n the third floor of the Studebaker East Complex, a group of foreign exchange students gathered ahead of the highly anticipated Germany vs. Brazil World Cup semifinal. Three of them are from Brazil, including Janaina Aranda. With green and yellow hearts painted on her cheeks, Aranda wrapped herself in the Brazilian flag. As the match began, she gripped a pink rosary in one hand and a cellphone in the other to talk to her German boyfriend, Henrik Stoewenau. As the match progressed with each German goal, Aranda’s cheers became shouts and her pacing quickened. SEE PAGE 5

“We have hope,” Aranda said to assure herself more than her friends once the score reached 4-0 for Germany. Making the sign of the cross, she held her rosary to her lips. Within minutes, Germany struck again. On the other end of the phone in Germany, Stoewenau wasn’t boasting about the score. In fact, the former Ball State exchange student consoled her. “I feel sorry,” his instant message read. “I’m getting sad of this. I cheer for Brazil now.”

D Luxe to lose ‘nightclub feel’ in Village

Owner looks to revamp business, create style focusing on craft drinks CHOKEY STAFF REPORTER | ARIC aachokey@bsu.edu

After having a “nightclub feel” in the Village for two years, D Luxe Bar and Lounge is revamping its style. “I just want to put a heavier focus on the craft concept — craft beer, craft drinks,” owner Matt Hurst said. “I want students to be able to come drink those drinks at an affordable price.” Moving away from its old menu, D Luxe will start serving local craft beer from breweries around Indiana and Michigan with a menu of about 20 different flavors of Long Island Iced Tea. Hurst said after being the bar’s

owner for nearly a year and a half, he wanted to completely change D Luxe. Some of its renovations came from patrons’ suggestions, concerns and complaints, Hurst said. To switch up the business and take out its “nightclub feel,” D Luxe will replace the dance floor with more seating and tables. “We’re going to add some televisions and have sports games on,” Hurst said. “We’ve even considered having a trivia night and a karaoke night once or twice a week.” Another renovation includes a second, dedicated women’s restroom. Hurst said he and his business partners thought about changing the concept of D Luxe before the summer. They decided to go ahead with the overhaul since the Village Promenade is nearing completion right across the street, which means more potential customers.

“That development is going to build quite a bit of traffic down here that kind of went away when Dill Street, Cleo’s and Redbird relocated,” Hurst said. The original plan was to completely rebrand the bar under the name “The Library,” but city ordinances required Hurst to apply for new signage permits that would have taken 45 to 60 days to get approved. “It was really important for me to offer something new for the students when they come back in the fall,” he said. Hurst said the student customers are important to his business and he wants to cater the decisions to them. One idea he has considered is allowing students to suggest a beer of the month on social media.

Top money manager EXECUTIVE AGENCIES TO IGNORE SAME-SEX MARRIAGES to leave Ball State HOOSIER Gov. Mike Pence’s office Howard to step down in September, accepts offer at Embry-Riddle CHRISTOPHER STEPHENS CHIEF REPORTER | castephens@bsu.edu

Ball State’s top money manager will leave later this year to return to his first passion — aeronautics. Randy Howard, vice president for business affairs and treasurer, accepted a position as senior vice president and chief financial officer at EmbryRiddle Aeronautical University. Embry-Riddle is a non-profit private university specializing in aviation and aerospace with two campuses, one in Florida and one in Arizona. The Florida campus, where Howard is headed, has approximately 4,600 undergraduates. One of Howard’s most pertinent jobs as head of business affairs is working

with Ball State’s president to make sure the university continues to receive funding from the state that helps keep tuition low. With Howard leaving and incoming President Paul Ferguson starting Aug. 1, Ball State’s future for grants is somewhat uncertain. But Howard RANDY HOWARD doesn’t see his role vice president as terribly impor- for business tant to the process. affairs and “At the end of the treasurer day, [Gora and I] may have been the two that were talking, but we were talking about what Ball State is doing great,” he said. “Sure, the new people will have the learning curve, but they will have the same great story to tell.”

