EDITOR’S NOTE: Jessica Johnson and Jake Brown are pseudonyms for students who wish to remain anonymous.

A good attitude goes a long way when confronting police, especially when they decide whether someone will receive a ticket instead of a ride to jail.

Brandon Thomas, an Indiana Excise Officer, said the last thing a person should do is run from police when they hear sirens or see lights.

“Just don’t walk away,” Thomas said. “Running into your house doesn’t help you.”

When police see people running into houses to escape them, they may enter those houses under the Uniform Act on Fresh Pursuit.

He said most often police will issue tickets instead of taking suspects to jail as long as the suspects are cooperative and not a danger to themselves or others.

or the past three years, at least one thing was true for the Ball State men’s basketball team: Jesse Berry could score.

The 6-foot-2 senior guard has been second-leading scorer for the last two years, playing second fiddle to his elders — Jauwan Scaife in 2013 (16.6 ppg) and Jarrod Jones in 2012 (14.7 ppg). As Ball State went 49-43 over the last three seasons, Berry has averaged 10 points per game, and his average has climbed every year.

Berry has shown flashes of being a prolific scorer capable of OUTLOOK FOR NEW carrying a team, like the time he went for a career-high 28 points SEASON Read a column against Western Michigan last season. on the increased But scoring is a means to end for Berry and the reinvented tempo for the 2013-14 season Cardinals. + PAGE 4 “I’m going for it all, I want to win,” Berry said. “My mindset is ‘we’re going all the way.’”

Ball State has gone 24-24 in conference play the past three seasons, and has not won a tournament game since Berry’s freshman year. This year the Cardinals were pegged to finish fourth in the MAC West, a ranking first-year head coach James Whitford does not put much stock in.

“The reality is, I don’t really know what to expect from this team,” Whitford said. “I’ve been really impressed with our progress so far. I think we have a high character group, and I feel like we’re working really hard, and we’re getting better. I can see the progress every day. We’re going to have a learning curve early, but if we continue to work at the pace we’re working, there’s going to be a day this season when I think we become a dangerous team.”

FORMER STUDENTS KEY TO FUNDRAISING University President leaving many projects ready for successor SAM HOYT CHIEF REPORTER | sthoyt@bsu.edu Ball State alumni and benefactors expect whoever succeeds President Jo Ann Gora to continue working with them to keep raising Ball State’s reputation.

Gora, who became president in the summer of 2004 and plans to leave in the summer of 2014, has worked with alumni and benefactors to raise funding and awareness for many projects at Ball State in the last decade.

One example of Gora’s fundraising is the “Ball State Bold Capital Campaign.” In 2008, the university aimed to raise $200 million. It surpassed its goal, raising $210 million, with more than $70 million coming from more than 40,000 alumni.

Fred Cox, a 1974 graduate, joined an alumni constituent group in 1987, Alumni Council in 2002 and became the chair in 2013.

He said Gora worked to improve alumni relations by attending alumni meetings.

“Being interactive with all students — both past, present and future — is going to be key to whomever the next president [is],” Cox said.

Gora’s ambition, energy and engagement are qualities Cox wants the next president to possess.

LAX gunman acts alone 1 killed, 3 more hurt in Friday shooting aimed at TSA worker

District needs funds to continue operation of student pick-up

| THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — The 23-yearold charged as the gunman in the deadly shooting at Los Angeles International Airport told authorities at the scene that he acted alone and had been dropped off by a friend, a law enforcement official who has been briefed on the investigation told The Associated Press on Sunday.

Authorities do not believe the friend knew that Paul Ciancia, the man charged in the attack, planned to open fire inside LAX’s Terminal 3 just moments later, killing one Transportation Security Administration officer and wounding three other people, including two more TSA workers, said the official, who is not authorized to speak publicly about the investigation and requested anonymity.

Ciancia was dropped off in a black Hyundai and was not a ticketed passenger. He was able to respond to investigators’ questions at the scene Friday, the official told the AP exclusively.

