Ball State experiences campus-wide internet outage to block potential intrusion.

F

ourteen hours after campus internet came back from a nearly six-hour outage Feb. 9 — with no more than two tweets communicated from the university — the Ball State community was finally given an explanation to what happened.

Ball State tweeted at about 2:10 p.m. that staff was looking into the internet outage and had no further update on the time of internet restoration. The university tweeted again at 7:45 p.m. that internet access was restored without additional information about the cause of the outage.

It wasn’t until 9:40 a.m. the following morning, Wednesday, Feb. 10, that Loren Malm, vice president for information technology and chief information officer, said the outage was purposeful to protect from a potential security threat.

In an email sent to the entire university, Malm said the university’s technology security infrastructure alerted university officials that there was a potential intrusion, which prompted university officials to shut down the campus-wide internet in an attempt to block the intrusion.

English professor Molly Ferguson said in an email she had no idea there was an internet outage until no one in her 2 p.m.

in-person class could log on to do their work. Ferguson said she did not receive any guidance from the university on how to conduct her class.

“I would have liked to be informed that it was going to be a while before the internet came back so I didn’t just keep trying over and over,” Ferguson said.

Clare Sexton, sophomore fashion merchandising major, was in Bracken Library to meet her Alpha Gamma Delta sorority sisters to give them Bid Day T-shirts when the internet went out.

“I can’t text anyone to tell them that I’m here or update my spreadsheet, so I’m just praying that people know that I’m here,” she said at the time. “I’m kind of just sitting here hoping people come get their shirts.”

Sexton said in an email the following morning that only three people picked up their shirts while she was in the library, but she planned to meet her sorority sisters throughout the rest of the week so everyone else had the opportunity to pick up their shirts before Feb. 14.

Sexton said she began working on assignments again when she returned to her dorm room. She added that none of her professors addressed the Wi-Fi outage or due dates for this week.

Andy Hoffman, senior political science major, was also in Bracken Library working on homework when the internet went out.

“I usually like to come here and study,” he said. “I don’t really like doing work in my apartment because I feel like I’ve been in my apartment too much because of coronavirus.”

Hoffman commuted to campus from the Haven to work on a math assignment and short essay both due that night. Hoffman said he tried to look at the bus app, but with the internet out, it took “forever to load.”

“This is nobody’s fault,” Hoffman said.

“Technological problems just happen, but it really can affect people if the library’s not properly functioning because it’s just easier to study here.”

When the internet stalled, Kara Nahrwold, sophomore social studies education and general history double

I would have liked to be informed that it was going to be a while before the internet came back so I didn’t just keep trying over and over.”

- MOLLY FERGUSON, English professor major, was in her Studebaker West dorm room getting ready to walk to the Letterman Lobby before her 3:30 p.m. history class.

“For this class, some kids Zoom in,” she said in an email the following morning.

“My history class was different to say the least. My professor was not able to pull up the PowerPoint he created because it crashed. He fiddled with his computer for a

good 15 minutes. Those who Zoom were unable to join the class and just assumed that it was canceled.”

Nahrwold said she couldn’t complete any assignments while the internet was out, including a paper that was due at 9 a.m. the morning of Feb. 11. While waiting for the internet to return, her history club played the word-guessing game “Hangman” for an hour at its 6 p.m. meeting.

“I am disappointed and angry that the university did nothing to let the students, or even the faculty for that matter, know what was going on or give an estimated time that the Wi-Fi would be back on,” Nahrwold said. “The least the university could have done is email us after it was over to let everyone know what happened and why it happened.”

Computer science professor Dave Largent said he saw students replying to Ball State’s initial tweet about the internet outage and began replying to try to help students with class assignments.

Ball State Director of Public Safety Jim Duckham said the internet outage had no effect on the University Police Department’s ability to respond to calls and conduct usual operations.

Karen Adkins, senior director of auxiliary services, said the internet outage didn’t affect meal swipes and that dining halls were still able to process meal payments normally.

