Muncie | History • City incorporated: 1865 • Population: 67,430 • Delaware County population: 118,769
Ball State | History Ball State’s tradition of innovation and entrepreneurship is rooted in the late 19th century, when Muncie business leaders envisioned a local college to help boost the city’s development. Among the visionaries were Frank C. Ball and his brothers, young New York industrialists who moved to Muncie looking to expand their glass container business. A small, private teacher training school opened in 1899. After the community’s efforts to sustain the college failed, the Ball brothers bought the land and buildings of the defunct institution and donated them to the state of Indiana. This gift became the Indiana State Normal School Eastern Division, which opened in 1918 to meet Indiana’s need for more and better teachers. Almost 40 years later, Ball State Teachers College had grown, and faculty and staff from outside of the Midwest were attracted to the school. Students sought majors in areas such as business, architecture and other emerging disciplines. After great increases in enrollment and funding, the Indiana General Assembly decided in 1965 to change the name of the college to Ball State University. The change in the name acknowledged the school's growth in enrollment and facilities, the variety and quality of its educational programs and services and the anticipation of the broader role it would play in the state's future. Today, Ball State is known for extensive degree offerings, technological resources, immersive learning opportunities, community outreach projects and state-of-the-art facilities.

Muncie, in Delaware County, is located about 60 miles northeast of Indianapolis and is bordered by Grant and Blackford counties on the north, Jay and Randolph counties on the east, Henry County on the south and Madison County on the west. Since its organization in 1827, Delaware County has grown from a small Native American village to an important manufacturing center. The county was named for the Delaware Indians, an Eastern tribe that was slowly pushed into Ohio and finally settled in East Central Indiana during the 1770s. The Delaware Indians established several towns along the White River, among those Munseetown, near present-day Muncie. In 1818, under the Treaty of St. Mary's Ohio, the Delawares ceded their holdings in Indiana to the United States government and moved westward. In 1820, Delaware County was opened for settlement.

Did you know? 'Beneficence'
As the symbol of Ball State, Benny stands in a courtyard, past the Student Center and near Lucina Hall. It was built more than 60 years ago and has stood as a public monument in honor of the generosity of the Ball brothers. Daniel Chester French, best known for sculpting the Abraham Lincoln statue in the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., was commissioned by the Muncie Chamber of Commerce to create Beneficence. It was completed in 1930 and installed in 1937. After Ball State's graduation ceremony, it has become a tradition for students and families to take pictures with the institutional icon.
Charlie Cardinal
A symbol of Ball State every student should know, Charlie Cardinal is Ball State's mascot and is a familiar face to crowds at intercollegiate athletic events throughout the year.
Christy Woods
Originally known as the Arboretum, Christy Woods is a 18-acre tract of land that houses more than 300 species of trees, shrubs and flowers. On the southwest edge of campus next to the Cooper Science Building, Christy Woods is an outdoor classroom and laboratory that provides opportunities for hands-on learning and observation of nature and natural processes for students of all ages. It includes a forest, prairie, wetlands, greenhouses and agricultural ground. It was named after Otto Christy, the former head of the science department who was responsible for designing most of the campus landscaping.
Duck Pond
North of Johnson Halls, the Duck Pond is home to fish, ducks and geese. It's also a great spot for students to picnic, relax and even study in the sun.
'Frog Baby'
Sculpted in 1937 by Edith Barretto Stevens Parson, Frog Baby is a sculpture of a joyous little girl playfully holding a frog in each hand. She was originally housed in the Ball
State University Museum of Art. Legend has it that Ball State students would rub her nose for good luck before taking their final exams. They soon were not allowed to touch her nose because at one point, the nose was rubbed off. Frog Baby now stands in the middle of a fountain north of Bracken Library. Instead of rubbing her nose, students now routinely loan Frog Baby a scarf and hat when the weather turns cold.
‘Naked Lady’
The name of the statue in the central lobby of Bracken Library is Forest Idyll, but students affectionately refer to it as "the naked lady." It is the central meeting place for study groups and friends. Messages are left around "the naked lady" often to point fellow group members to certain locations in the library. Albin Polasek sculpted Forest Idyll in 1930.
The Nunnery
Student slang for Woodworth residence halls, an all-female housing complex on campus. It also houses Woodworth Commons, a dining facility featuring an Italian eatery, a grill restaurant, a Mongolian grill, a deli and a place to go for down-home cooking. CONTINUED ON THE NEXT PAGE

