After an unprecedented fall semester, Ball State has changed its spring semester schedule.

Paaige Turner is leading the Academic Planning Group task force in its research.

Turner, dean of the College of Communication, Information and Media, said the task force was formed in June and includes faculty from each academic college.

Decisions of Ball State’s peer institutions, including Indiana public universities and universities in the Mid-American Conference, were considered before the task force adapted the spring schedule, Turner said.

“We’re seeing very similar spring schedules from other institutions,” she said. “We would look at other institutions as sort of a fact check to make sure there’s nothing that we’re missing or something we hadn’t considered.”

Turner is confident the spring 2021 semester will include in-person instruction, but she said the Academic Planning Group is prepared to adapt its plans.

“We’ll take things we learned this semester and use them as we’re building the spring semester,” she said. “I’ve been part of this planning process since March … and the amount of work, and thought and consideration that’s gone into this is unfathomable.”

Turner said once students submit course feedback during midterms, the Academic Planning Group will use those responses to

determine how some courses will be delivered and if online instruction will change.

On Sept. 24, Ball State University Provost Susanna Rivera-Mills sent out an email to students regarding the Spring 2021 semester, stating that the start of the semester will be moved to Jan. 19, 2021, and spring break has been canceled to try to keep COVID-19 cases at a minimum.

Rivera-Mills spoke on behalf of the university, understanding that this situation is not ideal, but it is what the university must do to keep students on campus and classes in person.

“I was pretty mad they took away our spring break,” junior Laura Denk said. “I think I’d rather get out a week early than stay home for Christmas a week longer.”

Ethics experts worry about Trump’s debt Revelations from New York Times reporting that President Donald Trump is personally liable for more than $400 million in debt — including more than $300 million in loans that will come due in the next four years — are causing ethics experts to think organizations Trump is indebted to could manipulate him to turn policy decision in their favor.

CELEBRATING NEW TRADITIONS

Ball State plans its first spring Homecoming.

“If we have to go all virtual, we would save money,” Johnson said. “Our goal is to provide many of the traditional events that we have put on

Grace Bentkowski and Mackenzie Rupp Reporters Homecoming Week has been celebrated by American colleges since its start in 1911.

On Aug. 17, the Ball State University Alumni Association officially postponed Homecoming and the week of celebrations that come with it. This year would have been Ball State’s 94th annual Homecoming celebration.

“Our Homecoming celebration is for students, community, alumni, faculty, staff — many different audiences. So, it’s always taken place around football season,” said Michelle Johnson, director of alumni engagement. “We decided as an organization to also wait.”

Johnson said AirJam, the bed races and many other traditional activities are canceled until they can be held in a socially-distanced manner. However, the loss of Homecoming does not necessarily mean a loss of revenue for Ball State. Each Homecoming Week is funded by the amount made from the previous year’s Homecoming Week.

We bond a lot over Homecoming, especially because we just recruited new members. All of the socials we usually have, as well as pairing with the fraternities … We won’t have that [this year].”

is still hoping to hold events in person, it is also preparing for virtual events. The Homecoming Steering Committee consists of eleven students who elect new members each year. An email is sent out to all Ball State students early in the second semester, and anyone who is interested is encouraged to apply.

Kelly Asiala, senior advertising major, is this year’s general chair of the committee. The general chair oversees all aspects of Homecoming, including AirJam, the parade and the royalty. Of all the Homecoming events, Asiala said, she would miss the parade the most.

“It’s a very rewarding moment. It’s very fun,” she said. “It involves alumni, current students and the Muncie community, so it’s a very inclusive

event, and it’s kind of like the culmination of Homecoming Week.”

The postponement is also affecting other student organizations on campus, like Greek Life. Mia Marrero, an executive board member and vice president of intellectual development for Ball State’s Alpha Chi Omega chapter, described Homecoming as an important week for Greek Life to connect with students and staff on campus.

“We bond a lot over Homecoming, especially because we just recruited new members,” Marrero said. “All of the socials we usually have, as well as pairing with the fraternities … We won’t have that [this year].”

Ball State Democrats and Republicans share plans for the upcoming election.

