SGA PRESIDENT TWEETS DEROGATORY REMARKS Student Government Association president Malachi Randolph responded Tuesday night to racially insensitive comments posted on his Twitter account. Three tweets posted around noon Tuesday featured derogatory comments about Chinese people. Randolph issued a statement in an email confirming he was responsible for the tweets. “Today, I made insensitive comments through a social media account. I understand my words were hurtful. My actions in no way re-
flect the Student Government Association, and I vow to use better judgment in the future,” he said. The SGA executive board released a statement regarding Randolph’s actions. “The Student Government Association was disappointed to learn of the comments made by our president earlier today. The Executive Board prides itself on the diversity of its board and the coalition of voters that trusted in our ability to serve. President Malachi Randolph has worked
tirelessly to build relationships tweets from sga president with diverse groups from all over campus. We are working to ensure our executive slate is sensitive to all groups and the constituents we serve,” the board said in an email. The tweets were removed later in the day followed by a tweet saying, “At this point, what I need is support. From God. From friends. I make so many mistakes, but God is merciful.” – staff reports NewsLink Indiana contributed to this story

ince Slop on Top first rolled in, the fascination with food trucks in Muncie has been on the rise — going along with the trend seen across the nation. According to IBISWorld, a national research business, food trucks are now a billion dollar industry. Since 2008, the food truck industry has grown by 8.4 percent and there are an estimated 30,810 food trucks in the nation. Indianapolis has a total of 61 food trucks listed on the city’s official visitor’s site, and the booming trend is rolling to outskirt cities like Muncie. New technology is a main reason for the growing food truck industry, making it easier for owners to operate their mobile restaurants.

Food trucks, one of the newest trends to hit Muncie, won’t be on campus anytime soon. “There is no place on campus where we would permit food trucks operated by outside vendors to park and serve food,” said Joan Todd, executive director of public relations, in an email. “It is very challenging to keep food trucks up to the food safety code requirements.” Campus policy specifically aims to reduce the risk of liability by insuring that all food and beverages sold and provided on university property must be supplied by Ball State Dining or catering services, she said. Puerta’s Mexican Food and Catering, Slop on Top and Carter’s Nearly World Famous Hotdogs are all available in the Village and monitored by the Delaware County Health Department.

| THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — A New York jury has awarded $30,000 in punitive damages to a woman who sued her ex-boss and his nonprofit jobs organization after he unleashed an N-word tirade at her last year. Brandi Johnson said she was happy after the Manhattan federal jury concluded Tuesday that Rob Carmona must pay $25,000 and his organization Strive East Harlem another $5,000. Those awards are in addition to $250,000 in compensatory damages that the jury awarded Johnson last week. Carmona wiped his eyes with a towel and appeared emotional as he testified Tuesday. He said he learned his lesson that he must communicate differently than in the past. Johnson’s defense attorney accused him of crying “ghost tears” and urged jurors to award additional damages to show him that “calling somebody the N-word is a very serious thing.” The case against Carmona and the employment agency he founded, STRIVE East Harlem, hinged on the what some see as a complex double standard surrounding the N-word: It’s a degrading slur when uttered by whites but can be used at times with impunity among blacks. But 38-year-old Johnson told jurors that being black didn’t make it any less hurtful when Carmona repeatedly targeted her with the slur during a March 2012 tirade about inappropriate workplace attire and unprofessional behavior. Johnson, who taped the remarks after her complaints about his verbal abuse were disregarded, said she fled to the restroom and cried for 45 minutes. “I was offended. I was hurt. I felt degraded. I felt disrespected. I was embarrassed,” Johnson testified. In closing arguments, Johnson’s attorney Marjorie M. Sharpe said Carmona’s use of the word was intended to offend “and any evidence that defendants put forth to the contrary is simply ridiculous.”

