An underage student looking to pass off a fake ID near campus may be handing their illegal license to a cop. Indiana excise officers are stepping behind the counter for a revival of their Cops in Shops program, one more tactic in their push to cut down on underage drinking. “If you are buying FAKE ID beverages for a minor REPERCUSSIONS or using false ID or try- • Owning a fake ID is a ing to get beverages unclass A misdemeanor, derage you may be trywhich can carry a ing to purchase it from sentence of up to one an officer,” Brandon year in prison and a Thomas, an Indiana ex$5,000 fine. cise officer, said. • Attempting to purchase alcohol with the ID is A simple Google an additional 60 days search will pop up in prison and another several often-contra$500 are added on. dictory laws and regulations about posses- Information from Indiana code sion and use of fake identification. Thomas is quick to point out that simply owning a fake ID in Indiana is a class A misdemeanor which can carry a sentence of up to one year in prison and a $5,000 fine, according to Indiana codes 35-43-5-2.5 and 35-50-3-2. Once a person tries to purchase alcohol with that ID, an additional 60 days in prison and another $500 in fines are added on per IC 35-50-3-4. Getting police officers inside stores instead of waiting outside to bust underage students and liquor store workers not only cuts down on illegal drinking but also helps teach clerks about what to look for on an ID.
Take a look at the career of former Ball State football player, Austin Holtz, from his last game as a Cardinal to his final days of football.

he average career of a National Football League player lasts less than four years. Austin Holtz’s lasted less than four months. But the former Ball State offensive lineman always knew he had a backup plan in place. “I was all right [with being cut],” Holtz said. “I knew I had my college degree. I knew I was going to be all right.” NFL teams started calling Holtz during his senior year with the Cardinals. He knew he had a career in criminal justice worth pursuing, but after hosting a pro day at Ball State, he was close to opening the door to a life in football. Though no team drafted Holtz, he received a call from the Lions immediately after the agonizing seventh round ended. When Holtz told his parents, brother and sister of the news they all stood there, staring at each other in disbelief. His career in criminal justice was going to be pushed back for a little while. Holtz joined the Lions, hoping to capitalize on the opportunity he was

Three days later, he was signed by the New York Giants. As quickly as Holtz signed with the Giants, he was released, leaving him again without a job. It was at this moment that Holtz said he truly grasped just how meaningful finishing college was. “I just realized how important my degree was,” he said. “‘Cause like the guys used to say on the Lions, ‘NFL stands for Not For Long.’”

hrinky Dinks are a children’s craft that have been around since the 1970s. While they are usually reserved for moms giving their kids something to do on a rainy day, with some creativity you can make custom pieces that are anything but ordinary.

Shrinky Dinks Scissors Sand paper Hole punch Permanent markers
Oven Colored pencils Cookie sheet Print out of jar Extras
1
Shrinky Dinks come in a variety of styles, all of which have their advantages and disadvantages. The ones that I used for this project were clear, meaning that I needed to sand them. You sand so that the ink or pencil that you put on the plastic will stick and not slide right off. Sand in a circular motion, or else your ink will run.
2
Shrinky Dinks will make your end product much smaller than they originally were. If you want a charm to be an inch big, make your design three inches big, and so on. Simple designs work better, with heavy lines that will be easy to trace and look nice and clean. Tape a piece of your sanded plastic to the paper.
4 5
WHAT YOU NEED:
3
Trace your design with a permanent marker. You can use fine point or a larger one, depending on how you like it. For finer details, you will want to use the fine tip, as the larger one will put a lot of black on your project.
6
| FRESHMAN COMMON READER
4
Add color to your design. You can add color with colored pencils to give it a nice opaque look, or you can use colored permanent markers for something a bit darker.
5
Cut out your piece. You may want to use fine-pointed scissors for this so that you can get into all the little details of your design. If you’re going to use your piece as a charm, use a hole punch to make a hole for the jump ring.
6
Bake your piece. Follow the instructions from your packaging. Don’t worry; while baking, the plastic is going to do some weird stuff (like curling up upon itself.) It’ll be OK. I know what it’s doing. When it comes out, it’s going to be very hot, so don’t touch it right away. However, use a towel or piece of paper to press the piece down to make sure it’s flat.
7
If you made a charm, add a jump ring. You can also add extras, like other charms. The good thing about these is that you can make them into anything that you want. Look into other Shrinky Dink projects; you’ll be amazed at what can be made with these basic steps.

