Defense works to make impact Team has 1 forced turnover, aims to average 2 per game |

DAVID POLASKI CHIEF REPORTER @DavidPolaski

Three games, one fumble recovery, no interceptions.

Through the start of the 2014-15 football season, the Ball State defense hasn’t forced the game-changing turnovers it did last year.

In the first three games last season, the defense forced six turnovers on its way to a 2-1 start.

“It’s something we’ve really talked about at great length,” defensive coordinator Kevin Kelly said. “Fumbles are sometimes luck, interceptions, we have to get more pressure so we can force the quarterback to short arm it.”

Ball State aims to average two takeaways a game, Kelly said, a far cry from the one turnover the defense has forced so far. The Cardinals’ two starting cornerbacks, Eric Patterson and Darius Conaway, have yet to force a turnover this season. Neither were available for comment.

Head coach Pete Lembo said there isn’t a single player on defense he needs to seize control and become a playmaker, but rather he needs all 11 players to execute at the same time.

mma Sulkowicz, a senior visual arts major at Columbia University, is turning a personal tragedy into a nationwide movement, and Ball State students are responding. A classmate allegedly raped Sulkowicz on the first day of her sophomore year. After a lack of university response, she decided to carry around a mattress, like the one that she was assaulted on, until her alleged rapist is either expelled or withdraws. Ball State students, including Jessica Smith, above, joined Sulkowicz on Wednesday by carrying mattresses around campus as a protest.

The aim was to raise awareness about on-campus sexual assaults, and how sex without consent is rape.

Local music festival cancels for 2014 Annual event loses 8th year to location, funding drawbacks ROSE SKELLY STAFF REPORTER | rmskelly@bsu.edu The eighth annual Muncie MusicFest has been canceled after problems with vendors, sponsors and scheduling conflicts.

Dozens of bands typically gather to entertain both local and out-of-state music fans during the festival.

This year, it would have been hosted in downtown Muncie.

“The problems started when the festival directors were told that they

couldn’t close off Walnut Street in downtown Muncie for the event,” Graham Watson, director and founder, said.

This limited the space the bands could play in, so the board tried to find indoor venues downtown.

“The Silo [a local bar] was the only one that was supportive of the festival and wanted to participate ... The Living Room [a multipurpose venue] was very supportive as well, but wasn’t available on the night of the festival,” Watson said.

Be Here Now, a local venue and a supporter of MusicFest 2013, was also booked the night of the festival.

Watson said funding for MusicFest was problematic as well.

The Muncie MusicFest, an annual event that would have celebrated its eighth year, was canceled this year due to issues with finding a site to host it. More than 50 local bands, like the Apathy Wizards, shown above playing at last year’s event, signed up to play.

The People’s Climate March takes place in Florida in 2012. This year, five Ball State students will travel to New York to take part in The People’s Climate March, which aims to be the biggest climate change march in history and will host more than 100,000. people from across the country.

Campus rallies for climate issues Professor plans local event, group to travel to New York City ALAN HOVORKA CHIEF REPORTER | afhovorka@bsu.edu

Along with more than 100,000 Americans from across the country, Ball State students will march for climate change on Sunday.

The People’s Climate March in New York City aims to be the first and largest climate march in history, Lindsay Meinman, media associate for the People’s March, said. Their goal is to attract the attention of more than 120 world leaders attending a U.N. Climate Summit on Sept. 23.

“There is this documentary called ‘Disruption’ and it basically gives the call to action for this march,” said Faye Lichtsinn, a junior anthropology and natural resources and environmental management major and a student attending the march. “It gives the background information for climate change and the

inaction of the [political] side of climate change in how we have signed treaties, but they aren’t being enforced, particularly in the U.S.” The purpose of the Climate Summit, which the march is centered on, is for world leaders to come up for an agenda for next year’s global climate resolution.

The U.N. 2015 climate resolution will dictate how countries will work together to combat the changing climate.

The reason for a two-day difference between when the march happens and when the summit happens is to make sure world leaders know about the people’s voice before they go into meetings on the 23rd, John Vann, director of the sustainability minor at Ball State, said.

There will be five students leaving at 9 p.m. Saturday. However, if more room becomes available, there are 11 more students on a waiting list.

The bus ride is free and the lodging is provided through donations from students and faculty such as, Vann, Carolyn Vann, a biology professor, and David Concepcion, chairperson of the department of philosophy and religious studies.

The New York march begins at 11:30 a.m. and will last all day, featuring speeches and more than 20 musical acts. The march itself is broken up into six blocs based on the various beliefs of people attending in an effort to clearly show the different messages of the march.

