MEN’S VOLLEYBALL
Reserved attacker presents potential Junior builds additional muscle through alternative workouts |
DAVID POLASKI ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR @DavidPolaski
Hidden underneath a reserved personality is a driven mind. When Ball State outside attacker Matt Sutherland came to college, head men’s volleyball coach Joel Walton didn’t know how to help Sutherland come out of his shell. Walton turned to Sutherland’s club coach for guidance. “You need let him go and let him know you have confidence in him,” the club coach told Walton. “You have to put him out on the court and give him chances and there will be times he’ll do some INDIVIDUAL STATS absolutely spectac- MATT SUTHERLAND, A JUNIOR OUTSIDE ATTACKER ular things.” On Sunday, the ju- • Sets played: 42 nior set a career-high • Kills: 78 in kills against Lees- • Digs: 64 McRae with 11.

Walton describes him as quiet and laid back, but Sutherland wasn’t shy when describing what he saw in the Harvard defense that allowed him to have a career game. “We had problems with their middles, so we did the best we could pinching up,” he said. “Once we fixed that, it helped us take control. We watched a lot of video and tried to close out against their outsides.” With him taking sizable steps forward this season, Walton said some of Sutherland’s activities off the court have been the most beneficial. Last summer, he worked as a camp counselor and taught children how to water-ski. The rigorous physical activity strengthened his body and helped build stamina. “Something about his summer activities got him back to Ball State in very good shape,” Walton said.

People say McDonald’s took money from checks to pay for their uniforms
WNIT, AGAIN
|
NEW YORK — Organizers of the fast-food protests for higher pay shifted their attention Tuesday to another issue: “wage theft.” Protesters planned to rally outside McDonald’s restaurants in cities including Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles and Miami to call attention to the denial of overtime pay and other violations they say deprive workers of the money they’re owed. The demonstrations are a followup to lawsuits filed last week in three states on behalf of workers, who said they had their wages stolen by McDonald’s and its franchisees. Workers said money was deducted from their paychecks for their uniforms and that they were sometimes made to wait around before they could CONTACT US

Barbie is one of the most popular fashion dolls in the world, with annual sales of about $1.3 billion worldwide in 2013. But, according to a study done at Yale University, the doll’s proportions are highly unrealistic. Artist and researcher Nickolay Lamm created a recently launched crowdfunding for a new fashion doll with body proportions for a 19-year-old woman based on the national average. This doll, known as Lammily, is marketed for everyone and that “everyone is beautiful,” including an “average is beautiful” slogan.

