This is the team’s Mid-American Conference opener. “Anytime we can provide opportunities for students to support the Cardinals, in any matter, is what we want to do,” director of marketing Sean Sullivan said. “This was an opportunity on our schedule where we thought we had one of our key MAC rivals to kick off the conference calendar, so why not try and rally the students to take a little trip with us.” The bus will hold 100 Ball State students, costing $30 per ticket, which includes the bus ride and a ticket to the game. Food is not included in the ticket. Students may bring a snack for the bus ride or extra money for concessions at the game.

We weren’t allowed to wear shorts or tank tops to class.” Proximity was also important to Harris. “I’m from Fort Wayne. I’d been to Ball State before and I was familiar with the campus,” she said. “Being far from home wasn’t easy for me.”

He picked that spot because of the windows that faced outside. Umbach and his wife spent years tending to it, but as his health began to decline, he was unable to give the garden the time and effort he had in previous years. A group of friends offered to help. They planned it for Aug. 30 and got tools from Minnetrista. After seven years of battling brain cancer, Umbach died at age 64 at home the night before. Still, about 15 people showed up to pull saplings and weeds the next day. They wanted to keep the garden beautiful for Umbach. “It helped a lot of us deal with [Umbach’s death],” said John Lorch, chairman of the department of mathematical sciences said. “By allowing it to go forward, it helped

5 THINGS TO KNOW

A SCOTTISH ‘YES’ VOTE ALSO MEANS EXITING EUROPEAN UNION ,NATO

BRUSSELS (AP) — If Scottish voters this week say yes to independence, not only will they tear up the map of Great Britain, they’ll shake the twin pillars of Western Europe’s postwar prosperity and security — the European Union and the U.S.-led NATO defense alliance. In breaking away from the rest of the United Kingdom, Scotland would automatically find itself outside both the EU and NATO, and have to reapply to join both, officials from those Brussels-based organizations have stressed. For the EU especially, Scottish re-entry could be a long and arduous process, with other countries dead set against letting the Scots retain the privileges awarded Britain: the so-called opt-outs from being required to use the euro single currency and to join the Schengen zone.

2. KERRY: U.S. OPEN TO TALKS WITH IRAN ON IS PARIS (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry says he won’t shut the door on the possibility of working with Iran against a common enemy in the Islamic State militant group, but the two nations won’t coordinate on military action. Kerry also ruled out coordinating with the Syrian government, although he vaguely described ways to communicate to avoid mistakes should

the U.S. and its allies begin bombing the Sunni extremist group’s safe haven there. He spoke to a small group of reporters Monday after international diplomats met in Paris, pledging to fight the Islamic State group “by any means necessary.” Neither Iran nor Syria, which together share most of Iraq’s borders, were invited to the conference.

3. DEMOCRACY? NO, AFGHANS SAY AFTER VOTE KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — The ballot counting in Afghanistan’s fivemonth-long presidential election is finished, but as negotiations continue over the country’s future political power structure, many here are asking: Does my vote count? On Monday, the country’s Electoral Complaints Commission began ruling on grievances from the candidates following word a day earlier that the election committee had finished

reviewing all ballots cast in the second round. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon welcomed the step and said that the Afghan people’s wish to achieve “a peaceful, democratic leadership transition must be respected.” After a presidential election that has taken nearly half a year, capped by delays over fraud investigations and behind-the-scenes power sharing talks, many here don’t like the feel of democracy.

4. ‘MINECRAFT’ COULD BOOST MICROSOFT REACH NEW YORK (AP) — Microsoft will acquire the maker of the long-running hit game Minecraft for $2.5 billion as the company continues to invest in its Xbox gaming platform and looks to grab attention on mobile phones. The technology company said it will buy Stockholm-based game maker Mojang in a deal expected to close in late 2014.

Minecraft, which lets users build in and explore a Lego-like virtual multiplayer world, has been downloaded 100 million times on PC alone since its launch in 2009. It is the most popular online game on Xbox, and the top paid app for Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android operating system in the U.S. Microsoft said it will to continue to make the game available on all platforms.

