BALL STATE LOGO
This is the logo Provost Terry King has asked university deans to use instead of “Education Redefined.”
University plans refresh, phases out items from almost 10-year-old brand HOVORKA CHIEF REPORTER | ALAN afhovorka@bsu.edu Ball State’s most famous slogan has disappeared from some faculty emails. University deans have dropped “Education Redefined” from their email signatures, said Roger Lavery, dean of the college of communication information and media. Whether this signals a uni-
versity-wide change in promotional direction is unclear. Joan Todd, executive director of public relations, acknowledged that a “brand refresh” is underway. “We are phasing out some aspects as we bring in a new look,” she said in an email. Lavery said university deans received an email last week from Provost Terry King, asking them to use a different logo in their email signatures. This logo does not contain the words “Education Redefined,” the motto that has defined Ball State’s
marketing efforts for almost a decade. It is a picture of the Beneficence statue with the words “Ball State University” underneath. Education Redefined has been the official brand of the university since 2006 and is still on the homepage of the website. King asked that deans use the different logo during the “brand refresh” period. It is a much simpler and traditional university logo, which has been used for many years, he said in an email.

Freshman public relations major Morgan Polizzi participates in Dance Marathon because her brother, Jack, was diagnosed with leukemia. Morgan has raised $2,455, more than half of the $4,536 the Riley Relations committee freshmen have raised altogether for Dance Marathon.
E
very student participating in Dance Marathon has a reason. A reason to drop their extra change into a red bucket during a Miracle Minute. A reason to join a Dance Marathon committee. A reason to cry when the total amount of money raised is revealed after a grueling, 12 hours of standing. A reason to dance. Freshman public relations major Morgan Polizzi has collected $2,455 of the $4,536 raised by the Riley Relations Committee freshmen for Dance Marathon this year. Her reason hits a little closer to home than most. In August of 2013, the beginning of Polizzi’s senior year at Carmel High School, her world changed completely. Her younger brother Jack Polizzi was gearing up for his freshman year on the soccer team at Guerin Catholic High School when his family received the results from a blood test. He had leukemia.

Mickey Deputy acknowledges that Riley Hospital for Children saved her life. She was born with Down Syndrome and three holes in her heart, causing her parents to move to Indiana from Illinois. Whether as an infant undergoing open-heart surgery or as a 7-yearold fighting through leukemia, that hospital has been a mainstay. Though Mickey celebrated a decade of being leukemia-free this month, she still returns to Riley once a year to undergo preventative blood work. Mickey will be at high risk of being re-diagnosed with cancer for the rest of her life. On Saturday, she will share her story with students at the Ball State Dance Marathon. She’ll participate in the talent show and spend a day with a room full of close friends. There are no strangers to Mickey at Riley events — just friends. THE PULSE OF BALL STATE

