Ball State’s Board of Trustees is considering a policy that would eliminate smoking sections and ban all tobacco products from campus.

Vice President of Student Affairs Kay Bales rec-ommended a tobacco-free policy to the board Fri-day that would be effective as of Aug. 1 if passed

Baseball fans, business enthusiasts and future leaders alike will have the chance to learn from a sports legend known for being one of the most progressive baseball executives of all time.

A Conversation with “Moneyball’s” Billy Beane will take place at 7:30 p.m. in the John R. Emens

Auditorium as part of the Excellence in Leadership pro-gram. The conversa-tion will cover his career and work transforming the management of the Oakland Athletics. The event is free and open to the public.

Beane, the subject of the 2011 film “Moneyball” star-ring Brad Pitt, is the general manager of the Oakland Athlet-ics and was recently

Prospective candidates discuss platforms

| RACHEL PODNAR AND DEVAN FILCHAK [email protected]

Members from each executive slate running in the Student Government Association de-bated on WCRD 91.3 Sunday, but not without a few technical difficulties first.

One representative from each slate running for office spent Sunday afternoon discussing the campaign and platform points with Zach Hartley on the radio station.

Fusion secretary candidate Kylie Marcus, Cardinal United treasurer candidate Brandon Pope and Spark treasurer can-didate Kevin Mullaney repre-sented their respective slates during the prerecorded debate.

The debate was originally planned to be aired live, but Hartley, host and SGA debate

coordinator, said the show had to be prerecorded because WCRD aired a basketball game at the same time. The show was delayed about 25 minutes af-ter the end of the game due to technical difficulties.

The delay was only one ef-fect of the technical difficulties, involving a problem with files and only the first 15 minutes transferring to the studio. Dur-ing airing, the show cut out sev-eral times, and the debate was restarted multiple times. Mar-cus said she heard multiple in-stances when the station went completely silent as well.

Mullaney said he thinks the difficulties had an effect on the amount of people listening to the debate.

“Some people said that it was just a technical difficulty, but when they heard the introduc-

tion about three or four times, they had memorized that whole section of it all, but that was when they stopped tuning in,” he said.

Pope said the fewer amount of students being able to hear gives the slates more motiva-tion to push harder to get the word out to students.

“I understand that things do happen, but it is unfortunate because a lot of students didn’t get to hear what we had to say,” he said.

Eric Swinehart, WCRD gener-al manager, said the issues will be resolved for the broadcast of the rest of the debates, and the recorded debate from Sunday was posted to wcrd.net later that night.

“It got out all of the informa-tion that it needed to get out there, and it got fair represen-tation for each of the parties because our team was also tweeting out,” he said.

Hartley wanted to give the secretary and treasurer can-

didates a chance to speak as a way to diversify the discussion coming from the slates. In the past, the treasurer and secre-tary candidates are only heard at the full slate debate.

“We already host a debate with the presidential and vice presidential candidates,” Hart-ley said. “We don’t hear from the secretary and treasurer candidates by themselves. We wanted to break it down a bit and hear from them one-on-one instead of having the presi-dent at every single debate.”

Candidates were asked how their slates came together, how campaigning is going and how the range of SGA experi-ence within the group helps their slate.

Pope said he enjoyed his hec-tic schedule this past week, balancing campaigning with classes and work.

“I have been having a blast and I mean that,” Pope said. “I don’t see it as campaigning but just learning about how they run

and why they are so passionate about what they do. I’m just out learning about people and learn-ing about this campus more.”

Marcus, who did not know her slate members before join-ing them, said her personal favorite platform point is the emphasis on promoting BSU Dance Marathon.

“We need to bring awareness for this,” Marcus said. “I think it’s amazing students don’t know what it is. As a campus, we can raise even more to put our name out there and it can be a thing BSU is known for.”

Mullaney said Spark is an ac-ronym for the slates’ platform

points and represents what it is trying to accomplish.

“We want to spark a relation-ship with students and connect them back to SGA,” Mullaney said. “We want them to collab-orate at creating an awesome experience and bring everyone together. We all chose to come here and we all should have pride in it.”

Hartley said the debate helped start the conversation to lead up to the debates later this week.

“The goal of this was to break the ice and hear a little bit about the platforms and the individual candidates,” he said. “We’ll really dive into it [with the upcoming debates].”

All three candidates encour-aged listeners to attend the slate debate next week.

The presidential debate is to-night at 8 in the L.A. Pittenger Student Center Ballroom and the vice presidential debate will be 7 p.m. Tuesday at in the Student Center Ballroom.

DELAY ON MARRIAGE DEBATE NOT A SIGN OF IND. VICTORY

| THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

INDIANAPOLIS — Punting on gay marriage was probably the best move Senate President Pro Tem David Long and House Speaker Brian Bosma could have taken on an issue that might otherwise have shoved aside debate on workforce development and education spending, but it hardly clears the field of the issue.

