Ball State announced its tuition rec-ommendations on Monday, the next step in the process to setting tuition for the next two years.

The university recommended a 2 percent increase for each of the

next two years, after the Indiana Commission for Higher Educations recommended no more than a 2 percent increase to public univer-sities in early May.

It has also announced a public hearing required by state law con-cerning the university’s tuition on Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. in Assembly Hall at the Alumni Center.

The increase would amount to an additional $180 in 2013-14 and $184 dollars for 2014-15 for a full-time, resident undergraduate student and a total of $9,160 and

$9,344 respectively.“The increased student tuition and

mandatory fees, in combination with a modest increase in state appropria-tions in 2013-14 and no increase in state appropriations in 2014-15 are necessary to fund the university’s op-erating budget,” the university said in the announcement.

Ball State is coming off a 2.8 percent increase to its budget for the 2013-15 biennium despite a small 0.6 percent dip in its operating appropriations.

University recommends 2 percent increase for students next 2 years

BSU PROPOSES TUITION INCREASE

RABAT, Morocco — A 66-year-old Tunisian man has died from the new coronavirus follow-ing a visit to Saudi Arabia and two of his adult children were infected with it, the Tunisian Health Ministry reported.

His sons were treated and have since recovered but the rest of the family remains under medical observation, the ministry said in a statement Mon-day. The World Health Organiza-tion confirmed the cases of the children, but said one of them was a daughter who was with her fa-ther for part of the trip to Saudi Arabia and Qatar. There was no im-mediate way to reconcile the dif-fering reports.

The cases are the first for Tuni-sia and indicate that the virus is slowly trickling out of Saudi Arabia, where more than 30 coronavirus cases have been reported. There have been at least 20 deaths worldwide out of 40 cases.

“These Tunisia cases haven’t changed our risk assessment, but they do show the virus is still in-fecting people,” said Gregory Hartl, a spokesman for WHO in Geneva.

MUNCIE, Ind. (AP) — A judge says a former ad-ministrator of a Muncie church was brazen in em-bezzling more than $130,000 over a nine-year period.

The judge sentenced 42-year-old Angela Re-nee Linder of Yorktown to 17 months in prison during a federal court hearing Tuesday in India-napolis.

The Star Press reports Linder testified she suf-fers from bipolar disorder that caused her to go out of control with credit cards from Muncie’s Union Chapel United Methodist Church.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Gayle Helart says Linder used the church’s money for personal expenses ranging from trips and home renovation projects to fees at fertility and weight-loss clinics.

Linder called her actions “appalling and deeply wounding.” She apologized to the church and her family for the shame she caused.

YOUNG VOTERSBrandon Waite, an assistant politi-

cal science professor, said there are many reasons behind the decrease in young voters. He said some col-lege students and graduates have a lowered pride for America.

“A lot of people coming out of col-lege are still having a lot of trouble finding jobs,” Waite said. “Four years after graduating college and you’re still working a part-time or a menial job, it’s difficult to maintain your en-thusiasm about American politics.”

Ariel Lee, a senior political science major, said Ball State’s campus wasn’t as politically rallied as she had expect-ed in 2012, but it was still very active.

“There were a lot of people try-ing to get others registered, which I thought was really cool,” she said. “There didn’t seem to be a lot of par-

tisan fighting, which I thought was really nice.”

She said the social aspect of campus also encourages young people to vote.

“I think people who are in college have the chance to talk with people their own age and interests,” she said. “We can rally ourselves to be interested in politics and things that are going on in the world, so it just makes it a bit easier.”

Sydney Hellgeth, a sophomore ani-mation major, said she felt like she made a change in the country when she voted.

“As soon as you’re 18 and you have the opportunity, I think it’s a good thing and you should do it,” she said. “If people don’t want to, it’s their opinion. If you want to have a say in what’s going to happen in our world, I think you should vote.”

PRESIDENT OBAMAObama’s support from voters

younger than 30-years-old dropped 2.4 million votes in 2012 from 2008.

His strong Facebook presence in 2008 reached out to younger voters, but Waite said its impact may have been weakened in the most recent election because it was no longer a new outlet.

“One of the things that we see now is that my grandmother is on Facebook,” he said. “The demo-graphics have changed. So while the campaigns are still heavily us-ing social networks, it is now tap-ping a much broader demographic, not just young people. As a result, the pronounced effect on young people has been diluted.”

The Center for Information & Research on Civic Learning and Engagement reported on May 10 that participation among voters younger than 25 in the 2008 election was the highest it had been in 30 years, but fell by more than 1.1 million in 2012.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — An advocacy group is de-manding a civil rights investigation into the death of a Chechen immigrant who was shot to death by authorities in central Florida while being questioned about his ties to one of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects.

A spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations said Wednesday his group is asking the U.S. Department of Justice’s civil rights division to open a probe into how 27-year-old Ibragim Todashev died last week.

CAIR spokesman Hassan Shibly said he wants to know if excessive force was used or whether Toda-shev’s rights were violated.

