Students change bike event to raise money for Uganda |
DOMINIQUE STEWART STAFF REPORTER dastweart@bsu.edu
The goal was to build a school for the children in Uganda. And when Ball State’s chapter of Building Tomorrow hosted its first Bike to Uganda event in October 2012, it raised $300. The group needed $60,000. After a fresh start two years later, the group has shifted gears and is focusing its attention on building a classroom.

where they “scribble their lessons in the dirt for lack of proper learning materials or even gathering under a tree to learn,” UNESCO said. Building Tomorrow hires Ugandan workers to help build the schools and teachers to run it once it’s been decided that a school will be built in that community. It also pays for the children’s lunches and the teacher’s salary for a year. “They actually try to help the community find an appreciation and ownership of the schools,” said Heather Murray, a senior architecture major and member of the Ball State chapter.

t Ball State, American Sign Language isn’t accepted for foreign language credit, but one student is taking it into his own hands to change that. Freshman art education major Jacob ONLINE Durnen started a petition in early March to persuade the university to accept the language as a foreign language credit toward Bachelor of Arts degrees. There are 63 signatures as of publication. Durnen took three years of ASL classes during Check out some high school and expected to continue learning that sign language bit.ly/1hgnFBc language in college while pursuing a degree that requires 14 credit hours of a foreign language. “With this degree, it’s so filled with credits already that starting to learn a new language in itself is extremely hard,” he said.

zpcains@bsu.edu
n order to pursue her dream of playing collegiate tennis in the United States, Netherlands native Kristel Sanders only needed to post a YouTube video. Though not viral, Sanders’ highlight video was enough to gain attention from tennis coaches in America. “I got help to make a YouTube video, showing off some of my tennis skills,” she said, wearing a Ball State tennis jacket after practice. “After that, I received some phone calls from coaches asking me to play on their team.” Nearing the end of her fouryear career at Ball State, she said she wouldn’t be here if not for the YouTube video. One of the coaches that called Sanders was Ball State’s head coach at the time, Christine Bader. “I immediately hit it off with her after we talked and was a big reason I chose Ball State,” Sanders said.
FAMILY AWAY FROM HOME
Her hometown of Veldhoven sits in the south part of the Netherlands, about 78 miles south of Amsterdam and 53 miles east of Antwerp, Belgium. Sanders was troubled by a lack of collegiate tennis programs in the Netherlands. While attending a tennis tournament in her country, Sanders saw a presentation about college sports in America. The possibility of being able to continue playing tennis at a collegiate level drew her interest and pushed her to create the YouTube video. Sanders also wanted to study at Ball State in order to become fluent in English, as Dutch is her native language. Once moving to the U.S. became a legitimate possibility, Sanders realized she wouldn’t get to see her family much. But she said it wasn’t too hard adjusting once she got here. “I haven’t had any difficulties to living here,” she said. “I mean, someone will point out I do something that seems odd to them, but it wasn’t a very hard transition since they are both Western countries.” Another reason for the easy transition was her “second

family” she gained through a teammate. “Kristel has become like a member of my family,” junior Courtney Wild said. “My mom calls Kristel her ‘Dutch daughter.’ And on her Senior Day, my parents are going be standing in as her parents.” Sanders also celebrates holidays with them when she can’t go home. While Sanders left her life back in the Netherlands for the sport, tennis hasn’t been a lifelong dream. “I originally wanted to play soccer when I was a kid,” she said. “My dad didn’t want me to play because he didn’t think it was a sport for girls, so I picked tennis.”
BECOMING A CAPTAIN
Sanders’ transition to American life has been as smooth as her play on the court. Sanders has increased her win total each season at Ball State. Her improvement over three years earned her the role of team captain this year. Teammates said the title has noticeably changed Sanders’ role with the team. “I met her during my recruiting trip, and she was very shy,” junior Ashlyn Rang, who now lives with Sanders, said. “Which
was understandable, since she was a freshman and she was away from home. Now, she is so much more confident in her game and as a leader.” With six matches remaining on the season’s schedule, Sanders has surpassed her freshman win total. She currently has 14 overall wins in singles and 18 overall wins in doubles. The improvement and promotion to captain means more responsibility, but Wild said teammates look up to her. “She has definitely matured over the years.” Wild said about Sanders. “She has become a role model on the team and really fights hard on the courts.”
WINNING IN THE MAC
The Mid-American Conference began with a big victory over Northern Illinois and a close loss against Miami. Sanders has been at her best in MAC matches. Her biggest career victory came in a match against Miami last year. In the match, she was down in the third set. “I was able to come back and win 7-5 and clinch the match for us,” she said. “It was the first time in a long time that we beat Miami.” When her senior year ends, Sanders will return home to the Netherlands and begin a job at PwC, an accounting firm, while also pursuing a master’s degree. Rang said she will miss how Sanders could always make her laugh, like when they would sing together on the courts. “I’ll miss being here a lot,” Sanders said. “Especially when I won’t see my teammates every day, that will be weird. I’ll miss them the most.”