Immersive learning leader to retire ‘Creative inquiries’ become cornerstone for Ball State after 14 years of programs |
RACHEL PODNAR CHIEF REPORTER rnpodnar@bsu.edu
A fixture of Ball State since 1968, and the pioneer of immersive learning at the university will retire at the end of the semester. Joe Trimmer, director of the Virginia B. Ball Center for Creative Inquiry, started the organization in 2000 with “creative inquiries,” which are now known as immersive learning and have been called the hallmark of a Ball State education by President Jo Ann Gora. Fourteen years ago, Trimmer was preparing to finish out his career as a writer when former President John Worthen approached him about creating a proposal for the center to present to Virginia Ball. “I thought about all the creative ideas that were operating in undergraduate ed-
ucation,” Trimmer said. “I put them all together in the center proposal, and I sent it to [Worthen], thinking it was the end and I could go back to my solitary lifestyle.” Ball, however, said she would fund the center as long as Trimmer agreed to run it. “My life changed, and I’ve been running it ever since,” he said. Since 2000, more than 700 students have participated in program offerings through the Virginia Ball Center, which hosts four immersive learning projects each year with about 15 students each. Stefan Anderson, former chairman of the Ball State University Foundation, said Trimmer led the way for immersive learning. “Joe was instrumental in bringing quality learning to these team-based programs,” Anderson said. “Virginia Ball had a strong belief that this kind of teaching and learning would work, but it was Joe Trimmer who made it work with strong support from the provost and faculty.” Warren Vander Hill was provost of Ball State when the center was started. He
TEACHERS COLLEGE RIBBON CUTTING The nearly $17 million renovation to the Teachers College will officially open at a ceremony today. President Jo Ann Gora and John Jacobson, dean of the Teachers College, with the Board of Trustees will cut the ribbon at today’s ceremony at 3 p.m. in Lecture Hall Room 121. The little more than two year project has made changes to every floor, office and classroom of the building, according to a press release. Renovations include technological enhancements, improved energy efficiency and offices and conference room improvements. The construction on one of Muncie’s tallest buildings began as part of a $500 million campus renovation plan beginning in 2012. Later, it was split into five phases that made the building Leadership Energy and Environmental Design certified. “The Teachers College was opened in 1968 and hasn’t gone through a renovation of significance since then, so it really needed a facelift to begin with,” Jacobson told the Daily News in June 2013. Throughout construction, two or three floors were closed at a time allowing for a complete gutting of the interior, said Jim Lowe, director of engineering and construction operations. Currently, the Teachers College is home to six academic departments as well as a student-advising center, clinics and iCare Corner. –
STAFF REPORTS
AUTHORS TEACH WRITING AT EVENT The 2014 In Print Festival began Tuesday as authors read excerpts from their works to students and faculty. The English department hosted event is in its ninth year to showcase authors whose first book was published in the past year. Sean Lovelace, an associate professor of English, said showcasing recently published authors, instead of established writers, makes students less nervous to talk and learn from the authors. “I want to show to students writers are just ordinary people,” he said. Author Mario Alberto Zambrano read from his novel “Lotería” at the event, in which a young girl tells the story of her family’s death. Zambrano said he hopes the festival encouraged students to write. “There is a lot of talent in the deeper consciousness in young students,” he said. For Zambrano, the act of writing is not only about reliving memories but also about creating feelings. “A book is an opportunity for me to tell a story that may resemble something I felt or something I want to feel,” he said. A Q-and-A session with authors T. Fleischmann, Natalie Shapero and Zambrano will take place today at 7:30 p.m. in the Alumni Center Assembly Hall. Lovelace said the event will dispel any myths about publishing students may have. “I really want to show to Ball State students there is no one way to get published,” Lovelace said.
Natalie Shapero, an author
said the Virginia Ball Center has grown to something much more than they anticipated 14 years ago. “Joe is an academic, a scholar with a great deal of intellectual breadth, vision,” Vander Hill said. “When the center began to move in a more all-campus direction, Joe was certainly the right person [to direct the center].” In his 46 years at the university, Trimmer has seen Ball State transition from an open-admission university to a more selective one. Without greater selectivity, Trimmer said, immersive learning could not have taken off. “[There are] better students, better classes and better moral among faculty,” he said. Trimmer calls himself a “drum beater” for Ball State students and a “talent scout” for the center. His time is spent recruiting professors to run projects and engaging with students at the center. “People ask me why I haven’t retired earlier,” Trimmer said. “It’s too much fun. It
keeps you engaged intellectually and emotionally. I get excited about every time I learn something new or engage with people in conversation. It makes my day.” Rai Peterson, an associate professor of English, has worked with Trimmer for 33 years as both a student and colleague. She said she never starts an immersive learning project without his guidance. “I think he solves problems in his sleep,” she said. “You can meet with him in the evening and say, ‘I have a great idea, but there is an insurmountable problem.’ And he’ll call you at 6 a.m. and say he has the answer. He always adds something to the initial idea.” Trimmer said he plans to write and do consulting work for educational organizations, but it is most important to him to remain a part of the Muncie community. “I don’t understand people who at the end of a long period of time in one town, where they know everybody, decide to move [far away],” he said. “In retirement, I’m not someone who plays golf all day. I need interaction with people and running projects.”
Students make sacrifices for chance to guide, counsel students as new RA University announces resident assistants for academic year |
KAITLIN LANGE CHIEF REPORTER kllange@bsu.edu
Despite all of the challenges faced every day by resident assistants, the position draws a large number of applicants who want to help their fellow students. Ball State hired 129 RAs for the next school year, more than half of which are returning RAs, said Cindy Miller, assistant director of Housing and Residence Life for Marketing, Communications, and Technology. Aside from gaining experience with planning and working with students, RAs receive free room and board, a 21-meal plan and an additional $1,300 stipend to compensate for their time working for the university. Hannah Merk, a freshman education major, said she decided to become an RA because she enjoys being around people and helping them. “I really wanted to help residents feel welcome at Ball
MONETARY PERKS • Free room and board • 21-meal plan • $1,300 stipend State, and I really wanted to become a bigger part of Ball State as whole,” Merk said. “As an RA, you’re not really a counselor to your residents, but you help them out and form bonds with them.” RAs act as positive role models for students in their hall, according to the online job description. They also have to ensure their residents don’t break university rules and try to encourage the growth of student communities. Merk said her new job will be a big change that will require some sacrifices. She had originally planned to try to get a leadership role for Dance Marathon or rush for a sorority this fall, positions her commitment to her new job won’t allow. Freshmen accounting major Will Leonard found out he made the cut the week before Spring Break. While he is excited for the reimbursements, they weren’t the reason he took the job.
STEPS TO BECOME A RESIDENT ASSISTANT 1. Student staff info night: An open information night for students interested in becoming a resident assistant, multicultural assistant or community assistant 2. Apply: Applications are due Jan. 2 and are available online 3. Sign up for EDHI 200: The one-hour, required course focuses on residence hall leadership 4. First round of interviews: This
30-minute interview will be conducted by staff members of their current hall and one other building 5. Second round of interviews: Those that pass the first interview take part in another 30-minute interview with two to five hall directors 6. Notification letter: This is where students will find out if they are accepted or rejected SOURCE: bsu.edu
“At some point, I want to own a hotel,” he said. “That’s part of the service industry, so there are a lot of similarities between the two.” Free room and board and the extra stipend opened up more opportunities for Leonard, who plans to get an unpaid internship now that he doesn’t have to work over the summer to make extra money. He decided to become an RA even before he came to Ball State and enrolled in the required class, EDHI 200 Introduction to Personnel Services in the Residence Halls. He was one of a few freshmen taking the course during the fall, he said. The class is required for any
student who wants the job and focuses on developing leadership roles in the residence halls. After completing the class, students must fill out an application and make it through two rounds of interviews. Merk said she thinks the hardest part of being an RA will be budgeting her time around helping her neighbors, doing homework and taking care of herself. “I know there are going to be times where I want to be with my residents and interacting with them, but I know that I have to focus on myself first, school second and being an RA third,” she said.

