M1 (matrix protein) provides structure to the particle
Host cells have receptors that allow larger particles, such as proteins, to enter.
After a virus attaches to a cell’s receptors, it begins to enter the cell. Through a process called endocytosis, the cell absorbs the virus particle, enveloping it in part of the cell’s protective outer membrane.
The cells releaseenzymes that seperate HA into HA1 and HA2.
The virus then releases its RNA into the cell, allowing the virus to reproduce.
HA1 lifts, and HA2 extends toward the membrane. HA1 then acts as an anchor, pulling the HA2 apart and causing fusion of the cell membrane and the virus particle.
The virus’ RNA rushes to the cell’s nucleus, where cellular DNA is stored. More viral DNA is then produced, and the cell simultaneously produces more HA and NA glycoproteins. As HA and NA glycoproteins begin to collect in the cell’s membrane, structural
elements and RNA of the virus collect nearby. In a process known as budding, the particle separates and becomes independent from the cell. It then moves to another cell and the process repeats.

Students, especially those living in residence halls, have an elevated risk of contracting the flu due to the heavy population density of campus. An often overlooked and controversial means of prevention is taking vitamin D supplements.
Research on vitamin D’s effect on the com-mon cold is hotly debated, with National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey studies from 2010 suggesting that it does help and more recent studies in 2011 from the University of Otago Christchurch in New Zealand suggesting that the vitamin is ineffective.
Nonetheless, vitamin D is generally accepted to boost the immune system, activating T-cells in the human body that fight off infection, ac-cording to the Department of International Health, Immunology and Microbiology.
Vitamin D deficiency is often associated with the winter, as the body’s means of producing it is through the skin via sunlight, which peo-ple get significantly less of during the winter months. Seasonal depression may also be a re-sult of vitamin D deficiency alongside psycho-logical factors.

After only 10 percent of students voted in the 2012 Student Government Association executive board election, the executive and elections boards are making changes to draw more student interest.
“I think it is ridiculous that 6,000 [students] vote for Homecoming, and [about] 2,000 do for a student body president who makes decisions for them,” SGA President Chris Wilkey said.
This year, executive board slates will add an an-other week of campaigning and an additional de-bate. Slates will now campaign for three weeks and participate in three debates. The elections board will also hold an open forum where the election process for SGA will be explained at 7 p.m. on Jan. 29 in Teachers College room 102.
Kevin Thurman, SGA elections board chairman, said students should pay more attention to SGA or consider running for office because the effect is more powerful than some students think.
“I think it is underestimated by many students at times,” he said. “This is a direct line of com-munication with the administration to help solve any issues on campus.”
SGA has contributed to changes on campus such as the Student Recreation and Well-ness Center, the Blue Loop shuttle and ex-tending the semester by a day to eliminate Fruesday.
“[Being a part of SGA] is more than just sitting on a bus, com-
plaining or at dinner complaining with your friends about how the sidewalks weren’t plowed,” Thur-man said. “There’s a reason the Student Govern-ment Association is here – to help students solve any issues on campus and make this community better for the current students and those to come.”
Slates are made up of candidates for president, vice president, treasurer and secretary. Election packets for applying executive slates will be avail-able at 8 a.m. Tuesday in L.A. Pittenger Student Center room 112.
The SGA president receives a stipend worth full in-state tuition and his or her own office in the Stu-dent Center. Other members of the executive board receive varying amounts of compensation.
Students who apply do not have to have any prior SGA experience.
“It’s a student body president position, not just a Student Government Association [position,]” Wilkey said. “My big push is for people to know, because even if we don’t have a lot of slates run, at least people know that the position is paid by their student activity fees, and that they are making deci-sions on behalf of the students.”
Wilkey had only a little SGA experience before applying. He said he thinks it helped his leader-ship perspective, because he questions a lot of SGA procedures.
Slates competing will be announced at the SGA Nomination Convention on Feb. 4.
“I would love to see five or six slates run,” Wilkey said. “You would have your choice, and you wouldn’t just have one or the other. You may have one that fits you perfectly or if you don’t, run your own slate.”

INDIANAPOLIS — It looks like Mike Pence is hanging up his mitts after more than a de-cade of leading religious conservatives in fights against abortion, gay marriage and President Barack Obama in Washington.
Blasts against Planned Parenthood and com-parisons between the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and the federal health care law are being re-placed with tightly scripted ruminations on
workforce training and vocational education. The man who said last year that Republicans should “pick a fight” over the government shutdown now says he plans to brief legisla-tive leaders from both parties on his first-year legislative agenda when he becomes Indiana’s 50th governor on Monday.