Long and Bosma, who lead supermajorities in their respec-tive chambers, consulted their caucus members last week and came away with essentially the same argument they had been

making since the start of session: There’s no point in fighting a bit-ter battle until they see whether the U.S. Supreme Court rules state-level bans unconstitutional.

“It seems prudent for us to wait, given that the Supreme Court could find ours as well as many other statutes around the country, and constitutional amendments, unconstitutional according to the federal consti-tution, which would take prior-ity over our own,” Long said.

Opponents of writing the ban into the state constitution claimed a temporary victory, even though both leaders made it clear they will be pushing the issue next year if they get a green light from the Supreme Court.

With decisive Republican ma-jorities in both chambers and large numbers of Democrats who supported the ban when

it first came up for a vote in 2011, the measure is all but guaranteed to clear the General Assembly a second time if it is brought up for a vote.

That confidence was reflected by supporters of the ban like American Family Association of Indiana Executive Director Micah Clark, who declared: “A delay may be a disappoint-ment, but it is not a defeat.”

Assuming that the ultimate decision would come from vot-ers on Nov. 4, 2014, the gay marriage battle was always go-ing to play out in public.

Bosma has said he did not consult any polls in making the decision to wait a year, but he did try to poke holes in a public poll released in Decem-ber that showed a majority of residents oppose writing the ban into the constitution.

Known for having the ability to give the best two minute speech in the coun-try, the crowned National Elevator Pitch Champion offered advice to student leaders Saturday.

Motivational speaker and author Chris Westfall said at the All Campus Leadership Conference at the L.A. Pit-tenger Student Center that an “elevator pitch” is a persua-sive speech that introduces a topic in about the length of time it takes a New York City elevator to reach the top floor of a building.

“It’s a conversation that ends with listeners saying, ‘Tell me more,’” Westfall said. “The best conversation isn’t judged by what you do or say, it’s judged by what your listener does when you are done.”

The term comes from the studio days of Hollywood, when an aspiring screenwrit-er would pitch an idea for a screenplay to an executive in the elevator and sell it before reaching the top floor.

Westfall said the purpose of an elevator pitch is to an-swer the questions, “why” and “so what?”

He said the message to a potential employer should be, “It’s not my experiences that are great, it’s what I’ve learned from my experiences that could be great for you.”

Employers are more inter-ested in your potential than in your past, Westfall said.

“It is important to phrase ac-complishments as the matter to the audience ... Don’t just blurt out what is awesome,” Westfall said.

He said to start the speech with one of four phrases: “Have you ever noticed...,” “You know how...,” “I’ll never forget the time when...” and “Doesn’t it seem like...”

Those phrases bring the at-tention back to the audience and make them consider what they are looking for, Westfall said. To maintain fo-

DN PHOTO COREY OHLENKAMPChris Westfall talks about the importance of the “so what” in a pitch Saturday at the L.A. Pittenger Student Center. Westfall is the crowned National Elevator Champion and offered students an insight into better marketing themselves and their ideas.

Speaker urges students to make themselves heard

cus on the employer, imagine an empty chair.

“The empty chair is reserved for your customer’s customer,” Westfield said.

Senior telecommunications major Brittnee Bullington said she will ask herself “so what?” next time she is promoting her-self to a potential employer.

“It’s easy to think of all your ac-complishments, but it’s difficult to think of ‘so what, why is that important?’” Bullington said.

“We’re talking about leadership, and to be a leader you have to be able to sell yourself to have people follow you, and this gave us the chance to do that.”

Dylan Paul, a junior political science international studies ma-jor, said he will apply the skills he learned after graduation.

“It just showed you how to market yourself better and how to advance your image once you get into your professional world,” Paul said.

$1 million award set for former cop

| THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES — Seeking leads in a massive manhunt, Los Angeles authorities on Sunday put up a $1 million reward for information leading to the ar-rest of Christopher Dorner, the former Los Angeles police of-ficer suspected in three killings.

LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa announced the reward at a news conference at Los Angeles Police Department headquarters.

“Hopefully, the reward will motivate people that may be involved with assisting him or might be reluctant to talk to us to call us and to put an end to this,” Sgt. Rudy Lopez said ahead of the announcement.

Meanwhile, authorities said camping gear was found along with weapons inside Dorner’s burned-out pickup truck. The vehicle found Thursday in the ski resort town of Big Bear was so charred that investigators couldn’t be more specific about the nature of its contents, Lo-pez said.

Also Sunday, police investi-gated a taunting phone call that may have been made by Dorner to the father of the woman they believe he killed last week. Two law enforcement officers who requested anonymity because of the ongoing investigation told The Associated Press they are trying to determine if the call days after the killing was made by the 33-year-old fugi-tive or a man posing as him.