tates may share similar accents and local foods, but now a map is giving each one a trending music artist. Paul Lamere, director of the music intelligence company Echo Nest, said the different musicians included on the map published in February represented the distinctive taste of music for that particular state. Lamere had looked over data from some of the music streaming sites underneath the control of the Echo Nest, such as Spotify. He then used the collected information to create a map of the United States with different artists’ names squeezed within the borders of each one. Blake Shelton, country music star and judge of “The Voice,” took Indiana’s spot. Devin Summan, a sophomore communications major, said he agreed with Shelton’s ranking because he is a country fan. “Indiana’s very country dominant when it comes to music,” he said. “He fits in the genre pretty well.” Rachael Brown, a senior sales major, said she didn’t even recognize Shelton’s name. She said her and her friends generally listened to hip-hop.
Music groups such as The Head and the Heart, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros soon picked up on the article, sharing it on Facebook and thanking their fans. Later in another blog post, Lamere said his first map had caused some confusion. His readers misinterpreted his most distinctive artist map as listing the most popular artist per state. He had actually looked at the most listened to artists in each state and compared them to different regions. Artists listened to significantly more in one state than any other were the ones included on his first map. Lamere then posted a new map with the artists streamed the most in each state over the last year according to the same data. His findings revealed Jay Z to be the most streamed artist in Indiana. All of Indiana’s bordering states also showed the rapper as their most popular artist. As an opposition to his maps, he created one that shows which artists get fewer listens in a region compared to how popular they are in the nation based on the top 50 artists in the last year. For Indiana, it is Haim, a band that also gets less love in Ohio, Florida,
Mississippi and Arizona. Melinda Messineo, a sociology associate professor, said an artist’s approval rate stems from word of mouth as well as the strength of the live music culture and the radio play of different artists in each area. “Familiarity is linked to affinity,” she said. She acknowledged the affect of region on popularity, but said with the Internet, the connection between where someone lives and which artists they prefer has lessened. Keaton Leach, a Catholic missionary at Ball State, moved from Illinois. Since his move, he has yet to notice a difference in listening preferences between the states. Instead, Leach mostly notices differences in an artist level of fame in different areas as a result of age rather than whether a person lives on the East Coast or not. Messineo agrees youth does factor into the maps, only because she doesn’t see older people using Spotify.
Judge orders Chris Brown to remain in jail until April Attitude, comments during group therapy cost singer probation | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — With a roll of his eyes and a comment that he was good at using guns and knives, Chris Brown may have cost himself weeks of freedom and his chance to get back to making music anytime soon. The reasons for Brown’s dismissal from a Malibu rehab facility were detailed in court on Monday, with a judge ordering the Grammy winner to remain in jail until a formal probation violation hearing can be convened on April 23. The jail stint will be Brown’s longest and comes more than five years after he viciously attacked his then-girlfriend Rihanna in a rented sports car just hours before the Grammy Awards. Superior Court Judge James R. Brandlin said he was most troubled by a comment the singer made during a group
therapy session last week. “I am good at using guns and knives,” the rehab reported Brown said in response to an exercise asking him to reflect on what he was good or excelled at. Other transgressions cited by rehab workers included the singer ignoring a worker who was waiting to give him a drug test, rubbing elbows with a woman when he had signed an agreement to stay at least two feet away from all female clients and joking telling fellow patients, “I’m going to ask my higher power to take away my troubles.” When asked whether he was serious, Brown said yes while shaking his head no, a report on Brown’s conduct stated. Outside court, Brown’s attorney described Brown as having a bad day at the facility and said he didn’t think his client should be forced to stay behind bars for another month. “You know — do you have a bad day? I have bad days sometimes,” Mark Geragos said outside the courthouse. “Do you say things you’d like to take back? I certainly do. So I don’t
know that being in a therapeutic session and you’re talking about your reflections and you say one sentence means you go to jail? Seems to me to be counterproductive to therapy.” Geragos said he planned to petition to have Brown released before the April hearing. The singer has legal woes on the East Coast as well and is due to go on trial in a misdemeanor assault case in Washington, D.C., on April 17. Geragos said Brown’s incarceration might make it impossible for the trial to start on time, and would be a waste of judicial and jail resources. Deputy District Attorney Mary Murray said Brown has had chances to comply with his sentence for the Rihanna attack, which required him to obey all laws and complete six months’ worth of community labor. Brown’s completion of those hours was called into question, and Brandlin required the singer to do another 1,000 hours of roadside cleanup and graffiti removal as punishment for a misdemeanor hit-and-run case.

