Taylor Smith Managing Editor What was once an empty patch of dirt now houses more than 16,000 sunflowers, each one with its head turned toward the sun, looking at the bright side — how Garret Conway did last spring. When Conway, senior law and public policy major at Indiana University Bloomington, answered a phone call in March and heard his internship was rescinded, this empty patch of dirt became the only thing keeping him from “twiddling his thumbs” in boredom in the midst of a pandemic. “At

that point, a lot of the internships, especially the legal internships, had already been recruited,” Conway said. “It was harder with COVID-19.” Conway said he was left to his own devices to “fill in the gap” his summer had become, so he turned to his family’s farm — a horse ranch, an empty barn and a wide-open field. While Conway and his family discussed what to do to lift people’s spirits during an unusual summer, he said, the idea of turning their property into a flower farm received a lot of positive feedback from the Cowan community. “Me and my dad were talking about how we could be more self-sustaining here at the farm, and we were just sort of wondering what we could do from here,” Conway said. “[The flowers] brought life back to the barn. It’s a great second life that this barn has.”

Sept. 10: In a campus-wide email, Ball State President Geoffrey Mearns said the commencement ceremony Oct. 10 has been canceled as it is not feasible to hold a gathering of fewer than 250 people. Mearns said he is “cautiously optimistic” to hold a ceremony next semester and welcomes graduated students from the previous two semesters to join.

Sept. 13: Philip Rivers’ 363 passing yards weren’t enough for the Indianapolis Colts as they fell to 0-1 Sunday in a 27-20 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Despite the loss, Rivers’ 363 yards were the most from a Colts’ quarterback since Andrew Luck’s Week 13 performance in 2018. The matchup was one of two Week 1 contests played in front of fans.

Cardinal Music Group promotes and produces Indiana music. John Lynch and Mackenzie Rupp Reporters Even during a pandemic, the show must go on. Pressed In Black, a reggae rock band from Kokomo, Indiana, spent Sunday afternoon in the recording studios of the Music Instruction Building, working with members of Cardinal Music Group (CMG) to record their newest album. “I’ve worked with a ton of people over the years and work with some really great people and work with some really bad people,” lead singer Kit Haymond said. “Fortunately,
everybody up here has been super cool, and they care more about their craft than anything. They just go above and beyond — I’ve never seen people work so hard in my life.” CMG, a student organization of 10 student music producers, videographers and audio engineers, has been producing Indiana-based music since the organization was founded in May, including one physical vinyl and 40 promotional videos on YouTube, all at no cost to the musicians. Adam Fonacier, senior music production major and executive producer of CMG, said that though the work is pro bono, the experience in the audio booth, behind
the camera and during the promotion of the album is essential to becoming a better producer. “I think it helps broaden your perspective of everything that goes into promoting music and just different aspects of music business in general,” he said. Heading into a recording session, Fonacier said, he and his team first select the artist for production by listening to their music and looking through their social media, as the artist’s presentation, dedication to the work and overall sound are important to their viability as recording candidates.

GUIDING A COMMUNITY
Sponsored Projects Administration works to help Ball State find funding for projects. Charles Melton Daily News Editor Ball State’s campus, the Partnership Project, research and community outreach all share one thing in common — the Sponsored Projects Administration (SPA). “I get to see a little bit of what’s happening all over campus,” said Jackie Davis, director of Sponsored Projects Development. Davis, a Ball State alumna with a degree in biology, said up until a few years ago, there was not a degree available for research administration. People who work in SPA have degrees in a variety of fields, such as psychology, accounting and religious studies, she said. “Ball State’s very fortunate to have a central office that went together, and we can help that life cycle kind of seamlessly throughout the office,” Davis said. “You know, we have a lot of expertise in our building and people I work with. I love the work that I do.” SPA works with students, faculty and administrators at Ball State to help them find funding for projects they wish to pursue. Davis said beyond finding funding for these projects, she helps them apply for funding, develop the budget to fit university policy and federal regulations and submit proposals. Generally, these grants come from parties outside of campus, Davis said, in which the funds come through SPA. Funding comes from foundations, corporations, associations and federal sources. The White River Bicentennial Overlook shines in the sun Sept. 16, 2020. The overlook received $11,908 from the Ziegler foundation, said Jackie Davis, director for Sponsored Projects Development.