Jaden Hasse Reporter The 2020 presidential election is a little over a month away, and student organizations on campus, such as the Ball State College Democrats and the Ball State College Republicans, are ready to meet

With issues like these, we work to bring about the change we seek by calling our representatives, registering new voters, reaching out to and volunteering for local organizations and more.”

- Griffin Green, Affairs director of the College Democrats

it head-on.

Both student organizations are encouraging students to vote in this year’s presidential election.

“Our current goal is to help promote conservatism on campus and get Republicans elected to local and statewide office in 2020,” said Gaven Schulz, chairman of the Ball State College Republicans.

The College Republicans don’t currently have any events planned, but they do meet every Thursday over Zoom to discuss current issues.

“We talk about all issues at our meeting.

Whatever people want to talk about, whatever people are interested in, that’s what we address,” Schulz said.

On the other side, the College Democrats hold Zoom meetings every Wednesday where they discuss current issues such as the Black Lives Matter movement and the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, which has steered their recent conversations toward women’s rights.

“With issues like these, we work to bring about the change we seek by calling our representatives, registering new voters, reaching out to and volunteering for local organizations and more,”

said Griffin Green, affairs director of the College Democrats, via email.

The College Democrats were recently involved in the protest and voter rally Sept.

26 at University Green and have partnered with the Student Government Association and the College Republicans to register students to vote.

“I believe they should vote for Joe Biden because while he is not as progressive as most of us would like to see, he has morals and values to begin pushing this country forward,” Green said.

The College Republicans advocated for the re-election of President Donald Trump while handing out pocket Constitutions at the Scramble

“Donald Trump has shown how much he cares about the American people,” Schulz said. “He has promoted things such as free speech on campus.

We’ve seen tax cuts and regulations being cut.”

Meanwhile, the College Democrats believe Joe Biden offers more to the position.

“I believe that students should vote for Joe Biden for one specific reason: a chance to fight another day,” Green said. “Trump has made it clear that he is willing to let hundreds of thousands of Americans die in order to enrich himself and his friends.”

HOW TO REGISTER TO VOTE: In Indiana, citizens have a right to vote if they meet all of the following requirements: You are both a U.S. citizen and a resident of Indiana.

You will be at least 18 years of age on or before the next general or municipal election.

You are not currently in prison after being convicted of a crime.

You have lived in the precinct where you vote for at least 30 days prior to the election.

You are registered to vote.

To register to vote, you can go to your local election office, the Department of Motor Vehicles, using the National Mail Voter Registration form. You can also register online. Once registered, the election office will send you your voter registration card, which will list where your polling location is.

People who have registered to vote in previous elections do not have to register again, but they may need to update their address. Students may change their voting precinct to Muncie, if they can prove they’ve lived at their Muncie address — including dormitories — for at least 30 days before Election Day. Indiana also allows out-of-state students to register to vote in a precinct close to campus.

Everyone is only allowed to register to vote in one precinct.

BREAK

Continued from Page 01 Denk said she goes back to her hometown during spring break and works, making extra money without having to worry about school. The weeklong break from school serves as a time for mental rejuvenation for students, whether that be through traveling or returning home.

“I wouldn’t say it’s necessary, but it is enjoyable.

It helps to break up the work,” Denk said.

Denk also said she believes the university has not done enough when it comes to dealing with COVID-19.

“I don’t feel safe on campus. I don’t feel safe in my residence hall. I don’t think the university cares as much as they say they do,” Denk said.

Sophomore theater education major Emma Mikkselson agreed that the week-long break is beneficial and that she uses it to relax and do anything but schoolwork.

“I know right now, I need a break, but we’re not getting one,” Mikkelson said. “I feel like next semester, I’m going to be like, ‘Oh God, I need a break,’ and yet, there we are, trucking along forever.”

Mikkelson said that last year, a group of her friends had gone to New York for spring break, a COVID-19 hotspot at the time, and had come back to school and spent a week with her before being sent home for the remainder of the semester. By canceling spring break, Mikkelson said she feels the university made the right decision because fewer students could potentially be exposed to the virus.

Although this decision may be what is best for keeping COVID-19 case numbers down, Mikkelson said, she doesn’t know if it is what is best for students’ mental health.

“I feel like we’re taking good precautions, but I also feel like it’s too soon to say what will happen,” Mikkelson said. “By the time spring rolls around, I think things might calm down.”

