Ball State science students create comic book to promote project.

Grace Bentkowski and John Lynch Reporters hen Patricia Lang, Ball State chemistry professor and director of Ball State’s Indiana Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (IN-LSAMP) project, and her team found a new way to teach science, they took advantage of the opportunity to make something creative — in this case, a comic book.

Ball State’s IN-LSAMP program garnered national recognition for its use of the comic book format, collaborating with the university’s Technical Association of the Graphic Arts (TAGA) to make science more accessible to younger audiences.

IN-LSAMP students, who usually receive mentorship and professional development Science-themed superheroes Blue Atom and Bright Flame, who are featured in the comic, practice through the program, pose in a panel of the book. The comic book is the result of a collaboration between Ball decided to use the program State’s Technical Association of the Graphic Arts and Indiana Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation students.

as an opportunity to try a new way of communicating their message.

“We’re so used to having it, frankly, be real cut and dry format in a journal — all business. That’s the way scientists communicate with each other,” Lang said.

The comic came to fruition when Ball State art professor Hans Kellogg reached out to Lang to ask whether she had a topic his students could use as inspiration for a graphic design project. Kellogg then tasked TAGA with realizing the project.

Jim Workman, managing director of TAGA, said via email the organization is “dedicated to disseminating scientific research and technical innovation in graphic communications and related industries.”

“The Ball State student journal received the publication design award for its ambitious and captivating superhero theme,” Workman said.

“Other than the grand prize, the publication design is probably the toughest award to win because every chapter has its share of talented designers.

In Ball State’s case, the design was executed almost flawlessly.”

Protesters knocked down statues of former Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln in Portland, Oregon Oct. 12.

Though de-escalation training is not a requirement for Indiana police officers, Ball State’s University Police Department (UPD) incorporates tactics into annual trainings.

In September 2020, UPD officers learned de-escalation techniques from the Center for Peace and Conflict Studies.

Jim Duckham, director of public safety, said this training has been a requirement for UPD officers at least since he joined the force in 2014.

“Now, there’s clearly a national push for more training in that area and for officers to respond differently,” he said. “This is the second time we’ve partnered with the Center for Peace and Conflict Studies.”

UPD

Continued from Page 03 Larry Gerstein, director of the Center for Peace and Conflict Studies and professor of psychology, led the instruction for the 2015 and 2020 trainings.

He said the 2015 training was called “conflict prevention and resolution,” while the 2020 training was called “de-escalation.”

Both trainings included lectures and roleplaying exercises, but Gerstein said there were some differences. Parking enforcement officers did not receive training in 2015, and students were not recruited for role-playing in 2020 to have fewer people indoors in accordance with COVID-19 guidelines.

“The first time, students played out different scenarios. Then, the officers responded,” Gerstein said. “It really promoted more mutual understanding between the students and the police officers.”

Though officers didn’t receive feedback from students during last month’s training, Gerstein said he thought the officers were receptive to the roleplaying scripts they read with each other.

“The biggest takeaway was to try to understand the perspective of the people you’re dealing with.

You don’t have to agree with them, but try to understand them,” he said.

Gerstein said the Muncie Police Department asked to receive de-escalation training in early September, and his training team modified the curriculum to suit UPD for Sept. 17 and 24.

“Some people will ask me, ‘What is the Center for Peace and Conflict Studies doing working with the police?’” Gerstein said. “My

Gerstein said he thinks UPD builds relationships effectively with Ball State community members through its community policing model, which “works because there are less unknowns and there is less fear associated with interaction — there’s more trust.”

escalation training once every few years but incorporates techniques into various annual trainings including conflict resolution and crisis intervention. He estimated UPD officers complete about 80 hours of annual training, more than the 24 annual police academy training hours required by the state of Indiana.

“Ball State police have been proactive in this area,” he said. “We’ve been doing it because we think it’s important.”

Duckham said he thought it was important that parking enforcement officers also receive deescalation training along with UPD. “We’re a community-oriented police agency,” he said. “With parking services, it’s the same concept.

They’re dealing with the community every day.”

Parking enforcement officers benefit from deescalation knowledge while on foot patrol and writing parking tickets, Duckham said.

“You can see how someone would be upset about getting a parking ticket,” he said. “Giving our parking enforcement officers a skill set to be able to diffuse or de-escalate that — it’s really helpful.”