Ball State’s very fortunate to have a central office that went together, and we can help that life cycle kind of seamlessly throughout the office. You know, we have a lot of expertise in our building and people I work with. I love the work that I do.” - JACKIE DAVIS, Director of Sponsored Projects Development VJ Rubenstein, associate professor of biology at Ball State, is one researcher who has received funding by working with SPA. He said the research he does now could not be done without the funding he has received. Rubenstein said his research focuses on studying enzymes and how they look for proteins that have
become damaged. Currently, he has seven to 10 students working on this project. “Sponsored Projects has been enormously helpful to me since I arrived at Ball State,” he said. Rubenstein added that SPA has helped him identify sources for funding, prepare for the application process and write grant proposals. “What I think I’m good at is writing about the science, and what Sponsored Projects is good at is making sure that you know the other 50 pages of the proposal are completed well,” Rubenstein said. “Things about the university, things about the financial aspect — they make sure that I put together a strong proposal.” In his research on enzymes, he said he has had projects funded by the National Institutes of Health at around $300,000 for three years and smaller projects through the Indiana Academy of Science with $1,000 to $3,000 dollars awarded. “Mainly, all my projects are attacking different angles of [the enzyme] research question,” Davis said. “SPA has helped me find opportunities with different sources to fund the big and small parts of the research.”

SGA DURING COVID-19
Grace McCormick Assistant News Editor
During the February 2020 Ball State Student Government Association (SGA) election season, Bold slate members promised voters they would be the SGA executive board to represent their interests and get things done. Now, their plans have adapted amid the coronavirus pandemic, but SGA vice president Jordyn Blythe said Bold is still prioritizing communication with the student body. “Ensuring that we are representing them to the

best of our ability, that we are listening to their desires [and] needs and making sure that our relationship there is strong is really important,”
Blythe said. “There would be no purpose for our organization without the student body.” Much of SGA’s student body outreach is completed through in-person events such as Dining in the Dark, town halls and senator organizational visits. There is still some opportunity for SGA to talk to the student body in person, including its current project with Ball State Democrats and College Republicans to register first-time voters. Volunteers from the organizations will set up a table at the scramble light various times throughout September in honor of National Voter Registration Day Sept. 22. President Pro Tempore Dylan Lewandowski said he hopes SGA can continue tabling — listening to students’ campus concerns — in person to hear what students want from senators this semester. “Safe tabling will be very much a key tool to our success this semester,” he said. “That is one of the only physical avenues that we can pursue to reach the student body.” Bold is also working to update SGA’s social media pages to reach more students this fall semester, chief administrator Gina Esposito said. “We want to make sure that social presence is there,” she said. “We have a lot of big plans in terms of making access to information and outreach more accessible for students.” Lewandowski said Bold might use social media as a tabling technique to reach out to new students and increase awareness of SGA and its purpose. “Part of that [outreach] will just be strategy because we’re in the same boat as a lot of other groups,” he said. “We’ll see what gets the best response — maybe it’s social media, email or

tabling. We’ll just use trial and error to see what resonates or gets the most results.” With diminished ability to host in-person events, SGA president Connor Sanburn said he hopes to host virtual Zoom town halls to reach more students.
He said Temple Day, Bold’s secretary of diversity, was interested in asking Black Ball State alumni to speak virtually to current students of color using Zoom breakout rooms sometime this fall.

PLATFORM POINTS BOLD MEMBERS SAY ARE COMPLETED OR DEVELOPING Slate members said they have drafted proposals or started conversations for eight of their 11 platform points, one of which Blythe said is already complete.
COMPLETE Pursue intercultural dialogues course for students Blythe said an HONR 199 class discussing microaggressions is offered in the Honors College this semester and spring 2021. Jackson Bartlett is currently teaching the fall 2020 class. Bartlett said the class was developed in partnership with the new Student Anti-Racism and Intersectionality Advisory Council (SAIAC), of which Blythe is a member. The SAIAC was established separately from SGA.
PROPOSAL DRAFTED Explore heated bus stations Esposito said she and Sanburn drafted a proposal describing their vision for heated bus stations on campus that was sent to Facilities Planning and Management administrators Sept. 14.
Free menstrual hygiene products in select buildings Esposito said she hopes to have a plan completed for menstrual products by the end of the fall semester. With help from administrators in facilities planning and management, she wants free menstrual products to last beyond Bold’s year in office.