Mark Pike, pastor at the Ball State Christian Campus House, said there were students working on assignments at the church but not an unusual amount. They also experienced slow internet around 3 p.m.

“Ball State taking out Jamba Juice is my villain origin story.”

This was just one Twitter reaction to Ball State University Dining Services’ decision to end its five-year contract with Jamba Juice.

We were disappointed because that’s a really popular place on campus, but we understood the reason why.”

- KAYLA GALYEN, Sophomore elementary education major and former Jamba Juice employee

Jamba Juice was located in the Atrium along with well-known fast food restaurants Chick-Fil-A and Papa John’s. The smoothie restaurant was closed while students were away for winter break in December 2020.

“The five-year agreement between Ball State University and Jamba Juice was due for renewal,” Karen Adkins, senior director of auxiliary services, said in an email. “Based on declining customer counts and sales, University Dining recommended a non-renewal of the agreement.”

University Dining plans to replace Jamba Juice with the Atrium Cafe & Convenience Store, which will open Feb. 15. The store will allow students to use meal swipes like other dining halls. Adkins said the new store will include fresh fruits and vegetables, grocery items, bottled drinks and snacks.

Adkins said Dining Services understands students may be disappointed by the closing, but she added that the costs of keeping Jamba Juice open would outweigh the revenue. To supplement Jamba Juice’s lack of sales, Adkins said, University Dining would have to raise the costs of all food items to remain self-supporting.

Although several students expressed their disappointment on social media, dining services received few complaints directly.

“University Dining understands that there are customers that preferred Jamba Juice and that it may be disappointing that Jamba Juice has closed,” Adkins said. “University Dining is committed to remaining progressive in meeting our students’ needs.”

Kayla Galyen, sophomore elementary education major and former Jamba Juice employee, said the closing was unexpected.

“Our manager at the Atrium said he didn’t even know about it until Ball State told him over break,” Galyen said. “Everybody that worked there didn’t expect it.”

Galyen said she and her co-workers were upset by the sudden closing.

“We were disappointed because that’s a really popular place on campus,” she said, “but we understood the reason why.”

major, said she only visited Jamba Juice every few weeks but enjoyed the different options it provided.

“I’m kind of a little disappointed because it offered more variety of food choices, like breakfast stuff all day,” Shepherd said. “That was kind of a fun option if you didn’t want a traditional sandwich.”

The new dining location will also include a salad bar, where customers can have their salad custom made.

Jules Ammons, freshman dance and psychology major, started working at the Atrium in December 2020. Ammons said she thinks the Atrium has unhealthy food options and that a salad bar would provide a better variety.

“The only healthy thing in the Atrium is the salads in those coolers and maybe Boar’s Head if you choose the right things,” she said. “A salad bar would be a healthier choice.”

Adkins said Dining Services is excited to open the new convenience store because of what it will offer Ball State students.

“University Dining is committed to remaining progressive in meeting our students’ needs,” she said. “We continuously follow and incorporate national college and university dining best practices and trends.”

BUILDING AN INCLUSIVE FUTURE Faculty and students look forward to improving inclusivity and opening the new Multicultural Center.

Construction continues on the new Multicultural Center Feb. 1, 2021. Bobby Steele, director of the Multicultural Center, said he expects the center to open by the end of the spring semester once construction is completed in March 2021. JADEN WHITEMAN, DN Grace McCormick and Maya Wilkins News Editor and Assistant News Editor When Keisha Warren-Gordon, associate professor of criminal justice and criminology, was a Ball State undergraduate student from 1992-95, the Multicultural Center was about 20 years old.

The center was called the Special Programs House, which opened in the 1970s to serve Black students.

Warren-Gordon, who is also the co-director of the African American studies program, remembers meeting classmates at the Multicultural Center from her time as a student. She returned to Ball State as a faculty member in 2007.

“I think that the university has made great strides in providing opportunities for inclusion of students of color — not just Black students, but for other races and ethnicities,” she said. “I think one area is in the development and relaunch of the African American studies program. I’m very proud of the support that the university has put behind us.”

