For Fall Break, I went back to my hometown of Fort Wayne for a couple of days to see my family and friends. One of the people I talked extensively with was my roommate's sister, who is currently a freshman at my alma mater, North Side High School. I expected her experience to be similar to mine, and for the most part it is.
Students fall, get into car accidents and break bones whether they are at Ball State University or studying in another country, but Ball State wants to make sure they are taken care of regardless of their location. Accidents, like when Chris Horner broke his neck two weeks ago while studying at the Australian Centre, bring safety issues on campus and on school trips to the university community's attention, Jim Coffin, director of the Rinker Center for International Studies, said.
With the season only 12 days away, first-year coach Ronny Thompson and his collective staff are doing some fine-tuning with their squad and putting the finishing touches on a productive off-season for the Ball State University men's basketball team.

Halloween isn't about ghosts and goblins. It isn't about the embracing of the macabre.

I am tired of hearing that Emens loses money for rock shows. The fact of the matter is that Ball State University does not really publicize the events. Granted, they put ads out in the Daily News, but that is all they seem to do. I'm sorry, but a little ad on page three is not going to grab my attention.

I found that most students find it difficult to structure a schedule around the meal plan hours, and even more difficult to spend the specific amount allowed whether it be breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

This weekend's meets for the swimming and diving teams are of great concern to the teams' coaches. "We probably lost more points [from graduating seniors] than anyone else in the conference," co-coach Bob Thomas said. "I think I counted somewhere around 170 points [in meets].
Throughout the season, the Ball State University women's volleyball team has experienced games that have been anything but smooth. The Cardinals are on a six-game losing streak, making the team's record 6-16.

I knew this clever, conniving and morally lacking man who was advising another person having relationship difficulties. The advice came to, "When she starts arguing with you about something you did, deny, deny, counter-accuse." While the angel of good conscience told me that was probably a terrible way of dealing with an argument, the devil of bad conscience informed me that this was a very effective way of ending an argument.
