our students from North Carolina State University created a new nail polish that functions as more than a fashion choice — it detects date rape drugs in drinks. North Carolina alumni Ankesh Madan and Tasso Von Windheim and undergraduate students Tyler Confrey-Maloney and Stephen Gray developed the Undercover Colors to help empower women to protect themselves from sexual assault, according to the company’s Facebook page. The nail polish allows wearers to test their drinks for common date rape drugs, such as Rohypnol, Xanax, and GHB. If the drugs are present in the drink, the nail polish will change color. The product isn’t for sale yet and is still in the early See NAIL POLISH, page 5 development stages.

KARA BERG CHIEF REPORTER
OFFENSE STRUGGLES IN LOSS TO IOWA Late collapse leads to dramatic finish against Hawkeyes POLASKI CHIEF REPORTER | DAVID @DavidPolaski On the ground and through the air, the Ball State football team’s offense struggled against Iowa. Leading 13-10 with less than three minutes to go, Ball State running back Jahwan Edwards took two handoffs, the first to the right and the second to the left, going for a combined negative one yard. On third down, quarterback Ozzie Mann’s pass flew far to receiver Jordan Williams’ right, who was creating separation and had room for a first down if the pass was on target. The drive stalled, and Iowa went on to score the game winning touchdown. Mann finished the game with 15 completions on 30 attempts for 129 yards, no touchdowns, no interceptions

and one fumble. Mann looked overwhelmed during portions of the game, not scanning through all his reads and firing passes short of his receivers. “There were some throws we made and some we didn’t make,” Ball State head coach Pete Lembo said. “The biggest thing was that we were off schedule. It isn’t easy to be a quarterback on third and long all the time.” Early in the game, Edwards had success running as the Iowa defense dropped back and respected the threat to

Pick out embroidery floss in any color of your choice, and cut off a piece as long as you feel comfortable with. Don’t worry about covering the entire thing; you can always add more. Tightly tie it off onto the bangle with a double knot. Start wrapping the floss around the bangle. Go slow and make sure that you get the floss as close together as you can. Don’t let any of the bangle show through. Every inch or so that you wrap, tie the embroidery floss off to secure it. I did this by looping the end of the floss through a loop I made on the bracelet. Pull the strand tight, tucking the knot on the underneath side of the bracelet. Also do this whenever you reach the end of your strand.

If you need to add more of the same color, just tie on another strand. But you can also add more colors by tying the end of one strand to a different color. Continue wrapping until it’s covered.
When you’re done with the bracelet, put a few drops of super glue on the knots you made. This will give the bracelet stability and keep the thread on the bracelet from unraveling. Cut off the extra thread and use a fingernail file to smooth some rough points made by the glue. Pro Tip: If you get super glue on your fingers, you can use fingernail polish remover to get it off.

Toughness is intangible, one of the little things that can help a team win games. Ball State head women’s volleyball coach Steve Shondell wants his team to continue to develop its toughness. “It’s tough to play three matches, but you do get lots of playing experience, which is what we need,” Shondell said. Ball State finished the weekend going 1-2 at the UniWyo Cowgirl Classic in Laramie, Wyo., facing adversity in all three matches. In its first match, Ball State erased a 2-0 set deficit to come back and defeat Montana 3-2. Despite a slow start offensively, the Cardinals fought throughout and pulled out a victory. Although the five-set win was impressive, Shondell thought his team played to its potential only once in the tournament — a 3-1 loss to host Wyoming. “It was an awesome environment, standing room only,” he said. “Both teams really played hard and played well.” Shondell said Wyoming may be the most athletic team Ball State will see this season. The Cowboys are 7-0 on the season, only being taken to four sets twice, one of which was by the Cardinals. Fatigue also played a factor for Ball State over the weekend, a result of playing three match-

es in a 24-hour span. The final match of the tournament, a 3-0 loss to South Alabama, took place approximately 12 hours after Ball State finished its second match the night before. “Not only were we one step behind, but we were two steps behind,” Shondell said. “[We] probably played as poorly as we’ve played in my four years at Ball State.” Due to a football game being played on Wyoming’s campus, the volleyball match was rescheduled for an earlier start time. Shondell said he would have preferred if the match had started at its original time.
Redshirt junior Hayley Benson was a bright spot for Ball State, as she was the lone Cardinal to make the All-Tournament Team. The middle hitter recorded 39 kills in the tournament, leading the team in all three matches. Benson hit a .489 combined percentage. She also posted a career high 17 kills against South Alabama. Despite her offensive performances, Benson knows she still has plenty of room for improvement in her game. “I have a lot to work on defense,” Benson said. “I definitely need to get my blocking up to par ...