Warren-Gordon said Ball State didn’t have any courses designed specifically for African American studies when she took over the program in 2019.

The program now has three courses, and WarrenGordon said faculty are working to integrate a class into the University Core Curriculum.

“Having the opportunity to broaden the

population of students who can take those courses would be another step forward,” she said. “It’s always about moving forward and what our students are saying that they want.”

To make Ball State’s campus more inclusive and welcoming, Marsha McGriff, associate vice president for inclusive excellence, developed Ball State’s first inclusive excellence strategic plan in 2019. McGriff said university staff had already hosted Beneficence Dialogues and developed goals for inclusivity before she led the development of the formal plan.

The Inclusive Excellence Plan developed with input from the President’s Advisory Council on Inclusive Excellence and other organizations on campus, McGriff said.

Eventually having each college within the university create its own inclusive excellence plan is something McGriff said she is proud of.

“The fact that everyone recognizes the importance of inclusive excellence here at Ball State is extremely powerful,” she said. “I think inclusive excellence is important to the Ball State community because it allows faculty, staff and students to feel as if they are welcomed and belong here. It recognizes that every member of the community has something to offer and something to teach us.”

McGriff said the inclusive excellence plan is just one part of Ball State’s goal to create an inclusive culture on campus. The new Multicultural Center aims to welcome and support students as they learn about diversity.

Bobby Steele, director of the Multicultural Center, said its new home, built to the east of Bracken Library, will be more accessible to students.

“The new facility further demonstrates a commitment to diversity and inclusion,” Steele said. “The new facility will allow for the expansion and development of programs and services that support a diverse student body.”

Steele said his favorite memories of working in the Multicultural Center include getting to interact with students who visit the facility, which he hopes he will be able to do more of in the new building.

“The Multicultural Center will continue to host programs and initiatives that support historically marginalized student populations as well as provide educational opportunities for the Ball State community to learn about diversity, equity and inclusion,” he said.

Members of the Black Student Association (BSA) are also excited for the opening of the new Multicultural Center and believe it will be like “a second home.”

FROM ICE TO HARDWOOD Ben Hendriks traded hockey skates for basketball shoes before arriving at Ball State.

Ball State finishes 7th out of 12 teams Junior Hadley Moritz put together her best career 54-hole score while freshman Kiah Parrott led the Cardinals in the Mid-American Challenge’s final round Tuesday afternoon. Moritz finished in the top 10 with consecutive underpar rounds of 70 and 71 Monday afternoon. She closed the entire invitational with a score of 74.

Connor Smith Assistant Sports Editor “Kssh, kssh, kssh. Thwack! Ping!”

The sounds of skates persist as the puck glides across the ice. Sticks clash before a player touches the puck and fires a pass to another. He effortlessly releases a shot that hits the crossbar and finds the back of the net.

“Thump, thump. Squeak! Squeak! Swish!”

A player dribbles the basketball up the court. His shoes collide with hardwood, and he releases a chest pass to his teammate, who then perfectly sails a 3-pointer that finds the hoop and its netting.

These were the sounds and scenes of Ball State sophomore center Ben Hendriks’ childhood. He grew up in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, a little more than 17 miles outside of Toronto, and played both ice hockey and basketball until he was 12 years old.

Hendriks’ parents, Rob and Leslie Hendriks, both played basketball through college, but they made him pick up ice hockey because no one in his family had ever played the sport. He first put on skates when he was just 18 months old.

“I ended up being good at it for quite a few years,” Ben Hendriks said. “It was sort of like ‘a first sport is your favorite’ type of thing. I kept up with it for a long, long time, and I fell in love with it.”

During the winter months, Hendriks would walk over to a frozen pond blocks away from his house and play with his friends while his parents watched him in the freezing cold. He also spent numerous evenings cheering on his favorite team, the Montreal Canadiens.

Hendriks vividly remembers his morning routine as a young child — waking up before sunrise, arriving at the rink for 5:30 a.m. practice, lacing up his skates and participating in drills with his teammates. Immediately after hockey practice, he would quickly put aside his equipment and head straight for the basketball court.

