Ball State has few services for parents on campus Students with children want university to better advertise KAITLIN LANGE CHIEF REPORTER | kllange@bsu.edu When Lena Neff found out she was pregnant as a freshman at Ball State, she decided her education was more important then the “looks” she would get. “Dropping out wasn’t an option for me,” the sophomore public relations major said. Instead, she and her boyfriend Torrin Tompkins, an Ivy Tech student, decided to make campus home for their 8-month-old son, Xaiden. Although, neither of them would necessarily consider it child-friendly. A challenge for the couple is finding time for a full-course load while being parents. Neff said she had never heard of Ball State offering services to assist with child care. Timothy Hess, a psychologist and group coordinator at the Counseling Center, said the center tried to start a support group for students with children about a year ago.

SNOWBOARDING
The trick that White couldn’t master is called “YOLO.” Podladtchikov created it and landed it successfully. White tried it twice, but couldn’t match I-Pod, settling for fourth and no medal. The Japanese pair of 15-year-old Ayumu Hirano and 18-year-old Taku Hiraoka won silver and bronze, and the Americans were shut out on the halfpipe for the first time since the sport was introduced to the Olympics in 1998.

Her combined time of 1 minute, 14.70 seconds also was an Olympic record, beating Le May Doan’s mark of 1:14.75. Olga Fatkulina of Russia won the silver, and Margot Boer of the Netherlands got the bronze.
CROSS-COUNTRY

People pose with the Olympic rings inside Olympic Park in Sochi, Russia. Norway is currently in lead for medals at the end of the fifth day of events for the Winter Olympics.
SOCHI, Russia (AP) — The most decorated country in Winter Olympic history earned four more medals Tuesday, and the most famous snowboarder in the world had his hopes for a third straight gold in the halfpipe dashed. Norway won double gold in the cross-country freestyle sprints while picking up silver medals in the women’s sprint and in the women’s 10-kilometer biathlon pursuit. That gave the Norwegians the medal lead as the games concluded the fifth day, and it pushed its overall total to 317 since the Winter Olympics began in 1924. The United States saw several of its best hopes evaporate, including Shaun White, the flamboyant snowboarder who was dethroned by Iouri Podladtchikov. Known as “I-Pod,” the Russian-born Swiss
Hattestad took the early lead, avoided the crash behind him and then held off Teodor Peterson of Sweden for the gold. Peterson finished 1.2 seconds behind for silver. Vesna Fabjan of Slovenia won the bronze in the women’s sprint. Besides Randall, Marit Bjørgen of Norway also was eliminated early.
SKI JUMPING
snowboarder was flawless while White failed to master his rival’s best trick. Another U.S. gold medal prospect, crosscountry skier Kikkan Randall, was eliminated in the qualifying rounds of the women’s freestyle sprint. Maiken Caspersen Falla of Norway took the gold in that race, with teammate Ingvild Flugstad Østberg earning silver. Ola Vigen Hattestad captured the men’s sprint title in a race marred by a three-skier collision. Emil Jönsson of Sweden, who had all but given up earlier in the race, grabbed the bronze after Sergey Ustiugov of Russia, Marcus Hellner of Sweden and Anders Gløersen of Norway were involved in a crash that left them sprawled across the course. Soft snow caused a number of spills throughout the day.
Carina Vogt won the first gold medal in women’s ski jumping. The 22-year-old German overcame heavy favorite Sara Takanashi, the World Cup leader in the sport who ended up a disappointing fourth. Daniela Iraschko-Stolz of Austria took silver and Colin Mattell of France earned bronze.

LUGE Natalie Geisenberger’s victory was Germany’s fifth straight in women’s luge. Teammate Tatjana Hüfner won the silver and Erin Hamlin picked up the bronze, the first singles luge medal ever for the United States. Hamlin finished 0.236 seconds behind Hüfner in the race for silver, but held off Canada’s Alex Gough by 0.433 seconds for the final spot on the podium. It was the fifth Olympic medal for USA Luge, the first four — two silvers and two bronzes — having come in doubles races.

