INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The number of Indiana flu deaths this season has risen to 10, up from seven at this time last week.

A weekly health department report says eight of those who died were older than 50 and two were under 18.

Health officials reported four influ-enza outbreaks in long-term care facili-ties, but didn’t say whether any deaths occurred there.

An epidemiologist said earlier this week that most of the flu circulating now is an H3N2 virus that tends to be more severe than some other strains.

Doctors are encouraging people to get flu shots to protect against the strain that is circulating. People de-velop immunity about two weeks after receiving the vaccine.This year’s outbreak is regarded as one of the worst in several years.

Obama to “take action” on gun violence issues

| EMMA KATE FITTES CHIEF REPORTER emfittes@bsu.edu

Indiana Higher Education Commissioner Teresa Lub-bers called the students, col-leges and the state to action

to “increase the return on investment of higher educa-tion” on Wednesday.

Lubbers presented sug-gestions for action in her speech during the first State of Higher Education

Address that Emcee Amos Brown refered to as “pro-vocative.”

“Our bottom line is ensur-ing that more Hoosiers earn quality degrees and creden-tials, on time, and at the lowest possible cost,” Lub-bers said.

STUDENT RESPONSIBILITYLubbers said students should

take three steps to make col-lege worth the money.

To Lubbers, students should begin college with a clear plan before they start a specific area of study.

She said they should also borrow wisely and repay responsibly when manag-ing their loan debt.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is “deter-mined to take action” on gun violence, his vice president

said Wednesday as a high-profile round of White House meetings began in search of new policies after last month’s Connecticut school shooting.

Vice President Joe Biden told reporters that the shoot-ing of 20 children, ages 6 and 7, with a legally purchased, high-powered rifle weighed down the nation’s conscience

“in a way like nothing I’ve seen in my career.”

While Biden met with vic-tims groups and gun safety organizations ahead of this month’s deadline to send proposals to Congress, a con-tentious debate was emerg-ing on just what gun safety should be.

In a way, the Ball State men’s volleyball team’s season-opening match on Saturday won’t be just its first contest of the season. It will be a tribute.

Once the first serve flies over the net, Ball State will begin its 50th season in the pro-gram’s decorated NCAA history, dating back a vision that was set in motion by a young coach with a love for volleyball.

Don Shondell, the patriarch of a historic

volleyball laden family, founded Ball State’s men’s volleyball team in 1962, 10 years after graduating from the same university. Lead-ing up to the team’s match against St. Francis on Saturday, the program has amassed 1,067 wins since its founding. Only one other team has won at least 1,000.

Credit the program’s continuity within its coaching staff for its history of success. Through 50 seasons of NCAA play, only three

individuals have been head coaches of the team. Shondell was relieved Marvin Grey for the 1965 season to earn his doctorate. For 34 years, Shondell built the program from the ground up, and in 1998 he handed the reigns over to current head coach Joel Walton.

“This has lent us real continuity and lets us maintain strong ties with alumni,” Walton said.

The Ball State women’s basketball team will begin conference play tonight against Miami (OH). Ball State is 3-10 on the year and has lost 7 of its last eight.

David Owsley Museum of Art is holding an informational meeting today about how to become a volunteer educator and tour guide, also known as a docent.

A report shows that the U.S. has more violent deaths per year than any wealthy country. One blame the report cites is the trend of owning firearms and storing them at home.

Although hosting events in the Village may be beneficial to local businesses, The Cup owner Mar-tin George said it’s the integration of art into the community that matters, not the extra sales.

As a frequent hub to the art group The Glue & Scissors Soci-ety’s first-Friday events, The Cup will once again open its doors to artists and their audiences on Fri-day. George’s personal interest in the arts motivates him to host the events and in turn, share his inter-est with the Muncie community.

“I’m doing everything I can to foster new artists and encourage events like that to happen in the Village and connect it to campus,” George said. “I’m glad it’s helping the businesses, but what’s impor-tant is that it’s good for the com-munity, because in the long run, what’s good for the community is good for the business.”

