SCHOLL TO LEAVE « FOR MARQUETTE
Athletic director to start job in Milwaukee in mid-October EMMA KATE FITTES AND MATT McKINNEY | sports@bsudailynews.com
Ball State athletic director Bill Scholl has been named athletic director at Marquette, and will take over duties in mid-October, according to a press release. Scholl has been Ball State’s athletic director since 2012. His salary was $246,750. “This was a very difficult decision to make because of the momentum Ball State’s ath-
letics department has right now and the great people I have had the pleasure to meet and work with at Ball State and in Muncie,” Scholl said in the press release. “My wife, Julie, and I have thoroughly enjoyed our time here and will take great memories with us.” Associate athletic director and head football coach Pete Lembo only worked with Scholl for about two years, but he said the two will be life-long friends. Lembo said the hire is exciting for the Ball State athletic department as a whole and Scholl as an individual.
If it’s a chance to take on a new challenge and it’s a good step professionally, then I’m thrilled for him. » PETE LEMBO, head football coach

Study ranks Ball State professor salaries low Provost attributes average to cost of living, programs offered DANIELLE GRADY ENTERPRISE REPORTER | dagrady@bsu.edu
Ball State lags behind other Indiana colleges when it comes to average salaries of full professors, according to a recent American Association of University Professors’ Faculty Salary Survey.

Full professors are ten- Associate: ured and have produced 237 professors a scholarly work. Associates are tenured and have not produced significant Assistant: work, while assistants are 306 professors on track to receive tenure. Although the statistics may look straightforward, professor of economics and business research Michael Hicks said the reality is much more complicated. “The fact is that our composition of our faculty is very different than the composition of faculty at any other Indiana university,” he said. Terry King, provost and vice president for academic affairs, said recent data points out that some academic disciplines garner higher salaries than others. “Law school faculty members are paid 60 percent more than the average faculty member. Engineers are paid 25 percent more. Health professions faculty like doctors are paid 19 percent more,” he said in an email. “While we do have a nursing program, we do not have any other programs that have such high market demands for compensation well above average.”

Study abroad office monitors conflict Travel numbers consistent despite violence overseas SCOTT MINOR STAFF REPORTER | smminor@bsu.edu In light of the two recent murders of American journalists and the Islamic State conflict in the Middle East, Ball State’s study abroad programs have not made any changes, but are monitoring situations overseas. “The safety of our programs has always been our top priority,” said John Jensen, director of study abroad. “The Study Abroad Office is concerned about recent events

BEST COLLEGE LIST RANKS BALL STATE Ball State moved up eight spots in the US News and World Report’s Best Colleges since last year’s rankings were released. The study ranks Ball State tied at 173 out of 200 national universities in the 2015 edition, compared to placing 181 in the 2014 list. Terry King, provost and vice president for academic affairs, said the study only predicts factors that go into the ranking, such as graduation rates. “It’s impressive to note that we achieved a graduation rate 7 percentage points higher than US News’ model predicted,” he said in an email. “Last year [the first time they did this] we achieved 5 percentage points higher.” Despite the skewed study, King said the university is happy to have moved up in ranks. The university improved graduation rates and the number of incoming freshmen that graduated in the top 10 percent of their high school class and had higher SAT scores. “It’s not surprising that there is growing interest in Ball State among high-ability students,” King said. “The fact that we rose several steps probably means we are doing so at a faster rate than our national peers. That’s what’s important — much more so than rising eight places.” Purdue and Indiana universities both received higher rankings than Ball State. Purdue University was ranked 62 and Indiana University was ranked 72. Indiana University-Purdue University-Indianapolis was ranked 194 and Indiana State University was not ranked. Ball State’s online scores remained consistent, ranking at 29 for the best online bachelor’s programs and was only out-ranked by IUPUI in Indiana. – STAFF REPORTS
dent, staff and faculty safety and security.” Although Ball State doesn’t have any programs or travel plans for the area impacted by the Islamic State conflict, the university would review policies if circumstances in the conflict change or get closer to Ball State programs. Some students also have not been turned off to studying abroad, but have become selective about where they would want to go. Jensen said his office has not seen any drop in interest and participation in going overseas. “The [Middle East] probably wouldn’t be a choice of mine because of the conflicts going on over there,” said T.J. Jackson, a junior. “I would still en-
joy studying abroad in Japan or possibly Spain.” The cost of studying in another country and the duration of the trips were larger factors in why Jackson has not gone to study for a semester in another country yet, he said. Still, Jensen said even during conflicts, traveling is crucial for students to continue expanding their understanding of the world. “Events like this reinforce the belief of our students and faculty of the need for each of us to have a better understanding of the diverse cultural, political and religious values that exist in an increasingly interconnected world,” he said.

