arbie and Ken, Olaf and Anna and Princess Tiana and The Frog Prince all made appearances Monday night at the Homecoming royalty reveal.

Couples from each campus organization dressed up in themed costumes before the Top 10 king and queen candidates were announced.

About 5,000 votes were submitted this year for the candidates, nearly double last year’s turnout.

“I think this year we really pushed the social media,” said DJ Pulce, the royalty chair for the Homecoming steering committee. “We really tapped into it and made it a movement.”

Team has high expectations after conference title last year ANTHONY FLETCHER STAFF REPORTER | adfletcher@bsu.edu After defeating Buffalo in the Mid-American Conference championship last year, the Ball State men’s tennis team enters the 2014-15 season with high expectations.

The Cardinals return many players from its 2013 championship roster, but head coach Bill Richards doesn’t yet want his team looking ahead to conference play.

“The fall is very developmental, just trying to get a lot of experience, work on individual weaknesses, and make everyone get better as we move forward,” REMAINING FALL SCHEDULE Richards said.

Coming off of its ITA OHIO VALLEY REGIONALS third tournament Time: TBA of the fall season, Date: Oct. 16-19 Richards wants Place: Nashville, Tenn. to see his play- MAC INDOOR CHAMPIONSHIP ers progress and Time: TBA improve from an Date: Oct. 31-Nov. 2 individual stand- Place: Kalamazoo, Mich. point, so when the MAC tournament begins, they will be ready.

This year’s returning players give the Cardinals experience and talent that will have a chance to repeat last season’s success.

Seniors Patrick Elliott and Ray Leonard are taking on a new role this year, as they bring leadership to Ball State’s team. It is a new transition for the upperclassmen, but they understand it’s a challenge they must accept.

“It’s definitely different. When I came in I had some good senior leaders that I looked up to,” Elliott said.

“They set a good example for me, and I want to do the same for the freshmen this season.”

3. NEW AFGHAN PRESIDENT TO FORM U.S. PACT

WASHINGTON (AP) — The intruder who climbed a fence made it farther inside the White House than the Secret Service has publicly acknowledged, the Washington Post and New York Times newspapers reported Monday.

Citing unnamed sources — three people familiar with the incident and a congressional aide — the newspapers said Omar J. Gonzalez ran past the guard at the front door and into the East Room, which is about halfway across the first floor of the building. Gonzalez was eventually “tackled” by a counter-assault agent, according to the Post, which was first to report the news.

The Secret Service also said that night that the suspect had been unarmed — an assertion that was revealed to be false the next day when officials acknowledged Gonzalez had a knife with him when he was apprehended.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Afghanistan swore in Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai as its second elected president on Monday, embarking on a new era with a national unity government poised to confront a resilient Taliban insurgency by signing an agreement with the United States that would guarantee a continuing American military presence.

As Hamid Karzai left the political stage, the new president was locked into an

uneasy partnership with his defeated rival, Abdullah Abdullah, who became the country’s first chief executive.

The new Afghan government was expected Tuesday to sign a security agreement that provides a legal framework for the United States to keep about 9,800 troops in the country to train, advise and assist Afghan national security forces after the current international combat mission ends Dec. 31.

4.FERGUSON DEMANDS HIGH FEES FOR CITY FILES MCT PHOTO

WASHINGTON (AP) — Officials in Ferguson, Miss., are charging nearly 10 times the cost of some of their own employees’ salaries before they will agree to turn over files under public records laws about the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown.

The move discourages journalists and civil rights groups from investigating the shooting and its aftermath.

In one case, it billed The Associated Press $135 an hour — for nearly a day’s work — merely to retrieve a handful of email accounts since the shooting. That fee compares with an entry-level, hourly salary of $13.90 in the city clerk’s office, and it didn’t include costs to review the emails or release them. The AP has not paid for the search because it has yet to negotiate the cost.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (AP) — An Indiana State University student accused of shooting another student after playing dice for money has been arraigned on an attempted murder charge.

Vigo County Judge Michael Lewis ordered 21-year-old Calvin McCauley of Indianapolis held without bond Monday during a video hearing. Court records did not show McCauley has hired an attorney.