SWAT teams with air sup-port and bloodhounds fanned out for the fourth day to search for Dorner, who has vowed re-venge against several former LAPD colleagues whom he blames for ending his career.

The effort was significantly scaled back as the weekend went on, with 25 officers and a single helicopter looking for clues in the forest and going door-to-door at some 600 cab-ins in the San Bernardino moun-tains, about 80 miles northeast of downtown Los Angeles.

On Saturday, Chief Charlie Beck said officials would re-examine the allegations by Dorner that his law enforce-ment career was undone by racist colleagues. While he promised to hear out Dorner if he surrenders, Beck stressed that he was ordering a review of his 2007 case because he takes the allegation of racism

in his department seriously.“I do this not to appease a

murderer. I do it to reassure the public that their police depart-ment is transparent and fair in all the things we do,” the chief said in a statement.

Authorities suspect Dorner in a series of attacks in Southern California over the past week that have left three people dead. Authorities say he has vowed revenge against several former colleagues. The killings and threats that Dorner allegedly made in an online rant have led police to provide protection to 50 families, Beck said.

A captain who was named a target in the manifesto posted on Facebook told the Orange County Register he has not stepped outside his house since he learned of the threat.

“From what I’ve seen of [Dorner’s] actions, he feels he can make allegations for injus-tice and justify killing people and that’s not reasonable,” said Capt. Phil Tingirides, who chaired a board that stripped Dorner of his badge. “The end never justifies the means.”

Investigators have been exam-ining the truck to determine if it broke down or was set ablaze as a diversion. Police say the truck had a broken axle. Investigators are trying to determine whether it was already broken when they found it, or whether it was dam-aged when it was towed away.

Also, newly released surveil-lance video showed Dorner toss-ing several items into a Dump-ster behind an auto parts store in National City on Monday. The store’s manager told FOX5 in San Diego that an employee found a magazine full of bullets, a mili-tary belt and a military helmet. Majid Yahyai said he and the em-ployee took the items across the street to a police station.

On Friday night, authorities served a search warrant and col-lected evidence from a Buena Park storage unit as part of their investigation. Irvine police Lt. Ju-lia Engen wouldn’t elaborate on the nature of the evidence or say who had rented the unit.

Earlier Friday, another war-rant was served at a La Palma house belonging to Dorner’s mother. Officers collected 10 bags of evidence, including five electronic items.

In his online manifesto, Dorner vowed to use “every bit of small arms training, demolition, ord-nance and survival training I’ve been given” to bring “warfare” to the LAPD and its families.

Dorner served in the Navy, earning a rifle marksman rib-bon and a pistol expert medal.

Authorities search for officer involved in vengeance killings

In an effort to reduce the number of fake IDs, Indiana State Excise Police started “Cops in Shops” in October 2012, in which officers go un-dercover as employees in li-quor, grocery and drug stores.

Thomas asks all bars and li-quor stores to have a UV light, a flashlight and an ID check-ing guide. He said most places do, and excise police are also trying to reach out to grocery stores and other places that sell alcohol by providing exten-sive training.

The UV lights show the UV se-curity features, or holograms, which feature symbols such as the state seal. Thomas, who catches about 25 IDs annually, said the fake seals are an effi-cient way to identify a fake ID because they are obviously low quality and unreadable.

Along with having a UV light, flashlight and ID checking guide, Johnson has employee meetings to keep everybody updated on the best ways to find fakes and to communicate on trends.

Johnson and Thomas said they also look for basic suspicions, like an out of state ID, ID thick-ness, smoothness and overall quality, as well as more person-al signs like nervousness.

Stinson has only been caught once, in Bloomington when a

clerk accused him of having a fake ID when he scanned it. The clerk said his ID wasn’t supposed to scan, although it came up with his information. He took his card back and left.

Johnson said liquor stores can’t legally confiscate IDs, but they can call the police.

“That is theft, that is some-body’s personal property,” Johnson said. “Now, are they going to argue with us, are they going to call the cops? They would be in more trouble than we would.”

Stinson said since then, he shops only in Muncie and he keeps an eye out for excise.

“I think it’s what kept me here longer, just being smart about it,” he said. “I am just very careful and constantly paranoid. [Excise police] freak me ... out. I just know they are looking for me. I’m constantly checking my mir-rors and looking around me.”

Stinson is also careful to keep his business from his parents by using his credit card to pay for mixers, that way his parents don’t ques-tion why he doesn’t need the card and has so much cash.

For Stinson, the paranoia is worth the money he is mak-ing. On a good day he said he gets about $120 cash profit through buying and selling bottles, and also through his “juice business.”

To make his “juice” he takes four two-liter bottles and pours soda out of each into a fifth empty bottle. When they are all full to the top of the la-bel, he then adds nine shots to each one.