5. CITY CREATES CELLPHONE SIDEWALK LANE BEIJING (AP) — Taking a cue from an American TV program, the Chinese city of Chongqing has created a smartphone sidewalk lane, offering a path for those too engrossed in messaging and tweeting to watch where they’re going. But the property manager says it’s intended to be ironic — to remind people

that it’s dangerous to tweet while walking the street. “There are lots of elderly people and children in our street, and walking with your cellphone may cause unnecessary collisions here,” said Nong Cheng, the marketing official with Meixin Group, which manages the area.

RESTORING WINNING WAYS Cardinals improve to 3-1-2 on the season following win, tie against tough competition at Navy Tournament

ZACH CAINS CHIEF REPORTER

he Ball State soccer team entered the Navy Tournament looking to regain its momentum. After starting the season with two consecutive wins, the Cardinals were 0-1-1 in the next two matches. “There are a lot of things I’ve seen I like, but I’ve also seen a lot I’m not happy with and that we really need to work on,” head coach Craig Roberts said. Due to its match on Sept. 5 against Valparaiso being canceled, Ball State had two weeks to prepare for the tournament. “Each position worked on something different every day,” sophomore goalkeeper Brooke Dennis said. “We did things like running, footwork, positioning on the field and, of course, worked on many things as a team in scrimmages.” In Ball State’s first match of the tournament against Delaware, it appeared as if the extra practice was helping. At least defensively. Deep into the second half, the score remained locked at zero, with both sides unable to find a crack in its opponent’s defense. It wasn’t until the match’s 65th minute, when Ball State’s Leah Mattingly scored off a penalty kick, giving the Cardinals a 1-0 lead they would not relinquish. Dennis continued her stellar play, recording her third shut-out in five games to begin the season. “Teamwork was something I pushed a lot before the tournament, and remaining together until the end.” Roberts said. Ball State’s second opponent, Navy, presented an entirely different challenge, Having already defeated a James Madison squad that was ranked in the Top 25 earlier in the year, the Midshipmen entered the tournament playing with

Linebackers have ‘weird’ relationship on field, off Pair finished first, third on team in tackles last season |

DAVID POLASKI CHIEF REPORTER @DavidPolaski

Ball State linebackers Ben Ingle and Zack Ryan are a little different, at least that’s what Ball State football defensive coordinator and inside linebackers coach Kevin Kelly said. Different is an understatement. “We’re really pretty weird,” Ryan said. “It’s funny when you see us together, because we’ll just say whatever we want. We’ve reached that point in our friendship.” Ingle, a redshirt junior, and Ryan, a redshirt sophomore, began starting at the same time. Both players made their first starts against Illinois State in the 2013 season opener. Ryan said they were nervous right before the game started, but they talked to each other and settled down. Ingle helped him grow and become comfortable adjusting to the faster pace of college football, but it didn’t come without quirks. “He’s probably the weirdest guy I’ve ever met in my life,” Ingle said. “He’s really off, really random, really weird. You never know what to expect from him.”

Zack Ryan and Ben Ingle watch as another defensive player attempts to cause an interception against Indiana State University during the game last Saturday. Ryan and Ingle both started in the season opener in 2013 and have developed an odd friendship in the course of their time together.