Indiana solar industry adds about 1,000 jobs State ranks No. 25, moving up 2 spots according to report | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana’s solar power industry added nearly 1,000 jobs last year, an employment surge that boosted the industry’s Hoosier job force by 178 percent, according to a report released Tuesday by a solar advocacy group. The Solar Foundation said Indiana saw 960 new solar industry jobs last year, up from the 540 such jobs in 2012. The Washington, D.C.-based group’s annual report summarizing solar energy jobs in each of the 50 states ranked Indiana 25th in solar employment, up two spots from its previous report. The state’s 1,500 solar jobs, largely in manufacturing and installation, still lagged behind adjacent Ohio, which ranked eighth nationally with 3,800 jobs. Adjacent Illinois and Michigan last year had 2,100 and 2,700 solar jobs, respectively, the report said. The report said nationwide, the U.S. solar industry employed more than 142,000 Americans in 2013, with a third of those jobs in longtime solar leader California.

Mouli Vaidhyanathan, president of Mouli Engineering, stands in front of a home in St. Paul, Minnesota, where the homeowner had installed two of his company’s SolarPod panels. Indiana has nearly doubled its solar industry.
Indiana’s figures showed that last year, it had 50 solar industry companies and more than 400 homes powered by the sun — either with electricity-generating solar panels or solar-thermal units used to heat air and water. Many of Indiana’s solar jobs were people hired to install solar power systems, such as crews who last year finished installing 44,000 solar photovoltaic panels on 75 acres at the Indianapolis International Airport. That solar farm generates more than 12 megawatts
of power that’s being sold to Indianapolis Power & Light Co. Indiana also has attracted solar component manufacturers, such as Fronius, which operates a plant in the northern Indiana city of Portage that employs about 70 people. The Portage plant makes inverters, which convert solar power into electrical current, and expects to see steady job growth in the years ahead, said company spokeswoman Tiffany Bley. Laura Ann Arnold, president of renewable energy promoter Indiana Distributed Energy Al-
liance, said Indiana’s strong manufacturing base make it ideal for such businesses. “Whether or not all the solar gets used in Indiana, the fact is we’re still a good location for solar manufacturing because we’re a good manufacturing state and we’re centrally located,” she said. Jodi Perras, director of the Sierra Club’s Beyond Coal campaign in Indiana, said new report shows that “solar is on the rise in Indiana” even if the state has work to do to boost its renewable energy sector.
CHILDREN: ‘I definitely think it’s kind of hush-hush,’ parent says about university’s view on pregnancy | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 The group wasn’t able to find a time that worked for everyone’s schedule. Instead, the center includes students with children in more generic counseling groups or provides them with individual therapy. Hess said the hardest challenge for students with children is juggling the roles of parenthood and education. After having a baby during Winter Break, senior journalism graphics major Autumn Ricketts didn’t look for or receive any help from Ball State. “I definitely think it’s kind of hush-hush,” she said. “If I was looking for an organization to join because I like crafts, I’m sure that’s very easy to find. I don’t think they publicize a lot of assistance programs for mother or fathers who are also students.” Ball State’s Department of Family and Consumer Sciences sponsors the Child Study Center, the only day care service the university offers. The center has an infant and toddler lab as well as a preschool lab open to anyone including faculty, students and community members and their children. It also provides Ball State students with a laboratory
environment to study child development. Jennifer Young, the infant and toddler education coordinator, said few Ball State students take their children there. Full-time care costs about $200 per week and Ball State students don’t receive a discount. On the university website, there is the WorkLife Programs page for information and a link to an online database to help search for childcare providers. Lactation rooms also are in Bracken Library, Ball Communication Building and the L.A. Pittenger Student Center, for students or faculty. Neither Neff nor Ricketts use any of these resources. Other universities offer different services to their students, with more than 50 percent of colleges nationwide have childcare facilities on campus, according to the Institute for Women’s Policy Research. Indiana University has an Office of Campus Child Care Support, specifically for coordinating childcare services. The university offers three day care services, giving priority to families affiliated with IU. Similar to Ball State’s services, IU’s Campus View Care Center costs about $240.
PARENT SERVICES ON THREE INDIANA COLLEGE CAMPUSES
ARCHITECTURE: One student has position on committee advising campus for future
| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
“It’s extremely disappointing,” he said. “Everything the campus master plan is, is based on the physical appearance and functionality of campus. That’s what we’re studying.” University architect Gregory Graham said the university discussed including CAP students in the process more, but did not think this would be fair. He did not want to exclude students from other colleges, and the goal was to open up feedback for all students equally. “The problem is if you do it specifically for one college of students, what about all the rest of the students in all the colleges?” Graham said. “You should try and open it up for everybody and that’s what we’ve tried to do so far.” The initiative of one undergraduate CAP student, however, landed her a spot on the Campus Master Plan Advisory Committee. Junior urban planning major Ellen Forthofer was introduced to the committee through her studio professor and was then given the opportunity to get further involved. She attends weekly meetings and helps manage masterplan.bsu.edu. She said this process offers real-world application of what she learns in her urban planning classes. Forthofer said the master plan site, through MindMixer, has done a good job involving students as well as views from faculty, staff and community members. “The topics and ideas on MindMixer are narrowing down our collective vision for Ball State’s future campus,” she said. The master plan consultants, architecture firm SmithGroupJJR, will be back on campus Feb. 24. The group will host three open forums for anyone