HONG KONG (AP) — Hong Kong’s embattled police defended their use of tear gas but softened their tactics Monday after forceful attempts to quell pro-democracy protests drew tens of thousands more people into the streets in an unprecedented show of civil disobedience.

“The students are protecting the right to vote, for Hong Kong’s future. We are not scared, we are not frightened,

McCauley is charged with shooting 20-year-old Tevin Moore, also of Indianapolis, in the buttocks Saturday.

He was listed in good condition Sunday at Union Hospital.

A probable cause affidavit says Moore told police the shooting was the result of gambling.

McCauley is being held in the Vigo County Jail. His next court appearance is scheduled for October.

we just fight for it,” said Carol Chan, a 55-year-old civil service worker who said she took two days off to join the protests after becoming angered over police use of tear gas Sunday.

Instead of candlelight, a few hundred people staged a brief “mobile light” vigil Monday night, waving their glowing cell phones as the protests stretched into their fourth day. Crowds chanted calls for the city’s unpopular leader.

DON’T RUSH THROUGH GRIEF, HEALING TAKES TIME JORDAN HUFFER BORN IN A BALL JAR JORDAN HUFFER IS A JUNIOR PHOTOJOURNALISM MAJOR AND WRITES ‘BORN IN A BALL JAR’ FOR THE DAILY NEWS HER VIEWS DO NOT NECESSARILY AGREE WITH THOSE OF THE NEWSPAPER OR THE DAILY..

WRITE TO JORDAN AT JAHUFFER@BSU. EDU.

As he lay in the hospital bed, I cried over him. I told him how he was my hero, that I wanted to be just like him. He told me how proud of me he was and how much he loved me. I stayed by his bed as long as I could. Once they had him down the hallway, I called out to him, telling him that I loved him and I’d see him in a few hours. He called back to me, “I love you. I’ll see you soon.”

Less than 24 hours later I held his hand as he was removed from Life Support. It was the end of the life of Ball State photographer John Huffer.

He was my dad, my friend, my mentor and colleague. It’s been almost a year since we lost him, and while moving past his death has been the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do, I’ve managed to do it.

Death is one of those things that are totally unavoidable. In your lifetime you will lose someone very close to you, and it’s not an easy thing to do. Grief is a weird process with no real, set path. It is my hope that you can learn from my experience, so that you’ll be better equipped to deal with it when it happens.

F--K!!

Be it a prolonged illness or a sudden death, this will likely be your first thought. It was mine. No matter how much a person prepares for this kind of thing, it’s a different reality when it happens. All the emotions of what’s going on hit you at once, and you’re sad and you’re angry.

The day that my father died was a mess of emotions and weird stuff and snot, and I just wanted to yell and scream. I would recommend that. In fact, I feel like I didn’t do enough of it.

It’s OK to be a mess.

This one is important. Something horrible has happened, and it’s not going to be easy for a time. You need to let your emotions take you wherever they want to. Blocking it out and not allowing time to grieve will leave even more damage.

I tried to be strong for my mother and sister. I never cried in front of them, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t get messy.

My father and I were known for taking pictures together at sporting events, so those first few sporting events (and sometimes ones even today) were tough for me. I said to myself that if I could make it through the National Anthem without crying, I would be OK. And I was.

Other times, I wasn’t so lucky and I was trying to shoot volleyball while crying.

Not so successful.

The fact of the matter is that some athletes and members of athletic communications have seen me cry more times over all this than my sister has. And that’s OK. It can be weird and uncomfortable to be vulnerable around people, but that’s another thing that you have to welcome.

Mourning is messy and scary. But it’s necessary. So don’t stifle it.

Be patient.

This is true of both yourself and others. It will affect you for quite some time, so you may need to prioritize some things. Put some extracurriculars on hold, focus on your school work, relax, don’t push yourself. I took a semester off from the Daily News just to get myself together and give myself time, and I’m very glad I did.

Also, be aware that people grieve differently. When my father died, my sister reacted differently than I did. She became very emotional about it, and is still very withdrawn with the loss. It is easier to laugh and reflect about our dad now, but I can tell that there is something missing from her normal self.

My mother’s different than either of us.

