PODNAR CHIEF REPORTER | RACHEL rmpodnar@bsu.edu

A new online education program looks to equip all incoming students with information on partying smart, sexual violence and relationships.

Starting in the fall, all incoming students — freshmen, transfers and graduate — will participate in an online harm-reduction program called “Think About It,” created by the company Campus Clarity.

“Providing [students] with this kind of info before stepping foot on campus will be something some students will appreciate,” said June Payne, director of Counseling and Health Services.

Through the program, students will participate in scenarios, watch videos and click on links to learn about alcohol risks and sexual offense.

“Think About It” will not replace already existing education efforts within the university, like BASICS online alcohol screening tool and AlcoholEDU for students with sanctions.

Gibson said this program will connect students to resources on campus. The program will be tailored to Ball State with the university’s policies and available resources included.

“It may be a way for us to interact with students who may want or need assistance in terms of resources but may not have worked up nerves to seek it out on their own,” he said.

Natalie Roman, a junior telecommunications major, said it can be hard to reach freshmen on the issue of alcohol, even with scare tactics.

“Just letting people know where to go for information doesn’t help the problem at first,” Roman said. “People aren’t going to learn the consequences of alcohol without experiencing the consequences, sometimes.”

Max Butler, a freshman telecommunications major, said teaching students how to party smart if they choose to party is a good idea.

“How I was raised, I was aware of alcohol issues, but I can see how it would be helpful for others,” he said. “I don’t think people will take the time, but it is recommended.”

fter the departure of Keith Wenning, one of Ball State football’s most prolific quarterbacks, there are four others ready to make their mark in the upcoming season.

In order to do that, one will have to beat out the other three in practice.

“We’re not going to be Keith, obviously,” Jack Milas, a Ball State quarterback, said.

REPORTS DETAIL KILLING OF BOMBING SUSPECT’S FRIEND

TODAY 3. VENEZUELAN LEADER ACCUSES GENERALS CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has added three generals to the growing list of people and entities he accuses of plotting against him.

Maduro announced Tuesday that his socialist administration had brought three air force generals before a military tribunal on charges of plotting a coup amid the anti-government protests wracking the country.

He said the generals, whose names he

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Fearing imminent arrest in a triple slaying in 2013, Ibragim Todashev started acting suspiciously. His behavior, once cooperative with investigators, became agitated. His eyes darted around his small apartment in Florida, as if he were looking for a weapon or a way out.

The FBI agent shot Todashev several times, killing him last May, according to two reports released Tuesday.

As Todashev wrote a statement about his role in the 2011 killings in Waltham, Mass.

— slayings that received renewed attention after the Boston Marathon bombing — a state trooper sent an ominous text message: “Be on guard. He is in vulnerable position to do something bad. Be on guard now.”

Moments later, Todashev, a friend of one of the Boston marathon bombing suspects, knocked down an FBI agent in the room and caused a gash on his head.

Todashev’s father accused the FBI of a cover up.

did not release, were working with the opposition and their attempt failed because younger officers became alarmed.

The announcement came during a meeting of South American foreign ministers aimed at easing the conflict between the government and its increasingly strident opponents.

Since taking office last year, Maduro has routinely accused opponents of plotting a coup like the one that briefly ousted his predecessor, Hugo Chavez.

4. OIL SPILL AFFECTED HALF A MILE OF SHORE

WHITING, Ind. (AP) — Crews for oil giant BP are working to clean up an undetermined amount of crude oil that spilled into Lake Michigan and affected a half-mile-long section of northwestern Indiana shoreline.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said the spill reported Monday afternoon at BP’s Whiting, Ind., refinery appears to have been contained.

EPA regional on-scene coordinator Mike Beslow said Tuesday afternoon

that BP crews have surrounded the oil with absorbent booms and are using vacuum trucks to suck up the corralled oil.

He said BP crews are also cleaning up oil along about 2,700 feet of private shoreline at the Whiting complex some 20 miles southeast of downtown Chicago.

Beslow says the Coast Guard is working with BP to determine how much crude was discharged into the lake.

2. UKRAINIAN TROOPS LEAVE CRIMEA ON BUSES

5. POLICE: EX-CON ROBS SAME SHOE STORE

FEODOSIA, Crimea (AP) — As former comrades saluted them from outside a base overrun by Russian forces, Ukrainian marines in Crimea piled into buses Tuesday to head back to the mainland.

It was a low-key exit from this eastern Black Sea port, with fewer than a dozen friends and relatives on hand to bid the marines farewell. A troop transporter bearing black Russian military plates trailed the bus as it pulled away.

