Lee said the lack of offensive production early in the second half did not change how the defense approached the game. “With us, the focus isn’t really what’s going on when we’re not out there,” he said. “When we’re out there, we go out and do our job.”

SGA IDENTIFIES SOURCE OF BUDGET GAP Organization will use Office of Student Life co-sponsorship funds RACHEL PODNAR CHIEF REPORTER | rmpodnar@bsu.edu
Student Government Association will use $20,000 from the Office of Student Life for co-sponsorships, which allowed them to budget for more money than they received from the university. These funds are separate from their $91,000 budget.
MUNCIE, INDIANA
The account is managed by Jennifer Jones-Hall, director of student life. She said there had been some confusion about the $20,000 because the executive board is still learning how their budget works. “They have it to spend, but it is not in their budget,” Jones-Hall said. “That $20,000 is not in their account, it is in my account — it physically will never be in their account.” Kevin Mullaney, SGA treasurer, said the organization gets most of their money from the university, and Campus Activities Fund Board resources are extra to be used only for co-sponsorship.

CAMPUS ACTIVITIES FUND BOARD • Student Government Association has a $20,000 gap in the budget that will be filled by money in a fund overseen by the director of student life. • That money from the Campus Activities Fund Board can be used only to help sponsor other student organization
events or retreats. • Every student taking more than seven credit hours is charged $1.69 each year to add to the CAFB. • SGA does not have access to the funds until they spend the $13,000 allotted in their co-sponsorship fund.
“[CAFB] is a different account so it is not officially under the SGA budget, even though we use it,” Mullaney said. “That is why it appears that we are $20,000 over budget.” Jones-Hall has worked with the Office of Student Life for three
years, but said before she came to Ball State, CAFB was a standing board that gave out money to student organizations for activities and event planning.

MATT McKINNEY SPORTS EDITOR @Matt_D_McKinney
Heading into the fourth quarter, Ball State had a 7-point lead on Toledo, the 2012 Mid-American Conference West’s second runner-up. Saturday afternoon’s game ended with the same point lead, as Ball State beat Toledo 31-24. However, the difference between the beginning of the fourth and the end of the fourth wasn’t the margin of victory — it was the total score. Both teams combined for 28 points in the game’s final 15 minutes after a combined zero points in the third quarter. “It just seemed like [throughout the game], our receivers did a really nice job of getting to the sticks, knowing when they’re at the sticks and going down,” head coach Pete Lembo said. After making three catches, senior wide receiver Jamill Smith fumbled early in the second quarter, which lead to a Toledo offensive possession. After that fumble, any time Smith would touch the football, he would go down voluntary to avoid contact and the potential for a second fumble. On a kickoff return in the fourth quarter, Smith broke free for 40 yards then found himself surrounded by tacklers. He slid down like a baseball player stealing third. Junior running back Jahwan Edwards said he enjoyed his second consecutive threetouchdown game. “I’m just happy to be playing,” Edwards said. With his three scores, Edwards moved into sole position of second place of Ball State’s all-time leading touchdowns rushing record. Edwards has 32 now, just two shy of Marcus Merriweather’s record 34 touchdowns rushing. Senior quarterback Keith Wenning didn’t hit the deep passes with the same consistency and touch he displayed a week ago at Eastern Michigan
Though Lembo said the Toledo offense “leaned on” Ball State in the second half, the defense was able to prevent scoring drives when it needed to. Much like Lee, it rose to the occasion. “[There was] no panic, nobody losing control through adversity,” Lembo said. “There’s going to be adversity in games like this, it just comes with the territory.” Coaches and players said

Ball State came out firing in the last of five consecutive road matches to beat Akron, 2-0. Just five minutes in, Ball State earned a corner kick. The Cardinals have worked on improving set pieces for the past few weeks. “Our restarts are looking much better, I think we are a very good team in the air,” head coach Craig Roberts said. “We have a few different options, which makes us hard to scout and more effective.” Junior Cailey Starck made her way over to the corner just as she had rehearsed countless times, set up the ball and put her arm up to alert her teammates of her searching ball. Starck’s cross found the head of junior defender Victoria Jacobs, who tucked it away for an early lead, with 5:23 on the clock. Nineteen minutes later, sophomore midfielder Madi-