As part of the march, the students will travel along Central Park West, past the Rockefeller Center, Times Square and the New York City Port Authority.

Derek Tepe, a junior natural resources and environmental management major, wasn’t sure he was going to go at first, until he found out the cost of the trip was covered.

“It’s a very historic opportunity because you look at the big movements of the best and it’s like this could be very big,” Tepe said. “If I have the chance to be a part of it, I should take it.”

While there is a small number of Ball State students going to New York City, there will also be a rally on the grounds from noon to 2 p.m. Sunday at the Riverside United Methodist Church on Wheeling Avenue.

Vann, one of the organizers of the Muncie rally, expects to see about 200 people there.

Events like the one in Muncie will take place around the country and world.

“We are going to try get local attention, but we’re really showing support for the folks who went to New York City,” John Vann said. “These kinds of satellite rallies are being held all across the United States.”

Tepe hopes to come out of this with more than just a greater drive for change.

“It’s interesting how when something taps into that

OTHER EVENTS

• The border between Vancouver and Seattle will feature a rally where people will link hands across international borders. The message is to show “climate change knows no borders.”

• Organizers in Berlin have created a silent parade, a stream of cyclists and a march for children ending at the Brandenburg gate.

• A march in Colombia’s capital, Bogota, is expected to draw about 10,000 people calling for action.

RAYMOND GARCIA STAFF REPORTER ragarcia@bsu.edu

Four students have been nominated to fill the Student Government Association president pro tempore position after it was left vacant by Bryan Kubel, who took the role of vice president on Sept. 10.

Last week former vice president Carli Hendershot resigned after being hospitalized and diagnosed with severe anxiety and depression.

During Wednesday’s Student Government Association meeting, Kubel said he is excited to have four candidates running.

“I like seeing that there are people willing to step up and who are willing to work with the executive slate to make senate better,” he said. “All four are very qualified.”

At next week’s SGA meeting, the candidates will give a presentation about themselves and their platform points.

According to Senate bylaws, candidates must have completed at least 45 credit hours or three semesters with a minimum 2.7 cumulative grade point average. The president pro tempore will receive a stipend equal to two-thirds of in-state tuition, which is nearly $6,000.

NOMINEES

Jes Wade, a senior telecom-

munications sales and promotions major, said she is excited to have a second chance to run for pro tempore after she tried last year.

“It would be great to work with this year’s slate,” she said, “They have a lot of great ideas and I’d like to help them expand on them.”

Jacob Cash is a junior marketing major and entrepreneur-

ship and Spanish minor who has been in the senate since his freshman year.

“I want to be a bridge between the SGA senators and the executive board, so things can get done,” he said.

Steven Williams, a junior political science and criminal justice major, is a senator for the organizational caucus.

national runner-up.

This season was also the end of one of the most renowned high school coaching tenures in state history.

Steve Shondell was named the head women’s volleyball coach at Ball State in April 2010. Despite previous success, Steve Shondell was slightly concerned about beginning a college coaching career at such a late age.

“The first year went extremely well, and I felt like the girls really accepted me that first year,” he said. “I’ve been able to establish really good relationships with I think every player that’s ever come through the program.”

In his first season at Ball State, Steve Shondell led the Cardinals to a 24-5 mark, including a 14-2 Mid-American Conference record. The team captured the regular season title.

Since then, Steve Shondell has guided Ball State to an NCAA At-Large Berth in 2011 and a MAC West Division CoChampionship in 2013. He has accumulated 90 wins in his time at Ball State, averaging about 22 wins per season prior to this year.

He has coached many players over the years, and said it is a satisfying feeling to see his former high school and club players stay in Delaware County and attend Ball State.

Sophomore defensive specialist Nikki Box played her freshman year at Burris for Steve Shondell in his last season.

“I think he really makes me value and respect the game a lot more than any other coach,” Box said. “He really makes me realize that I should not take it for granted because anybody can go out and play volleyball.”

WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL

TEAM SNAPS LOSING STREAK IN VICTORY

The Ball State women’s volleyball team needed five sets to defeat in-state rival IPFW on the road Wednesday.

The Cardinals defeated the Mastadons 36-34, 21-25, 25-22, 26-28 and 15-12. The win snapped a five-match losing streak for Ball State.

“It was huge for us mentally,” head coach Steve Shondell said.

“We’re going to feel a lot better knowing that we can go out and win a five-game match.”

Offensively, Ball State recorded 64 kills with an attack percentage of .196. Redshirt sophomore Mackenzie Kitchel and redshirt freshman Sabrina Mangapora led the team with 15 kills each. Redshirt junior Kelly Hopkins had 14.