‘It’s almost uncomfortable how comfortable I feel’ ‘Equus’ performance examines normalcy, psychology, sexuality
|
KATHRYN HAMPSHIRE STAFF REPORTER kmhampshire@bsu.edu
Presented by the Department of Theatre and Dance and opening on Friday, “Equus” utilizes ritual, psychology and sexuality, including a scene containing nudity, to examine the meaning of what it is to be normal. In “Equus,” psychiatrist Martin Dysart faces a personal crisis as he takes on the case of Alan Strong, a young man who is guilty of committing disturbing acts of animal cruelty. “Alan has actually lost everything,” said senior acting major Evan Cullinan, who plays Alan Strong in this production.
POLIZZI:
| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “I really realized that I had a passion for it, and I wanted to give back to Riley for what they had given to my brother,” she said. Morgan brought more than her wardrobe and decorations to college—she brought her passion. She made it her goal to get involved with the university’s Dance Marathon. Though at an entirely new school, the cause remained the same. According to the Ball State Dance Marathon website, all the funds raised through Dance Marathon go directly to Riley Hospital for Children, specifically funding the Magic Castle Cart program (a rolling cart that distributes over 200,000 toys each year to children staying at the hospital) and the Palliative Care Program, which focuses on “specialized medical care for children with serious illnesses.” Morgan reached out to upperclassmen involved in the Riley Relations committee,
“Since the incident with the horses, he has truly entered a new world, and that is absolutely terrifying to him.” As they delve into the murky waters of psychology and religion, they are forced to “confront the mythical presence of Equus,” said guest director Matthew Reeder. Equus is a god that Strong invents. One scene requires Cullinan to be nude onstage, but he doesn’t want it to overshadow the other merits of “Equus.” “In the case of this particular play, there is a lot of baggage that comes with it,” Cullinan said. “Most people hear the name ‘Equus’ and focus on the nudity or the sexual aspects of the play but miss the characters and the meat of the play that [the writer] has presented us.” Reeder described the scene in question as “powerful” and “essential.”
“The moment is about vulnerability and about the conscious act of being completely exposed and open to another human being,” Reeder said. The presence of nudity has placed a new challenge on actors involved in the production, Reeder said. “Asking actors to be nude onstage is not an easy nor an enjoyable thing to do,” he said. Cullinan said it was an “interesting experience, to say the least.” He also noticed striking similarities between himself and his character. “I can relate to the feeling of isolation, the experiences of first love, extreme fascination and obsession,” he said. “It’s almost uncomfortable how comfortable I feel when I can identify with certain parts of Alan. I think that will be felt by the audience, which should elicit some strong reactions.”
a group that works one-onone with over 40 Riley kids and families that Ball State’s Dance Marathon supports. Morgan received an interview for the mostly upperclassman committee, a rare occurrence for a freshman, Riley Relations co-director Brandon Puszkiewicz said. Soon after her interview, Morgan got the call that she was in. “I was thrilled,” Morgan said, but she knew that the hard work was just beginning. Morgan and the committee started working long before this week by planning themed holiday parties for the Riley kids and their families. Morgan might be one of only five freshmen on the Riley Relations committee, but being a freshman isn’t her only claim to fame on the team. On Tuesday, she received the Committee Member of the Year award. She’s also raised $2,455 so far, surpassing her original goal of $2,000. The committee’s fundraising goal this year is a lofty
$500,000, $155,199 more than last year’s amount raised. In order to surpass her personal goal, Morgan spent a lot of time “annoying the crap” out of her sorority sisters in Alpha Omicron Pi, she said. She posts frequent reminders on the group’s Facebook page and even promises a Greek’s pizza party if every member reaches her personal fundraising goal. “I’m trying to motivate girls in any way that I can,” she says. Her persistence worked. After reaching her original goal of raising $2,000, Morgan raised her goal to $2,500 right away. “Because why not?” she said with a laugh. She knows first-hand just how much that extra $500 can do for the families and kids at Riley. Things are looking brighter for Morgan’s brother Jack, who’s now a sophomore at Guerin Catholic High School. “He’s back in school, back on the soccer field and in remission,” she said. “Riley really does work miracles.” It’s why she dances.

Reeder said the target audience for this show is “anyone who has ever questioned themselves or their beliefs or their lives or felt vulnerable and exposed.” Reeder is a 1996 graduate of the Musical Theatre Option in The Department of Theatre and Dance here at Ball State. He has been a freelance director in Chicago for the past 12 years and is returning to his alma mater to direct “Equus” under the invitation of Bill Jenkins, the department chair. “[Jenkins] asked me to return both as an [alumnus] and as a working professional artist,” Reeder said. “Bill goes out of his way to keep up with the lives and careers of alumni who are working in the field. Returning to BSU after 20 years, and directing in the space where I directed my first full production as a student has been a lovely experience.”