Student recovering well from bike EXCISE: Workers face fine for missing fake licenses accident, released from hospital BSU cycling team member does not remember crash |
TODD BLEVINS STAFF REPORTER tdblevins@bsu.edu
The student who flipped over his bike handlebars on McKinley Avenue has been released from the hospital, and does not think his bike accident was due to a chain breaking. On Sept. 5, Alex Raaen, a sophomore film production major, crashed near the CAP building while riding his brand-new road bike. Nikko Berrios, a senior professional selling major, saw Raaen flipping over his bike’s handlebars and went to help. He thought the accident was the result of a broken chain. Raaen fractured his skull and was at Ball Memorial Hospital for five days after the accident. After he was released last Wednesday, he returned to class Tuesday. He said he will be cautious in resuming a full schedule. Raaen didn’t remember anything about the crash. “The last thing I remember is swinging my leg over my bike, leaving on the way to German class,” Raaen said. “I don’t remember the action. I just woke up in the hospital.” After inspecting his bike, Raaen noticed his chain was not broken. “My best guess is that I was probably standing on

Alex Raaen, a sophomore film production major, flipped over his bike’s handlebars. The incident was his first serious accident.
« The last thing I remember is swinging my leg over my bike, leaving on the way to German class “I don’t remember the action. I just woke up in the hospital. » ALEX RAAEN, sophomore film production major
the pedals and there was a particularly unsmooth gear change, so I likely flipped off the pedals,” he said. In addition to riding his bike to class, Raaen is also a member of the Ball State cy-
cling team. The team typically rides 40-50 miles per week, so Raaen is no stranger to biking. Raaen said the crash on campus was his first serious accident. “I’ve had crashes where you
fall over and scrape your knee, but nothing like this,” he said. Though he always wears a helmet while riding competitively and recreationally, Raaen typically does not wear a helmet while on campus. He said the accident will make him more likely to wear one in the future. The university cycling team has started training for the new season. However, Raaen said he probably won’t rejoin the team anytime soon because of his head injury.
Chris Johnson, general manager at Muncie Liquors, said he welcomes the program into his stores because it keeps out the types of customers that could result in a $500 fine for a worker if they were to miss a fake ID and serve to a minor. He said getting a fake and using it in a liquor store isn’t worth the investment. “My people are well-trained in what they do,” he said. “Wait till you are 21, or get it somewhere else, rather than paying $100 for an ID and having it taken away the first week you try to use it.” Liquor store workers are required to have a state license to sell alcohol which means taking a class in spotting licenses, underage patrons and the effects of over-intoxication. A person must then pass a test to prove they understood the content. Most fakes are caught in the first couple months of classes at Ball State, Johnson said, but many students, after being turned away from bars and liquor stores, take their fake IDs to grocery stores or super markets where employees don’t go through the same training or oversight.
Thomas said officers are trying to counter this activity by showing up in places like CVS and Meijer to catch those students that tried to beat the system. “I know when I started using it six or so years ago there were some nights where I would write up half a dozen citations for fake IDs - it was pretty rampant,” he said. “Now I may get one or two a night depending on where I am.” That doesn’t necessarily mean there are fewer IDs out there though, he said, students may just be getting more selective about using them. For Johnson the only way to make a real dent in curbing minors from buying alcohol is to put trained people behind the counter anywhere liquor is sold. He said stores should put all alcohol in one room, like many stores used to, and require anyone entering that room to show their ID to a licensed employee. Despite its flaws, Johnson said he welcomes any program that stops underage drinking. “You’re never going to stop underage drinking,” he said. “[But] it does deter some people from trying to come in [the] store and getting it.”
said she thought the proposal seemed like a good idea in theory, but knowing the material and teaching the material are two completely different things. Newland had teachers in the past who were not primarily teachers. “They could be experts on something, but they have no idea how to help students,” Newland said. “They got frustrated with us when we didn’t
understand and they didn’t know how to teach it.” She said Ball State’s program teaches students how to teach, not just learning the material. Janna Ferguson, a chemistry teacher, agreed and said the educational background is necessary. “We want to make a difference for the students, and it is a little unfair that they can just walk in and teach.”
TEACHERS: Dean of Teachers College says traditional program ‘prepares a person’
| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 By the time they graduate, they are an effective teacher, whereas in these other routes, there’s not really an accountable way to determine how effective they are.” Jacobson said he has concerns with the new permit plan. “I know personally, if I had a child in a classroom where the teacher had not gone through
a rigorous preparation program, I would have concerns,” Jacobson said. “Not to say they might not be a good teacher, they could have natural abilities, but going through a traditional program with a supervised field experiences certainly prepares a person.” Laurie Mullen, associate dean of teacher education, said since universities and others who prepare quality
educators are under extreme accountability and assessment requirements, other programs should have to follow those same requirements. Mullen said for the education program at Ball State, they seek the top 25 percent of high school graduates. “We’re trying to attract that caliber of students and we have the state board of education in a sense saying, ‘oh
really, anybody can teach,’” Mullen said. “So it’s that message that I think is confusing to students currently in educator preparation programs.” She said having that idea floating around is not detrimental to the education program, but it is to the message of qualified excellence in teaching they want the school to represent.

