hen Natasha Cox woke up on June 25, she found some unexpected news. After getting on Facebook — or as she called it, her “morning newspaper” — she found out that Indiana had lifted the ban on same-sex marriage. She immediately woke up her partner, Ryder, and said, “Honey, we can get married.” The couple started that day by calling the Delaware County Building and asking around, but realized they would have to wait a day while the County Building received the proper documents. So they went about their day as usual and worked at the Mark III Taproom, the gay bar they own with Keith Martz, Natasha’s father. After work, they went home, stayed up all night and arrived at the County Building the following morning.

Junior midfielder scores only goals of match as Cardinals advance CAINS CHIEF REPORTER | ZACH @ZPC1329
Entering Sunday’s quarterfinal match against Kent State, the junior midfielder admitted that her confidence wasn’t what it was last year. “At this point last year, I had five or six goals already,” Musleh said. “Before today, I’ve only been able to score once.” Against the Golden Flashes, she doubled her season scoring. With the match knotted at zero midway through the second half, Musleh scored twice within 15

Small in stature but quick with his feet, Ball State running back Teddy Williamson has tried to make an impact while Horactio Banks misses time. Williamson has spent most of the season as the No. 3 running back on the depth chart behind Banks and starter Jahwan Edwards. But after Banks suffered a hamstring injury leading up to the game against Central Michigan, Williamson has seen his role increase. Against Akron, he sliced past the Zips punt protection and blocked the kick, setting up a Ball State touchdown four plays later. He also received six carries in the game, relieving Edwards and seeing playing time late in the contest. He finished with negative one yard, which running backs coach Justin Lustig said is a poor indicator of Williamson’s performance. “If you look at those six touches, four or five of them came at the end of the game when Akron knew we were running,” Lustig said. “I have all the trust in the world to put him in for Edwards.” Being a third string player, Williamson normally receives less playing time than his counter-

parts when they’re both healthy. He’s had just 15 carries this season; the most he had in a single game was the season opener against Colgate when he carried the ball seven times for 32 yards. Despite not seeing the ball as much as a starter, he stays alert during games and in practice, knowing there’s a chance his number could be called at any moment if a player becomes injured. The situation with Banks being a prime example. “It’s something we work on in practice, having the ‘next man up,’ mentality,” Williamson said. “I have to be ready to step up if a play goes down, that’s my mentality.” If Williamson enters the game, he’s bringing a different style of running than Edwards and Banks. He’s just 5-foot-9 and 187 pounds, a far cry from Edwards’ 219 pounds, meaning there’s no

mistaking one for another on the football field. When running against Akron, Williamson was quickly engulfed by the opposing defensive line and linebackers. Not sharing Edwards’ size means he can’t shrug off tacklers and power his way into the end zone. “I realize I have to stay behind
my blocks and wait for things to set up a little bit more,” Williamson said. “I can’t just try to run through everybody. When I see the hole, I have to use my speed to explode through it.” With Banks’ status for the upcoming home game against Northern Illinois in doubt, Lustig said he expects Williamson to continue getting in-
creased playing time. Not only does it provide a change of pace from Edwards’ power running, but it gives Ball State’s workhorse a chance to rest his body, which takes a beating every game. “We talk about being smart, reliable and tough,” Lustig said. “He fits all three of those, so we have to find a way to get him playing time.”
Junior set to shatter totals Redshirt improves offensive numbers every year at school JAKE FOX ASST. SPORTS EDITOR | @fakejox3 Ball State women’s volleyball middle hitter Hayley Benson has increased her production every year for the Cardinals. This season, Benson is on pace to shatter her careerbest totals. Her most recent performance, against Mid-American Conference opponent Western Michigan, was a representation of her 2014 season to date. “Tonight, [Benson] came out, and she had a spring in her step again and she had her arm back,” head coach Steve Shondell said. “She was huge for us tonight.” Benson carved up the Broncos’ defense to the tune of 19 kills on 31 total attacks. She had three attack errors, while registering a .516 attack percentage. This performance followed a rare match in which Benson struggled, managing only 11 kills and a .192 attack percentage. Benson said she knew she needed to have a bounce back match against MAC rival Western Michigan. “I think it was totally mental,” Benson said. “Last night, I kind of had a rougher game, and then I just knew I needed to bounce back really well tonight. We knew that this was going to be a tough match, so just really getting mentally prepared for this game was key.” Benson’s mental preparation and physical skill set have allowed her to lead the Ball State offense throughout the season. A redshirt junior, Benson has recorded 284 total kills through the Cardinals’ 25 matches this season. She has hit an efficient .374 percentage with only 64 errors on 589 attacks. Benson averages 2.87 kills per set. Benson currently sits in second place in the MAC in hitting percentage. She also ranks tied for 10th in kills per set. When the offense is click-

