mages of police officers aiming assault rifles and driving armored ex-military vehicles through crowds in Ferguson, Mo., have left some people wondering what types of weapons their local police force has at its disposal. Ball State’s campus hasn’t received these types of weapons through the Pentagon’s 1033 program, which gives excess military weapons to civilian police forces, said Jim Duckham, associate director of public safety at the University Police Department. Duckham wouldn’t release which types of weapons UPD has access to outside of the program, saying it would be a security risk. Police departments have to request the equipment from the Pentagon, which then decides if the department has a need for the equipment. Muncie police, who would likely be involved with an on-campus emergency, have received six M16A1 rifles from the Pentagon program, along with several other pieces of equipment, including trucks, vehicle doors and 23 bayonets, according to a database of state police agencies’ equipment compiled by the Indy Star.

Students can continue to expect longer lines at the dining halls as the university attempts to increase its smaller-than-normal staff. “We’re not quite up to where we were last year, but we’re getting closer,” said Jon Lewis, director of Campus Dining Services. As of Tuesday, the university had 86.1 percent of dining shifts filled, which is 2.4 percent less than the same time last year. The decline has had effects on current dining services so far, like having to replace custom stir-fry dishes with pre-made combinations at the Woodworth Complex. Employees have also felt a shift in the workload. “We have been strained a little, especially with the noon insanity,” said Peter Clark, a senior public relations major and dining employee at The Atrium. Noon shifts are also one of the slots that are the least-scheduled time of day. “The more difficult shifts to fill are at lunchtime,” Lewis said. “Students are eating or going to class and they just can’t typically work many lunch shifts.” Even with the rush student employees are feeling during lunchtime, Clark said most of the burden is falling on food service employees. Some full-time dining employees are having to pick up overtime shifts, Lewis said, but the situation is not uncommon for the beginning of the school year. The current gap in employment is still small compared to the beginning of the year. On Aug. 21, 29.2 percent of shifts were unfilled. Despite the progress so far, Lewis said he’s looking into methods to prevent understaffing in the future, including recruiting and beginning the hiring process earlier than usual. “We have a little ways to go,” he said. “We are still hiring and there are still shifts available, so students that are interested should go to the Career Center and get a reference.”

Running back to play former teammate Banks looks to build on 134-yard effort in opening game victory DAVID POLASKI CHIEF REPORTER | @DavidPolaski When Ball State football’s Horactio Banks starts cutting up field against Iowa, he’ll be trying to sprint past Iowa linebacker Reggie Spearman. It’s the first time the pair will face off in college, but they know each other far better than most opponents do. That’s what happens after spending two years standing on the
sideline next to each other. Banks and Spearman attended Simeon Career Academy in Chicago and played football together during Bank’s final two seasons. The two talked directly after Iowa’s win against Northern Iowa, and again on Tuesday. “I told him that we’re coming out there to play some real good football, and we’re not playing to lose,” Banks said. There’s little trash-talking between the two friends, who both share a healthy respect for each other’s athletic ability. Last week against Colgate, Banks rushed for a team-high 134 yards on 13 carries. Meanwhile, Spearman re-