Like Denk and Mikkelson, senior business administration major Isaac Cohen said he does not go on vacation during spring break, but he is not upset about it being canceled. Cohen believes a

Continued from Page 04 Greek Life members aren’t the only students disappointed. Ball State’s seniors are also missing out on their last Homecoming. Sierra Reichelderfer, senior life sciences education major, was always in class during previous bed races, and she was hoping to watch them this year. She said the experience will not be the same if Homecoming is celebrated in the spring.

“That’s not Homecoming.

That’s ‘homeleaving,’” Reichelderfer said. “Just make next fall the best ever … so you have a better experience.”

Freshmen are missing out on more than Homecoming Week celebrations this year. Many freshmen are upset with how the school year is going and feel that many events could still be held safely.

“Honestly, I’m quite relieved from a COVID-19 standpoint, but as a freshman this

longer winter break in place of a spring break will be better for the student body and help decrease COVID-19 cases.

“I usually just go back home to my parents’ house, so I’m not missing out on vacation,” Cohen said. “I am worried about not getting a break just because I use that time as a mental break.”

Cohen agreed with Mikkelson and said he believes it is too early for the university to make a decision because no one knows what the case numbers will

“We’ve only had four weeks to look over cases, so I don’t think there’s a lot to go off of,” he said.

“I think we should’ve waited a few more months when there was more time to analyze the data.”

Senior computer science major Ian Shepard said he was planning on spending time with his family during spring break. While not going on vacation, he said he is worried for what could happen if there isn’t a break in the middle of the spring semester, feeling that students may not have motivation to complete their schoolwork.

“I’ve had many friends who looked forward to spring break as a time to get away,” Shepard said.

“With that taken away, I’m more concerned about the mental health of the student body rather than the physical damages.”

Shepard said it’s hard to say if the university is making the right decision because he isn’t an expert on the matter, but he thinks this decision will help keep cases down. year, it’s all just a big letdown,” freshman secondary English education major Baylee Myers said. “We go away to school to go to football games, meet new people and just be young adults, and it feels as if it’s all taken away. Like I said, since we are in a worldwide pandemic, I defi nitely respect the decisions of Ball State, but it’s all just a big bummer.”

Even though there is a change in tradition, Marrero is trying to look on the bright side.

“I am definitely grateful for the time I had participating in Homecoming events,” Marrero said. “I understand the guidelines, and I would rather people stay safe.”

Johnson sees the situation as an opportunity rather than a setback.

“It’s been a very nerve-wracking year, but we’re excited to potentially put on the first ever spring Homecoming,” Johnson said. “It’ll be a good learning experience for myself, our staff and the Homecoming Steering Committee students.”

Although the Mid-American Conference announced Sept. 25 that the football season

Why was Spring Break 2021 was canceled?

Information and suggestions from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and research from spring 2020 academic task forces contributed to the Academic Planning Group’s proposal to alter the spring 2021 schedule.

To allow students time to quarantine after holiday celebrations and to minimize interaction during the seasonal flu, the Academic Planning Group proposed to eliminate spring break for the 2021 semester.

At the Ball State Board of Trustees meeting Sept.

18, the board passed the Academic Planning Group’s proposal. A survey has already been sent to all current primary instructors asking how administrative staff can support professors during spring 2021 preparation.

The Taskforce on Recovery and the University’s Strategic Transition (TRUST) was consulted in fall 2020 and spring 2021 plans, specializing in logistics involved with in-person instruction, while the Academic Planning Group specialized in course instruction changes.

“I think not allowing any breaks encourages students to stay put on campus, which does help prevent the spread of COVID-19,” he said.

Turner said she is impressed with what faculty and students have been able to accomplish in classes this fall.

“Our ability to be successful in giving our students an on-campus experience, keeping everyone safe and ensuring we’re meeting our student learning outcomes,” she said. “It has impressed [me] by what we have been able to do

within all these circumstances.”

MACTION IS BACK Mid-American Conference to have fall football season, becomes final Football Bowl Subdivision conference to make decision Connor Smith and Ian Hansen Assistant Sports Editor and Sports Editor After Mid-American Conference presidents initially met Sept. 19 to discuss the possibility of a six-to-eightgame fall football season, they did not come to a consensus. However, after nearly a week of discussion, the presidents met again Friday, Sept. 25 and ultimately voted to play a six-game, conferenceonly schedule.