U.S. OFFICIALS CALL SURGE AT BORDER OVERWHELMING

TODAY NEW YORK (AP) — One private drone crash-landed in midtown Manhattan. Another caused alarm by hovering over Times Square amid tight security during Super Bowl week. Most recently, authorities said, another had a close brush with a police helicopter near the George Washington Bridge. Even though it’s illegal to fly the devices just about anywhere in New York City without permission, the incidents and breathtaking videos of Manhattan’s

steel-and-glass canyons and sweeping skyline photos suggest that the restrictions are being widely flouted. Police are concerned that the increasing popularity of drones in such a tightly packed metropolis could carry significant risks, even becoming a potential tool for terrorists. “So far, we haven’t seen anything sinister with this,” said John Miller, the NYPD’s deputy commissioner of counterterrorism.

JERUSALEM (AP) — With rockets raining deep inside Israel, the military pummeled Palestinian targets Wednesday across the Gaza Strip and threatened a broad ground offensive, while the first diplomatic efforts to end two days of heavy fighting got underway. Egypt, which has mediated before between Israel and the Hamas militant group, said it spoke to all sides about ending the violence. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry was in touch with

Israel to try to lower tensions. And the United Nations chief warned of a “deteriorating situation ... which could quickly get beyond anyone’s control.” As the Palestinian death toll rose above 60, neither side showed any sign of halting their heaviest fighting since an eight-day battle in late 2012. The military said 74 rockets landed in Israel, including one that reached the northern city of Hadera, the deepest rocket strike ever from Gaza.

adamantly oppose such an exemption — and have pulled their support for a nondiscrimination bill they long supported to drive the point home. The upshot is a difficult balancing act for the White House, which said the executive order is still being drafted — nearly a month after Obama announced he would sign it. White House spokesman Josh Earnest declined to say whether a religious exemption would be included or was even being considered.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Tens of thousands of children streaming from Central American nations to the U.S. border have overwhelmed the government’s ability to respond, senior Obama administration officials testified Wednesday as they urged senators to agree to the president’s emergency spending request for the crisis. As President Barack Obama traveled to Texas, Republicans hardened to his $3.7 billion request, leaving any solution unclear. Political pressures appeared to grow from all sides, as Republicans denounced him on the Senate floor and some Democrats began to join demands for him to visit the border. In Washington, Sen. John McCain, who has supported Obama’s stalled quest to remake the nation’s immigration laws, said he could not support the president’s spending request. “I cannot vote for a provision, which will then just perpetuate an unacceptable humanitarian crisis that’s taking place on our southern border,” McCain said on the Senate floor.

In the intensifying debate over religious liberty, President Barack Obama faces pressure from opposite flanks as he prepares to issue an executive order barring federal contractors from discriminating against gay and transgender people in hiring. Many religious leaders and conservative groups want him to exempt religious organizations from the order.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Former Indiana Schools Superintendent Tony Bennett has agreed to pay $5,000 as part of a settlement with Indiana’s ethics watchdog, in which he admits to using state resources for campaign work, but is cleared of formal ethics violations in the grade-change scandal that cost him his job as Florida’s schools chief last year. Investigators from Indiana’s inspector general’s office found that Bennett had his state staff work with campaign

staff to coordinate his official and political schedules using state Microsoft software and computers. They also determined that Republican fundraising lists were downloaded to state computers in January 2013 by state staff at his request, after Bennett had lost his 2012 re-election bid. It remains unclear, though, if all of the campaign lists were downloaded to state computers after the election, as Bennett said.

Independence Day sees few injuries Officials say holiday not as dangerous as most people think

CHRISTOPHER STEPHENS CHIEF REPORTER castephens@bsu.edu

City emergency officials say the idea that the Fourth of July is a dangerous holiday is a common misconception. “Most people are probably surprised, [but] we don’t have a lot of firework runs,” said Brad Riddle, lieutenant inspector for the Muncie Fire Department. Fires related to holidays are more likely during Christmas, when people leave trees with lights unattended than when the family gathers together to set off some small, supervised explosives, said Aaron Wood, MFD lieutenant inspector. Instead, his department usually spends Independence Day going on first responder runs, helping people with minor injuries like small burns and hearing impairment. Wood said although some may

