WHAT HAPPENED?

TUESDAY

AROUND NOON

Randolph released three racially derogative tweets toward Chinese people. “It’s so hard not to let national pride turn into arrogance when arguing with a Chinese person. #Americaisbest,” one tweet said. LATER THAT DAY

The tweets were taken down later in the day and replaced with a tweet asking for support. “At this point, what I need is support,” the tweet said. “From God. From friends. I make so many mistakes, but God is merciful.” Students began responding to Randolph’s statement on social media, mainly Twitter. Their opinions ranged from supporting him to calling for his resignation.

WEDNESDAY

Randolph took ownership of the tweets. “Today, I made insensitive comments through a social media account,” he said in an emailed statement. “I understand my words were hurtful. My actions in no way reflect the Student Government Association, and I vow to use better judgment in the future.” SGA released their first statement saying they were disappointed with Randolph’s actions and that they pride themselves on the diversity of their board. “President Malachi Randolph has worked tirelessly to build relationships with diverse groups from all over campus,” the statement said. “We are working to ensure our executive slate is sensitive to all groups and the constituents we serve.”

Cards hope to repeat 2011 success SENATE COMMITTEE BACKS SYRIA STRIKE Wenning, receivers had breakout game against Army in ‘11

|

MATT McKINNEY SPORTS EDITOR @Matt_D_McKinney

When Ball State takes the field against Army on Saturday, it will be an anniversary of sorts for three Cardinal players. The Cardinals played against the Black Knights two years ago at Scheumann Stadium on Family Weekend. The three main skill position players on Ball State’s offense, Jamill Smith, Willie Snead and Keith Wenning had career games against Army in 2011. “Was that our coming out game, so-to-speak?” said Rich Skrosky, Ball State offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. “It was pretty good. The biggest thing was we hit some big plays in that game.” One of those big plays was Smith’s first career touchdown. It was in the north end zone by a two-yard pass from Wenning in the second quarter. That was the first of Smith’s

nine career touchdowns to date. “It was a slant-and-go behind the corner for a touchdown,” Wenning said. Since scoring on the slantand-go, Smith has 97 receptions and 1,049 yards. He has also showed promise in the return game. Over the past four years, Smith has 1,523 kickoff yards returning and 385 punt yards returning. Smith said he’ll always remember the first touchdown he scored, but played down its significance. “I’ve scored many touchdowns in my life,“ Smith said. As a freshman, Snead had a career high 10 catches for 180 yards and a touchdown. It was also the first time Snead broke the 100-yard receiving yards mark. “It just shows you you can do it again,” Snead said of his recollection of going over 100 yards. “If you can get one 100-yard game, you can get another one.” The game showed signs of what Ball State fans would eventually see on a game-bygame basis in the 2012 season. Snead’s junior year saw him catch 89 passes for 1,148

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama’s request for speedy congressional backing of a military strike in Syria advanced Wednesday toward a showdown Senate vote, while the commander in chief left open the possibility he would order retaliation for a deadly chemical weapons attack even if Congress withheld its approval. Legislation backing the use of force against President Bashar al-Assad’s government cleared the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on a 10-7 vote after it was stiffened at the last minute to include a pledge of support for “decisive changes to the present military balance of power” in Syria’s civil war. It also would rule out U.S. combat operations on the ground. The measure is expected to reach the Senate floor next week, although the timing for a vote is uncertain. Sen.

with strong tea party ties, has threatened a filibuster. The House also is reviewing Obama’s request, but its timetable is even less certain and the measure could face a rockier time there. The administration blames Assad for a chemical weapons attack that took place on Aug. 21 and says more than 1,400 civilians died, including at least 400 children. Other casualty estimates are lower, and the Syrian government denies responsibility, contending rebels fighting to topple the government were to blame. The Senate panel’s vote marked the first formal response in Congress, four days after Obama unexpectedly put off an anticipated cruise missile strike against Syria last weekend and instead asked lawmakers to unite first behind such a plan. In Stockholm, Sweden, where Obama was traveling on Wednesday, the White House praised the vote, and said it would continue to seek support for “a military response that is narrowly tailored to enforce the prohibition on the use of chemical weapons, and sufficient to protect the national security interests of the United States of America.” THE PULSE OF BALL STATE

