Redshirt junior Alex Fuelling has switched from her outside hitter position to libero this season. Fuelling has had an easy transition from an offensive to defensive role.

Changes to lineup brings momentum

NEON ART DISPLAY NOW OPEN

Redshirt junior Alex Fuelling was a First Team All-Mid American Conference outside hitter last season.

Coming from the back row to the net, the 5-foot-11 Fuelling used her offensive instincts to lead the Cardinals in kills with 350, while also boasting the fourth best kills-per-set average, 3.65, in the MAC. This season, instead of rising up for kills, Fuelling has made the back row her permanent home.

“The transition [to libero] hasn’t been too difficult,” Fuelling said. “Those years when I was hanging outside I was playing back row, it’s just a little different now, rather than getting the kill I’m preventing someone from getting the kill.”

After a slow start to begin the season as an outside hitter, head coach Steve Shondell chose to make the position change.

This policy gives qualified undocumented youth temporary relief from deportation and permission to work. Since the program first launched, more than 681,000 applications have been accepted for processing. This year is the first renewal year for those who applied in 2012 and continue to meet the requirements. According to the Migration Policy Institute, Mexico accounted for 65 percent of eligible DACA youth, followed by El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras.

Painting at The Cup sparks controversy Professor to use artwork to discuss racism in classroom

|

CHRISTOPHER STEPHENS CRIME REPORTER castephens@bsu.edu

A painting hanging in The Cup depicting a pigeon with the word “n---a” printed beneath it has drawn criticism and led one professor to invite the artist to speak about race in the classroom.

Nathan Friday, 22, defended what he called his right of free expression Tuesday after a man said his artwork was offensive to the black community. Jennifer Erickson, an assistant professor who teaches a class on race and ethnicity, said she plans to show the artwork in her class to talk about contemporary racism.

Friday’s artwork has been hanging in the Village coffee shop since early September without formal complaint, but on Monday a man walking down University Avenue saw Friday’s piece from the street and threatened to tear it down if it wasn’t removed, Friday said.

Erickson has office hours each Tuesday at The Cup and said the painting has made her reconsider having office hours at the shop because she doesn’t want students to

Nathan Friday discusses his artwork in The Cup. One of Friday’s paintings depicted a pigeon with the n-word beneath it, causing controversy when a person was offended by the piece.

needlessly feel uncomfortable.

However, she said, there is a lot to learn from the painting and the reaction, or general lack thereof for nearly a month, from those that have seen the painting.

She said the painting is a good example that the n-word has several different meanings within certain contexts.

The word can be used within a group of friends without any racist undertone, but when it is used in other contexts, like in Friday’s painting, it can cause uneasiness.

“I am guessing people noticed [the word] and just

A painting by Nathan Friday created controversy Monday. Friday defended his artwork Tuesday, saying it was meant to cause discussion about race.

moved on with their day because I do think the word is in a lot of different places and it doesn’t really raise awareness until it is used out of context,” she said.

Erickson said she plans to invite Friday to her class in a couple weeks when she discusses racial language to

discuss the painting and contemporary ideas of racism.

Cup owner Martin George told the unnamed man Monday that he could contact Friday with his complaints because it wasn’t his place to censor artwork, and he only provides a place for local artists to show their work to the public.

George offered Friday the chance to defend his work today and welcomed members of the community to hear Friday’s perspective.

“I feel it would be inappropriate to just yank down his work,” George said. “I always encourage artists to have their chance [to explain their work]

and it’s time for [Friday].”

The man who complained had been in the business in the morning, George said, but he left before Friday was expected to appear. He did not return while Friday was in the business.

Friday said he welcomed conversation about race because, after all, that is what he was trying to do all along with his art, but threatening to tear down the work wasn’t the way to go about it.

“If you feel negatively about that, be an adult, just don’t look at it,” he said.

Friday said the painting was meant to draw comparisons between what people think about pigeons and what the n-word means in a contemporary urban setting. Pigeons are seen as less than a whole, Friday said, much like what some people may see when they think “n---a.”

“My message with this was to start a dialogue, that’s why we are here,” he said. “You see this word and you may be immediately offended by it.”

