Stakeholders in the Student Government Association election process said changes need to be made to the current elections code to combat problems seen in this year’s election. Alex Sventeckis, elections board chairman, said the code does not cover everything that happened during the election. “There are complications you can’t foresee,” he said. “Beginning this semester, [we] need to look into what vul It can be nerabilities exist and where can we plug in difficult when gaps and give more we are tasked resources and tools to elections board.” with carrying Jennifer Jones-Hall, diout elections rector of Student Life, said she would like to code explicitly see a statement in SGA’s and we aren’t bylaws, constitution or elections code about the given maximum involvement of the standnumber of tools ing executive board.

During the elections, Cardinal Connection was investigated for communication with Alyssa France, current SGA vice president. No violation was found because any communication did not technically violate elections code. Jones-Hall said she would like to see a faculty or staff member added to the elections board, in addition to her role as an adviser. “A lot of schools do [have a staff voting member on the elections board],” she said. “As an adviser, I don’t have a vote. I think it would be really important for someone who has a vote to be on the board.” Such a move has not been considered by SGA in the past, Jones-Hall said. Sventeckis and Jones-Hall said the code should include an appeals process for election results. This year, election results were postponed for more than two hours while the elections board met. When the results were announced, Cardinal Connection won against Empower, but was also fined the maximum amount: $400. Members of Empower expressed their frustration with the fairness of the election result with the fine. There is no procedure in the elections code for contesting election results and the elections board disbands the Friday following the election.

3. VENEZUELA MOVES TROOPS TO PROTEST CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — On Monday, security forces took control of a Caracas plaza that has been at the heart of anti-government protests, which have shaken Venezuela for a month. Clusters of National Guardsmen patrolled Plaza Altamira and the principal streets extending from it while dozens of green-vested workers swept up debris protesters used to block streets in the neighborhoods of eastern Caracas. Officials were making the takeover
KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — Ignoring the toughest sanctions against Moscow since the end of the Cold War, Russian President Vladimir Putin recognized Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula as an “independent and sovereign country” on Monday, a bold challenge to Washington that escalates one of Europe’s worst security crises in years. The brief decree posted on the Kremlin’s website came just hours after the United States and the European Union announced asset freezes and other sanctions against Russian and Ukrainian officials involved in the Crimean crisis. President Barack Obama warned that more would come if Russia didn’t stop interfering. The West has struggled to find leverage to force Moscow off the Ukraine turmoil, of which Crimea is only a part, and analysts saw Monday’s sanctions as mostly ineffective. Crimea had been part of Russia since the 18th century until 1954. The ethnic Russian population sees annexation as correcting a historic insult.
a public relations event. At least four Venezuelan government ministers were present giving interviews about the plaza’s “liberation.” It was not immediately clear if the crackdown by some 1,000 members various security forces would stifle the student-led protests in the capital or if it might shift them elsewhere. Some student leaders vowed they would continue until the government meets their demands.
4. TOXIC SMOG FORCES PARIS TO 1-DAY BAN PARIS (AP) — Paris imposed drastic measures Monday to combat its worst air pollution in years, banning around half of the city’s cars and trucks from the streets for a day in an attempt to reduce the toxic smog that shrouded the City of Light for more than a week. Cars with even-numbered license plates were prohibited from driving in Paris and its suburbs, the first time this measure has been implemented since 1997. Around 700 police
manned 179 control points around the region, handing out tickets to offenders. Taxis and commercial vehicles weren’t covered by the ban. Police had ticketed nearly 4,000 people by midday, and 27 drivers had their cars impounded. France has seen exceptionally warm, dry weather this month with little wind, trapping car pollution and fumes from seasonal farming activity in the air. France’s diesel vehicles also contribute.

African students to visit Program to reinforce civic responsibilities, leadership training KARA BERG STAFF REPORTER | knberg2@bsu.edu
Seventy-two African high school students and mentors will come to Ball State this year as part of the Pan-Africa Youth Leadership Program. The first group of three will arrive April 3 and stay at Ball State for two weeks. The students were the highest scorers of a youth council exam in Sub-Saharan Africa. The Meridian International Center and Ball State’s Center for International Development sponsor the program. Huso Selimovic, project coordinator, said the purpose of the program is to strengthen high school students’ understandings of civic rights, responsibilities, respect for diversity and importance of community engagement. “They are going to learn about another culture’s customs and traditions, and it will encourage families to explore their own state and country,” Selimovic said. The students will live with volunteer host families during their time at Ball State, and Selimovic said the goal was to help participants experience the life of an Ameri-