Increase accessibility to SafeZone training Sanburn said the slate has talked to Kiara John, coordinator of SafeZone training at Ball State’s Counseling Center, about SGA sponsoring some scheduled training in the future. Sanburn said he hopes to have the SafeZone training point completed this semester.

Continued from Page 03 On the production side, he said his own taste in music, particularly in the genres of rhythm and blues, jazz and musicals, has been an influence in how he approaches music production. However, he added that he maintains a neutral view on all music genres when it comes to producing professionally. Fonacier also said his appreciation for music began at a young age, and he soon found an interest in designing music and storytelling. Though Fonaicer is an experienced producer, he has only produced a few of his own original works. “I think a lot of [my music preference] is what inspires my approach to mixing and production in general, taking into account how musicians can interact and how the music changes with how they’re feeling a certain day or how their performance goes,” he said. On Sept. 13, Pressed In Black recorded all eight songs for their fourth album, “Green Coffee,” while shooting the music videos for the songs, which will be released on YouTube. Senior telecommunications major Hunter Schaffer, who was the videographer on the shoot, used a variety of cameras and angles to bring the music videos to life. He said
CMG’s new lighting and recording equipment is to thank for their ability to produce more interesting music videos. “We bought all new camera gear and lighting equipment, and part of my responsibility last year was helping put together that list and making sure that things were up to snuff,” Schaffer said. “A lot of the stuff that we’re using today is actually stuff that we own and specifically had set up for these kinds of scenarios.” Drummer Cole Bettner said the studio space in the Music Instruction Building was the best the band had ever used and was an upgrade over the recording setup in Bettner’s basement they had used for their last album, which Fonacier said was his first experience with the band. “The drummer and I were actually former roommates,” Fonacier said. “Pressed In Black would come and rehearse in our basement, and their music is just so nostalgic for me just because I loved living at that house with them. I saw how they ran rehearsals, and I knew that they took themselves seriously as a band.” “Green Coffee” is set to release sometime in the next semester, during which Fonacier said CMG will be editing and mixing the recordings and music videos as well as promoting the release of the album and its music videos on YouTube.

NEW COACH SAME TEAM Lacy Wood is excited to lead Ball State Softball and remains confident heading into 2021. Connor Smith Assistant Sports Editor
ANOTHER CHANCE Senior infielder Hailey Demnianiuk rounds third base in a game against IUPUI Oct. 4, 2020, at First Merchants Ballpark Complex. Demnianiuk, along with all her returning teammates, was granted an extra year of eligibility due to COVID-19 canceling the Cardinals’ 2020 season. JACOB MUSSELMAN, DN
When COVID-19 forced the cancellation of Mid-American Conference spring sports last March, senior pitcher Alyssa Rothwell said she couldn’t hold back tears. Posting a 7-5 record with a 1.79 ERA through 14 appearances in 2020, Rothwell said she never expected to step on the field again after Ball State Softball’s 2020 regular season abruptly came to a close. That was until Rothwell and four of her teammates were granted an extra year of eligibility this offseason due to the pandemic. “I had to make sure I was staying on top of my training this summer,” Rothwell said. “We weren’t allowed on our field, and gyms weren’t open, but I just had to keep training and stick to how my body was during the season.” Gaining an extra year of eligibility wasn’t the only significant news Rothwell and her teammates faced this past summer. After former head coach Megan Ciolli Bartlett accepted a position as an assistant coach June 26 at Texas, the Cardinals were left without a head coach for
nearly two months. That changed Aug. 24 when Ball State announced the hiring of Lacy Wood as the 10th head coach in program history. Having spent the last five seasons on the coaching staff at Harvard University, the Louisville, Kentucky, native said it was an easy choice on deciding to come to Ball State. “Ball State stands for strong academics and strong athletics,” Wood said. “That in itself draws your attention when a potential job opens up. Being around family and friends consistently is definitely a plus.” Heading into 2021, the Cardinals welcome back seven seniors and three graduate students. Working with secondyear assistant coach Jeremy Manley, Wood said Ball State’s veteran presence boosts her confidence. “They’ve been around a little bit longer, so they know the ropes,” Wood said. “My job is to help give them more tools in their toolbox. It does feel good that they’re going to help take care of the younger girls on the team and help balance everything here at Ball State.” Rothwell praised Wood’s work ethic and organization. “You can tell that she’s very down to business, which I love,” Rothwell said. “She’s so organized, knows what she wants to do, and I can’t imagine how hard it is for her to come in and be a new head coach at a school during a pandemic. I think that’s insanely hard, but she’s been great.”