Introduced by a studio professor
to attend and give feedback, as well as one session targeting CAP students. Michael Johnson, principal urban designer for SmithGroupJJR, said it will be a highly productive period for students to “roll up their sleeves” and help the consultants with ideas. “It’s a concern that there isn’t preferential treatment given to certain groups,” he said. “But we do know there is a lot of expertise there. We would love for all levels of architecture, urban planning and landscape architecture from undergrad to graduate to engage.” Johnson said when working on master plans, his firm allows the institutions to determine the level of engagement with specific groups. At Louisiana State, he said architecture students worked with the firm when they created a master plan, and it worked out well. He said the firm is looking forward to interacting with all students when they come back to campus and exchange ideas. “We’re at a critical point at the plan,” Johnson said. “We haven’t begun to formulate concrete ideas, so I think we have enough to react to and we’re at a good stage where we want to get input.”

Purdue also has three oncampus centers and a free childcare search on its website. Though most universities don’t have specific residence halls for students with children, Ball State’s apartments — Scheidler and Anthony — are an option for students raising families. Neff has lived in Scheidler Apartments since she finished her first year in LaFollette Complex. Though it is catered toward children, Neff said she would prefer to have housing for students who are parents. She said students with children are far more common than most people think,

especially on Ball State’s campus. Nearly one quarter of American undergraduate students have children, according to the Institute for Women’s Policy Research. “People don’t realize how many student mothers are actually out there,” she said. “Even when I was pregnant, [people thought] it was such a rarity.”

“LOVESONG” BY THE CURE
For some reason, The Cure has become a romantic comedy soundtrack staple. This particular song states its intent plainly in the title. For a more modern take, consider Adele’s cover.
“HOW LONG WILL I LOVE YOU” BY ELLIE GOULDING
This stripped-down cover of The Waterboys features Goudling’s distinctive vocals backed by minimalistic piano and strings — very poignant.

“I LOVE YOU” BY JOHNNY THUNDERS AND THE HEARTBREAKERS
Despite the band name, this is an early punk rock ode to love.
“LA VIE EN ROSE” BY LOUIS ARMSTRONG
Sung in English rather than the original French, Armstrong adds his own touch to Édith Piaf’s timeless classic.
“CRAZY IN LOVE” BY BEYONCÉ FT. JAY Z
The original Bey and Jay duet still holds up, even more than 10 years later.
“LOVE IS EASY” BY MCFLY
A simple, sincere pop song about just how easy it can be to be in love, especially when a ukulele is involved.
“YOU ARE THE BEST THING” BY RAY LAMONTAGNE
Heorot’s Valhalla Room 7:30 P.M. TO 9 P.M. Ball State’s Wind Ensemble and Symphony Band at Sursa Hall