SATURDAY’S STATS
University, but he finished 27of-38 for 335 yards. In the first half especially, Wenning found junior wide receiver Willie Snead on sideline routes time and time again. The quarterback also scored a touchdown rushing in the fourth quarter as the Toledo defense bit on a fake handoff to sophomore running back Horactio Banks. He kept the ball and ran to the left side of the line, while the defense followed Banks left. Wenning walked into the end zone untouched. After the game, Wenning was nothing but complimentary of the opposing defense he had just beaten. “They’re one of the most athletic defenses in the MAC,” Wenning said. The defense proved its athleticism early in the fourth quarter as a pass meant for senior tight end Zane Fakes was tipped up in the air. To-
ledo’s Ross Madison tracked it in the air and came down with the ball. On the game-winning drive, Wenning drove the Cardinals 71 yards down the field in eight plays, taking 3:13 off the clock. Edwards scored off a 4-yard touchdown with 3:01 left in the contest. In addition to the four total touchdowns rushing scored during the game, Ball State rushed for 128 yards. “We earned those rushing yards today,” Lembo said. “You have to fight for those yards. I’m proud of how physical we were up front with the o-line, the tight ends and the way Jahwan and Horactio ran the ball.” Wenning said the rushing attack helped open up some of his passes. “[Edwards] and Horactio got us a running game and allowed us to pass the ball,” Wenning said.
On a day where both Toledo and Ball State ran 75 offensive plays each, Ball State came ahead in yards-per-play, 6.2 to 5.5. “It was one of those days where you felt like everybody pulled their weight,” Lembo said. “Adversity, for sure. Mistakes, for sure. But I could point to all three units and say they did something productive to pull their weight.”
the matchup with Toledo was just another game, but the win gave Ball State a head-to-head win over another contender in the league’s west division. The win moved Ball State to 4-1 overall and 2-0 in MidAmerican Conference play — the team’s best start since 2008. It’s the fourth time since 1978 that Ball State has started 4-1 or better. Lembo said having players stepping up to fill in for injured teammates was a big part of the win over Toledo.
Freshman safety Dae’Shaun Hurley, who had played scarcely this season, filled in for the injured Martez Hester. He went on to record a career-high nine tackles in the game. Hurley said practicing on basics during the week helped the shorthanded defense play well in the game. “Coaches always tell us, ‘when things don’t go right out there, rely on fundamentals, and we’ll be fine,’” Hurley said. The next-man-up mentality
allowed the defense to play as a unit despite injures to key players. Lee fought through his injury, so there was no need for another player to fill in, but Lembo said he was setting an example for his younger teammates. “We don’t have many seniors, we don’t have many juniors even,” Lembo said. “But when you have a senior like that, battling through and saying, ‘I’m going to go,’ it sets a great example for the younger guys.”

En route to the conferencebest 7-2-1 (2-0) record, one of Ball State’s problems has been impotency around the net, but Wendlandt’s finish could be a sign of improvement. “[Wendlandt’s goal] was a great goal,” Roberts said. “She was able to stay calm, dribble around the keeper and just tap it in. It’s the kind of finish that we are looking for.” Roberts said Ball State was able to find its successes offensively by throwing a variety of attacks at Akron. The Cardinals probed down the flanks and worked possession up through the heart of the field. Though the Cardinals’ offensive opportunities diminished slightly in the second half, the MAC’s top-scoring defense diminished any hopes the Zips had at a comeback, allowing only three shots on goal. “They all knew their responsibilities, executed them and they dominated a phenomenal group of forwards [for Akron],” Roberts said.

Junior defender Victoria Jacobs tries to steal the ball from her opponent during the game against Tennessee Tech on Sept. 8. Ball State will play against Kent State on Friday.
Freshman goalkeeper Brooke Dennis came up with a save that Roberts said not many would have been able to reach against Akron’s lone shot on goal of the second half to preserve the twogoal lead. Ball State has now posted shutouts in more than half of its matches, giving them a conference-leading six on the season. Senior goalkeeper Layne Schramm and Dennis have now each contributed three clean sheets each in their alternating starts, trig-
gering Roberts to call this the best goalkeeping he has seen in his four years at Ball State. Depending on the results of matches around the country, the Cardinals blanking both opponents this weekend could propel Ball State into nationally elite defensive rankings. “Akron is a completely different team than they were from a year ago,” Roberts said. “They are going to beat some good teams this year, and we’re happy we were able to get the better of them.”