Continued from Page 07 While a coaching change can bring challenges, it often has its benefits. This was the case for graduate student outfielder Haley Dominique, who was recruited by former head coach Tyra Perry. Prior to Bartlett’s tenure from 2016-20, Perry spent two seasons as head coach of the Cardinals. “There’s always that period of getting to know each player, and I think that’s going to take some time and effort,” Dominique said. “A few of us have been through [a coaching change] before, so we were able to talk through and help our teammates if they needed anything. It was hard, but the show must go on.” Immediately after Wood received the job, she arranged a team-wide Zoom meeting and individual phone calls with each player, which Dominique said were extremely beneficial. “She’s really on top of things,” Dominique said. “I think that’s really important, especially with not getting on the field right now. She’s very organized, and communication is her top priority, so that’s good.” Prior to graduating in 2007, Wood played catcher for Louisville, leading the Cardinals to their first-ever NCAA regional appearance in 2004. She was later inducted into Louisville’s Athletics
Hall of Fame in 2019. When reflecting on her experience with Harvard, Wood emphasized the importance of balancing athletics with academics — something she didn’t completely realize was possible during her playing career. “Working at an institution like Harvard, your eyes are kind of open to seeing the level at which both young women and young men can manage both sides and still compete at a high level,” Wood said. “They’re competing in the classroom, they’re competing for internships and they’re competing on the softball field as well. I think that was probably the biggest lesson I learned and something I’ll take with me everywhere I go.” Although the Cardinals are not scheduled to compete until next winter, Ball State has begun practicing on a weekly basis. Players are currently participating in small-group workouts as well as strength and conditioning sessions. Despite the uncertainty surrounding the pandemic and the state of MAC competition moving forward, Wood said she is confident her athletes will continue to grow and lead in their respective styles. “I’m a firm believer that not all leaders need to lead from the front,” Wood said. “I think my role is to put the athletes in a position where they can all lead for themselves.” Contact Connor Smith with comments at Alyssa Rothwell pitches in the seventh inning Oct. 4, 2019, at First Merchants Ballpark Complex.

Nicole Thomas Lifestyles Editor For Mel Isenbarger, a senior physics and astronomy major, one of the first constellations she learned to locate and identity was Cassiopeia. It remains her favorite constellation, she said, because it reminds her of late-night summertime bonfires and watching meteor showers with her family. Physics graduate student Alec Neal’s passion for the stars and planets began when he received a telescope as a child. His favorite constellation is Orion, he said, because it’s so easy to spot in the sky as three bright stars — Alnitak, Alnilam and Mintaka — comprise Orion’s belt.
My favorite part of these Facebook Live events is the connection. Many people are feeling isolated, so it’s important to connect with one another. These events allow people to ask questions, judgement free, and explore a potentially new subject.” - MEL ISENBARGER, senior physics and astronomy major Now, Isenbarger, Neal and three other Department of Astronomy and Physics students share their interest in astronomy with the Muncie community as members of the Charles W. Brown Planetarium’s Constellation Crew. Every Friday through Facebook Live, the Constellation Crew
explores a new constellation. “Since being closed to in-person shows in March, we really wanted to make sure we were still connecting with the community and putting out quality, informative content,” Isenbarger said. “We wanted to do something a little more informal and fun to make a more personal connection with the community, which I think is really important for everyone in this time.” During each Facebook Live, the Constellation Crew teaches viewers what each constellation looks like, how to find it in the night sky and the historical stories, symbols or meanings behind the name of each one. Neal said they use the software program OBS Studio to pair the Zoom footage with the planetarium’s computers to show simulations of the constellations. “[Astronomy] rules our lives with the concept of time, whether it be a second, day or year,” Isenbarger said. “It provides us with seasons. It has led to inventions that utilize solar power and nuclear power. The constellations themselves were the source of stories passed down through history before movies and books. They give us insight on the past, present and future.” Neal said he believes studying astronomy is unique because of its visual nature, so no scientific experience is required to do research and contribute to the astronomy field. “It’s good to get kids interested [in constellations] because they often have endless wonder and enthusiasm,” Neal said. “Learning new things enriches our lives as individuals.” As the Constellation Crew collaborates to host its Facebook Lives each week, Isenbarger said, it’s “a blast” because studying physics and astronomy at Ball State creates an environment for her to meet people with similar interests.