She still thinks that he’s going to walk

through the door after an extended trip photographing the football team. I know it’s very hard for her, even though she’s not necessarily showing it.

We all had different relationships with our father, and we are all handling tragedy in our own ways. So be patient with the ones left behind. They are hurting and healing just like you are, only in different ways.

Give thanks to those who helped.

I heard it 100 times in the weeks after my dad’s death: “Let us know if you need anything.” I didn’t really need anything from them and I never asked them for anything, but it was still nice to hear. It was nice to hear that people were thinking of me and that they understood that I wasn’t going to be myself for a while.

And there were people who truly helped, people whom I can’t thank enough for all they’ve done for me and my family. A big thanks to University Marketing and Communications, along with those in the President’s Office and Athletics Communications; they were understanding and supportive of me during this time, and I will always be grateful for that. A big thanks also to the university, and to Pam Robbins, Colleen Steffen and Stephen Williams, who all really helped me in the worst of it.

And I can’t thank my family at the Daily News enough for everything they’ve done for me. You guys are all my favorites.

It’s never going to feel “right,” and that’s OK. This summer, while covering the State Fair, I spoke with a woman who lost her father five years ago. She spoke about him with tears in her eyes and still missed him horribly. This is the end point of grief. There’s no going back to normal.

There is only a new normal: where you cry when you see that one commercial with the tiny paper cranes or a fatherdaughter fight scene in your favorite cartoon. It’s never not going to hurt. You just learn to live with the memories, in both joy and sorrow.

I’m always going to love and miss my dad. Every day that goes by, every picture I take, every moment that I wish I could talk to him — they still cause me pain. The pain will always be there, it just hurts less over time. And that’s all I could really hope for.

The NFL doesn’t care what you think of Adrian Peterson or Ray Rice.

It blocks out the outrage, the domestic violence defense groups and the fact that you want it to have a higher moral compass.

But it doesn’t have one.

However, the NFL does care about one thing: its image.

If Peterson or Rice had been runof-the-mill players, somebody forgettable at the bottom of the roster, they would’ve been released as soon as their teams found out what happened.

Then the general manager and coach could stand on a podium and pontificate about how they don’t stand for what the players did.

Remember Cedric Wilson? Of course you don’t. He was a fringe wide receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers from 2005-08. The Steelers cut him the day after he was arrested for allegedly punching his ex-girlfriend.

“We’re extremely disappointed with this incident,” team chairman Dan Rooney said after releasing Wilson.

“The Steelers do not condone violence of any kind, especially against women.”

But I bet you remember James Harrison, the Pittsburgh linebacker who was named the AP Defensive Player of the Year for the 2008 season. Before that season, Harrison was arrested for simple assault and criminal mischief.

He and his girlfriend got into an argument and she locked herself in a

bedroom. Harrison broke into the room and broke her cell phone while she attempted to call 9-1-1.

His girlfriend said he slapped her in the face when he got into the room.

Was Harrison released the next day, as Wilson was?

No. “Each incident must be considered on a case-by-case basis. In the situation with James Harrison, he contacted us immediately after his incident and has taken responsibility for his actions,” Rooney said of not releasing Harrison.

More recently, 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said he has no tolerance for domestic violence.

“If someone physically abuses a woman and/or physically or mentally abuses or hurts a child, then there’s no understanding,” Harbaugh said.

Ray McDonald, 49ers defensive end, was arrested for domestic violence on Aug. 31, and he has played in every game this season.

Harbaugh cited due process for the reason McDonald is still playing.

What’s different about the 49ers compared to the other teams and situations? Nothing. But McDonald is a premier player.

The NFL needs to either treat Alist players like everybody else, or own up to the double standards it currently holds, and stop pretending it has the integrity to hold these players accountable.

Food bank challenges Greek Life Organizer requests orange attire for hunger awareness BLEVINS STAFF REPORTER | TODD tblevins@bsu.edu One Ball State student is challenging Greek organizations to wear orange today for National Hunger Action Month.

Morgan Sparks is a volunteer procurement assistant at the Second Harvest Food Bank.

