AWARD IGNITES RACIAL DEBATE
Students use social media for discussion of race, controversy

LAUREN CHAPMAN UNIFIED MEDIA ONLINE MANAGING EDITOR lechapman@bsu.edu
Last Monday at 10:55 a.m., students received an email from the university announcing senior journalism and telecommunications major Chloe Anagnos as the
winner of the John R. Emens Outstanding Senior Award. In less than two hours, senior architecture major Huy Pham posted a screenshot of that email next to a 2013 Ball State Daily News article in which Anagnos defended owning a Confederate flag. Anagnos has since thrown out the flag, but her award selection triggered a social media outcry that parallels a long national debate about race. Since its posting, the screenshot and article have been shared 25
decades of
times and received more than 50 comments, including shares. The original Daily News story, which ran in September 2013, has received 4,884 page views on ballstatedaily.com in the past week. That story chronicled Anagnos’ preparation to become SGA president following Malachi Randolph’s resignation from office after he posted racially insensitive tweets. In lieu of an interview, Anagnos responded to the Daily News on Sunday with a statement: “I have always been an advocate for
equality and diversity among all facets of life, but I haven’t always been as culturally aware as I am today. … I’m graduating from Ball State University more culturally aware and appreciative than when I enrolled four years ago: these four years have changed my life and how I see the world.” In his Facebook post, Pham used the hashtag #NotJustSAE in reference to a racist video of a University of Oklahoma fraternity chapter.

The Ball State gymnastics team ended its season Saturday after tying for sixth at the Mid American Conference Championships in Akron, Ohio. The Cardinals scored a 193.2, lower than last year’s event score of 193.97. Ball State ended the regular season with a 3-10 record. “It’s definitely frustrating because … our expectations are that we build each week and we do better than the week before,” head coach Joanna Saleem said. “We haven’t had a poor performance like that in a really long time.”

The Ball State gymnastics team tied for sixth at the MAC Championships this weekend in Akron, Ohio. The Cardinals closed their regular season with a 3-10 record.
Saleem said the team had a rough start with bars, their weakest event. She said beam went better, but they did not compete as strongly as they are capable of. After having a talk about not over- or under-compensating
and focusing, the team ended the meet strong on floor and vault. However, Saleem said it was too late to catch up. “When we get to the championship meet, we have to be able to treat it just like any other day and do what we

The Women and Gender Studies department will host events throughout campus as part of Women’s Week 2015. The theme is titled “Sister, Cister!,” a spin-off of the 90s television series to unify women and call for diversity. The annual celebration will feature lectures, discussions, music, art and theater during the last week of March, concluding Women’s History Month. Events will focus on women of note in a number of subjects. Some of the events include Women in Music, Indiana Women of Achievement
and Women in the Workplace. These events are a time for celebration and recognition, said Ashleigh Bingham, Women’s Week coordinator. “There’s a little slogan called ‘Support your sisters, not WOMEN IN ART just your cisRead about one of ters’ which is the week’s events saying love all women, sup- + PAGE 6 port all women, whether they’re cisgender, genderqueer, transgender, LGBT.

Team falls to 12-16 record after 3 weekend losses Offense struggles after 2nd inning in home game |
ZACH CAINS STAFF REPORTER @ZPC1329
The Ball State softball team suffered a 5-3 loss to Western Kentucky Sunday at the Softball Field at the First Merchant Ballpark Complex. The Hilltoppers swept the Cardinals in the weekend’s three-game set. Down 1-0 in the bottom of the first, the Cardinals scored three runs to take the lead. A single by right-fielder Hanne Stuedemann scored left-fielder Loren Cihlar to tie the game at 1-1. Stuedemann advanced to third on a throwing error, and catcher Jessica Craft tripled to right to bring in Stuedemann. Craft later scored on a double by designated player Shelbie Scamihorn. Western Kentucky answered back in the second inning with a Brooke Hol-
loway single up the middle that drove in two runs. After a sacrifice fly, the Hilltoppers took the lead at 4-3 in the third. Ball State replaced starting pitcher Jocelyn Rivera after three innings with Sammi Cowger, who would only give up one more run during the game. The Cardinals offense struggled after the first inning, recording four hits after posting five in the first. They were 0-4 the rest of the game with runners in scoring position. The winning pitcher for Western Kentucky was Janna Scheff, pitching 6.1 innings while giving up four hits and no runs. Rivera allowed three hits and four runs (two earned) in her three innings of work. With the loss, Ball State falls to 12-16 on the season. The Cardinals will return to action against Butler (14-11), their last game before Mid-American Conference play begins. The game will take place at 3 p.m. Tuesday in Indianapolis.