Local businesses Be Here Now and Village Green Records have also acted as venues to Glue & Scissors events.

While past Glue & Scissors events featured mainly live mu-sic and visual art spanning from themes such as grayscale, print and mixed media, Friday’s event will also focus on poetry readings from six local writers.

Among the writers is senior cre-ative writing major Elysia Smith, who will be reading a few pieces from her chapbook, a pocket-sized booklet, titled “Glaucoma.” Smith said “Glaucoma” was written as a perspective on divorce, but prom-ises potential listeners that “it’s not as whiny as it sounds.”

As the group’s vice president, or as she calls it, “just a loud mouth who’s excited about her communi-ty,” Smith not only makes artistic contributions to the events, but also leads the group in planning and marketing.

“I personally feel that the shows that Glue & Scissors put on are a valiant and honest attempt to reinte-grate art into our community,” Smith

said. “With the downswing of art in public spaces like schools, it’s impor-tant to recognize and celebrate the opportunities that the sharing of self expression can be.”

The event begins at 4 p.m. at The Cup with a pre-show featuring jazz music and Happy Medusa, a local self-proclaimed “progressive pirate folk” band.

The readings begin at 7 p.m. at The Cup followed by an afterparty at Be Here Now showcasing four bands including the psychedelic five-piece from Fort Wayne Heav-en’s Gateway Drugs and Indianap-olis surf punk band No Coast. Ten to fifteen pieces of visual art will be debuted and decorate the walls of Be Here Now for the remainder of the month.

For Glue & Scissors President Phil Diaz said he hopes that Fri-day’s turnout is just as success-ful as past events. Diaz said the amount of people that attend al-ways surmounts his expectations. With almost 100 people attend-ing the event on Facebook, Diaz

thinks this Friday’s event will at-tract the largest audience yet.

Since past events highlighted a specific theme, Diaz said he’s ex-cited to see the audience’s reac-tion to the diverse pool of submit-ted art for this month’s event.

“This time we decided to take any-thing we can to show our community that there is all sorts of artwork out there,” Diaz said. “There will be a lot of different mediums and themes hung up in Be Here Now.”

Senior social work major Ange-lina Zulas is attending the event on Friday to support local art and music and see her friends for the first time since winter break be-gan. As her second Glue & Scissors event, Zulas said these events act as creative stimulation for her and the community.

“Muncie is a city waiting for vi-brant people to thrive within it,” Zulas said. “Hosting shows like Glue & Scissors motivates people to turn off their televisions and get out in the world. It inspires people to be creative and to mingle.”

Oprah to ask Armstrong about drug allegations

| THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Lance Armstrong has agreed to an interview with Oprah Winfrey and is to address allegations he used performance-enhanc-ing drugs during a career in which he won seven Tour de France titles.

According to Winfrey’s web-site on Tuesday, this will be a “no holds-barred interview.” It will be the first with Arm-strong since his cycling career crumbled under the weight of a massive report by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency. The re-port detailed accusations of drug use by Armstrong and teammates on his U.S. Postal Service teams.

It’s unclear if the interview at Armstrong’s home in Austin, Texas, has already been taped.

Nicole Nichols, a spokeswom-an for Oprah Winfrey Network & Harpo Studios, declined comment. She said Armstrong has not been paid for his ap-pearance and there are no re-strictions on what’s discussed.

The show will be broadcast Jan. 17 at 9 p.m. EST on OWN and Oprah.com.

Armstrong has strongly de-nied the doping charges that led to him being stripped of his Tour de France titles, but The New York Times reported Fri-day he has told associates he is considering acknowledging the use of performance enhancers.

The newspaper report cited anonymous sources, and Armstrong’s lawyer Tim Herman told The Associated Press that night he had no knowledge of Armstrong con-sidering a confession.