The FBI said Todashev was killed during a violent confrontation while he was being questioned by an FBI agent and two Massachusetts state troopers about his ties to slain Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev, as well as about a 2011 triple slaying in Massachusetts.

The medical examiner has ruled the death a homicide.

GROUP DEMANDS CIVIL RIGHTS INVESTIGATION INTO DEATH

AP|BRIEF

The Tunisian fatality, a dia-betic, had been complaining of breathing problems since his re-turn from the trip and died in a hospital in the coastal Tunisian city of Monastir. Many previ-ous coronavirus patients have had underlying medical prob-lems, which WHO said might have made them more suscep-tible to getting infected. There is no specific treatment for the disease, but the agency has is-sued guidelines for how doctors might treat patients, like provid-ing oxygen therapy and avoid-ing strong steroids.

The new virus has been com-pared to SARS, an unusual pneu-monia that surfaced in China then erupted into a deadly in-ternational outbreak in early 2003. Ultimately, more than 8,000 SARS cases were reported in about 30 countries and over 770 people died from it.

The new coronavirus is most

closely related to a bat virus and is part of a family of viruses that cause the common cold and SARS. Experts suspect it may be jumping directly from animals like camels or goats into people, but there isn’t enough proof to narrow down a species yet. The virus can cause acute respira-tory disease, kidney failure and heart problems.

“We still do not have a good idea of how people are getting infected and that is a major con-cern,” Hartl said.

Last week, WHO said it was worried about “cases that are not part of larger clusters and who do not have a history of animal contact.” WHO said those cases suggest the virus may already be spreading in the community.

Ball State had recovered from a slated $11.4 million cut before the state added money to higher education in the budget.

In 2011, the state cut Ball State’s funding by $11.8 million because of poor performance-based outcomes. The univer-sity then raised tuition and fees 3.9 percent in 2011-12 and 4.9 percent in 2012-13 despite the commission’s recommenda-tions to raise tuition and fees by no more than 3 percent.

Ball State President Jo Ann Gora said in her President’s Perspective on April 28 that salaries will be a focus in the budgeting process.

“We must balance increases with pressures created by increasing costs in energy, health care and other bene-fits, along with a commitment to affordability, which will im-

pact our tuition recommenda-tion,” she said of possible tu-ition adjustments.

The commission adopted policy recommendations in May designed to limit tu-

ition increases and maintain college affordability.

“Indiana lawmakers stepped up this session and invested more than $235 million in ad-ditional dollars to support the operations of our colleges and universities over the next two years,” said Teresa Lubbers, Indiana Commissioner for Higher Education. “Now we’re asking our colleges to do their part by limiting their tuition increases to no higher than the rate of inflation.”

Purdue’s Board of Trustees ap-proved a tuition freeze on May 22 and Indiana University an-nounced a 1.75 percent increase in its tuition recommendation on Friday.

INDIANAPOLIS — A group of store owners filed suit Wednes-day, saying Indiana’s efforts to curb so-called lookalike drugs have stretched beyond crack-ing down on synthetic drugs to granting the state arbitrary power to confiscate legal prod-ucts from business.

Four members of the Na-tional Association of Aroma-therapy Product Producers and Vendors filed suit in the U.S. District Court in India-napolis on seeking to block a measure that lawmakers passed last month.

The stores, including Misha-waka organic food distributor B&B Distributions and Marion head shop Bohemian Groove,

argue that the law was written too vaguely and has been hurt-ing their business.

“The Statute provides no mandatory ascertainable standards for determining what substances are actually banned, thereby denying any party of notice of their alleged violation of the statute,” the parties write in the suit.

The law bans the sale of items similar to other banned drugs. It expands on previous laws banning the sale of bath salts and synthetic drugs like spice, which mimic other con-trolled substances.

Sen. Jim Merritt, R-India-napolis, author of the new ban, said the state has been struggling to keep pace with synthetic drug manufacturers who have found easy work-arounds to previous bans. The state banned chemicals used in the creation of “bath salts” last year, but manufacturers found new chemical mixtures

to work around that law.“The bottom line is, I think

we’re on solid footing,” Mer-ritt said.

The lawsuit argues that the new law should also be read to ban talcum powder, cigarettes, potpourri and catnip “since it looks like marijuana.”

But Merritt contests the only purpose of the synthet-ics the state is targeting are to “intoxicate and wreck lives.” “People might say Pledge is a drug because you can sniff it, but you can still shine a table and shine wood with it,” he said.

NAAPPV spokesman Evan McMahon said at least three Indiana convenience stores have already had herbal in-cense confiscated by police in the few weeks since the law took effect. The parties in the suit want to stop the sale of synthetic drugs, but also protect their ability to sell legal products.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A North Carolina man is headed to prison for threatening President Barack Obama through Twitter during the 2012 Democratic National Convention.

A federal judge sentenced Donte Jamar Sims on Wednesday to six months after he pleaded guilty to one count of knowingly and willfully making a threat to take the life of the president.