TOMS RIVER, N.J. (AP) — Police say a man who just completed a 15year prison term for robbing a New Jersey shoe store went back there the day after his release and committed the same crime.

Toms River police said on Saturday afternoon, 40-year-old Christopher Miller went to the store he robbed in 1999. They said he demanded cash from two employees, eventually took a cash register containing $389

Their departure came as Ukraine’s defense minister stepped down after harsh criticism for authorities’ oftenhesitant reaction to Russia’s annexation of Crimea, which was formalized following a hastily organized referendum this month. And while Ukraine struggled to deal with its humbling by Russia, it also faced the menace of seething Ukrainian nationalists angered by the police killing of a leading radical.

and fled on foot with the employees’ cellphones.

Police soon tracked down Miller and found the employees’ phones in a shopping center garbage can. They found the money in a downspout in the back of the building.

Miller, who formerly lived in Tulsa, Okla., is being held on $100,000 bail. Authorities didn’t know if he has lawyer or if he would be represented by public defender.

“Remember the Name” by Fort Minor featuring Styles of Beyond

This rap-rock song by Linkin Park member Mike Shinoda’s side project is sure to get you started on the right foot. The lyrics are motivation in itself: “5 percent pleasure, 50 percent pain and 100 percent reason to remember the name.”

“Lose Yourself” by Eminem

A popular track from the “8 Mile” soundtrack is always a great motivator. As soon as Eminem starts rapping, “His palms are sweaty, knees weak and arms are heavy,” you’re already captivated.

“Radioactive (Remix)” by Imagine Dragons featuring Kendrick Lamar

“Radioactive” was considered a smash hit of the summer. The remix featuring hip-hop artist Kendrick Lamar is more intense and filled with emotion.

Robert E. Marsh Horn Ensemble, Trombone Choir and Trumpet Ensemble

“Wild for the Night” by A$AP Rocky featuring Skrillex

A mix between a rapper and a popular dubstep artist is sure to make for an interesting combination. It works out well with these two and is a great pump-up track.

“The Man” by Aloe Blacc

“Rip Your Heart Out” by Hopsin featuring Tech N9Ne

“Eye of the Tiger” by Survivor

“Till I Collapse” by Eminem featuring Nate Dogg

This is another great Eminem track that will be perfect for a workout mix. With Nate Dogg, it’s motivation at its finest.

“In The End” by Linkin Park

Arguably Linkin Park’s most popular track, it is a great song to get fired up and ready to pump some iron.

“All I Do Is Win” by DJ Khaled featuring T-Pain, Ludacris, and Snoop Dogg

Want a song that makes anyone feel like a winner? This track is guaranteed to make you want to keep going.

Celebratory dances boost team’s morale Sideline performances energize Worthen Arena during deciding moments

|

DAVID POLASKI ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR @DavidPolaski

Even during the heat of a high stakes match, Ball State men’s volleyball players find ways to keep tensions low.

When Ball State reaches 24 points in a set, the fans will stand up, “We Like to Party” by Vengaboys starts playing and the bench players start dancing.

The dance involves players extending both of their arms out then moving one up and one down, going back and forth. Fans at Worthen Arena often join.

“When we’re doing well and we look over and see those guys celebrating and having a good time, it picks everybody up,” Kevin Owens, a senior middle attacker, said. “It’s great for both the guys on the bench and on the court.”

The tradition began four years ago when Owens was a freshman. With the match at set point, he and a few other players began dancing for amusement.

The celebration caught on.

“The dancing, the PA [system], the sound effects: they’re all part of an overall package,” head coach Joel Walton said. “It lends to a unique environment in how we present our matches.”

After junior middle attacker Julian Welsh-White had shoulder surgery, his right arm was in a sling, and he couldn’t fully execute the dance. But senior outside attacker Larry Wrather was willing to help.

Wrather stood behind Welsh-White and extended his right arm in front of him, and they did the dance together.

“It’s good for our team to be having fun during the match,” Owens said. “It helps keep us loose.”

Depending on what happens during a match, Ball State has different sideline performances.

After an opponent’s service error, one player will pretend to be a bull, and another will be a matador.

Earlier in the season when Ball State

served an ace, two players would sprint across the floor and slide on their chests, but they did away with the move.

It was replaced recently with a new celebration. Now, players form a football goal post. Sophomore outside attacker Jack Lesure kicks the imaginary football and his teammates throw their arms up as if the field goal is good.

Against Ohio State, his teammates pretended he missed the field goal, setting off laughter among the bench.

“There aren’t many volleyball programs that present a match this way,” Walton said.

“The little bits of music and sound effects give Worthen Arena energy.”