“Our first priority when I raise my right hand on Jan. 14 is we’re going to make job creation job one,” he said. “We’re going to work with legislators of both political parties to do every-thing we can to get this economy moving.”
When Pence takes office today, Hoosiers can expect to see a different style of leadership than Gov. Mitch Daniels, said Ray Scheele, Ball
State political science professor and co-direc-tor of the Bowen Center for Public Affairs.
Scheele said Daniels saw himself as a trans-formational governor, while Pence wants to keep Indiana moving in the same direction without any major changes.
“Gov. Daniels took some real shots at chang-ing Indiana, and we’ll have to wait and see how many of them actually work,” he said. “He was a change agent, and I don’t think we’re going to see that in Pence.”
The carefully scripted talking points repre-sent a rare opportunity for Pence, who built a

COMBATTING FLU SEASON
| EMMA KATE FITTES CHIEF REPORTER [email protected]
A shortage in flu vaccina-tions is causing the Ball State Student Health Center to turn away stu-
dents seeking flu vaccinations at the same time the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention declared the continuing flu season an epidemic.
Dr. Kent Bullis, medical director at the Health Center, said it will no longer offer the vaccine because it is no longer available.
The Health Center budgeted $20,000 for the flu vaccination this season. It distributed approximately 700 flu shots this fall, about 150 to 200 more than previous years, at four temporary clinics until it ran out in November
“The most important thing is that we evaluate them to make sure it’s the flu and make sure they are medically stable and not in any danger of complications from the flu,” Bullis said.

ONLINE The weekend movie box office recap has military thriller pitted against comedy spoof and a gangster flick.
Columnist Kameron McBride has a different outlook on “Zero Dark Thirty” while debating the torture aspect of the film.
TUESDAY Students recap their time spent at Christian conferences held across the nation during Winter Break.
“Zero Dark Thirty” is hard to watch, which is apparent right from the opening minutes, in which we hear cell phone and police scanner talk of the 9/11 attacks. This barrage of audio recordings played over a black screen evokes the feeling of staring into the abyss. The conversations regarding the attacks are chilling and trag-ic. If only the rest of the film evoked the same raw humanity. What starts as a stark reminder of our nation’s vulnerability be-comes a cold, dry account of its revenge upon the man who attacked it.
The character tasked with finding 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden will catch your attention — a frail but fierce CIA of-ficer named Maya (Academy Award nomi-nee Jessica Chastain). At a grimy facility in Pakistan, she insists on watching the torture of a detainee with links to Saudi terrorists. This is a woman determined to find the truth. But we never see the roots of her determination — it’s as if she did not exist before the national tragedy. Therein lies the major problem with this film; it lacks universal, timeless appeal, relying on only 9/11 iconography to hold audiences’ attention.
Most of the scenes in the second half of the film consist of Maya struggling to cut through the red tape of organizing an attack on bin Laden. Her colleagues complain that her intel does not warrant action, that too much of it is based on in-stincts and inferences. Frankly, this kind of bureaucracy is just not fun to watch.
You’d think a film about such an impor-tant manhunt would keep viewers on the edge of their seats. But director Kathryn Bigelow imbues the film with little to none of the suspense or panache with which she infused her Oscar-winning Iraq War dra-ma “The Hurt Locker.” The only sequence that comes close to evoking any kind of visual and visceral thrill is the Navy SEAL raid of bin Laden’s compound, which is filmed through the eerie green glow of night-vision goggles.
In painting an utterly realistic, border-line dull fly-on-the-wall look at the hunt for bin Laden, the film distances viewers from the mission and its consequences. Although realism and accuracy is impor-tant, the film could have used some sugar to help the medicine go down, so to speak. While I appreciate its refusal to veer into flashy Michael Bay territory, I can’t praise the movie for daring to be dull. The film-makers behind it don’t seem to trust that a historical account can be entertaining without feeling exploitative.
“Zero Dark Thirty” is nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Actress and Original Screenplay. I’m not so sure it deserves them, but it is easy to understand why the film is Oscar bait. It’s timely, as bin Laden was killed just less than two years ago, and political without being preachy. But the film lacks energy and imagination. If you want to see a simultaneously enlightening and entertaining look at the hunt for bin Lad-en, watch the NBC documentary “Inside the Situation Room.”
Lastly, in regard to the controversy sur-rounding “Zero Dark Thirty” and its scenes of torture, director Bigelow explained it best; “Depiction is not endorsement.”
If only the film were as edgy and pro-vocative as its buzz suggests.