Ciancia, an unemployed motorcycle mechanic who grew up in the small, blue-collar town of Pennsville, N.J., was shot four times and was under 24-hour armed guard at the hospital, the official said. Ciancia was sedated for medical reasons, the official said, adding that one gunshot to the mouth blew a molar out of the suspect’s jaw.

Federal prosecutors charged Ciancia on Saturday with murder of a federal officer and committing violence at an international airport. The charges could qualify him for the death penalty.

In court documents and interviews, authorities spelled out a chilling chain of events, saying Ciancia walked into the airport, pulled a .223-caliber assault rifle from his duffel bag and fired

repeatedly at point-blank range at 39-year-old TSA officer Gerardo I. Hernandez, killing him.

He then fired on at least two other uniformed TSA employees and an airline passenger, who all were wounded, before airport police shot him as panicked passengers cowered in stores and restaurants, authorities said.

It wasn’t clear why Ciancia targeted TSA officers, but what he left behind made it clear he intended to kill any of them who crossed his path, FBI Agent in Charge David L. Bowdich said.

The shooter’s duffel bag contained a handwritten letter signed by Ciancia stating he’d “made the conscious decision to try to kill” multiple TSA employees and that he wanted to “instill fear in their traitorous minds,” Bowdich said.

The letter also talked about “how easy it is to get a gun into the airport,” the law enforcement official said.

U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul, RTexas, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said on CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday he had seen the note and said Ciancia’s actions show how difficult it is to protect travelers at a massive airport such as LAX. The terminals are open and easily accessible to thousands of people who arrive at large sliding glass doors via a broad ring road that fronts the facility and is designed to move people along quickly.

“It’s like a shopping mall outside the perimeter, it’s almost like an open shopping mall,” McCaul said. “So it’s very difficult to protect.”

ALUMNI: Next EXCISE: Officer says cops misunderstood president must build on Gora’s work, says graduate | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Nicole Yankauskas, a 2011 graduate and former student member of the Board of Trustees, worked with Gora at board meetings and at university events.

“Being able to see her work firsthand was one of the highlights of my college career,” she said. “I still look up to her as an alumnus.”

She said the next president should continue to work on both new and old relationships with alumni and friends of Ball State.

“I think we have a good staff of administrators to keep that momentum going,” Yankauskas said.

John Scheumann, a 1971 graduate and current member of the Cardinal Commitment Campaign committee, was disappointed to hear Gora’s plans to leave, but said he knows Gora’s 40 years in higher education is a long time.

As part of the Cardinal Commitment Campaign, Scheumann is helping raise $20 million for athletic projects at Ball State. He said bringing in money is part of what presidents do, and Gora has done it well.

“She’s hard to say ‘no’ to,” he said.

He said if he could, Scheumann would clone Gora for her successor — her personality, energy and interactive attitude.

“She’s done a good job in all of those areas,” he said. “I think they will have a difficult time filling those shoes.”

Scheumann said Gora will leave the university at a good time for a new president to start.

“She’s laid some great groundwork for people to follow,” he said.

Muncie residents vote on tax raise for school buses

Thomas said he sees a dichotomy between the way students view officers throughout the week and the way they act toward police on the weekend.

During his shift Saturday, people shouted things like “cherries and berries,” “watch out” or, more overtly, “that’s a cop” when they spot Thomas.

However, as Thomas pointed out, those may be the same students who complain about a lack of security on campus. The issue has become especially pertinent because of recent nearor on-campus security threats over the past week, including a stabbing and armed robbery.

“It’s never going to go away,” Thomas said about the two contrasting opinions of police. “It’s just one of the things about law enforcement.”

He said another argument he hears often from people he is ticketing or arresting is, “Don’t you have somewhere else to be?

There are rapists and murderers to catch.”

“It’s not a matter of leaving one thing for another,” Thomas said. “If those things are happening we will pursue them ...

Everyone thinks they have an

idea about how to [be a police officer] but they are just naive about the job.”