Having not competed in nearly 10 months, head coach Mike Neu

compared Friday’s announcement to Christmas morning.

“I’m just excited,” Neu said. “To be able to do a Zoom call with our football team — even though I wasn’t around to see them in person and give them a hug or a high-five, I could at least look at their eyes and see the excitement and smile in their faces.

I’m just ecstatic.”

T h e season will begin

Wednesday, Nov. 4 with the conference championship game taking place either Dec. 18 or 19.

“Our guys are prepared, and they’re ready to play,” redshirt senior quarterback Drew Plitt said. “If we were playing tomorrow, we’d be ready to play. If we’d be playing four weeks from now, we’d be ready to play. We’re ecstatic to be back.”

According to a statement released Friday, the MAC will implement a COVID-19 testing program for all players beginning Monday, Oct. 5.

Players will be required to undergo four antigen tests each week.

MAC

Continued from Page 07 The statement also confirmed the MAC will join the Big Ten and Pac-12 conferences in not permitting fans to attend games throughout the 2020 regular season. Local public health policies and league protocols will determine the participation of marching bands and cheerleaders.

Before their season’s initial postponement, the Cardinals’ mantra was “Detroit or Bust.” Plitt said that hasn’t changed.

“You can’t lose a game when you’re planning on going to Detroit this year,” Plitt said. “Everybody’s prepared for that, and our mindset is on winning every game and going to Detroit to win a MAC Championship. Nobody has any other goals outside of that — winning a MAC Championship and getting a ring.”

On Aug. 8, the MAC became the first conference to postpone its fall season due to concerns over

COVID-19. Three days later, the Big Ten and Pac12 followed suit, delaying their football seasons until the spring. However, all three conferences have since reversed course. With the MAC’s decision, it became the 10th and final conference in the Football Bowl Subdivision to announce plans to play this fall.

Neu said while playing solely against conference opponents will give his team a sense of familiarity, playing just six games — a small sample size of his team’s normal slate — means each one is going to have a more competitive atmosphere.

“We’ve got to get everybody prepared to play,” Neu said. “That saying about ‘Make sure you’re ready when your numbers are called’ is certainly true considering these circumstances.”

Along with the Big Ten and MAC’s decisions to hold a fall season, Pac-12 presidents voted to have a fall football season Sept. 24, 44 days after postponing its season to the spring. The league will begin its season Nov. 6 with a schedule consisting of seven games per team. The Mountain West also voted to play an eight-game schedule Sept. 24.

The Atlantic Coast Conference, American Athletic Conference, Big 12, Conference-USA, Southeastern Conference and Sun Belt have all played on as scheduled.

Football is currently the only fall sport resuming action throughout MAC schools. Other fall sports, including women’s volleyball, soccer, field hockey and men’s and women’s cross country, are still tentatively scheduled to compete this spring.

While fans and Muncie residents might not be allowed to tailgate and attend the team’s home games, Neu said he hopes the return of Cardinal football will give Ball State a small step toward normalcy.

“There’s so much adversity here as a university, so, hopefully, it’s a positive sign that we’re on the road to recovery, we’re on the road to rebuilding [and] we’re on the road to exciting things ahead,” Neu said. “Hopefully, we can play a small part here and get the university excited and positive.”

‘THE ULTIMATE COMPETITOR’

Following a successful high school career, Qian Magwood is eager to take the next step with Ball State Football.

Connor Smith Assistant Sports Editor Qian Magwood, Ball State freshman wide receiver, woke up to his alarm each day at 5 a.m. throughout high school.

However, it wasn’t a clock ringing or his cell phone buzzing. Instead, it was his mother making sure he was up in time to catch the school bus for another full day of classes, social life and athletics.

Growing up in the Hilltop neighborhood in

I think the thing that makes him different from a lot of people is his competitiveness, attitude and mindset.”

- ALEX BAILEY, Ball State Football assistant coach and recruiting coordinator Columbus, Ohio, Magwood competed in football, basketball and track and field while attending Walnut Ridge High School. However, it wasn’t until halfway through his junior year Magwood knew he wanted to pursue a collegiate football career.