MOVING ON
These days, Holtz has returned to the field in which he initially intended to enter, serving as a correctional officer at the Indianapolis Reentry Education Facility. He hopes to one day become a juvenile parole officer, as working with children has always been a passion. “I’ve always been big on helping kids, giving back to kids,” he said. “Helping them figure out what they need to do and stuff like that. I don’t know, it’s just something I’ve always liked doing.” While his current duties of working around the prison and countless hours of training may feel dull at times, Holtz is discovering new ways to add excitement to his life. He and his girlfriend were recently engaged, with the wedding scheduled for October 2015, and even though his playing days are over, he still finds a way to connect football to working as a member of the law. “It’s always a competition. Just life in general, not just law-enforcement,” Holtz said. “You got to compete with the next guy. You’re always trying to do better. For me to get a job on a police department, it’s all about competing and that’s all football was.”

BALL STATE, INDIANA RENEW RIVALRY
The Ball State field hockey team is off to its best start in nine years, after opening the season 3-2. All records will be thrown out the window, however, when Ball State hosts No. 17 Indiana at 4 p.m. on Wednesday. “We all have a rivalry against IU, we want to be the better Indiana team,” senior Tarel Teach said. Ball State’s previous two matches with Indiana have both been decided by a goal, with the Cardinals needing double overtime to defeat the Hoosiers in 2010. The Cardinals rank second in the Mid-American Conference in both goals scored and goals per game, and will look to continue applying pressure on opposing defenses. “We’re going to be really relentless tomorrow, really scrappy,” junior midfielder Bethany Han said. “We’re just going to do everything we can to get the win tomorrow.” With a quarter of the schedule having already been played, every game matters as Ball State nears conference play. “The schedule was really designed to really challenge us right before conference starts.” head coach Beth Maddox said. After playing Indiana, Ball State will travel to Evanston, Ill., for a 12:30 p.m. matchup with Northwestern. – ROBBY GENERAL

WOMEN’S GOLF
CARDINALS FALTER LATE, FINISH IN 9TH Ball State women’s golf coach Katherine Mowat’s homecoming to Louisville didn’t translate to a victory, as the Cardinals finished 9th out of 17 teams at the Cardinal Cup. Mowat, a former All-American golfer at Louisville, saw her team shoot a 59-over par at the two-day cup. Sophomore Allison Lindley, who began Tuesday’s third round in 6th place, shot 8-over par in the final round, to finish in a tie for 14th. She was the Cardinals top finisher for the second event in a row. Freshman Kayla Adamson and senior Jenna Hague finished tied for 29th and tied for 47th respectively, while sophomore Kelsey Sear finished tied for 50th, at 19-over par. The Ball State women’s golf team returns to action on Sept. 22, when the team hosts the Cardinal Classic at The Players Club in Yorktown, Ind. – STAFF REPORTS
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.
Q: Toledo has faced some pretty good competition, and it seems like their secondary has struggled a little bit; what do you think those issues are? A: They’ve had a few injuries at corner, and I don’t know who might be back and who won’t be back. They’ve gone up against some outstanding receiver corps at Missouri and Cincinnati … it’s a combination of things.
Q: With Toledo having so many weapons on offense, who are you looking to on the defense to be a playmaker and slow down the Toledo attack? A: You need 11 guys who do their job, you need to be in position all the time … if you can fit things right and make sure what’s supposed to be a four- or five-yard gain doesn’t turn into a 14- or 15-yard gain, that’s critical.
Q: With the success Toledo quarterback Logan Woodside has had, how [does your defense] go about reading a quarterback when there isn’t a lot of film on him? A: Their system is their system. Fortunately, there is some film from last week, they’re not going to drastically change their system … I think there’s plenty to evaluate there. Slowing him down there is another story.
INDIVIDUAL SCORES PLACE
David’s Explanation Against Missouri and Cincinnati, Toledo allowed 49 and 58 points respectively. On paper, the Rockets are struggling defensively, Some of Toledo’s corners are suffering injuries, which resulted in giving up significant yardage and points. It seems to bode well for a struggling Ball State offense, possibly giving the team a shot to gain confidence moving forward.
David’s Explanation
Toledo quarterback Logan Woodside took over for Phillip Ely after Ely tore his ACL, and quickly threw for three touchdowns, 374 yards and completed 66 percent of his passes. He presents the most difficult challenge for the Ball State defense so far this season, trying to slow down a quarterback who has very little game film for them to watch. The Ball State defense will need to have its best game of the season if Ball State wants to have a shot at knocking off Toledo.

Ball State has forced just one turnover on defense, a fumble against Iowa. Heading into Toledo, a Mid-American Conference team with an offense Lembo described as the best he’s seen from Toledo since he’s been here, Ball State will be forced to make big plays defensively to stay in the game. In order to create turnovers, Lembo needs each player to execute and hope to force pressure.