Sims admitted using his Twitter account, (at)DestroyLeague_D, to post five threats in advance of Obama’s September arrival to speak in Charlotte, including “Plotting president Obama’s Mur-der,” “Ima Assassinate president Obama this evening!” and “The Secret Service is gonna be defenseless once I aim the Assault Rifle at Barack’s Forehead.”

Authorities said the 22-year-old from Charlotte told them he was high on marijuana when he made the threats. He later wrote an apology to Obama.

N.C. MAN JAILED AFTER TWEET THREAT


INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — In-diana’s Department of Educa-tion is seeking an outside re-view of the ISTEP test results following a series of comput-er glitches that will likely de-lay test results until July.

IDOE spokesman Daniel Alt-man said Wednesday it had begun the process of select-ing an independent evaluator to assess the test’s validity.

The announcement comes shortly after test contractor CTB/McGraw-Hill said prob-lems with the online exam would likely delay results until July.

“At this point, we’ve just

given the IDOE a list of stu-dents who experienced in-terruptions during the as-sessment administration. No determinations have been made yet about validity, but the reporting delay is tied

to that review process,” said Brian Belardi, spokesman for McGraw-Hill Education.

Limits on the amount Mc-Graw-Hill’s online servers could handle caused students taking the ISTEP across the state earlier this month to be frozen out of tests in some cases and, in others, experi-ence lengthy delays.

Problems with the on-line format affected roughly 70,000 tests and have led some school administrators to say the results should be ruled invalid.

Leaders of the Fort Wayne Community School Corp. have been the most vocal critics of the testing troubles, flatly calling for the results to be deemed invalid and thrown out.

“We’re happy to see those next steps are happening, we will still wait and see

how things will go,” school spokeswoman Krista Stock-man said. “It’s difficult for us to see how these tests could possibly be valid, given the extent of the disruption.”

ISTEP results have become intensely important in the last few years, as new laws tie them to teacher pay and how much money school districts receive. Republican lawmak-ers who pushed through a sweeping series of education changes in 2011, including basing teacher pay on test scores, have supported new budgeting rules that would send money to schools that score well on the state’s A-F grading system.

A state legislative commit-tee plans to review troubles with the online test, and call in leaders from the IDOE and McGraw-Hill to answer ques-tions in the coming months.

Waite said Obama also may have lost voters because when they look at incumbent presi-dents, they often see “dimin-ished expectations.” He said Obama’s stress on hope and change may have been too promising for novice voters.

“We still have all of these things that he really ran on in 2008 that are still not fully implemented or haven’t made progress on,” he said. “I think there are a lot of younger voters who felt let down and disenchanted with the political process like they had been before.

“You have this uptick in hope and change, and then it doesn’t happen on the timeline that they expect it to happen on.”

Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter both had a reduced number of youth voters during their sec-ond runs for presidency.

WOMEN Young women have been more

likely than young men to vote since 1972. Women younger than 30 had a higher voter turn-out since then, including the last election, when they had a 7.1 higher percent of voting than men in the same age group.

Waite said social and econom-ic factors have helped lead to higher female participation in politics.

“I think that one of the things that we saw from the ‘70s to now is that as more women en-ter the workforce, they started paying far greater attention and wanting to have a say in policy as well,” he said. “I think if we do see Hillary Clinton run, you’re going to see a major uptick among women.”

He said abortion is also an is-sue that has influenced more young women to join the politi-cal process.

“Given the nature of reproduc-tive politics, it’s not surprising that women are engaged in that policy on both sides of the issue,”

Waite said.

THE FUTUREAn important thing to note in

the studies of voters under 25 is that in different elections the group is composed of largely new individuals.

“Every four years our defini-tion of youth voters changes who we’re talking about,” Waite said. “Those 18- to 24-year-olds are now 28- to 34-year-olds, so we’re talking about new demo-graphic of young voters every new election cycle.”

Waite said the future of po-litical parties and elections are hard to gauge just by looking at the next generation, but lib-eral strains are likely to gain strength.

“I think one of the things we’re going to see is that it’s only going to get more interesting as some of these political wins change on some of these issues,” he said.

Still, Waite said it is important for young people to vote.

“My one advice to young vot-ers or people of age to vote is to actually vote,” he said. “I think there is something about going and participating in your first election and really every elec-tion after that. You really have to actually do it. Once you do it, I think you will understand why everyone else thinks it’s so im-portant.”

Letters to gun control advocates, NYC mayor test positive for ricin


NEW YORK — Two threat-ening letters sent to New York City’s mayor and his group that advocates for gun control contained traces of the deadly poison ricin, po-lice said Wednesday.

The anonymous letters were opened in New York on Friday at the city’s mail fa-cility and in Washington on Sunday at an office used by Mayors Against Illegal Guns, a nonprofit started by bil-

lionaire Michael Bloomberg to counter the powerful U.S. gun lobby.

Both the letters contained threats to Bloomberg and an oily pinkish-orange substance, New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne said. He would not comment on what specific threats were made or where the letters were postmarked. He also wouldn’t say whether investi-gators believe they were sent by the same person.