Orange is the color of hunger awareness and Hunger Action Month, and Sparks decided a good way to raise awareness

around Ball State would be to “turn the campus orange” by having students wear orange.

The Second Harvest Food Bank serves eight local counties, including Delaware County. It is the premier supplier of food to those who are unable to meet daily food requirements.

John Nieman III, the director of food procurement and volunteers at the Second Harvest Food Bank, refers to these people as “food-insecure individuals.” An estimated 74,000 of these individuals are in the eight-county area alone, he said.

“That’s a pretty big number of people who don’t know where food’s going to come from each day,” Nieman said.

Furthermore, 16 percent of food-insecure individuals in the area are children, he said.

“You look at that and you think, ‘I hate for kids to go without food,’” Nieman said.

Nieman said food-insecure children perform more poorly in schools than their counterparts, largely due to the fact that they are unable to focus solely on schoolwork.

The food bank normally hosts a monthly tailgate in each county where individuals can drive up and have volunteers load their cars with food.

For Hunger Action Month, the food bank has hosted several additional tailgates. One was hosted on Sept. 4 in Mun-

cie, and another was hosted on Sept. 12 in Henry County.

Nieman said these additional tailgates collectively served 700 cars, the equivalent of 2,100 families.

Hunger Action Month is particularly important to the Second Harvest Food Bank because it inspires people to volunteer during the nonholiday season.

More individuals volunteer during Thanksgiving and Christmas than any other time of the year, he said.

“Quite honestly, it’s those non-holiday times, the average week, that we worry most about how we are going to get food to those food-insecure

individuals,” Nieman said.

Still, he said there are numerous ways to contribute, including donating food or volunteering at the food bank itself. Volunteering could mean buying lunch for a food-insecure individual or seeing what it is like to live on the poverty-level wage of $5 per week.

“If we can make people aware of [hunger], they can act in ways ... that change it in their community,” he said.

In an effort to get Ball State involved in the change of the community, Sparks is also spreading the Wear Orange message on social media.

Organizations can post

group pictures and selfies on the Second Harvest Food Bank’s Facebook page.

Twitter users can also use #WhyIWearOrange to demonstrate how they are helping raise awareness.

The Wear Orange campaign may represent Ball State’s biggest collective effort to help, but Sparks said there are many other ways to help.

“We’re always up for someone who thinks they have a new idea on how to help out,” Sparks said.

Those interested in volunteering with the Second Harvest Food Bank can visit curehunger.org or the food bank’s Facebook page.

After a new kind of publicity was used for this year, members of the Homecoming court were announced on Monday at Pruis Hall at the Royalty Reveal. Candidates for the court dressed up in themed, matching outfits for the annoucement. The top 20 candidates will be interviewed for Homecoming King and Queen, which will be announced at Air Jam. Top: Terry Miller and Jes Wade strike a pose as Ash and Misty from “Pokemon” at the 2014 Royalty Reveal. Miller and Wade represented Student Voluntary Services.

Middle: Taylor Shuppert and Gabi Bunn pose as Gatsby and Daisy. Both of them were representing Delta Sigma Pi. Bottom: Cierra Payton and Enoch Carlstrom share a moment together after being announced 2014 Homecoming court members.

The candidates were encouraged to post selfies on social media to help them campaign, and the Homecoming Steering Committee also put together “Man Crush Monday” and “Woman Crush Wednesday” events at the scramble light so people could get to know the candidates and encourage students to vote.

Cierra Payton, a junior public communications major, mainly used Instagram and Twitter to encourage people to vote for her, as well as posting to her Snapchat story.

Payton is one of the 10 candidates for Homecoming queen.

“People who I talked to through social media responded to that well,” Payton said. “I was also an orientation leader for two summers so I reached out to all the freshman students I had in the past and I think that made a difference.”

Still, not all of the nominees relied on social media.

Daishawn Smith, a sophomore social work major, passed out cards at the scramble light asking people to vote for him.

He said when he first started campaigning at the scramble light, it was disheartening because he wasn’t being received the way he thought he would.

“This campus is so large and a lot of people don’t know what Homecoming is,” Smith said. “After the first time passing out fli-

ers I got more comfortable. It felt great as I got more into it.”