Most of the crime Thomas deals with is “just college stuff” that would not happen if alcohol wasn’t involved.

“Everyone we deal with is intoxicated. You never know how they are going to act,” he said.

“That is just kind of the way alcohol works.”

Of the four individuals Thomas ticketed Saturday, all said they were afraid of losing scholarships.

Jessica Johnson, an 18-yearold with a scholarship to Indiana University, said she was worried she could lose it when Thomas issued her a ticket for minor consumption of alcohol.

“I don’t know how that is going to go,” she said, contemplating possible university repercussions. “My parents are going to kill me.”

Johnson walked away, after taking a Breathalyzer test that determined she had been drinking, with a ticket requiring her to appear in court.

Thomas said he hopes issuing tickets will help stop individuals from drinking too much.

Thomas said he had friends

in college who were great students until they began to drink excessively. They eventually left school without finishing their degrees.

“Maybe a minor consumption [citation] could have stopped that,” he said.

Run-ins with the law are not always effective at curving behavior, though.

Jake Brown, a 20-year-old, said it was his first visit to Ball State when he was ticketed for minor consumption of alcohol.

He said he knew he was going to get caught. He just “didn’t care.”

“Of course I’m coming back,” Brown said. “I told my parents I would ‘be safe but no promises.’”

Brown said the ticket won’t deter him from drinking before he is legally capable.

“Next weekend, maybe I may not be back out,” Brown said.

“But I will be back out soon.”

Thomas said he has little to do with an individual after he leaves them with a ticket or at the jail.

“I don’t know if they learned their lesson or not,” Thomas said. “I can hope they did but... you know?”

Residents on both sides of the “Vote Yes” and “Vote No” yard signs will make their final decision on whether or not local students will be able to ride yellow school buses as the Nov. 5 voting deadline approaches.

The vote revolves around a referendum proposed by the Muncie Community Schools to increase property taxes to fund the school bus system.

“If our referendum doesn’t pass, we will not have yellow buses next year,” said Tim Heller, superintendent of the MCS system.

The proposed referendum imposes 39.39 cents per every $100 that is assessed for properties in Center Township for seven years in an effort to raise $3.325 million to cover the total cost of the contracts with M&M Bus Services.

“We felt we needed to go to our stakeholders, go to our taxpayers, give them the opportunity to vote on whether or not we continue the school bus service we have had for many years,” said Mark Burkhart, MCS chief financial officer.

The issue stems from a combinations of lower enrollment and a drop in property tax revenue.

Enrollment in the Muncie schools has been dropping consistently since 1970 when enrollment was 20,000 students. This year the system services 6,500 students.

According to a study by the Ball State Center for Business and Economic Research, Dela-

ware County was the second most impacted in 2012 since the implementation of a tax cap and lost 36.09 percent of property tax revenue that it would have made without the cap.

The loss translated to 44 percent of the MCS’s total transportation fund, Burkhart said.

Burkhart also said only about half of property taxes in Center Township are able to be collected.

“There are two very large parcels that within our school district that are untaxed; Ball State University and Ball Memorial Hospital,” he said.

Although Burkhart revoked blame from the university, he said the 51 percent of individuals that do pay bear a heavier burden than other taxpayers.

Another part of the untaxed 49 percent originates from tax increment financing districts.

These districts reserve any revenue from property taxes to fund special projects in the area.

One of the biggest projects currently is the Village Promenade development area.

“They’re going to build a $60 million facility, but we won’t be able to collect on any of that,” Burkhart said.

The property that the development now sits on was assessed for $5 million before the old structure was demolished, all of which was taxed and helped fund the Muncie schools.

If the referendum passes, the school board will have to decide on a rate for each of the seven years that the referendum spans over.

The General Assembly also passed a protected tax law which will mandate that debt service funds, accounts that are reserved for paying an organization’s debt, be fully funded.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Freshman has goals to win MAC accolades Coach says Turner will have role as team’s point guard DAVID K. JONES STAFF REPORTER | @dkjones_BSU The Ball State men’s basketball team starts its 2013-14 campaign with new direction and leadership. James Whitford starts his first season as a head coach in his career, becoming Ball State’s 19th men’s basketball head coach.