“WHEN LOVE TAKES OVER” BY DAVID GUETTA FT. KELLY ROWLAND
Sometimes love takes over, builds to a soaring chorus and makes you want to dance.
THE BANDS Blue Sky Carnival Band
Blue Sky Carnival Band is a “new wave of second-line music” that crowds can dance to. facebook.com/BlueSkyCarnivalBand
Drown
“LE TEMPS DE L’AMOUR” BY FRANÇOISE HARDY
This 1960s yé-yé pop song is in French, so it has bonus romantic points.
“MAYBE I’M AMAZED” BY PAUL MCCARTNEY
McCartney could take up an entire love song list with his repertoire, but this track stands out as one of the finest.
“MY BEST FRIEND” BY TIM MCGRAW
There are many great country love songs, but this one really captures the sentiment at its simplest.
“MAKE YOU FEEL MY LOVE” BY ADELE
This is an Adele cover of a Bob Dylan tour de force. While many artists have covered this song, Adele’s delivery makes this version something special.
“BE MY BABY” BY THE RONETTES
Really, anything from the “Dirty Dancing” soundtrack will do, but this one had Cher contributing backing vocals.
FOR SINGLES I recommend “Song for Zula” by Phosphorescent, “Breakin’ Dishes” by Rihanna and “Glad to See You Go” by The Ramones.
Drown is a two-piece dance band from Muncie. Its music follows the chill-wave genre of electronic dance music. facebook.com/gildedvenetians

Sponsorship helps gold-medalist travel Snowboarder wins behind assistance from corporations

HAYLI GOODE BSU AT THE GAMES GUEST REPORTER hlgoode@bsu.edu
U.S. snowboarder Jamie Anderson won the first-ever gold medal in the inaugural women’s slopestyle snowboarding event Sunday. Anderson credits the win to her family and friends, who were there to celebrate with her. Shortly after winning the medal, Anderson tweeted a photo with a caption crediting her win “with the love and support from the most amazing family, friends, community and sponsors.” “My family was absolutely amazing,” Anderson said. “Mom and Dad supported us as much as they could — financially, spiritually. They made us go-getters.” Anderson, who has been snowboarding since she was 9, said it is an expensive sport.
Forbes estimated the annual cost to be $3,000 to $14,000, depending on how far the boarder advances in qualifying events. Training also has expenses, with four to six hours spent each day, leaving almost no time for a job. Anderson’s five sisters and two brothers also competed as children. In order to support such a large family with an expensive hobby, snowboard gear hand-me-downs were common gifts for Anderson and her sisters. She initially picked up one of her sister’s old boardercross snowboards. Her first sponsor at Tahoe Ski & Snowboarding Resort in Nevada had previously sponsored her two older siblings. At 13, she was the youngest person to qualify for the Winter X Games. Billabong International Limited took her to the next level, financially. In 2004, when Anderson signed with the clothing company, the company agreed to help pay for travel, gear and attire.
In the 2006 Winter X Games, her first competition with Billabong, she beat Shaun White as the youngest person to medal in the Winter X Games. Anderson was 15 years old when she grabbed her bronze medal. After that milestone, Anderson had to wait before reaching the age minimum, 16, to compete in the Olympics. Then, she had to wait four more years before slopestyle became an official Olympic sport. In 2011, Anderson renewed her contract with Billabong and extended it into a snowboarding clothing line. Her line, which debuted in 2012, also helped her financially as 44 percent of the sales went directly to her. At home, though, she was still a sibling, student and daughter. “I think we started to take [care] of each other,” Anderson said. “I was right in the middle, so I remember my older sisters having to take care of us or babysitting. Then, all of the sudden, I was 13 or 14, babysitting and cooking dinner,

cleaning up after everyone. But we all kind of made it work.” Her family made sacrifices financially, including travel, snowboarding attire and costs of maintaining a snowboard.