Mangapora has been asked to take on an expanded role on offense as Shondell tries to maximize his personnel.

“Just getting the opportunity to contribute to any success that this team would have, let alone being in the larger role, is just great,” Mangapora said.

Junior setter Jenna Spadafora had 60 assists in the match.

The Cardinals also had six service aces, led by sophomore Nikki Box and Spadafora with two apiece.

IPFW managed to hit just a .230 percentage against the Ball State defense, which had six total blocks in the match.

The Cardinals also had 73 digs as a team, led by redshirt junior libero Alex Fuelling with 24.

Ball State improves to 4-6 on the season. The team will return to action Friday as it travels to play in the VCU Invitational.

SOCCER DN PHOTO JONATHAN MIKSANEK

Redshirt sophomore Tyree Holder walks off the field after the last second loss to Indiana State on Saturday. The loss was in part due to the lack of fumble recoveries and interceptions; players like Holder will become more critical in getting these important plays.

TURNOVERS: Coaching staff counts on new personnel | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 So far, the only turnover was a bad handoff against Iowa, hardly one forced from the pressure of Ball State’s defense. The fumble was picked up by Blake Dueitt and returned for a touchdown, nearly fueling an upset.

With turnovers coming few and far between, Kelly isn’t picky about where the big plays come from.

“We need anybody who is in position to make a play to start making them,” Kelly said. “We’re 11 as one, whoever is in that particular gap during a run, in a zone or man-to-man against the pass, each and every guy has

to start making plays when the situation comes.”

Ball State saw changes to its defensive personnel since its run to the GoDaddy bowl last season. Kelly replaced former defensive coordinator Jay Bateman when he left for Army, while top corner Jeffery Garrett graduated.

Garrett finished the 201314 season with a team-high five interceptions, a forced fumble and two fumble recoveries. Also missing from last’s year defense is defensive lineman Nate Ollie who recovered one fumble.

To replace the missing turnovers, younger players such as redshirt sophomore Tyree Holder are being asked to step up. In limited time, he

recorded one interception last year. He said the turnovers will come, the team just needs to focus more.

“Pay attention to more detail, watch more film, study our opponent more and good things will start happening,” Holder said. “It’s all about the eyes, make sure we’re focused and play the game.”

The first step toward forcing interceptions comes from the defensive line. Without pressure, the quarterback can sit comfortably in the pocket, scanning the field, allowing for breakdowns in coverage and making the secondary’s job more difficult.

So far this season, the Cardinals have sacked opposing quarterbacks just three

times, one of them coming from Patterson on a corner blitz, one from defensive end Nick Miles and just one from a defensive tackle, Smith.

Against Iowa, quarterback Jake Rudock had plenty of time to find receivers. The pressure increased against Indiana State, but not enough to throw signal caller Mike Perish off his game.

Kelly understands the importance of pressure and said it’s the first step in wreaking havoc on opposing offenses.

“I haven’t been impressed with our blitzing and we haven’t gotten enough pressure on the quarterback,” Kelly said. “When pressure comes, turnovers are next.”

SOPHOMORE EARNS DEFENSIVE HONOR

Sophomore Leah Mattingly had a big weekend for the Cardinals during the Navy Tournament. Mattingly started both games for Ball State and played all 200 minutes, including both overtime periods in their game against Navy.

In those 200 minutes of play, Mattingly, along with the rest of the defensive unit, allowed only one goal.

“It was something coach made a big point to us during practice, and we really worked hard on improving ourselves and being prepared for the tournament,” Mattingly said.

Mattingly also showed her offensive skills during the tournament, as she scored the decisive goal for Ball State that would lead them to a 1-0 win over Delaware.

“It was cool to be the person to make the goal, but I can’t take all the credit.” Mattingly said. “Lucy [Walton] got the hand ball call for us and it gave me the opportunity needed.”

Mattingly’s efforts over the weekend earned her Mid-American Conference Defensive Player of the Week.

“I am honored to have earned the award, but of course I wasn’t alone and I wish the whole defense could have been named with me, they played amazing as well,” she said.

Head coach Craig Roberts said he agreed with Mattingly winning the award, and said he really liked what he saw from her this weekend and that she continues to show why she is a starter for his team.

Mattingly and the rest of her squad have a short weekend, as they only play one game against Jacksonville State on Saturday.

The team will look to build off of her performance and the rest of the teams’ performances this weekend at 2 p.m. at Briner Sports Complex.