“I like our talent level,” Whitford said about the upcoming season.

Ball State is coming off of a 1515 season where they made the Mid-American Conference tournament as a No. 8 seed. It graduated its leading scorer Jauwan Scaife, center Zach Fields and lost a letter-winning point guard in Marcus Posley.

Ball State gained four freshmen over the offseason to add to the veteran leadership of seniors Jesse Berry, Matt Kamieniecki and all-MAC big man Majok Majok. “[Majok’s] in better shape than he’s ever been,” Whitford said. “He’s stronger than he has ever been, his vertical is going up and I tell him everyday that his goal is being the MAC Player of the Year.”

Majok finished last season with a per-game average of 10.7 points and 9.8 rebounds. As a junior, Majok ranked in the top 20 nationally in rebounding, finished third in the MAC with nine double-doubles and a game-winning dunk that was a finalist for the GEICO Play of the Year.

The Cardinals added freshmen Zavier Turner, Mark Alstork, Franko House, Quinten

Payne, and freshman walk-on Kaleb Mallory.

With all of the additions, there still leaves questions of filling the shoes of the now-graduate assistant Jauwan Scaife. Scaife graduated with four letters, multiple MAC honors and school records.

Scaife ended his career on a tear, scoring at least 20 points in seven of the last 10 games, which led the Cardinals to a 7-3 run going into the MAC Tournament.

He also scored a career-best 34 points against Central Michigan University. Scaife was selected to

the second-team All-MAC in his senior season.

He also added his name to the list of 1,000-point scorers in Ball State history, set the school record of three-point attempts made finishing at 203 and threepoint attempts with 579.

Without Scaife, one of the biggest games that is on a couple players’ minds is the Dec. 17 match-up at Marquette.

“That game really stuck out to me,” Turner said about Marquette. “They already have the upper hand just because they are

a proven team and they are in a better conference.”

Turner has strong aspirations to be MAC Freshman of the Year.

“We need to get as many wins as we can so we can get to the MAC championship,” Turner said.

Whitford praised the Indianapolis native.

“He is very talented and very coachable,” Whitford said.

“We’ll rely on him heavily with being the point guard. He’s made incredible improvement in five weeks, expect him to have a big role.”

BERRY: Whitford brings experience from west coast | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Whitford brings with him a model of success, coaching under Sean Miller at the University of Arizona and Xavier University. For the past eight years with Whitford on the sideline, the Wildcats and Musketeers went 199-78 (.718) — Whitford went 50-20 the past two seasons as associate head coach with Miller.

have shifted, but Whitford said that because of the level of talent and work, the team improves each day — as should be the goal of every team.

“I think every team in America is working out kinks,” Berry said. “I don’t think anyone is perfect or will ever be perfect.”

One of those kinks for Ball State is finding more reliable outside shooters. Outside of Berry, the Cardinals return only two players that attempted a show from the threepoint line — senior Tyler Koch and sophomore Chase Brogna went 9 for 39.

When healthy, Koch has proven lethal from behind the arc, making three three-pointers in five games in 2011 while shooting 35.6 percent. But injuries limited his action last season and directly affected his shot.

This offseason Berry said he expanded multiple facets of his game. Whitford said he can utilize Berry at the one and two guard spots this season now, which will hopefully aid in the

development of the six new guards on the roster, including three freshmen and only one true point guard in the anticipated starter Zavier Turner.

“I don’t want to be known as just a shooter,” Berry said. “I want to get in the paint and make plays, and be on attack mode the whole game.”

Exceptional dribble drives and floaters will be needed to make opposing coaches forget about the 37.5 percent shooting from around the arc, but if what Whitford said is true, it might not matter.

“I think Jesse Berry is playing the best basketball of his life,” Whitford said.

Even so, Berry knows the key to success for him and Ball State is through all-conference big man Majok Majok, who Whitford said had the potential to win MAC Player of the Year with his new frame in a new system.