Food trucks, or mobile food establishments, have to be well inspected as a result of their temporary nature, said Josh Williams, Delaware County Health Department administrator. “Mobile food establishments have to go through a certain protocol,” he said. “We inspect them the first time that they operate, and then sporadically when they’re on public property.” The health department visited Puerta’s new truck three times in the past three months. However, there is no set number of times the food trucks have to be inspected, and factors like complaints could cause them to be inspected more often. “The mobile food establishments are inspected more often than retail because their setup is so temporary,” Williams said. All food trucks are held to the same standards as retail food establishments, such as waste water disposal, type of sink and sanitation. Williams said food trucks, like other restaurants, are inspected and regulated on the county level.

Familarity important factor for game
Lembo will prepare team for Army’s cut blocking style MAT MIKESELL CHIEF REPORTER | @MatMikesell
Ball State and Army have certainly gotten to know each other the last few years. The two teams will meet again for the third time in as many seasons Saturday, and the fourth time in five seasons.
The multiple meetings between the two programs has caused some familiarity between the two, which head coach Pete Lembo said can be both an advantage and a disadvantage. “It helps that we have a little bit better idea of what to expect, but so do they,” Lembo said. “They can be a little better prepared going in.” Every team in the college football knows what to expect from Army — the triple-option offense. Since head coach
TIGER’S PLAY
Rich Ellerson arrived at West Point, N.Y., he’s installed his run-heavy scheme that’s made the Black Knights consistently one of the top running teams in the country. Army averaged 369.8 rushing yards per game and 4,438 total rushing yards last season. Both numbers were top in the Football Bowl Subdivision. As an offense, 806 of Army’s 921 plays were running plays. The Black Knights have run for 402 yards and 341 yards in the last two games against
the Cardinals. But the yards haven’t resulted in points, as Ball State has won both games by a combined scoring margin of 78-43. “It’s no question it helps [Ball State has had success against Army],” Lembo said. “Our kids believe in what we’re doing, which is half the battle.” But Ball State will line up defenders Saturday afternoon that haven’t faced Army’s triple-option before, which presents its own challenge. The inexperience means

He is, by far, the team’s most experienced lineman with 27 career starts. He was listed as “questionable“ before Thursday’s game, and isn’t on this week’s injury report. LEMBO’S TAKE: “He’s feeling better day by day. He was glad to get in there and get some live-game action. ... We’re glad Jordan will be back hopefully full-time.“

thinks the nickname may have played a role. “I was hoping it would bring some fiery personality out of her,” Shondell said. “I think it’s starting to pay off.” To Benson, the nickname wasn’t just something to be used as motivation. As a middle blocker, Benson is planted in the front row, in the center of the lineup. Nearly every play, Benson is leaping to block spikes from the opposing players, or throwing down kills of her own. The position lends itself to being aggressive, as she is usually face-toface with her opponents every time she jumps. Being constantly engaged with net play gave the nickname a new connotation for her
besides being more verbal. “Part of why he [Shondell] gave that name to me is because I prowl the net”, Benson said. “It’s really not a bad nickname.” Nicknames are typically inside jokes, but Shondell’s reaches beyond a joke into a serious attempt to pull ferocity out of Benson, which showed during her team’s weekend road trip to Tampa. Unless a player likes the nickname, it isn’t likely to make an impact, doing what Shondell hopes it would. The ultimate decision comes down to whether or not Benson likes the moniker and wants it to stick. “I’m not going to complain,” she said. “Tigers are pretty fierce animals.”
HOME OPENER RENEWS I-69 RIVALRY Spencer had 21 kills in previous meeting for 3-1 IPFW victory

