FOOTBALL

Offensive line returns 5 starters

Three seniors, 2 juniors aim to improve previous 5-7 record CHASE AKINS STAFF REPORTER | @akins27_akins

There’s no lack of experience on the front line for the Ball State football team this season. The Cardinals return all five starters on the offensive line that features three seniors and two juniors. The line will look to anchor an offense that gained momentum at the end of last season. “I see our unit as something that other guys can look to,” center Jacob Richard said. “And the offensive line in general is a great unit to be a part of.” Richard, a fifth-year senior, has started 24 games the last two seasons. He leads a unit that features guards Jalen Schlachter and Jeremiah Harvey, as well as tackles Steve Bell and Drake Miller.

Head coach Pete Lembo said the line as a whole has been performing well, and it all starts with the man in the middle. “[Richard] is really the key man in the pivot,” Lembo said. “He’s the guy that makes it all go.” The depth chart also contains “rising sophomore” Vinnie Palazeti and fifth-year senior Nick Plavchak, who has started before. Lembo said they are pretty comfortable with what they have. Redshirt sophomore Jack Milas said he also feels good about his protection while playing behind the experienced line. “[Getting the offensive line back] helps, and the offensive line has been doing great,” Milas said. Milas started six games as quarterback last season, leading the team to a 3-3 record during that time. He’s looking to win the starting job again this year while building chemistry with the line. A good offensive line can give the quarterback more time in the pocket and provide bigger holes for the running backs.

Richard sees the offensive line as leaders for the Cardinals. He said their relationship allows for success on the field. “We’re all good friends and like to joke around and mess around with each other, give each other a hard time,” he said. “But, at the same time, we know what we need to do to get things done this season.” Chemistry will be important as Ball State looks to improve on its 5-7 record from last year. The Cardinals concluded their spring schedule with the annual Spring Game on April 18. The offense defeated the defense in the game, 56-37. While the offensive line isn’t the most luxurious position on the field, football is a game often won in the trenches. Richard and his fellow linemen will look to use their experience heading into the season. “It’s awesome,” Richard said. “It’s something I don’t think I’ve had since I’ve been at Ball State. It’s really something you don’t want to take for granted.”

Ball State colleges vye for 3-year entrepreneurial initiative funding RACHEL PODNAR CHIEF REPORTER | rmpodnar@bsu.edu

Departments and colleges on campus are in competition for a share of $3 million—funds available to start new entrepreneurial initiatives. During his State of the University address, Ball State President Paul W.

TIMOTHY BERG, “We will not only Honors College Professor support a culture of positive change and opportunity and interdisciplinary project development, but we will focus on tangible strategies to enhance our academic environment,” Ferguson said in an email from spokeswoman Joan Todd. The funds for the program will come from the Ball State Foundation from past private donations. Honors College professor Timothy Berg is working on the application for the Honors College. He sees grant competition as Ferguson backing up the idea of entrepreneurial learning. “It’s easy to say things and not follow up with actual incentives to make us do it,” Berg said. “We’re not getting paid extra, but we’re able to do and realize interesting things. The best ideas will win these grants, and I like that.” Berg said because the grants aren’t for things like a new copier, they have energized him to think of ideas that may be seen as a risk. “We can take risks knowing we can go out on a limb and try something new,” he said. “If we fail, we’re right back where we are. We know we are already sitting on good solid ground with what we are doing.”

Baseball loses twice to Eastern Michigan Even with early lead in both games, team falls in doubleheader ERIC KUZNAR STAFF REPORTER | @EKuznar After opening the series with a win, the Ball State baseball team suffered two defeats Saturday while on the road at Eastern Michigan. The Cardinals fell to 24-14 overall and 9-6 in Mid-American Conference play. “This weekend was definitely a step back — we did not pitch and make plays on defense like we have in the past,” head coach Rich Maloney said. “We had a rough doubleheader ... Friday, we played outstanding on defense, we made plays and, for

some reason, we could not do it yesterday.” In the first game, Eastern Michigan defeated Ball State 8-4. The teams combined for 25 hits, as the Cardinals outhit the Eagles 13-12. Leadoff hitter Alex Call led the way for Ball State, going 4-5 in the game with a run and an RBI. Senior Elbert Devarie was 3-4 with an RBI and a run scored. Center fielder Matt Eppers added two hits for the Cardinals. Freshman Trevor Henderson started on the mound, pitching 5.1 innings and allowing three earned runs. Sophomore B.J. Butler pitched the remainder of the game, allowing five hits and three runs while striking out three batters. Like the first game, the Cardinals scored in the first inning to take an early lead in