SALARIES: Department research factors into earnings | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 AAUP’s 2013-14 faculty survey did not include the salaries of medical school faculty and in some unspecified cases, also didn’t include faculty members of law, dentistry, nursing, business and engineering, according to the website. King also accredited Ball State’s smaller salaries to the lower cost of living in Muncie. Hicks said Muncie’s cost of living, while lower than that of Indianapolis or Chicago, didn’t differ drastically from that of Bloomington or West Lafayette’s. A house bought in Muncie might be bigger for less money, but would not grow in value as much as one in a larger city, he said. “It’s not clear that it’s the

benefit that folks argue it is,” he said. Instead, Hicks said the true measure of how well Ball State pays its educators compared to other Indiana colleges would be more telling with the turnover rate. “If we cannot keep the faculty that we’re trying to keep because of salary, then we have a problem,” he said.
As far as Hicks can see, the mediocre rank for staff salaries isn’t a big issue for Ball State. Laura Wilson, an assistant German professor, is contract faculty, meaning Ball State rehires her every year, but doesn’t have an obligation to. “I won’t ever get promoted,” she said. The average salary an assistant professor at Ball State made in the 2013-14 school year was $58,700, according to AAUP’s survey. “Basically I have to save my money, which is fine. I just don’t spend everything that I earn every month and I have to think ahead each time,” Wilson said. She saves because eight months out of the year, Wilson said she doesn’t get paid at all. She researched and
found that even a high school German language teacher would make more than her. Still, she said she’s happy with where she is because the health insurance and extra pay for her hard work keep her satisfied with her job. Hicks said research dollars and other opportunities provided by departments can factor in heavily to whether Ball State professors are satisfied or not. To Wilson, feeling valued by her coworkers and students ranks higher on her list of needs than a bigger salary. “I think I’m in a good section where I have two people who admire my work and want me to stay, so they let me decide the types of things I will be doing,” she said.

With the success that Indiana State quarterback Mike Perish has had this season, do you see yourself needing to drop the linebackers back into coverage more, or apply pressure with them?
When you look at Indiana State’s defense, how aggressive are they and how do they bring pressure from a lot of different angles?
DAVID POLASKI DAVID POLASKI IS THE CHIEF FOOTBALL REPORTER FOR THE DAILY NEWS. HE FOLLOWS THE TEAM ON A CONSISTENT BASIS, TRAVELING TO ROAD GAMES AND ATTENDING PRACTICE REGULARLY.
Explaining the meaning behind the words of Ball State’s head football coach
« I think there has to be a balance, you certainly don’t
want to leave your defensive backs on an island all day ... if you’re not getting enough rush, Perish is a guy who can pick you apart. We’ve got to make strategic decisions and try to make him earn everything he gets. »
« Last week [against Iowa] there were a few
times when I saw something happen on the field and thought ‘Gosh, we look fast’ ... Ben on a screen stands out to me ... We do have good speed, and I think our instincts are getting better.