Playing varsity all four years, Magwood led his high school team to an undefeated regular season his senior season while receiving the team’s offensive MVP award. At the same time, Magwood

received offers to compete at the NCAA Division I level from not only Ball State, but Cincinnati, Youngstown State and Miami (Ohio) as well.

It wasn’t an easy decision for Magwood on choosing where to compete. He said it came down to “the last second” before accepting the Cardinals’ offer this past February.

“It was kind of crazy,” Magwood said. “What I was kind of looking for going into the recruiting process was somewhere not too far from home but somewhere away — where I could just have my own little space.”

For Magwood, not only did Ball State provide just that, but developing a positive relationship with the Cardinals’ coaching staff also played a key role in his decision.

“I really trusted the coaching staff, and they never lied to me from day one,” Magwood said.

“They were very consistent throughout their approach. I felt comfortable with this team.”

Finishing his high school career with 1,831 receiving yards — second all time in his school’s history — it was a whole new ball game for Magwood when he first stepped on the field as a member of the cardinal and white. Prior to the Mid-American Conference’s initial postponement of its 2020 football season, Magwood said, he felt nervous yet excited to begin a new chapter of his football career.

“The guys welcomed me in, they meshed with me and I fit in,” Magwood said. “I hang out with them now. They’re my brothers, and I really appreciate that.”

Ball State wide receivers coach/recruiting coordinator Alex Bailey labeled Magwood as “the ultimate competitor.” He joins a wide receiver group that features two other freshmen: Justin Campbell and Austin Hill.

“I think he’s very, very talented,” Bailey said.

Growing up playing multiple sports, freshman wide receiver Qian Magwood runs the ball in 2014 while playing youth football. He continued his football career throughout high school before arriving at Ball State. QIAN MAGWOOD, PHOTO PROVIDED “That’s not hard to see with him playing multiple sports. You turn on his basketball tape, and you’ll fall in love with it. I think the thing that makes him different from a lot of people is his competitiveness, attitude and mindset.”

A unique aspect of Magwood and Bailey’s relationship is they both hail from the same hometown: Columbus, Ohio. Prior to earning his bachelor’s degree from Youngstown State in 2007, Bailey played wide receiver for the Penguins from 2001-03.

Bailey said he and Magwood share a simple goal: to represent their hometown in the best way possible.

“You come from a place where there’s some really, really good players,” Bailey said. “I can relate to him a lot in terms of what he can do and his upbringing.

For me being a coach and for him being a player, you want to represent the people back home.”

When it comes to football, one of Magwood’s biggest role models is his own cousin, Ki-Jana Carter.

A native of Westerville, Ohio, the Cincinnati Bengals drafted Carter No. 1 overall in the 1995 NFL Draft.

After spending four seasons with the Bengals, Carter played with the then-Washington Redskins and New Orleans Saints before retiring in 2004.

VEGAN Continued from Page 09

Amanda Reninger, president of Sea Salt and Cinnamon, said the best and easiest way to invite people into the vegan community is to hand them a cupcake.

“We understand that a vegan/vegetarian lifestyle is not ‘the norm,’ and we are happy to help educate people on what it means and why it isn’t as scary as it sounds,” Reninger said. “We offer plenty of delicious foods that aren’t just ‘rabbit food’ but that are filling and tasty.”

Sea Salt and Cinnamon is an online vegan bakery which uses plant-based milks, dairy-free butter, organic shortening, marshmallows without gelatin and natural cake sugar in its foods.

When Reninger began Sea Salt and Cinnamon in 2014, she said, her husband’s health inspired her. At the time, there weren’t many vegan options available in Muncie, she said, so she began developing her own recipes and teaching herself vegan cooking and baking.

“When we started this journey, it was about our own health and nothing else,” Reninger said. “Now, we understand the impact our food choices have on the environment and the animals in our country’s current food system. We try to live our lives in a way that brings as little harm as possible to the earth we live on and the animals we share it with. Plain and simple.”

Reninger said she doesn’t currently have a brick-and-mortar storefront for Sea Salt and Cinnamon because of the expenses of opening a shop. Instead, she takes orders through farmer’s markets and social media. She also works with

selling her vegan baked goods at IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital’s cafeteria, The Caffeinery and Ball State University Dining Services.

