or four seasons, three former Cardinals have played their hearts out for the Ball State baseball program. As their college eligibility ended May 23, Sean Godfrey, T.J. Weir and Nestor Bautista will now look to the 2014 First-Year Player Draft as they hope to be chosen by a Major League Baseball organization. “We are keeping our fingers crossed for [Weir and Bautista],” head coach Rich Maloney said. “I’m certain Godfrey will be selected.”
The draft starts today and runs until Saturday, and it will be on MLB Network. The first day will consist of the first two rounds, with the third through the 10th rounds Friday and the final 30 rounds Saturday.

Community talks where to draw line FRESHMEN LEARN Privacy, surveillance OF LIFELINE LAW top panel discussion Orientation requires discussion, details on state legislation PAYNE HORNING STAFF REPORTER | prhorning@bsu.edu

Governmental surveillance, data collection and where the line should be drawn were the center of discussion for professionals and Muncie citizens Wednesday. “One of the challenges in our history is that the tools, [or] the powers, the government uses are used in a way that are consistent with the privacy we hold dear,” said Jane Henegar, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana. One year ago, Edward Snowden leaked thousands of documents on the National Security Agency activities and methods of surveillance and data collection. Twenty-five years ago today, an unknown number of people were murdered at China’s Tiananmen Square. It is estimated 500 to 2,600 were murdered. The Chinese government has since then taken major steps to hide that part of its history, which has gone so far as to delete references to the event on LinkedIn.

Sue Errington talk during the panel discussion Wednesday at the Innovation Connector. The panel discussion was part of the First Wednesdays Discussions.
An informal survey conducted by NPR’s Louisa Lim found that 15 out of 100 students from Beijing University recognized the iconic photo of the man in front of a tank, a photo that symbolized the events of the Tiananmen Square protests and massacre. These two events have one encompassing topic in common at the core of their controversy: surveillance, privacy, information and how governments control it.
CASHEWS COME FROM THE CASHEW APPLE.
The Muncie community discussed these topics Wednesday at the Innovation Connector. The talk featured a panel moderated by Phil Bremen, associate professor of journalism at Ball State, and featured Henegar, State Rep. Sue Errington and Rich Hanson, government and regulatory affairs representative for the Academy of Model Aeronautics. The ACLU’s job is to hold the government accountable to those promises it makes to

its people about their rights, Henegar said. “The Fourth Amendment basically says the government can only get in our business when they have a good reason to,” she said. “There are standards, probable cause, et cetera. If you are going to find out personal stuff about us we aren’t already putting out on Facebook, then you have to get a search warrant.”

As incoming freshmen begin their orientation this summer, they will be the first class to learn about a law that could help save their lives. This is the first year that the university requires Summer Orientation leaders to inform the freshmen of the Lifeline Law. This law attempts to save people suffering from a medical emergency by providing immunity to certain crimes for bystanders who call for help and cooperate with law enforcement. The Indiana General Assembly passed the law in 2012. “We decided that, with our partnership with Ball State [Student Government Association], this was something very important and critical for our leaders to pass onto students,” said Lindsey Speer, director of the Office of Orientation. Speer said while training orientation leaders in the past, the law had been discussed, but this

ORIENTATION, LIFELINE • Ball State now requires Summer Orientation leaders to learn the Lifeline Law and inform incoming students and their parents about it. • The Office of Orientation’s change comes in part due to a Student Government Association legislation requesting leaders receive training. • This year, students and orientation leaders will discuss it in the “College 360” session. In the future, it will have its own session. year will mark the first formal training on the Lifeline Law. This is in part due to SGA, which passed legislation requiring the training session for orientation leaders. Alyssa France, former SGA vice president, and Jack Hesser, former president pro tempore, co-authored the bill. Both parents and students will learn about the Lifeline Law during their separate tours with orientation leaders. Bryan Kubel, a junior orientation leader, was a co-sponsor of the SGA legislation. He said teaching freshmen is a necessary component of their orientation at Ball State. THE PULSE OF BALL STATE