Sustainability fair honors Indiana youth Fifty-one groups to present diverse exhibits, resources ALAN HOVORKA CHIEF REPORTER | afhovorka@bsu.edu

Muncie’s annual sustainability fair will highlight community youth leaders who participate in environmentally-friendly practices.

“Indiana kids are doing amazing stuff, and I’d like to talk about what they are doing,” said Jim Poyser, keynote speaker for this year’s Living Lightly Fair. “The bulk of my stories and pictures will be on Indiana youth and citing projects they have going on and their efforts to reduce their [carbon] footprint.”

Barb Stedman, co-founder of the Living Lightly Fair, said it’s important to reach kids while they are young.

“Our key speaker this year is Jim Poyser and he targets youth because [he said it is] important to get their interest before losing it when they reach that age of thinking everything is lame,” Stedman said. “They are a key demographic for determining our future, and we have to engage them.”

Poyser, the executive director of Earth Charter Indiana, who works with youth at his organization, will discuss the practices youth around Indiana are taking part in at 10:30 a.m. in the Indiana Room at Minnetrista.

turbines,” he said. “That’s the most actions I’ve seen at one school.”

The fair will also feature familiar exhibits and activities, such as the river of fish.

The activity gives visitors the chance to create a clay fish and add it to the grassy knoll display in the parking lot.

Stedman described the goal of the fair, dating back to 2003, as a way to educate East Central Indiana residents on ways to live green and save money and resources.

Fifty-one green businesses and organizations from across Indiana plan to attend and host booths. A list of vendors and organizations can be found on the Living Lightly Fair’s website.

Elizabeth Rowray, consultant for Ava Anderson Non Toxic, will also speak at the event. She focuses on what families can do about changing conceptions about food.

Rowray is a fair veteran who spoke at the first fair seven years ago.

“This year I took a good hard look, as well as the past three years actually, at my family’s food intake,” Rowray said. “So I’ve really changed our value system on what we eat, and that’s what I want to help other people do.”

“I think every year we have done a nice mix of different topics and trying to make sure speakers appeal to a lot different people,” Stedman said. “Not everyone is going to be interested in putting a solar power system into their home, but they might be interested in native planting or beekeeping.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Republican-controlled House voted grudgingly to give the administration authority to train and arm Syrian rebels on Wednesday as President Barack Obama emphasized anew that American forces “do not and will not have a combat mission” in the struggle against Islamic State militants in either Iraq or Syria.

The 273-156 vote crossed party lines to an unusual degree in Congress marked by near-ceaseless partisanship. Top Republican and Democratic leaders backed Obama’s plan seven weeks before November elections, while dozens of rank-andfile lawmakers in both parties opposed it.

The provision was added to spending legislation that will ensure the federal government operates normally after Sept. 30, the end of the budget year.

Final approval is expected in the Senate as early as Thursday.

Across the political aisle from the president and Pelosi, Republican Speaker John Boehner and House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy swung behind the plan.

Republican lawmakers took solace in the shortterm nature of the legislation. It grants Obama authority only until Dec. 11, giving Congress plenty of time to return to the issue in a post-election session set to begin in midNovember.

Instead, the Senate is likely to vote only once on the legislation that combines approval for arming and training rebels with the no-shutdown federal spending provisions.

Officials put a $500 million price tag on Obama’s request to train and equip

rebels. The cost generated virtually no discussion among lawmakers, who focused instead on the possible consequences of a new military mission not long after America ended participation in wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Testifying before a Senate Committee, Secretary of State John Kerry said the forces seeking to create an Islamic state “must be defeated. Period. End of story.”

Dempsey’s day-old remarks had staying power.

U.S. troops “will support Iraqi forces on the ground as they fight for their own country against these terrorists,” Obama told officers in Florida at U.S. Central Command, which oversees American military efforts in the Middle East. He added, “As your commander-inchief, I will not commit you and the rest of our armed forces to fighting another ground war in Iraq.”

Kuhn spoke about how he got started in journalism and answered questions from the audience.

From cave drawings to the printing press to sitting around the television waiting for the news, media is always changing. Now the media has developed more social components.

On Wednesday night at Pruis Hall, Eric Kuhn, a social media guru, spoke to a crowd of students and faculty about social media’s impact on the world, his journey, the history of media and social media today.

“Social media tells you what you need to know that you don’t know or what you need to know,” Kuhn said.

He started with his experiences, beginning his journalism path when he was a senior in high school. Kuhn was on a local public reality show working on the 2004 primary elections and said this was around the time he “was bitten by the journalism bug.”

Kuhn explained how technology is advancing and how media is now everywhere. He spoke about how social media includes things people would not be able to look up. It is information the user knows before the media knows.

