Campus groups highlight women’s issues Education needed even amid success, student leader says

KARA BERG STAFF REPORTER knberg2@bsu.edu
This week several university groups will work together to bring attention to women’s issues on campus. As part of National Women’s Month, Ball State is celebrating Women’s Week with activities including a Women with Disabilities panel, a coming out as a feminist event and two performances of the “Vagina Monologues.” Women’s History Month has been celebrated since 1981, when Congress designated the week of March 7 as Women’s History week, though Ball State celebrates women’s history during the last week of March. The women’s and gender studies program plans the event each year to celebrate the achievements and experiences of women. Feminists for Action president Aly Austin said the group is hosting the “Vagina Monologues” because it offers different perspectives on what it means to be female. “Everything in the ‘Vagina Monologues’ touches on

things like sex, love, rape, genital mutilation, orgasm, birth, things like that,” Austin said. “Some stuff is like in the news and stuff, people talk about it, but then some things you wouldn’t think about.” The show will play at 7 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday in the Student Center Ballroom. She said it is important to talk about and showcase the whole spectrum of issues women deal with and just the fact that there is a Women’s Week proves that issues still need to be addressed. “People think that women’s rights are guaranteed already, and they’re not,” Austin said. “It’s awesome to dedicate a whole week to different topics about feminism and woman’s rights in different cultures.” Austin said she thinks there are still a lot of things in society that need to be worked on before women and men can truly be considered equal.
The median earnings for a woman working full-time was 77 percent that of what a man made working full-time for the same position, according to the 2012 census. “Obviously the fact that women generally only make 75 percent of what a man makes at the same job [needs to be worked on], but then there are still things that happen like sexual assault and rape,” she said.
One out of six American women have been a victim of rape or attempted rape, according to rain.org, culminating in an average of 237,868 sexual assault victims each year. College age women are four times more likely than any other age group to be sexually assaulted. She said women often think that just because people have the right to vote there is nothing more to fight. “It doesn’t mean there aren’t still things that need to be improved,” she said. Austin said one prime candidate for change is the worldwide phenomenon of female genital mutilation. In 29 countries, more than 125 million women alive today have had their genitals mutilated or cut, according to unicef.org. The practice can lead to disease and TO

death, as well as the psychological effects associated with forced mutilation, according to the United Nations Children’s Fund. Austin said because of atrocities like this, it is important to educate others about why feminism and

POLICY: New rules included in next year’s handbooks The university already has policies for reporting certain types of misconduct including discrimination, sexual harassment, conflict of interest and protecting human subjects used in research. Other violations can be reported to the office of University Compliance. Over the summer, Ball State Dining faced allegations of racial discrimination by Maetta Vance, a former Ball State catering employee who said she was harassed by a supervisor and that Ball State should be held liable. Even though Ball State eventually won the case in a 5-4 U.S. Supreme Court vote, the whistleblower policies offered Vance a way to express her grievances. Falling said even though the provisions are already in place to encourage reporting, it is important the university makes this statement separately. “Our diversity community asked that we pay special attention to messages about retaliation to make sure people know absolutely we want you to talk to us if you are concerned,” she said. The new policy will be included in the employee handbook,

A Step in the Right Direction, led by five Ball State students, raised $145 and 140 food items Saturday for A Better Way, a charity that works with abused women during A Walk for Sexual Assault Awareness. The event Saturday featured informative booths for both local and university groups including Elemental and the Excellence in Leadership series. Organization leaders were on hand to offer information to interested participants about ways they can help the Muncie community. Jacob Irven, A Step in the Right Direction leader, said it is important for college students to know how prevalent and serious sexual assault is. “[Sexual assault] is both physically, mentally and spiritually degrading,” he said. “It is a big problem on college campuses.” Sarah Horn, a junior manufacturing engineering major, said this was the first sexual assault awareness event she attended and that Saturday’s event gave her resources she could use in the future. “There are people here to help you if you need help — there are places to go,” she said AJ Brammer contributed to this story. – CHRISTOPHER STEPHENS