In addition to partnering with the Center for Peace and Conflict Studies for de-escalation training, Duckham said UPD works with the Counseling Center for mental health training and the Department of Psychological Science for implicit bias training.

“We’re really fortunate that Ball State has subject matter experts on our campus,” he said.

Melinda Messineo, department chair of psychological science and professor of sociology, instructed a UPD implicit bias training in the fall

2019 semester with the goal of identifying and fighting against microaggressions.

“What dispatchers say becomes an important part of what [officers] think they’re walking into,” she said. “If everybody is sensitive to their potential for bias, it reduces the likelihood of people misinterpreting the situation.”

Messineo said officers were receptive to the examples of microaggressions during the 2019 training and gave positive feedback about the curriculum.

“You can get better at this. This is a process,” she said. “You can’t end implicit bias in a twohour training, but you can’t end implicit bias without starting.”

Messineo said implicit bias training helps officers better connect with the community and advance their community policing model.

“When people trust the officers and feel like the officers want to know them as individuals and not as categories, it makes them more willing to come to them if they have a need and more willing to respect their authority,” she said.

Duckham said the goal of training is to understand Ball State’s community needs. He said the goal of de-escalation training is to calm situations without using physical force.

“Any time you can de-escalate and not have to use any force, that’s a great day,” he said.

“It’s really helpful to learn active listening and paraphrase back. It’s a good skill set in your entire life with people and relationships.”

Different travel restrictions limited visas, which made it even harder for current international students to return to campus.

“There have been travel restrictions, so I think Brazil, China and Iran — they’re not allowing their citizens to enter the United States,” Luff said.

Gilmar Cavalcante da Silva, a music performance major from Brazil, said he was not able to return home during the initial shutdown.

Continued from Page 01 Rebeca Mena, a senior chemistry major involved in the IN-LSAMP program, said via email that tying the design of the characters to scientific concepts was important to the collaboration between the scientific and artistic elements of the project.

She said characters like Lady Helix, whose powers are related to DNA, are based on a specific scientific concept. The superheroes in the comic battle the evil Dr. Hazard and learn about the IN-LSAMP students’ research projects in the meantime.

Mena, who was one of the researchers on the project, said the project required six months to research and then six months to design.

“The greatest outcome for me was unity,” Mena said. “We took two worlds, such as science and art, and put them together. Being recognized nationally is an excellent outcome too.”

Workman added that hundreds of hours of student work go into the design and production of these projects. They are presented to the judges during the opening student session at the TAGA Annual Technical Conference where each student group explains the theme, unique technical aspects, challenges, organization and learning that occurred during the project.

Junior Sterling McIlravy finished 12th at the Old Oakland GCAA Amateur Oct. 12-13.

With Ball State Men’s Golf team competitions on hold until next spring, the Cardinals have taken advantage of any chance to prepare for their season.

The Cardinals have had the luxury of competing individually in the form of weekly qualifiers and weekend invitationals in the absence of a team schedule.

Head coach Mike Fleck has given his players chances to compete outside B a l l State.

Fleck

said the Golf Coaches Association of America has organized individual competitions taking place throughout the United States, mainly consisting of collegiate players, with 45 to 90 participants per event.

Fleck indicated he is happy the Cardinals have been virtually unaffected by the current postponement of fall sports.

“Our team was not broken up a lot,” Fleck said. “We have been very lucky to have face-to-face interaction with one another.”

Ranieri expressed how fortunate he is to compete this fall. Aside from football, players from men’s golf are the only fall athletes gaining a competitive experience right now.

“We are lucky to have opportunities to play outside the collegiate season,” Raneri said. “Before COVID-19, we took a lot for granted. Now, we realize the opportunities we have are limited, and we have to take advantage of them.”

Ranieri said competing individually and taking time off from team competition has given the Cardinals a chance to reflect on their individual game and playing style.

“I think without traveling — just the individual events — we have been able to reset our batteries,” Ranieri said.

Mcllravy, a recent addition to Ball State’s roster, said individual tournaments allow him to be more mentally sharp on the course.

Prior to arriving at Ball State, McIlravy attended Lakes Community College and K i r k w o o d Community College.

