MOVING FORWARD F Competition with twin brother leads to life-long love of sport

ZACH CAINS CHIEF REPORTER

@ZPC1329

rom her earliest memories, Jessica Craft remembers competing in sports with her twin brother, Jacob. The rivalry with her brother developed an intense competitive nature in Jessica that was tested after suffering her second injury in less than a year at Ball State in 2012. “[Jacob] has always been there for me and always helped me through everything,” Jessica said. “I can always rely on him because if he says or does something for me, I know he means it and it’s great having that.” The siblings found a sport they both loved when they began playing tee-ball together. Jessica later played on the softball team at LaPorte High School, while her brother played baseball. She led her team to a 8139 record with two sectional titles and a regional as the shortstop.

“Playing and competing with my brother I felt really sparked how competitive I would become playing softball,” Jessica said. After graduating high school together, Jacob chose to attend Anderson University to continue his baseball career. But Jessica decided to take another route and begin her own journey. She wanted to go somewhere to make a name for herself. She visited Ball State and felt at home with the school and the team. She knew right away it was the place for her. “I told my dad right after the visit I wanted to go there, and he said I should take a

month and look at my options,” Jessica said. “I told him ‘no, I’ve made up my mind and I’m telling them in two weeks,’ and he eventually gave in.” Jessica joined the team in 2012 and became the starting shortstop for the Cardinals. She started the first 19 games of the season before suffering an injury during practice in March 2012. On a fly ball to shallow left field, she collided with leftfielder Hannah Zimmerman diving for the ball. Both players suffered concussions, and Jessica’s finger jammed into Zimmerman’s cheek and fractured.

New combat system makes playing more exhilarating than ever before AIDAN KEARNEY BYTE REPORTER | amkearney@bsu.edu

ollowing their previously successful titles, Japanese developer From Software presents a brutal and deadly world that contains more than meets the eye. I cautiously, yet staunchly, followed Bloodborne’s development over the years. As more and more footage was released, I was worried as most of it looked as if it all took place within the same locations, presenting a rather small-scope of the game. Upon release, I cannot thank From Software enough for keeping as much of the game hidden as possible. As a caveat early on, I feel the need to say that I do not exactly consider this a Souls game. While the gameplay mechanics are similar, Bloodborne separates itself from the Souls series in the same way that Demon’s Souls separated itself from From Software’s lesser known King’s Field series. Comparisons are made to note artistic similarities and differences between previous titles, and not exactly meant to be a detractor or an exact upgrade. Despite taking place in a smaller location than Demon’s Souls and Dark Souls 1 and 2, Bloodborne’s setting contains a strong, singular focus on the city of Yharnam and its surrounding countryside. Wandering through the labrynthine alleys and streets gives players

the sense of exploring an actual city, exploring whatever residences are open. It is easily possible to be lost within the thick, shrouded neighboring forests. One of Bloodborne’s strengths lies in the feeling of being lost and surrounded by hostile enemies, something that cannot often be attributed to most games made today. Because of Bloodborne’s connected set of locations, the art style and graphics tend to blend very cohesively. As the world shifts from day to night, enemies light torches and start bonfires, giving Bloodborne an opportunity to show off its impressive lighting and shadow system. Dark and foreboding cathedrals and spires gloriously comprise Yharnam. Given Bloodborne’s eponymous focus on blood, it makes sense that it looks so fantastic. As blood is sprayed while fighting Bloodborne’s incredibly well-designed and monstrous abomination, it reflects light, and even mats whatever fur and hair it lands on. In combat, the hunter character can wind up absolutely drenched in blood, giving the strangely satisfying sensation of wearing the fruits of your carnage. On a graphical level, while it can certainly be considered the prettiest game From Software

has released, it is far from perfect. It’s clear where From Software cuts corners. I can count the pixels on some of the railings on bridges, and in some areas I died exploring because I fell through a floor texture underneath an elevator. This intangible floor texture is also apparent by examining wells within the area. Additionally, fighting upwards of five enemies at a time — which is common — leads to notable drops in frame rate. Because Bloodborne has to load in the whole entire open world, it also leads to some downsides such as considerably long load times, and texture pop-in. From Software couldn’t have made the frequent loading screens any less interesting either. Every time I load an area or die, I’m treated to a fascinating presentation of the game’s title over and over again. The obscurity within From Software stories that forces the player to explore locations does have its limits. While the obscurity was to be expected, Bloodborne’s story is notably more ambiguous in the early game than previous From Software titles. Gehrman, Bloodborne’s expository NPC only shows up after completing certain story events, and delivers incredibly vague instructions as to what to do next. Eventually it came to a certain point where Gehrman stopped

appearing and I had to blindly wander from zone to zone, wondering if I was even going the right way or why I was in a specific location. Fortunately, as I explored the horrors that lie in wait in Yharnam, the story became much clearer as time went on. The meat of Bloodborne lies mainly within its combat system, and additionally, how different it is from previous From Software titles. Bloodborne removes many elements previously featured in their titles, such as poise and equipment load, which to some could be considered a lack of variety in character building. In the Souls series, players would have to take the weight of their equipment into consideration as it would affect the speed of their character and how easily they are staggered from attacks. To overcome the loss of agility, players had the option to passively wait behind a shield for an opening in an enemy’s attack pattern. Bloodborne removes the overtly defensive option, making enemies much more aggressive while encouraging the hunter to respond in kind through the use of the firearm-centered parry-andriposte system. Hunters are able to land high-damaging visceral attacks if they fire their gun of choice immediately before an enemy lands an attack. This new, more aggressive playstyle presented a great

challenge to overcome, especially early in the game, as I was previously used to a more defensive style using a shield. Fortunately, the uniqueness of Bloodborne’s “trick” weapons encourages hunters to experiment and familiarize themselves with their deadly combos. Bloodborne presents an admittedly imperfect, but incredibly alluring world. Horrific and deadly creatures lay in wait in Yharnam’s vast cityscape, with a deadly surprise around every corner. Like many other From Software games, Bloodborne delivers the satisfaction of overcoming every deadly challenge to find something new.

| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Jessica was sidelined for nearly two months and struggled with her inability to play. “It was tough, but I feel like I learned a lot while off the field,” she said. “And my teammates were so supportive and helped me the whole way through.” Her return to the field came on May 4, 2012, but in a smaller capacity. Jessica was a pinch runner for the rest of the season while wearing a cast on her hand. Jessica suffered another injury in October 2012 preparing for the next season, discovering she had six lumbar vertebrae rather than five. The injury was a shock to her. “I didn’t understand what was happening,” Jessica said. “It was something I’ve never had to deal with, so it was a

Pitching allows Cardinal victory in Akron series

“I’d never played the position before but I decided mentally that I would go at it with all I got and took the position by the horns,” Jessica said. “I was helped out immensely by Sadie Robertson, who was the catcher here during that time, and I learned so much from her.” In the summer of 2013, the lingering back injury required surgery, which limited her to 24 games her junior year. Jessica said it felt like the injury might end her career behind the plate, but her competitiveness kept her on track. “I think the hardest thing to get over with an injury is mentally — not being able to do everything you should be capable of doing and having to watch people do those things,” Jessica said. “You just have to, at some point, come to the conclusion that there are some things that you won’t be able to do anymore. But the things you can

do, you have to go out and make them fabulous.” She received endless support from her family, coaches and teammates through recovery. She said her brother called almost every other day. Her teammates have been there the entire way and take Jessica as inspiration. Senior Loren Cihlar said it makes them play harder by watching her do things that injury prevented. “The team almost tries to protect [Jessica] sometimes when we see her do something that we know hurts her,” Cihlar said. “We always are asking her how she is doing and checking on her, but she always just keeps going and won’t stop.” As a senior, Jessica’s work ethic and leadership help guide the Cardinals as they strive for a fourth straight Mid-American Conference title. Head Coach Tyra Perry said she has never seen such drive and determination from a

player, and that Jessica is a solid person all-around. Jessica said she still feels some effects of the back injury this season but doesn’t see it slowing her down. Her competitive edge that has kept her going since childhood has not lost any of its intensity. “I still have a lot left I want to do while I can play,” she said. “And my back still has good and bad days that I fight through ... I play every game like it could be my last.”

Weekend success keeps Ball State tied for 1st in MAC ERIC KUZNAR STAFF REPORTER | @EKuznar

Strong pitching performances over the weekend led the Ball State baseball team to a series victory over Akron and kept the Cardinals in a tie for first in the Mid-American Conference West Division. The Cardinals gave up five runs in their two victories against the Zips. “I feel like we got three solid starts out of our pitchers,” head coach Rich Maloney said. “That’s good to see, because that is an area we need to keep working on heading forward.” Sophomore Zach Plesac got the series started off on a strong note with a complete game, 4-1 victory against the Zips. It was the only game of the series where the Cardinals used one pitcher. Plesac held Akron to a .219 average, while allowing no earned runs or walks. He also recorded seven strikeouts in the game. Over the course of the next two games, Ball State would rotate seven different pitchers. Senior Scott Baker got the start in the second game, a 13-5 loss. Baker pitched three innings, allowing four earned runs and five hits while recording three strikeouts. Fifth-year senior Devin Wilburn, freshman Mitch Gibson and sophomore David Current finished the game in relief, allowing a total of seven earned runs. Akron’s hot offense continued in the series’ final game, as it out-hit Ball State 11-6. The Cardinals’ work on the mound kept the Zips in check, however, and timely hitting led to a 7-4 win.

Kirk’s Bike Shop

Monte Hitchcock visited what’s now called Kirk’s Bike Shop for the first time as a 9-year-old in the 1950s. He came for the display sets — specifically the store’s magic trick set. Kirk’s has been around since 1865, the same year Muncie was founded. It’s changed names, locations and owners, but Muncie residents like Hitchcock have always been able to enjoy it. Hitchcock said he liked coming to the store because it felt like home. During the winter, the store management would have a Ping Pong table set up and he would go there to hang out. “It was just like going to visit your friends,” he said. William Kirk, the founder of the store, opened the first Kirk’s on North Walnut Street. Kirk’s contained general merchandise including sporting goods, clocks, hardware and homemade candles. It also carried highwheel bicycles, according to a newspaper article published in 1965. William had two sons, Charles Benjamin Kirk and E. William Kirk, who worked with him in the store. Charles and E. William took over the store after William’s death and named it Kirk

William died in 1899, Charles became the sole owner of the store. Under him, the store fostered a specialty sports department and continued to grow. “We sell everything but elephants” became the store’s slogan. Kirk’s has continued to be passed down from generation to generation as Charles had two sons who both had three sons. In 1999, B ‘n B campus store, owned by Jay Allardt and Buck Fuller, bought Kirk’s from the original owner’s great-great grandson, Brian Kirk. With the change of ownership came a different name and a new location on Tillotson. Hitchcock still visited the store, but the feeling had shifted. The store became oriented towards college students. “I didn’t have bad feelings about it,” he said. “The Kirk’s felt like it was time to move on and that’s what they did. Like the Kirk family before him, Allardt passed ownership of the store to his son, Jason Allardt. Jason moved the store back to Walnut Street. Although owned by a different family, the store will share its 150th birthday with the City of Muncie on the same stretch of street and with the same family name Kirk’s had when it opened.

CITY COUNCIL PASSES RESOLUTION OPPOSING RELIGIOUS FREEDOM BILL The amendment to Muncie’s human rights statutes in the city ordinance

MAYOR OFFERS COMMITTEE SEATS

that passed at the monthly City Council meeting Monday will go into law today, something Muncie Mayor Dennis Tyler said is “unprecedented.” The resolution states the city’s opposition to the Religious Freedom Restoration Act signed by Indiana Gov. Mike Pence. Normally when the City Council votes, it takes anywhere from 30 to 60 days for the law to go into effect. “For [City Council] to do this all in one regularly scheduled City Council meeting was really unprecedented and it shows the importance of amending our human rights statutes for the city council to do this the way they did it,” Tyler said. Tyler said City Council was showing concerns with Indiana’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act the way it was passed originally, and also with the clarification Gov. Pence passed. “It was still opening up areas for discrimination,” Tyler said. This ordinance protects those regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, race, religion, military standing or ethnicity. “We wanted to make sure all of those classes of citizens in Muncie were protected from discrimination,” Tyler said. He said the ordinance makes it clear that Muncie welcomes everyone. “We respect and welcome diversity in our community,” Tyler said. “At the end of the day we want everybody to know that they’re welcome, that they’re not going to be discriminated against.”

At a monthly dinner at the Islamic Center of Muncie on Saturday, the Muslim community donated $4,000 to the Unity Center of Muncie. Mayor Dennis Tyler attended the dinner and presented a plaque in honor of two Muncie figures, Dr. Mohammed Ansari and activist Aamir Muslim Shabazz, who served their community before they passed away. During the meeting, Tyler also offered committee seats in the City of Muncie for those in the Muslim community to ensure that the community is equally represented and served.