However, as much as Hendriks loved hockey, his parents wanted him to pursue basketball a little more seriously. They felt it better suited his size.

“Hockey was his commitment,” Leslie Hendriks said. “Hockey was his love and passion, but we felt he needed to be exposed to other sports as well. Basketball seemed to be the natural one with our background in the sport.”

When playing hockey, Ben Hendriks said, he was nearly a foot taller than some of his teammates and didn’t want to risk injuring his knees. He made the decision to purely focus on basketball right before his teenage years.

“I was basically just looking out for my future and looking out for my knees,” Hendriks said. “My parents, obviously having basketball backgrounds, came together and said, ‘I think basketball might be a better opportunity for you.’ In hockey, you’re not supposed to be as tall as I am. In basketball, you’re meant to be a lot taller and a lot bigger.”

Hendriks spent his final three years of high school playing for Orangeville Prep of the Athlete Institute. He said he had played in Indiana a few times but never had Ball State on his radar. That changed when he received a phone call from Ball State head coach James Whitford right before his senior year.

Whitford was evaluating a handful of players following a youth tournament, and Hendriks was coming off of an elbow injury.

Whitford took a chance on Hendriks based on his all-around potential.

“You could tell he had a really good chance to be a good player,” Whitford said. “We watched a few games, and we went in on him right away. It was a process all through the fall to try to get him, but I just really connected with Ben and his family. I think we really shared a lot of similar values.”

Because Hendriks’ parents were familiar with the culture of basketball and the travel it can require, Leslie Hendriks said, they

knew their son would probably attend an American university. While it was a nerve-wracking moment crossing the border and making the trip down to Muncie, she said, she felt reassured with the support system Ball State provided.

“Was it scary when we dropped him off in residence and turned away? Yes, absolutely, but we felt we were very comfortable with coach Whitford,” she said.

Ben Hendriks has appeared in 14 games so far in his second season as a Cardinal, and while Whitford said he has plenty of room to improve, he praised his overall versatility.

“He runs like a deer,” Whitford said. “He’s a great athlete for a big guy, and he’s got great hands — he catches everything. He’s really good on offense, and he’s an elite pick-and-roll player. He can roll it to the rim and finish, and he’s not that far away from also being able to pop in and shoot threes.”

Hendriks said he sees parallels between hockey and basketball, pointing to his involvement in the former in helping him develop in the latter.

“Hockey definitely helped me out with hand-eye coordination,” Hendriks said. “With my hands and feet, skates take a little bit to get used to and having to do different maneuvers we did on the ice.

Everybody has their own opinion on it, but I definitely think that helped me out with my ability to move much faster and keep my speed.”

Although Hendriks said he wants to keep playing basketball after college, his Canadian roots and the countless trips he made to his local rink throughout his childhood resonate with him as he continues his Cardinal career.

Establishing his presence Joey Garberick believes he is destined for improvement despite his historic accolades early in his career.

Charleston Bowles Reporter Athletic debuts can be nerve-wracking for college freshmen because of the pressure that comes with performing at a high level.

That narrative was never the case for Ball State freshman swimmer Joey Garberick.

Garberick made history in his first-ever race as a Cardinal. In the 100-yard breaststroke against Eastern Illinois Nov. 6, 2020, he set a Lewellen Aquatic Center record with a time of 56.53. He built on that performance in the Butler Invitational Jan. 31, clocking a time of 55.19 in the same event — the second-fastest time in program history.

Garberick’s performance earned him Mid-American Conference Men’s Swimmer of the Week honors Feb. 3. Amid all the success, though, Garberick has reflected on the start of his collegiate career in a humble manner.

“For me, it’s all just a part of the process,” Garberick said. “All the awards and records are nice, but we have work to do.”

Garberick began swimming competitively as a 9-year-old and later participated on his team at Northridge High School. The program collected two conference championships and two sectional titles during his tenure. He said these experiences gave him the foundation to succeed at the collegiate level, and he sees similarities between his high school environment and that of Ball State.