BLOOMS Continued from Page 01
The Conways’ old horse ranch is now known as Barnside Blooms, and while Conway said he and his family have had gardens in the past, they have been nothing compared to the scale of their garden now. “We had like five tomato plants,” Conway said. “We’re not what you would think of as your typical farm family.” Because the Conways already owned a large enough property to start a flower farm, as well as a barn to work out of, Conway said their overall startup cost was relatively low. The family’s largest investment was in seeds. “It was a privilege for us to be able to do that because not everyone has access to a property already,” Conway said. Since Barnside Bloom’s grand opening Fourth of July weekend, more than 4 million people have seen the colorful flowers Conway and his family have grown. On July 6, Conway posted a clip on his TikTok captioned, “I started a flower farm and these are my ladies.” Since then, Barnside Blooms has been visited by people from Indianapolis to Arkansas. “Our first legitimate customers were three girls that came from Indianapolis because they saw me on TikTok,” Conway said. It took 18 hours for Conway and his flower farm to go viral on the app. Now, he has more than 44,000 TikTok followers to advertise Barnside Blooms to, and the farm only continues to grow.
It’s kind of hard to be in a bad mood when you’re cutting sunflowers.” - GARRETT CONWAY, Senior law and public policy major at Indiana University Bloomington whose family owns Barnside Blooms “The TikTok is successful because of the flower business, and the flower business is successful because of the TikTok,” Conway said. “It’s a positive feedback cycle that, at this point, is almost self-sustaining.” Divine Vasquez-Jones, Ball State junior fashion merchandising and apparel design major and Barnside Blooms employee, said she was one of the farm’s first official visitors besides family, friends and neighbors of the Conways. While searching for a safe activity to enjoy while social distancing this summer, VasquezJones said, she developed a “flower-picking kick” and learned about Barnside Blooms. She visited the flower farm three weeks in a row before the Conways offered her a job. “The flower field was just so beautiful and healthy, and the affordable prices kept me coming back,” Vasquez-Jones said. “I would rather pick

I would rather support a local business than a big corporation.” While Vasquez-Jones has only been working at Barnside Blooms for a little over a month, she said the Conways have already left her in charge of the barn for a day. “I love working there,” Vasquez-Jones said. “It’s just a job that you don’t think of as a job. I get to meet people, talk to them and explain my passion for the flower farm and get them excited about it.” Barnside Blooms is more than just a sunflower patch. The farm offers Barnside Blooms apparel, locally-crafted glass vases, live entertainment and honey harvested on the farm’s property. Vick Conway, Garrett Conway’s father and coowner of Barnside Blooms, collects honey from the farm’s hives as often as possible for visitors to purchase from inside the barn. “We just can’t keep it in stock,” Vick Conway said. Besides a seemingly endless sunflower field and high-demand honey, Barnside Blooms also has patches of zinnias, marigolds, cosmos and cactus blossoms in their flower field of about an acre, according to Garrett Conway’s TikTok profile. But his favorite flower he grows, Conway said, is celosia. “They’re all kinds of neon, fluorescent colors,” he said. “Pink, purple, red, yellow, green … It’s hard for me to describe what they look like.” Visitors have the opportunity to take a bucket and clippers out into the field to create their own bouquet, which is wrapped up at the front counter and tied together in a bow of twine. The price of each bouquet depends on the amount of flowers
and blooms cut. “It’s kind of hard to be in a bad mood when you’re cutting sunflowers,” Conway said. “I think what Barnside Blooms means to the community is something that they can look to and say, ‘We’re just going to get out, we’re going to focus on the positive things in life and have a good time with our family and our loved ones.’” Vasquez-Jones described the barn as “a home away from home.” She said it is a place for her to forget reality and let herself relax. “Barnside Blooms is just a little light to me,” Vasquez-Jones said. “People can get caught up in such dark things in this world, and I just love how positive of an atmosphere the farm is. It’s just that bright light that everyone needs right now.” Garrett Conway said turning his family’s property into a flower farm has not only taught him good work ethic, but reconnected him with his family and the Cowan community “There’s a neighbor who lives about 2 miles down the road from us, and next month, she’ll turn 100,” Conway said. “We took her some flowers one day, and she sent us a thank you card a couple of weeks later. It was just so cool because she knew the varieties of flowers and their Latin names. She was incredibly knowledgeable about gardening, and she was giving us tips and tricks, and I think that, for us, really grounded us.” While the Conways have seen success with Barnside Blooms, running a flower farm doesn’t come easy. Behind the scenes of the company, Conway and his family continue to learn lessons that only help to make Barnside Blooms better. “Not everything is going to be a success right