Scramble Light
Located at McKinley and Riverside Avenues, this intersection is so named because pedestrians scramble to cross the street every which way when the stoplights halt traffic in all directions. The Scramble Light is a popular place for people to meet. It's also a place for organizations and groups to pass out fliers, promote events and spread the word about their cause.
Fight Song
Former Ball State student Jaron HenrieMcCrea created a film to teach the Ball State Fight Song and highlight Ball State's memorable icons and landmarks. It can be seen at www.bsu.edu/fightsong Ball State Fight Song Fight team fight for Ball State We must win this game Onward now you Cardinals Bring glory to your name Fight! Fight! Fight! Here's to both our colors Cardinal and White Praying for a victory So fight, fight, fight!
David Letterman
Ball State's biggest claim to fame would have to be alumnus David Letterman. Host of CBS's Late Show with David Letterman, Letterman has been making audiences laugh for decades. In 1969, Letterman graduated from Ball State with a telecommunications degree and went on to work as a weatherman for WTHR-TV in Indianapolis. In 2007, Letterman returned to Ball State's campus for the dedication of the David Letterman Communication and Media Building, a cutting-edge facility that connects an impressive three-building communications complex and supports four departments: communication
studies, journalism, telecommunications and the Center for Information and Communication Sciences. Indiana Public Radio also is housed in the building.
Jim Davis
Who doesn't know the lasagna-loving, Monday-hating cat that stars in his very own comic in newspapers across the country? Ball State alumnus Jim Davis created Garfield, along with his owner, Jon Arbuckle, and Arbuckle's dog, Odie. Davis graduated in 1967, having studied art and business during his time at Ball State. After working as an assistant for Tumbleweeds cartoonist Tom K. Ryan, Davis put his own talents to the test and debuted Garfield in newspapers across the country in 1978. An endowment, the Jim Davis Fund, was started in 2010 to provide Ball students with immersive learning experiences emphasizing emerging media.
John Schnatter
During a student's time at Ball State, there will be lots of opportunities for free pizza given out at events, classes, etc. It is guaranteed the pizza will be from Papa John's. This is because Papa John's founder and current President and CEO John Schnatter is a 1984 graduate of Ball State. He created the concept for Papa John's in 1983, delivering pizza from the back of his father's tavern in Jeffersonville, Ind. Today, Papa John's has nearly 3,000 restaurants in 49 states. Miller College of Business honored Schnatter in 2004 by inducting him into the college's hall of fame.
Angela Ahrendts
Ball State's fashion lovers have something to talk about when it comes to alumna Angela Ahrendts. The 1981 graduate is now the chief executive officer of one of the biggest fashion labels in the world, Burberry. Before becoming the CEO of one of the United Kingdom's most iconic luxury clothiers, she was president of Donna Karen International, executive vice president of Henri Bendel and, most recently, executive vice president of Liz Claiborne Inc. In 2010, Ahrendts came back to Ball State to give the commencement address to the graduating class. Sources: www.bsu.edu; www.burberryplc.com