Ball State head coach J. Agnew said he saw program-building traits in Garberick when he recruited him. While scouting a tournament, he immediately noticed Garberick’s presence and became impressed with his versatility. He liked what he saw enough to reach out and bring him to Ball State.

One specific story comes to Agnew’s mind when he reflects on Garberick’s mentality. During the preseason, Agnew called a

voluntary workout for a Wednesday, and Garberick was in attendance.

Agnew said he was impressed by the turnout despite some swimmers trickling in throughout the practice. Garberick then turned to Agnew and said, “It’s the only way we’re going to get better.”

“Everybody kind of heard that,” Agnew said. “They just took notice, and even the upperclassmen were like, ‘OK, this guy is serious about what he’s doing.’ I just think it set a tone that he’s pretty fearless. His goals are high, our team goals are high, but it’s pretty infectious.”

Along with Garberick’s competitive drive, Agnew praised Ball State assistant coach Chris Bals in developing his young collegiate career. Bals swam at Purdue University under Agnew’s leadership and competed in the breaststroke event. “[Bals] was a really good breaststroker in college, and those two have really dug into a lot of their details together,” Agnew said. “He should be credited for a lot of what him and Joey are doing.”

Agnew said Garberick’s strong start is just the beginning of his career, but he knows his ceiling and potential are through the roof.

“Despite the early success, we both know that there’s a long road to go, and this is a good step along the way,” Agnew said. “Both of us envisioned him reaching the highest level and would love to see that guy racing at the NCAA Championship level and making an impact.”

Garberick said he is enjoying his individual success and credits his teammates for helping him reach new heights. He believes the future is bright for both himself and his team.

“It’s hard to imagine doing anything without the people I’m with every single day,” Garberick said. “I’m very grateful to a lot of the people that have helped me get here. All the coaching, all the team — everyone has been very supportive.”

dates forever. More and more individuals are pulled into the dopamine and adrenaline that comes with creating an online dating profile.

Here is a deep dive of what the current state of online dating looks like and how it has changed since the presence of COVID-19 and the implementation of a quarantine in March 2020.

How online dating shaped certain parts of our culture

Data from a research survey conducted by a hired firm for SKYN and other sources found how various parts of romantic culture have changed due to online dating and the presence of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In America, men lie most about their age, height and income on their online dating profile, and women lie most about their weight, physical build and age.

Continued from Page 09 Nicole Thomas Lifestyles Editor “‘You make me feel so empowered.’”

It’s rewarding every time Brittany Scott hears this phrase from one of her clients after a workout to rebuild connections between their minds and bodies.

“There’s a lot of mom guilt about spending time or money on themselves,” Scott said. “They’d rather spend it on their kids. They’d rather spend it on things they think they need in their home.

“One thing I like to tell them is the better you take care of yourself, the better you can take care of those around you. The healthier you are and the better that you feel, the more you’ll be able to be present with your kids and the more you’ll be able to play with your kids without being exhausted and tired all the time.”

Growing up as the daughter of a college basketball coach, Scott said, sports were always a big part of her life, as she played soccer, basketball and volleyball throughout high school and college. After earning her education degree in 2011 at Northland International University in northern Wisconsin, she taught middle school history at Shiloh Hills Christian School in Georgia. During this time, she also coached Amateur Athletic Union basketball in Atlanta, where she discovered her passion for coaching ran deeper than what she had for teaching.

So, Scott became certified as a strength and conditioning specialist through the National Strength and Conditioning Association. Because she intended to work with female athletes, Scott took a continuing education course on pregnancy and postpartum. Even as a female athlete herself, she said, she was surprised with how much she

didn’t know about how pregnancy affects fitness.

To make the valuable information she learned in her course accessible to all women, Scott pivoted her career and became certified in pregnancy and postpartum fitness. Since moving to Muncie in 2020, Scott now offers fitness programming through her business, Mom Gets Moxie, for women who are pregnant or postpartum.