Earlier Tuesday, “60 Minutes Sports” reported the head of US-ADA told the show a representa-tive for Armstrong offered the agency a “donation” in excess of $150,000 several years before

an investigation by the organi-zation led to the loss of Arm-strong’s Tour de France titles.

In an interview for the premiere on Showtime on Wednesday night, USADA chief executive officer Travis Tygart said he was “stunned” when he received the offer in 2004.

“It was a clear conflict of in-terest for USADA,” Tygart said. “We had no hesitation in re-jecting that offer.”

Herman denied such an offer was made.

“No truth to that story,” Her-man wrote Tuesday in an email to the AP. “First Lance heard of it was today. He nev-er made any such contribu-tion or suggestion.”

One of the last steps in Ball State’s Education Redefined Strategic Plan and mission to revitalize campus came to a close Wednesday afternoon.

Students, faculty and com-munity members gathered for the Studebaker East Complex rededication ceremony, nearly three months after it reopened to students.

Alan Hargrave, associate vice president for Student Affairs and director of Housing and Resi-dence Life, welcomed attendants to the ceremony and spoke of the history of the building.

The complex is named after Mark E. Studebaker, who was one of the first four business education professors at Ball State, and he served as a faculty member for 36 years.

“As we gather today, we not only recognize generations of students who called Stu East home but we also honor a man who was one of this univer-sity’s faculty leaders,” Hargrave

said. “We celebrate the features that make this residence hall a truly modern faculty.”

The renovation of the building comes at the end of a decade-long effort to revitalize campus buildings, based on input from students. This effort was part of the implementation of the Education Redefined Strategic Plan, which is now complete.

To fulfill that initiative, the new Studebaker East includes a large multipurpose room, con-ference rooms, a computer lab, music practice room, common laundry space and a fitness room. About 430 students are housed in the residence hall’s air-conditioned double rooms on eight floors.

Kay Bales, vice president for Student Affairs and dean of stu-dents, said the renovation rep-resents larger changes in Ball State’s students and on campus.

“It is important to us that stu-dents feel pride in our campus and experience firsthand the priority we place on student’s quality of life at the university,” she said.

Bales said the renovation of Studebaker East had three sig-nificant goals.

She said, first, as the home of the International and Languag-es Living-Learning Communi-

ty, it will help to attract inter-national students. The building was remodeled to meet Lead-ership in Energy and Environ-mental Design certification (LEED) standards, to further demonstrate the serious ap-proach Ball State takes toward

climate neutrality. Bales said the final goal involves the vi-brant energy of the complex will serve as a model for fu-ture residence halls and attract bright, creative students.

Student member of the Board of Trustees Michael Miller

closed the ceremony, speaking on behalf of the Board to his experience in Studebaker East when he was a freshman.

“As I moved my belongings out at the end of my freshman year I never imagined myself standing here four years later,”

he said. “While the physical appearance has changed, the feeling that comes about from it is still the same. It’s a feeling that gets to the heart of what we are doing at Ball State, it’s a reminder students always come first. The friendships and memories I built in these walls I will never forget.”

After the ceremony, resident assistants gave guided tours of the building.

Senior nursing major Stephanie Burris, who is an RA for the building, said Studebaker East has a posi-tive environment.

“I would definitely say this is nicer [than where I have been an RA in the past]; it has its own unique qualities like the lounges and open kitchen areas,” she said. “It will help foster communities with the residents.”

Junior legal studies major Dairick Wade is also an RA in Studebaker East. He agreed with Burris and said the building has been well-received.

“All the residents love the building, it fosters a communi-ty,” Wade said. “A lot of students socialize in the lounges and we have programs in the lounges. It really does create a great community for students.”

NEWS

Obama hopes to announce his administration’s next steps to tackle gun violence shortly after he is sworn in for a sec-ond term on Jan. 21. Mean-while, a coalition of conser-vative and gun-rights groups is organizing a “Gun Appre-ciation Day” to coincide with the weekend of his inaugura-tion, calling on people to visit gun stores, gun ranges and gun shows with U.S. flags and “Hands off my gun” signs.

