ALAN HOVORKA CHIEF REPORTER
his year’s harsh winter conditions already have caused Muncie to spend about $16,000 more than last year on repairing potholes, most of which goes toward a temporary fix. The city spent roughly $60,000 last year on patching roads using hot and cold mixes, said Donnie Wright, supervisor for the Department of Street and Public Works. The expense was split evenly between the winter and the summer.

The city has a Twitter account, @MunciePotHoles, for people to report potholes. As of publication, it has 111 tweets and 104 followers.
Hot-mix asphalt costs $61 a ton and is used when it is warm outside, said Linda Hayes, a secretary for the department. During the winter or when the temperature is too low, the cold-mix asphalt is used as a temporary repair and costs $75 to $86 a ton. “We do the cold-mix temporary patch because the roads get so bad, we can’t just leave them open,” he said. “We just want to keep people’s vehicles from getting damaged because it’s our responsibility to take care of the roads.” See POTHOLES, page 4
Lifeline Law could cover drug overdose Bill to add immunity for callers reporting other emergencies |
RACHEL PODNAR CHIEF REPORTER rmpodnar@bsu.edu
Changes to the Indiana Lifeline Law could expand caller immunity coverage to those who report offenses including drug overdoses and sexual assault. On Feb. 26, the House passed the changes, Senate Bill 227, unanimously with an amendment. The bill will return to Senate. Under the law, those younger than 21 who call for medical assistance for someone suffering from alcohol-related emergencies can get immunity from alcohol-related offenses, such

ana State Excise officer, said he sees more alcohol related medical emergencies than drug overdoses, but this is just more protection. “Being law enforcement officers, we’ll be on board [with the changes],” he said. He said a problem with the Lifeline Law is that not enough students are aware of it and this expansion will give the law more attention. “[We find] people left by friends,” Thomas said. “Maybe they weren’t that close of friends, but we see people passed out in houses and a few times in yards. Hopefully, maybe with the changes, more information will get out and they will be less afraid of being held accountable and more in touch with getting friends the help they need.”

Men’s volleyball players crouched on the court at Worthen Arena while coaches and other personnel dotted the sidelines or sat behind the media table. The final point of a practice game came to a close, with Shane Witmer on the losing end. As Witmer walked away, he told his teammates they gave that match away. There was nobody in the stands. With the exception of essential workers, nobody sees the competition that unfolds during every Ball State men’s volleyball practice. Emotions run high during the team scrimmages.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Bipartisan Senate opposition blocked swift confirmation Wednesday for President Barack Obama’s choice to head the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, the emotional residue of the long-ago murder of a Philadelphia policeman and the legal representation his killer received. The vote against advancing Debo Adegbile toward confirmation was 47-52, short of the majority needed under new procedures Democrats put in place earlier this year to overcome Republican stalling tactics. In this case, all 44 voting Republicans and eight Democrats lined up to block confirmation, leaving the nomination in grave jeopardy. Obama swiftly condemned the vote. In a statement, he called it a “travesty based on wildly unfair character attacks against a good and qualified public servant.” The vote was a victory for the National Fraternal Order of Police, who said Adegbile’s connection with the legal case of Mumia AbuJamal disqualified him from holding office.

A similar policy will be applied to Instagram, Facebook said. The measures will be put into effect over the next few weeks and will apply worldwide at Facebook, which claims 1.3 billion active users.