With Mom Gets Moxie, Scott does twice-aweek, hour-long, in-home consultations because “every mom is different, and, sometimes, they’re not comfortable going into a gym setting.” She also takes into consideration her clients’ fitness level and pregnancy and postpartum experiences, she said, as some moms have more traumatic deliveries than others.

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, Scott also sends workouts to her clients, and she meets with them virtually so she can coach them through their workout and see if they’re doing the exercises correctly.

“As a female athlete my whole life, I was like, ‘If I don’t know this, then other women don’t know this either,’” Scott said. “Moms have this idea that if their youngest is older than 3, they’re not postpartum anymore, and it’s not true. Once you’ve had a baby, you’re postpartum forever. I’ve seen stuff that I do help women in their 60s that just

The better you take care of yourself, the better you can take care of those around you.”

- BRITTANY SCOTT, Pregnant and postpartum fitness coach never knew what had happened to their bodies.”

When Scott first came to Muncie with Mom Gets Moxie six months ago, one of the first connections she made was with Brittney Russell, a Muncie-based personal trainer. Russell was looking for another personal trainer, and when Scott started taking on a few of Russell’s clients, Russell said, she was impressed with how incredibly knowledgeable Scott was.

“She truly lives the lifestyle of a trainer and a coach — she walks the walk,” Russell said.

“She’s incredibly sweet, very caring. You can tell she’s just a very genuine person, and that’s very important when you’re working with clients, especially with such an intimate thing because, as a coach, our clients have to really trust us.”

Scott helps her clients practice their breathwork that connects them to their pelvic floor so they can strengthen their pelvic muscles, which are weakened after delivering a child. Unless women are intentional about reestablishing and strengthening these muscles, Scott said, they may end up with low back pain, incontinence or feeling like they have a weak core in general.

“One of my favorite parts of being a coach is seeing women make connections between their mind and their body,” Scott said. “Sometimes, I’ll coach them through a move that connects them to a muscle that they have not felt for a long time, and you can see it on their face, and it’s like an ‘aha’ moment.

THE CREATION OF HER BUSINESS On Brittany Scott’s Mom Gets Moxie Instagram account, she posts free fitness information for her followers, including workouts, advice and articles, to help women make informed decisions when it comes to their health and fitness.

“They start making progress really quickly, and their bodies see body changes. They see an improvement in their quality of life. It’s just so fun to see how something as simple as fitness can have an impact on a lot of areas — not just your physical health, but your mental health as well.

That’s really fun to see moms thrive once they start taking care of themselves physically.”

During Scott’s eight-week postpartum course for her clients, she starts with foundational movements like squatting, pushing and pulling. These are movements her clients do hundreds of times a day, Scott said, when they pick up their babies from their crib or squat to pick up toys off the floor.

“I want women to feel empowered about what’s going on in their bodies,” Scott said. “I have one client in particular who I didn’t even start working with until she was well into her third trimester. I worked with her for about three-and-a-half weeks.

She texted me shortly after her birth and said, ‘It was night and day difference between my first birth when I didn’t work with you and the second birth when I did work with you.’ She felt much more prepared. She said she didn’t feel so much like she got hit by a truck. She could get up and move a lot quicker after this delivery.”

Because Muncie is a smaller city, Russell said, people typically must drive to Indianapolis for specialty programs. So, as a mother herself, she believes what Scott is offering will be beneficial to those in the Muncie community who are pregnant or recovering from their pregnancy.

After her second child, Russell said, she had a bladder lift, which was hard to recover from and inconvenient when she had to take care of her children. Because her doctors and nurses never told her about pelvic floor issues, she didn’t know she wasn’t supposed to lift anything over 60 pounds when she was working out.

“I could have gone through a program like [Scott’s], potentially avoided the surgery and learned how to strengthen my pelvic floor,” Russell said. “[I could have] fixed some of these issues without having to spend the money and time recovering from surgery — all of that just to

then turn around and have it fail because of how I work out. Not enough women I know understand the benefit of educating women more on what [Scott] does and how it’s helpful.”

