Members of the Students for Creative Social Activism were in the Atrium Thursday to encourage students to write to their legislators. The organization members were on hand to help students find legislation that is active in Congress, find out who the legislator is that is involved, and give tips on how to write an effective letter to them. Ariana Brown, president of the organization, said the event was something that she has wanted to do for months. “I think it’s going to be really helpful in just kind of breaking the ice and making people feel more confident going into writing their legislators or contacting elected officials or in any way trying to negotiate our huge government,” Brown said. Tips the organization has for writing an effective letter include making sure the correct person is being contacted, focusing on a specific bill in the letter, proving authority on the issue and talking about how personal effects of the legislation. Brown said some people may feel very strong about an issue, but that does not give them the right not to be cordial. “I feel that if somebody is on their own and they are like so riled up about it that they are going to write their legislator, they are a lot more fired up than people who are just walking around the Atrium like what is this, I think I might be interested in this thing,” Brown said. Jackson Nelschorson, a senior creative writing major, was one of the students who walked by the event and got involved.
WASHINGTON — A Democratic official says President Barack Obama has decided to allow the sale of canceled individual health insurance policies to existing customers, part of a plan to satisfy public discontent with “Obamacare.” Obama set a late morning White House announcement. The official said the administration’s one-year plan is to let insurers continue to offer plans that had been canceled because they did not meet coverage standards under the health care law. The official says insurance companies must also notify policyholders that alternatives exist under Obama’s health care program, and have to describe the areas in which their own plans fall short of coverage requirements in the law. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because this person lacked authority to speak publicly ahead of a formal announcement.
Faculty Council chairperson Kip Shawger has it right — Ball State prides itself on being non-discriminatory. We were disappointed that Ball State didn’t step forward at the same time as Indiana University to show disapproval for House Joint Resolution 6, which would define marriage as between a man and a woman in the state constitution. The resolution already puts Indiana forward as an extremely conservative state that clearly won’t accept all kinds of people.

DEKALB, Ill. – Ball State’s Jonathan Newsome had Jordan Lynch dead to rights in the backfield, wrapped up for a loss on a third and 11. Unbelievably, yet somehow unsurprisingly, Northern Illinois University’s senior quarterback made something out of nothing and escaped for a first down as he has done all game and all season. The Huskies marched down the field and scored a touchdown on the drive, taking the lead. Northern Illinois wouldn’t trail for the remainder of the game as it beat Ball State, 48-27. The play was one of the first things Ball State head coach Pete Lembo mentioned following the game. “Newsome didn’t bring him down,” Lembo said.