“It is easier to play as an individual because there is not as much pressure,” McIlravy said. “You are just out there playing, and you are able to be focused and dialed in.”

Continued from Page 07 Due to COVID-19, players are required to socially distance during their time on the course.

McIlravy said it has been emotionally challenging with his teammates absent from his side.

“Camaraderie has been the biggest difference,” McIlravy said. “You cannot interact with your teammates as you normally would. You do not have teammates around — you cannot celebrate with them.”

Fleck expressed he hopes his players gain a greater perspective on their game during individual matches. McIlravy said he has taken this advice and will implement it in the future.

“I am always trying to represent what God has given me — my talent,” McIlravy said. “If I can go out and win, that is great, but I like to use a mentality that I never lose — I learn.”

Without a regular practice schedule, it can be tough for a coach to finalize a lineup before the season. However, Fleck said the team’s intrasquad qualifiers during the week help establish a depth chart.

Ranieri said the Cardinals’ individual qualifiers typically occur twice per week. The team often goes to Delaware Country Club to play 18 holes.

As each week passes, Ranieri said, the battle for

positions within Ball State’s lineup grows closer to an all-time high.

“We are always competing for something,” Ranieri said. “We have some young, hungry guys who want to move up, and we have some older guys who do not want to give up their spots. It is

The stage is set

Ball State Football releases six-game, conference-only 2020 schedule.

Connor Smith Assistant Sports Editor Twelve days following the Mid-American Conference’s decision to hold a fall football season after initially deciding not to play Aug. 8, Ball State Football announced its 2020 regular season schedule Oct. 7.

Ball State will face all five of its MAC West Division opponents — Central Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Northern Illinois, Toledo and Western Michigan — as well as one MAC East Division foe, Miami (Ohio), to complete its 2020 regular season.

“It’s been awesome to finally get a schedule and know exactly who we’re going to play,” head coach Mike Neu said.

The Cardinals will open their 2020 season Wednesday, Nov. 4 at Miami (Ohio) in the battle for the Red Bird Rivalry Trophy. For the past four seasons, the Cardinals have played the RedHawks to conclude their regular season, giving them a change of pace in their 2020 slate.

“I feel like every time we play [Miami (Ohio)], it’s a hard-fought game,” senior running back Caleb Huntley said. “We’re prepared and ready for it.”

Last season’s meeting between the two teams saw the Cardinals defeat the RedHawks 41-27 at home. Huntley ran for 134 yards and three touchdowns in the team’s season-ending victory, and redshirt senior quarterback Drew Plitt added

317 yards and three scores through the air.

“It’s a rivalry,” Neu said. “We respect [Miami (Ohio)], but at the same time, we’re anxious to get on the field and play against somebody else.”

Following their season-opening meeting against the RedHawks, the Cardinals welcome Eastern Michigan to Scheumann Stadium Wednesday, Nov. 11 for their 2020 home opener. A week later, the Cardinals will host Northern Illinois in the battle for the Bronze Stalk Trophy.

The Cardinals will end their 2020 regular season with three Saturday matchups — Nov. 28 at Toledo, Dec. 5 at Central Michigan and Dec. 12 hosting Western Michigan.

“From a preparation standpoint, now you know, ‘Hey, this is who we are preparing for,’” Neu said.

“We’ve got a lot of work to do between now and then to get ourselves ready to go.”

All 12 MAC teams will play three midweek matchups to begin their conference-only schedule and three Saturday contests to end it. The conference championship is scheduled for Dec. 18 in Detroit.

While a six-game schedule only represents half of what the Cardinals play during a typical season, Huntley said he doesn’t envision many challenges with playing solely against conference opponents.

In 2019, the Cardinals finished 4-2 against their 2020 opponents.

“We got to bounce back from our adversity and

just go along with it,” Huntley said. “Just because it’s a little different doesn’t mean we can’t do what

we need to do — go out there and win.”

Because of local restrictions on gatherings, Ball State will not allow public attendance or tailgating during the 2020 regular season. Players and coaches began undergoing antigen tests for COVID-19 Oct. 5, receiving four tests per week.

While the absence of fans may give Scheumann Stadium a different feel compared to previous seasons, Huntley said he is prepared to adapt and maintain a competitive mindset.

“It’s just going to be like practice to me,” Huntley said. “You work hard in practice — you’re going to work hard in games.”