I think instead of resigning, he should have just owned up to it, released some kind of ‘Oh, I’m sorry, I messed up, I didn’t mean to be insensitive.’ I feel like he is just taking the easy way out of this just being like ‘oh, this is going to be too hard to deal with, I might as well just back out.

DEFENSE

Jonathan Newsome DE Nathan Ollie DT Joel Cox DT Nick Miles DE Ben Ingle LB Zack Ryan LB Kenneth Lee LB Eric Patterson CB Martez Hester S Brian Jones SS Jeffery Garrett CB

RB JAHWAN EDWARDS

It will be difficult to match Army’s rushing production yard for yard Saturday, but Edwards can at least give Ball State’s defense a breather when he’s on the field by using the running game to chew up the clock and make Ball State’s drives longer. He’ll face many defenders in the box as he takes handoffs with Army’s double eagle flex defense, but if he can break through the initial line, he may have a shot at breaking off a long run.

LB BEN INGLE

Ingle had a big part in limiting Illinois State to just seven points in the second half. He had nine tackles, two tackles for loss, an interception and half a sack. Ingle shouldn’t expect to duplicate those numbers every game, but he will still be counted on for a huge role against the Army triple-option offense.

CB JEFFERY GARRETT

Garrett will be one of two cornerbacks in charge of keeping the triple-option from being successful for Army. With how often Army runs the ball, Garrett will have to fight off blocks from the wide receivers to make tackles throughout the game. He also has to constantly be ready for the Army quarterback to step back and pass the ball, so he can’t be lulled to sleep by the constant rushing attack.

OFFENSE

With most expecting to see one of the vaunted Army running backs carry the load against Morgan State, it was Santiago who led the team in rushing for the Black Knights. The junior, replacing longtime quarterback Trent Steelman, had 16 carries for 129 yards and three touchdowns. He also added one touchdown through the air to junior wide receiver Chevaughn Lawrence.

Other than receiving passes from Keith Wenning, tight ends also are used next to the offensive line to help block the opposing defenders. Fakes may be called on to assist the two new offensive tackles to help read and block Army’s rarely used defensive scheme.

XAVIER MOSS WR

Moss is a true freshman from Texas who is listed at 6-foot-2 and 175 pounds. If Army decides to try a deep pass in Saturday’s game, Moss could be the one to benefit as he also ran track in high school. He caught two passes for 75 yards against Morgan State.

T.J. ATIMALALA DL

Atimalala will share time at nose tackle with junior Richard Glover. Atimalala and Glover will partially be responsible for keeping blockers occupied while the linebackers behind them make plays on the Cardinals’ rushing. Glover even showed a little pass-rushing ability against Morgan State last week, notching one sack in the game.

GEOFFERY BACON DB After leading the team in tackles last season with 136, Bacon has moved from linebacker to the free safety position. Bacon showed that he can still tackle last week against Morgan State as he had a gamehigh 16 tackles. Ball State may be able to take advantage of Bacon’s size (6 feet and 207 pounds) in the passing attack.