man front. Once in a while they will drop eight into coverage ... they are more than happy to blitz you as well ... it’s one of those weeks where we could be getting pressured by anybody.
»
David’s explanation: To keep its opponents off
guard, Indiana State uses a multitude of defensive looks. Some of them involve bringing five or six defensive backs onto the field and dropping most of their players into coverage, making it hard for quarterback Ozzie Mann to find open receivers. Sometimes, they’ll run exotic blitzes meant to confuse offensive linemen, leading to breakdowns in blocking and creating chaos for Mann and the running backs. If Mann can identify what sort of defense Indiana State is running and audible to a different play if necessary, it can turn disastrous plays into productive ones.
David’s explanation: Indiana State brings a
varied offense that allows Perish to push the ball down the field, or its running backs to eat up yardage on the ground. . When Lembo says he doesn’t want to leave defensive backs on an island consistently, he means that Ball State will need to give corners Eric Patterson and Darius Conaway help when guarding receivers. Often, that means linebackers Ben Ingle and Zack Ryan will drop back into zone coverage, forcing the receivers to beat multiple layers of coverage.
David’s explanation: Against Iowa, Ball
State’s run defense was at the top of its form. The linebackers were flying to the ball and covering gaps, effectively turning Iowa into a onedimensional passing team. Offenses can have a slight advantage when a play begins because the offense forces an issue, and the defense has to react to it. If Ingle and the linebacker corps can predict what’s going to happen, it doesn’t take as long to react and allows the defense to shut down opposing offenses.

SCHOLL: Benson wins MAC award, leads squad in kills Lembo says Extra practice helps improve level of play he’s ‘thrilled’ at start of season for friend’s GETTING TO KNOW | HAYLEY BENSON opportunity JAKE FOX ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR @fakejox3
With her quiet nature, Hayley Benson lets her play do the talking. A redshirt junior, Benson is a middle blocker and outside attacker for the Ball State women’s volleyball team. Lately, Benson has been proving that she doesn’t have to fit the cliché intense, inyour-face volleyball style to be successful. “We wish she was a vocal

leader,” head coach Steve Shondell said with a laugh. “She leads by example for sure. She’s really quiet by nature and we’ve really encouraged her to try and play with more emotion and to be a bit more vocal.” Benson is leading the Cardinals with 63 kills this season, 16 more than anyone else on the team. She is averaging 2.86 per set with a .374 attack percentage, both good enough for best on the team. Benson also has 26 total blocks this season, averaging 1.18 per set. Shondell is confident that Benson’s confidence to play more vocally will improve based on her play this season.
“I’m not sure what we would’ve done without her last weekend,” Shondell said. “She was very dominating in all three matches and was that one player we could rely on to come up with a big kill when we needed it.” Ball State played in the UniWyo Cowgirl Classic last weekend, going 1-2. Benson was named to the All-Tournament team after her role in two of the three matches. Benson had 39 kills over the weekend, posting a .492 attack percentage. Her latest performance also earned her the MidAmerican Conference West Division Player of the Week Award.
“It means a ton,” Benson said. “It’s always really exciting when something like that happens, being recognized for good play because when you’re playing you’re just focusing the best you can for your team.” While Benson feels the need for improvement, especially on the defensive side, Shondell feels she has come close to meeting expectations this season. Benson is very tough on herself, a quality that helps her improve every time she steps on the court. Her quiet nature is representative of this attitude. “She has worked really hard on her own in the late spring
and summer to make herself the most physical player she can be,” Shondell said. “Her hard work is already paying off this season.” POSITION:

“It’s a chance to improve [Scholl’s] lifestyle,” Lembo said. “If it’s a chance to take on a new challenge and it’s a good step professionally, then I’m thrilled for him.” Since 2012, Scholl has hired seven coaches for Ball State and helped lead the Cardinal Commitment campaign, a fundraising effort to build new athletic facilities. The campaign aims to raise $20 million by December. The coaches Scholl hired at Ball State are women’s basketball coach Brady Sallee, women’s swimming and diving coach Kristy Castillo, baseball coach Rich Maloney, men’s basketball coach James Whitford, gymnastics coach Joanna Saleem, softball coach Tyra Perry and women’s tennis coach Max Norris. Previously, he had been with Notre Dame for 23 years. Scholl is married to Julie Scholl and has three children, Michael, Stefanie and Kelly. Stefanie graduated from Ball State in 2012, according to the university. Dakota Crawford contributed to this story.