ith airlines charging extra to check a bag, the Spring Break challenge is stuffing an entire week’s worth of clothes into a carry-on or packing a checked bag. The packing process can be a hassle and can even put a damper on a vacation. Here are some ways to maximize space within a suitcase by using different ways to fold. Try these the next time that last pair of jeans just won’t fit.
RETAIL METHOD
SHOES
1: Lay out the sweatshirt. 2: Take a sleeve and fold it across. 3: Then fold that same sleeve in half. 4: Repeat step 2. 5: Repeat step 3. 6: Take one side of the sweatshirt and move it to the middle until the fold is at the base of the sweatshirt. 7: Repeat it again for the other side. 8: Take the bottom of the sweatshirt and fold it halfway up. 9: Fold again until it is at the top. 10: If it has a hood, encase the fold in the sweatshirt so the fold will not come undone.
THE ROLL Military personnel and flight attendants use the roll method when it comes to packing. A person can maximize space in a suitcase in order to buy souvenirs or bring more with them. FOR PANTS
Shoes can be the perfect storage compartment. Stuff socks or toiletries into the shoes to conserve space.
1: Lay out a pair of pants so they are completely flat. 2: Fold the pants in half. 3: Start rolling from the pant legs. 4: Keep rolling tightly to the waistband. For tank tops and shirts, roll and contain with a rubber band.
CARTMAN RECRUITS IN ‘SOUTH PARK’ GAME Being the new kid is tough for a lot of young people. They wind up in a new place, have to make friends and establish some sort of identity. Most “new kids” aren’t (un)lucky enough, though, to get shipped off to South Park, Colo. This is the scenario that begins “South Park: The Stick of Truth.” The silent protagonist given the name “Douchebag” arrives in the mystic mountain town to find the neighborhood embroiled in fantasy combat over the Stick of Truth. Quickly recruited by Cartman, mage leader of the humans, the protagonist chooses a class — Fighter, Mage, Thief or Jew — and is pitted against the Drell Elves. It’s up to the player and their new friends to reclaim the powers of the universe. Right away, the coolest thing about this game is how easy it is to forget it’s an actual video game. “South Park: The Stick of Truth” is done in the same twodimensional, paper cutout style as the show. This allowed the developers to easily switch the user experience from video game to cut scene, with many shades of gray in between. The writing feels like a genuine South Park episode. Rife with the same bluntness, obscenity and juvenile merriment that flavor the show, the game delivers

POTHOLES:
City invests in repairs,
ROAD PATCHES | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 If the weather permits, Wright said the city can fill about a hundred potholes a day. Patching up a pothole can only take a few minutes, depending on the size. “We tend to focus on areas that receive the most complaints [about potholes],” he said. Wright said his team has focused on filling the potholes that surround campus on Riverside and University avenues. Whether or not that patch lasts a whole season depends almost entirely on chance. “Ultimately, you can’t say on average how long it will last,” Wright said. “It depends on the winter and how busy the road is. They can last a day or two years.” The amount of money the city spends on fixing potholes varies each year because the department gets money from wheel taxes, which are paid when a person registers any type of vehicle in the county. Not all coun-
ties use wheel taxes. If the Department of Public Works finds that it is spending more money than normal on patching and requires more funds, it will to have to go through the City Council to get budget reappropriation, Hayes said. Road patches make up a portion of its yearly budget but it does not include road paving, which is about $1.2 million, Wright said. Mindy Wesley, a freshman vocal performance major, said she is afraid for her vehicle when she drives around Muncie. “Basically, I’m afraid my car is going to explode,” she said. “I honestly forgot about [potholes] because the ice filled [them] up and now, I’ll probably have to get new tires.” Junior computer technology major Ryan Zwilling said he preferred the snow on roads. After the snow melted, he said potholes became a problem near his apartment in University Estates. “[The road near my apart-

Wright has not heard an exact date as to when the plant will open, but that the city is already expecting to spend more money in the summer because of the $16,000 already spent on cold-mix patches.

THE FORMING OF A POTHOLE This year’s severe winter weather is contributing to the growth of potholes, which can become a major problem if not taken care of properly. The following factors add to how potholes form.
asphalt roadbed
1. Water sinks through cracks in the asphalt and goes to the roadbed.
2. The water freezes, causing the
asphalt and roadbed to expand. As the cracks grow bigger, the asphalt begins to break up.
3. The frozen water turns to liquid
again and leaves a gap between the asphalt and the roadbed.
4. Traffic causes the broken asphalt to fall into the gap.