He usually sells about 20 bot-tles a night, and spends $15 on materials, including $10 for a half gallon of Skol. His average profit for juice is $80 per night.

“It’s a sustainable job, that’s why I was doing it for a long time,” he said. “I’m just trying to make a living. [Students] in the dorms are fiending for some alcohol. One guy will hit me up and will literally buy for his entire floor.”

Stinson’s pricing varies, al-though he does ask for a $5 tip for delivering the alcohol discretely.

“It depends totally on who they are and how much I want to charge them at the time,” he said. “They don’t know as much about alcohol as I do, obviously, and what I can get it for. Like, if I knew I was selling to a group of chicks, I knew that I could get away with it. I rip people off because I’m going through bulls--t, ... I’m putting [myself] on the line.”

Indiana law classifies using a fake ID as a Class A misde-meanor, which is punishable with up to a year in jail, Thom-as said.

He said when a student tries

to buy alcohol with a fake ID they already have five charges against them: minor in a tav-ern, minor in possession of an alcoholic beverage, possession of false ID on you with purpose of procuring alcohol, posses-sion of government issued false ID and making a false state-ment of age.

For Johnson, the stakes are also high with a $500 fine for serving a minor, a $1,000 fine for a second offense and being shut down for two violations within a year.

Thomas said he finds the most fake IDs at the bars.

“We’ve had situations where we are escorting someone out of the bar in handcuffs and everyone is cheering because they don’t want to be drinking with 18-year-olds,” Thomas said.

Johnson doesn’t think own-ing a fake ID is worth the risk or money.

“I wouldn’t waste my mon-ey, and here’s why ... you know someone who is 21,” Johnson said. “Don’t go out and spend the money, don’t go and send your informa-tion over to a foreign com-pany, don’t run the risk of getting fined. You’re going to have underage drinking, you can’t stop it.”

Stinson said if his ID were to be taken away, he would just get another one.

Shortage idles 20 ethanol plants

| THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ST. LOUIS — The persistent drought is taking a toll on pro-ducers of ethanol, with corn becoming so scarce that nearly two dozen ethanol plants have been forced to halt production.

The Renewable Fuels Associa-tion, an ethanol industry trade group, provided data to The Associated Press showing that 20 of the nation’s 211 ethanol plants have ceased production over the past year, including five

in January. Most remain open, with workers spending time performing maintenance-type tasks. But ethanol production won’t likely resume until after 2013 corn is harvested in late August or September.

Industry experts don’t expect a shortage — millions of barrels are stockpiled and the remain-ing 191 plants are still produc-ing. Still, there is growing con-cern about what happens if the drought lingers.

“There’s a lot of anxiety in the industry right now about the drought and a lot of folks watching the weather and hop-ing and praying this drought is going to break,” said Geoff Coo-per, vice president for research

and analysis for the Renewable Fuels Association.

“If we get back to a normal pattern and normal corn crop, then I think the industry is in good shape,” Cooper said. “But if this drought persists and it has the same effect on this coming corn crop, then we’ve got a problem.”

America’s ethanol industry has taken off in the past decade. Plants in 28 states produce more than 13 billion gallons of ethanol each year, Cooper said.

Roughly 95 percent of U.S. ethanol is made from corn. The National Corn Growers Associa-tion estimates that 39 percent of the U.S. corn crop is used.

Corn producers had high

hopes going into 2012. Record harvests were predicted.

Then the weather dried up. The drought began before planting and never stopped. Even though more acres were planted in 2012 compared to 2011, 13 percent less corn was harvested.

Availability of locally pro-duced corn is vital for ethanol plants since having it shipped in is too expensive. To make matters worse, the drought hit hardest in many of the top corn-growing states.

Six of the 20 ethanol plants that stopped production are in Nebraska, two in Indiana and two in Minnesota. Ten states have seen one plant affected.

Lack of corn shuts down production; 2 close in Indiana

according to a survey conduct-ed by the university in 2007.

Sixteen percent of respon-dents said they have used to-bacco products in the past 30 days, making them the hard-est hit by any regulations ban-ning tobacco use.

President Jo Ann Gora said she wants to build on the cur-rent policy of having designat-ed smoke areas on campus.

The proposed plan bans all tobacco products such as chew-ing tobacco and electronic ciga-rettes, making Ball State more than a “smoke-free zone.”

The task force also wants to

increase the fine for smoking outside of designated areas from $50 to $100.

At least 200 smoking cita-tions have been written since the 2007 plan was enacted.

The board meeting also updat-ed Athletic Progress Rate scores.

Athletic director Bill Scholl said no team has dropped be-low the 930 sanction line in the most recent 4-year rate.

The Ball State football team also recorded its highest APR rate in the past three years.

Gora also mentioned a per-spective partnership with General Motors that would fund a study on the sale of certified carbon emissions.