SUTHERLAND: Player builds strength through aquatics | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 After returning to Ball State, Sutherland enrolled in different aquatics classes that have helped increase muscle in his legs and arms, allowing him to attack better. The classes sometimes interfered with volleyball practice during the fall. On multiple occasions, he’s either had to leave practice early or completely missed it in order to attend the aquatics classes. If the classes are helping Sutherland improve his physicality, Walton doesn’t see a problem with it and also thinks the extra time Sutherland has spent in the weight room is beneficial. “For a volleyball player, if you can jump and inch or two higher, that’s significant,” Walton said. “It feels like you’re flying. And when you see him in the weight room, he’s putting up some ridiculous weights.” The added strength has paid off this season. He’s seen increased playing time, and it
has resulted in career-highs across the board, including 78 kills, 64 digs and 26 block assists in 42 sets. He’s a part of a three-man rotation that includes Larry Wrather and Shane Witmer. The three take pressure off each other and one can be inserted if another is struggling. Sutherland started against IPFW, but he was pulled for Wrather, who ended up helping lead Ball State to victory. Later that week, Wrather started against Harvard but struggled and hit -.750 on just four attempts. He was quickly pulled for Sutherland, who went on to have a career night. “Sometimes, you get into a situation where a player isn’t performing very well,” Walton said. “You have the opportunity to try someone else and have the option of putting them on the court.” Every one of Sutherland’s 13 kills against Harvard was needed. The team won in five sets, taking the fifth in overtime 16-14.