Smith said he thought he would campaign more than other people because he didn’t feel he was as well-known. He said as one of the Noyer residence hall candidates, he felt like the other organizations were better known than his.

“I think that if I don’t win, it will still have been a great experience to be in the running,” he said.

“I’ve done my best to support not only myself but to try to support others as well.”

The top 10 candidates that were announced at Monday’s royalty reveal will interview in front of a panel of judges, and the interviews, along with the online vote, will determine who the top five candidates will be for king and queen. One of the top five in each group will be king and queen and the rest will be members of the court.

“They’re looking for passionate students that have that cardinal pride and … also they look at what [candidates] have done at Ball State,” said Jack Hesser, general chair of the Homecoming Steering Committee. “It’s designed to be fun and showcase involved people who really give back to Ball State.”

The 2014 Homecoming king, queen and their courts will be named at Air Jam at 9 p.m. on Oct. 9 in Emens Auditorium.

Author says helping gives life purpose EIL speaker series brings first Asian Pultizer winner MILLER KERN STAFF REPORTER | mskern@bsu.edu After traveling the world and observing poverty, author and journalist Sheryl WuDunn said Monday it is important to help find solutions to reoccurring problems.

The first Asian-American Pulitzer Prize winner spoke at Pruis Hall on Monday.

Among other stories, she focused on people being a solution to the problems they see by volunteering.

WuDunn said a nine-yearold, Rachel Beckwood, gave all of her birthday money to Charity Water in order to help build wells in Africa.

Shortly after, Beckwood was in a car accident and was severely injured, and later died.

The account ended up raising $1.2 million.

“Hope is like a path in the

countryside,” WuDunn said, quoting Chinese essayist, Lu Xun. “Originally, there is nothing – but as people are walking all the time in the same spot, a path appears.”

Bri Pierce, a sophomore public communications major, said she liked the hope behind Xun’s quote, and the idea that people need to keep revisiting issues in the world to find a solution.

Volunteering to help promote education and childhood development are two ways students can help reduce poverty, said.

WuDunn promoted utero development of a child, and said most of a child’s mental and emotional growth happens in the mother’s womb.

She said by age four, it is too late for a child to develop early childhood skills. Poor child development leads to poverty, she said.

“By helping a child, you are not just fixing the child, but fixing the family as well,” WuDunn said.

WuDunn and her husband,

BOOKS: HALF THE SKY: TURNING OPPRESSION INTO OPPORTUNITY FOR WOMEN WORLDWIDE

From the first married couple to win a Pulitzer Prize for journalism, here is a passionate call to arms against the oppression of women around the globe - ”the central moral challenge” of our time. Through inspiring stories of extraordinary women, Kristof and WuDunn show that the most effective way to fight global poverty is to unleash the potential of women. They also offer an uplifting do-it-yourself tool kit for those who want to help.

Pruis Hall played host to a packed audience, all there to listen to Sheryl WuDunn on Monday evening. WuDunn connected with audience members through stories about her travels around the world.

Nicolas Kristof, a New York Times columnist, were the first married couple to be awarded a Pulitzer Prize for their reporting on Tiananmen Square protests, massacre and other major stories in China and Southeast Asia.

“My husband and I are trying to unveil the facts to show

that there are solutions,” WuDunn said.

The couple wrote two bestselling books, “Half the Sky” and “A Path Appears.” “Half the Sky” explains struggles of women worldwide while “A Path Appears” offers a solution to those challenges, WuDunn said.

“The world is a mess,” Wu-

Dunn said, “but if you contribute to a cause greater than yourself, you can at least create a purpose for your life.”

After her presentation, audience members were able to purchase both “Half the Sky” and “A Path Appears” and have them signed.

A PATH APPEARS: TRANSFORMING LIVES, CREATING OPPORTUNITIES

Equal in urgency and compassion to “Half the Sky,” this galvanizing new book from the acclaimed husband-and-wife team is even more ambitious in scale: nothing less than a deep examination of people who are making the world a better place, and the myriad ways we can support them, whether with a donation of five dollars or five million, an inkling to help or a useful skill to deploy

ROBBY GENERAL STAFF REPORTER @THE_Generex6

The Ball State field hockey team had a rough homestand over the weekend, losing both of its matches to fall to 3-6 on the season.