Head coach Craig Roberts said he wasn’t surprised with Musleh’s performance, and feels it could be all she needs to get back on track. “We have talked about [Musleh] not just being a good player, but a special player,” Roberts said. “We were waiting and knew that she could break out at any moment.” The shutout was the ninth time Ball State has shutout an opponent this year and the sixth time at home.
Ball State will face No. 1 seed Buffalo in a road match on Friday, as the Cardinals seek to avenge a 2-1 loss from the last time the two sides played in late October. Buffalo scored the match-winning goal, after a controversial call on a handball that awarded the Bulls a penalty kick. Upon looking at the tape after the match, the call was seen to be incorrect, hitting a Ball State player in the head instead of their hand. “It was a bad call that really screwed us over,” Musleh said. “We are going out there looking for revenge, because we should have won the first time.”

Before she became a choreographer, the Ball State “Rocky Horror Picture Show” director was a “virgin” to the show. Brianna Bradley, a junior, became choreographer her freshman year after auditioning for Columbia, one of the main characters. She directed her first show Friday evening. “I got involved through a callout email that was sent out, and ‘Rocky Horror’ was just one of those shows I always said if I had the opportunity that I would definitely try out,” Bradley said. Bradley’s cousin introduced her to “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” when she was 16. “The first time I was ever involved in the shadow cast was also the first time I ever experienced the ‘Rocky Horror Picture Show’ live,” Bradley said. Bradley was choreographer her freshman and sophomore year. She said she was also considered the unofficial assistant director her sopho-
MARRIAGE:
| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 On June 26, Ryder and Natasha became the first samesex couple to be married in Delaware County. “When we got there, it was just the two of us,” Natasha said. “But the numbers kept growing, and it was 10 of us, and then 20, and it was so overwhelming and so beautiful.” The couple got the paperwork, ran down to Cornerstone Center for the Arts on Main Street, and said their vows in front of a few friends and Martz. The couple then went to a celebratory lunch at Red Lobster, and later headed to the Mark III, where a few other couples came to celebrate their marriage and milestone in LGBTQ rights in Indiana. “It was overwhelming to see all the love at the bar that night,” Ryder said as tears filled her eyes. “...being married finally, and having people come here, to the bar we call home, and celebrate was overwhelming.” The Mark III Taproom, sitting on Main Street in downtown Muncie, is one of Indiana’s oldest gay bars. Surrounded by businesses already closed for the day, the orange and red neon sign reading “The Mark III Taproom” illuminated the block and the people spilling out of the front door of the narrow build-