Whitford noted that Majok is down to 7.5-8 percent body fat and has a higher vertical

from last season when he was in the top-20 nationally for rebounding.

“If he only produces what he did a year ago, we’re not going to be as good as we want to be,” Whitford said.

Majok’s strong inside presence garnered waves of help defense from opposing teams last year, yet he averaged double-digits confined to the post without a very effective jumper.

“I’m looked at as a scorer, but we look to get the ball inside because Majok is a special force for us,” Berry said. “He’s a monster in the paint.”

Berry, Majok and Ball State’s success are intertwined in highscreens, pick-and-rolls and passes out of double teams, and Berry knows it.

“I think everyone just wants to win and do what they have to,” Berry said.

Some nights will call for a flurry of Berry, other nights he’ll need to facilitate. But whatever the situation calls for, Berry wants to have an answer.

THIS SEASON WILL BE FUN TO WATCH MATT McKINNEY KILLER CROSSOVER MATT McKINNEY IS A JUNIOR JOURNALISM MAJOR AND WRITES ‘KILLER CROSSOVER’ FOR THE DAILY NEWS. HIS VIEWS DO NOT NECESSARILY AGREE WITH THOSE OF THE NEWSPAPER. WRITE TO MATT ON TWITTER AT @MATT_D_McKINNEY.

Over the past few years, the Ball State men’s basketball team has not been as successful as desired.

The team has been just eight games above .500, going 48-40 since the beginning of the 2010 season, leading to the firing of former head coach Billy Taylor.

If that weren’t enough, the team has been flat out boring to watch.

The past three seasons, Ball State finished in the bottom half in the Mid-American Conference in scoring.

“Last year, with the half-court offense, I don’t think that really fit us,” senior guard Jesse Berry said. “We didn’t really get up and down. Now we’re getting up and down. You see guys really bringing out their true colors and really playing well.“ As new head coach James Whitford comes in, he brings a faster mindset, as well as a faster style of play on the court.

Whitford said during one practice, “It’s better to be quick and wrong than slow and right.”

As with any new coach, there will be growing pains. As the speed of the game increases, decisions must be made faster than in previous seasons.

A faster tempo for the offense will lead to more turnovers.

And Ball State is no stranger to turnovers.

The Cardinals finished 11th out of 12 teams in turnovers, with an average of 15.2 per game. It is likely they will average even more in the beginning of the 2013-14 season.

“Communication is a big thing,” senior forward Tyler Koch said about solving the turnover problem. “We have a lot of young guys. Once we start talking to each other, we’ll figure things out a lot quicker.”

Although the team has six freshmen, the starting lineup looks as though it will have four seniors: Berry, Koch, forwards Chris Bond and Majok Majok.

The new tempo will help keep opposing teams on their toes, never knowing when a fast break will happen. It will also keep fans on their feet

in the stands.

Koch, Berry and Whitford all agreed with the fact that fans will notice the up-tempo style of play immediately.

“We’ve all noticed it in practice,“ Koch said with a laugh. “I think they’ll notice.”

The difference will be evident as soon as tonight, when Ball State opens its season with an exhibition against Marion University.

“Especially coming from last year, they’ll say we’re playing much faster and more exciting,” Berry said.

Meaning no offense to the teams of previous seasons, Whitford said he wants to see a new intensity from the 2013-14 team.

“I hope [crowds] see a really passionate team that plays hard and is committed to 40 minutes of intense basketball,” Whitford said.

Will the 2013-14 Ball State men’s basketball team win more games than the past three seasons? Maybe.

Will it be more fun to watch?

Definitely.

THURSDAY Women’s volleyball takes on the University of Toledo at 7 p.m. in Worthen Arena

WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL

Seidel emotional leader of squad Senior setter coaches youth during her spare time at Munciana Volleyball Club POLASKI ASST. SPORTS EDITOR | DAVID @DavidPolaski Before the season began, Ball State women’s volleyball head coach Steve Shondell referred to senior Jacqui Seidel as the moral and emotional leader of the team.