The Ball State softball team fell to Western Kentucky in the three-game series over the weekend. Senior outfielder Hanne Stuedemann hit her fourth home run of the season during the second game of the doubleheader on Saturday.
The Ball State men’s volleyball team dropped two road matches this weekend to Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association opponents Lindenwood and Quincy. The No. 14 Cardinals fell to 12-11 overall and 5-6 in MIVA play, placing them fifth in league standings. On Friday, Lindenwood avenged a previous 3-0 loss to Ball State on Jan. 31 by earning a sweep on its home floor. Injuries continue to plague the Cardinals, as freshman Matt Walsh, senior Shane Witmer and sophomore Alex Pia were all dealing with injuries heading into the match. Injuries also hurt Ball State offensively. The Cardinals hit .056 as a team, and no player had double-digit kills in the match—junior Marcin Niemczewski led the team with seven. Ball State hit .203 in a marathon match against Quincy on Saturday night. There were a total of 62 ties and 23 lead changes between the teams. The Cardinals had five players with double-digit kills, led by redshirt sophomore Edgardo Cartagena with 15 and sophomore Brendan Surane with 13. Freshman Mitch Weiler led the defensive charge with 18 digs. Ball State will look to get back on the winning track when it battles with Lewis on March 26.

The Marathon Oil Corporation service station was located in The Village around the 1950s. The Village has changed significantly since then.
VILLAGE:
| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Even Scott Wise, Deb’s son and owner of Scotty’s Brewhouse, remembers the Village as a destination for families and kids, long before his restaurant was a staple of the area. “As a kid we would ride our bikes to Ball State into the Village, and they had an arcade,” he said. “We would go to a hot dog and root beer stand called Kazoos that had been there for forever. It went through a period like that.” But the period that Scott Wise experienced as a kid had to end.
The Downturn
The transition from a bustling, community-based retail space to the college-centered area as now seen in the Village came after the “mom and pop” stores took a turn for the worst in the late 70s and early 80s. One of the first dominos leading to this collapse was the change in the residential market from families to student rentals. Tyler said the shift began when families, professors and Ball Memorial doctors and physicians began to migrate away from the “Riverside-Normal City” neighborhood, located between the Village and the White River. This migration would lead to a decline in retail interest in the Village and the deterioration of area homes. The shift came, said Tyler, after a lawsuit between the City of Muncie and the Apartment Owners Association. Tyler said the suit was settled in civil court, and the city of Muncie agreed that they could not regulate how many unrelated people lived in a residence. This disagreement shifted the way that
landlords and business owners viewed the Village and surrounding areas. With the city encouraging more multiple-family dwellings to promote density in the area, student rentals became more popular. Even according to the most recent Muncie comprehensive zoning ordinance, the goals of the areas along the south ends of Calvert, Martin and Dicks Street are to encourage redevelopment of older residential properties for higher density to bring more business into the Village. “When that happened, that completely began to transform that area out there,” Tyler said. “As the absentee landlords began to take over properties, it began to deteriorate rather rapidly. ... It’s nothing against the college students, but it completely changed that area out there.” Following this shift in the residential area came the development of competing commercial areas, like the Muncie Mall and Downtown Muncie. Scott Wise saw many business come and go from the Village as the mall and McGalliard area started to boom around 10 years ago. “We in the Village kind of got pissed off because everybody started leaving the Village again, except for the students,” he said. “[Buffalo Wild Wings] and La Bomba used to be in the Village. But BW3s, like a lot of [businesses], they want to be out on McGalliard. They want to be out by the mall. It’s sad to see because I love the Village. I think it should be a great place for students and community both.”
The College Revival
Though students are now seeing popular bars and shops that once thrived closing along University Avenue, some local community members see this as a chance to regain the once-lost sense of
community in the Village. Tyler sees this new development as a way to make up for a long period of despair in the Village. “At one time, the block where the Promenade is now... there was a significant amount of life in there. … And then somehow an individual was able to capture that, purchase it and some other properties in there,” he said. “I don’t know what his grandiose idea was, but he actually sat there and did nothing with them. And they just began to deteriorate.” Once the land was reacquired, Tyler said it was only a matter of time before “the right people wanted to sit down and talk about how we can develop that and turn it into something that would become livable again.” Tyler thinks that in the next two to three years the $60 million used to create the new Village development could easily turn into $200 million worth of investment, payroll and other developments. “That’s what we’re trying to do,” he said. “Increase our property tax base, increase our property values, bring more jobs into our community. All of that that we do helps our small businesses here to grow, and want to stay here.” Todd Donati, executive director of Muncie Redevelopment, has already seen the impact of the Village developments economically. “During construction, we saw as many as 500-plus jobs for nearly a year, and these workers spent money in the Village while active,” Donati said. “As for retail jobs, we feel that we added another 100-plus jobs. This increased the usage of the Village from everyone in the community, as well as the over-500 that are in the Village daily through the apartments.”

Former Dean of University Libraries Arthur Hafner has resigned after 12 years in his position. Hafner has transformed Bracken Library into the resource that it is today.
In addition to summaries of annual performance, the libraries’ website also has a dashboard that displays current statistics on library performance. The statistics include the number of room reservations, number of computers in use, gate count and Facebook likes. In addition to publishing numbers, Hafner set out to grow numbers for library accessibility and staff. Prior to the new initiatives, there were about 800,000 library visits each year, compared to 1,700,000 last year, according to the University Libraries’ 10Year Report. The University Libraries’ 10Year Report discussed history of the library, transformative
years and future goals. The report was authored by Straw and Hafner. “[My] early conversations with students and faculty revealed a gap between the Libraries’ programs and the students needs and expectations. Some of these expectations included convenient access to librarians, a comfortable and friendly atmosphere, increased access to print and digital collections, new technology and software, and space for [learning],” said Hafner in the report. The search for the next dean will be conducted by Vice President of Information Technology Philip Repp, said Straw. Repp could not be reached for comment.
Scott Wise sees the addition of the Promenade and business like Brother’s as a gain as well, even with the added competition. “I think the Village looks great,” he said. “To bring in all the students to live in that area obviously brings in more people outside my front door, so why would I be mad about it?” He also shuns the notion and rumors that Brother’s is responsible for the closing of other local bars. “If there is a problem with competition, all you have to do is be better,” he said. “If Brother’s is taking my business, or anybody for that matter, it means I’m not managing my business well enough. ... If you couldn’t make it before, then there was some other reason for that.” Residential properties in the area also feel the competition from this upward-swing in the Village. “They have really made landlords in some of the homes step up their game,” Deb Wise said on the Promenade renting to students. Students, especially those living in the Promenade, have seen the drastic change firsthand. Though it means the closing of those local businesses, students also realize the importance of a thriving Village. “You go to any big division school and they always have a ‘Village-type’ area that students and visitors can go and have a great time,” said PJ Ford, a Ball State student and Promenade resident. “Our Village has lacked that in the past years I have been here, so seeing the change is great and really positive for the BSU community. We deserve it.” But just as it has always been for the past 50 years with the Village, this shift, like so many others, won’t be easy. “Change is ... not always welcomed with open arms,” Deb Wise said.
WOMEN:
| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 One of the week’s intentions is to honor women without categorizing them by noting titles and accomplishment rather than identity. A typical women’s week might have a seminar on women of color or women in LGBT community, which may separate women, said Bingham. “I wanted women to say, ‘I’m really interested in this’ and there would be an event for it. There’s women in poverty, women in publishing, women in poetry,” said Bingham. Some other events include a Women in Poverty panel, a Women in Disabilities panel, an Intimate Partner Violence workshop and a Fat Positivity workshop. Monday’s events kick off the week with a Women in Art seminar featuring Carol Rossetti, a feminist artist that uses drawing with narratives to empower women. A rendition of the wellknown play “Vagina Monologues,” written by Eve Ensler, will also take place Saturday as a wrap-up for the week. The play is sponsored by Feminists for Action, who started planning for the play in the fall, said Alex Kincaid, Feminists for Action member. “[Ensler] went around doing what she calls ‘vagina interviews,’ where she interviewed hundreds of women from all walks of life, different ages, cultures, things like that to get their experience growing up as a woman in the world,” said Nicole Mansfield, a senior psychology major and director of the play. Mansfield has performed in Vagina Monologues for the past two years, and this is her first year directing the

DEBATE: | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “I wanted to make the connection at Ball State,” Pham said. “What does it mean when the person that represents who Ball State has best to offer owns a Confederate flag and defends it?” One of the people who shared the post was D’Marcus Pulce, a senior telecommunications major. Pulce said after the original Daily News article was published in September 2013, the racially charged meaning for the flag, the representation of oppression and the fight for slavery during the American Civil War, was ignored. “A lot of us are talking with each other, because we are afraid if we don’t do anything about this it sets a bad precedent,” Pulce said. Soon, more students began to share posts, condemning the racial insensitivity and Ball State’s award to Anagnos. Pulce said supporters of Anagnos used “Woman Crush Wednesday” (#WCW) to high-
light her good deeds. Pulce and other minority leaders used “Throwback Thursday” (#TBT) to press the issue and continue the conversation about racial sensitivity at Ball State. Pulce created a photo with Shafer Bell Tower and a Confederate flag in the background and shared it on Instagram and Twitter with several hashtags, including #OurBallState, #ConfederacyRedefined and #ChloeDoesntRepresentMe. “It’s a catalyst for discussion,” Pulce said. “This is so far past Chloe. It’s about what her award says for the larger picture of racial insensitivity at Ball State.” Not all minority leaders on campus feel this social media movement is inspiring change. Ethnic Theatre Alliance President Nathaniel Thomas said social media is only serving to divide students on the issue of racial sensitivity at Ball State. “There are memes and hashtags, but people are not having a conversation about moving forward,” Thomas said. Thomas, a junior theater
« The conversation has to turn to progress. How
do we put into action what we are talking about? And how do we turn our back on someone who has evolved? » NATHANIEL THOMAS, Ethnic Theatre Alliance President major, said Pulce and several others contacted him to figure out how to unite minority students to have a conversation on campus. As the group was meeting in Bracken Library, Anagnos happened to come upon them. She sat down and had a conversation with Thomas about her flag. “[Anagnos] graciously sat down with us, and we had our conversation,” Thomas said. “It was what I would consider a deep conversation. I asked her what she believed in, where did this come from, etc. And in shorthand, she told me, ‘I don’t believe in those statements I made two years ago. And I don’t believe in what that represents.’” Anagnos said she got rid of the flag after peers and friends spoke to her in wake of the original article.
“In the past two years, I have grown as a woman and as a member of the Ball State community,” Anagnos said in her statement. “I will always appreciate these acts of love — they helped me to understand the world around me beyond just what I have experienced in my life.” Thomas said the conversation on social media needs to turn away from anger and toward having a conducive conversation on campus. “The conversation has to turn to progress,” Thomas said. “How do we put into action what we are talking about? And how do we turn our back on someone who has evolved?” Some critics of Anagnos feel social media is their only platform for speaking out. Pham said, because of Anagnos’ connections on campus, there
isn’t an outlet left on which to speak out. “We don’t have SGA to speak for us, we don’t have BSA [Black Student Association] to speak for us,” Pham said. “We don’t have a whole slew of greek branches to speak for us. We also don’t have the school Board of Trustees to speak for us either. Social media is our only place to have this conversation.” Charlene Alexander, associate provost for diversity and director of the Office of Institutional Diversity, said plans are being made to facilitate a conversation on campus. “I think it is a good time for us to have a conversation about issues of race,” Alexander said. “The university, my office — we’re always willing and ready to talk with students. This is an opportunity for students to listen to each other and learn from each other. These are teaching moments for our students, especially when we have these critical opportunities for crucial dialogue.” Thomas said, especially in Indiana, these conversations have to happen. He said, for
many students, especially from small towns, this is the first time they have had to interact with minority students, and micro-aggressions often go unnoticed. Interim Associate Vice President for Marketing and Communications Joan Todd said in an email that the university is not considering taking away Anagnos’ award. Pham said that wasn’t the goal of the social media movement. “I think that, outside of the award, we cannot take any of her service or her philanthropy away from her,” Pham said. “What we wanted was just for her and the school to engage and confront this in a conversation.” Since the social media movement has picked up steam, Anagnos has deactivated her Facebook page, choosing to remain silent. Thomas points to Anagnos as an example of someone learning from her “past ignorance.” “If she’s given an opportunity and talks, she shouldn’t be judged,” Thomas said. “We need to hear how a person’s views have been challenged and how they have evolved.”

‘Women’ illustrator to talk at Ball State Feminist artist uses art to speak about social justice issues KANYINSOLA AJAYI STAFF REPORTER | kiajayi@bsu.edu An illustrator known for her work on women empowerment and social justice issues is coming to Ball State as a part of Women’s Week and Women’s History Month. Illustrator Carol Rossetti’s “Women” series went viral last year after she started posting her work on Facebook. Rossetti will speak at an event titled “Women: Body-Positive Art to Inspire and Empower.” Rossetti’s art often features a woman within a circular frame, surrounded by text that encourages her to embrace some part of herself. “Larissa heard a thousand times she’s not a ‘real wom-
an,’” says one of her pieces. “But that’s exactly what you are, OK, Larissa? You are the only authority of your body and your identity.” The women in Rossetti’s illustrations come from diverse backgrounds including different ages, ethnicities and religions. Ro-Anne Royer Engle, director of the Multicultural Center, said Rossetti’s work is a unique way to address social justice issues and women empowerment. “Bringing her is important because students can see how diversity and multiculturalism can play a role in whatever career they are in,” said Engle. The Multicultural Center is trying to use different methods to talk about diversity and multiculturalism, Engle said. She said she hopes this event appeals to students who would not normally attend a diversity or multicultural program during Women’s History Month. Brooke Sturgell, a senior visu-

Sturgell said she is looking forward to learning more about using art to address social justice issues and “making good use of art to reach a new audience.” Engle hopes to get some of Rossetti’s art for the Multicultural Center. “So many of them represent what we do and will be great artistic display for the center,” Engle said.