University art museum opens world-focused exhibitions Ribbon cutting ceremony only part of opening day festivities RAYMOND GARCIA STAFF REPORTER | ragarcia@bsu.edu Ball State’s art museum opened four exhibits to diversify its collection. On Sunday afternoon, the David Owsley Museum of Art hosted a free community day, including a ribbon cutting ceremony and cultural performances to celebrate its expansions. According to a press release, the expansion increased gallery space by 50 percent to add four new galleries to the museum. Some of the new art includes objects from India, China and Japan. “The collection definitely diversifies the museum more and adds to the collection,” Josh Vance, a history graduate student, said. “The community will now have a chance to see art from different types of cultures.” The museum featured primarily European art before the expansion. “The new exhibits have broadened what the museum can present to the visitor,” Justin Schiess, a museum visitor assistant, said. In the Asian gallery, Garret Uyeno performed Ongaku Japanese music. Mundo Beat showcased Latin American music in the Sculpture Court, and Deborah Asante told African folktales in the African gallery. “The museum means a place of enlightenment [and] education — a place to open your mind and expand yourself,” Vance said. President Jo Ann Gora said during the ceremony that the museum is the oldest and most important of Ball State’s buildings, drawing thousands of children from several schools. “It is a thrilling opportunity having access to culture in Muncie, Ind. — middletown USA,” said Monique Armstrong, executive director at Motivate Our Minds Inc., an organization that provides educational programs for children. The art museum is sometimes the first exposure to art many local children have, Armstrong said. She also expressed her gratitude to Gora and the donors during her speech at the ceremony.

point,” she said. “Once you start doing research, you can step back and look at other approaches.” For the community platform, the group started promoting Muncie events rather than hosting their own events downtown. One of the executive board’s main platform points during the campaign was working on relationships with students and organizations. France said she thinks the situation with the derogatory tweets from Malachi Randolph, SGA former president, gave SGA an opportunity to reach out to other organizations and the student body. In the end,
she said the tweets did not harm the platform point. “It hurt our organization — it put a damper on our reputation and the way a lot of students saw us — but for the first time in my four years of college, students were talking about our organization,” France said. “It became the perfect time for us to seek them out. For once, they wanted to give us their opinion.” If SGA is able to complete their platform points before the end of their term, France said they are considering other options, like adopting a street or a starting a “Fix My Campus” program.

On Tuesday, the SGA executive board went on a lighting and safety tour with David Huff and Kent Kurtz of the University Police Department to check out lighting and test the blue lights.
Promote the development of a blue light smartphone app for students. The executive budget allows $300 for development of the blue light app. The app would allow students to call UPD just by swiping their finger, among other features. Jonathan Huer, director of emerging technology and media development, confirmed a meeting for Oct. 8 with the executive board. Because it will be his first meeting with SGA for the app, Huer said it is too early to determine if it can be created in one school year or if it can be completely funded by $300.

First-year retention has gone from 74.7 percent for the freshman in 2007 to 79.4 percent for the freshman in 2012, according to the state budget request. Pavlik said retention fell for the freshman in 2011 because federal financial aid distribution changed. In order to receive full funding for some scholarships, students have to earn 67 percent of their attempted credits each semester. “Many universities saw a similar one- to three-point decrease, so this is not something unique to Ball State or even the state of Indiana,” Pavlik said. –
STAFF REPORTS
BUDGET: Students pay $1.69 to help fund student life groups | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Then, SGA expanded its duties to include cosponsoring other student organizations, so the bulk of the CAFB funds are dispersed to other student organizations by SGA. “Because it comes from the Office of Student Life, the money is to be used only for organizations that report under the Office of Student Life,” she said. According to the Bursar and Loan Administration, each student taking more than seven credits a semester is charged $1.69 for the 2013-2014 academic year for the CAFB. SGA is the only organization that is guaranteed money from this account, Jones-Hall said, and SGA has received nearly $20,000 for the past three years. This year, Jones-Hall also allotted money to Spectrum, the Black Student Association, the Latino Student Union and the Asian American Student Association for an overnight retreat and for the Greek Leadership Summit in January. Jones-Hall said SGA must use the portion allocated for co-sponsorship before the group has access to the CAFB account. So far, SGA has not spent the allotted $13,000 for co-sponsorship yet.