The cast of “Argo” gathers backstage at the 70th Annual Golden Globe Awards show Sunday. “Argo” claimed a few awards at the ceremony, beating out films such as “Lincoln” and “Zero Dark Thirty.”
Goldenlobes
Surprise guests, winners set tone for awards season before Academy Awards
“Argo” emerged as a pretty big winner at the Golden Globes on Sunday night. The drama chronicling the attempt to get U.S. embassy vic-tims out of Iran won for both director and Best Drama Film. The directing win was particularly surprising, given that Ben Affleck didn’t even manage to net an Oscar nomination.
Personally, I was excited for “Argo,” Either it or “Zero Dark Thirty” was clearly the best film this year. “Zero Dark Thirty” netted its own win as Jes-sica Chastain won Best Actress in a drama for her portrayal of a CIA agent obsessively hunting Osama bin Laden. It was great to see Chastain win, she’s put in a lot of great work in the past two years.
Daniel Day–Lewis, surprising no one, won Best Actor. I wouldn’t have wanted to pick be-tween him and Joaquin Phoenix, who was ter-rific in “The Master.” Day–Lewis, however, was ultimately the better choice.
“Homeland” and “Girls” each took home some big wins in the television series categories. “Homeland” managed to even beat out the über–popular “Break-ing Bad” to win the Best Drama Series category.
The one award I thought was a little iffy was “Les Misérables” beating out “Moonrise King-dom” for best Comedy or Musical Film. “Les Misérables” is a terrific spectacle but lacks the storytelling strength that makes “Moonrise Kingdom” so great. “Les Misérables” also earned awards for Anne Hathaway and Hugh Jackman for their performances, each very deserving.
Maybe the most interesting moment came when Jodie Foster accepted the Cecille B. DeMille award for her acting career. During her acceptance speech she gave what I think was a coming out speech, though she didn’t directly say it and then she was cut off — at least in the broadcast I was watching.
Hosts Amy Poehler and Tina Fey were terrific. It’s hard to believe someone didn’t have the idea to have them host before as they killed it all night long. Surprisingly, the best presenters might have been Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger, who presented the Best Foreign Film award while giving a funny bit on who speaks better English. My money is on Schwarzenegger, he at least doesn’t mumble.
The other big presentation was Bill Clinton, who came on to present “Lincoln,” which ulti-mately lost to “Argo.”
Overall I thought the awards were good, very funny and more enjoyable than I expected. The next step for most of these films will be the Oscars in late February, which is the event that all these awards shows ultimately build to.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — The Iran hostage thriller “Argo” was a surprise best-drama winner at Sunday’s Golden Globes, beating out the Civil War epic “Lincoln,” which had emerged as an awards-season favorite.
“Argo” also claimed the di-recting prize for Ben Affleck, a prize that normally bodes well for an Academy Award win — except he missed out on an Os-car nomination this time.
“Les Miserables” was named best musical or comedy, while Hugh Jackman and Anne Ha-thaway claimed acting prizes.
Besides the three wins for “Les Miserables” and two for “Argo,” the show was a mixed bag, with awards spreads around a number of films. “Lincoln” came in leading with seven nominations but lost all but one, for Daniel Day-Lewis as best actor in the
title role of “Lincoln.”“Zero Dark Thirty” star Jes-
sica Chastain won the Globe for dramatic actress as a CIA agent obsessively pursuing Osama bin Laden. Other act-ing prizes went to Jennifer Lawrence as best musical or comedy actress for the odd-ball romance “Silver Linings Playbook” and Christoph Waltz as supporting actor for the slave-revenge tale “Djan-go Unchained.”
“Les Miserables,” the musi-cal based on Victor Hugo’s classic novel, earned Jack-man the Globe for musical or comedy actor as tragic hero Jean Valjean. Hathaway won supporting actress as a single mom forced into prostitution.
Former President Bill Clin-ton upstaged Hollywood’s elite with a surprise appearance to introduce Spielberg’s Civil War epic “Lincoln,” which was up for best drama. The film chron-icles Abraham Lincoln’s final
months as he tries to end the war and find common ground in a divided Congress to pass the 13th Amendment abolish-ing slavery.
Lincoln’s effort was “forged in a cauldron of both princi-ple and compromise,” Clinton said. “This brilliant film shows us how he did it and gives us hope that we can do it again.”
Amy Poehler, co-host of the Globes with Tina Fey, gushed afterward, “Wow, what an ex-citing special guest! That was Hillary Clinton’s husband!”
Lawrence won as best ac-tress in a musical or comedy for her role as a troubled wid-ow in a shaky new relationship in “Silver Linings Playbook.”