The only terrorist organization to be mistaken for a fictional spy agency, ISIS, was accidentally created by the United States and western countries. The group has beheaded two journalists with promises to kill more. Unfortunately, with the European Union in constant turmoil since 2011 and the United States still in a slow recovery from a recession in 2008, western countries aren’t equipped to deal with the group of rag-tag anti-government fighters that we used to root for. In April 2011, a Tunisian man set himself on fire to protest his government’s oppression. That initial action set off protests in Egypt, Libya, Tunisia and eventually Syria. The United States was directly involved in the uprisings in Egypt and Libya, providing air strikes against Muammar Gaddafi. The ruthless dictator, responsible for the deaths of thousands of his people, was brutally executed by rebels who dragged
« The American people can’t care about everything, but genocide in a country that is ignored because of Cold War politics cannot be accepted. » LAUREN CHAPMAN, “Miss Know-It-All” his body through the streets of Libya and beat it with his own gold-plated gun. In Egypt, we sent diplomatic support for their first democratic election. But Syria was altogether ignored by the international community. By the time the Syria uprising got going, the United States forces were exhausted trying to help the Middle Eastern push for democracy. When adding the problem of Russian support for president-dictator Bashar al-Assad, the United States couldn’t care. The Syrian rebels started protesting against their government in March 2011. By December 2011, 5,000 people were dead. The United Nations estimates the death toll in Syria to current-
ly be 191,000. The United Nations, in August 2012, accused al-Assad of war crimes, but suspended missions into Syria because of Russian vetoes on the Security Council. After the Friends of Syria Council and the United Nations failed to come up with solutions, the Syrian rebels had one last option: al-Qaida. Once al-Assad dropped biological weapons on his own people, Western countries made efforts to support the anti-government fighters in Syria. Unfortunately, that meant the United States was now supporting al-Qaida groups. Basically, the United States’ inaction for 14 months of Syrian conflict was enough to create the Syrian arm of ISIS. Political in-
stability in Iraq and tension with the United States provided an opening for ISIS. A pattern of crisis fatigue from the United States has generated more problems than it has solved. The apathetic response from the international community is responsible for the deaths of nearly 200,000 people, the formation of ISIS and the targeting of Western journalists by the group. The American people can’t care about everything, but genocide in a country that is ignored because of Cold War politics cannot be accepted. On Tuesday, journalist Steven Sotloff was beheaded. Not guillotined. Gruesomely and forcefully, Sotloff’s head was hacked off his body using a knife no bigger than a steak knife. We have chosen every other conflict in the world since March 2011 instead of Syria. ISIS has taken the role of an angry child, wanting to be a world priority. ISIS has to become our priority.

Safety steps up after teammate goes down with injury in season opener
DN FILE PHOTO COREY OHLENKAMP
Safety Martez Hester takes a tumble after tackling the running back during the Army game on Sept. 7, 2013. Hester will play for the Cardinals in light of the injury of Dae’Shaun Hurley. DAVID POLASKI CHIEF REPORTER | @DavidPolaski
When Ball State free safety Dae’Shaun Hurley went down with an injury against Colgate on Saturday, there wasn’t a sense of panic from the team. Martez Hester trotted onto the field to take his place and played the rest of the game. The Daily News was unable to confirm Hurley’s specific injury by time of publication. If he is out for the season, it will be Hester’s job again to be the last line of defense with strong safety Brian Jones. Just like last season, Hester and Jones were the starting safety tandem until Hester suffered his own injury against Eastern Michigan. Last year, Hester played in seven games, recording 32
tackles and two interceptions. “We’re friends off the field, so when we’re playing together, that lets us communicate a lot better,” Jones said. “Our biggest strength is being able to talk to each other and rely what’s going on on the field.” As safeties, it’s their job to be the last line of defense, the safety valves that can stop a ball carrier if everybody else can’t. On Saturday, the pair helped hold Colgate to just 10 points. Iowa, bringing a much more intense offense, will be an entirely different test. Hester isn’t without experience. He started five games last season before his injury, ushering in Hurley. After Hester returned, he and Hurley were used in a rotation, giving both experience while allowing them to stay fresh.
So, when Hurley left against Colgate, Hester was able to step in without missing a beat. “It wasn’t a big shock to me, it felt like business as usual,” Hester said. “All we do here is play with a next-man-up mentality, so I never even blinked.” As a key cog in the defense, Hester won’t be able to blink against Iowa either. The Hawkeyes had seven different players combine to rush for 166 yards in its win over Northern Iowa, and quarterback Jake Rudock passed for two touchdowns while not turning the ball over. Both Hester and Jones said the communication before, during and after a play will be the most important factor in slowing down the Iowa attack. They focus on using hand signals while playing in loud environments
where they can’t hear each other speak. Being a fifth-year senior, Jones has played the mentor role for Hester, just a redshirt junior. “He taught me to go out there and relax, just play your game,” Hester said. “We’ve all been playing this for basically our whole lives.” Jones said Hester brings a more physical element to the secondary which can spark the rest of the defense. Although Hester wasn’t the original starter when the season began, he said he understands Ball State has three capable starters in the safety positions and he’d have to be ready at any time to come in. He’ll have to be ready, as Ball State faces an Iowa rushing attack that ran the ball 36 times last week and has made a living playing power-running football.
Goalkeeper steps into big role Dennis opens season with 2 shutouts, 20 saves in 4 games
| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
|
ZACH CAINS CHIEF REPORTER @ZPC1329
Goalkeepers are tasked with two of the most important jobs on a soccer field — defending their team’s goal and keeping everyone synchronized. This season, Ball State’s goalkeeper Brooke Dennis has been doing both, to which her stats and sore throat can attest. “We worked on calling out and coaching on the field all throughout preseason, which is why I’ve almost lost my voice,” Dennis said while laughing. So far, her preparation this offseason seems to be paying off. A sophomore, Dennis has recorded two shutouts in four games, as the Cardinals have gotten off to a 2-1-1 start. She has tallied 20 saves on the season compared to the 18 combined saves by Ball State’s opponents. The addition of goalkeeper coach Ante Cop has also seemed to have a positive impact on Dennis. “I was always taught to stand my ground and stand up during breakaways,” Dennis said. “[Cop] taught me to keep moving and move in towards them.” Dennis and freshman goalkeeper Alyssa Heintschel also worked with Cop during the off-season on their reaction times and having quicker feet.
BANKS: Player to compete for bragging rights, win
DN FILE PHOTO JONATHAN MIKSANEK
Goalkeeper Brooke Dennis watches the action during the game against IPFW. The sophomore has racked up 20 saves in the four games the Cardinals have played this season.
“I watched [Dennis and Heintschel] closely when I first got here,” Cop said. “I noticed quickly that they both bring with them a lot of quality to the goalkeeping position.” Cop, who played professional soccer prior to joining the Ball State soccer coaching staff, described the position of goalkeeper as being another coach on the field and someone the rest of the team can count on. Even though Dennis and Heintschel are competing for
the same position, the two are friends off the field. “I pick [Heintschel] up after classes for our early practices and I really like her,” Dennis said. “I’m really competitive, so having her there just ups my game, and it also is great to have someone that I can talk to and not butt heads with.” Last year, former Ball State goalkeeper Layne Schramm finished the season ranked 20th in the nation in save percentage. Dennis, who sat
behind Schramm as a freshman, used the senior’s performance as motivation. “[Schramm] did great last year and upped her game,” Dennis said. “I took that as more motivation to up my own game, for not only when I played last year, but this year.” Though the team lost Schramm, the Cardinals return 20 letter-winners for the 2014 season. Dennis said the team has focused on chemistry-building exercises this year.
“We all are able to hang out with each other, nobody is left out,” she said. “There are no cliques — we are a big family.” After barely losing the MidAmerican Conference Championship last season, Dennis and her “big family” have laid out big goals. “I, as an individual, want to shutout at least half my games this season, and as a team we really are shooting to win the MAC title this year,” Dennis said. “We really feel confident and want to be near the top again.”
Last season, Spearman played a limited role. He compiled 10 tackles, including a career-high four assisted tackles against MidAmerican Conference opponent Western Michigan. Banks said practicing against Spearman in high school helped make him a better running back. Spearman was always a physical presence that forced Banks to improve. Despite now living more than 400 miles away from each other, the pair manages to keep in touch. Spearman is one of just a handful of former high school players Banks said he stays in contact with. They met up a over the summer and talked about football, their lives and memories from Simeon. Their head coach at Simeon, Dante Culbreath, said Spearman had an impact on Banks. Banks wants to call Culbreath to remind him that two of his former players face off Saturday. If he’s in open space against his friend, Banks laughed and said he’d try to run around the 230-pound Spearman rather than try to run over him. “I don’t run anybody over, I don’t do that,” he said. In this case, improving to 2-0 isn’t the only thing at stake. When going up against a familiar face, there’s more incentive to come out victorious. “Winner gets bragging rights for the year,” Banks said.

The parking lot between the Art and Journalism and Applied Technologies buildings has been made into all handicap spaces to make up for the construction taking up spaces.
CONSTRUCTION SHIFTS ACCESSIBLE PARKING LOCATIONS Accessible parking spots behind the Art and Journalism building have increased this semester due to construction in the area. Joan Todd, executive director of public relations, said accessible parking spaces on the west and north sides of the Applied Technology building are out of commission due to the renovations. The formerly unrestricted spots behind the Art and Journalism building have been converted to accessible spaces to compensate. Todd said all parking spaces will return to their normal designations once the construction on the Applied Technology building is finished. The anticipated completion date is December 2015. Larry Markle, director of disabled student development, said he doesn’t receive many complaints from students with disabilities about parking or accessibility. Although Disability Services does not deal primarily with parking, they do work with Parking Services occasionally to help students. Markle said students who complain about the number of accessible parking spaces should avoid being so quick to judge. “A lot of people who have disability parking [may] have disabilities that are not apparent,” Todd said. –ROSE SKELLY