can teenager. He said they have five students who are still in need of a host for the spring program and are in need of more homestay families. Families interested in hosting a student can download an application on the Ball State website. “To do this, families are most likely going to take participants out to movies, dinners, different events on campus or in our city or in our state,” Selimovic said. “This allows them to explore the community a little more.”
The students in the spring program are from Botswana, Kenya, Malawi, Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Ball State is the onlyuniversity the students will visit. According to meridian.org, during their time on campus, they will get to see and participate in classroombased lectures, interactive workshops, simulationsfocused on social entrepreneurship and community engagement. They also will go through leadership training.
According to meridian.org, the students will make action plans To apply as a to improve host family, their comgo to bit.ly/1c1gGAi munity and will present them at the closing conference in Chicago. After the program, the students will go back home and try to implement their plans in their hometowns. The two later groups coming to Ball State in the summer and the fall speak French as their native language, so the program gives them a chance to learn or practice another language. “It will also give an opportunity to [American] families who are interested in learning another language — they’ll be able to practice a little bit of a foreign language,” Selimovic said. He said they will have events where host families can meet each other and other students in the program. “Hopefully, it will just overall develop lasting relationships with international students,” Selimovic said. “If we’re successful, I’m sure that some of these students might even show interest in studying here at the university later down the road.”
The elections code is typically revised every year in the Fall Semester. Jones-Hall said she would like to see Anagnos and the SGA Rules and Constitution Committee make changes this semester before the new executive board is inaugurated in late April.
“Part of the difficulty is, after election is over, they’re very tired and don’t want to look at the document again,” Jones-Hall said. “The only reason I want to see it happen [now] is it’s still fresh in everyone’s mind. It would be good practice [to start revising code in the spring].”
Anagnos said she wants to make changes to the elections code during her last three weeks as president. “If I can get that done in three weeks,” Anagnos said. “I would like to finish it out in my term so Cardinal Connection doesn’t have to deal with that.”

ELECTIONS: Vote recall is among recommended changes | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Sventeckis said a provision should be added to accommodate postponing election results, a vote recall or an emergency election. He said after the voting, the holes in the elections code were a complication when making decisions. “It can be difficult when we are tasked with carrying out elections code explicitly and we aren’t given maximum number of tools — it makes our job more difficult,” he said. During this year’s election, candidates were told to behave in compliance with the Student Code of Conduct, but Chloe Anagnos, current SGA president, said that addition was never actually written into the code, which is something she wants to correct. “It wasn’t written down; I guess I overlooked it,” Anagnos said. “We didn’t have any problems but [we need] a blanket statement, so if someone does something they aren’t supposed to, [it can be reprimanded].
CARDINAL CONNECTION’S APPEAL
After the election, Cardinal Connection indicated it would contest its $400 fine. The fine concerned emails that Nick Wilkey, slate president, sent using Ball State’s computing system on the Monday of elections. The email in violation was sent out to Dance Marathon committee members, soliciting their votes. Wilkey said he did not know his action was in violation of the elections code. Under elections code, any fine appeals after the elections board disbands are handled by the SGA Judiciary Committee. Jones-Hall decided to pass the appeal to the Office of Student Rights and Community Standards. “[The Office of Student Rights and Community Standards] will pull together truly a non-biased student group to hear the appeal — people who are not affiliated,” she said. Jones-Hall said every person on the judiciary committee who is in SGA Student Senate worked on a slate, and she questioned the committee’s ability to make a fair decision. Empower’s vice presidential candidate Gabrielle Bunn serves as secretary of justice on the committee. The office will likely hear the appeal this week, Jones-Hall said.
LETTER: Message concerns faculty freedom of speech | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 In early 2013, he introduced Senate Bill 23 to allow schools to require students to recite the “Lord’s Prayer.” Later that year, he introduced a bill looking for “truth in education” to allow teachers to say why they believe a given theory, such as creationism, is true. Kruse did not return calls to comment on the letter. The legislators wrote that they also were “disturbed by reports that while you restrict faculty speech on intelligent design, BSU authorized a seminar that teaches ‘Science Must Destroy Religion.’” Ball State spokesman Tony Proudfoot said the legislators were referring to an honors
seminar, Dangerous Ideas, which uses a book that includes an essay with that title. “This is not a seminar that teaches that ‘Science Must Destroy Religion,’” Proudfoot said. “That phrase is simply the title of one four-page essay among 109 others.” Proudfoot said the university is limited in what it can say about the situation with Hedin because it’s a personnel matter for the 21,000-student school. “Dr. Hedin’s academic credentials are an asset to the university,” he said. “He remains an important and valued member of our physics and astronomy department.” The Discovery Institute, a Seattle-based intelligent design think tank, has defended Hedin’s Boundaries of Science course.