“What does this say? I beat Meryl,” Lawrence joked as she looked at her award, referring to fellow nominee and multiple Globe winner Meryl Streep.
The Scottish tale “Brave” won for best animated film. It was the sixth win for Disney’s
Pixar Animation unit in the seven years since the Globes added the category.
Lena Dunham claimed the comedy series Globe for “Girls.”
After that, Fey and Poehler showed up on stage with cock-tail glasses, Fey joking that it was time to start drinking.
“Everyone’s getting a little loose now that we’re all los-ers,” Poehler said.
Among other TV winners, Julianne Moore won a best-actress Globe for her role as Sarah Palin in “Game Change,” which also was picked as best TV miniseries or movie and earned Ed Harris a support-ing-actor prize. Best actor in a miniseries or movie went to Kevin Costner for “Hatfields & McCoys.” “Homeland” was named best TV drama series, and its stars Claire Danes and Damian Lewis received the dramatic acting awards. Mag-gie Smith won as supporting actress for “Downton Abbey.”
MCT PHOTOJessica Chastain plays a member of the elite team of spies and military operatives who secretly devoted themselves to finding Osama bin Laden in Columbia Pictures’ new thriller “Zero Dark Thirty” directed by Kathryn Bigelow. The movie’s opening box office numbers reached $24 million taking this weekend, according to the Wall Street Journal.
IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital has already report-ed 133 influenza cases as of Friday, four times last year’s total amount.
Ball Memorial Hospital nev-er offers flu vaccinations, but it prepares for the flu season by requiring all 3,000 of its employees to have a flu shot and by limiting visitation to prevent the virus from spreading, said Jeff Bird, chief medical officer at Ball Memorial Hospital.
The Walgreens on Jackson Street is still offering flu shots despite the increased demand. Store manager Dov Lang said it still has an “ad-equate supply” of the vaccine and will be receiving several more vials in the near future.
Six students tested positive for influenza at the Health Center since the start of Spring Semester, and 20 peo-ple have been hospitalized at Ball Memorial Hospital this flu season.
According to the Indiana State Department, the death toll in Indiana has risen to 15, but there have been no deaths in Muncie attributed to the influenza virus.
“We are right in line with what has been happening across the nation and across the state,” Bird said. “... We are certainly seeing a fairly dramatic increase in the number of positive tests.”
Bird said what makes the virus so dangerous is its “vir-ulence.” Different flu strains have different virulence that
affect different variables of the strain. Virulence deter-mines how easily the strain is passed from one person to another, how rapidly it mul-tiplies inside the body and if it has any affinity to cause particular problems such as pneumonia, which is a com-plication of the flu.
Of the 133 flu positive pa-tients at Ball Memorial, 128 had an A strain, which in-cludes the most common and aggressive H3N2 virus. Five had B strains, which gener-ally don’t affect the body as evasively, Bird said.
Statewide there were 277 cases of H3’s identified in the 2012-13 flu season, while there were only six in the 2011-12 season and nine in the 2010-11 season.
“What we’re concerned about in medicine are the high-risk people and the high-risk people are new-borns, pregnant women, the elderly and people with chronic diseases,” Bird said. “Any of our employees who are ill are required to stay home. We have signage around the hospital to warn people we are trying to limit visitation particularly in our highest risk areas, like the in-tensive care unit.”
Common symptoms of the flu include a fever of 100 de-grees Farenheit or higher, a cough or sore throat, a runny or stuffy nose, headaches, body aches, chills, fatigue, nausea, vomiting and diar-rhea, according to flu.gov.
Bullis also said he tells stu-dents to avoid transmitting the flu to others and get plenty of fluids and rest. He said the flu usually runs its course in seven to 10 days, but if anyone expe-riences shortness of breath or difficulty holding down food or fluids, they should go back to the health center or go to the emergency room to be reexam-ined for further complications.
According to Bird adhering
to the standard, universal precautions such as washing hands and staying in when sick are also important to de-crease the “transmission of community acquired flu.”
“A week or two from now we may be in a much worse position,” Bird said. “So the take-away message is, if you haven’t been immunized for flu yet, go get your flu shot and get it yesterday.”
reputation as one of the most outspoken social cru-saders in the House of Repre-sentatives, to redefine himself should he decide to run for president in 2016.
But he’ll have to walk a care-ful line lest he alienate the evangelicals and tea partyers who urged him to run in 2012 and consider him and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio the top two conservative candidates in the next cycle.
