Bike lanes to connect university with Muncie Mayor wants students to have easy access on campus, in city ROSE SKELLY STAFF REPORTER | rmskelly@bsu.edu
Muncie and Ball State are collaborating to make bike lanes connecting the university to the rest of Muncie. The superintendent of Muncie Public Works, Duke Campbell, said bike lanes would run through and around Ball State. A bike lane would run directly through campus on McKinley Avenue, connecting Bethel Avenue to University Avenue and White River Boulevard. There would also be bike lanes connecting McGalliard Road and Oakwood Avenue to Bethel Avenue, and Bethel to Riverside Avenue by way of New York Avenue. Campbell said he was working with Jim Lowe, who is the director of engineering, construction and operations for Ball State. He said he couldn’t say when the project would be finished, citing potential right-of-way and construction issues. The city and Ball State wanted the project completed by the end of the year. Mayor Dennis Tyler said it’s important for students to have accessibility throughout Ball State and the city of Muncie, and the city is working to provide that. “A lot of younger people, … they don’t even want to get in a car during the weekend. They want to be able to bike or walk wherever they go, or get on a bus,” Tyler said. “We’re working very hard to do that. We’re adding bicycle lanes, we’re moving bicycle lanes closer to Ball State.”

Lack of interest, net revenue deficits lead to potential cuts for NCAA men’s volleyball
Only certain sports are “headcount” sports, which means the number of scholarships given out must equal the number of players on scholarship. The rest of the sports are “equivalency” sports, which means the team has a certain amount of scholarships to be given out to as many players as the team sees fit. The following numbers are from the 2014-15 seasons.
ROBBY GENERAL STAFF REPORTER | @The_Generex6
A
bout 10 years ago, Ball State men’s volleyball coach Joel Walton sat in front of the Ball State administration to discuss keeping the program alive at the school. For the third time in his career, he was forced to discuss why men’s volleyball made sense for the future of the university and why the university shouldn’t drop the team completely. “In the collegiate athletic realm, we’ve spent a lot of time catching up,” Walton said. “Even though there are more boys playing, getting Division I schools excited or even willing to add men’s volleyball has been extremely difficult.” Ball State is not the only university under pressure to drop men’s volleyball. Just last year, the University of Pacific eliminated the sport in accordance to its “Focusing on Our Future” initiative. According to the NCAA Sports Sponsorship and Participation Rates Report 2013-2014, Division I men’s volleyball had 33 teams in the 1981-82 season and experienced a large drop that MEDIAN reached as low as 20 teams VALUES from 1986-88.

Struggling offense leads to end of winning streak Cardinals shoot near season-low, drop 11-4 in MAC ZACH CAINS CHIEF REPORTER | @ZPC1329 A five-game losing streak ended on Wednesday night at Worthen Arena as the Ball State women’s basketball team fell by doubledigits for only the second time this season, 56-41 to Eastern Michigan. “We just seemed not completely prepared out there, to be honest,” head coach Brady Sallee said. “Eastern Michigan came ready to play a big game, and we didn’t match what they brought.” The offense struggled from the tip, scoring just 15 points in the first half. It was the Cardinals’ lowest first-half output all season. Eastern Michigan’s fullcourt press stifled the Cardinals, forcing them to toss up multiple shots just before the shot clock buzzer. The shooting percentages for Ball State were near a season-low, finishing 23 percent from field goal range and 19 percent from beyond the arc. Only Nathalie Fontaine managed to score in double digits for Ball State. She also pulled down 11 rebounds for a double-double. The second half was no different, with the Cardinals not seeming to have the drive that led them to five straight wins. Their ball handling struggled, with 16 turnovers on nine steals by the Eagles. On the defensive side, Eastern Michigan scored 20 points in the paint com-

pared to Ball State’s 10. The Cardinals surrendered 19 offensive rebounds as well, giving up many secondchance opportunities. “We are going to learn a lot about who we are as team these next couple days,” Sallee said. “Hopefully this is just a blip, but we can’t play like we did to-
night with just a handful of games left.” With the loss, the Cardinals fall to 15-11 on the season and 11-4 in MidAmerican Conference play. Though they remain two games ahead in the MAC West Division, Ball State is now two games behind conference-leading Ohio. With three games remaining until the postseason, Ball State will take on Western Michigan on at 2 p.m. Feb. 28 in Kalamazoo, Mich., looking to win its sixth straight road game. When the two teams squared off earlier this season, the Cardinals defeated the Broncos 54-36.