A look at how Ball State’s positional groups could fare against Army’s during the game on Saturday

Ball State offensive line vs. Army defensive front

Ball State wide receivers vs. Army defensive backs

Army running backs vs. Ball State linebackers

The Ball State offensive line gave up three sacks in Aug. 29’s win over Illinois State. After giving up just 12 sacks in 2012, the lack of protection for Keith Wenning is concerning. Running backs Jahwan Edwards, Horactio Banks and Teddy Williamson made up the difference with a combined 100 yards on 25 carries. The 4.0 yards per carry average fell short of last season’s 4.9 average. Center Jacob Richard and guard Jordan Hansel both started against Army in last year’s game. Their experience will be valued as the Black Knights’ double-eagle flex defense poses a challenge to opposing offenses. The defense utilizes a mix of three and five down-linemen to create pressure on the quarter back. Last week Army generated three sacks on just 13 Morgan State passing plays. Ball State’s offensive line will have its hands full with the aggressive Army Defensive front.

Though Army allowed just six completions in its season opener, the Black Knights now face a much more established Ball State receiving corps. Seven Cardinal receivers caught a pass last week for a combined 340 yards. Quarterback Keith Wenning connected with receiver Willie Snead nine times for 164 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Receivers Jordan Williams and Jamill Smith added 64 and 63 yards. Though tight end Zane Fakes reeled in just one 24-yard catch, he will be a player to watch against Army. His size and presence underneath the single-high coverage that Army uses will be critical to Ball State’s offensive attack. Fakes will step up as the Ball State receiving corps continues to produce at a high level.

Ball State allowed just 74 rushing yards on 36 attempts against Illinois State. The Redbirds passed the ball 29 times. The Black Knights’ triple-option offense tends to be very run heavy. In last week’s game Army rushed the ball 42 times for a team total of 304 yards, while passing the ball just 10 times. Quarterback Angel Santiago led the team with 16 attempts and 129 yards rushing. Three of Army’s four touchdowns came by way of rushing attempts. Ball State’s linebackers contained the run game last week, and made plays in the passing game as well. Army gained 350 yards on the ground in last season’s game, and will likely run well against Ball State on Saturday.

COACHING STAFF WANTS TO KEEP WENNING UPRIGHT AGAINST ARMY Hansel set to return to starting lineup following bench role in week 1 win MAT MIKESELL CHIEF REPORTER | @MatMikesell

DN FILE PHOTO JONATHAN MIKSANEK

Quarterback Keith Wennning searches for an open player during the first home game against Illinois State on Aug. 29. Ball State is looking to limit the amount of sacks against Wenning for Saturday’s game against Army.

Ball State may have won the season opener by a comfortable margin, but the coaching staff didn’t feel comfortable about Illinois State getting to Keith Wenning. Wenning was sacked three times in the Cardinals’ 51-28 win on Aug. 29 with five new starters at the offensive line. On several occasions, he was rushed and was forced to make quicker throws. “Three sacks is always too many,” said Nick Tabacca, offensive line coach. “But like any, you evaluate them and see why they happened.” The glaring factor for Wenning’s three

sacks is the offensive line. The most experienced lineman — Jordan Hansel — played minimal time against Illinois State; therefore the majority of the offensive line was filled with newer players. But offensive coordinator Rich Skrosky said the three sacks allowed weren’t solely because of the offensive line. “One of the sacks was on the running backs,” Skrosky said. “The other two sacks, one was a communication breakdown that was really on Wenning. Really only one was attributed to the line.” Skrosky said the communication error from Wenning might have been a result of five new starters on the offensive line. For the most part, Skrosky was pleased with what he saw from the line. Wenning was sacked 14 times last season, tied for 15th best in the Football Bowl Subdivision. The low sack numbers came as a benefit from having the most experienced offensive line in the country in terms of combined starts.

The sacks didn’t seem to bother Wenning. As a senior quarterback, he’s come to accept it’s part of the game. “This year’s line isn’t as experienced,” Wenning said after Ball State’s win. “It is what it is. I got hit a couple times. But that’s what is going to happen when you play quarterback.” The offensive line should get a boost against Army as Hansel is expected to start Saturday afternoon. He’ll be expected to be an anchor for the Cardinals’ offensive line as the only returning starter from last season. The Black Knights like to place pressure on defense. Head coach Pete Lembo said Army’s double-eagle flex defense brings looks with five down linemen and three down linemen. He also said Army does well in disguising where pressure will come from. A 2-0 start to the season would be a good introduction for Ball State. Keeping Wenning on his feet in the win will make that introduction even better.