matches, after opening the season with back to back wins. Delaware sophomore Nikki Adams, who has scored three goals so far this season, leads the Blue Hens. After an off day on Saturday, the Cardinals finish play against Navy at noon Sunday. Navy is 2-2-2 entering the tournament.
Though Ball State will face tough competition, sophomore goalkeeper Brooke Dennis said the team is welcoming the challenge, as it will help prepare the team for the Mid-American Conference tournament at the end of the season. “We have overcome plenty of adversity already this season,” Dennis said. “We just handle it as a team and go through to the next challenge.” The Navy Tournament will be the longest time Ball State spends on the road this season, while also being the far-
thest the Cardinals have been away from campus. “It will be a test of how well we work together, and we will be out of our comfort zones,” sophomore Gabby Veldman said. “This gives us a chance to challenge ourselves and see how we handle the different circumstances.” Since Ball State’s last match against Valparaiso was canceled due to weather, the Cardinals will have not played for almost two weeks. Veldman thinks the additional time has helped her team, giving them more preparation to work
on the little things before the tournament. “We all have individual skills that need improving, this is what every good team should do to get better,” Veldman said. While in D.C., the Cardinals plan to take sometime for themselves and see as many monuments and historical places as they can. “Not every team gets the opportunity we are about to get,” Veldman said. “We will get to make memories and have experiences that we get to share as a team.”

FRANK: Local liquor store employee works to build friendships with students | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
ABOUT THE ALCOHOL
It also helps that Rice knows his stuff. In a store with more beer and liquor than a person could ever hope to drink in a lifetime, Rice knows it all. Looking for a decent tequila under $20? Rice can point out several and explain why one brand may be a little more brown than another. Looking for something eclectic? Rice keeps one beer on standby, a brew that uses coffee beans that are first filtered through civets, a type of Vietnamese fox. Rice said knowing what’s good, cheap and cool is a must when working with college kids, especially when so many are walking into a liquor store for the first time. Watching students who are studying to live their dream walk in and out of the store, leaving with a brief reprise from study and drudgery tucked in a paper bag, makes the job more than just a paycheck for Rice. “Seeing kids that make it, it’s cool, it’s cool,” he said. “It makes me want to be better, be everyone’s favorite liquor store guy.”
STORY BEHIND HIS INK
The job also means that Rice didn’t have to cover up who he is. He doesn’t have to hide his sailor jerry-style tattoos beneath bandages and a turtleneck. While some look for significance or semi-profound symbolism in his ink, Rice’s current tattoos are mostly cover-ups for mistakes made when he was younger. The cross on his neck hides a mistake made on one slightly love drunk, but mostly one plain old messed up drunk night – the words “Frank + Ashley.” “We broke up even before the
ink was dry,” Rice said. His individuality is important to Rice, and it is why he changed his mind from his original plan to become a preacher. “I would have partied behind closed doors,” he said. “Instead of being a hypocrite I decided to just be a really good guy.”
PERKS OF THE JOB
The job also offers one of Rice’s favorite perks, a nearly endless supply of pretty young women to flirt with every night. “I do it all for the girls,” he said. Alisa Arseneau, a junior zoology major, became friends with Rice after he slipped her a simple line when she came to the store on her 21st birthday. “He hits on me all the time, but it’s not uncomfortable,” she said. “He actually told me to tell him to ‘stop me if I am getting too weird.’” Several purchases, flirts and conversations about which drink to buy later, Arseneau counts Rice as a friend. Now, she said, each time she walks into Muncie Liquors, “It’s kind of like if you go into a café and you are a regular.”
A RARE BREED OF EMPLOYEE
Earlier this year, Rice quit Muncie Liquors for a few weeks. Students who thought he was fired complained in store and on Twitter that they weren’t going back to Muncie Liquors until they hired him back. Students aren’t the only people who love Rice, though. Linda Koger, Muncie Liquors owner, said Rice is a rare breed. “You know he is just a kind spirit,” she said. “That is recognized by most of the customers that come in – not just

