Students from across country gather to learn at Music For All ALAN HOVORKA CHIEF REPORTER | afhovorka@bsu.edu
Wide-eyed high school students packed into Sursa Hall on Saturday for the first day of a national band camp on Ball State’s campus. “The first and last job in leadership is ‘Thank you,’” Fran Kick, leadership coordinator for Music For All, said to an audience of more than 500 during the welcoming meeting for the leadership camp that kicked off the 39th annual Summer Symposium. The camp will draw more than 1,000 high school music students and directors to Ball State until this Saturday. Just half of the attendees were on campus for the opening weekend because of the leadership camp. The rest will arrive today. Kick said to the first arrivals that leadership is “all about attitude and gratitude.” To illustrate this point, he talked about the most powerful gesture an audience can give to performers: the standing ovation. Kick picked one student from the crowd and made her stand on stage and introduce herself to everyone. He asked the audience to cheer as loud and energetically as possible for her. “Did you guys feel that?” he asked. “The more you put into, the more you get out.” Brianna Miller, a drum major from McEachern High School in Georgia, couldn’t agree more with Kick. She said she would listen to his speeches every day if she could.

Groundbreaking marks end of Gora era New football complex opens, as university nears fundraising goals DAKOTA CRAWFORD STAFF REPORTER | dmcrawford@bsu.edu Some people don’t remember the skepticism Jo Ann Gora faced when she was named Ball State’s president a decade ago. She had never worked with a Division I athletic program before, and so the question was raised. Would Gora make athletics a priority? “Literally, in my first year, I raised the money to build Scheumann Stadium, and last year, I raised the money for this Cardinal Commitment campaign,” Gora said. “In the middle, I raised a lot of money for academics and other kinds of campus improvements.”

“It’s a symbol of this campaign, and what I have tried to stress,” she said. The Cardinal Commitment campaign, a fundraising effort of $20 million within Ball State’s athletic department, is nearing its end. The school has surpassed $19 million, Gora said Thursday, proving her point. She said the key to Ball State’s future growth is private donation. State funding alone won’t do the trick, thus making donors like the Venderlys imperative. After years of joining the Venderlys at public events and as passengers on flights to away football games, Gora has bonded with the couple that has been loyal to Ball State. She even gave Ron Venderly a Ball State tie Thursday and made sure he wore it.

RUSSIA’S PRESIDENT CALLS FOR UKRAINE TO COMPROMISE
MOSCOW (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed support for Ukraine’s declaration of a cease-fire in its battle against pro-Russian separatists and called Kiev on both sides to negotiate a compromise. Putin said such a compromise must guarantee the rights of the Russian-speaking residents of eastern Ukraine, who must feel like they are “an integral part” of their own country. Putin’s statement appeared to signal that he sees their future in Ukraine. Separatists in the eastern Donetsk and Luhansk regions have declared independence and asked to join Russia. Moscow has rebuffed their appeals, but is seen by Ukraine and the West as actively supporting the Black insurgency. Putin’s conciliatory words came Sea as Russia began large-scale military exercises and after NATO accused Russia of moving troops back toward the Ukrainian border. Putin appears determined to keep up the pressure to force the Kiev government to give the eastern industrial regions more powers.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Already pilloried for long wait times for medical appointments, the beleaguered Department of Veterans Affairs has fallen short of another commitment: to attend to the needs of the rising ranks of female veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, many of them of child-bearing age. Even the head of the VA’s office of women’s health acknowledges that persistent shortcomings remain in caring for the 390,000 female vets seen last
year at its hospitals and clinics — despite an investment of more than $1.3 billion since 2008, including the training of hundreds of medical professionals in the fundamentals of treating the body. Nationwide, nearly one in four VA hospitals does not have a fulltime gynecologist on staff. About 140 of the 920 community-based clinics serving veterans in rural areas don’t have a designated women’s health provider, despite the goal that every clinic would.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Lawyers have been given the green light to scan the social media sites of jurors. The American Bar Association said it’s ethical for lawyers to scour online for publicly available musings of citizens called for jury service — and even jurors in deliberations. The nationwide lawyers group for the first time is addressing how deeply attorneys, their investigators and their consultants can probe for information
that might show leanings of potential jurors or unearth juror misconduct. Jurors’ online postings have disrupted many legal proceedings over the years, causing mistrials and special hearings over the effects of Facebook musings, tweets and blog writings about their trial experiences. “It’s like any other publicly available information,” said Donald Lundberg, an Indianapolis attorney who helped draft the ABA’s opinion.