When it reversed course on its decision not to play, the MAC became the 10th and final Football Bowl Subdivision conference to announce plans for a 2020 fall season. Other fall sports, including women’s volleyball, soccer, field hockey and men’s and women’s cross country, are tentatively scheduled to compete this spring.

“I’m excited that those three games to start the season are all on Wednesday night,” Neu said. “We can get ourselves into that midweek schedule now as we’re in training camp. We’re already shifting our schedule to prepare our bodies to be at full speed and be ready to go.”

Kickoff times for the Cardinals’ six matchups will be announced at a later date.

Kristine Strosser Reporter Ashlyn Marcum, senior nursing major, said one of her favorite memories from tutoring involved a “Jeopardy!” game she created to help her students prepare for their first exam.

“When I first started the session, everybody was dead quiet, not really wanting to participate,” Marcum said. “It got super competitive at the end super quickly … It was a really, really funny moment. After the exam, I got a lot of really good feedback. It was really good for me, especially because it was my first semester doing this.”

Marcum is one of 130 student tutors and supplemental instruction (SI) leaders who assist students in various subjects at the Learning Center. SI leaders design activities and handouts for a core curriculum class they’ve already taken, and they offer study sessions for these classes.

“Obviously, I’m not a professor, I’m not an instructor and I’m still learning as a nursing student myself,” Marcum said. “[SI leaders are] there to help the students along throughout the course. We were kind of course experts back when we took it.”

When Lage hosts office hours and study sessions, she said, she tries to be open and friendly because she never wants anyone she’s tutoring to feel intimidated by her.

“I’m a student just like them, so I want them to feel comfortable coming to me and talking to

me,” Lage said. “Sometimes, I feel like students could be embarrassed. They don’t want to go to their professor if they’re not understanding a concept they think is simple. Sometimes, it might be easier for them to come to an SI leader or a tutor where they feel like it’s a student, [so] they’ve been here, they’ve done that.”

Ella Boardley, pre-medicine and biology major, said as she tutors students in organic chemistry, she doesn’t like to lecture her students. Instead, her tutoring style consists of asking her students questions and encouraging them to work together.

“It’s a very active learning and more like Socratic tutoring,” Boardley said. “I want them to feel more confident in their abilities in organic chemistry. The best way to do that is just have them practice and learn through doing problems.”

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, all study and tutoring sessions are held online through Zoom or WebEx. Due to the online format, senior microbiology major Emily Catania said one of her biggest challenges as an SI leader is how her resources to help students are now limited.

“With SI sessions, I’m only allowed one inperson session a week, and it was pretty difficult to adjust,” Catania said. “When I do have my in-person sessions, I’m used to writing on a whiteboard [and] drawing out diagrams, but with your computer, you can’t do a lot of things that you’re used to doing. You can’t do board work with students because you just don’t have that

available to you.”

Lage said she believes holding study and tutoring sessions online has opened the door for students who cannot come to campus to get the help they need with their classes.

“Now, [students] can just log on their computer,” Lage said. “I think the Learning Center will probably consider doing more Zoom-style tutoring or SI from now on just because it’s really awesome for distance learners and people who might not have the chance to come back to campus.”

SI leaders and tutors receive training once a semester on “Super Sunday” during which they run through simulated SI sessions and activities for the course they are tutoring.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW Tutors and SI leaders help students in subject areas such as astronomy, math, biology, chemistry, music theory, history, nursing, accounting, business and foreign languages.

Supplemental instruction leaders hold sessions two to three times weekly.

Students who wish to become tutors or SIs must have a 3.00 GPA or higher and have an A or B in the course(s) they wish to tutor.

Why do leaves change color?

Throughout the spring and summer months, leaves function as mini factories, manufacturing their own food daily using sunlight and chlorophyll. When the weather turns colder, leaves absorb less sunlight due to shorter hours of daylight, and their food-making process

As a result, the chlorophyll within the leaves breaks down, ridding the leaves of their green color and revealing pigments of yellow and orange that are naturally a part of the leaf.

Tutors and SI leaders also have biweekly meetings to discuss the different activities and practices they’ve implemented in their sessions to reflect on how they’ve worked.