VICTORIA DAVIS BALL BEARINGS REPORTER | vtdavis@bsu.edu
Editor’s note: Ashley Downing works as a designer for Unified Media.
t all began as a simple Facebook post that led to a friendship and an undeniable love for hooping. Cassie Gabriel, a freshman elementary and special education major, was not only interested in finding a roommate, but also what she calls a “happy hooper.” “Everyone that responded thought I was talking about basketball, and Ashley [Downing] was the only one that knew that I was talking about hula hooping,” Gabriel said. Downing said she discovered her interest in hooping just a few months ago. “I had no idea how to hula hoop around my waist at that time, but then my friend made me a hula hoop, and I began teaching myself,” she said. The two students enjoy expressing themselves through movement at least once a day, weather permitting. During the night hours, they like to put on their own light show by hooping with LED lit hoops. “The cool thing about LED hooping is it plays with your peripherals; so as much as
you are giving someone a light show, you are also giving yourself one as well,” Downing said. “When you’re hooping in the dark, you aren’t thinking about looking at the crowd, but you’re more lost in the LED.” Downing said there is no trick to LED hooping because the lights act as a guide for performing. Many of the moves for this type of hooping is not limited to the waist as in traditional hooping, but also involve other body parts such as the arms, legs, wrists and neck. Gabriel purchased both of her LED hoops online for about $300 a piece. Downing purchased both a regular LED hoop and a supplemental hoop, which breaks apart into two mini hoops. “I didn’t want to get my LED hoop until I got better because I could reward myself,” Gabriel said. “But hooping with LED gets a lot more attention such as when you go to festivals and public places.” LED hoops with numerous light settings,

decor or colors can cost more than the average hoop. “The LED hoops are a little bit heavier than the average hoop and sometimes hurt,” Downing said, showing a bruise her hoop gave her. Both Downing and Gabriel have found that hooping is an escape from everyday life and by doing it often, it promises a better mood. “Cassie made me see it as more as a form of meditation, a way of connecting with yourself and finding your higher self,” Downing said. “When you hoop, you get into the flow of it, get lost in the music, and you tend to forget about everything else that is going on.” The first time Gabriel began hooping, she focused on perfecting each move and did not began to piece them together until she got more comfortable. This concept is what she calls “flow.” “It’s where you get so lost in learning that everything comes so easy and you go with it,” she said. “It is an amazing experience.”

CLOSET: Roommates use social media to advertise belongings they sell from room | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Although Liebeno works with Dining and Taylor has a job during breaks, they still describe themselves as two broke college girls looking for ways to make money. Upon activating their Instagram account, Liebeno and Taylor followed everyone they knew to spread the word about their new business. Sarah Lassiter, a freshman photography major, lives in the same hall as Liebeno and Taylor and received a phone notification that she had been
followed by Dorm Room Closet. After glancing at the items for sale, she commented on a photo of a crop top she liked. “There was a lot of variety,” she said about the available selection. “No matter what your style is, I think there was probably something you could find.” A few hours after commenting on the post, Lassiter had her shirt. “It was really reasonably priced,” she said. “I just kind of thought, ‘You know, I haven’t really been able to go out and go shopping in a while,
and they’re right down the hall from me, so why not?’” Liebeno and Taylor heavily considered prices before making their store official. “We keep it reasonable because these are college students, and they are in the same position that we are,” Taylor said. They researched eBay and other websites to get a feel for what customers were willing to pay. Liebeno also said Dorm Room Closet has an advantage over classified advertisement websites like Craigslist because buyers know who
the sellers are. Their venture has garnered some interest from students and old friends from their hometown. So far the two have sold about six items in total. Potential new costumers comment on their items almost every day. Thoughts of expansion don’t concern Liebeno and Taylor yet. They are content selling their used clothing and occasionally advertise through Instagram or Facebook. Until business increases, they say they’ll stick to their current business policy.