DAVID POLASKI ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR @DavidPolaski
Ball State’s volleyball team doesn’t have the time to dwell on its Saturday defeat. Not with the mindset that head coach Steve Shondell has, and not with IPFW right around the corner. Playing in its first home match of the season, the team has two options. Either think about what could have been over the weekend, or focus on the rival that’s just 90 minutes north of Ball State. “It’s really a natural rivalry, it’s the I-69 rivalry,” Shondell said. “We’ve played them a lot, usually every year and they slayed us last year.” To reverse its fortune, Ball State will need to knock off an IPFW team that beat the Cardinals last season. IPFW went 25-7, earning a spot in the NCAA tournament. IPFW is undefeated after knocking off Duquesne, South-
4DOWNS
FOOTBALL
JORDAN HANSEL
For Benson, the nickname was unusual but grew on her. For an unassuming person, the nickname “tiger” seemed like more of a surprise and shock than the meaning Shondell intended. “I’ve never been called tiger before, so at first it was a little different,” Benson said. “Now I’m so used to it that I immediately answer to it.” Last season, Benson was playing in her initial season and saw action in just 54 sets and only amassed 65 kills while committing 33 errors. The drastic difference shows the steps forward Shondell’s soft-spoken tiger took during the offseason. He said he’s seen growth in Benson on the court and
ern Illinois and Connecticut to begin the year. A 3-0 start this season means the Mastodons are on senior Mindy Marx’s radar, knowing improvements must be made to get the upper hand. Ball State committed seven blocking errors in its first three matches, which the other three teams combined for 12. “There’ll be a focus on blocking,” Marx said. “It was something we struggled with over the weekend, so we’ll need to put up a big block to have a chance to win.” The biggest threat to the Cardinals defense will be Emily Spencer. The junior outside hitter has 53 kills, the highest mark on IPFW, and was named Summit League Player of the Year last season. A familiar foe, Spencer ripped Ball State for 21 kills last fall, leading her team to a 3-1 match victory. “We’ve got a lot of respect for them because of what they’ve done to us in the past,” Shondell said. “It doesn’t take a whole lot to get up to play because of the talent level.” For Shondell, the IPFW match
during the week. Lembo has said in the past he expects Army to run for 300 yards every game and focuses on getting points when Ball State has the ball. The Cardinals have succeeded in getting points the last two meetings between the two schools, but it won’t make this year’s meeting any easier. “This is definitely a big chess match this weekend,” Lembo said. “The guys just have to make sure they go out there and stick to their assignments.”
Four things to know before Ball State’s game Saturday against Army at 1 p.m.
Redshirt sophomore earned name despite quiet personality
Not all tigers have a loud roar. Such is the case with Ball State redshirt sophomore Hayley “Tiger” Benson. The quiet, unassuming Benson stands at 6-foot-4 and is tied with Lauren Grant for tallest on the team, though she can be quiet as a church mouse. Ball State volleyball head coach Steve Shondell didn’t give Benson her nickname because of her fierce play, though it would make sense. Benson has tallied 32 kills and only one error all season, and holds the second highest attacking percentage on the team at .517, although current leader Catie Fredrich has just one attack attempt compared to Benson’s 60. Shondell awarded Benson her nickname hoping it would motivate her. A middle blocker and opposite hitter, Benson’s play sometimes dwarfs her voice. Engaged in nearly every play, middle blockers must be aggressive and unafraid of confrontation. “I gave her that name to try to bring the tiger out of her” Shondell said. “She’s so quiet and reserved; I wanted to give her a name to make her more dominating and assertive.” Although some players embrace letting their play do the talking, being vocal can breed confidence both in the player and in the team.
some players will have to be aware of Army’s cut blocking in its offense. Cut blocks are a vital part of the triple-option offense. A cut block is different than a standard block, as the linemen block defenders’ legs in thighs above the knee. Lembo said cut blocks are hard to prepare for because he doesn’t want to injure his defense in practice. The team will practice cut blocking at half or three-quarters speed to prevent any injuries to defenders
isn’t any different than any other non-conference match. He said that no matter how big the win is or how devastating the loss, it only counts as one match in the final standings. A win against the Mastodons could help the Cardinals’ chances of reaching the NCAA tournament. When selections for the tournament are made, officials look who the teams on the bubble have had success against. Wins against strong programs help boost tournament chances. To have success on Wednesday, Ball State will need strong contributions from Hayley Benson. A middle blocker and opposite hitter, Benson has 32 kills and just one error which is good for a .517 attack percentage. Benson knows the first step towards winning the match against IPFW is preparation. “I’ll be going over scouting reports tonight and getting in the mindset of having a game tomorrow,” Benson said. “Weekday games are hard because you’ve got homework and class ... I’ve got a game that I really need to be focusing on right now.” The game can’t come soon enough for Marx either, who