DJ Cleveland, marketing and communications specialist at Ball State University Dining Services,

We understand the impact our food choices have on the environment and the animals in our country’s current food system. We try to live our lives in a way that brings as little harm as possible to the earth we live on and the animals we share it with. ” - AMANDA RENINGER, President of Sea Salt and Cinnamon said Reninger reached out to their team in 2015, and Sea Salt and Cinnamon’s items seemed like a “good fit.”

“At the time, the demand for gluten-free and vegan food was beginning to increase ever more,” Cleveland said. “We offered quite a bit for those diets then, but finding a local business that could help us deliver high-quality desserts was a perfect opportunity.”

Now, University Dining Services offers Sea Salt and Cinnamon at its events.

“Our 2019 inaugural ‘Very Veggie’ event featured vegetarian and vegan dishes from across campus and a vegan cook-off by our chefs where we added the recipe with the most votes to our menus,” Cleveland said. “Sea Salt and Cinnamon showcased an exquisite cupcake display, and one chef’s vegan peanut butter pie recipe is now a daily North Dining Bakery staple.”

Dining Services is currently working with Sea Salt and Cinnamon to offer its pre-packaged goods at North Dining’s allergen-free station.

Cleveland said it’s important for Dining Services to create relationships with local restaurants to give back to the local economy.

“Inclusivity is important to us, and we want Ball State students to have a variety of delicious options no matter their diet,” Cleveland said.

“Expanding our offerings to fit a variety of culinary niches is one way we can impact that.

Another is to be great neighbors within our community, so we are always seeking new partnerships and opportunities to bring local companies’ products to customers on campus.”

When it comes to her baked goods, Reninger said she doesn’t want to only focus on the healthiest choices. Instead, her focus is on offering products that “taste amazing” and don’t bring harm to animals.

“When we started, we knew that we would have to cast a wide net with the variety we offered in order to get a lot of different types of people to try anything with a ‘vegan’ label,” Reninger said. “Some people don’t like cupcakes, but they will try any cookie available to them. Not into donuts? Maybe you’d like to try a cinnamon roll. We knew our products didn’t only have to be ‘just as good’ as their traditional counterparts — they had to be better.”

In addition to catering for Ball State events, Sea Salt and Cinnamon also offers Picnic Boxes with customizable menus.

For a wedding, Sea Salt and Cinnamon included housemade crackers and ranch, a quinoa salad, a Jackfruit Chick’n Salad and a lemon lavender cookie in its Picnic Box. AMANDA RENINGER, PHOTO PROVIDED

HITE’S

Continued from Page 09 Karin Hartwell, a 2018 Ball State alumna and owner of Hite’s Bakery, spends her weekends in her Greenfield, Indiana, home kitchen whipping up homemade cookies, fresh cinnamon rolls and sticky buns to raise money to find a cure for her son’s cancer.

Hartwell’s son, Shawn, was diagnosed with optic nerve glioma, an inoperable brain tumor, when he was 4 months old. Because of his treatments, Hartwell said, she needed to be home with him at all times. As a way to de-stress, Hartwell began baking last April. Because of Shawn’s compromised immune system due to his chemotherapy, Hartwell was isolated from her friends, family and her church, she said, but creating her bakery gave her a place to turn to while everyone was home.

“I’ve seen things that no parent, child or person should have witnessed or had to do,” Hartwell said. “At 4 months old, my son was given the same chemo drug that an adult receives.”

Her son, who is now 2 years old, has poor vision and is in therapy to learn how to use

a cane. Hartwell said she has witnessed his strength and bravery many times as he deals with losing weight and his hair.

“Through the 13-month-long treatment, he always smiled, he rarely cried and had always just been this charismatic child that’s full of life,” Hartwell said. “He will teach you to laugh and love.

He’ll show [you how] you have to keep fighting and enjoy every moment of life.”

Whenever Hartwell bakes from scratch, she brings Shawn and her 10-year-old son, Ki, into the kitchen with her to teach them valuable lessons.

Ki practices his math skills as he’s measuring ingredients, and Shawn loves to scoop, dump and stir ingredients, which helps him with his food aversions from chemotherapy, Hartwell said.