The Eagles responded, however, and won the game 9-8. Both offenses carried momentum into the second game, as they combined for 27 hits. “We did hit better this weekend, but what we did not get were the hits that cleared the bases,” Maloney said. “It is not so much getting a lot of hits but getting timely hits.” Call recorded four more hits and an RBI to lead the way. Junior Ryan Spaulding, Devarie and Eppers each had two hits for the Cardinals. Eppers and sophomore Alex

Maloney led the team with two RBIs apiece. Freshman Colin Brockhouse started the game and pitched 0.1 innings, allowing three earned runs. Sophomore David Current pitched 6.1 innings and took the loss, as the Eagles scored three runs in the seventh to take the lead for good. Fifth-year senior Devin Wilburn finished the game on the mound. Ball State remains in second place in the MAC West Division. The Cardinals will return to the field on Wednesday on the road against Purdue. “Beating a Big Ten team would definitely mean something, especially when there’s a rivalry involved like with Purdue,” Maloney said. “It will be great to play in their stadium.”

After loss, Cardinals rebound late for 2nd game victory ZACH CAINS STAFF REPORTER | @ZPC1329 After an extra-inning loss in game one, the Ball State softball team rebounded late to send its seniors out in style with a 7-6 victory in game two on Senior Day. Northern Illinois carried its momentum from the first win, gaining a 5-2 lead after two innings. But Ball State scored in each of the final four innings to get the win. “We just didn’t give up and kept fighting and encouraging each other on the field and in the dugout,” senior Loren Cihlar said. “It was a real team effort that got us back over Northern Illinois, much like it has been all season.” The Cardinals outscored the Huskies 2-1 in the first inning. Northern Illinois responded with four runs in the second, chasing starting pitcher Carolyn Wilmes from the game after 1.1 innings. Wilmes allowed five earned runs on five hits with two strikeouts. Ball State cut the lead to two with a Sammi Cowger RBI single in the bottom of the third that scored senior Jessica Craft. Both teams scored a run in the fourth. Cihlar tripled home shortstop Selena Reyna to make the score 6-4 in the bottom half. The Cardinals tied the game in the fifth when sophomore Amanda Arnett hit to third. The throw to first went over the first baseman’s head, scoring Craft and outfielder India Steward. Senior Hanne Stuedemann drove in the winning run in the sixth with a sacrifice fly to score Cihlar. Cihlar led the offense with three hits in the game. Ball State recorded 13 hits

as a team. The seniors combined to contribute six of those hits. Junior Kelsey Schifferdecker entered the game after Wilmes and picked up her second win of the season. She allowed one run on six hits while striking out one. After the game, Ball State

honored its seniors with gifts and framed jerseys. There was a celebratory dinner at the field with all the players, coaches and families. “It is such a huge honor to be able to have that moment with our families and our teammates,” Craft said. “It was so special for all three of us.”

Advocates: ‘50 Shades of Grey’ series blurs line between BDSM, abuse Panel sparks discussion on BDSM, consent KARA BERG CHIEF REPORTER

*Editors note: A panelist’s name was kept anonymous to protect his and his partner’s identity. ome people expressed concern about the definition of sexual consent within Bondage and Discipline, Dominance and Submission, Sadism and Masochism following the recent release of the film adaptation of the “50 Shades of Grey” series. BDSM is a type of sexual relationship where the partners are either dominant or submissive, and it can involve roleplaying and restraint. At a panel last Tuesday, the Office of Victim Services invited psychologists, students and BDSM advocates to speak about consent. “Some people may misunderstand and think that when sex includes role-playing or dominance and submission, that a person can do whatever they want to their partner, but that’s not the case,” Allison Wynbissinger, Ball State’s victim advocate, said in an email. “Each party still needs to be able to say yes and agree to what is happening.” MISCONCEPTION OF ABUSE Susan Wright, a spokesperson for the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom, said the biggest misconception people have is thinking BDSM is out of control or harmful to people. “It’s a game people play,” Wright said. “They set out rules and they agree what kind of game they’re playing and they talk about it beforehand. Most times when people have sex, they don’t really talk about it beforehand. They feel the spark and … they get turned on and they don’t talk about, ‘This is what I like when I have sex’ and, ‘This is what my limits are with sex.’ That’s what people who do BDSM have to do, is talk about it first.” She said with “va-