worry about fireworks with high explosive capabilities, like publicly available fireworks that shoot and explode in the air akin to those at professional fireworks shows, most accidents are a result of small fountain and sparkler fireworks. Rebekah Dillon, trauma program manager at IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital, said this year, the holiday was just another day. The hospital saw one fireworksrelated injury this year. Hospitals are required to report all fireworks-related injuries to the state each year. Numbers have stayed rather stagnate in Indiana, hovering between 150 and 110 in the last five years. However, 2012 was an exception when 83 injuries occurred throughout the state. As many people gather to celebrate and drink, the potential for drunken driving incidents also rises. However, Dillon said there was no noticeable uptick in incidents this year. The University Police Department arrested two people suspected of operating a vehicle while intoxicated over the holiday weekend.

ARREST LOG The University Police Department made the following arrests over the weekend. Brandon Boyce, 29, Muncie 2:36 a.m. Sunday 305 N. Tillotson Ave. Boyce was arrested on the following charges: • Operating while intoxicated, previous conviction • Operating while intoxicated, endangering a person Karnese Driver, 27, Muncie West Jackson Street and South Talley Avenue 1:04 a.m. Sunday Driver was arrested on the following charge: • Warrant arrest Timothy Banks, 34, Muncie 2:30 a.m. Saturday South Manning Avenue and West Jackson Street Banks was arrested on the following charges: • Habitual traffic offender • Resisting law enforcer: run from officer

HOWARD: Embry-Riddle allows treasurer to return to Air Force, aviation roots | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 During his time as treasurer, Ball State was the victim of a fraud scheme that totaled $13 million in university funds. Howard said neither the fraud nor the publicity that followed had an effect on his decision to leave. Howard’s move to EmbryRiddle on Sept. 2 returns him to his life career, which began with the United States Air Force. “I was just interested in how something that big could fly,” he said. He broke into higher education when he worked as the chief financial officer at the

Air Force University. “I have always viewed finance as not the end game, [but] the way you use resources to achieve a mission,” he said. “And I like the mission of higher education.” Rick Hall, Board of Trustees chairman, said in a statement that he appreciated Howard’s work cutting costs and work to create the university’s geothermal project that recently replaced Ball State’s coal fire boilers. “I want to thank him for his service and wish him the best in his new endeavor,” he said. Howard skirted the compliment, saying the project and

much of the work he is praised for were collaborations between several people. “Business affairs, like the entire university, has a lot of really good people working for it,” he said. “And I appreciate the things they have done that make me look good when really, it is them.” As the search for someone to fill his place begins, Howard said he hopes Ball State will continue along the trajectory that has allowed it to become the university it is today. “It is great to see places that are focused on transferring and creating new information,” he said.

Online games help out local food bank Advertisements aid fundraising efforts for Second Harvest ALAN HOVORKA CHIEF REPORTER | afhovorka@bsu.edu Raising money for a local food bank is now as simple as playing a free online game. Through Something Software’s TriviaMogul.com, Second Harvest Food Bank plans to raise money from participants who play the online video games. “It’s a good a way for all ages to raise money to help others, even if you don’t have a dollar to your name,” said Karen McTague, director of development for Second Harvest. Registered users play games such as solitaire, “Yahtzee” or trivia games to earn points. These points have an expiration time and must be gifted to a participating charity of the player’s choice. The money is given to the charity directly.

There are currently nine different types of games available for players. By the end of the year, the software company looks to open that up to about 100, said Frank Corbett, director of business development for Something Software Inc. The money that goes to the nonprofits comes from advertising revenue, Corbett said. Advertisers pay per view and ads come in different forms, such as banner ads. Corbett called the approach “referral compensation.” “The beautiful part is people get gift points for playing — they can’t do anything with them except give those to a charity, and the charity can get money,” Corbett said. Second Harvest heard of this new mode of fundraising through some of its partners, McTague said. “We had teamed up with the Pay Less Kroger grocery stores in Anderson,” she said. “They spoke to Something Software and then, they contacted us. They were the ones who set

things into motion.” Second Harvest hasn’t made much from the partnership yet — they have already raised $13.38 total, averaging two players a day — because they just started, McTague said. “We hope that when more people get onboard, it will increase their points and then donate them to Second Harvest,” she said. “It’s just in the beginning stages.” However, other participating groups have made hundreds of dollars in days with a small number of players, Corbett said.