Last season, Ingle led Ball State’s defense with 116 tackles, Ryan was third with 92. The two patrolled the middle of the field, dropping back into coverage to disrupt opponents passing games and engulfing running backs coming out of the backfield. After over a season of starting almost every game next to each other, the pair has developed confidence that the other will execute during plays. “You have to feel comfortable with each other,” Ryan said. “If you’re out there with a guy who doesn’t know what he’s doing, you feel like

you have to do their job for them. I never have to worry about Ben not doing his job.” That comfort didn’t always exist. When Ryan came to Ball State, he said his initial feeling was, “How am I going to work with this person?” but chemistry formed once he and Ingle started getting to know each other. After graduating from high school, athletes can struggle to adapt to having new teammates after playing with old friends for several years. Ryan said that was the case when he first started practicing with Ball State, but Ingle

helped him form new bonds with other players The pair worked out together and starting hanging out off the field as well. They room together at hotels, and although Ryan lives off campus and Ingle is on campus, they manage to see each other and hang out every day, prompting what Ingle said were “crazy weird” situations. “Linebackers are always a little different,” Kelly said. “Anytime you play inside and you’re getting knocked around like that on every play, you’re going to be a little different. But that’s why I love coaching those two.” During the game, Ingle said he and Ryan are two of the goofiest players on the team, but they know when to settle down and become serious. They talk in between plays about what happened during the play and communicate to put each other in the best possible position. “There’s a huge amount of trust that’s developed between us,” Ryan said. “If Ben has to use his right shoulder to bounce the ball out, I’ll over the top, ready.” But once they’re standing on the sidelines or the game is over, it’s time to have fun again. “On the field, we’re a little crazy, but you can’t be all serious when you’re playing football, you have to have fun,” Ryan said. “We’re not normal people, not even close.”

Parking in Village set to double Finished parking garage, BY THE NUMBERS new on-street spaces 135 parking spots to add nearly 100 spots in the Village Promenade parking garage 55 parking spots LAURA ARWOOD STAFF REPORTER | llarwood@bsu.edu will be created on North and Dill streets The number of parking spots in the village will double this fall as construction comes to an end. There will be open spots in both the Village Promenade parking garage and on North and Dill streets. Currently, there are only three parking lots and some street parking in the Village. There are more than 135 spots in the garage, and 55 additional spots will be created on North and Dill streets. Todd Donati, executive director of Muncie Redevelopment, said they will be almost doubling parking from the 100 spots available now. Donati said the the garage should be open soon, and the on-street parking will be available before October. The amount of new spots was determined by a city ordinance. The cost of the new spots will be covered by using metered parking, he said. “We want to have a fluctuation in traffic,” Donati said. “We don’t really want someone just camping out or using the new spots as a place to always park their car.” Donati has been working at Muncie Redevelopment to fix common problems around Muncie. One of the problems has been parking around Ball State, especially off of Univer-

Transfer students are not counted in Ball State’s graduation rate, another difference from incoming freshmen. “Most graduation rates focus on firsttime, full-time freshmen. Transfers enter institutions at a variety of points along their academic careers,” Todd said. “Freshmen are, in a sense, starting at the beginning.” Most transfer students have to count on a late graduation date, Ferguson said. “I don’t think a lot of students are able to pack in an entire major in three years,” Ferguson said. “It depends entirely on the major.

It’d be a little more local. The goal would have every day look like a Friday night as far as activity level.” Brooke Enterkin, a junior accounting major, said she has had trouble finding places to park in the Village. “I’ve probably driven around looking for spots for about the same time I spent in the stores,” Enterkin said. There are some spots that are typically open outside some businesses, like the T.I.S. parking lot and First Merchants Bank, but signs indicate that those spots come with a risk of getting towed. Enterkin is excited for the new spots coming to the Village. “One time I had to park near the Philips 66 and walk to the Village, which I find a little bit ridiculous,” Enterkin said. “The Village is so popular with students, there should be more park-

TRANSFERS: Changing schools brings unique challenge, adviser says Harris was given scholarship opportunities because she was a swimmer, but not all transfer students receive money. According to Ball State’s website, three types of scholarships are awarded to transfer students. For incoming freshmen, there are 16. “Incoming freshmen and transfers are two different cohorts,” Todd said. “Both have scholarships available to them, need-based and merit, but because of their different statuses, freshmen and transfers are eligible for different scholarships.

I’ve made a great decision,” she said. “I love Ball State. I love the size. I love the campus. I’m really happy here.”