“He was a very energetic speaker,” Lexi Gurley, a freshman chemistry major, said. “He gave good advice and gave different insight on social media.”

Team to honor seniors Six players will be recognized before MAC play begins |

Junior goalie Shelby Henley blocks the Indiana University shot during the game Wednesday at the Ball State turf field. Ball State lost 0-2.

In the final weekend before Mid-American Conference competition begins, the Ball State soccer team will play its Senior Day game.

The Cardinals will honor six senior players: Maggie Cox, Victoria Jacobs, Lindsay Kempf, Jasmine Moses, Nicole Pembleton and Cailey Starck.

“It’s a very weird feeling,” Starck said. “You play with these people for four years and to know it’s all coming to end,

it’s sudden.”

The seniors come from different backgrounds and different places, some from places as close as Indianapolis, others as far as California or Ontario.

They all came together here to play the sport that they love.

“I’ve been playing soccer since I was a kid, as have the others,” Starck said. “For the majority of us, this is the last year we play soccer competitively like this.”

Though it is the end of a long journey for these seniors, it is still the very beginning of that same journey for the youth teams joining Ball State and Jacksonville State on the field Saturday as part of Youth Soccer Month. Youth teams will run onto the field with both

teams at the start of the game, and the teams will play in a scrimmage during halftime.

“It’s great to share our sport with the youth of today and I’m glad they get to share the field with us, it’s a fun opportunity for both us and youth soccer,” head coach Craig Roberts said.

Through all the festivities of the day, there is still a soccer game to be played and Ball

State will come out focused and ready for Jacksonville State.

“The seniors have been firing on all cylinders this week and are looking to come out with a lot of extra energy from the get-go,” Roberts said. “They know what Senior Day is about and they plan to win.”

The game starts at 2 p.m.

Saturday at the Briner Sports Complex.

CARDINALS STRUGGLE OFFENSIVELY IN HOME-OPENING LOSS AGAINST HOOSIERS The Ball State field hockey team did not attempt a single goal as they fell victim to the Indiana Hoosiers 2-0 in their home opener on Sept. 17.

Overall, Indiana controlled the game from start to finish. Anytime Ball State tried to drive down the field, they were stopped by a relentless Indiana defense.

At the end of the first half of play, Ball State had no goals, but didn’t allow any goals due to the effort of junior goalkeeper Shelby Henley. Henley finished the game with eight saves and only two goals allowed against despite 24 shots coming her way.

The second half was a different story, as Indiana’s Audra Heilman scored her ninth goal of the season in the 36th minute. In the 40th minute, Indiana’s Sydney Supica capitalized off of the penalty stroke for her third goal of the season.

Ball State will look to break its three-game losing streak as it plays No. 13 ranked Northwestern on Sept. 21 in Evanston, Ill. – STAFF REPORTS

Group raises beds, awareness Campus feminist group demonstrates, protests college rape |

LAURA ARWOOD STAFF REPORTER llarwood@bsu.edu

With their campus mattresses on their backs, a group of students walked across the Scramble Light in support of a nationwide protest against rape.

Ball State Feminists for Action Group rallied for “Carry That Weight” Wednesday at the Scramble Light.

Carry That Weight began when Emma Sulkowicz, a Columbia University senior, began carrying her mattress around campus after she said she was raped in her dorm by a fellow student. Sulkowitz said she will continue to carry the mattress until the alleged rapist is expelled or leaves Columbia University.

The crime became a national talking-point when she posted a video explaining her proj-

ect to YouTube. The video had 1,681,692 views as of printing.

Feminists for Action Group carried two twin-sized mattresses around the Scramble Light for three hours and handed out pamphlets. During every scramble, they carried mattresses over their heads across the walkway.

“The most important thing is that we support [Sulkowicz],” said Ari Hartloff, a sophomore psychology major. “We’re just trying to raise awareness. Rape is a serious thing, no one should stand alone on this issue.”

One in four women have been sexually assaulted or have experienced an attempt of sexual assault in their lifetime, according to the FBI uniform crime statistics. Five percent of all women enrolled in universities in the United States have experienced rape or attempted rape, according to the statistics.

“We [Feminists for Action] feel really strongly that campus rape is a problem,” said Alex Kincaid, a sophomore magazine journalism major.

Sulkowicz is a Columbia University student who was allegedly raped in her dorm room. As a part of her senior thesis, Sulkowicz is carrying around a mattress to represent the weight that she’s carried since her alleged attack. Ball State students have taken to action in light of her project, protesting on campus on Wednesday.