For Friday the controversy just goes to strengthen his reason for creating the work of art in the first place.

“It’s really marvelous, obviously, because any artist wants their art to be seen and talked about,” he said. ”I want to take the negative feeling and push it to a positive discussion.”

U.S., Arab partner launch airstrikes VOTING: Midterm elections Allies attack dozen militant targets in Syria, Islamic State

AIRSTRIKE CAMPAIGN BEGINS The United States and Arab allies bombed Syria for the first time on Tuesday, killing dozens of Islamic State fighters. Separately, U.S. forces acting alone launched strikes in another area of Syria against an al-Qaida-linked group, the Nusra Front.

| THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Monday night, in three waves of attacks launched over four hours, the U.S. and its Arab partners made more than 200 airstrikes against roughly a dozen militant targets in Syria, including Islamic State headquarters, training camps and barracks as well as targets of the rival Nusra Front, al-Qaida’s branch within Syria.

MOTIVATION

The Obama administration said the strikes against the Khorasan group were intended to stop a possible terror attack.

Administration officials said Tuesday they have been watching the Khorasan Group, an al-Qaida cell in Syria, for years.

President Barack Obama had resisted taking military action in Syria to avoid helping President Bashar al-Assad, a leader the U.S. would like to see gone.

That changed, officials said, because intelligence showed that the Khorasan Group was in the final stages of plotting attacks against the U.S. and Europe, most likely an attempt to blow up an airplane in flight.

Among the targets hit was a government building used by the militants as a headquarters in their de facto capital, the Syrian city of Raqqa.

— U.S. strikes also hit al-Qaida’s branch in Syria, targeting the Khorasan Group said to be plotting to attack the U.S. or Europe. Lt. Gen. William Mayville said the group was nearing the “execution phase” but that it

was too early to tell if the strikes disrupted the plot.

— Activists in Syria report that some of the targets hit in the strike were empty, because militants left them to hide among the civilian population. Casualties remain unconfirmed, but Syrian activists report casualties among Islamic State fighters.

— Syrian President al-Assad said he supports any interna-

tional campaign against terrorism, giving an indication of acquiescence to the strikes. In past weeks, Syrian officials have said any attacks on the militants should be coordinated with alAssad’s government, something Washington refused.

— Syria’s allies, Iran and Russia, condemn the strikes.

Russia said the “unilateral” strikes will destabilize the region. Iran said strikes without the Syrian government’s permission are “unacceptable.”

WHAT’S NEXT

The FBI and Homeland Security Department issued a security bulletin Tuesday and said there was no indication of advanced al-Qaida or Islamic State group terror plotting inside the U.S., but the airstrikes in Syria may have temporarily disrupted attack planning against U.S. or Western targets.

Because of intelligence about the collaboration among the Khorasan Group, al-Qaida’s Yemeni bomb-makers and Western extremists, U.S. officials said, the Transportation Security Administration in July decided to ban uncharged mobile phones and laptops from flights to the U.S. that originated in Europe and the Middle East.

U.S. Congress passed legislation late last week authorizing the military to arm and train moderate Syrian rebels. Obama signed the bill into law Friday, providing $500 million for the U.S. to train about 5,000 rebels over the next year.

POLICE: Panel focuses on repairing negative image of officers after Ferguson conflict | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Duckham took over as police chief when former chief Gene Burton left this summer.

Fostering community relationships is something Duckham has been passionate about for many years. He had previously created a community outreach force in New York when he worked as an officer.

Duckham sat on the Center for Peace and Conflict Studies’ yearly panel Tuesday as part of his drive to have more interaction with students. The event focused on changing views about police in response to the death of Michael Brown and subsequent protests in Ferguson, Mo. “The time to build relationships is before the crisis,” he said at Tuesday’s panel.

The panel also included Yvonne Thompson, director of the Muncie Human Rights Office, and Keith Overall, a member of the Ethnic Theatre Alliance from Ferguson.

The panel mostly focused on ways to repair the negative image some people of color have of police departments.

“There is a lack of respect on both sides,” Thompson said

about police and the community they serve.