Falling said the university depends on members of the community to watch out for each other and come forward. “How it works in everyday life is the difference as to whether or not people will come forward,” she said.

he wintery air didn’t stop a crowd from converging downtown for Muncie Gras 2014. Clad in bikini tops, winter coats and everything in between, both Ball State students and local Muncie townies brought their best New Orleans spirit to Walnut Street. Acrobats, musicians and amateur and professional exotic dancers lined the streets and filled venues. Patient merry-makers waited in line for bars while others tried their luck with a mechanical bull, human bowling, go-go cage, Euro Bungee and zip-line. “Last year was our first year,” said Cheers bartender Leigha Ayres. “We feel more prepared since we know what we’re getting into.”
The local watering hole began prepping for their 40-foot booth weeks ahead of time. The Cheers team began working at five in the morning, loading and setting up gear for the event. The bar expected more than 1,000 people to come through, and stocked around 60 cases of beer and 60 cases of miscellaneous liquor in addition to their pre-made drink mixes. “We’ve got like 50 people,” Ayres said. “We’re a big family.” Ayres said Cheers was the first bar at Muncie Gras to serve “Jolly Ranchers,” a mix of Hawaiian Punch, watermelon pucker and sprite.
Cirilla’s Adult Store operated a booth with an erotic banana eating contest and a meet-and-greet with adult film star Dani Daniels. After Dark, an adult novelty store, partnered with Star 106.9 to bring dance and strip shows to their stage, featuring both male and female performers. Both groups of dancers made the audience part of the show, performing lap dances, pantomiming sex and soliciting tips. Through all the exotic dress and packed crowds, it’s still difficult to miss Gearl Stephens and his tall silver sousaphone. Stephens plays for the Pork
& Beans Brass Band, which proclaims to bring “that funky NOLA sound to Indy.” Last year, Stephens, a former Ball State student, approached downtown Muncie with the hopes of playing at Muncie Gras. The band returned again this year and performed an hour set on the Budweiser stage as the gates opened. Afterward, the band made their show mobile, walking through the crowd and playing their music. “It’s a lot of fun being able to mix around, dance with folks and have a good time,” Stephens said. While an overwhelming majority of partygoers may celebrate with alcohol, that route isn’t for everyone at Muncie Gras. “This is the one-year anniversary of when I quit drinking” said Weston Morgan. “Now I’m just going around eating pig sandwiches.” Morgan plays bass guitar for the band Apathy Wizards, which performed both this and last year. The Muncie Gras 2013 gig changed Morgan’s relationship with alcohol. After playing last year, he said he drank far too much, which got him in trouble with the police, ending in his arrest. Now he enjoys the festival’s food as an alternative. “I’m a sucker for fried pig, dude,” he said.
Crowd of hundreds doesn’t mean profit for business owners ALAN HOVORKA CHIEF REPORTER | afhovorka@bsu.edu Although several hundred people funneled onto Walnut Street during Saturday night for a New Orleans-style party, it didn’t necessarily mean an abundance of new customers for the businesses on the street. As people took part in the plentiful booze and music or watched the drag and male revues, some local business owners had to find a different way to make a profit. Around 15 business had booths set up for attendees to browse. Brandon Mundell, owner of Toys Forever Models & Hobbies, manned a booth outside his shop selling beads to passersby. Mundell said Muncie Gras doesn’t really have a major impact on his business. “It [Muncie Gras] doesn’t help or hurt us — it’s just a good party,” he said. “It’s not a big deal for us because people don’t usually come here [to the booth] and say, ‘I’m going to go to the hobby shop.’” However, he did say people have come into his shop because they saw his booth at Muncie Gras. Mundell also said he sets up his booth because he owns his business’ building and would have to be there to watch it during the high-energy event.
“We just want to make sure none of the windows, or anything, get broken,” he said. Mundell’s fear of broken property has nothing to do with the event itself, just the several hundred people, he said. “And since we are here, we decided to participate because it’s tradition and [to] also have a private party upstairs,” he said. “I mean we are here anyway — why not try to have a little fun?” The 13-year-old event certainly has many traditions, ranging from the mechanical bull to the drag show, which also brought another local business owner down to Walnut street. Tony Goodwin, an employee of Goodwin Family Products, said he just couldn’t stay away from the massive event, even if it doesn’t affect his business directly. “It’s not really important to us because, at the end of the night and throughout the year, we’re still the same business,” he said. But to Goodwin, there is still reason to come to the event. “We come out here to serve food because it’s just a good show and tradition and that’s why people come,” he said. James Garrett, an employee of Liberty Tax Service, passed out beads and offered a different view on Muncie Gras’ impact on business owners. “It lets people blow off some steam, have a night free and let loose and possibly makes people more likely to come check out our business,” Garrett said.

