ne week after the resignation of former Student Government Association president Malachi Randolph, Chloe Anagnos was formally inducted as the new president. “I feel really good,” Anagnos said. “Today is a good day.” SGA adviser Jennifer Jones-Hall said she is excited for Anagnos to begin working as president. “I feel fabulous, fantastic,” Jones-Hall said. “Chloe is going to do a phenomenal job.” Randolph resigned following derogatory tweets toward Asian people. Anagnos said she has forgiven him. “I’m more upset that this all happened,” she said. “Obviously I was always taught to be a forgiving person. I said, ‘I understand, we’re going to work to make it better and I’ll see you when you get back.’... We’re pretty close.” See INDUCTION, page 4

SGA’S SENATE APPROVES BUDGET FOR YEAR University to allocate $91,000 to association for 7 expense categories RACHEL PODNAR CHIEF REPORTER | rmpodnar@bsu.edu Student Government Association passed its budget last week, allocating how it will spend its funding of roughly $91,000 throughout the year. The budget is broken down into seven categories of expenses: cosponsorship, executive, senate, community and publicity, wages, recognition and telephone. SGA treasurer Kevin Mullaney said
has first road trip
they do not have the exact amount of money they will receive from the university yet, as it will be added to their account throughout the year. Right now the estimated expenses for each category add up to $20,000 more than the total amount of money SGA is allocated. Mullaney said this is because they have not put down exact costs, and as they go, will continue to make cuts to the executive section as necessary to fit the budget. He said it is unlikely they will receive more than the expected $91,697 from the university, although they have applied for a 3 percent raise. Mullaney said the university provides SGA’s budget with money from student tuition and donors.

“It is to help programming [for student events]. Really, what [SGA] can do to help the university and the student body as a whole,” Mullaney said. “It is to help the experience of students and make what difference we can to make sure they have the best experience possible at Ball State.” The money the university gives SGA is based on how much they spend, so if SGA has a significant amount of money roll over into the next year, the university will cut funding. Mullaney said the Alliance executive board had around $3,000 left over, and that money has not yet been added to the current SGA’s budget.

Martez Hester has never been to Texas. Then again, there were a lot of things the Ball State safety hadn’t done before this season. As he heads into the first road game of the season at North Texas, it will also be Hester’s first road game as a Ball State football player. Hester has been in a trial by fire of INDIVIDUAL STATS sorts in the 2013 season. Few redshirt MARTEZ HESTER, freshmen get the op- REDSHIRT FRESHMAN SAFETY portunity that Hester has this season. On Aug. 29, Hester made his first collegiate start against Illinois State, and got anther start the next week against Army. “It was definitely • 6-foot-2 exciting,” Hester said • 188 pounds about his first start. • North Cobb High School “It was something • 2013: 8 tackles I’ve never felt before. Just another level of excitement.” He tallied five total tackles and one pass breakup in the 51-28 win against Illinois State. “The first game was what I was expecting,” said Shannon Morrison, Ball State defensive backs coach. “The lights came on in his first college game. ... In the second half he came in and refocused him. Since then, he’s done well.” Hester will be tested by North Texas’ quarterback, senior Derek Thompson. Thompson has averaged 272 yards passing per game in 2013. He has thrown for four touchdowns in 2013. Of the 25 different players who have started at least one game this season, Hester is the youngest. He turned 19 last month.

Dill Street Bar & Grill officially opens, adds gated area Cleo’s Bourbon Bar, Redbird Tequila & Taco Bar to reopen ARIC CHOKEY CHIEF REPORTER | aachokey@bsu.edu
After giving the public a preview over the weekend, Dill Street Bar officially opened its doors Wednesday for its grand opening. Attendees heard Dill Street’s new sound system, an amenity that wasn’t present for the soft opening that occurred during the weekend. “If you want to max it out, it’ll rumble your chest, so I’m pretty excited to be honest,” said Jake Larimore, kitchen manager of
Dill Street Bar. Other features the bar added that they didn’t have at the soft opening included a gated entrance area and a 20-piece light system. “We didn’t have our lights going, so there were general comments of ‘it seemed kind of dull’ compared to the old place, but it wasn’t finished either,” Larimore said. Moving from the old location and renovating the new space with all of the new equipment took the owners and the staff several months to complete. “I spent most of my summer, even though we weren’t open, setting everything up and taking everything down,” Larimore said. “Most of the stuff in here is pretty new.”
