Sexual assault education effectiveness hard to measure KARA BERG CHIEF REPORTER | knberg2@bsu.edu
Starting in August 2014, Ball State implemented an online education program for all incoming freshmen and transfer students called Think About It. Of the incoming freshmen in 2014, 86.7 percent completed the program, which Tom Gibson, associate vice president for AWARENESS student affairs, said was a good completion rate.

As a freshman at Collingswood High School in New Jersey, Julian Welsh-White was committed to a career in baseball. He had never thought about playing volleyball until the coach approached him and asked him to play. But after some tension between him and the varsity baseball coach, Welsh-White decided to give volleyball a try. “I wasn’t that good at first, but I stuck with it,” Welsh-White said. “My coach saw my perseverance, and I fell in love with the sport. He is the one that really drove me to pursue volleyball as a collegiate sport.”

The play “Iphigenia 2.0” is a modern-day version of “Iphigenia in Aulis” by Euripides. The play is a classic Greek tragedy in a contemporary setting.
Casts performs modern version of classic Greek play

KATHRYN HAMPSHIRE STAFF REPORTER kmhampshire@bsu.edu
In the final Strother show of the season, the Department of Theatre and Dance presents “Iphigenia 2.0” by Charles Mee, a modern-day version of Euripides’ classic, “Iphigenia in Aulis.” In this version, the setting revolves around an unnamed war seemingly occurring in the Middle East. Director Drew Vidal, an assistant professor within the Department of Theatre and Dance, said the play “deals with themes of violence, sexuality and the sacrifice of young people in armed conflict between nations.”
FOLEY:
The play that “Iphigenia 2.0” is based on, “Iphigenia in Aulis” takes place during the Trojan War. Agamemnon, the leader of the Greek coalition, learns that the goddess Athena is preventing his troops from sailing to Troy unless he sacrifices his daughter Iphigenia. Even though the show is based on the original story of Iphigenia and Agamemnon, the cast said it is not important for audience members to be familiar with the play prior to attending. “Whether or not audience members are familiar with the Agamemnon/Iphigenia story or the Trojan War, I think it is important for them to realize that ‘Iphigenia 2.0’ is a very different kind of avant-garde adaptation of the story,” said John Banes, a junior musical theatre major who plays Agamemnon

in this production. “It’s linear, but it isn’t a traditional realist play. Walking in the door with an open mind is definitely going to enhance the experience.” The show blends two time periods — the contemporary and the classical — resulting in a unique challenge for the cast and crew. “Due to the patchwork of influences ancient and modern, traditional and eclectic, our playwright has created many potential anachronisms for us to make sense of,” Vidal said. “Our job has been to figure out how all the elements of the show fit together.” Sophomore acting major Olivia Schaperjohn plays Iphigenia in this production. She said she has enjoyed living in the “heightened Greek world” that is “Iphigenia 2.0.” “While it is contemporary,
it is still a Greek tragedy,” she said. “Connecting the dots from the old world versus the new is interesting and intriguing. While the world seems far away for today, the relationships are still similar and ones we could find in the world today.” Because the show is only 85 minutes long and does not have an intermission, the production has challenged actors to work on moment-by-moment character development. For Schaperjohn, this has meant dealing with a “character arc [that] moves incredibly fast.” Banes agrees. “The most fun challenge of acting in this show is that every single moment for Agamemnon has dire, mortal consequences from the second the show begins until it ends,” he said. “The characters are desperately

“Frankly, I’ve been very impressed with the interdisciplinary way that you can use the arts here. Everything that’s here allows for so much crossing, and the students come from so many different backgrounds. It makes it a very exciting place to be,” she said. “I knew that I’d be able to develop some really interesting coursework for the students in areas they’ve never really been able to explore before, specifically sound and music, and specifically the industry of film and media, and how the industry works as a business.” Being able to bring her passion for her art to her career at Ball State is an exciting opportunity for Ament. She loves being a part of the campus and believes she’s very fortunate to be part of it. “I don’t know if the students or even some of the faculty really appreciate what a gem Ball State really is,” she said. “This isn’t my first rodeo, and I’m still so impressed. I can’t say enough good things about Ball State.” The millennial generation should know that Ament is on their side. “They’re what’s going to change the trajectory. I don’t know if older generations really get that. I think they are sometimes misunderstanding your generation. I see such imagination and a breaking-out-of-boundaries,” she said. “It can be hard to predict, but I think we’re going to see some drastic [changes] and end up with a very different complexion in the media. I’m not a good futurist, but I’m good at reading people. I am very excited for what may be.”

Editor’s Note: This is the third of four stories to run that will feature the slate leading up to their inauguration. To the future vice president of Student Government Association, Mohandas Gandhi is more than a figure in a history textbook. Her grandfather worked for him, promoting his movement in southern India. Junior international business major Richu Aby was born in Kerala, on the southwestern coast of India. Her grandfather promoted the congregational party and the movement led by Gandhi at the university level, so people would be informed. “Sometimes people ask me where I get my political kick from, and thinking about it now, it’s probably from my grandfather,” Aby said. Aby attended Catholic school in India until her family moved to the northwest side of Chicago in 2000. She learned some English in India because of the tourists in the area. “Learning the language was
COURSE:
| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “I think the fact that the course allows students to provide feedback on their experience taking the course was very helpful and reaffirming for us,” Gibson said. “By and large, the majority of the students who completed the course said, ‘I didn’t know what to expect, I didn’t think I would find this useful, but you know what? It actually was. So thank you.’ We knew this was the right thing to do, but we didn’t know how well it would be received.” Katie Slabaugh, Title IX coordinator for student affairs, said because of the way the program is designed, students aren’t able to just turn it on and walk away; they actually have to be engaged in it. “The impact of this is that you know more than 85 percent of your new students have completed the course, whereas something that this residence hall may offer to this group of students is not necessarily the equivalent,” Slabaugh said. “This has the benefit of one unified piece of the student union.” However, Gibson said measuring the actual effectiveness of the program isn’t practical after only a year of the program. He would like to have at least three years of data before measuring the effectiveness. “There are some initial things we can do, but we can’t really suggest there’s a relationship or a causal relationship,” Gibson said. “It’s very difficult to say it’s because of this course [that’s] why we are experiencing these outcomes.” There also isn’t much research on what an effective sexual violence prevention program needs to consist of. Sarah Van Orman, president of the American College Health Association, said longer programs tend to be more effective, and the longer the exposure, the better. She also stressed having multiple “doses” of education programs.

STUDENT COMMENTS • “it was too long but it kept my interest for a while” • “ I thought the course contained a lot of commonsense information, however, a lot of the statistics and tips were very helpful and new information.” • “The last section on healthy relationships was amazingly enlightening after pulling myself out of an abusive relationship that always criticized that I didn’t know how to be in a relationship, saying their way of being in a good relationship was the RIGHT way.” • “the information was very important and i’m glad i took it, but it was a little long. some of the example dialogues could possibly be trimmed a little to save time.” • “While the course did a great job in explaining many important subjects, I feel like the concepts of gender identity, sexual orientation, and surrounding issues were barely touched on. It would be better if these things were more fully explained and detailed, so that more people could be educated.” “Some of what we know works is that, in general, onesession brief educational programs, those generally are not effective,” she said. “They can be helpful if combined with lots of other things, but by themselves those are not effective.” There are nine effective keys to prevention, according to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, including being comprehensive, having sufficient dose and duration, being socio-culturally relevant and using appropriate teaching methods.

Think About It program with Campus Clarity, students are charged a $100 fine for each of the three parts of the program they don’t do. This also puts a hold on their accounts so they aren’t able to register for classes. “University of San Francisco is currently working on a Talk About It and a Do Something About It campaign, just trying to create more awareness and get student involvement in things like bystander intervention and really trying to create life-long awareness and involvement in causes like this,” said Deeqa Mohamed, a student peer educator at University of San Francisco. They had a 92 percent program completion rate for the 2014-15 school year and have had the program for three years, Mohamed said. Other universities that have the program are University of Texas, University of Idaho and University of Cincinnati. University of Texas doesn’t allow students who haven’t completed the program to view their grades. University of Idaho and University of Cincinnati both use incentives and drawings to motivate students to complete the program. While Ball State doesn’t have incentives to finish the program, throughout the school year the university offers other programs to help educate students, such as Red Zone, Step In. Speak Up., the University Police Department’s Rape Aggression Defense System class, Green Dot and other programs offered through Housing and Residence Life. Slabaugh said each residence hall is required to offer one prevention program per semester. Having those extra programs paired with the Think About It course would make the university’s overall education system more effective, Van Orman said, since students are repeatedly exposed to the information. Slabaugh said universities will always want to be able to have more sexual assault prevention programs. She said she wants to focus more on student engagement and get-

There are new students to always be bringing into awareness and upper-class students being influential on them.” After going through the course, students were able to leave comments on what they thought of it. Gibson said there were 606 comments. Some comments said the course was too long, or that the course was all commonsense information, but overall, Gibson said the comments were positive. “Great way to go about this topic,” one of the comments read. “Hated it at first, but allin-all, it wasn’t so bad.”

people are already starting to come to her with their problems. “I am confident that I can help these people, and that is my intention,” she said. “Even if it’s a challenge, I am excited about that, and so I am happy to be in the position. It’s an honor.” Aby is used to helping students consistently as a resident assistant in Baker Hall. Matt King, a sophomore emerging media major and resident assistant in Baker Hall, said Aby cares about others. “I have never met a person who cares about someone so much,” King said. “She will take the time out of her day to walk you to class.” Even though she is from Chicago and has no ties to Indiana, she loves Ball State and the community, King said. After graduation, Aby plans to return to India to help her uncle with the orphanage that he and his church have started. “I am really passionate about service, and I wanted to give back to my community,” Aby said. “There is a huge need in orphanages. Since my uncle runs this orphanage, I think I can make the most impact.”
SGA POINT STARTS NEW TRADITION A new athletics tradition for students will begin in the Fall 2015 semester.

Vice President Bryan Kubel made the announcement at the SGA senate on April 8 that students will form a “B” at the first home football game Sept. 3. SGA is collaborating with Athletics, the Pride of Mid-America Marching Band, welcome week and the office of orientation to initiate this new tradition. “This is something new and something that’ll be cool for Ball State,” Kubel said. Originally, the plan was to have incoming students create the “B” at orientation, but since it will be during the football game, all students are encouraged to participate. “Eventually, we hope to put this program in freshman welcome week events,” Kubel said. This point was originally allocated $150, but it was increased to $800, Kubel said. The money will go to pay for the photographer and for post game security. The photo will be made into a poster and handed out to students. – RAYMOND GARCIA

Sole male Zumba instructor praises workout’s diversity
DEJA STUDDARD STAFF REPORTER
No one can stand still at a Wednesday evening Zumba class in the Jo Ann Gora Student Recreation and Wellness Center. That’s not uncommon for an exercise class based on dance movements, but there is something different about the course—the gender of the instructor. Luke Schumaker is the sole male Zumba instructor for BSU Fit classes. He said he’s excited about being the only one. “I hope it sends the message that Zumba is for everyone,” the chemistry and Spanish major said. “Anyone can do Zumba and benefit from it in some way.”

Angie Vanderluit, the administrative coordinator for Women’s and Gender Studies, said society determines what certain genders can or cannot do and that dancing is sometimes perceived as feminine. “Exercises that are considered masculine tend to bulk up the body, but when we think of feminine exercises, we tend to slim down the body,” she said. But Zumba isn’t easy, Schumaker said. “You’re using every muscle in your body. After I get done, I look like a bucket of water got dropped over me,” he said. Schumaker started exercising by running and following workout DVDs, but he couldn’t get into them. Three years ago, he started taking Zumba at the YMCA with his sister. “I looked at the instructor, and I thought, ‘I’m never going to be that smooth,’” he said. As he attended more classes, the fastpaced movements became easier for him to handle. In August, he became a certified instructor, and in September, he began teaching courses at Ball State. This semester, he leads three classes each week. On Wednesday, he’s the only male in the room. Jingyao Wang, a student of Schumaker’s, normally has a female instructor for Zumba, but she said she enjoys Schumaker as a teacher. “It’s pretty different from a female [instructor],” she said. “I think it’s cool.” Schumaker may be different, but that’s in line

Alberto Perez, a male Columbian dancer and choreographer, created the workout in the 1990s. “Part of what makes Zumba so special is that every class celebrates diversity,” Schumaker said. “In order for there to be a true Zumba class, the music of the class must consist of various international rhythms.” Zumba’s choreography incorporates different styles of hip-hop, soca, samba, salsa, merengue and mambo.

Comedy group recreates improv festival ABSO revives event after performing at Music & Memory DARA METCALFE STAFF REPORTER | djmetcalfe@bsu.edu Ball State’s 24-year-old improv comedy group has had plenty of time to entertain students over the years, but no improv festival of their own to perform in. So the group created one. “This is the first big festival that any of us have experienced here, and we just want it to be the best it can be for the next,” said Caleb Day, a member of ABSO Improv Comedy and a senior telecommunications major. Ball State has hosted improv festivals before. In the 2000s, Bob and Tom and

ABSO Improv Comedy decided to create Midwest Improv Fest after performing at Music & Memory’s “A Night to Remember.” The festival begins at 10 p.m. on Saturday, and the show costs $2.
“National Lampoon” sponsored the Bestival Midwestival Improvisational Comedy Festival. The last mention of the festival on Ball State’s
website was in 2004. The nine members of ABSO decided to revive the festival last year after performing at Music & Memory’s “A Night to Remember.” “It was a really good turn out, and [we got] a lot of good feedback from that show,” said Russell Stewart, a sophomore telecommunications major. An improv festival at Ball State might not be a completely new concept, but

ABSO gave their event a differentname—the Midwest Improv Fest. Organizing an improv festival turned out to have its challenges. Stewart said getting the word out to other improv troupes was the hardest part. “Once we told them about it, they were ecstatic about the event and wanted to go,” he said. Midwest Improv Fest will feature two out-of-state improv troupes: The Plastic Shatners from Bowling Green, Ohio, and Trap Door Improv from Central Michigan, Mich. Sam Webb, a stand-up comedian, will emcee the event.
Quartet
Alex Cabala, the leader of Trap Door Improv, said he was looking forward to Saturday’s festival. “We are really excited to work with more college improv troupes and meet more amazing improvers,” he said. ABSO alumni often come to see the group perform, and some will attend and perform at the event. “One of the coolest things is that one of the founding fathers came [and] said, ‘Wow, I started this 25 years ago just to have a good time with my friends; I can’t believe what you guys blossomed into,’” Stewart said.
“...redefines the sound of chamber music.”

Stockton told her best friends about her diagnosis, who then told the rest of the sorority about it a few days later. “That was huge, because that’s a really scary thing to tell the people you love,” Stockton said. That day, her sorority sisters created a GoFundMe to help her family pay for medical bills. Stockton said they all started sharing it on social media, which is how the word got out. “We’re so grateful, and they’ve been so helpful,” Stockton said. “Cancer is not only hard, but financially trying. It’s been really helpful.” But her sisters were there for more than just the monetary support. They also gave emotional support on the harder days for Stockton.

BOOKSTORE ADDS ‘STAR WARS’ APPAREL Walking into the Ball State University Bookstore, nothing seems out of place. Popular reads on the right, a slew of red and black gear on the left and office supplies in the back. Recently, however, the university added a new addition: “Star Wars” apparel. The Ball State Bookstore stocked new black and red “Star Wars”themed T-shirts a week ago as a nod to Star Wars Day. May 4 is the official holiday of “Star Wars,” established to celebrate “the force,” according to the “Star Wars” website. The holiday was first celebrated in 1979. Popularity spawned from the pun, “May the fourth be with you,” according to the site. “We all kind of talked about it and thought it would be pretty funny,” said employee Kasha Tabor, a junior criminal justice major. Joshua Martin, general merchandise manager, made the final decision to order the shirts, Tabor said. Ball State is not affiliated with the “Star Wars” franchise, nor are the shirts exclusive to the university. Champion, a company that manufactures apparel, owns the design. “Champion had that license, and May the fourth is coming up so we thought it would work out well,” Martin said. “Other universities carry the same shirts.” The new additions are considered seasonal, Martin said. “They’re something different,” he said. – LAURA ARWOOD

His high school volleyball coach, Joe Gillespie, saw his potential and helped develop his game while promoting him to club teams in the area. He attended club tryouts with Welsh-White and even made recruiting videos to promote his game. Ball State men’s volleyball coach, Joel Walton, saw the videos, piquing his interest in the 6-foot-7 middle attacker. “The year that we recruited [Welsh-White], we were looking for another middle attacker,” Walton said. “We were watching videos, and his video stood out. He’s quick, has a quick arm swing, he’s tall — he fit a lot of the

Ball State football coach Pete Lembo has announced former letter-winners Tom Broderick and Kurt Humes will serve as honorary coaches for the team’s spring game. Humes played for the Cardinals from 1973 to 1975. He was a member of the school’s first-ever Mid-American Conference team in 1975 for coach Dave McClain. Broderick was a member of the Ball State football team from 1976 to 1979. He played on two MAC championship teams in 1976 and 1978. “We have made an effort to introduce some new football program traditions since arriving four years ago,” Lembo said in a statement. “One of these is to honor two former players or coaches by having them on the sideline with the team for the spring game. [Broderick] and [Humes] represent a highly successful era of Ball State football in the mid- to late-1970s. They are also great examples of football alumni who have stayed connected with the program and give back to the university.” Ball State’s spring schedule will conclude with the spring game on April 18 at Scheumann Stadium. The team’s 2015 season opener will be on Sept. 3 vs. Virginia Military Institute.