“A local Florida group, Metropolitan Youth Symphony, has raised about $313.51 [total in a few months], averaging two people a day,” he said. The money given to nonprofit groups depends on the value of the Charity Points, which varies based on numerous factors, such as the number of people playing and how many nonprofits are participating, Corbett added. “As our player base grows, our ad revenue goes up and the nonprofits get more money,” he said. Currently, site statistics show the visitors are in the

thousands and Something Software expects to hit more than 10,000, Corbett said. The company began operation in October 2013, and Corbett said his company is the only one that approaches charities with online games like they do. “Our goal is to be largest contribute to nonprofit organizations in the world,” he said. He also estimated the number of partner nonprofits are between 80 and 100. Their business model is being offered to other types of groups, such as sports groups, schools and businesses. He said about 100 businesses have signed with them and about a thousand are waiting to work out an agreement. “This is a new concept, and it works,” Corbett said. “I get people [who] go, ‘Well, if you look at [it], this group has only made $8 this week.’ And you go, ‘Well look, there is only two people playing.’ You have to look at all the groups together.”

Participating groups receive checks every two weeks if players have donated enough points equal to $25 or more. “We found a way to share [ad money], and we are helping the economy by putting the money back in the straights and in the hands of businesses,” Corbett said. “I think this could change the economy and turn it in the right direction and more importantly, it could change nonprofits because they provide really important services.” To play and help Second Harvest, go to TriviaMogul. com and register using the referral username “SecondHarvestECI.” Play and earn points and then donate them to Second Harvest or any partner group. “This can really change the direction of a nonprofit if they jump in with it all the way,” Corbett said. “We can get you the same amount of money you get from selling candy bars in two weeks and every two weeks.”

What’s next for marriage D LUXE: Complete overhaul to change bar for potential grand reopening in August on U.S. federal, state levels | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Responses outline upcoming cases to go up in court | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SALT LAKE CITY — Utah’s decision to ask the nation’s highest court to review a federal appeals court ruling in favor of gay marriage nudges the issue closer to the U.S. Supreme Court. State officials said Wednesday they plan to ask the justices to review a June 25 ruling from a three-judge panel of the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that found Utah’s ban violates the Constitution. It was the first time an appellate court found a Supreme Court decision last year means states cannot deny gays the right to wed. The high court is under no obligation to the take the case, and it may wait for rulings from one or more of the five other appellate courts with pending gay marriage cases. But the pressure is mounting with same-sex marriage bans falling across the country. Including Wednesday’s by a judge in Colorado who struck down that state’s ban, gay rights activists have won 20 court cases over the past year. Here are key things to know:

WHEN DOES THE ISSUE RETURN TO THE SUPREME COURT?

Legal experts said the Supreme Court eventually will take a gay marriage case, even though it is not required to take up the issue. But they said it won’t do so until 2015 at the earliest. The 10th Circuit panel is the

first to rule out of six circuits hearing appeals. In any of the appellate cases, the losing party can appeal directly to the Supreme Court or ask for the entire appellate court to review it. It’s unclear which case would reach the high court first. The Supreme Court could hold off and see how the nation’s appellate courts rule. It often waits until there is a conflict between appellate courts.

WHAT IS THE STATUS IN APPEALS COURTS?

Judges in a total of six federal appeals courts and one state appeals court are hearing appeals of lower court rulings that overturned gay marriage bans or ordered states to recognize out-of-state marriages. The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments about Virginia’s ban in early May, and a ruling is expected soon. Arguments are scheduled for Aug. 6 in the 6th District Court of Appeals to discuss cases out of Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee; and Sept. 8 in

the 9th District Court of Appeals for Nevada and Idaho cases. The ruling by the 10th Circuit panel is now law in the six states covered by the court: Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Utah and Wyoming. But gay marriages won’t be happening in those states — at least not right away — because the 10th Circuit immediately put its decision on hold pending an appeal.

