Top MAC West teams square off

Kylee Baker didn’t mince words. “That loss never should have happened in the first place,” she said. Ball State’s senior outside hitter remembers what happened the first time Ball State played the University of Toledo.




Explosive offense leads to victory

On a drive early in the second quarter, Ball State faced a 2nd and 6 at Central Michigan University’s 30-yard line. Out of the shotgun, senior quarterback Keith Wenning calmly looked left at senior wide receiver Jamill Smith. After a second’s pause, Wenning threw to Smith, who had broken free of the defense and was wide open at the 10-yard line.


The volunteers move at a quick pace while moving the produce from crate to bag to box.  Some had different techniques for doing so, as they would bag the fruit and keep it in the original crate until they could unload many bags at a time.

UPDATED: Student attendance at football game reaches one-quarter Ball State Dance Marathon's goal

At halftime of tonight’s football game, around 5,000 students showed up for the game, partly in support of Ball State Dance Marathon. The Ball State athletic department offered BSUDM $10,000 if 10,000 students attend the game against Central Michigan University in the project known as Project 10,000. Even if BSUDM does not reach the 10,000 mark, the athletics department will donate $1 for each student if more than 5,000 to attend the game. Zach Brown, BSUDM director of media relations, said he is happy with the number of students so far. “I think that given the weather conditions and the cold, the halfway mark is impressive,” he said.

Bundle up, don't bulk up

It’s about that time of year again. Students roll out of bed for their 8 a.m. classes to realize the pajamas they wore to bed won’t suffice in the below-freezing weather. They throw another long sleeve shirt, a hoodie, a coat and an extra pair of sweats over flannel pajama pants and they rush out the door.


Ball State professors propose Muncie bike lane

Two professors are waiting for their accepted proposal so a bike lane on the north side of campus can become a reality. Marcy Meyer, an associate professor of communication studies, said she was almost hit by a man driving a pickup truck as she rode her bike through a parking lot. “He was moving forward while looking in his rearview mirror at somebody that he had just said goodbye to, and he had an ear bud in his ear,” she said.