The dumb-founded stares upperclassmen musical theatre majors get for their often impromptu performances and rehearsals across campus hardly matter anymore. They’ve grown accustomed to them. Besides, freshman musical theatre major Amanda Boldt thinks they have a reason to sing. “We get to wake up and do what we love everyday. We get to perform and tell stories and appeal to the human spirit,� she said. Despite their energy and highflying passion, Boldt cautions against outward appearances. “I‘m not sure people realize how physically demanding, academically demanding and emotional demanding being a musical theatre major is,� Boldt said. “It’s not all fun and games. We work extremely hard.� Freshman musical theatre major Rylee Domann was an understudy in “Major Barbara,� a three-act play performed at University Theatre in February.

‘We... do what we love everyday’ Musical theatre students discuss schedule, misconceptions, passion behind major hours a night. On Sundays, the group had double rehearsals, going from 1 p.m. to 11 p.m., stopping only for a dinner break. “It’s important not to waste time,� Domann said. Domann balances her time between class, productions and her sorority. She doesn’t think she falls into the typical musical theatre student mold, though. “Theatre people see the world in a different way. They’re very intuitive,� Domann said. The students are aware of the stereotypes the community has of them. “Not all the stereotypes are wrong though,� sophomore musical theatre major Sam Wisenden said. Wisenden admitted the group of students is appropriately known for being loud. “We’re not just crazy obnoxious weirdos who sing and dance in the middle of Woodworth,� said Boldt. Wisenden also said that males in the program are sometimes incorrectly assumed to be gay.

and making sure the vocals are crisp,� Boldt said. “The people on stage are working on blocking, and we are focusing on the singing as the show is about ready to go up.� As a freshman, Boldt focuses on introductory courses, just like any other major, but she has a lot to look forward to as she gets more involved with studio classes and other acting opportunities. “This program is good in particular with bringing in new people and innovative ideas, and new ways to learn and grow,� Boldt said.
Boldt says the program is tailored to every individual performer. Wisenden says the directors of each show cast educationally, choosing roles for each student that will enhance individual and cast growth. Wisenden played one of only four roles in the play “The 39 Steps.� Students in the musical theatre program are selected through an intense audition process. The audition is a snapshot of their future in the arts. “On an emotional level, it takes a certain kind of person to deal with rejection and still come back to it,� Boldt said. Domann said she worries about finding a job someday, due to the subjective nature of auditions. “You might not get the job because you look like the director’s ex-wife,� she said. “That’s just the reality.� However, Domann remains hopeful. She knows being a performer could require side jobs to pay the bills. Her future plans are broad after graduation, ranging from national tours, to cruise ships, to a higher degree to study the business of theatre. “I’ve always wanted an adventurous lifestyle,� she said.