nilla sex,” or traditional sex, consent can be implied, and it isn’t always clear whether there could be coercion or fear involved. When people come into the “kink community,” as Wright called it, she said they finally learn how to talk about sex because it is not usually something that is taught. “We have basically no sex education—how to be responsible, how to make sure you do have consent, how to talk about limits and what you really want,” Wright said. She said for BDSM relationships, there can be consent for one thing but not for another, and participants are supposed to respect those limits. “We have a hard time trying to explain this to law enforcement and say this person was sexually assaulted,” Wright said. “They look at it and say ‘Well, they consented to a spanking, how are we going to be able to convince people that she also didn’t want to be sexually penetrated?’ But really, it’s simple—she also didn’t consent to being sexually penetrated.” Bernard Rhombus*, a speaker at last Tuesday’s panel, said in the BDSM community, consent is emphasized and is something that is constantly talked about. Rhombus said for people who don’t understand the kink community and base what they know off of misconceptions, they tend to jump to the conclusion that people can’t be assaulted if they willingly enter that lifestyle, but that isn’t true. “Within the community where everyone is supposed to be very hyper-aware of issues and boundary violation, there could be subtle things that to most people wouldn’t seem like a big deal, but would be considered unforgivable sins within the community inside that framework of protecting everyone,” Rhombus said. One of these “unforgivable sins” includes stepping outside of the agreed-upon boundaries, even if it is a small boundary violation. “Even if it doesn’t seem egregiously bad, anyone taking the liberties of someone else without having negotiated permission to do that ahead of time is considered

forbidden,” he said. INFLUENCING BEGINNERS Rhombus said while he had not read “50 Shades of Grey”, he has heard enough about it to know some of its flaws, and how it doesn’t explain how what happens between Christian and Anna is abuse. “That might unfortunately have the effect of introducing newcomers to the idea of kink play and relationships in the context of, ‘If [abuse] happens, it’s okay because it’s part of the lifestyle’, which is absolutely the opposite of the truth,” he said. A big part of the BDSM lifestyle is the kink community, which Rhombus said has a huge impact on teaching new people about physical and psychological safety. “When you engage in potentially dangerous play without having been mentored into it or been educated … that’s how abuse in the kink community happens. What happens in the book seems like an example of that,” Rhombus said. “I would be afraid of people being introduced to those kinds of practices through the book, so they might try it solo or try it in a way that’s abusive with their partners or makes them more accepting of abuse than they should be.” Kiersten Baughman, a psychology professor who was also a speaker on the panel, researches the cultural factors that lead to high rates of domestic violence and sexual assault. She said if a man believes he has to be a dominant and a woman believes she has to be a submissive, it could lead to abuse. “When I see and read about ‘50 Shades [of Grey]’ and see, ‘Oh, I want to marry a guy like Christian Grey,’ I’ve seen that all over social media and that really outrages me because that’s the wrong message we want to be sending,” Baughman said. “No, that’s not love, that’s not a healthy relationship, and it’s really dangerous for people who don’t know much about BDSM and what abuse looks like and what it doesn’t look like.” Because of the negative stigma Baughman said is already associated with the BDSM community, she said the series and media portrays it as a normal part of BDSM, instead of it being seen as abuse. “[The BDSM advocates] were very clear [at the panel] that consent is the number one thing in their community,” she said. “It has to be verbal, often written. Both parties have to be able to renege at any given time, and that’s their hallmark characteristic. The way ‘50 Shades [of Grey]’ portrays consent is not in alignment with the way the BDSM community operates.”