ARMY: Coach says team developed since last encounter | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Both receivers will attempt to replicate their performances in Saturday’s game against Army. Army plays a double-eagle flex hybrid defense, with sometimes three down linemen and other times having five down linemen. The coverages Army plays will be nothing different than what Ball State sees frequently — ­­ a single high safety over the top. “It’s more of a whole offensive thing,” Smith said. “They do a whole bunch of stunts, and a whole bunch of blitzes and our offense has to pick it up or it won’t matter what type of defense they’re in. We won’t be open.” Wenning, then a sophomore in his 14th start, threw for 324 yards and three touchdowns. That was the first 300-yard passing game of his career. Since his performance against Army, Wenning has had five 300-yard passing games. Skrosky said the offense has “added some wrinkles“ since the last time Army visited Scheumann Stadium. All three players have become mainstays in the Ball State passing offense since then. The three will line up as starters against Army on Saturday. If the game two years ago was a sign of things to come for Ball State, Saturday’s game is a reminder of what is. “I feel like that was the breakout game I needed,“ Snead said. “I always look forward to playing Army. Army is always a good game for us.“

Ball State takes I-69 rivalry despite 2-set comeback Fuelling looked calm, confident in 1st home match

DAVID POLASKI ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR @DavidPolaski

After knocking off IPFW in the first set 25-7, Ball State seemed poised to run the Mastodons out of Worthen Arena. IPFW had other plans. Ball State’s volleyball team needed all five sets to beat IPFW, a win that boosted the team’s record to 3-1 early in the season. The Cardinals dropped set two 27-25 and the third 2826 before rallying to win the next two 25-20 and 15-9. “You see it all the time in volleyball where you win the first set and it serves as a wake-up call for the other team,” Ball State head coach Steve Shondell said. “You end up fighting for your life because of the adjustments that are made.” Shondell’s Cardinals jumped out to a 5-3 lead in the fifth set, playing with more energy than shown in the previous sets. After extending the lead to 12-9, Ball State’s Alex Fuelling threw down two kills and a block by Jenna Spadafora and Hayley Benson sealed the win. Fuelling led Ball State with 24 kills, and she was a thorn in IPFW’s side thoughout the match. Making her first appearance at Worthen, Fuelling looked calm and comfortable as she orchestrated Ball State’s offense. Ball State made quick work of the visiting Mastodons in the first set, jumping out to an 8-1 lead, and extended it to 14-5 off two consecutive kills by Alex Fuelling. Ball State would finish on a 11-2 run, winning 25-7.

Breaking news, comments, interactive graphics and more.

“I wasn’t trying to think too much,” Fuelling said. “We knew what would be open and where to attack, so we knew what would be open on the outside.” IPFW was on its heels during the first set, and was outhit .480 to -.080 in the first set. Both teams rallied back and forth throughout the second set, with the score never extending past a 3-point advantage for either team. Tied at 25, Ball State’s Lauren Grant hit a spike wide. Mindy Marx had an attack error that gave IPFW a 27-25 set win. After having just two kills in the first set, IPFW responded aggressively. They tacked on 14 in the second set, with Emily Spencer leading the way with 5.

