Although it’s too cold to don a bathing suit to catch some rays outside, that doesn’t stop many Ball State students from keeping their skin bronze during the winter. Mikayla Cooper, a freshman merchandise major, usually goes tanning before special events. Right now, since her sorority’s formal is approaching, Cooper has been going twice a week. Tanning beds may be worse than the standard practice of laying outside during the summer, according to research done by the Mayo Clinic, a not-for-profit medical research foundation. Their said tanning beds use UVA rays, which penetrate deeper than UVB rays and lead to an increased risk of melanoma.
Seeing members of the Ball State men’s basketball program walk off a court with their heads buried in their chest has become the usual sighting for the 4-19 Cardinals. When Ball State head coach James Whitford exited Worthen Arena’s media room, there was an audible slapping sound against the brick wall and a clear moan echoing in the stairwell leading to the Cardinals locker room. It described the 66-64 loss to Bowling Green Saturday afternoon where Ball State led 64-61 with 1:20 left in the game.
INDIANAPOLIS — Over the past week, Indiana’s senators debated a proposed constitutional ban on gay marriage, going over the merits for hours at a time, before deciding a ban shouldn’t appear on the ballot in November. But their reasoning remains largely a mystery to the public, which heard from only one senator during public deliberations. The gay marriage fight has illuminated one of the less-reported aspects of Indiana’s General Assembly: debate on the toughest of issues often happens in private caucus meetings of state lawmakers, with much left unsaid in public.
Maybe Ball State should just stay on the bus. The Cardinals men’s volleyball team knocked off both Quincy and Lindenwood over the weekend, extending its road-winning streak to five. Over those five matches, Ball State won 15 sets, each one by an average of over five points per set. The team’s streak comes after it dropped its first two road matches, gaining experiences it has used to succeed as of late. “We were tense, uptight, and that really translated into inability to play,” Ball State head coach Joel Walton said of his team’s early-season road loss against Penn State.
Ball State had the chance to secure its third win over a NCAA Division-I opponent this season, but Bowling Green erased any hope. Freshman Zavier Turner made 3 of his 5 total points on the right wing to put his Cardinals up 64-61 with 1:20 left in the game.

I spent most of my teenage years and the first bit of my twenties crush-hopping. Secretly adoring your best friend. Latching on to the idea of that one guy you met through your friend at a party two weeks ago. Juggling a few mental relationships for a while until you pick one and pursue it. Breaking up and starting over. It felt like a bad cycle, a bunch of brain space that I was using for generally unrequited and meaningless crushes that, albeit fun and fulfilling at times, just didn’t deliver that much for me.
It’s Valentine’s weekend. Check out some activities you can do on this edition of The Weekend.