Pence won his seat in 2000, quickly standing out as one of just 33 House Republicans to vote against President George W. Bush’s signature “No Child Left Behind” education policy. He bucked the Republican ma-jority again when he opposed the Medicare prescription drug bill.
By 2005, he had emerged as a clear leader among Congress’ conservatives, taking over as chairman of the Republican Study Committee, a group of conservative House members.
He used that perch to try to scale back congressional ear-marks, often clashing with Republican leadership. He out-lined a series of cuts he thought could be made to government spending after members of House leadership said it would be difficult to offset the costs of cleaning up Hurricane Katrina through spending cuts.
When the GOP took heavy losses in 2006 midterm elec-tions, losing control of the House, Pence ran a quixotic campaign for the top spot in leadership, portraying himself as a true conservative. He fell well short — netting 38 votes to John Boehner’s 168. But two years later, he ran unop-posed, and with Boehner’s tac-it blessing, for the fourth spot in House Republican leader-ship, the chairman of the Re-publican Conference.
Even in leadership, Pence
continued to promote conser-vative ideas in fiscal and for-eign policy. He was an outspo-ken opponent of the financial bailout and the auto bailout, despite its impact on Indiana’s auto industry. After Republi-cans retook the House in 2010, he announced he would be re-signing his spot in leadership.
A year later, he announced his bid for governor.
On his return to Indiana, Pence abandoned all talk of his congressional career. He also ditched talk about religion on the advice of top Indiana
Republicans, who held a call with Pence shortly after he an-nounced he would run for gov-ernor, according to a partici-pant on the call who requested anonymity because it was a private discussion.
“I think I heard him say ‘God’ once after that,” the partici-pant said.
Pence stuck to his campaign “roadmap” for Indiana, which focused on jobs and educa-tion, even as Democrats ar-gued he was a religious wolf campaigning in a fiscal con-servative’s clothing.
Some of Pence’s positions and plans for the state are not well-supported, according to the 2012 Hoosier Survey conduct-ed by Ball State and WISH-TV.
While campaigning, Pence proposed a 10 percent cut in personal income taxes. The survey found that 31 percent of Hoosiers agreed with the plan, while 64 percent would rather see more investment in jobs and education.
Drew Farrington, Univer-sity Democrats president, said he agrees with the 64 percent of Hoosiers.
“I think a tax cut like that will take money out of organiza-tions we do need funding for,” the senior telecommunications sales and promoting major said.
John Huston, College Repub-licans treasurer, said he thinks Pence should listen to Hoosiers.
“[The tax cut] will not have a substantial effect on our paycheck, but it will have det-rimental effects on funding,” the junior political science and economics major said.
Despite Pence’s effort to publicly shuffle social issues to the backburner, leaders of Indiana’s religious conserva-tive groups aren’t worried they’ll be shunned like they were by Daniels, who argued social issues would derail his economic agenda.
Micah Clark, executive direc-tor of the American Family As-sociation of Indiana, notes that Pence’s roadmap includes a promise to promote marriage as a means for ending childhood poverty. Pence told The Associ-ated Press before the election that benefit can only be derived from marriages between one man and one woman.
Clark said he is confident Pence won’t have to trade social issues to take on other priorities.
“I think Republicans can walk and chew gum at the same time,” he said.

EDUCATION CHIEF SEEKS INCREASE IN GRADUATION RATES
| THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana’s education chief says lawmakers need to make wiser investments in higher education to improve the state’s college graduation rate, including new financial aid incentives for students who earn top grades and graduate on time.
Commissioner Teresa Lub-bers said Wednesday that too few students are completing secondary education, and many of those who do are left saddled with debt.
“It’s not an overstatement to say Indiana’s future — the kind of state we will be — has more to do with education than anything else,” she told about 300 people who attended her speech at the Indiana Government Center.
Her address came as the state’s Commission for Higher Educa-tion is seeking a 7.5 percent in-crease in appropriations for the state’s total higher education budget for 2013 -15. The House Ways and Means Committee heard that proposal earlier Wednesday.
The Journal & Courier of Lafay-ette and The Indianapolis Star reported that Lubbers said one way to raise Indiana’s college graduation rates is making sure that investments are leading to more graduates.
Lubbers’ remarks coincided with the release of a new com-mission report that found just three in 10 Indiana college stu-dents complete a four-year de-gree on time and less than one in 10 students finish a two-year degree on time.
Indiana’s public universities are under mounting pressure from the commission to increase their graduation rates. A report released last year by the com-mission calls for the state to in-crease the number of Indiana residents with a college degree to 60 percent of the state’s adult population by 2025.
