Student fans win tickets to see comedian Jim Gaffigan at Emens Auditorium LINDSEY RILEY STAFF REPORTER
Instead of checking out a book on Nov. 6, Jess Cooney, a senior telecommunications major, went to Bracken Library hoping to win a ticket to see Jim Gaffigan Friday night. She succeeded. Last week, the staff at John R. Emens Auditorium generated buzz about the comedian’s performance by having a scavenger hunt contest for five pairs of free tickets. Every day, the staff posted a trivia question about Gaffigan on its Facebook page, and after someone posted a correct answer, a photo clue was released. Within minutes, a lucky winner would collect a voucher to take to the box office to get the tickets. Cooney said she was getting ready to leave campus after her classes when she remembered the contest. She said she had a gut feeling about it and decided to park her car again and wait for the clue to be posted. “I pieced together that all of the clues were within walking distance [of Emens].”

He has appeared in a variety of movies and television shows and starred in the Broadway production “That Championship Season.” On Friday, Gaffigan will be at Emens Auditorium on his White Bread tour. The show begins at 8 p.m. Tickets cost between $4050. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit the Emens box office.

TIME TO TAKE A STANCE AGAINST RESOLUTION
AT ISSUE: 
Ball State needs to show opinion of HJR-6
Faculty Council chairperson Kip Shawger has it right — Ball State prides itself on being non-discriminatory. We were disappointed that Ball State didn’t step forward at the same time as Indiana University to show disapproval for House Joint Resolution 6, which would define marriage as between a man and a woman in the state constitution. The resolution already puts Indiana forward as an extremely conservative state that clearly won’t accept all kinds of people. Same-
sex marriage is already illegal, we get it. This is just grinding the hostility farther into the ground. Thankfully, Faculty Council, University Council and Student Government Association have stepped forward with their own legislation to urge Ball State to react. Hopefully, University Senate will follow suit today. Five organizations and 324 students sponsored SGA’s resolution. SGA bills rarely get more than 10 sponsors, let alone more than 300.
Clearly, we aren’t the only students on campus who care about the insensitive and exiling resolution. HJR-6 would not only make current faculty members feel unwelcome at Ball State, but it would deter potentially great professors and faculty from coming to our campus and state. Ball State also offers health benefits to domestic partnerships as it does marriages, which shows the feelings of the university already.

this on an individual basis and must consult the writer before withholding the name. Those interested in submitting a letter can do so by emailing opinion@bsudailynews.com or editor@bsudailynews.com
But Ball State needs to make it clear to actually affect the progress of the bill. IU, Wabash College and Depauw University have already shown their concern. If Ball State doesn’t stand up, it will look like they don’t care about the equal opportunities they currently offer. If Ball State truly cares about its community as much as its actions show, now is the time to show the state and nation that they are willing to stand up for what’s right.
The Daily News encourages its readers to voice their views on legislative issues. The following legislators represent the Ball State community:

WAYS TO HELP
“We were able to rent out the penthouse and skyscraper in Manila, it was only about 20 stories up, but our party got rained out because a typhoon came in,” Boman said. “It was a small one compared to the one that just hit them, but to just see rain dumped across a city and you have this view and there is just water everywhere.” While Boman found the news worrisome, he was not surprised because multiple, destructive typhoons have hit the country in the past. “It was a bad case of déjà vu when I saw the recent stories with cities being knocked over, flooded and lives lost,” Boman said. “It’s just tragic it keeps happening over and over.” Questions filled Boman’s mind after hearing of the typhoon. “I wanted to check if it was hitting any of the people I knew, is it hitting Manila?” he said. “[I was thinking] don’t let this be like one of those tsunamis that wiped out so many people. Even though it was tragic, I was, in part, relieved it wasn’t a lot worse.” At the moment, Chi Alpha has no plans to send official aid to the Philippines. The thing that struck Boman the most about the Filipino reaction was not the expected posts about asking prayers, but how some people were casual and posting YouTube videos and complaints about homework. Rebecca Ludwig, student president of Chi Alpha Christian Fellowship, said the
Four days after Typhoon Haiyan struck the eastern Philippines, assistance is only just beginning to arrive. Authorities originally estimated the storm killed 10,000 or more across a vast swath of the country, and displaced around 660,000 others.

Once I started see the bodies, I couldn’t really watch anymore because it just broke my heart.”

NEVER TRUST
A MARKET NAMED AFTER AN ANIMAL THAT TRAMPLES PEOPLE. Bull markets tempt investors with short-term gains. At TIAA-CREF, we invest wisely, for the long haul. It’s earned us the 2013 Lipper Award for Best Overall Large Fund Company. That’s how we deliver Outcomes That Matter.
Intelligent, informed investing. Award-winning performance. Get started at TIAA.org/award.
BEST OVERALL LARGE FUND COMPANY The Lipper Award is based on a review of 36 companies’ 2012 risk-adjusted performance.
The Lipper award is given to the group with the lowest average decile ranking of three years’ Consistent Return for eligible funds over the three-year period ended 11/30/12. TIAA-CREF was ranked against 36 fund companies with at least five equity, five bond, or three mixed-asset portfolios. TIAA-CREF mutual funds have achieved high rankings over various asset classes and market cycles. The 2012 Lipper/Barron’s overall ranking was determined by weighting five fund categories in proportion to their overall importance within Lipper’s fund universe. TIAA-CREF’s overall ranking was 10th out of 62 mutual fund families for one-year performance, and 29th out of 53 mutual fund families for five-year performance. TIAA-CREF did not qualify for the 10-year ranking. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