Continued from Page 09 “We are a close-knit group of students who are used to collaborating together on anything from homework assignments and labs to research,” Isenbarger said. “Science is all about working together and asking the big questions.” The Constellation Crew treats its Facebook Live events as a “conversation rather than a lecture,” Isenbarger said, as members ask questions that viewers reply to in the chat. Isenbarger said the Constellation Crew also discusses current events and discoveries as much as possible to remind viewers that astronomy isn’t just about the past — new discoveries are made every day. “My favorite part of these Facebook Live events is the connection,” Isenbarger said. “It provides a fun environment for learning and conversation,
especially in a time like this. Many people are feeling isolated, so it’s important to connect with one another. These events allow people to ask questions, judgement free, and explore a potentially new subject.” Because astronomy is the oldest and one of the most influential areas of science, Isenbarger said, she believes it’s important for the Muncie community to learn about the night sky and the objects in it. “I wish that more people knew how much [constellations] have changed over time and how subjective they are,” Isenbarger said. “Even today, different cultures have their own sets of constellations all based on the same sky as one another. They are shaped by culture, history, art and religion. Whatever is important to a culture can most likely be found in their constellations, along with a story.” Contact Nicole Thomas with comments nrthomas3@bsu.edu or on Twitter @nicolerthomas22.

FALLING FOR THE SEASON
Fall brings forward the best food, the most beautiful colors and spooky season. Sophie Nulph is a junior journalism major and writes “OpenMinded” for The Daily News. Her views do not necessarily reflect those of the Sophie newspaper. Nulph September Opinion Editor, is flying “Open-Minded” by and taking with it pool days and watermelon harvests — finally welcoming fall back. It may not look like fall, or feel like fall or technically be fall yet, but it’s fall. OK, I celebrate early — but I have good reason to. Fall is the best season. The crunch of leaves under your feet. The breeze brushing your cheeks leaving behind a hint of rose. The feel of tweed and flannel. The smell of apples and rain. The taste of warm apple cider and pumpkinflavored everything. Autumn is the
season of apple picking, orchard pictures, sunflower harvests, pumpkin spice and an entire month dedicated to eating candy and watching movies. The season’s name itself has a satisfying tone to it. Fall not only includes Halloween and Thanksgiving, but it includes Labor Day too. While the holiday is nice now as adults and is traditionally spent on the water for the last day of the lake season, it also represents the back-to-school period. The phrase “back to school” brings memories from my childhood flooding back. Picking out a new backpack — and wearing it around until school started because I was just too excited. Packing my lunch — the only day a year I would bring lunch to school. Filling up my backpack — notecards, check. Pencil pouch, check. Lunchbox, check. I have so many good memories associated with the “back-to-school” period of my life that fall will forever hold a special place in my heart. To
me, this is the first phase of this lovely season. Then, we have Halloween — rather, just the entire month of October. This second phase of fall, to me, includes the spooky season and sweater weather. The pumpkin carving, the apple picking — really, the candy consumption alone should excite you. I’m not talking about costumes and parties, I’m talking about sweets and spooky movies. Not scary, spooky. There’s a difference. Scary movies make you scream, look away, cry or feel nauseous. Spooky movies leave you with a sense of ominous thoughts about the world while closing your eyes that night. Each person has a different spookyto-scary tolerance — mine just happens to be very low. The month also highlights the colder temperatures and welcoming back sweaters and beanies. There is no greater time than when it is finally cold enough to break out the chunky sweaters and cabin socks. October should be cherished
for its beautiful leaves and orchards — that and the decor. I’m not a huge Thanksgiving gal, but Thanksgiving decorations can stay in my house all year long. Pumpkins, gourds and squash on every surface with fake leaves and maple apple something burning on the table — that is my heaven. The thought of a welcome sign that says “trick-or-treat” on one side and “grateful” on the other makes me smile. The third stage of fall is around the time of Thanksgiving — when winter is knocking on the door, the holly jolly Christmas music is seeping into your brain and it is still beautiful to see the frost come and go as the leaves begin to fade. We all may celebrate it differently, and this fall by far is no normal one, but I think we all deserve to find solace in the warmth and bliss of the season this year.