Presidential candidates talk leadership Campaign manager urges SGA slates to remember ethics GARCIA STAFF REPORTER | RAYMOND ragarcia@bsu.edu The three presidential candidates for the Student Government Association will face off against one another tonight at the final debate of the election season. At the full slate debate Tuesday, 371 people were in attendance, a record-breaking number, according to a press release from the elections board. Slips of paper were given to the attendees to write down which slate they would vote
for and why. According to the release, however, those results will not be released due to unfair distribution. Jennifer Jones-Hall said campaign managers had grabbed more than one slip each when voting. “Ethics are so important to us in these elections,” JonesHall said. “Let’s remember that as we proceed through the election.” The Presidential Candidates Jacob Cash, president of Cardinal Direction, said his peers describe him as a servant leader who leads by example. “A true leader builds credibility and accountability through leading by example and never wavering in their word,” he said. “This is the
type of leader that I strive to be on a daily basis.” He said SGA has given him the opportunity to implement change for Ball State students. “One of the most rewarding components of being in SGA is to see the positive impact that it continually has on campus,” he said. Jack Hesser, president of Atlas, said the most rewarding parts of SGA are the small victories senators fight for that do not become major campus issues. “When you leave a meeting with an administrator and develop a new solution to an old problem, and the administrators decide to implement the changes regardless of legislation or countless readings
in senate,” he said, “That’s when you know you are doing your job and making this campus better.” Hesser said the most important aspects of leadership include communication, motivation and passion. “What truly makes a successful leader, in my mind, is their ability to motivate and encourage those he or she leads,” Hesser said. Quintin Thompson, president of Momentum, said SGA has allowed him to meet many different people from campus, and it has been rewarding making positive changes on campus. He said his leadership style is based on listening, problem-solving and building a consensus.

Woodworth Commons and Noyer Centre are starting a trial with Sea Salt & Cinnamon to provide cupcakes for students with certain allergies, like dairy. Amanda Reninger, the founder of Sea Salt & Cinnamon, said she recently made a deal with Ball State Dining to begin a three-week trial to decide if her cupcakes will continue to sell in selected facilities. Reninger would like to expand to the Bookmark Café in Bracken Library. The company doesn’t have a storefront, but has been selling and creating desserts designed for those who follow a vegan diet or have celiac disease or dairy allergies. “It’s been nice to be welcomed into such a large entity and a large part of the city,” Reninger said. “I appreciate their willing to work with small vendors like me, and I think it’s something they’ve always done really well.” For the trial, the company delivered 12 dozen cupcakes to campus. Within the first week, Dining sold three dozen cupcakes. The business began after Reninger’s husband was diagnosed with a liver disorder. She said he was able to eat more comfortably with a vegan diet. After making more veg-
an foods, she was asked to make gluten-free desserts by friends. She later began selling these items after forming her own recipes. “Because we don’t have the overhead of a storefront and don’t have to keep that up, we’re able to do things on a much less expensive scale,” Reninger said. Jordan Hartung, a freshman pre-med major, has been diagnosed with celiac disease. She said while the dining facilities have gluten-free options, they take longer to make. “I don’t have time in between classes for them to specifically make a glutenfree meal,” Hartung said. Hartung said she mostly makes her own meals or buys gluten-free items to satisfy her dietary needs. With Sea Salt & Cinnamon, the gluten-free items would be prepared ahead of time. Amanda Kruse, the wellness nutritionist of Dining Services, works with students who have food preferences or allergies. Kruse said vegan and vegetarian items are sold in every dining facility, with Woodworth Commons as the “central hub” for vegan choices. Comfort Zone gives more options for students. She said products are customizable and dining employees can adjust the ingredients.

who was recently hired as Ball State’s new assistant police chief, went to Stewart and said they wanted to strengthen the program. A year ago, Kesler said, MPD officers volunteered to be new EAP representatives, but plans did not really start moving until early February when she attended training. She learned about issues officers face, warning signs, how to approach people and how to form peer support groups. “Our job is in the infancy stage,” Kesler said. “I have a few things set up, but I work on it a little bit every day.” Her goal is to change the culture at MPD to one where it is okay to ask for help, making the department feel more like family. She said if an issue reaches the point where an officer needs to be disciplined because they made a mistake at work, the department should have already known if something else was going on in the officer’s life. “We have to be 100 percent when we are at work,” she said. “We have a dangerous job.” If an officer is going through difficulties at home or at work, such as marital issues or a trauma incident at work,