Emily Schmidt, senior biology major, said these meetings are in a collaborative environment where she and other SI leaders work together to figure out what activities will best suit their students. Schmidt said she began working as an SI leader because she loves sharing her knowledge and seeing that moment where students’ understandings “click.”

“I have always loved science — I’ve always been kind of one of those big science nerds who loves watching all of the dorky movies and [doing] trivia where we talk about different cells and molecules,” Schmidt said. “I think students are capable of a lot more than they give themselves credit for. Sometimes, it just takes a little bit of a guiding hand to get them to that point. I really, really would love to be able to help them do that and potentially spark a joy in them that I found in myself.”

Ethan Hetrick, senior biology major, said when he tutors students in Spanish, chemistry, biology, physics and sociology, he enjoys picking apart people’s ways of thinking to better help them

understand a topic.

“I love when there’s a good challenge where I find a student that thinks more outside the box, and as I’m trying to instruct them on how to work out a specific problem contrary to the way I learned it, it’s like a nice puzzle trying to figure out a way to get it to click,” Hetrick said.

“When I see that click in them [understanding what] they really struggled on in class, and it’s like that lightbulb moment — I just love having that happen … It’s just very rewarding to me to help people on that level.”

As Marcum continues to gain experience tutoring nursing students to push herself out of her comfort zone, she said she enjoys being students’ support system, which she didn’t always have as a freshman nursing student.

“It kind of feels like you don’t have a lot of impact, but then you get the feedback from your students,” Marcum said. “We just had our first exam for the SI course that I’ve been teaching. I asked for some feedback [on] what the students liked and what they didn’t like, and they were all like, ‘You are super helpful,’ and ‘You are my savior.’ It was really nice to get that feedback. I do feel like [I’m] making a really good impact and helping facilitate learning within the course.”

10.15.20 Indiana Scones

IF THERE’S A WILL, THERE’S A WAY Molly LaFontaine is a junior mass communications journalism major and writes “Indiana Scones” for The Daily News. Her views do not necessarily reflect those of the newspaper.

College students my age are usually thinking about parties, hanging out with friends or planning their future dream Molly life — I am the complete LaFontaine opposite. I’d rather stay in at Columnist, night with my husband and “Indiana dog and drink a warm mug Scones” of tea. My life has been full of ups and downs, but one thing remains constant: my desire to be happy.

Marrying young filled that desire.

During my junior year of high school, I met the man of my dreams. He was a senior, and neither of us were looking to date — we fell in love when we least expected to.

In August 2018, seven months after our first date, we got into a car accident that changed our view on life forever. My husband, Tyler, only had a few bumps, but he was forced to watch me fight for my life.

I suffered a concussion, six broken ribs, six pelvic fractures and lacerated part of a kidney.

The doctors didn’t know if I was going to survive. I was losing too much blood internally.

I became minute by minute for an entire night,

meaning the doctors had to watch me every minute of the day because they thought I could die at any moment. I spent a week in the hospital and three days in rehab to teach myself how to move my body and do normal daily tasks again.

After that, I was wheelchair bound, unable to walk for three months.

Every day, Tyler was at my bedside. He said he struggled not knowing what the next day was going to bring, but he refused to leave. That’s when I knew he was the one.

During the three months in my wheelchair, I finished my senior year a semester early, still on track to go to Ball State. Tyler drove home from Ball State every weekend to take care of me. We lived for Friday nights when he got home and dreaded Monday mornings when he left to go back to college. From that time on, we decided we would spend the rest of our lives living to the fullest and regretting nothing. We were given a second chance, and we weren’t going to waste a single moment of it.

Tyler got down on one knee February 10, 2019, in the LaFollete parking lot right before we got in the car to go to church.

This wasn’t necessarily a surprise, as we got the ring the same month I got out of my wheelchair. I just didn’t know when he was planning to pop the question.

We moved into a little two-bedroom apartment in Muncie the next semester. After our move, we decided it was the perfect time to welcome

The LaFontaines got married two months earler than they originally planned. KTKOLLECTIONS, PHOTO PROVIDED a puppy into our home. On Nov. 2, 2019, we brought home our 8-week-old Doberman pinscher, Moose.

July 2020 was the anxiously awaited month — the month we got married. We were married July 20 at the end of a fishing pier at Kil-So-Quah State Recreation Area in front of our immediate family. It was perfect and magical, although it wasn’t our original plan.