said she’ll be thinking about it all day, wishing she could be on the court instead of in the classroom. With the entire team focused on winning its match against IPFW, one thing is clear. It seems they’ve put last Saturday’s loss in the rear-view mirror.
2
BALL STATE WILL HAVE TO PREPARE TO BE CUTBLOCKED
The team will take some of the time during practice originally used for tackling this week and spend it on defending the cut blocks that Army uses against opponents. Cut blocking is when an offensive player will dive at a defender’s lower body to knock them down, as opposed to engaging them in their upper body. LEMBO’S TAKE: “It’s really hard to simulate it full speed in practice. You don’t want to get your guys banged up in practice. The real work that you’re doing is in slow motion, half speed, three-
quarters speed. When that stuff happens [Saturday] it will be done at a different speed.“

THIS ISN’T YOUR FATHER’S ARMY TEAM
New starting quarterback Angel Santiago isn’t just a running back with a passable arm, he’s a competent passer on his own right. In the season-opener against Morgan State, Santiago went 4-of-8 passing the ball for 101 yards and a touchdown. He also ran for a temhigh 129 yards. LEMBO’S TAKE: “He got off to a great start, both running it and throwing it in the game against Morgan State. ... They did throw it more. They did throw it more efficiently than in what they have in the past.”
4
BALL STATE CAN’T AFFORD TO HAVE THE SAME START THEY HAD AGAINST ILLINOIS STATE
Ball State can’t afford to have the same start they had against Illinois State. It’s easier for Army to play with a lead due to its tripleoption and its prowess at rushing. If Ball State gets into another 14-6 deficit, Army can control the clock and dominate the time of possession battle. ”LEMBO’S TAKE: “If you fall behind to an option team, it’s a much more difficult hole to dig yourself out of.”

Intervention in Syria looks like a possibility UNITED NATIONS WARN AGAINST ACTION
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Tuesday warned that any “punitive” action taken against Syria for an alleged chemical weapons attack last month would be illegal without Security Council approval or a sound case for self-defense. The U.S. and France have blamed Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime for the alleged Aug. 21 attack and are considering military action in response. Such a strike would almost certainly occur without the approval of the Security Council, where Russia and China have consistently used their veto power to block action against Assad’s regime. The Obama administration argues that a chemical weapons attack cannot go unpunished because of the council’s inaction. “As I have repeatedly said, the Security Council has primary responsibility for international peace and security,” Ban said at a news conference. “The use of force is lawful only when in exercise of self-defense in accordance with article 51 of the United Nations Charter and or when the Security Council approves such action.

AIDES SAY SENATE AGREES ON ATTACK WASHINGTON (AP) — Congressional aides say the top lawmakers on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee have reached agreement on a resolution about using military force against Syria. The aides said the panel planned to consider and vote on the measure Wednesday. The resolution would limit the duration of any U.S. military action in response to the Syrian government’s suspected use of chemical weapons on its people. It also would specifically bar U.S. ground troops from Syria. Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey, who is the committee’s chairman, and Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee, the panel’s top Republican, reached agreement on the resolution last Tuesday. The aides spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t allowed to publicly discuss the measure in advance of Wednesday’s session.
Indiana campaign aimed at small business leaders Bipartisan members of General Assembly look to give owners a voice in government |
ARIC CHOKEY CHIEF REPORTER aachokey@bsu.edu
A state bipartisan campaign, aimed at giving more representation to small business owners in the Indiana General Assembly, will make its way to Muncie on Thursday. The Indiana General Assembly Small Business Caucus will open discussion to local business owners and other attendees at Mursix Corporation beginning at 8 a.m. “The Small Business Caucus of the Indiana General Assembly was formed this past session to give the small business community a bigger voice in what goes on at the general assembly,” said John Schorg, media relations director for the Indiana House Democrats.
According to the Small Business Association’s website, small businesses make up more than 97 percent of Indiana business. The SBA defines “small business” as a company that has fewer than 500 employees. The caucus is made up of State Reps. Terri J. Austin (D-Anderson), Tom Dermody (R-LaPorte), State Sens. Tim Lanane (D-Anderson) and Carlin Yoder (R-Middlebury). The town hall discussion will allow small business owners to give their input to the caucus. According to a news release from the IGA, the topics discussed will focus on the role government can play in helping small businesses run easier with an emphasis on
areas such as regulatory reform and higher education levels within the workforce. “It’s mostly along the lines of what kind of role government can play in helping small businesses grow and streamline their operations and help them be job creation engines,” Schorg said. “It’s as much listening as talking, so it’s more of a give and take, what are you looking for, what can we do to help you.” The caucus’ town hall tour started at the beginning of August and will run through the middle of this month, Schorg said. “One of the first steps they wanted to take was to go around the state and have town halls on the local level where they can meet with businessmen and discuss the kinds of concerns they had about what the legislature can do to help them with job creation, job

Fifteen years after starting as a Ball State freshman, Mitch Isaacs, former associate director of student life, has come full circle — moving into a new position to help freshmen adjust to Ball State. On Tuesday, Isaacs took on the role of retention and graduation specialist for full-time freshmen in the Office of Student Affairs. His role will include work with the 21st Century Scholars and commuter students. Isaacs said he is excited for a new challenge and to continue his work with students, designing and running programs to encourage student retention. “When I started with Ex-
cellence in Leadership, the challenge was to grow the program and raise profile of speaker series,” he said. “During my time with EIL, we met those goals, and now this is a new challenge — to help students stay at the university and have [the] best experience possible.” The new position assumes some of the responsibilities formerly held by a single retention specialist, who will now focus on sophomores and transfer students. This builds from his previous involvement starting the Commuter Ambassadors program, which helps commuter students build connections. Lauren Berger has assumed Isaacs’ responsibilities as associate director of student life, including running the EIL program and working with the leadership studies minor. Berger attended graduate school at Ball State from

retention and those kinds of things,” Schorg said. Past meetings have been in LaPorte, Bloomington, Greenfield, Ft. Wayne, Lafayette and will soon be in Anderson after Muncie. “Small businesses are the backbone of our economy and we must work together to strengthen Indiana,” Dermody said in a news release by the IGA.

This is the first semester that Geology 101 students will not spend an hour time slot in a lab each week. The class will remain three credit hours, but the time will be split into 75-minute lectures twice a week. The adjustment was made in part to make scheduling easier for students. Making scheduling easier will allow more students to be exposed to geology, said Scott Rice-Snow, chairperson of the department of geological sciences. The change is also an adaptation to the online learning environment. “We’ve been finding that, more and more, the hands-on active exercises we’ve been giving students have been online,” Rice-Snow said. Kirsten Nicholson, a professor in the geology department, said she will adjust to the change by continuing to assign
8,233 women killed yearly across India over ancient custom | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW DELHI — One woman dies every hour in India because of dowry-related crimes, indicating that the country’s economic boom has made demands for dowries even more persistent, women’s rights activists said Tuesday. The National Crime Records Bureau says 8,233 women were killed across India last year because of disputes over dowry payments given by the bride’s family to the groom or his family at the time of marriage. The conviction rate in dowry-related crimes remained a low 32 percent, according to statistics the bureau published last week. Indian law prohibits the giving or receiving of a dowry, but the centuries-old social custom persists. Dowry demands often continue for years after the wedding. Each year, thousands of young
Indian women are doused with gasoline and burned to death because the groom or his family felt the dowry was inadequate. Women’s rights activists and police said loopholes in dowry prevention laws, delays in prosecution and low conviction rates have led to a steady rise in dowry-related crimes. Dowry demands have become even more insistent and expensive following India’s economic boom, said Ranjana Kumari, a women’s rights activist. She blamed a growing culture of greed as India opens its economy to foreign goods that the younger generation cannot afford but badly want. “Marriages have become commercialized,” Kumari said. “It’s like a business proposition where the groom and his family make exorbitant demands. And the wealthier the family, the more outrageous the demands.” Suman Nalwa, a senior New Delhi police officer dealing with crimes against women, said dowry practices extended to all classes in society. “Even highly educated people don’t say no to dowry,” she said.

online exercises and bringing in materials to show the class during lectures. “I can’t teach rocks and minerals without showing you guys the rocks and minerals, which is why I’m going to walk everybody back over to the lab,” Nicholson said. “We have time, we have an hour to do it.” Nicholson said dropping the lab will have no negative affect on students majoring in geology. “We have a lot of geology majors who love the lab and that’s why they become geology majors,” she said. “We also have a lot of students who detest the lab with a passion. I think the majors understand that.” Beginning next year, there will be a Geology 105 class available to all majors. The class will be a hands-on lab experience with a field trip opportunity that can be taken in tandem with the Geology 101 course. The classes will still do the same general exercises and activities. “Just because we’ve done away with the official lab, it doesn’t mean we’ve done away with the exercises we normally do,” Nicholson said.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A Capitol Police officer is on leave after being charged with molesting an 11-year-old girl in a swimming pool. Indiana State Police spokesman Capt. Dave Bursten said Tuesday that 43-year-old Scott Litten of Anderson is on paid administrative leave but will be placed on unpaid leave if a hearing establishes probable cause that he committed a felony. Litten was initially charged with sexual battery in Johnson County south of Indianapolis, but a charge of felony child molesting was filed after the girl told child protection workers he fondled her Saturday night. Bursten said Litten has been a Capitol Police officer since 2002. Capitol Police patrol the Statehouse and state office buildings. Calls to Litten’s home seeking comment were met with busy signals. It’s not clear if he has an attorney.
LAWSUIT: Carmona claims N-word has multiple contexts in black community | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “When you use the word n----r to an African-American, no matter how many alternative definitions that you may try to substitute with the word n----r, that is no different than calling a Hispanic by the worst possible word you can call a Hispanic, calling a homosexual male the worst possible word that you can call a homosexual male,” Sharpe told jurors. But defense lawyers said the 61-year-old Carmona, a black man of Puerto Rican descent, had a much different experience with the word. Raised by a single mother in a New York City
public housing project, he became addicted to heroin in his teens and broke it with the help of drug counselors who employed tough love and tough language. Carmona went on to earn a master’s degree from Columbia University before co-founding STRIVE in the 1980s. Now, most of STRIVE’s employees are black women, defense attorney Diane Krebs told jurors in her opening statement. “And Mr. Carmona is himself black, as you yourselves can see,” Krebs said. In his testimony, Carmona defended his use of the word, saying he used it with Johnson to convey that she was “too emotion-
al, wrapped up in her, at least the negative aspects of human nature.” Then he explained that the word has “multiple contexts” in the black and Latino communities, sometimes indicating anger, sometimes love. Carmona said he might put his arm around a longtime friend in the company of another and say: “This is my n----r for 30 years.” “That means my boy, I love him, or whatever,” he said. He was asked if he meant to indicate love when he called Johnson the word. “Yes, I did,” he responded. The controversy is a blemish on STRIVE, which has been heralded for help-
ing people with troubled backgrounds get into the workforce. Its employment model, which was described in a CBS’ “60 Minutes” piece as “part boot camp, part group therapy,” claims to have helped nearly 50,000 people find work since 1984. Sharpe told jurors that STRIVE’s tough-love program cannot excuse Carmona’s behavior. “Well, if calling a person a n----r and subjecting them to a hostile work environment is part of STRIVE’s tough love, then STRIVE needs to be reminded that this type of behavior is illegal and cannot be tolerated,” she said.