Amanda Reninger is the founder of Sea Salt & Cinnamon, a dessert company designed for people with celiac disease, dairy allergies or who follow a vegan diet. Currently, the business is on a three-week trial to decide if her cupcakes will continue to be sold at Ball State. They are currently being sold at Noyer and Woodworth dining halls for $3.50 a cupcake.
There are around 50 students who have declared to Dining they have celiac disease and 55 students who declare themselves vegans. “With Sea Salt & Cinnamon, they have many products that are without ingredients some students can’t have,” Kruse said. “Dessert items offered at Ball State may be without one type of product, but they may also have something a customer may not want.” Sea Salt & Cinnamon also sells its products at The Caffeinery in downtown Muncie. Frank Reber, owner of The Caffeinery, met with Reninger when he just opened his coffee shop. As well as offering her products, she had asked to use their kitchen. Now she rents a kitchen space in a senior center certified through the health department. He said she quickly set up her business by organizing the paperwork and becoming certi-
fied for baking gluten-free and vegan products. Reninger also created a Kickstarter account. Reber said he gave her advice and “provided an ear” for her during her process to develop her business. The Caffeinery began selling Sea Salt & Cinnamon products six months ago. Reber said even though he hired his own pastry chef for his goods, he still sells Reninger’s products because they cater to a different audience, which he “likes to include.” “We don’t compete,” Reber said. “We collaborate.” The company mostly makes cupcakes, but they have begun working on pies, cookies and breads. The company will also provide bread for a coffee shop in Upland, Ind., and can cater for weddings. “For a while, we wondered if Muncie was ready for this kind of thing,” she said. “And I think they’re excited about it.”
they can come to an EAP officer to talk about it, and the officer will refer them to local counseling services, a psychiatrist or a clinician. All help is confidential and paid for by the department. “A lot of people don’t know we have this program, or they are afraid it’s not confidential for the stigma that may go with that,” Kesler said. “Just reiterating to people that it’s there, it’s fully confidential and we want people to take advantage of it when they need it.” Stewart said that as chief of police, he never knows if someone takes advantage of the EAP. Kesler volunteered to be an EAP rep after she experienced personal issues that she thought affected her job. She didn’t think the help was there when she needed it, and she saw an opportunity to help other officers. “I would find some of the officers would talk to me more than other people about issues they were having, and I saw that as an opportunity to get people help that needed it before it got worse,” she said. Stewart said the EAP reps genuinely care about their fel-
low officers in the department and don’t want to see anyone go down the wrong path. “If you can save an employee, if you can’t turn somebody’s life around, it’s a win-win,” Stewart said. “It’s a win for MPD and it’s a win for them, personally.” Ball State’s Employee Assistance Program Ball State police officers— or any of the university’s employees, at that—have fewer counseling assistance resources available to them than students. The Ball State EAP is based out of the Human Resources Department, which coordinates visits to the Counseling Center for employees who need assistance. Unlike MPD’s offerings, Ball State employees only have one free counseling session. “The first hour is free,” said Human Resources Program Coordinator Marta Stephens. “Beyond that, the clinic will advise, but usually one hour is sufficient enough to sort through any issues.” Stephens said in a biannual survey, the numbers are consistently high that employees are aware of the EAP and most people that take advantage of it are self-referred.
MUNCIE POLICE DEPARTMENT TO OFFER MORE STRESS SUPPORT FOR OFFICERS
The Muncie Police Department will soon refocus on helping employees deal with some of the stress they go through as part of a revamp of their Employee Assistance Program. The EAP provides free, confidential services to officers who may be experiencing issues with areas such as addiction, mental health or finances either in their personal life or on the job. “A police officer on the street sees all kinds of things through the years that the average person would not be able to comprehend,” MPD Chief Steve Stewart said. “They are human beings too, and sometimes they struggle with things. That’s what we try to do is help those who are struggling.” Stewart said he had seen their EAP fall by the wayside. Representatives dropped out and it wasn’t run properly. MPD detective Amy Kesler and Captain Allen Williams,
WHO DO YOU ADMIRE AS A LEADER AND WHY? JACOB CASH
“The one person I admire most as a leader is my father. My dad is a pastor, so he leads a community of people. My entire life, he has given me the opportunity to not only grow in my faith, but also to witness the impact that one can make on others’ lives, as he has done in his community.”
in. He puts everything he has into what he does. I also appreciate that he continuously works for the betterment of all students from every background.” JACK HESSER
“I would say a leader that I admire is someone right here on campus. Carlos Mata is someone who is always committed to the groups and activities that he participates
“A leader I truly admire is Jennifer Jones-Hall. In working with her throughout my time in Student Government, I have been able see her passion and drive for Ball State students in everything that she does. I look up to her as a role model and hope to able to show my passion for this amazing university the way she does.”
“I see an issue, and I go straight for it. I don’t dance around the issue,” he said. “I want to make plans that are equitable for everyone, even
though building consensus is often difficult.” The debate starts at 8 p.m. tonight in the Art and Journalism Building Room 175.