It’s an easy argument to make, seeing as she’s competed in 91 matches throughout her Ball State career, seeing time in 10 as a freshman.

When Seidel entered Ball State, she sat behind Brittany McGinnis, who helped mentor her.

During Seidel’s sophomore season, she began slowly chipping away at McGinnis’ playing time until injury struck.

Late in the season, Seidel tore her ACL. She fought back and returned the next season, although Shondell said he thinks it wasn’t until the end of that season that she fully recovered and was able to play at the level she was at before the injury.

“I think I’m way more mentally tough than when I came in,” Seidel said. “Before college I wasn’t tested or challenged, but fighting for my position and through my injury, it made me the toughest player I could ever become.”

After returning from the injury, she was the starting setter on the team. The position has allowed her to naturally assume a leadership position, she dictates where the offense attacks from on nearly every point.

Over the 2013 season, Seidel has racked up 853 assists and is sixth highest in the Mid-American Conference with 9.37 assists per set. Those numbers have helped Ball State climb to the top of the MAC West confer-

WOMEN’S SOCCER

SENIORITY JACQUI SEIDEL, SENIOR SETTER • 91 matches played • 140 career kills • 2,407 career assists • 736 career digs • Career-high 62 assists against Central Michigan, Nov. 10, 2012

ence at 10-2.

“I think she’s a great athlete and a great person,” Shondell said before the season began.

“We know every time she goes out on the court that we’ve got a great chance to win.”

Her reach extends beyond helping the Ball State team. Seidel coaches young girls at the Munciana Volleyball Club and has had her students attend Ball State matches to cheer her on, occasionally bringing posters that say “Go Jacqui” on them.

She called the experience rewarding, helping others learn the sport she loves.

But after her match win against Eastern Michigan University, she said her life wouldn’t be the same without the group of seniors she’s been playing with throughout her time at Ball State.

“Those girls are my best friends, all of them,” Seidel said.

“I knew them in high school and we clicked from the beginning, I know we’ll be friends for life and that I can turn to them for anything.”

CONFERENCE WIN ADVANCES TEAM Late goal sends team to semifinals for 3rd time ever

|

EVAN BARNUM-STEGGERDA CHIEF REPORTER @Slice_of_Evan

From near misses on offense to frustrating goals, women’s soccer head coach Craig Roberts and the Cardinals have been left with disappointing results from a bad bounce more times than they’d care to think about — including their loss to Central Michigan earlier this year.

But now the only one they will remember is the ball that ricocheted off the cross bar and landed at Gabby Veldman’s feet.

In the 87th minute, the freshman winger slotted the gamewinner and propelled Ball State past Central Michigan 2-1, and into the semi-finals of the Mid-American Conference tournament for the third time in program history.

“I thought we were the better team out there today, and we got what we deserved,” Roberts said. “We’re excited to be able to win this for the program, and I think it’s a testament to the girls and how well they’ve played this season.”

The late game heroics were nothing new to the Cardinals, who have played in six overtime games and have had seven other games decided by one goal or fewer.

After a stalemate in the first half, Roberts tweaked Ball State’s approach and lineup, playing a different group of attackers together to try and break the game open.

But Central Michigan struck first in the 52nd minute off a goal from Eli Kerkhove, who Roberts thought was offside when the ball was played to her. Kerkhove’s goal was the

only offense the Chippewas could muster against the Cardinals’ defense and senior goal keeper Layne Schramm, who all returned to top form after a three-goal lapse against Miami University on Thursday.

“We were denying anything they were doing from the midfield down,” Roberts said. “We did a really good job keeping the ball down in our offensive third.”

There wasn’t even enough time for panic during the elimination game, as sophomore forward Elaina Musleh poked in the equalizer off a pass from sophomore Madison Oyer in the 65th minute.

“The girls responded well,” Roberts said. ”Like they’ve done all season, they adjusted and responded.”