Bloomberg said one of the letters referred to his “anti-gun efforts.” He also said he did not feel threatened.

Browne said preliminary testing indicted the presence of ricin in both letters but that

more testing would be done. A mayor’s spokesman, also speaking for the nonprofit, said he had no comment.

Bloomberg has been one of the country’s most visible gun control advocates since the December shooting of 20 young children and six adults at a Connecticut school with a legally purchased, high-pow-ered rifle. Bloomberg’s group lobbies lawmakers and counts more than 700 mayors nation-wide as members.

Bloomberg’s separate po-litical action committee sup-ports political candidates who support gun control — an effort to counter the National Rifle Association, which pressures politicians

to follow its point of view.The people who initially

came into contact with the letters showed no symptoms of exposure to the poison, but three officers who later examined the New York let-ter experienced some minor symptoms that have abated, police said.

Word of the letters comes about a month after letters containing ricin were ad-dressed to President Barack Obama, a U.S. senator and a Mississippi judge. A Missis-sippi man was arrested in that case.

Browne would not comment on what specific threats were made or where the letters were postmarked.

Police found oily poison substance on Wednesday

DISNEYLAND EMPLOYEE ARRESTED


ANAHEIM, California — Po-lice arrested a Disneyland employee on suspicion of putting a so-called dry ice bomb in a theme park trash can where it exploded, au-thorities said Wednesday.

No one was injured in the small blast, but Disneyland briefly evacuated the Mick-ey’s Toontown section where the incident occurred Tues-day. The trash can did not

blow up.Christian Barnes, 22, of

Long Beach was arrested for investigation of possessing a destructive device, just hours after the blast, police Sgt. Bob Dunn said in a statement.

It wasn’t immediately clear how police connected Barnes to the blast and Dunn did not return repeated calls. Police said earlier they would scruti-nize social media and surveil-lance footage.

Disneyland spokeswoman Suzi Brown released a state-ment Wednesday saying the resort was working closely with authorities.

Barnes will be suspended or fired, she said.

Barnes, who worked as an

outdoor vendor for the re-sort, was held on $1 million bail, Dunn said.

Dunn said Barnes was co-operating with investigators, telling them the blast was an isolated incident with results he did not expect, Dunn said. Dunn did not elaborate.

Barnes’ case had not yet been presented to prosecutors, said Farrah Emami, a spokeswom-an for the Orange County dis-trict attorney’s office. The bail amount could change when prosecutors get the case and charges are decided, she said.

Detectives found frag-ments of a water bottle in the trash can and believe Barnes placed dry ice inside it to create the explosion,

the police spokesman said.A telephone listing for a

Christian Barnes in Long Beach rang unanswered Wednesday.

So-called dry ice bombs are easy to make, and on a much smaller scale, are sometimes used as classroom chemis-try demonstrations, said John Goodpaster, an explosives ex-pert at the Purdue School of Sci-ence at Indiana University-Pur-due University Indianapolis.

The size of the explosion, however, can vary greatly de-pending on the container’s size, material and the amount of dry ice used, he said.

Q+A JESSICA HUFFMAN SENIOR NURSING MAJOR + CORNFED DERBY DAME

GET TO KNOW:A DERBY DAME

Q: How did you get in-volved in roller derby? A: My English professor my freshman year was on Cornfed and she decided to bring us. I came with an-other girl on the team; we thought it looked like fun so we started. Q: Are there any benefits to it? A: These ladies are my fam-ily. It’s been great. I don’t go home nearly as much as I used to. It’s team building. Q: What is the thing you like best about it? A: The team, definitely. Q: Is there anything that is not so fabulous, that may-be you don’t like as much? A: With it being a lot of la-dies, we do get at each oth-er’s nerves sometimes. But we love one another and we have to keep reminding ourselves of that. Q: I noticed that there were two breaks in game play tonight because of injury, on both the Derby Dames and the Bonny Dooms side. Have you yourself had any injuries? A: We’ve all hit our head at least once or twice, and then I screwed up my knee a couple of years ago. Q: One of the things that a lot of people are curious about when it comes to roller derby is your names. How do you get your names?A: There is a big database of names that have already been taken. You can’t have anything that is too close, or too similar to somebody else’s. So you submit your name and they will either accept it deny it. Q: So there is a master roll-er derby name database? A: There is a master roller derby name database. It’s very handy. You submit it

and most of the time it says ‘No.’Q: Now is there an alter ego side to you? Like there is the portion that is you, then there is the B-FLAT-tened side. Are they differ-ent people, or more or less the same? A: I would say so, yes. I’m trying to be more aggres-sive being B-FLATtened than Jessica. It’s hard. You gotta get out there and if somebody hits you, you have to hit her back. In real life I would be like ‘Oh, it’s OK.’ Q: Do you ever see the B-FLATtened side come out, like when you’re in traffic and you feel the need to jam someone against the wall?A: Yeah. It’s always a bad thing if it’s the entire team if we are driving right after practice. Q: Because you’re really aggressive? A: Yeah. We all become screaming metal death-traps. Best not do that. Q: Now this game was ac-tually a benefit for the Ani-mal Rescue Fund. Were you guys the ones who set that up, or was it a mutual thing? A: We contacted them [The Bonnie Dooms] and made sure it was all OK. Q: Why ARF? Any particu-lar reason? A: We are going though a bunch of different orga-nizations. We like to help the community and be in-volved. Q: What would you like for people to know about roller derby? A: It’s not roller derby as it used to be. Come watch it, it’s a lot different. We’re athletes. We’re not just picking fights.