Compromise is the peacekeeper’s art. Find a win-win solution. Impress someone. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is a 7. Don’t argue over stupid stuff. Being right doesn’t matter. Let that go for a larger objective, one that matters to you. Be a source of comfort and good sense. Beautify your surroundings. Persuade gently and persistently.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Today is a 9. It could get messy at work. Put your back into it. Ignore a rude remark. Hold on to what’s most important. Keep your eye on the prize. You’re building a professional reputation of service and excellence. Get expert advice.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Today is a 9. Work together with a partner for long-term benefit. Efforts made now reap a bountiful harvest later. You’re learning new things. Solve a puzzle. Taking risks (especially financial) is not required. Plant your garden with a delicious future.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is a 9. Feelings can be easily hurt now. Don’t get too hard on yourself. Apologies provide relief and peace. Try it out. Or forgive someone, maybe. Discover the beautiful swan hiding in an ugly duckling, the treasure buried in ordinary dirt.

Travels and exploration cost money now for long-term benefit. Changes outside stir things up at home. Follow through on what you’ve chosen. Love is a constant. Invest in your career.

The Johnson A Complex is set to open in the Fall Semester and will be housed with computer labs, fitness rooms and lounge space. Before the residence hall opens, the Schmidt/Wilson halls in Johnson B will close for renovations for similar features of Johnson A.

Johnson B Complex will close for upgrades in May University aspires to redo LaFollette with ‘18 by ‘18’ plan JAKE FOX SPORTS EDITOR | @fakejox3

Ball State President Paul W. Ferguson’s plan for starting construction of another new residence hall will happen—it’s just a matter of whether it lies within his “18 by ‘18” frame, Housing and Residence Life Director Alan Hargrave said. In May, Schmidt/Wilson halls in Johnson B will close for renovations. The results will provide students with similar features— computer labs, fitness rooms and lounge space—while participating in the Theatre and Dance Living-Learning Community. The project is part of Ferguson’s “18 by ‘18,” or Centennial Commitment, which looks to accomplish 18 goals by Ball State’s centennial anniversary in 2018. The university is currently in year three of a separate construction project started before Ferguson’s administration, Hargrave said. So renovations on residence halls beyond what is currently scheduled may not be part of Ferguson’s

new strategic plan. “I think [residence halls] are very important,” Hargrave said. “It’s a way to bridge what happens in class and out of class.” The pre-Ferguson project is a renovation of Botsford/ Swinford halls of the Johnson A Complex, which will open in the coming Fall Semester. It will provide about 590 beds and air conditioning while serving the Emerging Media and Communications LivingLearning Community. With these renovations taking place, along with another in the future, Hargrave said the idea is to have enough space to replace LaFollette, which was completed in 1967 and last renovated in 1998. Ball State has also added 500 beds in Park Hall and another 600 beds in Kinghorn. There could be a need for another 500 to 600 bed facility in order to demolish LaFollette. Isaiah Wong, a former Ball State student who lived in LaFollette last year, said it sometimes felt like it was “thrown up just to have some space” for more students to live on campus. Wong said that the living situation wasn’t always desirable due to a lack of air conditioning as well as old rooms and furniture. He said Ball State should con-

sider tearing down the building if it would be replaced with improved living quarters. The overall construction could take some time, however. Hargrave said part of his job is working with architects on design and making sure the construction is on schedule. The Ball State Daily News reported that the renovations of Johnson A cost the university $30,442,000. Hargrave said most of the money for projects like these comes from a reserve account set aside for construction. After the construction and cleanup is complete, furniture, beds, televisions and other items for the inside have to be moved in as part of a second phase. Jana Lowery, a sophomore telecommunications major, has been in the dorms for two years and likes the convenience they provide. She said that the end product of new construction and renovations will be what helps keep students on campus for the long run. “I think the fact that it’s newer and conditioned ... it will probably have better furniture and be prettier to live in,” she said. “I think that will really attract people.”

This is Harvey. He was playing catch with his human next to the Art and Journalism Building. Shortly before that he had taken a dip in Frog Baby. I constantly see Harvey running around campus with his humans. He’s a well-behaved, loyal dog that doesn’t need a leash and will stay next to his human when they go on walks.