Spencer struggled to find open spots in the Ball State defense to attack, one year after landing 21 kills against the Cardinals in just four sets. She finished with 14 on Wednesday. With IPFW leading 18-16 in the third set, Ball State needed a timeout, and Marx responded with two kills to tie the set at 18. IPFW pulled back out in front a point later, and went on to win the set 28-26. “You have to give it to IPFW because they’ve got a great team,” Shondell said. “I was just disappointed because I thought we could have won it in three sets tonight.” Throughout the match, IPFW struggled to beat Ball State’s Kelly Hopkins. The redshirt sophomore’s size

gave the Mastodons’ fits, often forcing them to adjust their spikes or risk getting blocked by the 6-foot-3 Hopkins. “We let up in the second and third sets,” Hopkins said. “We knew we had to find a way to get the energy back in our favor.” Shondell made a switch after the third set, bringing Spadafora to replace Jacqui Seidel in hopes of rejuvenating the offense. He said Ball State has two qual-

ity setters in Spadafora and Seidel, and has the luxury of being able to go to either if necessary. Down 11-9 in the fourth set, Ball State needed a momentum-turner to save its chances of getting a win. Two spikes by Marx later, the set was tied and Ball State had gotten the break it needed. The team controlled the rest of the match, finishing off the fourth set 25-20.

Back to school celebration VGR show brings diverse bands to kick off semester DANIELLE GRADY STAFF REPORTER | dagrady@bsu.edu

For eight years, Village Green Records has celebrated the return of students to Ball State’s campus with a backto-school party. Filled with an evening of diverse musical acts, Saturday will mark the first of two major shows hosted by VGR this year with their Back to School Show. “There are two really big shows in the year, this is one of our biggest ones,” VGR owner Travis Harvey said. “I try to kick off the year really big for the new people that are here, and also for people returning.” Having such a big event early in the year allows Harvey to provide an evening of entertainment while also introducing people to Muncie’s artistic community. This year, the back-to-school event will feature a lineup of 10 completely different bands

only do the genres of each band differ wildly from each other, but they also come from a variety of places around Indiana, giving attendees a mixture of sounds and influences.

Among the bands playing are an ensemble Afro-punk band from Indianapolis called Sweet Poison Victim, Bloomington band Triptides and a “wacky” one man band, DMA. Harvey books the shows with some simple criteria: each act has to have soul and creativity. “I want to try and emphasize the type of music that is special and comes from the heart,” Harvey said. Also included in the lineup is Rodeo Ruby Love, who has played many times at VGR in the past. Having recently finished two separate tours opening for Reel Big Fish and Streetlight Manifesto, they’ll be returning for the back-to-school bash. “They’ve been doing really good for themselves, and they’ve made a name for themselves,” Harvey said. “To have them both come back and play here after playing big venues is really special.” The back-to-school show also includes catering by Greek’s Pizzeria, the local food truck Slop On Top and coverage by Ball State radio station WCRD. The first band takes the stage at 5 p.m.

DOGS TAKE OVER TUHEY POOL FOR DIP Dogs with drenched fur will take over Tuhey Pool on Saturday. For the Drool in the Pool event, owners may bring up to two dogs and let them splash and play for hours in the community pool. At the event, there will be a concession stand, dog treats and informational booths, as well as dog microchips for $20. The event also will have dock diving and a wet T-shirt contest — but only dogs can participate. Phil Peckinpaugh, superintendent of the Muncie Animal Shelter, said he thinks this a great event for the city of Muncie. “I hope to see a lot of committed pet owners out with their dogs,” Peckinpaugh said. “It’s a great opportunity for people to bring their pets out; we are really looking forward to it.” All general admission proceeds will benefit the Muncie Animal Rescue Fund and the Muncie Animal Shelter. “The Muncie Animal Shelter will be using the money solely for vet bills for the animals here at the shelter,” Peckinpaugh said. “None of it will go toward salary or pay, it strictly goes to the animals.” Todd Smekens, publisher for the Muncie Voice, said he has great hopes this first-time event will remain in the Muncie community for years to come. “It’s a way for the dogs to come and have fun in a pool that otherwise they wouldn’t be able to play in,” Smekens said. – STAFF REPORTS

SGA: President of Asian student association says she’s offended

OUR VIEW

SGA STILL HAS DAMAGE TO FIX WITH STUDENT BODY

AT ISSUE:  Despite president’s preemptive resignation, derogatory comments were still made