We planned to get married in September with a huge church wedding, but we didn’t see the point in waiting two more months for a day that would end up being about everyone else.

We wanted a day that was about us, a day that made us happy and was not full of stress. So, we planned our tiny wedding in just two weeks, and it was truly the best day of our lives.

So many people frown upon getting married early, but why wait for what you want when you can have it now? Being married young is the biggest blessing in our eyes. By no means is our marriage and life perfect, but we choose to work on us every day. We get to grow up together, find ourselves together and build a life from scratch that will make us look back and hopefully regret nothing. Love doesn’t have an age. It only requires two people who promise to be best friends and never give up on one another.

A way we keep our bond strong is doing a Bible study every night before bed. Along with our nightly Bible study, we make an effort to do at least one fun thing every day — whether that’s

going on a walk without Moose or cuddling up and watching a movie with him by our side.

Many people think we spend too much time together, but that is just how we like to live.

This doesn’t always mean we are doing things together. Being together most of the time is what’s best for us.

Because of our lifestyle and our goals, we have always dreamed of traveling. This July, we decided again to stop waiting and spontaneously bought our Ram Promaster 2500 high roof 136inch wheelbase. We are currently converting it and will hopefully be finished by the end of October. As a team, we have put in two windows, installed a roof fan, insulation, flooring and walls. Next, we will start the electrical work, make our own cabinets and put the finishing touches in — all while having no experience.

Our plan over the next few years is to move into our van full time and work and attend class remotely while traveling the United States and Canada with our dog. Our goal is to visit the 49 driveable states. Within the States, we hope to visit as many national parks as possible. This has been a dream of ours, and it is finally happening after many hours of hard work — we have been working on converting our van during weekends for about six to eight hours a day.

We have a YouTube page, Tandem Vanlife, where we document our conversion steps and will be adding our traveling adventure videos throughout our journey. We want to document our journey for ourselves but would love to inspire someone else to make their dreams come true too.

For us, marrying young has only fueled our happiness. It might not be for everyone, but I am living my dreams.

STUDENTS Continued from Page 05

Silva is currently a candidate for a Doctor of the Arts degree and receives special funding for his education along with employment opportunities. When the pandemic initially hit, he lost that funding.

“This source of income no longer existed, so I had to contact as many people as I could to get an emergency assistance,” Silva said.

Silva is not the only international student struggling during this pandemic. Deborah Ojo, an emerging media and design graduate student from Nigeria, works as a mentor for student-athletes. She said moving everything online has made mentoring much more difficult.

“You have to just go that extra mile to make sure that they get their work done,” Ojo said.

Ojo also said she is interacting with students less than usual during the pandemic.

Ball State and Indiana University International Enrollment

“I don’t feel exactly community isolated,” Ojo said, “But I’m used to people walking in the corridors outside of your offices or people just chatting in the hallway and stuff like that.”

Senior urban planning major Daniel Grinspan said he feels isolated during the pandemic. Grinspan said he has a class so large it takes place in the Muncie Mall.

“My biggest class that I have is Monday, Wednesday, Friday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.,” Grinspan said. “And it’s actually in the mall for social distancing. So, I drive to the mall Monday, Wednesday, Friday … just to go to class. It’s really weird.”

Grinspan said Iceland, where he is from, still has people who believe the virus isn’t real, despite having 3,460 cases of COVID-19.

“It’s just human nature. Like, people are getting sick of [the coronavirus],” Grinspan said. “People want to go out, people want to stop wearing the mask, people want to party and stuff. It’s not necessarily the States — it’s just human nature at this point.”

Grinspan said he thinks the United States has handled the

pandemic well but believes the lockdown could have been longer.

“I do agree we should have gone at least one more month minimum because that’s what New York state did,” he said. “It was the only state that went into one more month of lockdown, and they literally had the lowest amount of COVID cases in around June, even though it’s New York — super dense and super populated.”

The United States still has some travel restrictions in place, so Silva, Ojo and Grinspan are unsure when they will be able to return home, but they all remain hopeful.

“The future is very uncertain,” Silva said. “But hopefully, immigration- and traveling-wise, it won’t be as serious as it was when the pandemic was declared back in March.”