BAGHDAD (AP) — Sunni militants on Sunday captured two border crossings, one along the frontier with Jordan and the other with Syria, security and military officials said, as they pressed on with their offensive in one of Iraq’s most restive regions. The fall dealt Iraq’s embattled Shiite prime minister a further blow and brought the war to the doorstep of Jordan, a key ally of the United States that also borders embattled Syria to its north.
SEATTLE (AP) — U.S. women’s soccer star goalkeeper Hope Solo was arrested at a suburban Seattle home on suspicion of assaulting her sister and 17-year-old nephew, but her attorney insisted that Solo herself was a victim in the altercation. “Hope is not guilty of any crime,” attorney Todd Maybrown said in an email to The Associated Press. “In fact, our investigation reveals that Hope was assaulted and injured during this

The blitz by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant in Iraq’s vast western desert takes the al-Qaida-breakaway group closer to its dream of carving out a purist Islamic state straddling both Syria and Iraq. If they succeed in their quest, they could further unsettle the already volatile Middle East and serve as a magnet for Jihadists from across the world — much like al-Qaida attracted extremists in Taliban-ruled Afghanistan.

MAYORS USE NATURE AGAINST CHANGE HOUSTON (AP) — Mayors from the GOP-dominated states of Texas and Arizona are calling on cities to use nature to fight the impacts of climate change, even while Republican governors and lawmakers repeatedly question the science that shows human-caused pollution contributes to global warming. As conservative governors criticize the EPA’s new rules designed to cut greenhouse gas emissions from power plants, the mayors are taking steps and spending money to stem the damage. Attendees of the U.S. Conference of Mayors will vote today on a resolution that encourages cities to use natural solutions to “protect freshwater supplies, defend the nation’s coastlines, maintain a healthy tree cover and protect air quality,” sometimes by partnering with nonprofits. It’s being backed by Austin Mayor Lee Leffingwell, Houston Mayor Annise Parker and Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton — all Democrats. Since the conference is almost evenly divided between Republicans and Democrats, and the resolution “encourages” steps rather than mandating action, Leffingwell said it will easily be approved since it quickly passed through the committee Friday. “The best strategy is not to get involved in partisan politics,” said Leffingwell, who noted that Texas Gov. Rick Perry may be a climate-change skeptic, but he still supported the state’s move to invest $2 billion in water infrastructure after a debilitating drought in 2011. –

You make so many connections just by smiling and saying thank you.”

LANGUAGE: Students tackle more material each day compared to academic year
“Language learning is generally a long, drawn-out process that takes months or even years,” Luke said. “With the intensive German program ... students just handle much more material each day.” Ball State’s summer German classes isn’t its only intensive language program. The university hosts the Intensive English Institute for nonnative speakers to learn English in seven weeks. Indiana University has its Summer Language Workshop that teaches people a full year’s worth of language in eight- and nine-week summer sessions. This year, the workshop provided Arabic, Hindi-Urdu, Hungarian, Mongolian, Persian, Polish, Russian, Swahili, Tatar, Turkish and Uzbek. This workshop, which is not limited to IU students, has classes daily with two hours of language table per week and extracurricular cultural activities.

MUSIC: Camp’s opening weekend helps prepare students to lead back at school “Seeing him in action is crazy,” she said. “You laugh, then you kind of get sad and then you are happy again. With Fran Kick, it’s always a good time.” This is her second year at the Summer Symposium, and Miller said she understands where the staff is coming from with their philosophy. When drum majors go back to their band, they treat everyone as a leader. “If everyone has a bad attitude about it, the camp or band isn’t going to be as good,” she said. “The effort depends on us and the effort we put into it. I think everyone loves the camp and puts so much into it and that’s what makes it amazing.” For Jeremiah Wooten, a drum major for Franklin High School in Tennessee, what made him come back for his third year is “the excitement of the big band family.” “We’re all from different schools and I know a lot of these people,” Wooten said. “I’ve competed against them and I wish I could have beaten them. But when you’re here, you realize they’re normal band kids just like me. They’re struggling out there in the heat. They’re wanting water just as much as you are.” It’s the connections that campers create that make the experience worthwhile, Miller said. “It makes you motivated to want your band to be like that,” she said. “Everyone here is just here to make themselves better and their