JOIN A CIRCLE PIT
Usually, a single mosher begins the circle pit by running around it and urging others to join while the crowd of bystanders moves outward to form the pit. There are a few points the mosher and bystander should pay attention to while running. First, one thing that annoys a mosher is when a bystander sticks their foot out to trip them as they run by. If you are unsure about entering the pit, it does not give you the right to interfere with others’ enjoyment. As for the moshers taking part in the activity, it is crucial for everyone to keep the pace. If you are unable to continue, then you should back out so you don’t slow anyone down and start a pile up. The final point is that pushing is not the same as shoving. It is acceptable to push people along, but not so that they slam into bystanders or fall over.

A common misconception is that you’re supposed to get punched and bloodied up in a pit, but that is far from the truth. A mosh pit is a time when you are to let your adrenaline go and simply push people back and forth, usually using your shoulder. If a fellow mosher were to fall down, it is the closest person’s responsibility to lift them off the ground and make sure that they are fine. This is not a situation to release your anger on people enjoying a concert. It’s to have a good time and let loose all of the excitement. If, by chance, you do end up bloody or hurt, just accept it and don’t let it ruin your fun.

magine you’re at the concert you have been waiting the whole year for. Your favorite band enters the stage and begins to blow the venue down with a mix of heavy riffs and pounding drums. Your adrenaline surges and soon, a group of people begin to push each other around. This is your first time viewing a mosh pit in person. Your friends have told you stories about them and you have even seen them on YouTube, but never up close. Without any experience of joining in the pit and the threat of injury, you begin to talk yourself out of it. Little do you know you could be missing out on the best concert experience of your life. People don’t realize there is actually moshing etiquette or a set of unwritten rules one should follow while in the pit. Besides regular moshing, there are circle pits and walls of death along with many other variations. Each of these activities does have a set of rules that anyone who calls themselves a “mosher” should respect. When rules are not respected, people may end up seriously injured.

RESPECT THE WALL OF DEATH
The wall of death is the most dangerous part of moshing, but also the most exciting. The lead singer usually begins this movement by asking the crowd to divide down the middle. Once the singer gives the cue to start, both sides run at each other as quickly as they can with all of their force. Given that this is one of the more harmful things to do at a show, you must proceed with caution. If you have a gut feeling you shouldn’t take part, this is one of those times you should listen. If you are claustrophobic, know that in a matter of seconds, you will be surrounded by people pressing at you from all sides. Finally, if you are a brave enough soul, you might be one of the individuals that stands in the center of either side waiting to be mauled by a whole venue of sweating, adrenaline-rushed people. Moshing should be a time for you to let go of your problems and have a great time. By remembering the unwritten rules of these activities you will gain respect of the people around you. Take a chance, do it right and keep the moshing etiquette in mind.

Village lights may improve safety Company to replace, add new LED lamps around apartments HOVORKA CHIEF REPORTER | ALAN afhovorka@bsu.edu New lights in the Village may help increase safety and energy efficiency. The Village Promenade’s construction company, Invest-
ment Property Advisors, plans to replace 33 street lights with new LED lamps in the Village area, said Todd Donati, director of the Muncie Redevelopment Commission. Most of the lighting will surround the new apartment complex and commercial building, as well as University Avenue. An additional 10 street lights will be built along Dicks Street and McKinley Avenue. In a meeting last week, the
Muncie Board of Works and Public Safety approved the request. Seth Cooke, construction site manager for The Village Promenade, said he could not comment on the project at this time because it is too early. Bryan Kubel, Student Government Association safety chair, has tried to increase lighting off campus and said he thinks new Village lighting will increase safety. He also expressed a more
broad concern for off-campus safety as a whole. “In most of the neighborhoods off campus, there are mainly lights just at street corners,” Kubel said. “We’d like to see them in between.” He said during this term of SGA, they have put up lighting on Martin Street between University and Riverside avenues. Additional legislation passed that asked the university to start replacing all burned out
lights on campus with LEDs, which are brighter and more energy efficient than the current bulbs, he said. Gene Burton, University Police Department chief, said he did not know what the new lighting in the Village would do for safety. “At this time, there isn’t enough information to render a proper opinion on what safety will be like after construction,” he said. Temporary lighting will be in place during construction until
IPA installs the permanent lights. Donati said the long-term plan for expanding off-campus lighting will coincide with its plan to expand Jackson Street by adding an 8-foot wide bike lane. In addition, the Muncie Redevelopment Commission plans on creating a bike trail that would run from University Avenue to West White River Boulevard and will use the same lights as those in The Village.