Currently, only about a third of Indiana adults hold at least one
degr ee, ranging from a one-year work force certificate to a mas-ter’s degree.
“We are producing too few de-grees, especially in high-demand fields. And we have too much student debt, especially for those who exit college with debt and no degree,” Lubber said.
The Journal & Courier of Lafay-ette and The Indianapolis Star reported that Lubbers said one way to raise Indiana’s college graduation rates is making sure that investments are leading to more graduates. She has asked lawmakers to agree on funding higher education programs at an increased rate and creating new financial aid incentives for students with high grades and who get their college diplomas on time.
Kevin Brinegar, president and CEO of the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, said students must understand what employers want in their workers and seek out degrees in the high-demand fields of science, technology, en-gineering and math.
While it’s “very important” for more Indiana residents to obtain four-year degrees, Brinegar said the state shouldn’t “lose sight of ‘middle skills’ training.”
State leader hopes to see more students complete college
The Harvard School of Public Health recommends taking a daily multivitamin and encourages the consid-eration of additional vitamin D supplement. It cites the vi-tamin’s link to heart health, bone and muscle strength, cancer prevention and in-creased immune function as a justification to ingest about 1,000 international units daily, also known as one vita-min D3 tablet.
While a well-balanced diet should be able to provide for all of people’s nutritional
needs, The Harvard School of Public Health suggests the use of multi-vitamins as a “nutrition insurance policy.”
Recent studies have corre-lated multivitamin use with a reduction in cancer risk by 8 percent, according to the Na-tional Cancer Institute. How-ever, vitamin overdose is a serious problem as well, with symptoms including peeling skin, stomach discomfort, paleness, constipation, diar-rhea and in extreme circum-stances, death, according to the Livestrong Foundation. Those eating healthy, nutri-ent-rich diets may experience
these adverse health effects if they take supplements.
Harvard couples its recom-mendation of taking multi-vitamins with precautionary measures. The best option for people seeking proper nutrition is to earth a healthy diet, one “rich in fruits, veg-etables, whole grains, nuts and healthy oils.” This should negate the need to take sup-plemental nutrients.
It also warns against taking “mega” vitamins or taking more than the daily recom-mended dosage of tradition-al multivitamins, as this can cause one to easily and ex-
cessively exceed their nutri-tional needs.
People who maintain healthy habits will live healthier lives, whether their lives are free of something as simple as the sniffles or as serious as cancer. University students may be at a more elevated risk for contagious diseases than they may be back home, but they also have a greater opportunities to learn about their health, more resources to do some-thing about it, and are at a point in their lives where the habits they make can last a lifetime.

6 arrested after brutal gang rape
| THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW DELHI — Police said Sunday they have arrested six suspects in another gang rape of a bus passenger in India, four weeks after a brutal attack on a student on a moving bus in the capital outraged Indians and led to calls for tougher rape laws.
Police officer Raj Jeet Singh said a 29-year-old woman was the only passenger on a bus as she was traveling to her village in northern Punjab state on Fri-day night. The driver refused to stop at her village despite her re-peated pleas and drove her to a desolate location, he said.
There, the driver and the conductor took her to a build-ing where they were joined by five friends and took turns raping her throughout the night, Singh said.
The driver dropped the woman off at her village early Saturday, he said.
Singh said police arrested six suspects on Saturday and were searching for another.
Gurmej Singh, deputy superin-tendent of police, said all six ad-mitted involvement in the rape. He said the victim was recover-ing at home.
Also on Saturday, police ar-rested a 32-year-old man for allegedly raping and killing a 9-year-old girl two weeks ago in Ahmednagar district in western India, the Press Trust of India news agency reported. Her decomposed body was found Friday.
Police officer Sunita Thakare said the suspect committed the crime seven months after his
release from prison after serv-ing nine years for raping and murdering a girl in 2003, PTI re-ported Sunday.
The deadly rape of a 23-year-old student on a New Delhi bus in December led to the woman’s death and set off an impassioned debate about what India needs to do to prevent such tragedies. Protesters and politicians have called for tougher rape laws, and a transformation in the way the country treats women.
“It’s a very deep malaise. This aspect of gender justice hasn’t been dealt with in our nation-building task,” Seema Mustafa, a writer on social issues who heads the Center for Policy Anal-ysis think tank, said Sunday.
“Police haven’t dealt with the issue severely in the past. The message that goes out is that the punishment doesn’t match the crime. Criminals think they can get away it,” she said.
In her first published com-ments, the mother of the de-ceased student in the New Delhi attack said Sunday that all six suspects in that case, including one believed to be a juvenile, de-serve to die.