Like against Bowling Green a month ago, Ball State start-ed in an ugly shooting slump, opening the game in an 0-of-11 hole from the field. At the 12:20 mark, junior Katie Mur-phy finally got Ball State on the board with a layup, assisted by Brandy Woody.

The officiating was a struggle for Ball State in Sunday’s game. Toledo shot almost double (31-16) the free throws that Ball State did.

Sallee was constantly in the officials’ ears, arguing for or against certain calls.

“I’m going to ask my team to fight their tails off,” he said. “Then you bet I’m going to fight my tail off. When I think that my team’s going hard, and they de-serve better, I’m going to fight like cats and dogs to do it. That’s probably never going to change.”

Just as she has all season, Jack-son brought an energy boost to her team when she first entered the game. She had 10 points at halftime, and was shooting 50

percent from the floor on 3-of-6 shooting. Without her, the rest of the team shot a combined 4-of-24 from the field in the first half.

Jackson led the team in scor-ing with 16 points, two shy of her career-high of 18.

The loss was emotional for two of the upperclassmen and leaders on the team.

“On the way up, Shanee’ was in tears. I was fighting back tears,” Woody said. “I guess we’ll get them when it counts.”

Despite the loss, Jackson is con-fident in her team.

“We’re getting better,” the se-nior said. “Last year — I don’t want to talk about last year — people probably wouldn’t have thought that we’d even be in the game. We’re definitely getting better each day.”

After three mediocre confer-ence seasons, Jackson was hap-py to see the Ball State crowd show up for a big game.

“Seeing that crowd in there, I was just like, ‘Finally. Finally,’” she said.

Unbeaten run ends for BSU in 3-0 loss

| DAVID POLASKI STAFF REPORTER @DavidPolaski

Brandy Woody and Shanee’ Jackson sat in utter silence, seemingly in shock at what had happened a few minutes earlier.

Ball State erased a 16 point second half deficit against 21-2 Toledo using deep three point-ers from Jackson and Brittany Carter, and then took the lead on a pair of free throws from Woody as Worthen Arena erupted in noise.

Just a few minutes later, To-ledo took the lead back and won 68-64, leaving players stunned and shaken at the re-sult.

It was Ball State’s seventh game this season that was decided by five points or less. The team’s record in those games is 3-4.

Jackson and Woody led Ball State with 17 and 15 points respectively, with most of those points coming in the second half. Ball State trailed by 16 at halftime, and had scored just 21 points.

They more than doubled that by scoring 43 in the sec-ond half, but it wasn’t enough. The Cardinals failed to get stops on defense early in the second half, which made the climb uphill even greater.

“Toledo came out and punched us in the mouth a little bit and we staggered,” coach Brady Sallee said. “You just can’t do that against a good basketball team and ex-pect to win.”

Against the strongest defen-sive team in the Mid-American Conference, Ball State commit-ted 22 turnovers and played the end of the game with just six active players. For a few minutes, it was only five, be-cause Taylor Miller went down with a left knee injury, Katie Murphy limped off the court after hurting her ankle, and

Shelbie Justice fouled out.A team that’s been on the

winning and losing side mul-tiple times, Sallee hopes that games like these help build down the road. Although close losses are painful, they can provide valuable experi-ence to coaches and players.

Sallee also said that although the loss hurts, it isn’t some-thing that can be dwelled on.

“For us, we’re going to have to play next Saturday any-way, that doesn’t change,” Sallee said.

Woody thinks the loss will only motivate her to work harder.

“Knowing that we were so close to being No. 1, and that we deserve to be up there,” Woody said. “Nothing more would make me want to go to work than that.”

Ball State sits in second place in the MAC West at 8-2, owning the tiebreaker over Central Michigan.

Jackson was disappointed by the loss, but is glad there’s more basketball left to be played. A senior, Jackson’s days of wearing the Ball State uniform are numbered, espe-cially her home games.

“We definitely wanted to win but we came short,” Jackson said. “[We] definitely have to work on some things still, but we’re all still in it.”

Woody stressed that although the loss is tough, there will be more chances against Toledo. Ball State will face them in the season finale, and could po-tentially play them again in the MAC tournament, which starts in just a few weeks.

Despite the loss, Sallee was proud of how his team re-sponded to the adversity. Some teams may have crumpled at halftime, and been blown out, but he said his team showed heart when their backs were against the wall.

“This team’s not going to get knocked down, and definitely not going to get knocked out,” Sallee said.

Woody and Jackson looked up, and nodded in agreement.

Team shorthanded after two injuries during home loss

| EVAN BARNUM-STEGGERDA CHIEF REPORTER @Slice_of_Evan

In Ball State and Grand Can-yon’s second match in as many days, one team came out with a high intensity level, cohesive passing and a locked in men-tality. It was not the previously nation’s last undefeated team; it was Grand Canyon which had just suffered a five set loss to Ball State the day before.