SHUTDOWN: Closure should not affect student loans GOP will use bill | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
as way to attack Health Care law
Q: Who will be impacted by the government shut down?
A: Clearly, the most likely to be impacted by a government shutdown immediately are those who are being laid off. So nonessential government workers will be affected immediately.
House votes delay of many features, moves to Senate
Q: Will the shutdown impact Ball State students?
A: So, will it stop the processing off some federal Stafford loans? It probably won’t. Most of those have already been processed. Ball State students are very affected by the debate because you all are about to be tax payers, and future tax payers, in particular, are going to be affected by the debate.
| THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — With the government teetering on the brink of partial shutdown, congressional Republicans vowed Sunday to keep using an otherwise routine federal funding bill to try to attack the president’s health care law. Congress was closed for the day after a post-midnight vote in the GOP-run House to delay by a year key parts of the new health care law and repeal a tax on medical devices, in exchange for avoiding a shutdown. The Senate was to convene Monday afternoon, just hours before the shutdown deadline, and Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., had already promised that majority Democrats would kill the House’s latest volley. Since the last government shutdown 17 years ago, temporary funding bills known as continuing resolutions have been noncontroversial, with neither party willing to chance a shutdown to achieve legislative goals it couldn’t otherwise win. But with health insurance exchanges set to open Tuesday, tea-party Republicans are willing to take the risk in their drive to kill the health care law. Action in Washington was limited mainly to the Sunday talk shows and a barrage of press releases as Democrats
Q: How will the economy be affected by the shutdown?
A: It depends on how long it lasts and what results from it. In the past, this has occurred numerous times either in last minute negotiations or government shutdown. There has been no lasting affect on the economy, maybe not even a temporary effect.
Q: Will any money be lost because of the shut down? A: Well no, ... just that tax dollars are not sufficient to pay for all of the things the government is doing. That has been the case for the last six years, so the government has borrowed. Sometime in the next few days or weeks, we will also hit the borrowing limit. That borrowing limit means the federal government has to spend only what it takes in through tax dollars, which is no where near enough to pay for Medicaid and military spending, among other things. And when that happens, we stop paying our bills.
Q: Obama mentioned that failing to raise the debt ceiling would be more devastating than a government

The U.S. Capitol appears under cloudy skies Saturday in Washington, D.C. The House of Representatives passed an emergency spending bill that has been delay until the Senate returns to session today, where they will have the option to pass it otherwise, the government will shutdown.
ÂŤ Ball State students are very affected by
shutdown. Is that true based on what you are saying?
A: Think about it as a credit card bill. Each month, you pay principle and interest on that credit card bill, so right now, 20 cents on every tax dollar of all tax dollars of any type that go to the federal government are spent on servicing the debt. ... Then, the rest goes to all of the other things we have. ... If he elects not to pay the interest on the debt, the costs of borrowing money in the future will rise profoundly. ... This is high states negation, so if we actually hit the debt ceiling and it lasted, and we didn’t pass a new spending bill, that could be really devastating in our ability to borrow.
the debate because you all are about to be tax payers. ... We’re just going to have to reconcile ourselves to a long period of time where there is less spending and more tax dollars.  MICHAEL HICKS, economics professor and director of the Center for Business and Economic Research
Q: Will Americans face this problem in the future?
Don’t forget your friend’s birthday! 6HQG D FODVVL¿HG ELUWKGD\ ZLVK LQ WKH 'DLO\ 1HZV
A: This debate is not going to go away because we are maybe $15 [trillion], $16 [trillion], $17 trillion in debt, which is above the value of everything made in America in a given year. So
the amount of spending the government undertakes each year is more than it’s bringing in, so each year that debt is rising. We’re just going to have to reconcile ourselves to a long period of time where there is less spending and more tax dollars.