BALL STATE TARGETS AUTISM IN COLLEGE MUNCIE, Ind. (AP) — Ball State University educators are planning a daylong symposium aimed at helping college students with autism. The university will host the symposium of educators Sept. 26 on the Muncie campus. Event organizer Lyn Jones said she hopes to fill a gap in help for college students with autism. The Centers for Disease Control estimates that one in every 88 children falls somewhere on the autism spectrum. Ball State special education professor David McIntosh will keynote the event. He is co-leader of the university’s autism and applied behavioral analysis degree program with Susan Wilczynski, who formerly led the National Autism Center.

PRINCETON, Ind. (AP) — Deputies with a southwestern Indiana sheriff’s department will soon be equipped with body cameras designed to collect potentially crucial evidence during police interactions with suspects. The Gibson County Council last week unanimously approved allocating $20,000 in riverboat revenue to pay for 20 cameras and computer accessories for the county’s deputies. Sheriff George Ballard told council members it was his job to bring the potential value of body cameras to the council’s attention in the wake of a Ferguson, Mo., police officer’s fatal shooting of a teenager that sparked days of rioting in that community. The Princeton Daily Clarion reports Councilman George Ankenbrand said the $20,000 for the cameras is money well spent if it can prevent a big lawsuit. Ankenbrand is a former county prosecutor.

COURT PUTS INDIANA GAY MARRIAGE RULING ON HOLD Stay granted to state as appeal passes in Chicago, moves to Federal judges | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS INDIANAPOLIS — Same-sex couples hoping to get married in Indiana will have to wait until the U.S. Supreme Court addresses the question of whether gay marriage bans are constitutional. The seventh U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago on Monday approved a stay sought by Indiana’s attorney general of the appeals court’s Sept. 4 ruling that found Indiana and Wisconsin’s gay marriage bans to be unconstitutional. The Wisconsin and Indiana cases shifted to the seventh Circuit as a combined case after both states appealed separate June ruling by federal judges, which found their bans unconstitutional. Wisconsin had not requested a stay based on the wording of the ruling issued by a federal judge in its case, but

the two states asked the U.S. Supreme Court last week to take up their combined case to decide once and for all whether gay marriage should be legal in all 50 states. Gay marriage is on the high court’s Sept. 29 agenda for a closed-door conference, but it’s unclear if the justices will decide then whether to take up the issue. The justices could put off deciding whether to take up gay marriage until January and still be able to issue a decision by late June. Indiana attorney general’s office spokesman Bryan Corbin said in a statement Monday that the seventh Circuit’s stay will remain in effect until the high court “decides whether to accept the government defendants’ appeal.” “With the status quo still in place, Indiana’s 92 county clerks still are required to continue to follow Indiana’s existing statute and can issue marriage licenses to opposite-sex applicants only,” Corbin said. The appeals court ruling in the Indiana and Wisconsin case came the same day that 32 states asked the Supreme Court to settle whether gay marriage bans are unconstitutional.

Same-sex marriage is legal in 19 states and the District of Columbia. Bans that have been overturned in some other states continue to make their way through the courts. Since last year, the vast majority of federal rulings have declared same-sex marriage bans unconstitutional. Kyle Megrath, the marriage coordinator with Hoosiers Unite for Marriage, said the stay issued Monday had been expected. He noted that both Indiana and the plaintiffs challenging the state’s gay marriage ban have asked the Supreme Court to hear the case on appeal. “We remain hopeful that they will do so and that they will embrace the legal sentiment that these bans harm Hoosier and American families and clearly violate our Constitution,” Megrath said in his statement. Although Indiana’s gay marriage ban remains in effect, the state has agreed to recognize two out-of-state marriages involving same-sex couples who live in Indiana. Those two cases involve two lesbian couples where one of the women’s partners is battling ovarian cancer.