“Though there are tons of learning and therapy involved, there are also tons of messes and laughter,” Hartwell said. “We enjoy the not-so-perfect cookie.”

Because Hartwell operates her bakery online, she offers hand-deliveries and pickup options for her customers, which she advertises through Facebook groups. Hite’s Bakery’s most popular items are Hartwell’s cinnamon rolls and sticky buns.

In Between the Lines

Felony Disenfranchisement Katie Catterall is a sophomore journalism major and writes “In Between the Lines” for The Daily News. Her views do not necessarily reflect those of the newspaper.

As November steadily approaches, so does the 2020 presidential election. This year has been fraught with fear and uncertainty for the future. It has also highlighted some of the major racial issues still present in Katie the United States.

Catterall We have seen white Columnist, supremacists come out of the “In Between woodwork, but we have also the Lines” seen activists come out to fight against this racism. It is not the white supremacists themselves we should be focusing on, but the systemic racism present in our government — specifically felony disenfranchisement.

While I have not experienced this racism personally, seeing people being unjustly punished is enough to make me resent our government. I recognize that I have privilege, and it’s people like me who need to speak up for those who can’t. I will be voting in the November election for the candidate that fights for these minorities.

In many states, those convicted of a felony have their right to vote revoked for life or face many roadblocks to get their constitutional

right back, even after serving their time. This disproportionately affects people of color, who are incarcerated at higher rates than white people in the justice system. By stripping away felons’ right to vote, systemic racism is present because people of colors’ voices are silenced.

Felony disenfranchisement has its own history with the creation of the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments. Birthright citizenship was established for freed and enslaved people, Black males were granted the right to vote and enslaved people were freed. However, slavery was still allowed as a punishment for a crime and was combined with “Black Codes.” Under these laws, African Americans were convicted and leased out to do work as punishment. This provided cheap labor to improve the South’s dwindling economy.

By convicting them of crimes, taking away their right to vote, throwing them in prison and then leasing them out as labor, African Americans became stuck right back in the cycle of slavery.

While things have seemingly improved, the current numbers still do not paint a good picture for minority criminal voting.

As it stands, there are only two states that allow people to vote while in prison: Vermont and Maine.

For those residing in the additional 48 states, their right to vote is temporarily suspended, if not revoked. To add to the injustice, these people are still counted as a part of that district’s population.

This allows for an electoral advantage for those districts — even though these people are not allowed an opportunity to have their voices heard.

2018 convictions through plea bargaining The United States Sentencing Commission reported in 2018 the highest percentage of guilty pleas in federal cases since 2005.

A 2003 study published by The University of Chicago found that the higher the state’s African American population, the more likely the state was to enact strict laws that took away the right to vote from convicted criminals. Not only are these criminals more likely to be a minority group, but many of the convicted criminals are given plea deals offering them a reduced sentence for pleading guilty. This increases the likelihood of the innocent being convicted of a crime they did not commit just to avoid the full punishment they did not deserve, and they still get their constitutional right to vote taken away once out.

Likelihood of different U.S. adults to be on probation or parole Of the population of United States residents on probation or parole, African Americans make up 30% despite only making up 13% of the nation’s overall population.

The obvious racial disparity has always been intertwined in the constitution and laws of the United States. This at its root is systemic racism because losing your voice in government

The United States is among three other democracies whose use of revoking people’s birthright to vote seems to be an outlier in criminal punishment practices around the

world. Countries like South Africa, Canada, Ireland and Spain all allow their prisoners to vote. Once in the system, it can be nearly impossible for felons to vote, with most states extending the voting ban to those on probation and parole. Some states even require more time and additional fees.

Though systemic racism shown through minority voting underrepresentation has been intertwined with our Constitution since the founding fathers’ signatures dried, minorities have recently gained the power to change history as people unify over racial injustice issues. There is hope for change still — as seen in Iowa recently. A recent executive order in the state restored automatic voting rights to those who have served their time, and this includes parole and probation.

Number of people by state affected by executive orders The Sentencing Project shows evidence that 1.4 million people regained the right to vote through executive action and legislation from 1997-2018.

Here are 9 of the 23 states that have created reforms.