We had to wait another year to get another chance at them, and it was nice for the guys to get off to a nice start.” Ball State opened its MAC schedule with a three-game sweep of Bowling Green, giving the team a perfect start in league play. Maloney said one player who was motivated by the tournament loss to Bowling Green was sophomore Ryan Spaulding. In three games over the weekend, the second baseman racked up five hits to go along with an RBI and five runs scored. It wasn’t just Spaulding who contributed. In the series opener

Ball State fell one game short of a Mid-American Conference Championship last season, losing to Bowling Green 0-7 in the final MAC game. Head coach Rich Maloney said that loss served as motivation in this weekend’s three-game series. “It meant something to these guys,” Maloney said. “We felt
— a 9-5 victory for the Cardinals — every starter picked up at least one hit and seven of the nine starters scored a run. Six different Cardinals grabbed a hit in game two and ten different players either scored a run, earned a walk or punched a base hit in the series finale. “That’s what a team is,” Maloney said of his players’ collective performance over the weekend. “A team is a bunch of different guys who work together toward a common goal. We are playing as a team.” Ball State also saw its pitching staff work more efficiently in this series. The starting pitching staff, one of Ball State’s most valuable
assets, has struggled at times this season. Individuals in the Cardinals’ rotation have shown potential, but a consistent game-in, game-out option has been desired. During the team’s current six-game win streak, though, the Cardinals’ staff as a whole allowed 2.5 runs a game. This improvement from the pitching staff is a welcome sight for head coach Rich Maloney, as the previous six games showed a team allowing 12.8 runs per game. The Cardinals lost five of the six, and quickly found themselves sitting only two games over .500 at 10-8. Now, following the sweep of Bowling Green, Ball State sits at 16-8 in the MAC.

Sgt. Kent Kurtz and head coach Pete Lembo lead the team out of the tunnel to start the game against Kent State University on Oct. 12 at Scheumann Stadium. Lembo’s contract was extended to February 2019.
LEMBO: Contract extension guarantees football coach added time at Ball State

“The more we can show the university and the community are partnering to move the community forward, the better off we’ll be,” he said. “Pete gets that.” Tyler said Ball State stands to gain increased support as well. Average home attendance has increased in each of Ball State’s last three seasons. In 2011, Lembo’s first year as head coach, home crowds averaged 10,032. Last season’s average was 13,817. Ball State is also one of just four teams in the country to improve its record over the last three seasons. Lembo is 25-13 in three seasons at Ball State. The Cardinals have been bowl eligible each season with Lembo and earned a berth in the Beef ‘O’ Brady’s Bowl for the 2012-13 season and the GoDaddy Bowl for the 2013-14 season after a 10-2 regular season. At Ball State, Lembo took over a team that saw a 4-8 prior season. To start off his inaugural season, he coached the Cardi-

During which he coached record-breaking quarterback Keith Wenning, wide receiver Willie Snead and defensive end Jonathan Newsome. “We all know how quarterback-driven football has become,” Ball State athletic director Bill Scholl said. “To have the same head coach who’s recruited these quarterbacks and to help us get through this transition I think is really important to our student-athletes.” Following Ball State’s 10-2 campaign in the 2013-14 season, Wake Forest’s Ron Wellman flew into Muncie, causing speculation that he was speaking to Lembo. However, former Bowling Green coach Dave Clawson accepted the job at Wake Forest. Around the same time, Lembo was in Georgia and rumored to be speaking with Connecticut athletic director Warde Manuel, but it was not confirmed. Bob Diaco ended up accepting the

Ball State hires Lembo as head coach of the Cardinals. He leads the team to 6-6 record in his first season.
position at the university. Lembo’s contract extension includes a clause that would require him to pay if he opts out before the conclusion of the 2018 season. If another school hires Lembo prior to the final game of the 2014 football season his buyout would cost $475,000. The cost goes down with each year following 2014. “I hope he’s with us for a long, long time,” Scholl said. No matter how long Lembo remains with the team, Tyler will enjoy working with the coach he calls enthusiastic and easy to work with. “As the head coach, [Lembo] has really tried to focus his team and staff on being involved in the community,” Tyler said. “I sense the community senses that too.” Assistant football coach Joey Lynch was given the title of offensive coordinator, and his salary was increased from $78,000 to $118,500, effective at the start of 2014. The contract will last through March 31. The university also extended the contract for Scholl through April 30, 2016.
He coaches Ball State to a road win against Virginia, referring to it as “the biggest win in the history of Ball State football.” Dec. 21, 2012