Park here, not there Parking is plentiful on Ball State’s campus, with ample parking lots, parking garages and metered parking available. Keep in mind, however, that every lot and meter has set enforcement hours and a price tag attached.
Parking permits and meters
Lot parking permits are available in several categories, depending on the purchaser’s status as student, commuting student, employee or other. The most economical parking permit for students is the Commuter Permit for green surface commuter lots. This fall, a full-year green permit is $90. Green lots are located at the far north of campus near Worthen Arena, and at the far south of campus near the Student Center. All campus lots are exclusively permit parking during set times. And most meters must be paid 24 hours daily. Be sure to read
signs and meters carefully. Parking tickets for expired meters typically cost $15 and for parking in a permit lot without a permit cost $85. Enforcement hours are posted at www. bsu.edu/parking. Visit the BSU Parking Services office between the hours of 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. to obtain parking permits or to pay enforcement fines. It’s in the lower level of the Pittenger Student Center, Room L-1.
Parents and other campus visitors
Parents of BSU residence hall students are eligible for a free Cardinal Pride parking permit, which is valid in green and yellow permit lots, as well as at campus meters. Campus visitors may obtain a free visitor permit by visiting Parking Services and bringing with them vehicle and registration information, dates of visit and a valid driver’s license. Students cannot request the visitor parking permit.
Campus parking garages
Ball State has three parking garages: near Emens Auditorium, along McKinley Avenue and near the Student Center. Each has metered visitor parking available at hourly or daily rates, with machines that accept cash, debit or credit-card payment. Restricted (Red) Permits are also available for parking garages, though they are limited to BSU employees or off-campus students during restricted hours.
Athletics & other event parking
Parking is enforced at all campus events. Check permit hours in lots and metered space times before parking. Be sure to pre-pay meters or event parking personnel. Campus Shuttle Bus Service is typically available one hour prior to events. Parking garages are within walking distance of several campus performance venues. CONTINUED ON THE NEXT PAGE

Ball State Health Center
The student health center is in the Amelia T. Wood building and is comprised of a walk-in clinic and pharmacy on the first floor, Women's Center and Health Education on the second floor and a physical therapy unit on the lower level. The purpose of the health center is to complement the services of your healthcare provider. The health center provides many services, such as immunizations, STD testing, advice for study abroad students, exams required for student employment and TB testing. Before the start of classes, each student is required by Indiana state law to turn in a health form that includes his or her immunization information. However, the university allows a grace period of one academic term. Students will be prohibited from registering for second semester classes if they have not turned in the form. • Hours: 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Monday, Thursday and Friday; 9 a.m.-6:30 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday. • Phone: (765) 285-8431 • Email: healthcenter@bsu. edu Source: www.bsu.edu (Search Health Center)

Mental Health Assistance Every year, hundreds of students, faculty, and staff members use the services of the Counseling Center. This comprehensive services office provides free and confidential psychological and career resources to students. The primary mission of the agency is to assist students in reaching their educational goals, as well as to improve their quality of life. Many kinds of issues and concerns can best and most comfortably be dealt with by working with a counselor on an individual basis. If individual counseling seems best for your needs, you will ordinarily continue meeting with your intake counselor. Occasionally, you may be referred to another counselor whose expertise can better meet your needs. The maximum number of individual sessions that a client may have in any calendar year is 12, although most problems can be resolved in fewer sessions, with the average number being four. Sometimes a student and their counselor decide that group counseling is the best way to address their issues. This is often the case when students have questions about how they get along with others or if they are feeling lonely and isolated. At other times, students may experience unique difficulties that are best addressed with others who share those same concerns. Students who have been in group therapy often report that they enjoyed getting to know group members over time and that they found giving and receiving feedback from others helpful. Often students tell us that it was very reassuring to realize that other students had the same types of concerns and to learn about how they coped with them. A consulting psychiatrist is available to serve students in conjunction with counseling services. Psychiatric services are available by referral only. All of our services are free and confidential. Confidentiality: The Counseling Center staff has a strong commitment to keeping the information you share confidential. Beyond our own commitment to confidentiality, Indiana law requires it.