The United States has the highest rate of firearm own-ership among peer countries — 89 civilian-owned firearms for every 100 Americans —

and that’s one reason why the country suffers far more violent deaths than any other wealthy nation, a new report said Wednesday. The U.S. is home to about 35 to 50 percent of the world’s civilian-owned firearms, said the report from the National Research Council and the Institute of Medicine.

States and communities are trying to come up with their own solutions to gun violence.

The governor of New York, the state with some of the country’s strictest gun laws, on Wednesday proposed to close loopholes on a state ban on assault weapons and ammunition clips that carry more than 10 bullets. The

outspoken Republican gover-nor of neighboring New Jer-sey, Chris Christie, said poli-cymakers also must address the mental health system, improve access to drug treat-ment and look at the impact of violent video games.

Gabrielle Giffords, the for-mer congresswoman who was shot in the head two years ago in a mass attack, is forming a political action committee to counter the ex-isting gun lobby while reach-ing out to gun owners like herself. And states are explor-ing ideas ranging from instant background checks for people buying ammunition to one Utah town’s proposal to have

every household armed.Biden’s meetings this week

include one on Thursday with the country’s most powerful gun lobbying group, the Na-tional Rifle Association, which insisted after the Connecti-cut shooting that the answer to gun violence was arming more “good guys” and putting an armed security officer in every school.

Participants in Wednesday’s meeting included the Brady Campaign to End Gun Vio-lence. The group’s president, Dan Gross, said afterward that the meeting was “very produc-tive and actually inspiring.” He said the administration is trying to figure out how to

prevent gun deaths, not take guns away from lawful owners.

But as the shock and sor-row begin to fade over the Connecticut attack, some gun rights advocates are already fighting tighter gun restric-tions, and the Senate’s top Re-publican has warned it could be spring before Congress begins considering any gun legislation.

“The biggest problem we have at the moment is spending and debt,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said this week, pointing to looming debates over the country’s borrowing limit and massive deficit.

Obama wants Congress to re-instate a ban on military-style

assault weapons, close loop-holes that allow gun buyers to avoid background checks and restrict high-capacity magazines. Other recommen-dations to the Biden group include making gun-traffick-ing a felony, getting the Jus-tice Department to prosecute people caught lying on gun background-check forms and ordering federal agencies to send data to the National Gun Background Check Database.

Some of those steps could be taken through executive ac-tion, without the approval of Congress. White House offi-cials said Obama will not final-ize any actions until receiving Biden’s recommendations.

She suggested that students should not borrow more than their expected starting salary after graduation.

“A college degree continues to be a smart investment, but many students pile up debt without understanding what their total cost will be or how long it will take for tem to pay it off,” Lubbers said.

They should also remem-ber “15 to finish,” as 15 cred-it hours are the minimum number of credits full time students need to graduate

on time. Right now, only one-half of students receiving state financial aid are taking this many credits but three-fourths expect to graduate on time, Lubbers said.COLLEGE RESPONSIBILITY

Lubbers said she also holds colleges responsible to make higher education more benefi-cial at a lower cost.

She suggested that colleges first increase the state higher education funding during the next budget cycle toward per-formance and holding any in-crease in tuition or fees to at or below the rate of inflation.

Lubbers also suggested ad-ministrations further support student with their own finan-cial aid incentives for students to graduate on time and with minimal debt.

Her final suggestion for col-leges was to emphasize col-lege advising to place students on track to graduate on time and provide a true sense of the job opportunities and earning potential for their degrees.STATE RESPONSIBILITY

Lawmakers, from Lubbers’ perspective, are responsible for “sustaining support for a performance based funding

formula.” She also said they should focus on investing more in the next budget on higher education and creating incentives to “award addition-al financial aid dollars to those who perform academically and graduate on time.”