WHAT TRIGGERED THE SERIES OF DECISIONS?

The Supreme Court last year found that the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act improperly deprived couples of due process. So far, federal and state judges have ruled against bans in Arkansas, Idaho, Michigan, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Wisconsin, Indiana and Colorado. They have ordered Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio and Tennessee to recognize samesex marriages from other states. Gay marriage is currently legal in 19 states and the District of Columbia.

Still, revamping a business under the same name has its challenges, he said. “I want to reach out to those students who haven’t been back to D Luxe since their first time when it opened in 2012,” Hurst said. “I want them to know it’s a complete overhaul — we’re just keeping the same name.” With Brothers Bar moving into the Village Promenade, he said he isn’t worried about competition with the new development or future businesses. “I think more bars or latenight restaurants in the Village is great for the area,” he said. “When people go out, they want to have options.” Hurst said he is planning a grand reopening around the first week of classes, but details have not been finalized. “Students will definitely be in for a good surprise when they

COLORADO FINISHES WORLD’S 1ST LEGAL POT MARKET STUDY

DENVER — Colorado and its visitors are smoking pot by the ton. Colorado’s pot regulators issued what is believed to be the world’s first post-legalization market study for weed Wednesday. The study relied on sales data from Colorado’s first three months of recreational marijuana sales, while previous pot market studies relied on survey responses because the drug is illegal. “This study finds total marijuana demand to be much larger than previously estimated,” Colorado’s study concluded. The study estimated that total market demand for marijuana in Colorado is about 130 metric tons a year — about 121 metric tons for residents and almost 9 metric tons a year for visitors. These figures include medical and recreational marijuana. Marijuana has an average market rate in Colorado of $220 per ounce, authors concluded. The estimates were nearly a third higher than one recently projected by the state Department of Revenue, which regulates the marijuana industry. Nations with legal or semi-legal marijuana sales, such as the Netherlands, do not track national inventory, making firm market analysis spotty. Colorado concluded that visitors account for 44 percent of recreational marijuana retail sales in the Denver area. In the mountains and other vacation spots, visitors to Colorado account for 90 percent of recreational dispensary traffic. Colorado’s market numbers bore out survey estimates that most marijuana is consumed by heavy daily users. For example, survey authors estimated that a third of all Colorado’s pot consumers use the drug less than once a month, accounting for just 0.3 percent of the total market, analysts concluded. –

MARRIAGE: Pence says state abiding by federal appeals court decision | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Dobbs said she’s focused on fighting for equality, but the decision still irritated her. “It does kind of tend to bear down on you,” she said. “... It’s hurtful to basically receive the happiest day of your life then turn around and feel like it was kicked out from under you.” Pence told reporters at a Statehouse event Wednesday that Indiana was abiding by the decision of the federal appeals court’s stay, according to The Associated Press. American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana Legal Director Ken Falk said Wednesday he believes Pence is wrong and the marriages are legal.

“During the time they were married, they were lawfully married,” Falk said in an email to The Associated Press. “And the fact that the law, in effect, changed subsequent to their marriage does not void their marriages.” While agencies are being told not to recognize the hundreds of marriages performed between June 25 and June 27, Indiana will recognize just one: Amy Sandler and Nikole Quasney’s.

Boston council proposes new bill

Universities worry injured players could become expensive | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOSTON — Local universities expressed concern Tuesday that a proposed College Athletes Bill of Rights would cost them scholarships and commit them to lifelong health insurance for players who are injured during games. Testifying at a Boston City

BASEBALL

Council committee hearing, representatives from the area’s Division I schools balked at provisions that they said would put them at a competitive disadvantage on the field and burden already money-losing athletic department budgets. The College Athletes Bill of Rights proposed by City Councilor Josh Zakim would require schools in the city to offer four-year scholarships, instead of the renewable one-year grants the NCAA currently allows. It also would require schools to cover athletes’ medical ex-

penses for any sport-related injuries — for the rest of the player’s life. “I think this is an area the city has an opportunity to lead on,” Zakim said. The school representatives said they were in favor of protecting students but questioned whether the city should be the one to regulate them. On Monday, the NCAA issued guidelines that recommended a limit of two contact practices per week, but Zakim said it didn’t go far enough. Under the bill of rights, schools in the city would be

required to offer injured or cut athletes equivalent, nonathletic scholarships for a total of five years or until the athlete graduates. Other provisions would require the school to provide athletes with “financial and life skills” and promise the athlete the same disciplinary rights as other students. Calling for a “Right to Health and Safety,” the ordinance also would require schools to provide athletes with comprehensive, year-round medical care and to train athletes and staff in concussion and dehydration awareness.