About two-thirds of Indiana’s 2012 high school graduates went to college in the year after high school graduation, according to a new Indiana Department of Education study. This year’s College Readiness Report shows improvements in 2012, the most recent data, for the number of students attending secondary education as well as the college-preparedness level for the state’s graduating seniors. “While we are encouraged that the numbers are moving in the right direction, we must maintain our sense of urgency to ensure that every Indiana student finishes high school with a diploma that equips them for college and career success,” Teresa Lubbers, commissioner for Indiana Commission for Higher Education, said in the release. Lubbers said too many students need remediation for English and math courses when they reach college, and these credits don’t count toward a degree. “[This] extends the time it takes them to graduate, increases the cost of their degrees and reduces the likelihood that they graduate at all,” she said in the release.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED: • A hardcover book • Wax paper • Masking tape • A paintbrush • An exacto knife • Felt or other fabric • Sandpaper • Heavy duty craft glue or a hot glue gun and glue
Columnist transforms books into inconspicuous hiding spots One of the best parts about crafting is the ability to take seemingly useless items and turn them into something that is one of a kind. A classic example of this is taking old books and making book safes out of them. They can be used as jewelry boxes or as a convenient way to hide things in plain sight. The process is simple and worth it, but it’s a bit messy and time consuming. I like to check out thrift stores and auctions for interesting looking books. I once came across old textbooks from the 1910s, which worked well. Make sure whichever book you use is hardcover and at least an inch thick. This is needed to ensure that the book will have stability once it is gutted.
Using waxed paper and masking tape, cover the front and back covers of the book. Make sure the edges of the pages are clean and pressed together. Using Modge Podge, cover the page edges to seal them in place. Let this dry overnight then peel the covers from the pages. If you covered them with wax paper the right way, they should come right off.
Mark your cut lines on both sides of the now brick of paper. Make the margins at least a half-inch thick. For larger books, make the marks larger. You also can make special cut marks for the book to hold a specific object.
Find felt or another fabric that will complement the color and style of your book. I like using felt because it’s forgiving and thick enough that any mistakes you made in the cutting process can be hidden.

Start cutting. You might want to try a few different types of knives. Take it slow and steady and don’t cut yourself. Once you’re done, sand the cut edges to make them a bit smoother. First, cut strips that will fit the inside of the well you just created. Using hot glue or another heavy duty craft glue, glue these strips to the inside of the well. Then, using a bigger piece of the felt, cover the back of the book — the bottom of the well that you just created. Glue the edge of the pages to the inside back cover. Let sit overnight before you use.

RATING: HHHII This episode is all about bringing up the division of race that we’ve seen limitedly in the past. As the showers are flooded with sewage in Gloria’s “Spanish Harlem,” she uses her kitchen status to shower before the black inmates in “The Ghetto.” This move breaks the unspo- ONLINE ken social contract and sets into motion a racial war — stealing shoes to keep Gloria and company from getting to work on time to spoiling food with ridiculous amounts of salt for Vee’s group. Still, it’s nothing too harmful or violent, rather closer to humor. While showering in the Ghetto, Maritza discovers the water pressure is better and says, “It’s To read the next like they’re getting special privileges, and we’re the review in the series go to, black people.” bit.ly/1nXoYvC It does get a bit physical, though. Janae trips Daya to retaliate against the salty food, landing the pregnant inmate on the hard ground. Bennett, acting not like a guard but like someone who is in love, slams Janae down to enforce a punishment. Does anyone in Litchfield not know about Daya and Bennett now? It’s pretty obvious. And though Daya’s story with Bennett is one of the least interesting ones of the inmates, I really hope that didn’t hurt the development of the child. Gloria confronts Vee in the bathroom after this. So I braced myself for the inevitable smackdown ... of crying? Vee whines and complains to Gloria, who just like all of us, is not only surprised but slightly repulsed. Vee’s brilliant tears dry up as soon as Gloria leaves. Red tries to tell Gloria she’s being played, but it’s hard to hear from such a high of being in power. You’d think Gloria would want to listen to Red, considering Red’s history with Vee. This episode also reveals Gloria before she landed in Litchfield.