UMBACH: Professor’s memory, accomplishments remembered by family, university | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “You could always see how passionate he was in the classroom,” Flynt said. “He always had time for his students.” He would go as far as helping Flynt’s friend with résumés and cover letters in graduate school, most of the time without his daughter knowing. “He was always willing to help people, and he didn’t do it because he expected anything in return. He was just that kind of person,” Flynt said. Ralph Bremigan, professor of mathematical sciences, said Umbach had a “welcoming” sense about him. For the last few years, members of the Bangladeshi community, a community heavily represented within the department, would host a dinner with a series of festivities. One year, Bremigan said, Umbach learned to recite poetry in Bengali and sang a Bengali folk song at the event. He made a point to learn how to say “hello” in as many languages as he could and made sure to properly pronounce his students’ names. “He wanted us to be a place of peace and welcome,” Bremigan said. When people retire, the department throws a retirement dinner and presents the retiree with a blanket depicting different scenes of Ball State. Although Umbach was not healthy enough at the time for a retirement party, he was given a blanket the day before he died.

« He was good at what he did, but... talking to him,

you never felt like you were in an intellectual battle. »

ONLINE CONDOLENCES

JOHN LORCH, chairman of the department of mathematical sciences

“We have lost a true friend. Words fall short of explaining our sorrow. We will remember and cherish all our memories with Dale. He will always stay with us. We will think of him with a smile, remembering his humor, his friendship. We love you, Dale. Rest in peace.” - GIRAY AND ASKIM

BEYOND BALL STATE

Umbach enjoyed his career and worked hard, but he didn’t let the little things get to him. “He was serious about his work, but he liked woodworking. He liked to go scuba diving,” Lorch said. “His ship wasn’t going to sink because of some wacky thing that happened in the department. He was very balanced.” Outside of the university, Umbach was a proud grandfather of five, avid gardener and die-hard Cincinnati Bengals fan. He was a member of St. Francis Assisi Parish and participated in a skiing club called “The Penguins.” He wasn’t, however, a very good gambler, despite studying games of chance. One year, he saved a few hundred dollars to spend on the craps tables in Las Vegas, hoping to turn a simple trip into an experiential learning opportunity. The dedicated statistician, with all of his experiential knowledge, lost all of the money within 15 minutes. “That sums him up perfectly. He was good at what he did, but he was human,” Lorch said. “Talking to him, you never felt like you were in an intellectual battle with him.”

BATTLING CANCER

When Umbach was first diagnosed, colleagues remember it

as a shock. He was expected to live six to nine months. In 2011, Umbach filed for a patent for a shirt he had designed for medical patients and others with implantable ports. Many cancer patients, and others who routinely receive intravenous care, have implantable ports placed in their chest or abdomen. Umbach created a shirt that allowed easier and more comfortable access to these ports, and received the patent in 2012. After a series of surgeries, chemotherapy and radiation treatments, Umbach finished treatments in August 2013. There was a party to celebrate his going off chemotherapy and being cancer-free. The next scan showed the cancer was back. “At the end, he had all kinds of reasons to just enter black depression and be bitter, I didn’t see evidence of that,” Lorch said. “That was never the way he was.” Lorch said he was never short of people who wanted to help him, and he let them be there. Instead, he was humorous and tried to help people through their sadness. “I can’t even begin to think that there is anybody on the face of this Earth that handled it better than he did,” Lorch said. “Nobody.”

OKTEN

“I am so sorry for your (our) loss and wish words could somehow help. Dale was a great and constant friend to me during our years together at BSU - the world is a poorer place without him here, but I look forward to that grand time of reunion someday.” - KERRY JONES “I was incredibly saddened to hear about his passing. I was a student of his and thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent in class with him. He actually taught me more about life than he did math, reminding me to stay happy and positive even in difficult situations. The Ball State math department will not be the same without his goofy, fun self walking the halls of Robert Bell. I have been praying for him since I arrived at Ball State and will continue to do so, as well as pray for his family and friends during this difficult time.” - KARI WEST SOURCE: obitsmeeksmortuary.com