REBRANDING: | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
Ball State President Paul W. Ferguson announced that a brand refresh would be coming to the university during his Feb. 6 State of the University address. He did not specify what that brand refresh would entail. Former President Jo Ann Gora oversaw the implementation of “Education Redefined.” It became the basis for her two strategic plans, “Education Redefined,” 2007-2012, and “Education Redefined 2.0,” 2012-2017. Ferguson is replacing the latter plan with his “Centennial Commitment” strategic plan. It’s not surprising that a new president would want to align the university’s brand with his or her vision, said Sam Waterson, executive vice president and creative director of RHB Management Consulting, an Indianapolis-based marketing agency specializing in education. “In the marketplace, there are things people know about Ball State, whether it’s as a prospective student, faculty or someone in Muncie,” he said. Waterson said a university usually changes its brand every 10 years. “I don’t think [branding] is a superficial thing,” he said. “I think

a brand is deeper than [just] everything being consistent. That’s an old way of thinking of branding. In a contemporary sense, if we are taking on branding initiatives we are making sure our vision and aspirations of a vision are received well and are believable to our constituencies.”

DEALING WITH PANIC ATTACKS: TECH SUPPORT STYLE LAUREN CHAPMAN MISS KNOWIT-ALL LAUREN CHAPMAN IS A SENIOR JOURNALISM NEWS AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS MAJOR AND WRITES ‘MISS KNOW-IT-ALL’ FOR THE DAILY NEWS. HER VIEWS DO NOT NECESSARILY AGREE WITH THOSE OF THE NEWSPAPER. WRITE TO LAUREN AT LECHAPMAN@BSU. EDU.
Everyone in my family has their coping mechanism for handling panic attacks. My grandpa chews gum, smokes and goes for a drive around the block. My dad flips the elastic on the fitted sheet of his bed as a comforting drum, slowly driving my mother into madness. I have learned to treat my panic attacks with the humor of tech support. Your person isn’t broken, she’s just rebooting. STEP ONE: Hands start to ache and shake. The first sign that a panic attack is creeping in is hand aching. This is a sign that any firewalls or anti-virus that was previously set up has failed. Your person’s grip is going to be worthless. Opening jars is going to suck. To be fair, opening toothpaste is going to be a struggle. At this point, shutting your person off and restarting her might work. There is a chance this panic attack may pass by the time she wakes up from an hour nap, but it could also get much worse as well. STEP TWO: Elbows feel electrocuted. A panic attack may be stopped after this symptom starts, but it’s not a great chance without medication. If you’ve ever electrocuted your-
self with small electronics, the feeling is exactly the same. Your wrist feels like it is connected to your elbow by a bolt of electricity. This is normal. Currently, your person is experiencing unwanted pop-up ads and malware. A reboot will not be enough to end the panic attack here. Your person has a built-in comforting tool. Cleaning, driving, walking, writing or counting are all options for this tool. Your comforting tool may be different; check your owner’s manual for more details. If you don’t have your owner’s manual, good luck. STEP THREE: “I’m pretty sure I’m having a stroke.” Your person is going to vaguely recall every television show where someone has a stroke and think about arm pain. She will then be convinced she is having a stroke. Momentarily, she is going to think that if she was having a stroke, she would never know the difference between a stroke and panic attack. Your person might start picking funeral music. This is normal. Maybe not the music-picking, but the arm pain is totally normal.
Your person is experiencing a forced system shutdown. Windows updates are stalling her reboot, and her body is reacting. STEP FOUR: “I’m pretty sure I’m having a heart attack.” Your person is going to start to experience painful pressure in her chest. Descriptions of this experience range from “an invisible hand choking my heart” to “something warm and heavy sitting on my chest.” Heart beats are going to be painful. Full-body shaking will intensify. It is at this point your person will react in one of five ways. Your person will hide. Your person will cry. Your person will not want to be around other people. Your person will crawl under furniture like she’s experiencing an earthquake. Your person will become angry… and then probably cry. This is normal. Your person is experiencing an emotional reboot. Everything in her body will force this reaction. Your person is experiencing the black reboot screen. STEP FIVE: Your person will reboot. Your person will cry or shake