FORUM LETTER TO THE EDITOR

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

FORUM POLICY

PRIVILEGE PERPETUATES WE MUST CLAIM RESPONSIBILITY FOR BOTH POSITIVE, NEGATIVE ACTIONS RACIST OPPRESSION

Last week, the Star Press published an article by Ball State student Malachi Randolph titled “End the Witch Hunts at Ball State.” Randolph, whose series of racist tweets were published by the Daily News last year, condemns the blowback he received, as well as blowback over other incidents of public racism at Ball State, as a “witch hunt” and an example of “persecution.” This claim is horrifying and dangerous, as is the amount of support his statements have received from the student body. Randolph’s claims come from a place of power and privilege, and perpetuate dynamics of violence and oppression against people of color that both encompass and extend far beyond the context of Ball State’s campus. There are several problems with Randolph’s argument, chiefly his false equivocation of getting called out with violence and victimization, and out of this his failure to recognize the historical and contemporary violence suffered by people of color. Anti-violence workers will tell you that people who enact abuse, both structural and interpersonal, are rarely challenged. Rather, structures of power and privilege protect abusers while disempowering victims. In rare cases when there is a call for accountability and justice, those who have done violence and harm often respond by claiming the act of being called out amounts to a form of violence against them, and that they are being “persecuted” and oppressed. This fundamentally ignores dynamics of power; it is a means of changing the narrative of victimization to benefit the abuser, in order to erase violence and silence victims. Let’s be clear, racism is violence and oppression. Being called out for your racism is not. Claiming that being publicly held accountable for racism is a form of “persecution” actively erases and silences people of color who are harmed by the

actual, felt violence of racism. The failure of this equivalency becomes even clearer when contextualized by the reality of violence and oppression suffered by people of color. While Malachi Randolph complains on facing the minimum measurable consequences for his racism, every 28 hours a black man is killed by vigilantes or police. While he claims getting called out for racism is a form of persecution, a trans woman of color has been murdered almost every week this year. While he asserts being called out for racism is a witch hunt, black women continue to face some of the highest rates of violence of any marginalized group, and indigenous women disappear at such incredible numbers that a movement called “Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women” has been organized to address this slow genocide. In short, while Randolph equivocates getting called out on his racism with victimization, people of color are dying from the actual violence of racism. After nearly a year of watching more and more names of murdered black people become hashtags, I am out of patience. For Malachi Randolph, racism is a matter of reputation. For people of color, it’s a form of violence and trauma, and a constant threat to survival. The lives of people of color have to matter more. If you are more upset about Randolph getting called out for his racism than you are about his actual racism, it’s time to self-reflect. Racism is an act of violence against people of color, and has to be called out in order to protect those most vulnerable to its violence. Instead of defending people who are being called out for racism, rally in support, solidarity and safety around people of color who are every day threatened by the violence of racist oppression; and instead of silencing them, learn to listen.

11th annual Carnival entertains all ages

DN PHOTOS BREANNA DAUGHERTY

THE COUPLE

ALAN HOVORKA CHIEF REPORTER afhovorka@bsu.edu

A couple leans over a counter, pellet guns in hand. The sound of metal pinging rings through the air as small balls pierce a paper target. The guns click, empty. A carny comes over and looks at the target. No prize. Paul Fischer, a freshman accounting major, and Crystal Sambor, an undeclared student at Harper College in Illinois, bounce around from game to game at the Late Nite Carnival. “We were supposed to come with our friends, but we didn’t want to wait,” Fischer said. “I forced her to come. I wanted to win a big prize [for her].” He wraps his arm around her waist, and they laugh. They walk over to Water Racer, a game where people shoot water guns at a target to make a stuffed minion from “Despicable Me” race to the top. A carny walks by and collects single dollar bills. The bell rings and the minions race. It rings again. “No. 12,” the carny shouts. Fischer and Sambor are

No. 4 and 5. Waves of people come and go, but the couple keeps playing. The bell rings. Sambor wins; she gets to pick the prize. She points at Tiger from “Winnie the Pooh.” He hands her the doll and they stand shoulder-to-shoulder and laugh as another wave of people come to play. They lean over the counter for their water guns. Sambor wins, again. She exchanges Tiger for a large pug stuffed animal. “Mr. Pugs. We got a big winner here,” the carny said. Sambor and Fischer walk to a bowling game. He leans in for a big kiss. They pull away, and she laughs. Determined, Fischer pushes the ball back and forth trying to hit the bell at the end. Over and over, he puts coins into the machine winning once and then twice. He exchanges a smaller prize for a purple spotted elephant. He hands it to Sambor and they walk over to try their hand in the gun range again. “Well we won, but now it’s time to lose again,” Fischer laughs.