L ast Saturday night, a relatively tame, family-oriented Muncie area skating rink was trans-formed into a high energy sport rink. Mun-cie’s local roller derby team, The Cornfed

Derby Dames, was in action against the South Bend Bonnie Dooms. The Dames lost 141-214.

Senior nursing major Jessica Huffman, or “B-FLATtened,” is one of several women who competed that night.

“B-FLATtened” and the rest of the team will next be in action against the NapTown Roller Girls on June 16 at Gibson’s in Muncie.

After being gone for seven years, “Arrested Development” has returned for a fourth season. I am one of the lucky few who didn’t have to wait all seven years for its return be-cause I only got into the show my freshman year. Nevertheless, I was very much excited for the new season.

While extremely thrilled to see the cast together again, I was also very weary. Shows have been canceled and brought back before and they’ve been complete busts. I really didn’t want this show to be one of them.

I hadn’t done much research before the fourth season, so I had no idea that all 15 ep-isodes were going to be released to Netflix at one time. When the clock struck three on Monday morning, I was prepped and ready to binge watch the entire season in one fell swoop, despite pleas from show creator Mitch Hurwitz to watch the episodes gradu-ally over a period of time.

The season starts off with Michael Bluth hitting his lowest point at a Bluth fam-ily made up event, “Cinco de Cuatro.” Every episode after is the story of a different mem-ber of the Bluth family, “whose future was abruptly canceled,” and how they had “no choice but to keep their [lives] together.”

Being that each episode is devoted to a dif-ferent person, I was immediately worried about whether or not the characters would continue to interact in the way we all know and love, because, of course, one of the greatest things about the show is how well the characters work together and play off of one another. After watching the season, I re-alize that I had no reason to worry and that, even when separated, the lives of the Bluth family members are connected.

Having each episode cover the last five years of a different member of the family would have been a risky move had Netflix not released all the episodes together. Al-though the initial purpose wasn’t for the episodes to be watched all in one sitting, I think that having it available to do just that has been a contributing factor to the season’s success.

All of the episodes are so intertwined, it’s insane. I haven’t seen continuity on this level since I watched “Lost.” For that reason, it just feels right to watch this season all the way through. That way you don’t have a chance to forget all of the wonderful intricacies. If the episodes were released in normal episodic style, once a week, I’m sure the season wouldn’t have been the same experience.

This season brings back several beloved guest stars such as Henry Winkler as the Bluth’s idiotic attorney, Barry Zucker-korn, Ben Stiller as G.O.B.’s arch nemesis, and of course, Liza Minnelli as the Bluth’s wealthy adversary, Lucille Austero or “Lu-cille 2.” Adding to the never disappoint-ing list of guest stars this season, we have Isla Fisher as Michael’s new love-interest, Rebel Alley, Ron Howard as himself and everyone else from Conan O’Brien to Seth Rogen. The trio from “Workaholics” even makes a guest appearance.

If you haven’t already watched the season, I assure you, it’s well worth the time. The show’s plethora of merry mix-ups and use of clever wordplay make it a must-see.

SEASON 4 WORTH WAIT, EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS

MICHAEL BOEHNLEINMOVIES WITH MICHAELMICHAEL BOEHNLEIN IS A SENIOR PRE ART MAJOR AND WRITES ‘MOVIES WITH MICHAEL’ FOR THE DAILY NEWS. HIS VIEWS DO NOT NECESSARILY AGREE WITH THOSE OF THE NEWSPAPER.WRITE TO MICHAEL AT [email protected].


NEW YORK — A healthy number of HBO subscribers were curious about Michael Douglas’ performance as Lib-erace in the TV movie “Be-hind the Candelabra.”

The Nielsen company said the 2.4 million people who tuned in to the movie’s pre-miere over the Memorial Day weekend represented the network’s biggest audi-ence for one of its original movies since “Something the Lord Made” in 2004. Another 1.1 million people saw a repeat of the Liberace movie that began right after the first airing.

Dancing ruled over sing-ing last week on the broad-cast networks, depending on which audience you followed. ABC’s two “Danc-ing With the Stars” airings last week had around 15 million viewers, the most-watched program on tele-vision. Among the younger demographic that are at-tractive to advertisers,

however, NBC’s “The Voice” was more popular.