Whether it was two players

looking at each other and then the ball hitting the ground or putting serves into the net, the Cardinals never looked com-fortable nor confident. Ball State played from behind all night, never leading in the first or third set and sparingly in the second, losing in a 3-0 sweep (20-25, 24-26, 17-25).

“I think we were definitely a little bit off,” coach Joel Walton said. “Our guys backed down a little bit, and that is disappoint-ing to say. Grand Canyon just looked hungrier.”

Ball State and Grand Canyon seem to have a rivalry beginning after recent matches. Ball State knocked Grand Canyon out of

the Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association confer-ence tournament last season, and then the words that were exchanged in Saturday night’s five-set match between the two teams showed the matchup is becoming competitive.

“It’s not typically a rivalry, but I think it’s going to be-come one because of the talk-ing through the net, and some things that were said after the match,” senior outside hitter Greg Herceg said.

Herceg paced the Cardinals for the second night in a row with his match-leading 18 kills, and is in contention to win the Midwestern Intercollegiate Vol-

leyball Association’s Offensive Player of the Week by recording 5.38 kills per set.

Herceg continuously tried to make his success contagious whether it was leading by ex-ample or with vocal force. But despite Herceg’s attempts, Grand Canyon never looked worried or out of control.

Grand Canyon didn’t have one player explode for big num-bers, it had a number of differ-ent players do different things effectively. Ball State’s usually reliable defense struggled with Grand Canyon’s attack and only recorded eight blocks as team.

Walton tried to shuffle things around, and give his team some

kind of spark. Graham McIl-vaine was subbed in for Dan Wichmann at setter, and Shane Witmer, Jack Lesure, Urim Demirovski and Matt Suther-land were all given chances in the season-long search for someone to compliment Herceg from the left side.

“We fell short in a lot of areas, especially our left sides being able to generate some sort of of-fense both in-system and out-of-system,” Walton said. “We really wanted to get our left-sides go-ing, and that just didn’t happen.

“We need different players to step up in big moments, and there was definitely a lacking desire tonight, and that’s some-

thing the guys have got to be ready to fix this week.”

The loss will put Ball State’s chances of being ranked in the top 15 on hold for now, but the team hopes it will motivate the team for the rest of the season.

“Hopefully the guys are pretty upset about this loss,” Herceg said. “It’s more motivation es-pecially for conference matches to go out and win and show ev-eryone who we really belong going into the postseason.”

Ball State will have a chance sooner than usual with a quick turnaround as IPFW will come to Muncie on Wednesday for a mid-week match, the first for the team this season.

Folly Moon creates culinary competition

| CHRIS MCAULEY STAFF REPORTER [email protected]

Nacho cheese, pizza sauce, pineapple, coleslaw, tortilla chips, eggs, peanut butter, jalapenos and “pig candy.” Folly Moon’s “Name that Folly Burger” contest has generated creative buzz from customers

who want their recipes to be a downtown Muncie staple. Other ideas include a half-turkey, half-beef hybrid and a burger almost completely con-structed of bacon.

For the contest, people can submit recipes for new gourmet burgers to potentially be added to the menu through social me-dia. Folly Moon’s goal is to gather around 40 burger recipes that will be voted on by cooks and managers of the business.

“We have gotten very many interesting submissions,” in-

tern coordinator of Folly Moon Stephanie Schroeder said.

Folly Moon has been open three months and is owned by former Doc’s Music Hall owner Mike Martin. Schroeder said since the final letters were taken down from Doc’s marquis and the last show came to a close in October 2012, Folly Moon’s aim is to be a source of live entertain-ment and cuisine downtown.

“Ever since we started serv-ing burgers, we have had a lot of feedback from customers to add more choices to the menu,”

Schroeder said. Schroeder said the contest is

a fun way to see what people want; while many may know that Folly Moon is a bar, not as many know about its food.

“Some customers have men-tioned that it doesn’t even feel like you’re in Muncie when they are here,” she said. “They say that it’s more like a bar in Chicago.”

Although Folly Moon is small-er than Doc’s, Schroeder said it has a classier feel.

“The downtown area is one

of the things that separates Muncie from other towns in our area,” she said.

Once the winning burger is chosen, it will be offered for $5 this weekend at Folly Moon.

FUN. TAKES THE GRAMMYS

BY STORM Group takes home double win while music feuds abound

| THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES — Fun. won two major awards midway through Sunday night’s Grammys, winning song of the year for the transcendent anthem “We Are Young” and best new artist.

“I don’t know what I was thinking when I wrote the chorus to this song,” lead singer Nate Ruess, 30, joked. “This is in HD, everyone can see our faces, and we are not very young.”