She was quoted by The Times of India newspaper as saying that her daughter, who died fro m massive internal injuries two weeks after the attack, told her that the youngest suspect had participated in the most brutal aspects of the rape.
Five men have been charged with the physiotherapy student’s rape and murder and face a pos-sible death penalty if convicted. The sixth suspect, who says he is 17 years old, is likely to be tried in a juvenile court if medical tests confirm he is a minor.
Some activists have demanded a change in Indian laws so that juveniles committing heinous crimes can face the death penalty.

NEWTOWN, Conn. — Talk about Sandy Hook Elemen-tary School is turning from last month’s massacre to the future, with differing opinions on whether students and staff should ever return to the build-ing where a gunman killed 20 students and six educators.
Some Newtown residents say the school should be demol-ished and a memorial built on the property in honor of those killed Dec. 14. Others believe the school should be renovated and the areas where the killings occurred removed. That’s what happened at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colo., after the 1999 mass shooting there.
Those appear to be the two prevailing proposals as the com-munity begins discussing the school’s fate. A public meeting on the building’s future drew
about 200 people to Newtown High School on Sunday after-noon, with another meeting set for Friday.
Sunday’s meeting was an emotional gathering with many speaking in favor of keeping the school. Although opinions were mixed, most agreed that the Sandy Hook children and teach-ers should stay together. They’ve been moved to a school build-ing about seven miles away in a neighboring town.
“I have two children who had everything taken from them,” said Audrey Bart, who has two children at Sandy Hook who weren’t hurt in the shooting. “The Sandy Hook Elementary School is their school. It is not the world’s school. It is not New-town’s school. We cannot pre-tend it never happened, but I am not prepared to ask my children to run and hide. You can’t take away their school.”
But fellow Sandy Hook par-ent Stephanie Carson said she couldn’t imagine ever sending her son back to the building.
“I know there are children who were there who want to go
back,” Carson said. “But the real-ity is, I’ve been to the new school where the kids are now...They are still so scared.”
Residents of towns where mass shootings occurred have grap-pled with the same dilemma.
Columbine High School, where two student gunmen killed 12 schoolmates and a teacher, re-opened several months after-ward. Crews removed the library,
where most of the victims died, and replaced it with an atrium.
Virginia Tech converted a class-room building where a student gunman killed 30 people in 2007
into a peace studies and violence prevention center.
Newtown First Selectwoman E. Patricia Llodra said that in ad-dition to the community meet-
ings, the town is planning private gatherings with the victims’ fam-ilies to talk about the school’s fu-ture. She said the aim is to final-ize a plan by March.

Ball State football officially closed out the 2012 season with its annual Football Hon-ors Banquet.
After finishing the season 9-4 and going 6-2 in the Mid-Amer-ican Conference, Ball State had its first bowl berth since the 2008 season. The nine wins on the season were the third most in the program’s history.
Quarterback Keith Wenning and linebacker Travis Freeman were awarded with the John Magnabosco Award, which goes to the most valuable player on offense and defense.
Wenning’s junior season saw his name get recorded into the Ball State record book. He fin-ished the season with 24 touch-
downs to 10 interceptions and threw for 3,095 yards, third best in Ball State history. Wen-ning broke the school record for passes completed in a season with 301 while completing 65.4 percent of his passes.
Against Kent State, Wenning threw for 445 passing yards and five touchdowns in the loss. Wenning’s 445 yards tied the Ball State record for second most in a single game and the five touchdowns tied the school record for most touchdown passes in a game.
In his senior season, Freeman led Ball State with 129 total tackles. His 465 total tackles in his four seasons at Ball State put him as the NCAA leader among current players for total tackles in a career.
Both Wenning and Freeman were named to the 2012 All-MAC Second Team.
Wide receiver KeVonn Mabon received the team’s John Hodge Award as Ball State’s most valu-
able freshman. Mabon caught 23 balls for 335 yards and two touchdowns in his first season at Ball State.
Kicker Steven Schott and wide receiver Jamill Smith both received the Bill Reynolds Spe-cial Teams Award.
Offensive linemen Cameron
Lowry and Austin Holtz, punter Scott Kovanda, cornerback Ar-mand Dehaney and quarter-back Kelly Page also received awards at the banquet.
All 14 seniors on the team were also awarded the Ray Louthen Senior Participation Award.

Cardinals stay unbeaten in MAC with road victory
| MATT MCKINNEY ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR @Matt_D_McKinney
Ball State committed 18 turnovers in Sunday’s 57-51 women’s basketball win over Northern Illinois. The two teams combined for 43 turn-overs. Ball State coach Brady Sallee warned not to call it an “ugly win.”