Tone this and that HEALTH & FITNESS CENTERS
BY DAWN FLUHLER
Because college life can be stressful and busy, it’s important to take time to be intentionally physically active, in addition to eating right and enjoying time with friends. The benefits of physical activity are vast, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Not only does exercise help control weight, but it improves mental health and mood. And although probably not on most college students’ minds, risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and some cancers are lowered with regular physical activity. Ball State University’s campus and the surrounding Muncie area have many offerings to counteract the sedentary studious life with both exercise facilities and recreational opportunities.
On Campus
BSU Recreation Services Staying on campus is likely to be easiest for students new to Muncie and those without personal transportation. Keep in mind that leaving campus by foot, bicycle or public transportation is always an option. Fees for the BSU Wellness and Recreation Center and all of its services are included in every part- and full-time student’s bursar billings. This fee for parttime students is $50 per semester, and for full-time students is $90 per semester. Spouses and dependents of BSU students can also obtain access by visiting the SRWC main office. Ball State’s SWRC opened in the fall of 2010, boasting a rock wall climbing room, a 100-by-200 foot indoor turf building, an indoor walk/run track, an Outdoor Pursuits rental center, state-ofthe art fitness facilities and much more.
welcometomuncie.com • College Welcome Guide
Additionally, intramural sports, instructional classes and adventure trips are arranged through the SWRC. Information: (765) 2851753; www.bsu.edu/recreation Walk, bike and run Ball State’s campus sidewalks are ideal for walking and jogging. And the campus is large enough that runners can create numerous routes to suit their mileage needs. Furthermore, Ball State has a running club (http://runclub.iweb.bsu.edu/) and a cycling club (http://ballstatecycling. weebly.com/).
Leaving Campus
Students need not feel limited to campus-only physical activity. Muncie has several other fitness and wellness facilities, as well as the Cardinal Greenway and Muncie city parks: YMCA of Muncie With three Muncie area locations, the YMCA of Muncie offers a membership category for young adults ages 18-23 for $29 monthly plus a $40 joiner fee. Nontraditional students may fall into another membership category, ranging from $35.50 to $44 monthly. For students with families, the YMCA offers the added benefit of free child care during scheduled hours. The Y offers group fitness classes (including Zumba and cycling), free fitness evaluations and Wellness Center orientations, special events and specialized fitness programs. Information: (765) 288-4448; MuncieYMCA. org Anytime Fitness One of the benefits of Anytime Fitness is that membership allows use of any of the company’s 1,700 facilities nation-wide. The Muncie facility opened in March 2010, with 4,600 square feet of fitness space, cardio equipment with personal TVs, free weights, private showers, floor exercise rooms and access to anytimehealth.com. It’s open 24 hours every day, so it’s always convenient. Every Anytime Fitness member receives a personalized key fob to access the facility, and a one-on-one fitness orientation.

Twelve-month memberships are $36 monthly plus a one-time $51 enrollment fee. A tanning package add-on is available for $17.60 per month. Personal training is also available for $25 to $40 per session, depending on number of sessions in your package. Information: (765) 212-2321; AnytimeFitness.com Modern Lady For women who want to work out in an all-female fitness center, Modern Lady is exactly that. Serving Muncie-area women for 30 years, the center offers weights and cardio equipment, aerobics classes, a sauna and whirlpool and clean showers and locker rooms. Massages are also available for an additional fee. With convenient hours, Modern Lady is located along McGalliard Road, near Walmart, Walgreens and a tanning facility, as well as University Estates apartments. Modern Lady offers a government and student rate of 10 percent off of regular membership prices. Call (765) 288-6419 for more information. Cardinal Greenway The Cardinal Greenway is a collection of paved trails that spans 62 miles in Delaware County and beyond. The Greenway in Muncie is much more than a place to get fit. Beyond walking, running and biking, trail users get to enjoy the great outdoors as an opportunity to connect with nature, spend time with their pets, socialize and enjoy hobbies such as photography and entomology. Loaner bicycles are available at the Cardinal Greenway Wysor Street Depot, located on Wysor Street near downtown Muncie. The greenway also sponsors many events every year from walking and nature groups to the Walk Indiana walking marathon event and the Great Greenway Tour biking event. Visit www. cardinalgreenways.org/calendar/ for a calendar of Greenway events.