They also performed their new single “Car-ry On.” Fun.’s run — and a surprising vic-tory by Gotye for record of the year — took some of the luster off Frank Ocean’s evening, but there’s no question all eyes were on him as he won two awards and blew up Twitter. Only Chris Brown, with whom Ocean scuffled last month, remained seated as the 25-year-old R&B winner walked to the stage during a standing ovation. Ocean beat Brown, who at-tended with girlfriend Rihanna, for the urban contemporary album award that both were nominated for.

Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys appeared headed to an overall win on music’s biggest night with four wins, including producer of the year.

Gotye, Jay-Z and Kanye West had three wins — sharing one award with Ocean — along with Skrillex, and a slew of nominees had two wins apiece, including former best new artist winner Esperanza Spalding.

“We Are Young” helped Fun. earn a starring role at these Grammys with nominations in all four major categories after the release of their first album, matched only by Christopher Cross in 1981, and six overall. The band turned in a powerful early performance of “Carry On” as a downpour on stage began mid-song and gui-tarist Jack Antonoff got a kiss from girlfriend “Girls” creator Lena Dunham after winning.

But Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used To Know,” featuring Kimbra, was 2012’s top-selling song and just as omnipresent. He also won best al-ternative album for “Making Mirrors” and best pop/duo performance for “Somebody.” Prince presented him with the record of the year trophy and the Australian paid tribute to The Purple One’s influence.

Auerbach took the early lead thanks to a strong run in the pre-telecast awards show and had only lost once midway through the night.

His Black Keys took best rock performance for “Lonely Boy” during the main telecast and earlier in the day won best rock song for “Lonely Boy” and best rock album for “El Camino” with bandmate Patrick Carney, and Auerbach was named producer of the year. He also got an assist — but no trophy — on Dr. John’s best blues album “Locked Down,” which he produced.

Other winners included Rihanna, Beyonce, Mumford & Sons and Taylor Swift, who opened the show as the Mad Hatter. Swift dressed in white top hat, tails, shorts and tall boots dur-ing the surreal version of her hummable hit “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” that included a troop of mime clowns and a guy

on a tricycle with a flame-thrower attached.The singer pretended to talk to the offend-

ing boyfriend on the phone: “I’m busy open-ing the Grammys and we’re never getting back together.”

Justin Timberlake debuted new tracks “Suit & Tie” with Jay-Z and “Pusher Love” in a perfor-mance that was broadcast in retro black and white. Rihanna and the extended Marley family paid tribute to Bob Marley. Sting and Bruno Mars helped each other out on their hits “Locked Out of Heaven” and “Walking on the Moon.” Elton John and Ed Sheeran teamed on “The A Team” and Miguel and Wiz Khalifa joined forces teamed up on “Adorn.” Alicia Keys played drums during Maroon 5’s “Day-light,” before Adam Levine’s band backed her on “Girl on Fire.”

Adele won the first award of the night on the main telecast, tak-ing home best pop solo perfor-mance for “Set Fire to the Rain (Live),” in one of the night’s least-surprising moments — though the singer was some-what taken aback.

“I just wanted to be part of the night, because I loved it last year, obviously,” she said of winning a record-tying six awards in 2012.

Carrie Underwood won best country solo performance for “Blown Away,” Zac Brown Band won best country album for “Uncaged” and Kelly Clarkson turned in the night’s most exuberant acceptance speech after winning best pop vocal album for “Stronger.” After hugging much of the front row and momentarily getting stuck to Miranda Lambert’s dress, Clarkson charged the stage with a giant smile.

“Miguel, I don’t know who the hell you are, but we need to sing together,” she said. “I mean, good God. That was the sexiest dancing I’ve ever seen.”

Skrillex won best dance recording for “Bangarang,” featuring Sirah, best dance/electronica album for “Bangarang” and best remixed re-cording a year after winning those same awards in his first appearance at the Grammys.

“You know what, I thought I’d get used to it, but I tripped over every word when I was up there,” Skrillex said of his acceptance speeches. “I felt like I just wanted a pool of ice wa-ter and just couldn’t even breathe or think. It was crazy. I think it was even crazier than last year.”

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is a 9 -- There’s some instability at work. You get the necessary data. Check it through twice, and read between the lines. Use imagination. A discovery could reveal impracticalities. Take a trip.

Gemini (May 21-June 21) Today is a 9 -- Express your vision with optimism. Others bring amazing ideas; let them take leadership. Spend less money partying, and enjoy a fuller wallet. A key relationship grows stronger.