Monday’s version of the Univision telenovela “Amores Verdaderos” landed in the Top 10 among younger viewers last week. In an in-dication of how young the Spanish-language show’s audience is, it ranked No. 39 among all viewers.

ABC won the week in prime time, averaging 6.5 million viewers, benefitting from “Dancing” and the finales of “Modern Family” and “The Middle.” CBS was second with a 6.3 million viewer av-erage, NBC had 5 million, Fox had 4.3 million, Univision had 3.5 million, Telemundo had 1.6 million, ION Televi-sion had 1.2 million and the CW had 760,000.

TNT was the week’s most popular cable network, aver-aging 3.4 million viewers in prime time. USA had 2.7 mil-lion, the Disney Channel had 2.2 million, Fox News Chan-nel had 1.9 million and TBS had 1.6 million.

NBC’s “Nightly News” topped the evening news-casts with an average of 8 million viewers. ABC’s “World News” was second with 7.4 million and the “CBS Evening News” had 6 million viewers.

2.4 MILLION VIEW HBO’S TV MOVIE

“Mud” tells the story of two boy-hood friends, the vulnerable Ellis (Tye Sheridan) and his straight–edge — complete with Fugazi shirt — friend Neckbone (Jacob Lo-fland). The two live near the water in Arkansas and decide to venture out to a nearby island where they hope to find a boat stuck in a tree from a recent flood.

When they get to the boat, how-ever, they find a man calling himself Mud (Matthew McConaughey) who has taken the boat for his home. Mud is the quintessential Southern campfire storyteller, a man who has nails in the shape of crosses in his boots, a wolf ’s eye sewn into his shirt for protection and believes bonfires lead to good luck.

The boys learn that Mud is liv-ing on the island while awaiting to be reunited with his girlfriend Juniper (Reese Witherspoon). The boys agree to help Mud reunite with his girlfriend and provide him with food in exchange for the boat when Mud leaves.

The story in Mud is exception-al. It feels like both a spacious Southern fable and a unique com-ing of age story at the same time. There’s a good balance of oddball elements that keep the story from getting too sappy but enough solid plotting to keep the story from veering all over the place.

Ellis really forms the emotion-al center of the piece. The story starts with a tone that would sug-

gest Southern folklore but we eventually break that down until we face a very harsh reality. This ebb and flow with the plot coin-cides with Ellis himself, as he be-gins to face the harsh realities of the world around him, we lose a lot of the special magic that makes up the first half of the film.

In particular, I thought a scene where Ellis humiliates himself in front of a group of other kids — culminating with him declar-ing his love for May Pearl (Bonnie Sturdivant) — was incredibly hon-est. In one moment we see get to see Ellis’ perceptions of the world get torn apart in such a pain-ful way, and I thought it was just about perfect.

By contrast, Mud gives us a fan-tasy element that gives the story a lot more punch. As Ellis struggles to understand why his parents are divorced and how they could stop loving each other, he turns to Mud in order to try and restore his faith in the order of the world. McCo-naughey does the character great justice. He seems to finally have found a niche in movies that works well for him in the edgy mysteri-ous outsider type. It worked well for him in “Killer Joe” and I think he’s equally great here, keeping Mud interesting but also keeping him grounded with that slow Tex-as drawl.

Director Jeff Nichols is an excep-tional writer who also has the ability

to establish tone well through his photography. I loved “Take Shelter,” the 2011 psychological thriller starring Michael Shannon, and “Mud” continues Nichols’ hot streak. He seems to be one of the great original voices working in movies today, crafting tales that are really well-scripted and bring out the best of his actors.

Overall, I loved “Mud.” Loved ev-ery character, loved the fantastical elements, loved the harsh real-ism the movie could offer and re-ally appreciated the unique spin it places on this coming of age story. It’s a tightly told story that’s visu-ally interesting and inspires a lot of interesting characters and has a great payoff.

I didn’t love the way Mud and Juniper’s relationship tied up — and actually I was a little confused what the movie was trying to say with their conclusion — but other than that I thought this was a tre-mendous film.

I like movies that can blend fan-tastical elements to reality well, while sending the audience on a very compelling journey. I saw more than a little of my 14-year-old self in Ellis and actually felt pretty moved by his journey. Con-sidering that’s coming from some-one who grew up in the middle of Indiana connecting with someone growing up in the backwaters of Arkansas, this movie must being doing a lot right.

VIRUS CONCERN YOU AT ALL?

« Since there is no way to prevent yourself from getting it, it’s not something that I’m going to lose sleep over. Now if we could prevent it I might be a little more worried. »

JORDAN HUFFER, PHOTO EDITOR

« I welcome the end of the world — just kidding. Any time the head of the World Health Organization says a virus is the greatest concern, my ears perk up. Maybe the world won’t end, but it’s never too early to start panicking.»