Dozens of vendors filled the grounds at Minnetrista’s Cultural Center on Saturday, offering organic and local food options for Muncie residents. Minnetrista hosts its Farmers Market each Saturday and Wednesday from April until October. The market opens at 8 a.m. and closes at noon Saturdays and is open from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesdays. Many vendors, like Dawn Steffes, are passionate about local and organic products. Steffes and her husband, Tom, own To Tend and To Keep Farm in Mooreland, Ind. They raise about 45 cattle and provide the local community with the option of grass-fed beef. Steffes said there are several benefits to grass-fed beef over what people can buy at the supermarket, citing lower fat content and the lack of antibiotics. “Feeding healthy animals means in the end, you have a healthy product to feed your family,” she said. “Our cows are strictly grass-fed.” To Tend and To Keep Farm offers a variety of beef products including ground beef, different roast and steak options and other products, like oxtail and soup bones. Although grass-fed beef is a little pricier than what a person would find at grocery stores, Steffes said it’s worth it in the end. “You’re going to pay one way or the other,” she said. “You can either pay for good quality food and grow a healthy body ... or you’re going to pay for a lot of medical later.

LOVE: Couple learns each other’s native languages to talk, uses technology to stay in touch overseas | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

The couple met in fall 2013 at Ball State through the “Crazy Crew,” a group of about 25 study abroad students from Japan, France, Germany, Italy, Austria, Brazil and Switzerland. Aranda and Stoewenau became romantically involved a few months after they met, but they only recently became an official couple. Stoewenau said most romantic relationships between exchange students carry expiration dates, so the people involved try not to become too attached. “There are a lot of romantic relationships between exchange students,” Stoewenau said in a Facebook interview. “I think this is also due to [how] everyone is in the same situation, so a lot of new friendships happen quick and with that, also some romantic ones.” Aranda said she originally didn’t want to start a relationship with anyone while in the U.S., but things drastically changed over the course of several months at Ball State. Once she finishes her undergraduate experience, Aranda said she will move to Germany to live with Stoewenau,

noting she is open-minded to the big change. In the meantime, the two are taking classes to learn German and Portuguese in order to talk in each other’s native tongue. At Ball State for the Summer Semester, Aranda is completing 10 weeks of German equivalent to four semesters of the language. Once in Germany, Aranda plans on earning her master’s degree. She said the pieces fell into place for studying toward the degree once she met Stoewenau. “You don’t have a whole lot of relationships [amongst study abroad students], but there are some examples here,” said Guohe Zheng, chairperson for the Department of Modern Languages and Classics. Zheng said the department hosts activities on campus for international students to interact and build relationships, though the faculty doesn’t encourage or discourage romantic relationships. “When you study abroad, often times, you also get very lonely,” he said. “Like on the Fourth of July, when most Americans join their families, study abroad students have to stay in the dorms.”

Zheng said in his time teaching Japanese at Ball State, he has seen exchange students date each other and local students. One couple, an American student and a Japanese student, are now married and are joint CEOs of their company in Silicon Valley. He said he has recently started tracking the relationships between the department’s alumni and plans on building a log. Aranda and Stoewenau admit that maintaining a relationship from two ends of the world can be a hefty task. Still, technology helps the couple. “When my mom moved to Portugal when I was 12, I would write letters to her or talk to her on the phone for like five minutes because it was so expensive,” Aranda said. “That was before WhatsApp and Facebook and Skype. During this game, I was talking to my boyfriend and my daddy. Technology makes it easier.” Despite the distance between them and the results of Tuesday’s game — 7-1 for Germany — Aranda and Stoewenau continue to talk across the globe in whichever language they’ve practiced that day.