The commission will ask lawmakers to present these actions during the upcoming legislative session.

“Yes, there will be a cost asso-ciated with increasing degree production and educational at-tainment,” Lubbers said. “But, we must pay for what we value to keep pace with the growing

work force demand for skilled college graduates.” PANEL PLAN

In the last three minutes of the panel, each member ad-dressed the “biggest thing” they would change.

Bill Stanczykiewicz, president and CEO of the Indian Youth Institute, quoted President Lin-coln and said students had the “right to rise” and that informa-tion needed to reach students through “people they know and organizations they trust.”

Beverly Pitts, president emer-itus of the University of Indi-ana, said every single student

needs a mentor to help guide them through the process of preparing for college as well as graduating.

Rep. Robert Behning, (R-In-dianapolis), chairman of the House Education Committee, said a data system is going to be important as a way to con-tinue to gauge what is best for students as they continue into the future.

Kevin Brinegar, president and CEO of Indiana Chamber of Commerce, said the future bud-get needs to be “laser focused” on using resources for qualified, skilled talent as a priority.

As newly reappointed president, Hughes said he hopes to continue in this term working with the other board members and advancing the university as a top school in the state.

“What I really enjoy is the change I’ve seen in the uni-versity over the years, how much stron-ger the university has grown since I first came on the board and just the chal-lenges we have dealt with and how we have handled them as well if not better than most state institutions,” Hughes said.

Hughes has been the board president since 2011. He has been on the board since 1989 and was board secretary from 2006 to 2011, according to a Ball State press release.

“I felt pleased with the support of the alumni association and pleased with the opportunity to continue to be of service

to the state and also to have an impact on higher educa-tion,” Hughes said.

He graduated from Ball State in 1965 with a bachelor’s degree and earned his master’s degree in 1972.

“As an alum of Ball State, it means an awful lot to be of service and give something back,” he said.

Hughes is part of the nine-member board, made up of two Ball State alumni, one full-time student and six mem-bers appointed at large. Members serve four year terms.

The governor appoints all nine members. The primary duties of the board includes granting degrees, borrowing money and setting fees and charges.

In addition to serving as president of the board, he also serves on the Ball State University Foundation, the Alumni Council and the Black Alumni Society Board of Directors.

BOARD PRESIDENT REAPPOINTEDDN|BRIEF

HOLLIS E. HUGHES,reappointed Ball State Board of Trustees president

The Student Recreation and Wellness Center is making weight loss-related resolutions a little easier by hosting an event to in-troduce its lineup of healthy living classes.

“I’m actually looking for a new workout regiment, [and] maybe the hardcore class will give me some ideas,” said Ramaro Barnes, a senior psychology major.

Barnes said he had gotten out of the habit of working out, but the Fitness Palooza seemed like a good place to start back again.

Amy Hill, a graduate assistant with the Ball State Fit Program, organized Fitness Palooza, a two-hour demonstration of several classes offered by the recreation department.

“It gives you a chance to try a lot of classes all at one event,” she said. “There will be a lot of people there trying to get the semester started off right.”

As well as introducing stu-dents to several different types of

classes offered at the SRWC, it is meant to be fun, Hill said. There will be prizes and giveaways, in-cluding T-shirts and other recre-ational gear.

Four types of classes will be in-troduced: hardcore, cross-training, yoga and a crowd favorite, Zumba.

“I have been doing [Zumba] since my sophomore year of high school,” freshman journalism ma-jor Sartavia Morland said. “The courses are really expensive for me so it would be nice for me to do it for free. I like Zumba be-cause I used to do yoga, but with Zumba I actually feel like I’m re-ally getting a workout.”

As well as offering a place for students to try out classes, all classes are free through Sunday. Classes afterward cost between $25 for a five time use card to $95 for an unlimited semester pass.

Breion Thomas, a sophomore psychology major, said he is ac-tive and open to the idea of taking classes, or at least trying them out for free. Thomas said he thinks it is a good idea to give students a free try before they have to buy expensive packages.