THE STUDENT

CALEB CONLEY STAFF REPORTER cmconley2@bsu.edu

Surrounded by the clickclack sound of amusement rides, Kayla Bell approached the carnival with excitement. As she walked in, she knew which attraction would be her first — Freak Out. The 11th annual Late Nite Carnival hosted a variety of rides and places to eat, and that’s exactly what Bell was looking forward to. She watched the set-up for the Carnival as soon as it began Friday. The freshman sports management major approached Freak Out feeling relaxed — her teal, pre-registration bracelet clung to her wrist. She came off the ride with a big smile on her face. “It was extreme,” she said jokingly. After Freak Out, Bell conquered three more rides with her friends: Orbiter, Tornado and Wipeout. To prepare herself, Bell took many deep breaths. When the rides started, she fell silent. Fear flashed across

her face as the rides spun and twirled. She departed the rides feeling sick, stunned by how fast they went. Maybe it was time for face painting. Bell approached the booth, still unsure of what design to get on her face. While waiting in line, she searched through examples with her friend. “It has to be something fierce,” Bell said. The two threw out different suggestions. A butterfly? What about a basketball or an arrangement of stars? The final decision was Olaf. “I choose Olaf because I love him, and he is adorable,” Bell said. By 11 p.m., Bell felt worn out. She didn’t make it to the rest of the rides, but she still walked out of the carnival feeling amazed. “[I] never thought people would come out to a carnival like this especially on a college campus,” she said. “To see this and the excitement and atmosphere is really cool.”

THE KIDS

KARA BERG CHIEF REPORTER knberg2@bsu.edu

Sisters Madelyn and Katelyn Pearce ran around and chased each other through the fairgrounds after eating part of a funnel cake with their parents. This was their first year at the carnival and the first year the girls have been old enough to go on the rides. “We’ve lived in Muncie for six years and we both work here … but this is the first time here,” said their mom, Leilani Pearce. “We got here right when it opened because we wanted to beat the crowds.” They started off with the bumper cars and the fun house — twice, because it was Madelyn’s favorite — and went booth to booth for every prize table to see what prizes they could win at the games. “There’s a little spinny thing at the end [of the fun house] you get to go through,” Madelyn said. Katelyn said her favorite part was the games because she loved winning prizes. “That’s all she wants to do now because she knows she can get things,” Leilani said.

Katelyn gathered sheets of stickers as she went from table to table, while Madelyn collected whistles and a plastic set of vampire teeth. She had three whistles looped around her neck — a red one, a green one and a pink one. “I kinda know how to whistle, but not loudly,” Madelyn said of why she kept collecting whistles as prizes. When Leilani asked Madelyn where she wanted to go next, she mumbled “the fun house” around the vampire teeth and was surprised to find out her mom knew what she had said. “You can understand me?” she asked after pulling them out and sticking them in her pocket. They didn’t go on many rides, but Madelyn said she liked the look of the ferris wheel, even though she didn’t think she was tall enough to ride it. While waiting in line for the fun house for the third time, Madelyn and Katelyn were getting antsy and tossing the stuffed penguin and blue raccoon they won during a game at each other. Coming out the fun house after her favorite part — the “spinny thing at the end” — Madelyn said it was “just as fun the third time.”

VINYL: STILL VIABLE AGAINST NEW MUSIC FORMATS

TYSON BIRD GRAPHICS REPORTER | tabird@bsu.edu

VINYL SALES VOLUME, 2013-2015

COST COMPARISON OF VINYL, DIGITAL AND COMPACT DISC SALES

Nielson reported in the 2014 year-end music analysis that vinyl sales had increased between 2013-14, following a nine-year trend of growth. Q1 2015 reports show a 53% increase in vinyl over 2014. This data was used to project the 2015 sales figure.

When comparing vinyl sales from year to year, it is important to look at sales volume rather than revenue due to variance in format pricing. The albums below were top-selling albums in Nielson’s 2014 annual report.

Protestors aim to end victim blaming Feminists for Action hosts 2nd Slut Walk against rape culture LAURA ARWOOD STAFF REPORTER | llarwood@bsu.edu About 150 people painted words like “slut” and “THOT” on themselves and walked through campus Friday, calling for an end to blaming victims for their own sexual assault. This was Feminists for Action’s second Slut Walk rally. Participants held signs and chanted against slut shaming and rape culture. “Slut shaming is using the term ‘slut’ or other words to demean specifically a woman for liking sex, or seeking out sex, using sexuality to degrade women,” Aly Austin, Feminists for Action president, said. “Rape culture is a set of ideas and beliefs that support and excuse rape, like what a woman was wearing or how much she drank — anything that would give rapist a reason [to rape].” Participants walked from the Quad, through the Scramble Light and to LaFollette Complex. The walk encouraged participants to wear as much or as little clothing as they felt comfortable. Many participants had slurs

Even the ones that don’t get funded, the idea will be there and they will figure out a way to make it happen, [but] it will take a lot longer.”