The Daily News welcomes reader viewpoints and offers three vehicles of expression for reader opinions: letters to the editor, guest columns and feedback on our website. Letters to the editor must be signed and appear as space permits each day. The limit for letter length is approximately 350 words. All letters must be typed.

herself to recovery. This can last for anywhere from 20 minutes to two days. Once your person reaches the log-in screen, some system malfunctions will continue for the remainder of the day. Shakes and chest, shoulder or hand pain will last up to 24 hours after the reboot. Hand grip will suffer for the next few days. If your person experiences a panic attack in front of you, be understanding of their individual approaches to panic attacks. It is likely they don’t have the user manual, and unfortunately one is not published online. When I moved in with my best friend my sophomore year, I had told her that I experienced panic attacks. In a moment of empathy, she asked for me to describe my panic attacks and more of what she could do for me. I gave her a bulleted list like the one above. All mental illnesses are like viruses and malware for your brain. Depression, anxiety, PTSD — they’re just your brain’s way of rebooting when it recognizes something is chemically wrong. Your person is not broken, she’s just rebooting.

Team 2nd in MAC after 73-64 win Ball State defeats Central Michigan in shooting battle ZACH CAINS CHIEF REPORTER | @ZPC1329
A second-half outburst from junior Nathalie Fontaine and senior Shelbie Justice led Ball State to a 73-64 win over Central Michigan. Fontaine and Justice scored 17 of the team’s last 24 points after losing the lead in the second half. “I didn’t want to lose, so I really pushed myself there at the end so we could get what we needed to win,” Fontaine said. The Cardinals and the Chippewas engaged in a close shooting battle from the opening tip. Ball State picked up the pace early on, leading by 10 points halfway through the first half. Central Michigan responded with several 3-pointers and trimmed the lead to three points at the half. The Chippewas shot
DEPUTY:
| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
Mickey’s mother, Jenny Deputy, said her daughter has a zest for life that is unmatched. She lives and breathes for events like Dance Marathon. “[Mickey] wants to make it so no other kid has to go through what she went through,” Jenny said. “That’s her ultimate goal: that one day there won’t be cancer.” Jenny and her husband Michael Deputy will be in attendance Saturday with Mickey’s brother, Brad. They won’t stay for the entire event, though. The notion that Mickey only has friends at these events is not an exaggeration. Jenny is so comfortable with the atmosphere that she’ll leave Mickey with her assigned “buddies” for a couple hours in the evening. The rest of the family will go out for dinner and come back for the final ceremonies. Jenny makes it a point to never miss the closing ceremonies. Especially at Ball State, where both she and Michael studied in the late ’80s. “Ball State is very near and dear to us,” Jenny said. “Some colleges set huge goals and those can become fundraising-driven, but Ball State kids don’t let that happen. They keep the family dynamics the same.” Last year, Indiana University raised more than $3 million through it’s Dance Marathon. Purdue raised more than $1 million. Ball State’s Dance Marathon raised just over $300,000. That’s what Brandon Puszkiewicz, co-director of Riley Relations for Ball State Dance Marathon, is most proud of. Despite raising less money, he and his peers work to make their event as family- and connection-focused as possible. “We’re trying to reach a goal,” he said. “But we don’t lose focus of the real goal: making families feel special.” The Deputy family is one of the most involved at Ball State, and Puszkiewicz said that’s the kind of relationship he works to build with other families. One of the easiest ways to both connect with the community and raise money is through social media. Last week, former Ball State quarterback Keith Wenning offered $1 for every retweet and follower he got on Twitter over a certain period of time. Colts long snapper Matt Overton offered $1 for each new follower, too, and he eventually raised more than $3,000 for Ball State.