“I usually just play basketball instead of doing anything really structured,” Thomas said. “I do like to be fit, I will have to look into some of those classes.”

Set up solid practices to balance work and play this year, as responsibilities keep you moving. Satisfying career accomplishments oc-curs before summer, when romance’s irresistible allure calls. Work together, and learn from others. Home changes include a widening circle of loved ones.

Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is an 8 -- Career matters occupy you. Con-sider options, and then choose from your heart. A female gets you moving. A new hairstyle or outfit may be in order.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is a 9 -- Make time for an outing over the next few days. Follow a dream. Immerse yourself in the past. It’s okay to hold on to what you have. Feel the love.

Gemini (May 21-June 21) Today is an 8 -- Track calls, orders and income carefully. Changes necessitate revisions. You may need to confront authority ... consider when to speak and remain silent.

Cancer (June 22-July 22)Today is an 8 -- Let a partner make distant contacts for you. Compromise; together, you win. Travel later ... there’s temporary confusion. Use your natural charm to persuade.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)Today is a 7 -- It’s back to work, big time, over the next two days. Don’t take a risk with your money (or anyone else’s). Long-dis-tance communication clarifies. Express your feelings.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)Today is a 9 -- Your opinion is sought, and com-promise is required. Pretenses get revealed, so get real from the start. Get to the heart of the matter. This earns appreciation and gratitude.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)Today is a 9 -- Home is nice for the next few days. Accept more authority graciously. Fol-low through on projects you start, and clean up after. Believe in love and find yourself surrounded.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is an 8 -- Now begins a two-day intensive learning phase. Gather information. Take care to answer every question. Turn down a loved one’s request (for now). Discover an opportunity or bargain.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is a 7 -- Love finds a way. Practical effort with finances in mind wins out. Gather information. An unexpected develop-ment could alter plans. Dress it up.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is a 9 -- Get your antiques appraised; find treasures. Invent who you’re growing up to be. Everything seems possible. Imitation is the new original.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is an 8 -- More study is required. Begin a period of private self-examination (and possible surprises). Travel and romance look good. Guard against foolish spend-ing. A female offers a new image.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is a 9 -- Do the paperwork for extra profits. Career insights could change your plans. Hide away a treasure. Relax privately at home. Never be afraid to laugh at yourself.

THE LINE UPYOUR GUIDE TO WEEKEND

SPORTING EVENTSThe stability and consistency

at the top of the program exem-plifies that ‘families’ are built around Ball State volleyball, rather than just teams.

“Typically our stories involve getting to and from our match-es more so than what actually happened on the court,” Wal-ton said. “For us, it truly was our fraternity.

“Because of that, and the amount of time we spent to-gether, lifelong relationships have been built.” ALUMNI EVENTS

A half-century of bonds among teammates came to-gether at the team’s 50th an-niversary commemoration this past weekend. Walton said the turnout for the annual alumni match on Saturday was well be-yond average.

“Through the course of the weekend I came up with a list of about 84 alumni that at-tended that I could think of, and I know I’m missing some,” Walton said.

Famous alumni such as USC women’s volleyball coach Mick Haley and Dave and John Shon-dell, both sons of the elder Shondell, brothers to Ball State women’s volleyball coach Steve Shondell and Purdue women’s volleyball coaches, were in at-tendance for a coaches clinic and a celebration dinner.

The turnout and success made Walton call the gala “the week-end of smiles.”

And with a team rich in win-ning records for the last 50 years, the question is whether the current team can build on that history this season. OFFENSIVE CHALLENGES

Various preseason polls have the Cardinals at fourth in the Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association. Walton does not think that assessment is too off base.

“When we voted for the pre-season rankings, I put our team at fourth,” Walton said. “Yet after playing everybody in the preseason [except Grand Canyon], I think we stack up actually better than that. I’m talking to our guys on a daily basis, telling them why we can win the conference.