There’s nothing left to hold back during a fifth set. Ball State has proven that recently. Over the men’s volleyball team’s last three games, two of them have gone to a fifth set. Both times, Ball State slammed the door in its opponents face. “You don’t want to be passive because it’s not a game where you approach hoping to win points or waiting to see what happens,” head coach Joel Walton said. Ball State knocked off Princeton in the fifth set 15-4, just a week after beating IPFW 1510 in the fifth set. Against IPFW, Ball State jumped out to a quick 6-0 lead, silencing a vocal crowd. Walton attributed much of the success to the veterans on his team. Ball State’s senior class includes Graham McIlvaine, Larry Wrather, Kevin Owens and Matt Leske, who all get extensive playing time. The group of seniors has seen nearly every scenario play out during their time on the team and knows how to approach different situations. Junior outside attacker Matt Sutherland said when he’s introduced into a match, he tries
BALL STATE TAKES 1ST PLACE IN FLA.
One year after making the NCAA Finals, the Ball State men’s golf team opened 2014 with a victory. Ball State’s No. 2-seeded team beat Eastern Michigan in the final round of the Mid-American Match Play tournament, 4-2. Leading the way for the final leg of the play was the middle of the lineup. Ball State’s No. 1 and No. 6 players lost their matchups to the No. 1-seeded Eastern Michigan, but Nos. 2, 3, 4 and 5 all came out victorious. The lone senior on the team, Tyler Merkel, won his matchup over Eastern Michigan’s Brett White. Also winning for Ball State in the final round were junior McCormick Clouser, junior Zach Yinger and sophomore James Blackwell. Last season, Ball State finished second in Mid-American Match Play. Next for the Cardinals is the Tails Park Challenge on March 16 and March 17 at Naples, Fla. – STAFF REPORTS

to get the team’s energy up. The strategy worked against both IPFW and Princeton as the team was sparked by his entrance. “Both times, we were on the road and had our backs up against the wall, and we fought
back,” sophomore outside attacker Marcin Niemczewski said. “We worked together, communicated and played united volleyball.” Niemczewski finished the match against Princeton with a

career-high 25 kills. The Cardinals trailed both matches at one point. Against IPFW, the team dropped the first set and dropped the first two against Princeton. In both matches, Ball State stunned its opponent with swarming defense, not allowing outside attackers to get a clean attack off. Each attack was tooled to another defender who would set up the offense. IPFW and Princeton called early timeouts, but there was already too much momentum. Ball State cruised through the rest of the sets before a block from junior outside attacker Shane Witmer ended the IPFW match, while an attack error ended the one against Princeton. “We have guys who aren’t going to see anything new in their careers,” Walton said. “They know you have to be aggressive once you hit the fifth set. ... Our guys put together some really nice defensive runs.” Nice enough to end the fifth sets quickly, without danger of dropping them.
But Anderson said she was never in the sport to make money, and the expenses taught her more about her own motivation and determination to find sponsors and
gear in the long run. Those sacrifices paid dividends at the Olympics, as Anderson has carved a new chapter in Olympic history from the slopes of Sochi.
3-POINT PLAY
Pair of freshmen experiencing different stretches to 1st collegiate season MATT McKINNEY CHIEF REPORTER | @Matt_D_McKinney
1 2 3
TYLER KOCH IS CLOSE TO RETURNING
Koch is medically allowed to return to play, and it’s just a matter of time before he returns to the court. Koch, a senior forward, has missed the last seven games. In his last game, a 20-point loss at Ohio, Koch had two rebounds in 13 minutes of play. Over his career, Koch has averaged 18.4 minutes per game, with 4.1 points and 2.8 rebounds. COACH JAMES WHITFORD’S TAKE: “This is a big week for him to be able to get back in rhythm. My hope is that he can get back on the court for us and play.”
FRESHMAN QUINTEN PAYNE IS ENJOYING SOLID STRETCH
With Koch’s injury, senior Chris Bond has had to play more inside, leaving an opening at the small forward for Quinten Payne. In Ball State’s past two games, he’s averaged 15.5 minutes per game after averaging six in the four games prior. In the last two games, Payne shot 50 percent on 3-of-6 from the field. He also had a dunk against Toledo that helped boost the home crowd at a pivotal time. WHITFORD’S TAKE: “He’s moving in the right direction. [Koch’s injury] has given Quinten more opportunities. I think he’s done a good job two games in a row.”
MARK ALSTORK HAS BEEN STRUGGLING OF LATE
On Jan. 11 against Kent State, freshman Mark Alstork set new career highs in shots made, points and rebounds. Since then, he hasn’t came close to any of those numbers. His points per game average has dropped over two full points, and he was replaced in the starting lineup in the past two games by senior Jesse Berry. WHITFORD’S TAKE: “To me, he’s playing more hesitant on offense. He had that great game against Kent State. ... He’s really secondguessing himself. I just want him to take good shots.“