Still in attack mode, Ball State continued pressing, firing off seven of its 17 shots in the 22 minutes between goals.

Finally Ball State drew a foul, and junior defender Cailey Starck lined up for the free kick.

Starck’s shot rattled the crossbar, but came flying away from the goal.

And instead of another mistimed play, Veldman came running on and buried the biggest goal in her collegiate career.

The win over Central Michigan not only advanced Ball State to the semifinals and vindicated the 1-0 double-overtime loss from a week ago, but also validated its place among the elite teams in the MAC. “I’ve said it since the beginning of the season and I think the team agrees, we’re not afraid to play anybody in the MAC,” Roberts said. “We think we can beat anybody in the MAC on a given day, and it’s time to take that into the next round.”

Besides Ball State, the remaining semifinal teams include No. 1 seed Eastern Michigan, No. 2 seed Miami and No. 4 seed Western Michigan.

Avery Leigh puts a dollar bill in her mouth during her performance in the second half of the Spectrum drag show on Saturday. The show raised more than $800 for Muncie OUTreach.

Drag show raises $849 for OUTreach, a Muncie youth LGBTQ support group ALICIA KELLY STAFF REPORTER | aakelly@bsu.edu

Shaking, shimmying and making it rain, performers this weekend were showered in singles, all for charity.

Spectrum hosted its Fall Semester drag show Saturday night at Ball Gymnasium. Admission to the show was free, but the organization accepted donations throughout the performances to raise money for Muncie OUTreach, a center for LGBTQ youth in Muncie.

Muncie OUTreach will use the donations to further programming and services going toward the LGBTQ community in Muncie, as well as promoting the organization that runs on donations. “Spectrum has been very supportive to our group,� said Laura Janney, the director of OUTreach. “This is the second year they have donated the proceeds of their drag show to us. They are very good at letting people know we are here.�

The halls outside the gymnasium were filling by 7 p.m., though the doors to the show didn’t open until 7:30 p.m.

Junior music production major Nickole Regala waited in line to get in. “I’m just excited my hometown is actually having a drag show,� she said. “Growing up here, I’ve been able to see the cultural changes

Muncie has gone through and it makes me happy that people are starting to become more accepting of the LGBT community.�

Spectrum displayed the funhouse theme with Halloween decorations, costumes and a circus feel. The entry was draped with blood-stained curtains that lead to a stage covered in cobwebs. “This is our house and we are going to have fun,� said Jaime Whitaker, president of Spectrum, During the show, he performed as Avery Leigh.

Only four of the 12 performers were returning kings and queens. “In the fall, you have an entirely new cast of performers because all of the incoming freshmen decide to get involved,� Whitaker said.

There were a variety of performances, including singing, dancing, lip-syncing and gymnastics. Crowd involvement was a large part of the kings’ and queens’ performances and helped the organization get closer to its goal of raising $1,000. Spectrum raised a total of $849.

Sophomore criminal justice major Kashja Brown-Tabor performed as Clint Taurus and won best king and crowd favorite. She described Clint as “suave, smooth and at times sassy.�

This was her first semester perform-

ing in the drag show after friends encouraged her to take the stage. “I feel like I am more ready now,� Brown-Tabor said. “My friends have done drag shows and urged me to do it.�

Brown-Tabor is involved with Spectrum and Gamma Rho Lambda, Ball State’s sorority for LGBTQ people. “I have been involved with Spectrum ever since my arrival at Ball State,� Brown-Tabor said. “It is the first thing I looked for.�

She said she was also excited about the charity of the event. “Being a social work minor, I want to help LGBT youth. Muncie OUTreach has been great for that,� she said.

Clint Taurus and Avery Leigh performed a duet to Madonna’s song “4 Minutes,� which included lip-syncing and dancing.

Whitaker has performed in drag shows at Ball State in the past and has been supportive of Muncie OUTreach since its establishment last year. “By seeing how much they grew, we wanted to donate to them again,� Whitaker said. “In the LGBT community, we are all family.�
