Cleveland Browns signs former record-breaking wide receiver after not selecting him in draft

DAKOTA CRAWFORD STAFF REPORTER | @DakotaCrawford_

E

xpectations of being selected between rounds three and five of the NFL Draft proved too lofty for a former Ball State wide receiver. Willie Snead forwent his senior season at Ball State after registering 1,516 yards and 15 touchdowns in his junior campaign. Snead felt his stock was as high as it would ever be and declared for the NFL Draft. Teams had expressed interest in the 5-foot-11 receiver, so Snead said he believed he would be among the top of a deep class of receivers. Instead, he watched three receivers go in round three, including fellow Mid-American Conference product Dri Archer who went to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Five more receivers went in the fourth round. Three more in round five. Snead watched with friends and family as team after team passed over his name. “It’s been a long three days,” Snead said after the NFL Draft. “When it didn’t happen, I was sitting there looking at the TV just puzzled.” Snead released a sigh of relief when the Cleveland Browns called before the seventh round. The Browns again expressed interest after being the only team to reach out to Snead at the NFL Combine in February. The team planned to use its final draft pick on Snead. “[Cleveland] called me and told me I was on their draft board, and they really wanted me,” he said. See SNEAD, page 5

Former Ball State players chosen during 2014 NFL Draft Former Colts GM says Newsome has abilities like linebacker Mathis MATT M KINNEY AND ANTHONY LOMBARDI | sports@bsudailynews.com c

For the first time since 2009, a Ball State player’s name was called in the NFL Draft. The Indianapolis Colts selected former Ball State defensive end Jonathan Newsome in the fifth round. One round later, record-setting quarterback Keith Wenning was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens with

the 18th pick Saturday.

NEWSOME

After transferring from Ohio State, Newsome played in 23 games during his two seasons at Ball State, accumulating 116 total tackles, 16.5 sacks and two forced fumbles. Newsome was named to the All-MidAmerican Conference Second Team in 2012 and was an All-MAC First Team selection in 2013. In August 2012, Newsome was arrested for marijuana possession and was due in court for attempting to shoplift male enhancement pills from Walmart in Muncie. “[The Colts] see Robert Mathis-like

abilities here,” said former Colts general manager Bill Polian on ESPN’s broadcast of the draft. “He’s not as fast as Robert. That will tell the tale. Is he fast enough for the NFL?” Newsome didn’t hear Polian say that about him, but he’s ready to work with Mathis. “I’m going to be his little brother,” Newsome said in a conference call. “He doesn’t know it yet, but I’m going to be like his little brother around there. ... I know he led the league in sacks last year and that’s really just what I love to do; I love to sack the quarterback. So why not learn from the best?” The 6-foot-3, 247-pound Newsome

I feel like he is a great quarterback that I can learn from.” Wenning played four years at Ball State, graduating May 3 as the school’s most decorated passer. In 49 games, Wenning owns the school record with 11,402 passing yards, 1,035 completions and 92 touchdowns. At the NFL Combine, Wenning ran a 5.00 40-yard dash, posted a 28inch vertical jump and a 100-inch broad jump.

Newsome looks to be an outside linebacker in the Colts’ 3-4 scheme. “Well, it wouldn’t be that much of a transition,” he said. “When we ran 3-4, I was an outside linebacker and I stood up a lot in our defense. Even when we were in 4-3, I stood up on the edge. So it wouldn’t be a problem. I can do all that stuff.”

Pittenger Student Center northeast entrance and parking garage and Shafer Tower. Emens Parking Structure construction will begin June 23 and is set to finish July 30. It will remain open during the repairs of the third and fourth floor, however, 40 parking spaces will be closed on those floors. The southeast one-way

drive will be closed from June 27 until July 30. Repairs on the Student Center garage and northeast entrance began May 5. The parking garage will remain open, though 30 parking spaces will be closed. The work is predicted to finish June 20. The northeast entrance will be closed and reopen Aug. 8. Shafer Tower’s repairs also began May 5 and are planned to finish Aug. 8. Repairs will close the sidewalks and seating areas at the base of the tower.

City sees summer closings, openings Village businesses shut down, Muncie gains burgers, thrift

CHRISTOPHER STEPHENS CHIEF REPORTER castephens@bsu.edu

This summer, Muncie will say goodbye to some businesses while making way for new ones.

Grandma Betty’s

Grandma Betty’s will not reopen after a man broke in and stole equipment. Business owner Jeannine Lee Lake said she was not able to recover all of the equipment that was stolen in the February break-in. A loss of profit and problems related to the crime also led to losing her space on University Avenue. “We weren’t able to get all of the money we thought we were [going to recover after the break-in],” Lake said. “But I think right now, we have been in business for 10 years, and we think it’s time to close.” She said closing her business doesn’t mean she won’t sell her signature ice cream and treats this summer. She will be present at many summer festivals, including Black Expo in Indianapolis, Minnetrista events in Muncie and others. Lake said she is unsure what will become of her former space in the Village and doesn’t plan to open another shop any time soon.

Hiatt

Hiatt Printing will close its location close to campus Friday. Chris Hiatt, owner, said he has worked out a deal with the T.I.S.

Students and professors NEW HOURS a.m.-10 p.m. will be able to 8 daily pick up their materials at the bookstore or at Hiatt’s other location on Wheeling Avenue. “We think it’s going to be a good thing,” he said. “But it’s unfortunate to lose that presence after 28 years. It is what it is.” Hiatt said he doesn’t have any plans to open up another location but “you never say never.” The location on Wheeling Avenue will have longer hours to accommodate students, he said.

Goodwill

Southside Muncie shoppers looking to save a little money have one more option.

After 57 years of business, a Muncie recreation area will be sold to the highest bidder tonight and could be used for intense industrialization. Don and Barbara Irving, owners of Muncie’s Water Bowl, are auctioning off the nine-acre water bowl and surrounding 160 acres. While the location has been

used as a way to cool off during the summer, the 169-acre site was zoned for intense industrial since 1973. Although the area is technically zoned for intense industrial use, that doesn’t mean it will be industrialized, said Marta Moody, executive director of the Delaware-Muncie Metropolitan Plan Commission. “The zoning sets forth a lot of different permitted uses,” she said. “It doesn’t necessarily mean that there are plans to industrialize it.” The zoning is “intense industrial,” which means it can be used for commercial or industrial use. According to the

City of Muncie Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance Article XXIV, the Intense Industrial Zone was created to accommodate “heavy manufacturing uses.” This includes slaughtering and food processing, manufacturing of chemicals, storage of petroleum products, fat rendering and fertilizer manufacturing. “We’ve got two industrial zones,” Moody said. “Limited industrial would allow commercial use as well as industrial use, but the industrial use would have to be all enclosed. With intense industrial, it’s the same situation

where you can have commercial use as well as industrial use, but the industrial uses can be more open.” So far, most of the interest regarding the land involves the farm ground and not the Water Bowl itself, said Mark Smithson, an agent with Schrader Real Estate and Auction Co. He said it would be nice if someone stepped up and kept the historical recreation site running. “There’s nothing else like it in the area,” Smithson said. The public auction will be at 6 tonight at the Delaware County Fairgrounds.

ATHLETIC RENOVATIONS

The football meeting room will undergo renovations. It is located on the west end of football training facility. The total cost of the facility will be between $1.5 million to $2 million. The baseball and softball fields will begin phase one of renovations — about $1.1 million to $1.5 million and will include in-field turf and dug out construction.

ELEVATORS

Over the course of the summer, the university will repair

about 13 elevators in LaFollette Complex, Bracken Library and West Quad, costing about $1 million. Renovations include replacing motors, cables, control panels and other elevator safety or technical components. Lowe said Ball State could do more next summer. The library elevators began renovations Tuesday and are predicted to open Aug. 1. The West Quad elevator underwent renovations Friday and was expected to finish by 6 tonight.

BOARD RENAMES REC CENTER FOR GORA The Board of Trustees recently renamed the recreation complex to the Jo Ann Gora Student Recreation and Wellness Center. The change was announced May 3 during President Jo Ann Gora’s retirement celebration in the rec center. “Her true legacy will live on in our university, which is forever changed by her leadership,” a press release said. Response to the building’s name change on Twitter ranged from congratulations to jokes. “The rec center being named after Jo Ann Gora is the best news I’ve heard all day,” @ itsstephaniee tweeted. “‘See ya guys, I’m off to get swoll at jo-go’s.’” Earlier in the day at Spring Commencement, Gora gave her tearful closing remarks, saying she felt like she was part of the Class of 2014 and that she would always remain a Cardinal. Once she finished speaking, the graduates stood up to “chirp” for her. Gora responded with the chirp sign. – STAFF REPORTS

BASEBALL

Walk-off hit highlights Senior Day Victory gives coach all-time wins mark in school history ANTHONY LOMBARDI SPORTS EDITOR | @Lombardi_Dial8 For 10 seniors on the Ball State baseball team, Sunday’s 9-8 walk-off victory over Kent State would mark the last time they would play on their home field. “It’s exciting but sad all at the same time,” senior Kyle Raleigh said after the game. “This is [the] last time we’re ever going to get to play on Ball Diamond. ... I’m really happy [the team] pulled it out on Mother’s Day. It was a

SOFTBALL

great win.” Trailing 8-5 to begin the ninth, freshman pinch-hitter Caleb Stayton led off the inning with a base hit to start Ball State’s rally. After Stayton reached, right fielder Alex Call laced a single of his own. Two batters later, senior center fielder Sean Godfrey was hit by a pitch to load the bases with one out. Freshman catcher Jarett Rindfleisch followed Godfrey’s hit by pitch with a two-run double to cut the deficit to one run. Freshman third baseman Sean Kennedy delivered a RBI single to tie the game at eight. After Raleigh flied out for the second out of the inning, it was up to freshman short-

stop Alex Maloney to win the game. As he has done on several occasions throughout his season, he came through with a sun-aided bloop single to right field to give the Cardinals its first sweep of the Golden Flashes in over a decade. “You got to believe every time,” Raleigh said. “Every single person on this team day in and day out puts in the work, puts in the time, and we never quit. That’s the thing about our team, we’re a bunch of rats. ... We are ready to play anytime.” The win was of special significance — head coach Rich Maloney set the program’s record for all-time wins by a coach with 324.

“It’s very gratifying to have an honor like that,” Maloney said on breaking the school’s record. “But what would be more gratifying is the championship. [Ball State] has three and we want this one pretty bad, and I want this for these seniors.” Ball State has three games left in the season, a road series against Northern Illinois, before the conference tournament begins. “All of these guys are going to be my best friends for life,” Raleigh said. “We’re going to another journey. Some are going to get a chance to play at the next level, some aren’t. But we will always have this to be a part of together.”

Coach, players recognized for year’s success Tournament defeat results in team falling short of Perry’s goal JAKE FOX STAFF REPORTER | jkfox@bsu.edu Under first-year head coach Tyra Perry, the 2014 Ball State softball team went 33-19 and continued to establish itself as a prominent Midwest softball program. However, the team lost in the Mid-American Conference Tournament to Northern Illinois on Friday. Perry, who previously served as the head coach at Western Kentucky for six seasons, was named the conference coach of

the year by her peers. “To have that type of respect from such a great group of women was amazing,” she said. “I’m greatly appreciative of it.” After beginning the season with a heavy dose of non-conference games, Perry’s Cardinals were a force to be reckoned with in conference play. The team won eight of its final nine conference games to finish 12-4 in the MAC and claim the regular season title. It was Ball State’s third consecutive MAC regular season championship and fifth in school history. Senior Jennifer Gilbert said it was important to win the MAC title again. “It means everything,” she said. “Going out your senior

year and winning a conference title one more time is probably the best way to end it.” Ball State also dominated the MAC postseason awards. The Cardinals earned a record five players to be named to the All-MAC First Team, one second-team player and two league specialty awards. Gilbert finished her decorated career at Ball State by being named to the All-MAC First Team, as well as being named the MAC Player of the Year for the third straight season, a first in conference history. Seniors Taylor Rager and Audrey Bickel and sophomores Briana Evans and Sammi Cowger also were named to the AllMAC First Team. It was Rager’s third time being selected, while

Bickel, Evans and Cowger all made their first appearances on the team. Sophomore pitcher Nicole Steinbach made the All-MAC Second Team for her second time. Despite the individual accolades, Ball State fell short of its ultimate goal and was eliminated from the MAC postseason tournament after losing two of three games. Perry said she is focused on the future as a strong incoming freshman class has her excited to get next season underway. “Of our All-MAC selections, a lot of them were our senior class and they are well deserved,” she said. “But we have a great group of young ladies returning that are hungry and ready to work.”