Players chase after the ball during a scrimmage against the IPFW AdaptoDons on Monday at the Student Recreation and Wellness Center. Only two players in the Ball State group use a wheelchair in daily life.
WHEELCHAIR BASKETBALL:
Popularity of game grows | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 For example, she said if players were shooting, their chair had to be facing the basket and they can’t shoot when they’re moving, unless they are experienced. Kaiser said since basketball is one of the few sports seen on TV for Paralympic sports, people are exposed to it more and some want to come try. On Monday night, the wheelchair basketball team played a scrimmage against the IPFW AdaptoDons. The Ball State group practices every Monday night, but hadn’t previously played against anyone. Sarah Sims, one of the students who helps run the team,
said the scrimmage was to give the team more experience in a game. “Our guys were interested in getting a feel for a real game, so we wanted to bring in some more players that really knew how to play,” she said. Kaiser said she liked how they had mostly able-bodied students playing so they could see what her life is like. “In the United States, [Paralympic athletes] are not seen as pro-athletes,” Kaiser said. “It’s good seeing guys our age seeing this side of it. I think this generation is more open to it.” Before Kaiser, Ball State hasn’t had a wheelchair team in 20 years.
The sport began in 1948 after World War II veterans started coming back from overseas, according to the National Wheelchair Basketball Association’s website. Since many of them were paralyzed, they started trying sports like pingpong, bowling and basketball. Wheelchair basketball is the top played wheelchair sport. C.J. Conger, a freshman architecture major, said he has played basketball for his whole life and he wanted to switch it up and do something more challenging. “I like being at a disadvantage and having to find a way to keep up with it,” he said. Conger said playing in a wheelchair used a lot of men-
tal strength — especially since he had never been in a wheelchair before. “I have to figure out how to work the chair and play in the chair,” he said. “Here, it doesn’t matter how fast you are on your feet.” Tim Leonard, the captain for the IPFW AdaptoDons, said it was great to see another school that was adding adaptive sports. This is IPFW’s second year with a team. “In the society we’re in now, colleges are trying to find new ways to make everyone equal and adaptive sports are the next wave,” he said. “It’s important that schools see there is a need for [adaptive sports].”
UGANDA: Group looks to fund classroom 1 brick at a time | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
“[They don’t say], ‘Here, we’re going to give you a lot of money. Good luck.’” The organization was pitched to architecture programs as a way for architecture majors to design a school in a Uganda that would ultimately be built, Stultz said. “We talked to some professors and they were like, ‘Yeah, if you raise money we could design the school,’ but then we realized it was a bit overreaching for the first time,” she said. “We lost that architecture connection, but I feel like I gained other skills.” People skills and learning how to run a business-related group were a few things that Stultz said she learned. “Every other group I’ve been [in] was like, sit back and watch it happen,” she said. “But with this it was like, ‘OK, here’s what we’re going to do.’” The Ball State chapter hosts’ different fundraising events throughout the year, but its main draw is Bike to Uganda. Bike for Uganda is an event where individuals bike 758 miles, a 10th of the distance to Uganda, on stationary bikes at the University Green for half-

Participants can get sponsors or pay it themselves. “I think that fundraising is tricky, especially on a college campus because we’re all ‘broke college kids,’ and it’s hard,” Jaben Temple, copresident of the group, said. “Just because you’re passionate about something doesn’t mean that someone walking down the street is. “So you have to connect with someone on a certain level. Kind of inspire them.” A dollar is the equivalent of 10 bricks, so a lunch swipe of $7.85 would provide nearly 80 bricks to help build a school. “We have a school in Bugubo, Uganda, that’s going to be built,” Temple said. “Even [though it’s] Africa and Indiana, it seems very close and intimate.” The chapter has seen verbal hostility toward those who found the cause to be unwor-

thy or not good enough. “You can’t please everyone,” Temple said. “The cause is less trendy than Kony 2012, but I think everyone has that ‘click moment’ at some point.” Finding that moment was easy for Stultz. “If you go to the Building Tomorrow website, it takes about two seconds to see who I’m doing it for,” she said. “They have tons of pictures, and you can always see who you’re helping. That’s the No. 1 thing. You can always put a face with what you’re doing and I think that helps a lot. If you can see people and see how you’re affecting them, it makes you realize you’re doing good. I think that propels us forward.” Seniors Murray, Stultz, Temple hope to see their efforts for the last few years pay off. “It’s been a long time coming,” Stultz said. “The anticipation has sort of grown and we’re closer than we’ve ever been. We’re about to graduate, and it will be nice to see some kind of fruit of the labor. We started at the beginning, and we want to see it through.” The Bike to Uganda event started Tuesday. Today is the last day, starting at 9 a.m. on University Green.

STARBUCKS TO ADD ALCOHOL TO MENU
Students buzzing about Starbucks’ new alcohol and dinner won’t be getting their fix on campus. After 4 each evening, some Starbucks around the country will now serve alcohol and a dinner menu. The night menu is only available in certain locations, mainly around big cities like Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Los Angeles, Seattle and Chicago, according to the Starbucks website. Jon Lewis, director of Ball State Dining, said Ball State has no plans to start selling alcohol at the L.A. Pittenger Student Center location. “I have no reason to do it — they haven’t contacted us, either,” he said. “It’s a new thing for Starbucks, and I don’t believe they’ll require their franchises to do it.” However, Muncie’s Starbucks could start selling alcohol soon. Amanda Geon, manager at the McGalliard Road store, said although Starbucks has not approached her, she would make the change. “I like what it brings to the stores,” she said. “It’s very professional and classy the way they have it set up.” – KARA BERG