SENSATION: National food truck trend creates local buzz REGULATIONS: Food truck laws difficult to satisfy | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
Slop on Top uses an iPad and an online program as their “cash register.� The program takes a percentage of the profits, but is free to download and provides a device to slide credit and debit cards. Puerta’s, Puerto Vallarta’s new mobile restaurant, and Slop on Top both utilize social media as their main source of marketing. Puerta’s food truck co-owner Ricardo Garcia, has worked at Puerto Vallarta’s for roughly five years. Garcia is using his food truck as a spin-off of the restaurant he grew up working in. Puerta’s uses the same recipes as the restaurant, but has a condensed menu. “Same people, same food, new generation,� Garcia said. Garcia, a telecommunications major at Ball State, created new menu layouts for the truck. As food trucks and trailers gather in the city, competition stays friendly. The three food truck owners agreed that each truck has a unique menu, so no one is stepping on any toes. “There are a lot of streets to go around,� Slop on Top cook Erik Hinds said.
THE NEW TRUCK IN TOWN
The Rolling Luau recently joined the other food trucks in Muncie and is owned by Amanda Champs, who spent 12 years in Los Angeles as a celebrity hairstylist. “Then I got bored,� Champs said. “So I quit my job and left for Costa Rica. Just me and my dog.� After eight years living in Costa Rica, Champs moved back to the states, met her husband and settled down in Muncie. Champs said her inspiration for her food truck came from the already established and booming food truck culture in Venice Beach, where the first Friday of each month, food trucks and eager patrons line the street for “First Fridays.� Champs said that although Muncie is a few years behind on big city trends, “It was only a matter of time, until the

Slop on Top became Muncie’s first food truck, when owner Bob Mattax opened the truck in the spring of this year. According to cook Erik Hinds, fresh vegetables and local meats are used in each of the 16 dishes offered.
craze hit here.� The taste of Rolling Luau cuisine is a mixture of Champ’s travels, including Costa Rican salsa recipes and Hawaiian barbecue. Champs aims to make fresh, healthy food, incorporating vegetables from her garden and pigs she raises herself. “I don’t want to serve food that makes people feel bad — nothing greasy and unhealthy,� Champs said.
A GAMBLE
The risks of food trucks are overlooked; with expensive startup costs, owners have to make important decisions. Garcia admits that they toppled over their initial budget for start-up costs. “We’ve already invested $40,000 to $50,000,� he said. “The prep table alone is worth $3,000.� The truck includes four refrigerators, a gas stove and multiple water tanks. Champs chose a different route, by opting for a food trailer rather than a truck, but the business grew so quickly she
ran out of space and needed to build a commissary behind her house for food preparation. Bob Mattax firmly believes in buying local at Lahody Meats and the farmers market and investing in biodegradable containers, even if means making less profit. A total of 75 cents of each meal goes to the container. “It’s not a cheap decision.� Mattax says. Mattax admits that currently Slop on Top is losing money, but he isn’t worried. Mattax said he was more interested in starting a legacy, and helping Muncie grow. As a Ball State alumnus, Mattax said he hopes less BSU graduates will leave after college, but stay and work in the community as a result of his efforts. He said Muncie has the potential to be more “cool,� and is dedicating his food truck effort to that cause. “[Muncie’s] not the prettiest girl at the ball, but she has a lot of personality,� Mattax said. “Food is a good place to start. Everyone can relate to it. We all gotta eat.�

Because of the confines of a mobile restaurant, an added requirement is that all the parts of a stationary restaurant have to become mobile, said Ricardo Garcia, assistant manager of Puerta’s food truck. The health department has to approve everything from water heaters to grills to refrigeration. Even though Williams said these regulations are difficult to achieve, food trucks and carts are increasing in popularity. Since mobile food establishments have to register for events in Delaware County, he said they have seen a lot of food truck participation this season at large events like the county fair or RibFest. Garcia said getting his truck together took three months. “The food truck business is

developing in Muncie, very slowly,� Garcia said. “It’s a great startup, but you’ve got to be safe and clean.� In Marion County, food trucks are restricted to certain areas of downtown Indianapolis and are not allowed to sell food from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., unless on private property.

MAGGIE BLACK FASHION FORWARD
The runway battle of the sexes He wears, she wears popular fashion gets a skeptical look from the opposite genders
MAGGIE BLACK IS A JUNIOR FASHION DESIGN AND MERCHANDISING MAJOR AND WRITES ‘FASHION FORWARD’ FOR THE DAILY NEWS. HER VIEWS DO NOT NECESSARILY AGREE WITH THOSE OF THE NEWSPAPER. WRITE TO MAGGIE AT MMBLACK@BSU.EDU.
W
e’ve brought back stories from our adventures, furniture for our new houses and apartments, and styles and trends that caught on over the long break away from school for the new year. Students try to keep up with the crazy, fast paced fashion world, but how often do we genuinely like what is being worn by our generation? Every time we all come back together again after time apart, I always take a step back, look around at everything being worn by our peers and think to myself, “Why is he wearing that?” and “Do guys actually like what she has on?”
Guys don’t necessarily dress to impress girls, and nor do girls for guys. In most cases, we dress to impress ourselves and the members of our own gender. We want to stand out but not too far, and we want to blend in, but not too much. However, every now and then it’s interesting to hear what we don’t normally get the chance to and get a little insight from our peers. Rather than grinning and bearing it, males and females share what they really think of their counterparts’ styles without holding back.
BRO TANKS
SCARVES GALORE
Female students feel tank tops should stay in their closets, not on guys. Junior education major Katherine Thomas said, “I am completely fine if it’s a shirt and they made it a cut off, but the second those arm holes are sewed in any kind of fashion, no ... Yeah I’m sure it gets hot and you want to wear a tank top to let your pits breathe like us girls can, but you get the liberty of going shirtless everywhere else, so let us have our tank tops.”
Men of this campus seem to really dislike the scarf fad. Senior Benaiah Carlstrom’s view is, why wear it if it’s not cold out? Ladies may think they are looking trendy and chic by layering accessories, but most of the time the gents are just wondering, “If it is not doing anything, why add it on?”
HIGH-WAISTED 90’S SHORTS
SAGGIN’ PANTS
When I asked a multitude of males what they don’t appreciate being worn by the female population right now, the general consensus was high-waisted shorts. “Let’s just stop this trend right now. I understand the girl’s perspective ‘Oh it makes me look thinner,’ but it starts to look like older people pants,” junior telecommunications major Jordan Cox said. These thrifty threads might seem fashion forward, but to the male population, they seem fashion backward. “I do not find the ‘high-waisted jeans’ attractive, personally ... A 90’s trend that should have stayed in that decade in my opinion. Sometimes girls cut them too short. Not for me,” senior telecommunications major Travis Rauwerdink said.

The ladies made it very clear that any sagging at all is found to be unattractive. “Sagging pants with a belt. There is obviously no point in wearing a belt if you don’t want your pants held up. The only reason to wear a belt is to stop pants from sagging,” sophomore special education major Hannah Oberhausen said.
