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.

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.