Duckham echoed Thompson’s thoughts, saying police should understand that those who are being stopped by police aren’t going to be happy about it, and they should respect their rights.

However, those who come in contact with police need to remember that they are people too, not just a uniform trying to ruin their day, he added.

A lack of diversity on police forces also adds to the problem, Thompson said. “[Police forces must] make the effort to be more diverse because you come across as the group in power,” Thompson said, which could lead underrepresented minorities to feel oppressed by police forces that don’t reflect their community.

UPD is taking efforts to be better at recruiting a diverse community, Duckham said.

Duckham announced a plan during the panel to get police out of their cars and walk around campus.

“It’s the whole kind of concept of ‘park, walk and talk,’” he said.

“It’s to get people out talking to officers in a relaxed atmosphere.”

As part of the program students

can have lunch with University Police officers and get to know them outside the uniform.

But the perception Duckham is looking to change is fairly strong, he said, joking that when an officer walks through a campus building everyone turns to look because they expect someone to get in trouble.

“How do I change that perception that when you see a police officer walking in the residence hall, that it’s not automatically negative?” Duckham asked.

He isn’t unwilling to try, though. On Thursday a UPD officer will walk through Woodworth Complex with the residence hall director asking students trivia questions and rewarding candy for correct answers, Duckham said.

The police force can only do so much, Thompson said, and it’s up to the community to elect officials and protect their rights from lawmakers by attending city council meetings and voting.

“Everyone here can do something to make a positive change,” Thompson said.

“Everybody has a voice, your voice may not be that loud but someone needs to hear it.”

Ball State’s soccer team hosted its Senior Day celebration Saturday, during a match against Jacksonville State.

The seniors, along with their parents, walked onto the field and had their names announced to the crowd. Each senior received a bouquet of flowers and had her picture taken with her family and coaches.

“That moment felt great, and I really liked having it with my other seniors and my family,” senior Jasmine Moses said. “Anytime we can include our families in something like this is special.”

Though no senior recorded a goal in Ball State’s 3-1 victory, Moses did register an as-

sist, her first on the season.

“We all went out there prepared and attacked fast,” Moses said. “We all wanted to have that special moment on our Senior Day.” A celebration like Senior Day is an event that runs the risk of draining a team’s energy, but head coach Craig Roberts made sure it wouldn’t become a distraction.

“I talked to all the girls about not letting [Senior Day] get in the way of their performance early in the week,” Roberts said. “They all made sure to block it out and focus come game time.”

FUELLING: Position change leads to improved play | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

ALEX FUELLING

“It seemed like it was a really good move for us to allow her to really focus on her defense and ball control game, rather than continuing to struggle as an attacker and blocker,” Shondell said.

Fuelling started at the libero position for the first time in her career on Sept. 12 at the HotelRED Invitational, and started the following six matches in that position.

The lack of experience at libero is something the Decatur, Ind., native laughs over, as her play has been nothing but beneficial to a team that was looking for answers.

Shondell said the transition has been easy for Fuelling, because of her established defensive ability, and her experience in the back row.

“Basically instead of playing that position three times, she’s playing it six times,” he said.

In seven matches since the move, Fuelling has recorded 139 digs, an average of almost 20 per match. She has 205 digs over the course of the season, averaging 3.94 per set.

Fuelling has also been an impact server for Ball State, leading the Cardinals with 14 service aces.

The former transfer said the

biggest change has been her overall mindset, as she focuses on defense and stopping the opposing team’s attack.

“I think sometimes I like to overread,” Fuelling said. “Staying disciplined means not trying to do too much, staying deep on the ball, staying low, and just making the plays that I know I can make.”

Last week, Fuelling helped lead Ball State to a 3-1 record, while also being named the MAC West Division Defensive Player of the Week.

She posted match-high totals in digs in all four contests, earning a career-high 24 against IPFW. “It’s not letting that person score,” she said. “For me that’s competition that I have to come in here with, knowing I’ve got to prevent that person, from letting their ball touch the ground.”

Fuelling will continue to play libero when Ball State begins conference play on Friday against Western Michigan.