In late August, an executive order was issued by Republican Governor Kim Reynolds of Iowa that gave back those with a felony record the right to vote after completing their sentence, and it’s not just Iowa that is changing its tune. California, Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York and Virginia have all expanded voting rights for those convicted of felonies since the 2016 election.

Despite changes being made, there is still work to be done. There are still 34 states where people who are on parole or probation cannot vote as well as 12 states where a felony conviction revokes your right to vote for life. This is primarily affecting people of color. This underrepresentation affects every aspect of people of colors’ voices by revoking their voice in government.

It may seem impossible to fight against this obvious systemic racism. However, there are things you can do to fight against this underrepresentation of people of color in government. Write to your legislators, and urge them to give those convicted of a felony the right to vote. Fight for your fellow human beings. That said, talking about the issue and acknowledging it is just one step in the fight for change — we have to do more.

In order to annihilate bias and extinguish systemic racism and corruption, we need to vote. From local city to federal election, we need to vote in order to root out the officials who are allowing this systemic racism to continue. By electing officials that fight for everyone, only then can we begin to eliminate this blatant corruption — only then can we fight felony disenfranchisement laws and systemic racism.

This isn’t just information to absorb, but a call to action. If you really want to fight for your fellow human beings, root out the people in office that are bringing them down in the first place. Put people in power that will change the system that is allowing this systemic racism to continue.

Stand up in order to make change.

FUTURE

“I remember when [Magwood] was first playing Pee Wee football.

He was like, ‘I want to be like you, cousin Ki-Jana,’” Carter said. “I was like, ‘You can be anything you want — you go out there, and you play for the love of the game.’”

When the MAC announced plans to play a six-game, conferenceonly fall football season Sept. 25, Magwood said, he felt relieved knowing he’ll have a chance to hit the gridiron soon as a member of the Cardinals.

“It felt like a big weight was lifted,” Magwood said. “Coming here with the season getting canceled and people on the team being affected by stuff like that, everything being weird on campus — that was kind of a moment of everything coming and going away.”

Contact Connor Smith with comments at cnsmith@bsu.edu or on Twitter @cnsmith_19.

Continued from Page 08

“I’ve watched a lot of [Carter’s] tapes,” Magwood said. “You could see his speed — I would really try to emulate what he did. I know every aspect of him, but he comes off as a pretty laid-back guy.”

Prior to his NFL experience, Carter played college football while attending Penn State University. He earned the 1995 Rose Bowl MVP award and finished as a Heisman Trophy finalist that same year. When reminiscing on his first season with the Nittany Lions — something Magwood is experiencing now with the Cardinals — Carter said the transition from high school to college can have its growing pains.

“College is a different animal,” Carter said. “I was happy to go to Penn State, but when you get into practice and you’re tired, you want Mama’s cooking or you want to be a little pampered. That’s not there anymore, so it’s somewhat of an adjustment you have to do to yourself to get yourself prepared.”

Similar to Magwood, Carter played basketball and ran track and field prior to transitioning to Penn State. Living in Florida, Carter said he hasn’t had many opportunities to watch Magwood play in person, but the two keep a close relationship.

HITE’S

Continued from Page 11 Elisa Abner-Taschwer, a wine guide at a winery in Indianapolis and one of Hite’s Bakery’s frequent customers, said she found Hartwell on the “Greenfield Gabber” Facebook page after Hartwell posted a picture of her homemade cinnamon rolls.

Despite never meeting Hartwell in person, she said, she is one of Hartwell’s cheerleaders.

“I thought [Hartwell’s cinnamon rolls] looked wonderful, so I ordered [them],” Abner-Taschwer said. “When we went on vacation, I ordered two of the rolls for our house [and] dog sitter.

Now, I get them periodically for birthdays or other celebrations,

Because October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Hartwell is baking special sugar cookies in the shape of cancer ribbons. Ten percent of sales will go to the Brantley Francis Foundation, which helps families and children like hers battling cancer.

For those considering creating a small business for a similar cause, Hartwell said, her biggest piece of advice is to “just do it, and don’t stop.”

“Practice every chance you get, and try new things,” Hartwell said. “Research recipes. I’ve been doing this since I was little and used to sell cheesecakes during the holiday times … You don’t have to be a decorator to bake. My personal motto is, ‘I bake. I don’t decorate.’”