In 2015, there are 28 Division I men’s volleyball programs left. However, the combination of Division I and Division II create a larger competition field. From slow beginnings, men’s volleyball never had a chance to explode prior to the gender equity laws formed in 1972. School administration did not find it necessary to add men’s volleyball as a sport. The NCAA was officially founded in 1906, but men’s volleyball did not have a registered collegiate championship until 1970. Walton said these humble beginnings are the reason that men’s volleyball still doesn’t have a huge following. Ball State has an attendance average of 934 per home match this season. The university does not charge students or adults to attend men’s volleyball matches and relies primarily on donations to cover general costs, equipment and travel, among other expenses. According to the NCAA Revenues/Expenses Division I Report from 2004-2013, Division I men’s volleyball lost about $352,000 per FBS school in 2013. But Walton said there is an overlook when it comes to the revenue numbers brought in by sports teams and the distinction between which sports bring in revenue. “When you look at collegiate athletic programs, there’s a misnomer in revenue sports and non-revenue sports,” he said. “I think men’s volleyball makes a lot of sense. We only have four-and-a-half scholarships, so the other 15 of our guys are paying full price to be here.” Since about 75 percent of a team’s roster pays full tuition to their respected universities, total revenue gained through tuition exceeds the expenses for the sport. While men’s volleyball is on the decline, women’s volleyball has added over 100 teams in the past 32 years. Women’s volleyball has more than three times the number of men’s volleyball programs across all three NCAA divisions.
University bragging rights were on the line Tuesday at the Ball State men’s basketball game, as the Cardinal Deans’ Shootout Championship highlighted the halftime entertainment. John Fallon, associate vice president of economic development and community engagement, and Kyle Boyd, a freshman business major, sunk 19 shots from the free-throw line in 30 seconds to take the victory. The pair had previous basketball experience on its side, as Fallon played a year of Division I basketball at Western Michigan and Boyd played four years of basketball in high school. “I thought we would win,” Boyd said. Fallon said he was nervous in the beginning, but also said he was confident in their ability to defeat the other eight teams competing. Fallon and Boyd were representing “Building Better Communities,” an effort to connect Ball State students to the surrounding community.

SATURDAY Looking to snap its 12-game losing streak, the men’s basketball team travels to take on Toledo at 7 p.m.
Title IX requires gender equity for men’s and women’s athletics in every educational program that receives federal funding. This forces school administration to balance the number of sports teams on both ends of the gender spectrum. But when school administrations sit down to discuss funding for athletic teams, revenue sports like football and basketball are almost always safe for the future. Men’s volleyball and other small sports are sometimes categorized as a flexible option. Ball State’s rich history of volleyball works in its favor, as it helped start men’s volleyball across the country. The program benefits from continuing contributions of longstanding fans and alumni. While the sport will never sell tickets like football or basketball, men’s volleyball is seen as successful rather than a risk at varying schools across the nation. The sport can also draw a big crowd if a top team comes to town — Ball State drew 1,513 spectators when then No. 10 Penn State came to Worthen Arena on Jan. 16.

FAA proposes commercial drone usage Law could allow ways to track weather, conduct searches KARA BERG CHIEF REPORTER | knberg2@bsu.edu Drones, or unmanned aerial systems, have the potential to be used for news reporting, disaster management, conducting search and rescue missions and tracking weather, but federal law does not allow businesses to use them. But a new proposal from the Federal Aviation Administration may open up some of those opportunities commercially. If the proposal passes, businesses would be allowed to use small drones for themselves. Proposals from the FAA usually take about 18 months to decide. Currently, drones are only allowed for personal use – business use is granted on a case-by-case basis from the FAA, according to knowbeforeyoufly.org. Tim Underhill, a telecommunications instructor who is studying the media’s use of drones, said the new proposal offers some hope for people who want to use drones commercially. “[Drones are] a great tool to use to get a really great shot, but because of the previous FAA ruling, it has been difficult to do for commercial purposes,” he said. He said being able to use drones in reporting – or even in any other aspect – would
be more convenient than having to hire an aircraft to get the footage. “I can carry a helicopter or QuadCop in my car and pull it out,” Underhill said. “There’s a lot of savings and the potential is very unlimited.” But with the new rule proposal comes more regulations. The drones must weigh less than 55 pounds, they cannot be operated over any people not directly involved in the operation and the drone must remain in visual line of sight at all times, according to the FAA. Underhill said some concerns with using drones for commercial purposes are safety and privacy. However, current privacy regulations don’t prohibit putting a camera on a kite or a hot air balloon, so using the drones would be the same thing, Underhill said. “[Safety is] really where the FAA stepped in and proposed regulations,” he said. “Because of safety regulations, some of the things you’ve heard about drones doing in the future aren’t going to happen. You aren’t going to have Amazon delivering packages to your front door. That’s what [Academy of Model Aeronautics] says, and I like it.” Brian Wynne, president and CEO of the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International, said in a statement that the proposed rule
PROPOSED RULES • Must weigh less than 55 pounds • Operator must remain in eyesight of drone • Drone may not be operated over people not involved in operation • Can only be operated during the day • Speed must not exceed 100 mph
SOURCE: faa.gov
is a critical milestone in the drone integration process, and it is something that is overdue. “UAS technology has largely remained grounded while many prospective users wait for the regulatory framework to catch up,” Wynne said. “This is a good first step in an evolutionary process that brings us closer to realizing the many societal and economic benefits of UAS technology.” However, all drone users aren’t completely in agreement with the new rule proposals. Michael Drobac, executive director of Small UAV Coalition, said while he thought the proposal is a great first step, it won’t bring us far enough to even be able to compete with other countries who use drone technology. Japan, for example, uses drones to regulate crop production and monitor soil quality. Some of the concerns he has are that the FAA proposal doesn’t allow, or even entertain, the opportunity for the drone to leave the eyesight of the pilot. A person isn’t even

Professor to speak about sexual assault in class Ayalon discusses campus rape culture using Twitter page KARA BERG CHIEF REPORTER | knberg2@bsu.edu
At the end of his History 150 class each week, Yaron Ayalon stops lecturing to give 5-10 minute talks on various social issues and how students can improve themselves. A topic the assistant history professor spoke about last semester, and one he is repeating Thursday, is rape culture and sexual assault. The lecture is open to all students. Last semester when Ayalon spoke about sexual assault, he showed photos students had sent into an anonymous Twitter page, @BsuFessions. But when students saw some of the nude, or almost nude photos posted on the page, they sent Snapchats of the page, saying how they “learn about noodz in class.” “This is a page that promotes rape cultures,” he said. “You just need to read the tweets. How women are objectified on this page, how men talk about wom-
en, what they say about different body parts of women and men and what they would like to do with them.” Ayalon said he is planning on showing those photos again, but this time he wants to talk about his students’ reactions to them. As a self-proclaimed feminist, Ayalon said he thinks sexual assault is a major issue on college campuses. “Women on this campus are getting raped every year,” he said. “This is my second year at Ball State, and I already know 12 women who have been assaulted. If this is not a serious problem we all have to be talking about, I don’t know what is.” One in five undergraduate women reported experiencing attempted or completed sexual assault since entering college, according to a study done by the Center for Disease Control. While most of Ayalon’s talks are about setting career goals, the one on sexual assault is the only one that doesn’t relate back to their career. “I do [these talks] because I feel like a lot of students come to college and they need a lot of extra guidance beyond what they’re getting from advisers or the Ball State website,” Ayalon said.

Chris Holmes, a Muncie resident, reached out to Gray to expand on the business. Holmes is the primary delivery driver for the whole Muncie area. “I fell in love with the idea,” Holmes said. “I felt like if it could be done in Kokomo, I was confident it could be done in Muncie.” Holmes said he spent time
researching the area to prepare for deliveries and restaurants in Muncie. “I had to look more into it since it was a college town and the demographic was different,” he said. Holmes is able to deliver to any home, university residence or business. So far, he has not delivered to any campus building. With merchant services and online ordering, Holmes will put in the order request to the particular restaurant himself and then pick it up.

either with themselves or someone close to them. Students in the Ingelhart Program work directly with community members facing depression. A writer is assigned to each storyteller, which is the person facing depression. The stories will be published in a book that is designed by members of the Ingelhart Program. Nineteen storytellers stepped up to share their experiences with depression. With the limited number of writers in the Ingelhart Program, only eight of the stories are going into the printed book. The rest will appear on the Ingelhart website. One writer involved in the project is Nathan DeYoung, a freshman telecommunication news and meteorology climatology major. “Depression is not one of those topics that is regularly talked about,” DeYoung said. “Let’s be honest, it’s something people try to avoid. The Facing Project was founded on those ideas of telling stories on topics that related to that.” To find the storytellers, Ingelhart scholars looked to community donors and sponsors. They reached out to Mental Health of America and local offices that help people suffering from depression and anxiety. The results from these outlets, however, were not what the program was hoping for, so they turned to social media to draw in storytellers. The writers for The Facing Project write the stories in first person. This requires them to connect deeply with their storytellers.
Voted Best of Ball State & Muncie’s Finest
A typical meeting between a storyteller and a writer lasts around an hour and a half. DeYoung said the writers started out connecting with their storytellers on a personal basis before diving into the interviews. “Ultimately, it’s about the storyteller,” DeYoung said. “It’s not about the writer.” The program offers two different tracks: the writing track and the promotions track. Emily Brungard, a freshman advertising major, is involved with the promotions track. Her job entails maintaining social media updates, sending out press releases and anything else that relates to promoting the project. Though Brungard does not work personally with the storytellers, she has “heard some amazing stories” from those who do. “[Depression] is a topic that really has no barriers,” Brungard said. “Whether you’re a college student or not, no matter your race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status — depression doesn’t pick and choose who it affects.” Timmerman has worked with the program scholars during the writing process. After reading the stories, he feels more educated on the topic of depression. “In 10 years of teaching, I honestly don’t know if I’ve seen such commitment and enthusiasm toward a common goal, and I hope we can sustain it,” Kuban said. The stories included in the facing depression project will be read in monologue style at 7 p.m. April 23 at the Muncie Civic Theatre. The event is free and open to the public.
