Most of the time, because I live on that end of campus [south], there are usually never any spots for my 9:30 [a.m.] class,” Page said. “The other side [Worthen Arena], there is usually a spot, but you have to park way in the back and go really early in the morning. It kind of sucks.”

T
he Yorktown Fire Department received a call at 10:30 p.m. about a motorcycle accident in January 2013. The cyclist was driving down a curvy road in Yorktown when he lost control and went into a stretch of trees. The roads were clear, but a layer of snow covered the ground. Kurt Globerger had just arrived for one of his mandatory monthly overnight shifts, and he loaded into the fire truck with the senior firefighters to head to the scene.

“I didn’t know what to expect,” Globerger said. “It was the first automobile accident I had been on.” Globerger had just finished his training to become a volunteer firefighter at the beginning of the year, and most of the calls he responded to were medical calls, which he could not assist in yet. This was the first call where he could put his training to the test. The firefighters arrived on the scene first and located the biker 20 yards into the tress pinned beneath the bike. Following the senior firefighters’ lead, he assisted in freeing him from the bike, stabilizing and transporting him to the ambulance. “The medical calls weren’t much of a rush and I was just carrying bags and holding open doors,” Globerger said. “That accident
was the first time I actually sat back and thought, ‘Wow, I feel like a fireman.’” Globerger is just one of the handful of students who, on top of a full course load, volunteer at one of the nine local fire departments in Delaware County. Globerger, a senior criminal justice major, is the only student volunteering at the Yorktown Fire Department, but at any given time there are one to three students volunteering at each of the departments in Muncie, training officer Chris Thorner said. “There is always interest from students in volunteering at these departments,” Thorner said. “I’d say the ratio of student volunteers compared to those that just live in the community is about one in 10.”

Late game woes plague Ball State
Time expires with football on 2-yard line in loss to FCS school DAVID POLASKI CHIEF REPORTER | @DavidPolaski Through the first three games, Ball State football’s offense has gone silent when the fourth quarter starts. During the fourth quarter, the Cardinals have been outscored 24-0, after outscoring opponents 63-30 in the first three quarters. “I don’t think we’re out of shape, I think our summer conditioning program is excellent,” Ball State head coach Pete Lembo said. “The situations have been different every week.” Two weeks ago against Colgate, Ball State spent most of the fourth quarter trying to run out the clock, not trying to score. Against Iowa last week, Ball State tried a similar strategy, which backfired as Iowa took the lead with a minute left in the game. With the game on the line against Indiana State, Ball State came up two yards short, after quarterback Ozzie Mann was tackled on the two-yard line and the clock expired.

« People wonder why I spend my
time here so often instead of going out on weekends, and it’s simple; I made a commitment and this is what I love doing. I don’t regret trading in a stereotypical college life for what I have now. It’s something that I’ve been around my whole life.