GILBERT: Senior balances college, international softball
| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “I’m just trying to play my game and get good, timely hits,” Gilbert said. “I want to fill whatever role presents itself for the team.” Gilbert said she believes in a process-oriented philosophy rather than a result-oriented philosophy. She said focusing on how to reach both individual and team goals pushes her to be the best player she can be. “She’s very into doing the right thing and being the best teammate she can be,” head coach Tyra Perry said. “She is very committed to everything she does for the team.”
A NATIONAL PLAYER
Born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan in Canada, Gilbert dreamed of playing softball for the Canadian National Softball Team as a little girl. After moving and playing softball at McKinney High School in Texas, her dreams of playing at the next level came true. Gilbert was selected in 2009 for the Canadian Women’s U16 National Team. She tallied at least one hit in all eight games she played, but that was just the beginning. As her college search began, Gilbert emailed every Division I school in the United States. Ball State’s successful softball program, led by Canadian coach Craig Nicholson, stood out to Gilbert. “I loved that Ball State had a good exercise science program,” she said. “I liked the girls and fell in love with the campus.”
FROM CANADIAN TO CARDINAL
Gilbert started every game her freshman season — 55 as designated hitter and three in left field. She went on to break single-season records for RBIs with 63 and home runs with 15. She was named to the MidAmerican Conference AllFreshman Team following the season’s end. Despite a disparity in level of competition, Gilbert said she continues to use her time at Ball State to prepare for international play. “The national team is a higher level than college, and I see better pitching speed wise and in movement,” Gilbert said. “Even though I’m not playing against the same quality of talent in college, I still feel I am prepared for the national team.” She didn’t slow down in her

next two seasons with Ball State. Committing only three errors as a sophomore and two as a junior, Gilbert earned back-to-back MAC Player of the Year honors. “[Gilbert’s)] talent level is definitely high but what makes her who she is that she really works hard,” Perry said. “If I had 20 players on the roster like Jenny, I would be the luckiest [coach] in the world.” Gilbert has broken MAC records for home runs with 58 and runs scored with 168. Gil-
bert aspires to continue playing softball after college with the Canadian National Team and eventually coach at the college level.
OFF THE FIELD
Her contributions go beyond the softball diamond. Gilbert volunteers at the YMCA of Muncie and also gives hitting lessons to young softball players. Gilbert said working in the community makes her feel rewarded in a way that even a broken softball record can’t match. “I try, as busy as I am playing
softball, to volunteer and give back when I can,” she said. “I want to inspire the young girls who are just starting softball to continue and grow to love it as much as I do.” Gilbert continues to reach goals and set the tone for the season. Perry said the team has potential to move past a MAC Championship behind Gilbert’s peaking ability. “She’s got that solid mindset of a champion,” Perry said. “She knows she can compete with anyone, any time, in any place.”

Coach preps team for 2nd WNIT run NCAA Tournament chances dropped in weekend loss
|
DAKOTA CRAWFORD SPORTS EDITOR @DakotaCrawford_
After a week of leading his team in the Mid-American Conference Tournament, Ball State women’s basketball head coach Brady Sallee is taking a backseat. Ball State earned a berth in the Women’s National Invitational Tournament after a loss to Akron in the MAC Championship. It’s a national tournament that forces players to compete against unfamiliar opponents and at a high pace. Sallee said coaching plays less of a role in the WNIT as teams aren’t equipped to game plan against a new opponent.
“The tournaments are a player’s game,� he said. “Conference play is usually steered pretty heavily by coaches.� Ball State would be in the NCAA Tournament had it defeated Akron on Saturday. Sallee said he’d like to be playing in the NCAA Tournament, but he’s taking this opportunity in stride. “[Nationally], 128 teams are still playing and 220 aren’t,� he said. “That’s the reality of it and to be a part of that is pretty special.� Ball State has already played its fair share of tournament games this postseason. In defeating four teams to advance to the MAC Championship, Ball State became the first team to ever play five games in one MAC tournament. Just one win stood between Ball State and a berth in the NCAA Tournament, but Sallee