5. A pothole forms. It will worsen if water continues to gather and freeze and if traffic continues to weigh it down.

LIFELINE: Education is key, law could save Faculty recall Burkhardt lives of students, says UPD police chief as dedicated, considerate | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
Gene Burton, University Police Department police chief, agreed that education on the law is key. “I believe [the law’s expansion] potentially could save lives,” he said. Former Purdue student David Rosenthal was involved with the creation of the original Lifeline Law in 2012. He also said the expansion will increase the law’s impact. “It’s all important,” Rosenthal said. “There are a lot of serious situations with alcohol but also involve drugs or involve people that get hurt or injured — not just alcohol poisoning — but maybe they’ve been drinking and they fall down and they also need help.” If passed, the bill will take effect July 1.
STUDENT GOVERNMENT WORKS TO EDUCATE
On Wednesday, the Student Government Association took steps to encourage the conversation on campus around the Lifeline Law. SGA Senate passed a resolution that orientation leaders receive education on Lifeline Law and speak to their freshmen about the law during orientation. Muncie Mayor Dennis Tyler sponsored the bill, which SGA Vice President Alyssa France
and President Pro Tempore Jack Hesser authored. France said she doesn’t think the average student knows about the Lifeline law. “Whether it saves one life or twenty, it doesn’t matter,” she said. “In an emergency, [students] need to call help and not worry about getting in trouble. Providing this information is going to save a life eventually.” Lindsey Speer, associate director of admissions and orientation, said she thinks this initiative can be implemented as early as this year’s summer orientation. “It’s important because in the end, it relates to their health and well-being and [the] health of [the] student body and community,” she said. “We want to do whatever we can to make sure students are safe, healthy and responsible.” Speer said it is too early to say exactly what form the education will take. SGA said the conversation could take place during open time between orientation leaders and the freshmen, when they have the chance to ask questions. Kevin Mullaney, SGA treasurer and a former orientation leader, said freshmen at orientation ask their leaders about the weekend life at Ball State before they ask about anything else. “[Leaders can say], ‘Hey, this is here; you can save lives with
this, don’t be afraid to use it,’” he said. “It’s really valuable and it will be a great help for incoming freshmen.” Michael Gillilan, director of the office of Student Rights and Community Standards, encouraged the initiative to also include Ball State’s long-standing Good Neighbor Policy. Under the policy, students are encouraged to call for help any time someone’s health may be at risk. The student can then try to get the disciplinary action waived if they revealed they violated the student code in order to help someone’s at risk. “What we are trying to accomplish is that is reducing chances that someone will die or be harmed severely, especially through alcohol or drug overdose,” Gillilan said. “[Holding students accountable] is a secondary issue to student safety.” Thomas said he has a daughter that attends Ball State and he wished more students knew about the Lifeline Law for everyone’s safety. “If she did get into trouble, that somebody would be there to help her out and get her medical attention she needs,” he said. “Any parent that has kids going to college would like to know that. You can’t walk someone all the way through college. You just hope they make good decisions.”

to make the history we were teaching come to life.” He said because Burkhardt was so supportive of his teaching methods, it made them closer. Geelhoed said the thing about Burkhardt that impressed him the most was his loyalty to Ball State. “He always talked Ball State up in public forums,” Geelhoed said. “He was always optimistic that the next day would be better than the previous one. In terms of a public perception, he was always very much the optimistic type leader, without being showy and in all the wrong ways.” Burkhardt worked in administration for so long that Geelhoed said his knowledge about higher education at schools like Ball State helped him lead. Burkhardt was there when Ball State made the transition away from being a teachers college. “I believe he was able to see where some opportunities were and if those opportunities made sense for Ball State as a university,” Geelhoed said. Burkhardt retired in 1985, the same year that the former Science Hall building was renovated and renamed to honor him.