SNEAD: Browns sign player as undrafted free agent | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 The team planned to use its final draft pick on Snead. “[Cleveland] called me and told me I was on their draft board, and they really wanted me,” he said. That would have made him the third Ball State player of the day to be selected. The Indianapolis Colts selected former defensive end Jonathan Newsome in the fifth round and the Baltimore Ravens selected former quarterback Keith Wenning in the sixth. The last time Ball State had three players drafted was 2005. Unfortunately for Snead, the Browns traded that seventhround pick to the Baltimore Ravens. Snead didn’t have to face the reality of being undrafted for long. The Browns called again, this time telling Snead the team wanted to sign him. Suddenly, Snead’s dream of playing in the NFL had become a reality. “I was speechless at first,” he said. “I’m blessed to be in an organization like this.” After meeting with the Browns at the NFL Combine, Snead said he felt like the pairing was “meant to be.” In the meantime, the undersized wide receiver is left to prove himself as ready for the NFL.

DRAFT: Wenning prepares to fight for backup spot

| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Wenning is expected to compete with Tyrod Taylor in training camp for the backup position to Flacco. On the ESPN draft broadcast, analyst Todd McShay said Wenning is a “developmental prospect.” “He can work on his mechanics,” McShay said. “He doesn’t always step to his targets. He doesn’t always transfer his weight, but those are correctable things.” Ravens’ general manager Ozzie Newsome said Wenning can be insurance in case Baltimore’s current backup, Taylor, leaves after the 2014 season. “To already have someone here to start to develop, to work with Joe, I think is a very positive thing,” Newsome said. McShay went on to say that the positives of Wenning are his measurables. Wenning has prototypical size at 6-foot-3 and 220 pounds. McShay also praised the fact that Wenning was a fouryear starter at Ball State.

Ticket prices increase if they are not paid within 10 business days and a hold is placed on transcripts and class signups until they are paid off. Ball State’s prices are similar to parking violation fees of Indiana University and Purdue University. IU charges $50 for parking in the wrong lot and $25 for staying too long at a meter. A ticket costs $35 at Purdue for the same violations. Wray said she doesn’t think Parking Services is too strict. “There is no quota on park-

ABDUCTED WOMAN IN NIGERIA SCARED TO GO TO SCHOOL

BAUCHI, Nigeria (AP) — One of the teenagers who escaped from Islamic extremists who abducted more than 300 schoolgirls says the kidnapping was “too terrifying for words,” and she is now scared to go back to school. Sarah Lawan, a 19-year-old science student, spoke Sunday as Nigerians prayed for the safety of the 276 students still held captive. Their prayers were joined by Pope Francis. “Let us all join in prayer for the immediate release of the schoolgirls kidnapped in Nigeria,” the Roman Catholic leader tweeted, using the trending #BringBackOurGirls. Lawan told The Associated Press that more of the girls could have escaped but that they were frightened by their captors’ threats to shoot them. The failure to rescue those who remain captive four weeks later has attracted mounting national and international outrage. Nigeria was forced to accept international help in the search, after ignoring offers for weeks. More experts are expected in Nigeria to help rescue the girls, including U.S. hostage negotiators and others from Britain, France, China and Spain. “I am pained that my other colleagues could not summon the courage to run away with me,” Lawan said. “Now I cry each time I come across their parents and see how they weep when they see me.” Police say 53 students have escaped. Nigeria’s homegrown Boko Haram terrorist network is threatening to sell those who remain in captivity into slavery. There have been reports that some of the girls have been forced into marriage with their abductors, who paid a nominal bride price of $12, and that some have been carried across borders into Cameroon and Chad. –

The first violation was after Super Bowl Sunday this year. He moved his car so he could take it to church that morning, but he forgot about it because of the game. The next morning, he found two tickets for $30 each. “I definitely think at least their system should be changed up a bit, for how they go about giving tickets,” Summers said. “Both times, I’ve gotten two tickets, even though [my car] was really only there for [one day].” He said he would like the uni-