38 percent from behind the arc in the first 20 minutes. “They were given the green light tonight and had a strategy to shoot when they had the slightest opening,” head coach Brady Sallee said. “We had to go in at half and adjust our game plan to counter them.” The new strategy worked in the early stage of the second half, as the Cardinals jumped out to a nine-point lead in the first two minutes. However, Central Michigan fought back to take a 51-49 lead with nine minutes left. After almost two scoreless minutes, Justice hit a layup to tie the game. A Fontaine free throw would give Ball State the lead that it would keep for the remainder of the game. Fontaine led the offensive attack with 23 points. She added 10 rebounds, her third doubledouble in the last four games and seventh of the season. Justice scored 22 points for the Cardinals, shooting 5-6 from 3-point range. It was Justice’s highest-scoring output of Overton has been involved with Dance Marathons all three years he’s been with the Colts. He’s never made the trip to Muncie, though. “I’m excited to help get people fired up and see what Ball State is all about,” he said. “I want Ball State to get to the level they want.” Mickey has been a junior cheerleader for the Colts for two seasons. What started it all, though, was when she met Chuck Pagano before a game in which she was chosen to be a Riley Coin Toss Kid. Pagano was still fighting leukemia at the time. “I beat it, you can beat it too,” Mickey said to the Colts head coach. Jenny said her message stuck with Pagano. He still keeps in
the season. “[Fontaine and Justice] took over when we needed some help and did exactly what we come to expect from them as junior and senior leaders,” Sallee said. Though the offense was strong, the defense struggled at times during the game. The Cardinals out-rebounded Central Michigan 39-37, but the defense allowed 20 offensive rebounds. Central Michigan turned its offensive boards into 30 points in the paint. “We gave up a lot of second chance opportunities to them, and that’s definitely an issue that we have to work on,” Sallee said. “We still were strong enough to beat them overall in rebounds, and that definitely tells me we are on the right path in that area.” With their fourth consecutive win, the Cardinals improve to 14-10 on the season and 10-3 in the Mid-American Conference. Ball State will hit the road this weekend to take on Northern Illinois (10-13; 6-7 MAC) at 6 p.m. Saturday. touch with the Deputy family. Mickey was a junior cheerleader for two years after that and is signed up to cheer with the team again next season. Overton is just one of many players that has reached out to Mickey. Before running a half-marathon with Mickey, Jenny asked Overton to send a note of support for her daughter. Instead, he showed his support in person. Thanks in part to the relationships Mickey has made, she’s been able to make a difference. On Saturday, she’ll be taking one step toward her goal — to make sure there is no more cancer. “It means the world to us that she gives back to Riley and to the community,” Jenny said. “It’s a tell of who she is. She wants to help others in any way she can.”

Men’s basketball loses 11th straight game to Kent State Coach stays hopeful after 58-53 defeat, drops team to 2-11

Junior Bo Calhoun’s careerhigh 18 points wasn’t enough to prevent the Ball State men’s basketball team from losing to Kent State, 58-53. Despite dropping its 11th consecutive game, Ball State head coach James Whitford remains focused on the process. “The feedback for us is the process,” Whitford said. “If we compete this hard every single night, in time, those are the habits that win championships.” As a team, Ball State, now 2-11 in the Mid-American Conference, shot under 40 percent for the eighth time this season. The Cardinals started strong, making their first four field goals to take an 11-6 lead. Fifth-year senior Matt Kamieniecki missed his third game, and Kent State took advantage by grabbing eight offensive rebounds in the first half. “I thought our guys really competed,” Whitford said. “[Kent State’s players are] huge. Their starting small forward is bigger than anyone on my team. Kent State continued to take advantage of Ball State’s lack of an inside presence, going on a 19-6 run to take a 32-21 with 3:05 to play in the first. Freshman Sean Sellers and redshirt junior Jeremiah Davis made back-to-back 3-pointers out of halftime, cutting the deficit to two at