VOLLEYBALL: Close match in practice raises tensions
@ Northern Illinois | BSU Record: 5-23

MEN’S BASKETBALL
Ball State will play its final regular season game Saturday afternoon in DeKalb, Ill., as it faces 13-16 Northern Illinois. The Cardinals have struggled this season as the team sits at 2-15 in Mid-American Conference play and 5-23 overall. Although head coach James Whitford never saw a season like this coming, he still has faith in his team. “You want to make sure your team is still hungry to play,� Whitford said. “Half the battle right now is making sure your team is still hungry to compete and play — I feel like we’re there.� The Cardinals own the worst conference record in the MAC. Out of the last 12 games, one game was won and five have been lost by eight points or fewer. Three games have gone into overtime or further to decide a winner. Seniors Jesse Berry and Chris Bond have put on a strong scoring output as the end of their four-year careers at Ball State is hours away. Berry has averaged 16.8 points per game over his last seven and Bond has a team-high 14.1 scoring average per MAC game, which ranks ninth in the conference. The Cardinals tip off against the Huskies at 4:30 p.m. S ​ aturday. – DAVID K. JONES
As the second game began, tensions started to rise. After libero David Ryan Vander Meer deflected an attack, he slowly rose to his feet and kicked the ball, which flew through the air, ricocheting off a bench chair and catching attention from players. “Hey,� a coach called to Vander Meer, his voice sharp and assertive. He was getting tired of the team’s poor reactions. The team usually partakes in one to three matches per practice, in preparation for the weekend. “These guys realize that if they perform well in practice, then they’ll get more chances on the weekend to play,� Walton said. “Learning to deal with the mentality of competition and stress-
Don’t forget your friend’s birthday!
ful situations is important.� Whether Worthen Arena is full of fans or full of cobwebs growing within the seats, players take the mentality into competition. With the second game continuing, Walton announced that the losing side would have to do extra physical conditioning. Audible groans emerged from players. “You put something like that on the line and it’s another motivator,� Walton said. “Nobody wants to do that physical conditioning, and they’re going to compete even harder.� With the second game tied at 18, a player on Wrather’s side rejected an attack and sent it slamming back down on the opposite side. “That’s right, baby.

ing a message that attitude wouldn’t be tolerated. “Sometimes you need to address culture in practice,� Walton said. “If they see every time they behave in a certain way, it gives a point to the other team, we’ll start to change the culture.� With Garchet’s team leading 24-20, Jack Lesure served an ace to end the match. He threw his arms up as his side celebrated around him. They gathered and leaned against the press table, watching the losing side endure its punishment. The competitive nature of practice allows players to learn while not putting the team in danger of losing during a regulation match. “Bring 100 percent every time,� Urim Demirovski said.

In the next point, Wrather’s side would send an attack over, just barely trickling outside the box. The referee awarded the point to Hiago Garchet’s side, tying the match. Tensions boiled over. “That ball was in,� setter Graham McIlvaine said to the referee.

BREAKDOWN BASEBALL @ Kentucky and Campbell | Record: 9-3 Ball State’s baseball team is 9-3 so far this season, but a five-game road trip to Kentucky and Campbell should prove to be the team’s toughest stretch. The Cardinals’ first stop will be Friday in Lexington, Ky., for a three-game series against the No. 22 ranked Kentucky Wildcats. Kentucky is 9-2 on the season and has used a sevengame winning streak to vault toward the top of the NCAA. The Wildcats have averaged 10.4 runs a game during its streak and have yet to lose at home. For the Cardinals to come away with the series victory, the team will have to solve do-it-all junior A.J. Reed. As a starting pitcher for Kentucky, Reed is 3-0 with an ERA of 1.00. He has allowed two runs to score and is holding opposing batters to a sub .175 average. Reed also serves as the team’s designated hitter, and his numbers at the plate also are impressive. In 11 games, Reed has hit to the tune of .429 and boasts seven home runs and 20 RBIs. After finishing its series in Lexington, the Cardinals will travel to Buies Creek, N.C., for a two-game set against the Campbell Camels. The series begins Tuesday. Campbell is 9-3 on the season, with eight of those victories coming at home. –