“It was an ugly game, there’s no such thing as an ugly win,” Sallee said. “That’s the way
they make you play. They just really defend the heck out of you, they don’t let you cut where you want to. They don’t let you set screens where you want to.”
Northern Illinois senior Sa-tavia Taylor had a career day against Ball State, scoring a career-high 24 points on 8-of-12 shooting. Taylor also went 4-4 from the three-point line.
“Taylor is a tough matchup for us,” Sallee said of the 5’11” forward. “I thought we made her take some tough shots. She was really good from the three-point line, which we were kind of hoping she’d be just OK, but she was good.”
Sallee said he knew Taylor
would play well against the Cardinals; he tried to recruit her to Eastern Illinois when he was coaching there.
Ball State dominated in the paint on Sunday, scoring 28 points down low, as opposed to Northern Illinois’ eight points. A large part of that was Ball State forward Na-thalie Fontaine. Fontaine led her team with 18 points on 7-of-10 shooting. She also hit a 3-pointer on Sunday, just her second of the season.
Sallee said that those kind of performances are “becoming pretty consistent with her.”
“She scored a lot of different ways and played a pretty ag-gressive game,” Sallee said.
Her 18 points also tied a career-high. It hasn’t always shown on the stat sheets, but Fontaine has shown marked improvement since her first game in November.
“She’s just starting to get comfortable. She’s just start-ing to see what her strengths are,” Sallee said. “Another part of it too is I’m learning how to use her, too. Sometimes those freshmen come in and you don’t really know how to use them. She’s becoming a real matchup nightmare.”
With Sunday’s win, Ball State improved to 2-0 in the Mid-American Conference. The last time it started 2-0 in the MAC was in the 2009-10 season.

Majok becoming opponents’ focus in scouting report
| CONOR HOCKETT CHIEF REPORTER @ConorHockett
While junior college trans-fer Majok Majok’s immediate success established him as a go-to scorer in the paint, Ball State’s junior forward seem-ingly felt the effects of be-coming a target on opposing scouting reports.
After Majok scored in dou-ble figures in the Cardinals’ first four games, teams start-ed double teaming the Perth, Australia native and forcing his catches farther and farther from the basket.
It wasn’t uncommon to see Majok get visibly frustrated during games as his touches dwindled — that is until Sat-urday.
Despite losing 61-47 to Kent State, Ball State’s big man dominated the painted area, forcing defenders to hack him continuously to prevent la-yups in arguably his best per-formance in nearly a month.
“He’s strong and physical — just a horse down there [in-side],” Kent State coach Rob Senderoff said. “He’s a tough matchup for anyone in our league.”
The Golden Flashes un-dersized frontcourt players certainly couldn’t match up. Majok finished with 13 and points and 12 rebounds de-spite shooting 7-of-17 from the foul line.
Kent State was forced to foul Majok so often because Ball State got him in positions
close to the basket.Coach Billy Taylor said his
team’s improved pick-and-roll execution got Majok diving to the bucket for several uncon-tested dunks.
It was no coincidence that the Cardinals’ offense flowed so much better when they got easy points in the paint.
“I think it was really just about different styles in terms of what teams are giving you,” Taylor said. “If they’re giv-ing you interior touches, we always want to go there first and try to make a presence in the paint. I thought we did that pretty effectively.”
Taylor said Majok hasn’t scored as much lately because of how well Ball State’s guards have played in the last couple of games.
Even with junior Jesse Berry and senior Jauwan Scaife car-rying the offensive load of late, Senderoff said even as his team threw everything at Majok defensively, he’s still a force for Ball State’s front-court.
“I thought we did a pretty good job and he still had a double-double,” Senderoff said.
Pick-and-roll game benefitting forward as scoring increases
Ball State men’s tennis opened its 2013 spring sea-son with a 6-1 loss to the Big Ten’s Northwestern on Sun-day afternoon.
Northwestern began the match with a win in the dou-bles, as Ball State’s Austin Sansone and Alexandre Brym lost in No. 3 doubles. The pair of Cliff Morrison and Patrick Elliot fell in No. 2 doubles and the No. 1 doubles pair of Dal-ton Albertin and Ray Leonard abandoned their match.
The Cardinals were swept in all but one of the singles matches; the No. 2 singles. Morrison was able to come back from a set down to defeat Northwestern’s Spencer Wolf after he withdrew in the third set.
Ball State will get another shot at beating a Big Ten op-ponent when it competes against Illinois on Saturday.