One of Scott’s main goals with her postpartum fitness program is to help her clients heal and return to fitness activities they enjoyed, like Zumba and yoga, but weren’t able to because of the trauma they experienced after childbirth.

“Women — moms in particular — tend to be very self-conscious about their bodies because their body changes so much,” Scott said. “They don’t understand what’s going on. They don’t understand why they feel the way they feel, and they feel embarrassed to reach out and ask for help.

“I have seen and heard it all, so nothing will surprise me. Nothing will take me back. I want women to feel safe and not embarrassed to reach out to me to get help because they don’t have to live with pain. They don’t have to live with a body they don’t enjoy. Overcoming that embarrassment and that fear is the biggest step. If they can do that, then we can set them on a really good course for a successful return to fitness.”

This is the Shwe

Make

spectacles great again

The glasses trope turns a blind eye to true beauty.

KAMRYN TOMLINSON, DN; JADEN WHITEMAN, DN ILLUSTRATION

ON BYTEBSU.COM: ‘DARE TO SPEAK’ TRANSLATES SOCIAL JUSTICE INTO ART

Shwetha Sundarrajan is a senior journalism major and writes “This is the Shwe” for The Daily News. Her views do not necessarily reflect those of the newspaper.

Imagine this: You’re the shy girl sitting in the back of the classroom — silently doodling in the margins of your notebook. No one has ever noticed you, and they never will.

Shwetha That is, not until those chunky glasses come off.

Sundarrajan The teacher calls you to the front of the class to do a math problem, and you find that Columnist, everything is blurry because your glasses are “This is the dirty. As you take them off to clean them, the Shwe” entire class gasps. Students start murmuring, and tension spikes in your chest. You can’t see anyone’s face because your prescription is so bad.

Why are they whispering? Your mind starts racing as you try to figure out what happened. Is it a stain on your shirt? Is it that pimple that never goes away? Suddenly, a boy blurts out, “The shy girl is hot without her glasses on.”

Record scratch. Freeze frame. “Yep, that’s me.” You’re probably wondering why I’ve brought up one of the iconic scenes in most high school movies. Allow me to explain.

The overdone trope of a woman getting a grand makeover to spark a man’s interest has always been a staple in coming-ofage films, rom-coms and every other genre of film you could think of because, of course, a woman’s discovery of contact lenses or eyeliner is the saving grace for her femininity.

If you take the glasses trope specifically, one could argue it’s ableist. Only those with a lower prescription could fashionably whip off their glasses and be able to walk around without bumping into a table corner every five minutes. If anything, the whole “glasses-make-you-look-ugly” concept sounds like a marketing ploy for contact lenses & LASIK surgery.

So, why can’t glasses be attractive? I mean, if Ben Franklin could rock them, so can anyone else. However, according to the everlasting glasses stereotype, more commonly called the “nerd stereotype,” spectacled people are less attractive and more intelligent than those who don’t wear glasses. Now, you may be thinking, “Is there any reasoning to this stereotype, or are people being judgemental again?”

Eyes are an essential and informative part of the human face, which is why they are commonly called the “windows to the soul.” Because glasses change the way eyes look, it affects and impedes quick discrimination and recognition of faces. However, the type of frames also makes a difference in attractiveness. According to a 2011 study done by University of Vienna psychologist Helmut Leder and his colleagues, those wearing rimless glasses are seen as more attractive because it doesn’t obstruct the eyes as full-framed glasses do. Not to disappoint anyone that’s rocking the full frames, though — your frames make you look more distinctive, intelligent and successful.

Forget the science for a second. The entire trope of spectacled women removing their glasses to become desirable is shallow in itself. In movies such as “The Princess Diaries” and “Miss Congeniality,” the female characters go through a transformation to become more attractive. Prominently, they lose their glasses because who wants the nerdy girl, am I right? These transformative scenes suggest that the smart, capable girl hasn’t fulfilled her role as a woman because she isn’t attractive by conventional means, thus forcing her to go through a completely unnecessary metamorphosis to appeal to the masses in which she’s rewarded with a man finally realizing her beauty and falling in love with her.