Muggle ‘magic’ Ball State students participate in fantasy-world sport KATHRYN HAMPSHIRE STAFF REPORTER

Bringing a mythical game from the pages of a popular book series to the field, the Ball State Quidditch team starts off the season by training new recruits.

Quidditch is a sport invented by author J.K. Rowling as part of her best-selling “Harry Potter” series.

In the novels, the sport is renowned throughout the magical world as the go-to activity for witches and wizards.

Trevor Campbell, a junior art education major and co-head coach, said Quidditch was his

way to stay active in college with opportunities to travel and meet people from all over the country.

In the world of “Harry Potter,” Quidditch is a sport played entirely on magical flying broomsticks.

But Ball State’s team doesn’t zoom around in the air.

“We don’t fly — that’s the number one question we get asked,” said Jessica Banaszak, a senior theater and journalism major.

HOW IT WORKS:

The game utilizes three different types of balls: two bludgers, which chase players around at random, trying to knock them off their brooms; one quaffle, which certain players use to score points; and the golden snitch, which, when caught, signals the end of the game and additional points to the team which caught it.

Each team has seven players: three chasers, a keeper, two beaters and a seeker.

Chasers attempt to throw the quaffle into one of the three round goal posts on the opposite team’s side of the field.

Each team’s keeper protects the goal hoops by blocking the other team’s chasers from getting the quaffle in.

Beaters protect their teammates from the bludgers by using wooden bats to hit them toward the other team.

The seeker’s job is to catch the golden snitch.

In the muggle world of Ball State, Quidditch is very similar to how it is played in the fictional world, with the major difference being that it’s played on the ground instead of in the air. Players use brooms modeled after those in the movie, but their feet stay firmly planted on the field, and it is often compared to a cross between rugby and dodgeball.

Each team still has all seven players with the four different positions. They use dodgeballs in place of bludgers and a volleyball for a quaffle.

Artists, director discuss knowledge of ‘rich’ art tradition

DEJA STUDDARD STAFF REPORTER | dnstuddard@bsu.edu

Four internationally known artists’ pieces are incorporated in a new display in the Art and Journalism Building.

The School of Art and the College of Fine Arts has opened “Negotiating Distance: a Neon Invitational,” a gallery Wednesday night including neon art from artists Fred Tschida, Alicia Eggert, Hiromi Takizawa and Sarah Blood.

“We are doing this to highlight ... what we do in the school of art,” said Thomas J. Riesing, director of the school of art.

Last year’s main gallery was the show of metals, this year’s is the show of neon and next year there will be a show of animation, Riesing said. All of the show topics are programs offered at Ball State.

“Neon has a rich tradition,” said Aric Snee, Glick Center for Glass facilities manager.

“What we’re interested in doing is using that history but updating it and using it for contemporary sculpture.”

Artist Alicia Eggert has two pieces in the gallery, including “Everything You are Looking

For” and “You are on an Island.”

“Neon is a dying art,” Eggert said. “Using it for artwork is preserving the craft that has been around for over 100 years.”

All of the work was originally made for outdoors, and it is the first time that these pieces will be collected together in one building for viewing.

The show will be open until Oct. 18.

“It’s such a rare thing that you have an opportunity to put together a media specific show and then have the medium be so rare as neon,” Snee said.

signing up for audition slots in the Alumni Programs office.

Signups went quickly. Before 4 p.m. on the end date Thursday, the slots were all filled. A total of 79 acts will audition.

Only 20 acts will be chosen for the actual show.

The decision is based on scores from each act’s audition.

Sam Chenoweth, Talent Search chair for the 2014 Homecoming Steering Committee, said the auditions will not be shown to the public.

They are set up as closed auditions, so the only people who will see them are Chenoweth, the judges and the Homecoming advisers.

Auditions are separated

into five categories, and five semi-finalists will be selected to compete in each category.

Each audition is two and half minutes to four minutes long, and categories include dance, individual vocal, musical ensemble, freestyle and instrumental.

Each category winner will receive a $500 scholarship. The overall winner will receive an additional $500 scholarship.

“My advice for anyone auditioning would just be to be themselves,” Chenoweth said. “As with any audition, the judges want to see the real you and what you can bring to the show.”