SGA
Continued from Page 05 “I would love to be able to push this idea,” Sanburn said. “This fall, it would definitely have to be virtual, pretty similar to how we’re conducting SGA right now.” The Bold executive slate remains confident they can achieve their platform points, but Esposito said some may be more challenging, including heated bus stations. “Having every bus stop in
the university look the way we envision it to by the end of the school year could be more of a challenging project,” she said. “Since we’re starting so early, making an attempt to create a plan at the very least, we see that being quite successful … It’s just a larger project compared to creating a singular event.” Esposito said she and Sanburn have drafted a proposal for heated bus stations and are prepared to allocate a portion of SGA’s budget toward the point if Ball State Facilities Planning and Management administrators
approve the plan. SGA treasurer Amanda Mustaklem said the lack of in-person events for the fall semester will result in not as many funds being needed to host events. She said Bold is able to work with Elevate’s unused funds from the spring 2020 semester in its budget, which will be approved by senators in a future meeting. “We get to receive last year’s funds that we didn’t get to use due to COVID, so that’s nice,” Mustaklem said. “Our goal is to hopefully have some in-person events coming in the spring,
but as of right now, there are reduced costs due to everything being online in the fall.” With virtual meetings encouraged for all extracurricular activities during the fall semester, Sanburn said some faculty may be able to develop more flexible plans for events SGA will host, giving the Counseling Center partnership event as an example. As of the Sept. 9 senate meeting, the Counseling Center partnership event is planned to take place in person during the spring semester, but Sanburn
said they are prepared to accommodate an online event if necessary. “Depending on where the COVID situation is going to be at in the spring, we may have to put it online,” he said. “Because of the possibility of it being online, there’s a lot more opportunity to invite students in and to get more resources from the Counseling Center.” Blythe said she is grateful
the language used in Bold’s platform points leaves room for adaptation. “When we built this platform, it was with flexibility in mind,” she said. “I do think that is going to end up being a strength because we’re trying to expand and explore, and we were prepared to be flexible.” Contact Grace McCormick with comments at grmccormick@bsu. edu or on Twitter @graceMc564.

PROJECT Continued from Page 04
Kevin Nolan, director and senior archaeologist at Ball State, said his situation is “bizarre” because the Applied Anthropology Laboratories is an independent unit in the College of Sciences and Humanities. There are five professional staff members who are mostly externally funded, Nolan said, so they have to generate projects to fund their salaries through service contracts and grants. To achieve this, they depend
heavily on SPA. Chad Paskiewicz and Augusta Isley, SPA members at Ball State, do “a lot of extra work” to help fit the Applied Anthropology Laboratories into the system Ball State uses, Nolan said. Currently, there are 12 different active funded projects at Applied Anthropology Laboratories, he said. One project from the Center for Library Information Resources, which was funded for $250,000, aims to digitize project records and create a public digital collection online for 120 projects.
Nolan said it can be complicated to keep track of the funding that goes into these projects. Budgets are made for individual projects that define the different kinds of expenses and how much money goes into each category. He said they track student hours, student position rates, how many days each staff member is working on them, how much of their supplies and supply money is being used and how much travel money is being used. While it is exciting to get funding for their projects, Nolan said, once the funding is granted,
the researchers have to look at their schedule to see where they can fit time in against all the other projects. “We’re initially really excited when we do things, and then it’s like, ‘OK, well now how do we make that happen?’” he said. Both Nolan and Rubenstein said their projects would not be possible without the aid of SPA. “They’re the vehicle that enables me to pursue external funding,” Rubenstein said.