Perhaps, it is the man who needs glasses because beauty comes from within, not from the frames.

WI-FI

Continued from Page 04 “I do not know the reason for the outage, but my strong suspicion is that it was totally out of Ball State’s control,” Largent said in an email.

Largent said he noticed many students were trying to access Canvas via my.bsu.edu, which was down for all students during the oncampus internet outage.

Largent began replying to students under Ball State’s tweet with a link to the Canvas website for them to still access their assignments if they used a hotspot. He said he noticed there were a lot of people who clicked on the link he provided on Twitter.

How many steps from no Wi-Fi to Wi-Fi? It’s a half-mile walk from Bracken Library to Brothers Bar & Grill, or about 920 steps.

The Christian Campus House is also about a half-mile from Bracken Library, where Pastor Mark Pike said internet was slow but never down completely.

CENTER Continued from Page 06

“The diversity of what this center offers is amazing,” Sydnee Cummings, junior chemistry major and BSA secretary, said in an email. “There are so many ways to always get involved on campus, and the Multicultural Center provides students and staff with the opportunities.”

Cummings said she hopes BSA’s members will take advantage of all that the Multicultural Center has to offer, including the library, computer lab and multipurpose room.

“With the Multicultural Center resources, we can help create an inclusive culture on campus for our current and future members,” Cummings said.

The Latinx Student Union (LSU) is looking forward to what the Multicultural Center has to offer and how close it will be for students on campus to access. LSU plans on holding its meetings in the Multicultural Center when it opens.

“Our meetings are going to be closer to a lot of the dorms, and that would help with attendance since a lot of people can’t make it when it’s far from their dorm,” said Abril Castaneda, junior public relations major and LSU president.

The new Multicultural Center is expected to complete construction by the end of March 2021 and officially open later this semester.

Warren-Gordon said she commends university administrators for developing accessible student spaces and promoting inclusive excellence on campus.

“You have to understand that it can’t just be about the month of February — it has to be about lifelong, year-long learning,” she said. “It’s important for the university to be constantly promoting inclusive excellence, and offering tools for instructors to use and offering spaces for students — like the new Multicultural Center — to learn, process and be together.”

Largent also mentioned he did not adjust any of the deadlines for assignments in his classes because the next assignments’ due dates were Wednesday afternoon and night. He sent a message to his students providing them with a link to Canvas if they were able to access the internet.

Regarding guidance given to faculty on adjusting deadlines for the outage, Kathy Wolf, vice president for marketing and communications, said in an email at 7 p.m. Feb. 10 that the university’s faculty “have the flexibility to make adjustments as they deem necessary when unexpected events occur.”

“I mentioned that using their cell phone as a hotspot might be an option,” Largent said. “I also offered to provide direct URLs to other BSU services, if they needed them. I did not receive any requests.”

Largent said he wishes the university had provided students and staff with a status report in the middle of the outage, even if it was just that it was working to resolve the issue. Though he did not think the university failed to meet the needs of students, he felt he was filling a void left by their lack of response during the outage.

Malm sent an email on Feb. 10 asking students, faculty and staff to change their mybsu passwords as a precautionary measure, stating that all users will be required to change their password in the next 48 hours.

“After a thorough review, we have no evidence that any personally identifiable information was compromised,” Malm said in the email. “We are continuing to work with internal and external experts to evaluate that our preliminary assessment of the situation is accurate.”

English professor Cathy Day said she didn’t hear from the university about the internet outage until she received the email

WALKING IN A WINTER WONDERLAND

asking her to change her password.

“I had no idea about the internet outage until I woke up this morning and saw my colleagues talking about it on social media,” Day said via email.

Day said she teaches an online asynchronous class and didn’t have any assignments due yesterday, so she didn’t have to deal with any situations related to the outage. She added that she did not receive any messages from students about the outage that night.

“It probably would have been good to use the university’s crisis communication system to let people know that this was happening,” Day said, “but if we didn’t have internet, how do we use this system?”