STEVEN WILLIAMS, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

« When doctors don’t have answers, I get concerned. It doesn’t help that the mystery virus has a 50 percent survival rate. Those odds just aren’t good enough for me not to worry about it. »

EMMA KATE FITTES, NEWS EDITOR

« Not really. If I get it, ah well. I’m not going to live my life fearful of something that could happen. But of course, I’ll feel bad if it does reach America and starts killing people. »

MICHAEL BOEHNLEIN, DESIGN EDITOR

« I hope they figure out a way to cure it and stop its spread, but right now it isn’t really a concern of mine. Once a case is reported in the U.S., then I’ll pay a lot more attention.»

DANIEL BROUNT, COPY EDITOR

« It definitely concerns me. Anything that cannot be prevented, or cured once contracted, should warrant concern. At the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter. »

There wasn’t a dry eye in the room as Ball State women’s golf coach Katherine Mowat told the inspirational story of Autumn Duke to a visibly touched audi-ence of nearly 300.

Duke was presented with the Kim Moore Spirit Award at a banquet following the conclu-sion of the NCAA Division I Women’s Golf Championships, in Athens, Ga., last Friday.

Duke, a senior in 2012-2013, was a leader and role model for her teammates. Despite the tragic loss of her own role model, friend and foremost, her father, that never changed.

Larry Duke died in a motor-cycle accident on her birthday in September. His funeral took place just two days before Ball State’s own Cardinal Classic.

Autumn Duke was there, not just for the tournament, but for everything.

“Even the day after she buried her dad, she was always pres-ent,” Mowat said. “She didn’t miss a class. She didn’t miss anything with the team, from a tournament, to a workout, to a practice. She was always there.

She was always present.”Autumn Duke finished fifth

in the Classic, just two strokes out of first place. It was the best tournament of her career, and likely the most bittersweet, as Ball State won its first of four tournaments for the year.

She said in her four years at Ball State, she never played for another team as cohesive as this one. The entire team knew her dad. The loss was personal for each of them, not just Autumn Duke.

What resulted was an ex-tremely strong chemistry be-tween the girls. Autumn Duke’s perseverance helped to keep the effect on the team positive, as opposed to pulling it down.

“Basically, the fall was a lot of numbness and shock, and just surviving until the next spring. I would kind of describe the fall as a blur,” she said.

She not only survived, she thrived. And none took notice more than Mowat.

“It came to my mind that there were awards, and recognition that she would be worthy of,” she said. “I’ve never nominated an athlete before, so it was defi-nitely a bittersweet deal where you wish that you didn’t have to nominate her for something so tragic, but since that became our reality, I nominated Autumn for anything I could so that she could be recognized as the inspi-rational and courageous young lady that she is.”

Autumn Duke probably would have been excited about the award long ago, if she knew receiving it was even a possibility. Mowat made the nomination soon after the ac-cident occurred, but never in-formed her.

The two, along with Autumn Duke’s mother, made the trip and enjoyed the final rounds of NCAA Championship golf before attending the banquet.

Mowat introduced her golfer, leader and role model to the crowd, and received some-thing as memorable as the award itself.

“When I invited her to the

stage, there were probably 300 people present, and they imme-diately got to their feet and hon-ored her with the most beautiful standing ovation and applause. It was so touching, just incred-ible,” Mowat said.

Attending the banquet meant a chance for Autumn Duke to look back on her season with a new perspective on what she had overcome.

“It’s such a sense of accom-plishment for me, that I could have given up, but I didn’t,” she said. “And to know that my peers and other college coaches look at me and acknowledge what I was able to fight through.”

As the last team to sneak into its first NCAA Championships since 1986 — seeded last at No. 30 — Ball State’s men’s golf wasn’t expected to make much noise in the field of the nation’s top programs.

“Staying relevant” has been the team’s mantra all season long. The two words have been personified in the Cardinals’ play.

Through Ball State’s first nine holes at the Capital City Club Tree Crab Apple Course in Atlanta, the team got off to one of its best starts all season, stationing itself among the favorites — even holding the top spot for a few holes.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better start out of the gates,” coach Mike Fleck said. “The guys were playing disciplined, staying in fairways and knocking down putts.”

In a situation where the magnitude of the stage could have intimidated and hampered Ball State, the Cardinals shrugged off the pressure and played like it was a practice round at the Delaware Country Club.

“Our guys looked comfortable

out there,” Fleck said. “They didn’t get caught up in the who is who.”

But as day one progressed, Ball State regressed. After a blistering start, the Cardinals fell to 24th.

“The back nine is just the tougher part of the course,” Fleck said. “But it was a combination of things: the wind picked up and the greens got firmer.”

After staying close to under-par through the first nine holes, the Cardinals finished at 10-over.

Despite what seemed like a fall-off, the Cardinals’ 290 was the best round for a Ball State team at a NCAA Championships. Ball State’s round was also good enough to place it in front of five top-20 teams.

Senior Tony Lazzara led the team with the best round ever recorded by a Cardinal in the NCAA Championships with an even-par score of 70.

Senior Alex Stinson and junior Tyler Merkel both carded a

2-over 72, while senior Joe Gasser shot 76 and sophomore transfer McCormick Clouser shot a 77.