Compared to the past few matches, the Cardinals were much more offensive and forced the pressure onto their opponents.

Ball State outmatched the competition with 27 shots on goal over two games, compared to just 15 from its opponents. Despite the offensive aggressiveness, the Cardinals were outscored 6-3 because of a failure to put points on the board.

“We need to score goals, that’s the missing piece,” head coach Beth Maddox said. “I think consistency is the element that we’re missing at the moment.”

The Cardinals had a tough, 4-3 shootout loss to Saint

Louis on Sept. 28, after leading 3-0 earlier in the game.

“I think that the girls just weren’t ready today and weren’t consistent,” Maddox said. “The inconsistencies with their play is what caused the problem, I don’t think it had anything to do with us playing yesterday.”

Looking at the Ball State team that started 3-0 at the beginning of the year, incon-

sistency has cost the Cardinals in six straight losses.

In each of the first three games, Ball State started off with a strong lead and never let its opponent get back in the game. Sept. 28 marked the first time this season when Ball State scored first in the game and then lost.

Statistically, the Cardinals have kept pace with almost every team they’ve played. How-

ever, the team has been unable to capitalize in key situations.

On Sept. 27, Ball State outshot Central Michigan 11 to four, but the Cardinals couldn’t find a way to score.

Central Michigan was able to make two shots, winning 2-0.

The weekend homestand was a microcosm of Ball State’s past six games.

“In the first three games we worked hard the entire game, we worked together,” Maddox said. “We’ve shown that we cannot do that for 70 minutes and that’s the issue at hand.”

Ball State return to action on Oct. 3 when they travel to Iowa City to take on Iowa (72) at 8 p.m. Ball State is 0-3 against Big Ten competition this season.

Leonard was named to the All-MAC First Team for the consecutive year.

Downs will be another key piece for the Cardinals this season, as he helped guide them to the MAC title.

Elliott knows it will be a challenge to repeat as MAC champions.

“Our team is still growing, it’s going to be a long grinding season,” Elliott said.

This year the Cardinals

have three freshmen led by Collin Rigney. Rigney advanced to the championship round in the Flight B bracket, where he lost in three sets.

After the Ball State Fall Invitational, Elliott is confident in what the freshmen are capable of doing this season.

“They’re good, Rigney had a good showing in the tournament this weekend,” he said.

“They’re all still learning, it’s a big jump from high school

to college tennis.”

With experience and leadership from its seniors and a group of upcoming freshmen, the Cardinals look prepared to return to the NCAA tournament.

“By the time we reach the important matches, all the pieces will fall together,” Elliott said.

The Ball State men’s tennis team returns to action on Oct. 16 at the ITA Ohio Valley Regionals in Nashville, Tennessee.

TEAM BEGINS MAC PLAY WITH WIN, OVERTIME LOSS

Cardinals use deep rotation, aggressive style in 1-1 weekend |

ZACH CAINS CHIEF REPORTER zcains@bsu.edu

The Ball State soccer team began play in the Mid-American Conference with a statement.

After not scoring more than three goals in any match this season, Ball State’s offense exploded in a 5-0 victory over Bowling Green.

The win was an all-around team effort, with 20 of 30 Cardinals seeing game action and four different players contributing goals.

“With the performances being given by the girls, we were really able to keep switching them up and keeping fresh legs in,” head coach Craig Roberts said.

In the majority of its matches this season, Ball State has employed a more defenseoriented strategy, resulting in a fewer amount of shot attempts. Against the Falcons, the Cardinals attacked offen-

The offensive momentum from Friday’s win appeared to carry over to Sunday, with senior Jasmine Moses scoring in the first six minutes, giving Ball State an early 1-0 lead against Eastern Michigan.

Unlike its match with Bowling Green, however, Ball State was unable to add to its lead and ultimately fell 1-2 in overtime.

Despite managing only one goal, the Cardinals set a new season-high of shot attempts with 23, while limiting the Eagles to 11.

Ball State will have an opportunity to gain ground in the conference this weekend with home matches against Central Michigan and division leader Toledo.