ing on Saturday. Clouds of smoke and breath rose into the air as small groups of costumed patrons gathered outside smoking cigarettes as they waited for the next performer to take the stage. When the music stopped, and a man’s voice boomed over the speakers, the smokers doused and flicked their cigarettes aside and shuffled into the bar. Inside, the long and narrow Mark III was crowded. Conversations could be heard just before the host introduced drag queen Amaya Sexton. As the mash up of Nancy Sinatra’s “Bang Bang” and Jessie J’s “Bang Bang” comes busting through the speakers and the queen emerges from the curtain, eyes turn to the stage. It wasn’t an average drag show, but a celebration to honor the two-year anniversary since Ryder, Natasha and Martz claimed ownership of the bar. “This is more than just a bar,” Natasha said. “It’s a place to go and be accepted, and it’s a place that Ryder and I hold very dear to our hearts. I mean it’s where we met.” More than eight years ago, Ryder was sitting at the Mark III with her mom, when Natasha and Martz walked in. Ryder immediately noticed Natasha and thought “Holy cow,” but never imagined that the encounter at that drag show would change her life. For starters, Natasha was
in a heterosexual marriage at the time. “I thought she was beautiful, but I knew that she was married, and I thought she was straight, so I kept my distance,” Ryder said. “Our relationship really just started as friends, and it stayed that way for a few years.” The couple exchanged numbers and Myspace profiles that first night, and started hanging out at the bar, attending drag shows together as friends. This lasted for a few years, and most of the time spent together was at the Mark III. After Natasha’s divorce, her relationship with Ryder started to grow. One summer night at the bar, Natasha sat down beside Ryder and told her that she had feelings for her. “The first thing to pop into my head came spewing out of my mouth, and it was ‘Holy cow, are you serious?’” Ryder said. The two women went outside of the bar, where a summer thunderstorm was raging outside, and opened up to each other about their feelings for one another. It was then that their platonic relationship took a romantic turn. Their first date followed a few days later. The two went to dinner, and then went to Prairie Creek Reservoir for a late night walk. The dates continued, and they became exclusive. They attended their first pride together
and came out as a couple, which shocked some people. “I’m blessed because my dad is gay, and I was raised around very open-minded people,” Natasha said. “It’s not that I fell in love with her parts, which I do love, but I fell in love with her.” The couple soon moved in together and started combining their lives. Their first apartment was cluttered with both of their possessions, and they had to sort through what they had double of, and what they could get rid of. To them, it was easy; they agreed on virtually everything, and the excitement of combining their lives kept them happy. The couple became inseparable, only spending time apart when they went to work, but even that has changed. Two years ago when they took over the bar with Martz, the couple began whipping it back into good condition. They bartended together and put all of the profit the bar made back into the bar, living off of the tips they made each night. Today, they still work together every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday behind the bar, and when they aren’t at work, they are still together running errands, hanging out with friends, or more recently, moving into their first home together here in Muncie.

ARRESTS:
| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 People have a harder time walking to parties and bars around IU, Thomas said, which makes it harder for officers to spot illegal behavior. Excise officers patrolled Ball State Thursday through Saturday arresting or citing 42 people for 60 offenses in total. A 19-year-old woman was taken to IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital around 10:40 p.m. Friday. Officers saw her staggering while walking with another person on Locust Street and took her to the hospital where her blood alcohol con-

tent was registered as .265, according to the press release. Excise police patrolled other Indiana campuses Friday night, citing four people in Richmond near Earlham College for charges including illegal possession or consumption of alcohol, possession of false ID and possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. Four people were cited in Terre Haute near Indiana State University. Two minors were issued summons for possession or consumption of alcoholic beverages. Two adults were also cited for furnishing alcoholic beverages to a minor and inducing a minor to possess an alcoholic beverage.

MIDTERM ELECTIONS AFFECT MORE THAN YOU THINK These types of columns happen every election. They’re a little too late to make any difference, because you forgot to register to vote. At least you’re not alone: Midterm elections get a 40 percent voter turnout rate, so 60 percent of Americans forgot to use their constitutional right to have a say in their government. National elections get more attention. They’re flashier, with more campaign ads and candidates who are less likely to be your former gym teacher. They also attract 70 percent of eligible voters to the polls. But midterm elections are more important than federal elections because they impact your daily life. The Indiana state government affects your public education, your taxes and what parts of the Affordable Care Act impact you. Your local government con-

trols public transportation, the fire department and even your sewer system. The township trustee determines how much money emergency services receive. The works department affects how many construction projects are started in your town, and how many jobs those projects create. The officials elected during midterms control your property value, your local taxes, your cost of living. President Barack Obama doesn’t have that kind of impact on your life. Democracy only works when every person’s voice is heard. Pew Research says only 19 percent of people trust
what the federal government is doing. If you’re not voting, you’re not fixing the problem. If you’re not using your voice, it could be taken away from you. Voter ID laws across the country are taking away voting rights, primarily targeting minorities and young voters. According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, a federal appeals court allowed Texas to uphold their strict voter ID laws for 2014. Those same laws are under appeal in the Supreme Court for targeting young and minority voters, people who normally vote for Democrats.
Seven states have strict voter ID laws, including Indiana. In states with strict voter ID laws, you need a legal government issued identification. People like Texas man Olester McGriff lose their right to vote because of this. According to the Christian Science Monitor, McGriff brought his birth certificate, his expired driver’s license and voter registration card to vote. Even with these pieces of identification, he was denied. State government enacts these voter ID laws. The officials your individual vote has the most control over are the people who impact your right to vote. People across the globe fight, protest and even die for the right to have a say in their country. So, register to vote, show up at the polls and use the voice you’ve been given as a citizen.