college kids.” She has a knack for finding employees that stick out. She said before Rice came to work for her she had another employee known as Bubba who had the same kind spirit that attracts customers. Koger expects a lot from her employees, especially when dealing with many college students, some that may be trying to pass off fake ID’s. Rice is an expert at catching fakes, and he spent a year training with Excise police to spot the tell-tale signs that denote an authentic driver’s license. He used to keep a wall of
fake ID’s behind the counter to ward off potential troublemakers but decided to take it down when the “thrill of the game” wore off. Now when a minor tries to pass off a storebought card he points out the flaws, making sure to explain that the ID isn’t anywhere near as good as they think it is, and sends them on their way. Koger makes it a point to pay Rice back for his work with more than just a paycheck, going so far as to help Rice get a car so he can make it to work. And when Rice’s now 2-yearold daughter was born Koger showered the little girl with
gifts, Rice said. “I like to help employees who are trying to help me,” Koger said simply. Rice said he contributes everything in his life to Koger. That time he quit, it was Koger who decided to give him one last chance to do what he loves. Rice has found at least one way to pay Koger back for all of her kindness, acting as a soldier in a war as early as time – stealing customers from a rival business chain. Rice sees it as his destiny to steal as many customers from Muncie’s other near-campus liquor store chain, Friendly

Package liquors. “I steal their business by being friendly,” he said, seriously. “I am trying to be the leader of that war… it’s my destiny.” Fighting for customers is only part of his destiny though. Keeping college kids safe and sane long enough to graduate and do something with their life – that is the crux of Rice’s destiny. For Rice finding Koger and Muncie Liquors really does feel like the best thing that could have happened to him, and he doesn’t ever plan to leave. “I’m glad I found my destiny,” he said. “It feels good.”

iPHONE UPDATES Apple Vice President Phil Schiller introduces new products, including the iPhone 6, during a special event Tuesday in Cupertino, Calif. TAYLOR WEDDLE STAFF REPORTER | tcweddle@bsu.edu
Apple unveiled its new addition to the iPhone line Tuesday and caught the attention of some Ball State students. “I am going to get one,” said freshman Paul Fischer. “The 5.5 screen is a bit much but I cannot wait for the iOS 8 update.” Rumors about the iPhone 6 floated around the Internet for the past few months with leaked photos of its appearance. The new model is curved, unlike the more flat and boxy iPhone 4, 4s, 5 and 5s gener-
ations. It is also thinner than previous models. Jonathan Huer, director of emerging technologies at Ball State, said he is looking forward to some of the new features. “I’m excited about the new camera,” he said. “The latitude on the iPhone has always been stellar, but the new f2.2 aperture and improved video features, such as super slow motion and HDR video, makes me want to get an Otter Box and use the phone like a GoPro.” In addition to the new base
model, a modified version was also introduced: the iPhone 6 Plus. The processor performance is approximately 50 times faster than the original iPhone, and the iPhone 6 Plus is expected to play games in higher resolution than the Xbox One or PlayStation 4. The retina display and graphics are described to be very impressive, and has a feature called “reachability,” so it’s easier to touch the top of a display. Another feature is the mo-

tion coprocessor, which will help with fitness apps by telling the difference between walking, running and cycling, as well as measuring distance and elevation. Huer said he and the department get to try out new devices. “The additional screen real estate on the iPhone 6 Plus is going to be useful to developers,” he said. “I’m personally planning on getting an iPhone 6, not the 6 Plus.” Both new models are set to be available for purchase Sept. 19.
