The committee met Tuesday morning at the O’Hare Interna-
tional Airport’s Hilton Hotel in Chicago. The committee is scheduled to meet at 8 this morning, as well.

The search was previously narrowed to five candidates and two weeks ago, the committee said it had whittled the running down to two or three. The search has been closed since
its start in January. Estopinal previously said he thinks the search will continue to be confidential at least as long as there are two candidates looking to fill the position. During the search for President Jo Ann Gora, the university was criticized for keeping the names of applicants private. “I think, given the realities of today and how quickly names spread and things of that nature, I think the candidates probably, even more today than 10 years

odybuilding often conjures up images of orange glow tans and masculine bulk. But for two women on campus, the large, rippling muscles don’t stop them from being feminine. Ashley Farley, a junior human resources major, and Anika Matsenko, a graduate actuarial science major, found friendship while participating in amateur bodybuilding competing. Farley was a gymnast for 13 years, but when she came to Ball State, she wanted to try out something new. Initially, Farley said she worked out to relieve stress, eventually joining her boyfriend and his family for cycling. See BODYBUILDING, page 4
Before going to bodybuilding competitions, competitors have to change their diet in order to make their muscles look as defined as possible:
TWO DAYS BEFORE: DAY OF COMPETITION: • Increase carbohydrates; carbs help to fill out and bulk up muscles. • Decrease fat. • Drink two gallons of water; keeping hydrated helps to fill out veins.
• Sugar, it increases energy. • Fat because helps feed muscles. •V ery little water — intentional dehydration helps to define muscles in the short term.

Students, faculty create new major looking to protect natural resources Sustainability study includes 5 tracks, expands on minor KAITLIN LANGE CHIEF REPORTER | kllange@bsu.edu
Starting next January, students may be able to chose a brand new major — one that looks to help save the planet. If the major is approved, students would have the option of taking one of five tracks: social, environmental, business, build environment or an interdisciplinary. Some classes will
have to be created, but a large portion already exist through the minor. Sixty-six students are currently enrolled in sustainability minors that were created one and a half years ago, said Bob Koester, chair of the task force created to develop the curriculum and deal with paperwork. Before the major can be approved, a group of eight faculty and one student has to agree on the course structure and prepare paperwork to send to the university’s undergraduate education committee and then seek approval from the Indiana Commission
of Higher Education. Koester said sustainability is becoming more important in the business world. “Sustainability is a really important topic internationally,” he said. “We’re finding that a lot of corporations, a lot of businesses, a lot of not-forprofits as well as government organizations are looking for people who have an understanding of sustainability and can help moving these organizations forward.” Koester said other colleges have sustainability degrees, but Ball State’s will be different. Indiana University has a sustainable development de-