Ball State was forced to start the second round on the treacherous back nine in the afternoon — starting it at the place, in the conditions, where it had faltered on day one.

There was no miraculous, one-night remedy that righted the ship for the Cardinals. Ball State struggled once again, but it kept itself relevant by posting good scores on the front.

The team broke its own record by one stroke before the ink had dried, carding a collective 289.

Led once again by Lazzara, who broke his own recorded by posting a 69, the fifth-year senior embodied the team’s motto in another way.

In the fall season, Ball State searched for production from its fifth spot. Fleck even opened the spot up for an inter-team competition.

Lazzara did not make the top-five in a few events, but

has upped his game and has been a solid contributor over the second half of the season and, more importantly, the postseason.

“On this team, anybody on any given day can lead us,” Fleck said. “Tony is very deserving to shoot the rounds he has; he has worked hard all year and through his whole career.”

A 72 from Gasser, 74’s from McCormick and Stinson and 77 from Merkel complimented Lazzara.

Now Ball State is in 28th, but more disconcerting is the fact that it sits 19 strokes out of the top-eight. After Thursday’s final round of stroke play, the top eight teams will move on to match play.

Even though the team’s season has only 18 holes left, with seemingly nothing to gain, Fleck said the team will not just give in.

“The guys are a little disappointed, but they know they still have a lot to play for,” Fleck said.

Fleck said the team still has its sights on moving up the leaderboard and knocking off more elite teams. This also means the team will be playing for the future, to show what Ball State golf is about and where it wants to be.

Ball State will start what is likely to be its last round of the season Thursday at 7 a.m. with its new partners 29th St. Mary’s and 30th South Carolina.

DETROIT — A cause of death was not determined Wednesday after an autopsy on the body of a Michigan man who played Division II football and was one of the most successful quarterbacks in college history.

There was no obvious sign of heart trauma on Cullen Finnerty, Lake County Sheriff Robert Hilts said.

Finnerty’s body was discovered Tuesday in woods in western Michigan, 65 miles north of Grand Rapids, following a search by dozens of people, including former teammates, coaches and current players at Grand Valley State University in Allendale.

The 30-year-old was with family on a holiday weekend at a cottage in Lake County’s Webber Township. He disappeared Sunday while fishing a river separately from other relatives.

The autopsy “ruled out anything real obvious,” Hilts said in a phone interview. “There was nothing that stood out as to the cause of death ... We’re glad there is no foul play found at this time.”

He said more results could be available this week after an examination of the brain and other tests.

“We can’t move forward without that information,” the sheriff said.

Hilts said Finnerty had called his wife and expressed concern about being out on the river.

“He was just uncomfortable about his surroundings at the

time. He said he was getting off the river, and things went downhill from there,” Hilts said.

Finnerty’s body was found within a mile of where he disappeared. He had led Grand Valley State to more than 50 victories and three national titles, the last in 2006.

The searchers included Grand Valley coach Matt Mitchell, who was a defensive coach when Finnerty played, as well as former Lakers coach Chuck Martin, now offensive coordinator at Notre Dame.

Mitchell said he was “crushed” by Finnerty’s death, especially considering the family he left behind, a wife and two children.

“It was a pretty quiet bus

ride home,” he said.Finnerty, a star at Brighton

High School, accepted an offer to play at the University of Toledo but transferred to Grand Valley after the 2001 season. He briefly was a member of the Baltimore Ravens and later the Denver Broncos but never got a snap.

Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly was Grand Valley’s coach during the 2003 national championship season.

“It’s very chilling,” Kelly said Tuesday, before Finnerty’s body was found. “He led me to a national championship as a true freshman. When I left, coach Martin took over and won two more national championships. My heart goes out to the family and to his beautiful wife.”

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The director of the Atlanta Open tennis tournament has been picked as the new president of the 500 Festival in Indianapolis.

The festival organization that coordinates several activities surrounding the Indy 500 announced Wednesday that Bob Bry-ant would become its new leader effective June 10. Events man-aged by the festival group include the 500 Festival Mini-Mara-thon in early May and the Indy 500 parade traditionally hosted the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend.

Bryant replaces Kirk Hendrix, who led the 500 Festival for the past decade. The Indianapolis Star reports Hendrix stepped down this year to become president of the AAA Hoosier Motor Club.

Before he worked for the Atlanta tennis tournament, Bryant headed a marketing firm and spent five years at Turner Broad-casting and the Cartoon Network.

She is coming off of her second-consecutive Mid-American Conference Player of the Year award. In 2013, her Ball State sin-gle-season record 23 home runs moved her to first in program history and second in MAC history with 56 career home runs.

Gilbert is the stand-alone leader in MAC history with 183 career RBIs.

Gilbert led the Cardinals to a 37-17 overall record with an 18-3 mark in MAC play. Ball State also claimed its fourth regular season MAC title in the last five years.

She is just the second player in program history to earn NFCA All-Great Lakes Region First Team honors twice in a career. Gil-bert finished her 2013 campaign ranked in the top 22 nationally in nearly every offensive category.