and Republicans rehearsed arguments for blaming each other if the government in fact closes its doors at midnight Monday. “You’re going to shut down the government if you can’t prevent millions of Americans from getting affordable care,� Rep. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md, said. “The House has twice now voted to keep the government open. And if we have a shutdown, it will only be because when the Senate comes back, Harry Reid says, ‘I refuse even to talk,’� said Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who led a 21-hour broadside against allowing the temporary funding bill to advance if stripped clean of a tea party-backed provision to derail Obamacare. The effort ultimately failed. The battle started with a House vote to pass the short-term funding bill with a provision that would have eliminated the federal dollars needed to put President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul into place. The Senate voted along party lines to strip that out and lobbed the measure back to the House. The latest House measure, passed early Sunday by a near party-line vote of 231192, sent back to the Senate two key changes: a one-year delay of key provisions of the health insurance law and repeal of a new tax on medical devices that partially funds it, steps that still go too far for The White House and its Democratic allies on Capitol Hill.

Royalty court candidates to strut their stuff at show Fashion show starts weeks of events for Homecoming DANIELLE GRADY STAFF REPORTER | dagrady@bsu.edu After this evening, Ball State will be one step closer to knowing the potential student Homecoming kings and queens. A total of 94 candidates from various campus organizations will kick off Homecoming events at 6:30 p.m. by parading around Pruis Hall’s stage in an assortment of themed costumes, including “The Wizard of Oz” and “Toy Story.” “The Homecoming [Royalty] Fashion Show is our big kickoff,” said DJ Pulce, campus relations chairman for the Homecoming Steering Committee. “It gives all the royalty a chance to walk out, show who they are and have fun, and [it] gives everyone a time to be festive and get into the mood.” The Homecoming theme for this year, “There’s No Place Like Homecoming,” has a deeper meaning for the show than “The Wizard of Oz” implication provides. “There are people out of this country, and I’m from out of state myself,” Pulce, a junior telecommunications major, said. “We wanted it as an idea so people could either choose ‘The Wizard Of Oz’ or show how this is their home.” Other candidates, such as sophomore Brittney Trueblood, decided to go their own route with the costumes. “My partner and I are Jessie and Woody from ‘Toy Story,’” Trueblood said. “We decided on that because it’s a good pair costume.” Candidates who will walk at the show have all been nominated by campus organizations, including residence halls, sororities and fraternities. Trueblood was picked by her hall council to represent Noyer Complex.
Doors behind the audience opened, and mummies thundered down an aisle and up to the stage.

They danced as they performed their music to combine pelvic gyrations To view more with complex photos of the steps and hand event go to bsudaily.com motions to the beat of the songs. Smoke wafted across the stage and multicolored lights swept across the audience to bathe the band in a foggy glow. The audience got a free lesson on dancing the “Fenk Shui,” one of the act’s songs, as the Mummies wildly gyrated onstage. During the song “Pants,” confetti exploded from a pipe held between one mummy’s legs. In the middle of “Petting Zoo,” a mummy dressed in a gorilla suit thrusted his way across stage in order to beat a drum without us-
formed more than 20 songs at Emens, where the band disco-pointed during funk songs and danced salsa to Latin music-inspired tunes. After two hours of jamming with the living, Here Come the Mummies retired to their crypts. “We love you, Muncie,” they shouted after the music swelled, and then the sounds to be heard were clapping and shouting. When the lights went out, they vanished. After the show, Here Come the Mummies were not as vocal as they were on stage, as they greeted the audience to sign autographs, take pictures and give hugs. Trumpet player B.B. Queen grinned, grunted and groaned as he signed tickets and took photos as the audience crowded around the band. “It was awesome,” David Cole, a Ball State student, said. “It was just a lot of fun. I played saxophone in band in high school, so I was really interested in that part of it. It was definitely worth coming.” Offstage, the only noises to be heard from the performers were long moans and grunts as they mingled with the crowd in character.