Cancer (June 22-July 22) Today is a 7 -- A lofty scheme may encounter difficulties when you and a partner disagree. Fix something before it breaks, clean up or ignore a thoughtless remark. You can work it out.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is an 8 -- Listen carefully to someone who doesn’t make sense initially. Choose love over money, and resist the temptation to splurge. Keep a low profile. Your admirable discipline gets rewarded.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is an 8 -- Imagine how the next project gets moving. Some ideas are too expensive, so be creative. Smooth rough edges before proceeding. You solve it by edit-ing down to basics.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Today is an 8 -- Dress for public action. Get the agree-ment down in writing, and provide what was requested. Cut superfluous costs. Make plans with your sweetheart for later.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is a 9 -- Humility is a quality worth practicing. It’s easy to push ideas forward now, but there’s no need to rush. Thank others for their input. Back opinions with facts.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)Today is a 9 -- Put off travel and avoid an interroga-tion; take risks later. Let your partner carry the load for a bit, but stay active. A spiritual experience feels miraculous.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)Today is a 9 -- Accept a sweet deal. Go ahead and get yourself a little treat. Increase your personal space by decreasing stuff. Cultivate compassion for others by counting your blessings.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is an 8 -- Restate your intentions, and stand up for what’s right. Work interrupts your research. You’re gaining respect. Wait a while before gathering up the loot. Provide a spiritual perspective.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is a 9 -- You identify a new starting point and make a bold move. Let your partner balance the books. It’s good timing for an important conversation. Listen to the senior member. Acknowledge ac-complishment.

Don’t forget your friend’s birthday!

If you’re not a smoker at Ball State, it can be easy to forget just how many people frequent the des-ignated areas across campus.

But with an estimated 16 percent of students and 24 percent of staff at Ball State listed as smokers, the passage of a tobacco ban, which would go into effect Aug. 1, would be one of the biggest changes current students at Ball State would experience in years.

We just hope the Board of Trustees, after hear-ing the recommendation in its meeting on Friday, will consider every angle of the ban and how it would affect campus life.

Vice President of Student Affairs Kay Bales and the campus task force behind the recom-mendation for the ban certainly have good in-tentions. They want to decrease health care expenses for Ball State students, which on

average costs $1,700 for users, and create better campus wellness initiatives.

But the plan has a few glaring holes, even after it was presented to the board.

Since 2008 when the board adopted the rule to allow smoking at only designated areas on campus, only 200 citations have been issued for violations against the policy. If a complete tobacco ban is put in place, the students and staff who use the smoking areas won’t just go away. They’ll find different places to hide and light up, meaning Ball State and the Univer-sity Police Department will have to decide how heavily the ban should be enforced.

And the use of tobacco isn’t just limited to ciga-rettes. Some students still use chewing tobacco, and more may turn to it as a substitute if the ban is passed. Chewing tobacco is much easier to hide,

meaning the school must find a way to track it and make sure students aren’t using it on campus.

Ball State already brought up this issue in the meeting Friday, but it needs to be further analyzed by the time the ban is up for vote.

President Jo Ann Gora asked Friday how much the ban would impact Ball State staff. When the board reconvenes on March 22 to decide whether or not to pass the ban, how it affects the univer-sity staff should just as important in the ruling as how it affects students.

Before anything is set in stone, the board must consider these issues and know how it will solve them. No matter if Ball State is made a tobac-co-free university or designated smoking areas still exist next semester, the board still needs to make sure its decision benefits every person here, user or non-user.

his peers, the people work-ing for him, weren’t so sure. Billy took a risk and it paid off. That’s a great message for everybody. Nothing risked, nothing gained.”

The conversation will be led by Mark Montieth, host of “One on One” on 1070 The Fan.

Montieth said the con-versation will encompass the making of “Moneyball,” Beane’s career and his lead-ership strategies.

“I hope [students] will see an example of how things can be done differently than conventional wisdom dic-tates and sometimes you have to have the courage and conviction and be cre-ative not to do things the way they’ve always been done,” Montieth said.

Students will have the op-portunity to ask questions during the event. Ten stu-dents from Excellence in Leadership will also have the chance to meet with Beane in a small group before his speaking engagement.

One of those students,

BEANE: ‘Moneyball’ inspiration to visit| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 freshman pre-med major Ethan

Balog, watched “Moneyball” af-ter he found out he would meet Beane. After learning more about his story, he said he is looking forward to the chance to ask him questions.

“I want to ask him about how he feels about how he has changed baseball,” Balog said. “Before you worked for good players and you bought players instead of wins, and he made it into a completely different sys-tem. I find it fascinating so just to meet him and ask him about creating that. That’s going to be awesome.”

Self-professed huge baseball fan junior accounting ma-

jor Tara Cahill hopes to work in baseball someday and is looking forward to speaking with Beane.

Isaacs said when he told Cahill last semester that Beane would be coming to campus, her eyes lit up.

“When I chose Ball State, I never thought I would get the opportunity to talk to, or even see someone like Billy Beane,” Cahill said. “The fact that I get to meet him, and the opportunity just came about so quickly — it’s exactly like Billy Beane’s story — some-thing unexpected but it’s go-ing to be a great experience no matter what.”