Freshman makes college transition look easy
Five wins lead team early during season, didn’t surprise coach
|
ANTHONY LOMBARDI STAFF REPORTER @ajlombardi
The transition to college baseball is one that many high school athletes have trouble with. However, for Ball State freshman Zach Plesac, the jump appears to be seamless. Coming out of Crown Point High School, Plesac quickly embraced his role in the Cardinals’ bullpen. Through the team’s first 21 games, Plesac’s five victories are by far the highest on the team. Scott
Baker and Nestor Bautista are next with two. Within the first seven days of his career at Ball State, he won the Mid-American Conference pitcher of the week award. “It was cool,� Plesac said about receiving the award. “I was getting shout-outs on Twitter, I was shouting people back; It was good, I’m happy for it.� Plesac has always placed high expectations on himself and he attributes his success to his work ethic and the time he puts into honing his craft. In addition to the wins and saves, Plesac has held opposing batters to a .218 batting average, which is a team-low and has allowed only six runs to score. The more than 3:1 strike-
out-to-walk ratio he currently holds is also a team best. Head coach Rich Maloney had initially heard of Plesac from an old college teammate and said he knew instantly that the 6-foot-3-inch right-handed pitcher could be a special asset to his team. While the freshman’s start has left many in awe, Maloney saw it coming. “I thought it wouldn’t be a problem for him,� he said on Plesac’s transition to the college game. “I expected that he would be really good right off the bat, I really did. He’s so physically mature. ... He has a cockiness, a confidence that only the gifted ones have.� The presence the young pitcher displays on the mound has not gone unnoticed by his

INDIVIDUAL STATISTICS ZACH PLESAC, A FRESHMAN PITCHER • Record: 5-1 • ERA: 1.88 • Innings pitched: 24 • Strikeouts: 24 • Walks: 7 teammates either. Scott Baker, Cardinals ace and last season’s MAC pitcher of the year, said the team gets a lift when Plesac is called from the pen. “It’s a big boost,â€? Baker said. “We have confidence in him that he is going to pitch well and that we can win when [games] are close.â€? Plesac could evolve into the team’s frontline start-
er. His current role in the bullpen, however, is one that Maloney thinks fits his “calm, cool and collected� demeanor perfectly. Knowing that on most occasions he will not be asked to pitch an extended amount of innings, Plesac is able to rear back and fire his fastball upwards of 95 mph. His repertoire also includes a slider as well as a developing changeup. A variety of pitches are a necessity to be successful both in college and at higher levels. Plesac’s career has barely gotten underway, but playing professional baseball has always been his long-term goal. “That’s my only dream,� Plesac said. “That’s what I’m trying to do — there’s one focus.�
COLTS HEAD COACH FACES FELONIES INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Colts owner and CEO Jim Irsay was pulled over just before midnight Sunday near his home in suburban Carmel. Police said they found multiple prescription drugs inside his vehicle, after being spotted driving slowly, stopping in the roadway and failing to use a turn signal. Police said Irsay failed several roadside field sobriety tests before he was arrested. The drugs weren’t associated with any of the pill bottles found inside, police said. The 54-year-old Irsay, who acknowledged a painkiller dependency more than a decade ago, faces preliminary charges of misdemeanor driving while intoxicated and four felony counts of possession of a controlled substance. –

QUAD TALK
For the second time in three years, Sbarro filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization March 10. Last month, the company closed down 155 of its United States locations, according to The Associated Press. The New York-based company has about 800 locations globally. The Atrium has the pizza chain’s only location in Muncie. Jon Lewis, director of campus dining services, could not be reached for comment on the future of the university’s restaurant. – STAFF REPORTS
FORUM POLICY
“WHAT DO YOU THINK OF SBARRO DECLARING BANKRUPTCY?”
« I didn’t really like « It’s really sad the pizza, so maybe they could replace it with a better pizza place.
»
DN PHOTO TAYLOR IRBY
Sbarro has declared bankruptcy for the second time in three years. It has not been announced whether the restaurant will stay in the Atrium or not.
ALEX VARVEL, a freshman telecommunications major
because we don’t really have any good pizza places on campus. I hope, if it goes away, another pizza place comes.
»
ALEXIS SCHERZINGER, a freshman nursing major
«
It’s not really surprising because it seems like it’s one of those mall, food court pizza places, not really a stand-alone operation.