Former assistant takes job at institution Military connection in family, past work takes her to Marion |
ANTHONY LOMBARDI SPORTS EDITOR @Lombardi_Dial8
The opportunity to become the softball head coach for Marion Military Institute was one that former Ball State graduate assistant Sarah Harman found too intriguing to pass up. With a grandfather who used to tell her stories of his time serving during the Korean War and an uncle who is currently a second lieutenant in the Army, Harman has always been somewhat of a patriot. “There is a part of me that has always felt like I wish I was able to have done something to help,” said Harman, a native of Port Clinton, Ohio.
WORLD CUP
While serving as an assistant coach at the University of Dayton, Harman’s interest in a military institution was ignited when the school’s Army ROTC and softball program collaborated for various training activities. “I could see how military and athletics kind of correlates,” she said. “Common goals, team leadership type goals, trying to get through the bigger picture of things and a lot of teamwork. ... That kind of sparked my interest.” After deciding it was time to become a head coach, Harman accepted Marion’s offer and was named the institution’s newest softball coach in late May. As a player, Harman attended Defiance College, a small Division III school located in Defiance, Ohio, where she became one of the program’s alltime greatest pitchers. The team’s MVP her junior and senior seasons, Harman
holds school records for innings pitched, 665.1, and games started, 103. She is second in strikeouts, 381, and ranks third with 72 complete games, 39 wins and eight shutouts. In 2003, she was named the Defiance Purple and Gold Sportsmanship Female Athlete of the Year. Having played at a Division III program, Harman realizes the challenges many small schools face athletically. She said recruiting will be one of the biggest differences now that she is no longer at Dayton. “At first, it’s just going to take some time to explain what Marion has to offer,” she said. “A lot of kids, when they are freshmen and sophomores, their goals are to be Division I. Then later on, they start to realize that maybe they’re not Division I [caliber players]. ... [At Marion], I am going to have to wait for those kids to realize that maybe they
are not going to Division I right away, whether it’s because of grades or because they are not ready yet. It will certainly be different [than at Dayton].” In addition to serving as Dayton’s assistant coach, Harman has spent time as an assistant at Norfolk State and at West Texas A&M, where she became the program’s first full-time assistant. No matter where she has been, Harman has taken it upon herself to give back to the game she loves. She is an active member of the National Fastpitch Coaches Association, a 2008 graduate of the Women’s Coaches Academy, a committee member of the NCAA Division II Softball World Series in 2008 and served as a game liaison for the Mid-Atlantic region. “I think it’s important for your athletes to see you in a leadership role and that you care so much about the sport,”

“[Gora’s] a dandy,” he said. “She’s like my little sister.” Venderly has long been accustomed to ceremonies like Thursday’s, and the tie is not the first gift he’s received from Ball State. The President’s Medal of Distinction he received in 2009 and a four-foot, glassblown trophy are among his most treasured. Over the last 10 years, though, his largest donations weren’t to the athletics
department. Venderly also serves on the Teachers College advisory board and helped to establish the Ronald E. and Joan M. Venderly Scholarship Endowment, which provides scholarships for more than 30 Ball State students from the Fort Wayne, Ind., area. “I think in the last 10 years, [the Venderlys] developed an interest in athletics,” Gora said. “I think this is the largest commitment they’ve ever made to an athletics campaign.”

As she now starts a new chapter of her life, one that has seen Harman move across the country to Alabama, she can finally have her chance to feel like she has done something within the military.
The timing for the donation could not have been better for an athletic department that is on the upswing. The Ball State football team won 10 games last season, just the third time in program history the feat has been accomplished and has played in back-to-back bowl games. Upgrading facilities can play a major role in maintaining that success. “We need to continue to reinvest in our programs to remain competitive,” said Bill
Scholl, Ball State’s athletic director. For Gora, the groundbreaking ceremony was the end of a decade of balancing athletics and academics. “It’s a great example of what you can do when people care enough to make a difference,” Gora said.

she said. “No matter what level you play at, it takes a high commitment level ... to be involved in your sport. You almost have to give back in order to keep it growing and make it better.” One area in which Harman would like to see change is the disparity in the number of male and female coaches throughout all sports. “A lot of times, a male coach is more mentally able to make [it as a coach] because at home, typically, they are not the ones who have to do everything, as well,” she said. “A lot female coaches tend to drop after a certain amount of years in coaching. Whether it’s because they want more free time or they want to start a family, they find it difficult to do so.” Harman credits her success as a female coach to the way she has been able to combine just the right amount of intensity to counter her natu-