NAIL POLISH: Product detects date rape drugs in drinks | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
Confrey-Maloney, co-founder and CEO of Undercover Colors, said in a Facebook post on the company’s page that one of their main priorities was to make sure the nail polish tested for a comprehensive set of drugs before it was released. “Through this nail polish and similar technologies, we hope to make potential perpetrators afraid to spike a woman’s drink because there’s now a risk that they can get caught,” Undercover Colors said in a Facebook post. “In effect, we want to shift the fear from the victims to the perpetrators.” Allison Wynbissinger, Ball State victim advocate, said while she thought the nail polish is a positive idea, she has mixed feelings about it. “It’s great that these are young men who are trying to enable
and empower other people to look out for themselves and to protect themselves,” Wynbissinger said. “But on the other hand, I feel like in some ways it reinforces the myth that these sexual assaults happen by slipping an actual drug into a drink, whereas the reality is that the number one date rape drug in and of itself is alcohol.” Wynbissinger said people need to be educated that alcohol is the drug many people use to facilitate rape, and students shouldn’t rely solely on the nail polish to keep them safe. About two-thirds of sexual assaults are committed by someone the victim knows, according to the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network, and 38 percent of rapists are a friend of acquaintance. “Rape prevention 101 comes down to a potential rapist,” Wynbissinger said. “The only
person who can stop a rape from happening is the person who is going to do it.” A common complaint about the nail polish is that by putting the sole responsibility to prevent the rape on women, it is victim blaming. “It’s not our job to prevent our own assault or to prevent ourselves from becoming a victim,” Wynbissinger said. Lisa Pellerin, director of Ball State’s women’s and gender studies program, said by using this nail polish, it could make people who would use date rape drugs in a drink feel less safe doing it. By making products like Undercover Colors, it acknowledges that there are people who deliberately intend to commit rape by incapacitating people. “It’s sad that that kind of thing does appear to be necessary, but certainly anything
that gives people an opportunity to be more aware of their surroundings and that prevents people from drugging you without your knowledge is a good thing,” Pellerin said. Sophomore exercise science major Parker Gagliano said the nail polish was a good idea. “Most women wouldn’t willingly put themselves in the position [to be drugged], and if you could prevent that and if you knew who did it, then that person could be held accountable,” Gagliano said. “And there are so many people that don’t get held accountable when they do things like this.” She said it could possibly lower the number of date rapes that happen. “If you’re wearing the nail polish, you know you’re putting yourself in a potentially dangerous situation,” Gagliano said. “It could help you stay safer.”
said. “It’s so cool to be able to make a difference for them.” The Pi Chi’s guide the women through recruitment and provide them with someone to talk to if they have any questions. “If they have a question, comment, complaint, concern, anything that they want to talk about, they can come to us as an unbiased member of the community without worrying about our affiliation,” Craig said. The rules are much more strict for Pi Chi’s. They can’t walk around in public with their sisters, and they have to deactivate their Facebook and other social media profiles. Lawson said the main reason she chose to be a Pi Chi was because she wanted to make a difference for the women going through recruitment. As a senior, being a Pi Chi meant Lawson had to miss what
she said was the most meaningful part of recruitment — the preference rounds. “[At the preference rounds], we are able to bond and hear the stories of what our sisters mean to us,” she said. “It’s a really special time and as a senior you usually get really emotional. I didn’t get to experience that with my chapter.” Even after missing her final recruitment with her chapter, Lawson said being a Pi Chi was worth it. “I’m so excited for tomorrow to see the girls in my group get the chapter they wanted and be able to reveal to them what I am,” Lawson said. “The best part was seeing the girls come out of my chapter and other chapters just crying because they were so happy, and just knowing we were a part of them finding those homes.”
INFRACTIONS: Pi Chi’s guide women during recruitment
| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “[Ball State] has what is called values-based recruitment,” Craig said. “It’s been found that conversation is what recruits people, it’s not a lemon in a water. So we are a no-frills university, we’re values-based.” Craig said a lot of people talk about the ban on lemon water. “A lot of people talk about [the ban] because it seems crazy, but it’s very minimal and it won’t make a difference in the long run anyway,” she said. Beginning at the end of April, before recruitment season, about 30 girls begin the disaffiliation process from their chapter to become Pi Chi’s, or recruitment counselors. Once the school year begins, Pi Chi’s are no longer allowed to talk to their chapter members and must be completely disaffiliated.
EXAMPLES OF INFRACTIONS • P otential New Members leaving rounds with any item • Talking to a PNM about the sorority outside of recruitment • Giving a PNM anything to eat or drink, except plain water • Promising a bid to any PNM “During relaxed silence, [our sisters] can’t see us and go ‘Hey sister, how’s it going?’ when we’re walking around on campus,” Craig said. Caroline Lawson, a Pi Chi, said being away from her sisters was the hardest part of being a Pi Chi, but Sunday after the final rounds of recruitment made the distance worth it. “So many of my girls that I just met a few days ago came up to me and gave me big hugs and were so grateful for everything we’ve done for them,” Lawson

Emergency crews respond to a call of a head injury after a student fell off his bike. A student witness said the chain on his bike broke and his head hit the ground in the street around 10 a.m. Friday on McKinley Avenue.
BIKE ACCIDENT RESULTS IN HEAD INJURY, STUDENT STILL IN STABLE CONDITION A student riding a bike down McKinley Avenue suffered a head injury after his bike chain broke Friday, causing him to fall in the street, said a student who was walking nearby. Alex Raaen, 20, sustained a head injury before being transported to IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital, said Joan Todd, a university spokesperson. Ball Memorial Communications Coordinator Lucy Harcourt said Raaen is in stable condition. Nikko Berrios, a senior professional selling major, said Raaen was “flying” across the street toward the Architecture Building around 10 a.m. Friday. When the chain broke, Berrios saw him fall over his handlebars and hit his head on the ground. When Berrios approached the man, he was bleeding from the back of his head and shaking. Berrios said he tried to stabilize his head while a few other students who came to help removed his legs from where they were tangled in the bike. Then, Berrios said, the student went limp and was unresponsive. Berrios called 911. University police directed The Daily News to Todd for comment. She said a bike officer was one of the first to appear on the scene. “When I saw him, he went limp, I was thinking the worst,” Berrios said. “You knew this kid was in bad shape ... I hope the best for him.” – EMMA KATE FITTES