IU, IUPUI police use program | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Assault rifles, military weapon scopes, body armor and mine-resistant armored trucks have been given to many police forces across the country through the 1033 program, according to the American Civil Liberties Union’s report, “The Excessive Militarization of American Policing.” Along with Muncie Police and UPD, the Delaware County Sheriff’s office would likely respond to an emergency requiring the use of this equipment. For example, last year’s reports of a gunman in the Jo Ann Gora Student Recreation and Wellness Center brought officers from at least six police departments to campus, including Muncie Police and Delaware County Sheriff’s departments. The Delaware County Sheriff’s office has received some equipment from the pentagon, including three M16A1 rifles and 14 .45 caliber pistols, according to the database. Other universities across the state have used the Pentagon’s program to receive surplus military weapons to bolster their armories. At Indiana University in Bloomington, police have received six M16 assault rifles since 1997. IUPUI received a somewhat larger arsenal, including six M16A1s, three M16s and 12
military-grade .45 caliber pistols. Purdue University’s police department received three M14 battle rifles. The M16 is a standard-issue military rifle used since the 1960s. The M16A1, an updated model, can empty a 30-bullet clip in less than three seconds, according to colt.com. The M14, an automatic rifle otherwise known as a battle rifle, uses a full-power rifle round and is accurate up to about 500 yards. It is typically used by marksmen. These weapons have been the standard-issue rifle for American soldiers dating back to the 1960s. Many people became aware of the 1033 program from images of police wearing military combat body armor and aiming military weapons at American civilians to quell riots in Ferguson, Mo., after Michael Brown was killed by officer Darren Wilson. Rick Richman, captain at the Delaware County Sheriff’s office, said his department hosts eight weaponshoots each year to train officers. Officers who are part of the SWAT team go through three additional training sessions each year where they practice with the high-powered weaponry. Richman said the weapons are invaluable in a world where criminals have access to the same equipment. He referenced a bank robbery known as the “North
Hollywood Shootout,” where two men robbed a bank wearing body armor and carrying AK-47 assault rifles on Feb. 28, 1997. Police didn’t have access to armor-piercing rounds nor weapons other than their service pistols and shotguns, which couldn’t pierce the body armor worn by the criminals, according
to the Los Angeles Times. “If you look back at the LA bank shootout, you have all those LAPD guys that were outgunned,” Richman said. “[Assault rifles] are out there for the general public, and there are [criminals] that have those type of weapons, you have [police] that are out-gunned if they
only have pistols.” Even though many police forces have access to these highpowered weapons, it doesn’t mean they are going to be used every day, Richman said. “We kind of weigh every situation differently,” he said. “Only the worst of the worst is when the [SWAT] team goes out.”

MEN’S AND WOMEN’S BASKETBALL
THREE GAMES TO WATCH Members of the men’s basketball team celebrate a point during the game last season against Akron in Worthen Arena. The 2014-15 season was announced on Wednesday and features 16 home games.
UPCOMING BASKETBALL SCHEDULES ANNOUNCED
THESE CONTESTS COULD BE IMPACTFUL NEXT SEASON MEN’S
INDIANA STATE: 7 p.m. Dec. 6, Worthen Arena
CENTRAL MICHIGAN: Time TBA, Jan. 10, Worthen Arena
NORTHERN ILLINOIS: 7 p.m. March 6, Worthen Arena
Ball State continues its longest standing rivalry against Indiana State. This will be the 129th meeting between the two teams. Indiana State is one of five non-conference opponents for the Cardinals this season.
The Cardinals split the season series with the Chippewas last year in two close games. Both teams won on their home floor, as Central Michigan beat Ball State in triple overtime. The Cardinals evened the season series on senior day.
This will be Ball State’s final home game of the regular season. Coach James Whitford will look to end his second season on a winning note and build momentum for the Mid-American Conference Tournament.
PURDUE: 7 p.m. Nov. 14, Worthen Arena
LOUISVILLE: Time TBA, Nov. 23, KFC Yum! Center
TOLEDO: 2 p.m. March 7, Worthen Arena
Last season, an untested Ball State team strutted into Mackey Arena and made a strong run at then No. 18 Purdue. After opening its schedule with a one-sided, 109-58 exhibition victory over Oakland City, Purdue served as the first real test for Ball State. The case will be the same this year as Ball State opens its season at home against Purdue.
Women’s basketball head coach Brady Sallee emphasizes the importance of having a tough non-conference schedule. Louisville certainly provided that challenge last season as it forced Ball State into 21 turnovers en route to a 10567 victory. Ball State will travel to Louisville this season with hopes of making up for the lopsided loss on its home court.
As was the case last year, the final game of the regular season can always carry implications for the MAC Tournament. By defeating Toledo 69-56, Ball State secured the No. 5 seed in the tournament. The Cardinals advanced to the MAC Championship game before losing to No. 3 Akron, so that regular season finale always has potential to be a big game. – STAFF REPORTS