“There’s a good deal of parity. I don’t see any team being abso-lutely dominant.”

But in order to compete with the best teams in the confer-ence, Ball State’s offense must improve.

Last season, Ball State hit for a .202 attack percentage compared to MIVA champion Lewis’ .321 mark.

It doesn’t help one of the team’s best offensive players from 2012 in outside hitter Lar-ry Wrather is out for the season. Wrather underwent surgery to repair his rotator cuff and la-brum this summer.

In the offseason, Walton fo-cused on getting effective pro-duction from the outside hitters at his disposal.

“One of the pieces we need to get better at is attacking at the

antennas,” Walton said. “We haven’t had strong enough per-formances from our outside at-tackers. Teams have been able to gamble away from particu-lar hitters and bunch up their blockers around other hitters.

“We haven’t had enough bal-ance, and we certainly haven’t had a stud that we can throw a high ball to and it doesn’t matter if you have two blockers, three blockers in front of him, he has still been able to produce.”

With no one to help bail the offense out, Walton has focused much of his attention on sets. He said the team’s timing and tempo have improved vastly this offseason. Coupled with significant improvement from senior right-side hitters Jamion Hartley and Greg Herceg, Ball State’s offense looks to improve every match.

The team also returns all-conference junior middle hit-ter Matt Leske, as well as ju-nior libero Tommy Rouse, who was all-conference his fresh-man year.FIRST TEST

Ball State’s first test will come against St. Francis this Saturday. St. Francis already lost to one MIVA opponent this season, Ohio State, falling in three games.

Junior outside hitter Logan Patterson led the Red Flash with 11 kills and a .302 hit-ting percentage against the Buckeyes. Walton knows slowing him down will be key for Ball State.

“He carries the bulk of their offensive load, and has for about three seasons now,” Wal-ton said.

But this is just the first of many matches for Ball State this season. And with the 50th anniversary season set to begin, Walton hopes to cel-ebrate in a way only fit for a Ball State men’s volleyball: by winning.

“I’m very excited about this season, and I think we have the necessary players to compete.”

Wecome Back Students| CONOR HOCKETT CHIEF REPORTER @ConorHockett

As Ball State’s No. 1 scoring option, it’s easy to see why Jes-se Berry draws so much atten-tion in late-game situations.

For the second game in a row, however, the junior guard made opposing teams pay for their narrow focus.

With an on-ball defender and three more Eastern Michigan players eyeing him from the paint, Berry crossed over from the right wing before rifling a pass to a wide-open Chris Bond on the baseline.

The junior forward drew a foul with .6 seconds remain-ing and made two free throws to seal Ball State’s 60-58 win over Eastern Michigan in both teams Mid-American Confer-ence opener on Wednesday.

Although Bond clinched the game at the line with two of his game-high 18 points, it was Berry who made the play.

Coach Billy Taylor put the ball in Berry’s hands with 8.3 seconds left and the score tied at 58. The vision to find Bond became the latest example of how the MAC West Division Player of the Week’s playmak-ing skills are starting to rival his lethal outside shot.

In last week’s game against Norfolk State, Berry drove full-court and found junior Majok

Majok under the basket for a buzzer-beating dunk.

The Lafayette, Ind., native finished the game with eight points, six off his season aver-age, but set a new career-high in assists with six.

Ball State shot a season-high 58.5 percent (24-of-41) from the field against Eastern Mich-igan’s 2-3 zone on Wednesday.

Senior guard Jauwan Scaife scored at least 18 points for the third consecutive game, but it was Bond who filled up

the stat sheet. He shot 8-of-8 from the field to go along with four assists, three rebounds and three assists.

The Eagles were led in scor-ing by senior guard Derek Thompson, who had 16 points off the bench.

After leading 33-28 at half-time, the Cardinals led the rest of the way before the game was tied at 58.

Ball State’s next game is on Saturday against Kent State at 2 p.m.