Walton is clear with his team that he doesn’t want the celebrations to mock the opponents and to make sure they stay clean. With those rules in mind, the players have the freedom to invent what they’d like.

But at set point, fans shouldn’t expect fans to see Walton dancing anytime soon.

“I’ll leave that for my players,” he said, laughing.

| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 The four quarterbacks, Kyle Kamman, Ozzie Mann, David Morrison and Milas, have worked extensively with offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Joey Lynch, who took over for Rich Skrosky. In December, Skrosky was named head coach at Elon University.

Lynch uses different terminology than his predecessor, a relief for Milas. “[Lynch] uses a lot of terms that I think we understand a lot better,” he said. “Coach Skrosky had Keith and they

DN GRAPHIC KELLY HOPKINS

knew each other for a while, but now the terminology Joey uses is so much simpler. ... It’s good because it’s like we’re going back to the basics.”

The five have worked together to come up with phrases that are easy to remember and to know what each of them mean.

The four quarterbacks learn differently, and Lynch said he uses varying tactics to help them improve. There’s a learning curve as Lynch installs his offense, so he’s always looking to make the transition smoother.

There is little experience at the collegiate level for any of Ball State’s potential quarter-

backs. Kamman has thrown just one pass in his two seasons, and Mann threw nine passes last season, which was his first. Both Milas, who redshirted last season, and early enrollee Morrison have yet to take the field for a game.

Head coach Pete Lembo wants each of the prospective starters to have a fair chance.

He said they’ll get equal snaps in practice while he and coordinators watch closely to see who displays the qualities they’re looking for.

“I want a consistent quarterback,” Lynch said. “We’re looking for someone that we’ll

know what to expect from on a day-to-day basis, how they bounce back from a tough day and how they handle success.”

Lynch said consistency is aided by returning starters who can take pressure off the quarterback. The Cardinals return most of its offensive line and running backs Jahwan Edwards and Horactio Banks.

Both played significant roles last season.

The pair combined to score 21 touchdowns in 2013 and could be relied upon early as the starting quarterback gets comfortable.

“We’re always going to play to

the strengths of our personnel,” Lembo said. “We’re fortunate that we have a system that allows us to be very, very flexible. ... We aren’t going to ask guys to do what they can’t do.”

Both Lembo and Milas said although everyone will get a good look at the quarterbacks over the next few weeks, the winner of the competition may not come out of spring practice, and the competition could extend into the summer and fall.

With four players vying for one of the most important positions, tensions could rise, but Lynch doesn’t see that being an issue.

“The sense of urgency was

University meeting upholds LETTER: Date for meeting not determined $400 fine for new SGA slate | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Conflicts of interest move vote on appeal to other committee PODNAR CHIEF REPORTER | RACHEL rnpodnar@bsu.edu

Next academic year’s Student Government Association executive board will have to pay the $400 maximum fine for campaigning during voting after its appeal was denied.

A Student Rights and Community Standards hearing Monday night voted unanimously on the issue.

The slate — Nick Wilkey, Carli Hendershot, Rahissa Engle and Sidney Staples — appealed the fine after the Student Government Association election, which it won. Cardinal Connection will still take office in April.

Jennifer Jones-Hall, adviser for SGA, said the violation in

question concerned emails that Wilkey sent out using Ball State list servers on the first day of voting, Feb. 24.

The elections board met Feb. 25 to originally vote on the issue and fine, which delayed the election announcement by two hours.

The current code dictates that slates must remove all material and cannot use university computing services 24 hours before voting begins.

Wilkey said after he was elected that he was not aware the emails were against the elections code.

Traditionally, the SGA judiciary committee handles post-election appeals, but Jones-Hall said she sent the issue to Student Rights and Community Standards because all of the members of the judiciary committee were involved with one of the two slates in the election.

Wilkey said the Student Rights and Community Standards

The senators’ original letter asked for a response from Gora by Monday to answer whether the university’s decision about teaching intelligent design forbids professors from expressing their support or rejection of religious ideas if questioned by students.

Although a date to meet has not been secured, Gora said in the letter that she welcomes the chance to discuss the situation.

“Our campus is a wonderful

have to pay this money.

But it goes back to the students, anyways. » NICK WILKEY, slate president board was made up of “respectable, unbiased” students, and that he held no grudges.

“They decided my interpretation of the elections code was a little off when I sent out the emails,” he said. “I feel like this will set precedence for [campaigning] next year.”

Wilkey said he is excited to move forward with Cardinal Connection as the executive slate for the next academic year.

“It’s unfortunate we have to pay this money,” he said. “But it goes back to the students, anyways.”