The Ball State men’s and women’s basketball teams have announced their schedules for the upcoming 2014-15 season. The men’s team will play 15 regular season home games at Worthen Arena. It will play against the traditional in-state opponents, while also traveling to Utah and San Diego State for road contests. The team’s home opener will be Nov. 17 against IU Kokomo. Ball State’s women’s team will play a 29-game regular season schedule. It will play an exhibition against Oakland Nov. 4 before opening its season Nov. 14 at Worthen Arena against Purdue. The women’s team will also host the Ball State Federal Credit Union Thanksgiving Classic Nov. 29-30 in Worthen Arena. The Mid-American Conference post-season tournament is set to begin March 9 for both teams. –

Transfer looks forward to playing Hine in familiar area after growing up in nearby Noblesville
|
JAKE FOX ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR @fakejox3
Marissa Hine’s search for a school where she could play volleyball was short. Hine, a junior, was added to the Ball State women’s volleyball team Aug. 29 as a transfer. She spent her previous two years at Belmont University. “It was really cool going to that type of environment after high school,” Hine said. “Coming from a big public school in the Midwest going to a private Christian school in the south, it was a little bit of a culture shock.” Hine played in 30 matches in two years at Belmont, and recorded 69 digs as a defensive specialist. Despite Hine’s love for the campus and connections she had made at Belmont, she was ready to come home. A Noblesville native, Hine grew up around Muncie and is familiar with the city and its faces. She played club volleyball through Munciana, where she began at just 13 years old. “Some of my best friends live here,” she said. “I have teammates who still live here that I see all the time either walking through campus or just people I know from growing up. It’s really cool to be in such a familiar area.” Hine is also very close with her family, another factor that played into her decision to return to Indiana. While Hine is new to Ball State’s volleyball family, she prefers the Midwest style of play rather than that of the south. Her peers said this louder, more intense, ball control-oriented way of playing fits Hine and her personality. This style

Junior defensive specialist Marissa Hine talks to sophomore defensive specialist Nikki Box after the match against Northern Colorado Aug. 30 at Worthen Arena. Head coach Steve Shondell decided to give Hine a chance instead of having a walk-on try out.
was first introduced to her in the eighth grade while “in the presence of a legend.” “When I was 13 and walking into Burris Gym to get lessons from [women’s volleyball head coach] Steve Shondell, I was completely overwhelmed,” Hine said. Hine laughs at the irony of the situation, as she said she never thought she would play under Shondell. However, she sees herself in a perfect situation. As for Shondell, his past relationship with Hine and his search for a defensive specialist aligned at just the right time. Rather than holding a large walk-on tryout for one position, Shondell decided to give
Hine the opportunity, one she has taken full advantage of. “I had seen some video of her in college,” Shondell said. “I remembered her from her eighth grade year and knew she was a really good athlete, and all that kind of added up and we decided to add her to the roster.” Hine has worked her way into a leader on the second team in practice. She said her new teammates have made her feel like she’s not even part of a new team. While Hine likely won’t be a major presence on the court this season, she will be ready for her chance. Shondell said she can be a big part of the future. “She’s a fearless defender
and loves to dig,” Shondell said. “We need her to become a good ball control player, good servicing player and a really consistent server for her to really contribute on the court.” Hine made her first appearance in a Ball State uniform at the Active Ankle Challenge this season. She played in a total of three sets. Even though she didn’t record many stats, Hine’s attitude about being a Cardinal goes far beyond the stat sheet. “Wearing that Cardinal jersey is a great feeling to be able to go out on the court and actually play and represent this pro- Junior defensive specialist Marissa Hine serves the ball in the match against gram … I can’t wait to get the Northern Colorado Aug. 30 at Worthen Arena. Hine was a manager in the summer, opportunity again,” she said. and she joined the team this season.