The posts that Student Government Association President Malachi Randolph made through his personal Twitter account Tuesday did offend and will continue to hurt some students on campus, despite what some students consider to be just a subtweet. Randolph’s pending resignation is necessary for many parts of campus to get past the derogatory comments made toward Chinese students, including his hashtag that seemed to hit students particularly hard on Twitter: #Americaisbest. In the 2012-2013 academic year, 767 international students from countries in Asia attended Ball State. Among those international students, 330 were from China. The university also had 171 AsianAmerican students in attendance last year. So, more than 900 students were ostracized — and many more were offended — by comments made by an elected official who not only represents SGA, but the entire student body and Ball State as a whole. The passive-aggressive behavior Randolph demonstrated goes against all of the diversity goals Ball State works toward each year. In a time when we should celebrate the diversity achievements of the university, these negative statements will unfortunately take precedent. On Friday, Indiana

CAMPUS DIVERSITY

District 6 Rep. Luke Messer will be on campus to give an award to Ball State from the Commerce Department for its efforts in recruiting international students. These comments could make Messer and others think of Ball State in a new, negative light. Imara Dawson, executive director of the Rinker Center, said he hopes the news won’t leave a bad impression. “I would hope they would look at Ball State University as a whole and not take one incident and make a broad brush of what Ball State students are like,� he said. Chloe Anagnos, SGA vice president, will take the position a week after Randolph formally resigns, and the SGA executive board will still have amends to make with the students who were clearly rejected by their student leader’s comments. The executive slate did make it clear through a statement Tuesday that the comments made by Randolph were his alone, but they will still need to rebuild relationships with the students affected. The new leadership is necessary. We just hope the newly rearranged executive board knows the power of its words, even if on a personal Twitter account. SGA also needs to take the appropriate actions to regain the trust and appreciation of the students who Randolph hurt and offended.

Promoting diversity on campus and encouraging unity between student organizations were among the executive board’s platform points during their campaign last school year. They had planned to partner with the Rinker Center for International Programs. Imara Dawson, executive director of the Rinker Center, said he has not been approached by SGA yet, but the “door is always open.� Giang Tran, secretary of the SGA board, said they are still committed to those points, even in the wake of Randolph’s resignation. According to the Rinker Center, there are 767 international students from Asian countries, 330 of which are from China. Romelle Taday, president of the Asian American Student Association, said she was offended by the tweets and is worried about the students in her organization. “It concerns me that the Chinese students [in] my organization may be deeply hurt by Malachi’s tweets,� Taday said in a statement. “It is because of that diversity that our country is as great as it is today. I can only hope that Malachi rethinks the biases revealed in his tweets and appreciates the diversity that thrives on Ball State’s campus.� Randolph said his tweets were “venting� about one person and not meant to offend an entire culture. “The tweets were not directed to a race. ... I hope that will help those people understand I was just venting over

Charlene Alexander, associate provost for diversity, believes the incident highlighted natural biases. “It reminds me that this is a wonderful opportunity for everyone to understand how important diversity is,� she said. “While we’re making lots of progress, there are still lots of areas for growth.� Dawson said he hopes to work with SGA to avoid these situations in the future. “My office could work with the SGA to make sure that we can work together, and make sure that people on campus have a much better understanding of how other cultures work and have more cultural sensitivity so we won’t have these unfortunate events happening,� Dawson said. Anagnos said she and the rest of the board will try to make amends with the student body. “Although I don’t really like the circumstance that I acquired this position, I definitely embrace the opportunity,� she said. “I am willing to put forth my positive and energetic attitude and kind of console anyone who may have been offended by what had happened.� The incident highlighted what was the appropriate use of social media, Taday said. “I also hope that students, especially student leaders, will be more cognisant of the things we post on social media,� she said in a statement. “After all, people are watching and we should always represent the best of who we are.�
