OXFORD, Miss. — The FBI has identified a Missis-sippi man suspected of mailing letters containing poisonous ricin as 45-year-old Paul Kevin Curtis.

FBI Special Agent in Charge Daniel McMullen said Curtis was arrested Wednesday afternoon at his apartment in Corinth, near the Tennessee state line about 100 miles east of Memphis.

Authorities still waited for definitive tests on the letters sent to President Barack Obama and Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss.

An FBI intelligence bulletin obtained by The As-sociated Press said those two letters were post-

marked Mem-phis, Tenn.

The Mississippi man was accused of sending letters that tested posi-tive for the poi-sonous ricin and set the nation’s capital on edge a day after the Boston Marathon bombings.

Both letters said: “To see a wrong and not ex-pose it, is to become a silent partner to its contin-uance.” Both were signed, “I am KC and I approve this message.”

The letters were intercepted before reaching the White House or Senate. The FBI said Wednes-day that more testing was underway. Preliminary field tests can often show false positives for ricin.

As authorities scurried to investigate three questionable packages discovered in Senate of-fice buildings, reports of suspicious items also came in from at least three senators’ offices in their home states.

Sen. Carl Levin said a staff member at his Sagi-naw, Mich., office would spend the night in a hos-pital as a precaution after discovering a suspicious letter. The staff member had no symptoms, Levin said in a statement. He expected to learn prelimi-nary results of tests on the letter by Thursday.

Suspect arrested for ricin

| THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOSTON — In what could be a major break in the case of the Boston Marathon, investigators are on the hunt for a man seen in a department-store surveillance video dropping off a bag at the site of the bombings that killed three people, a Boston politician said Wednesday.

Separately, a law enforcement official confirmed that authorities

have found an image of a potential suspect but don’t know his name.

Meanwhile, the third victim was identified as Boston Univer-sity graduate student Lu Lingzi by The Shenyang Evening News, a state-run Chinese newspaper.

Wednesday’s developments — less than 48 hours after the at-tack that more than 170 wounded at the world’s oldest and most prestigious marathon — marked a possible turning point in a case that has investigators analyzing photos and videos frame by frame for clues to who carried out the twin bombings and why.

HIGH RISK,

NEW PRACTICE FACILITY CONFIRMEDShondell says plan includes building for basketball, volleyball

HIGH REWARD| LINDSEY GELWICKS FEATURES EDITOR features@bsudailynews.com

*Student names have been changed to protect their identities.

Kevin* got involved in the world of pot six years ago as a freshman in high school. His parents wouldn’t let him spend the night at friends’ houses, which meant drinking was out of the question. He wasn’t too keen on it anyway.

That left him with getting high. When his best friend suggested it, he figured “why not?” He would be able to get away with it a lot easier than drinking.

Pretty soon he was dabbling in selling, transporting weed down his high school hallway. In one in-stance, he hid it in a water bottle with coffee beans.

“It was just the beginning of me selling weed,” Kevin said. “I was just a delivery boy. I got weed from this guy in the locker room, and I was going to give it to another guy in the other locker room.”

Society’s attitude toward smok-ing marijuana is becoming more relaxed, especially among Indiana college students. Over the past four years, the number of Indiana college students who smoke has increased from 25 percent to 34 percent, according to the Indiana College Substance Use Survey.

When it comes to image among peers, students show no real concern either. Seven percent said they thought other students would strongly disapprove if they tried pot once or twice. Nine percent said they would strongly disapprove

if they smoked occasionally and 17 percent said their peers would strongly disapprove if they found out they smoked regularly.

Perhaps, this is why Kevin has had success in his business.

In the past two years since he started college, Kevin estimates he has earned more than $25,000 sell-ing pot. That doesn’t include what he earned selling in high school. He said he wouldn’t even be able to estimate that since he doesn’t keep paper records.

His “records” instead come in the form of what he refers to as “glass” — his bongs, pipes and other para-phernalia that he’s bought over the years. At one point he had 17 bongs, all with the attachments.

Despite illegality, student marijuana dealers profit from growing number of buyers on campus

Ball State athletics will soon an-nounce a plan for a new volley-ball and basketball practice facil-ity, along with the possibility of other improved sports facilities.

Ball State women’s volleyball

coach Steve Shondell confirmed that a new basketball and volleyball practice facility will be built on the northwest side of Worthen arena. New basketball locker rooms will be included in the new practice facility, while the old ones will be expanded and used by the women’s and men’s volleyball teams.

“Having a brand new practice facility is huge,” Shondell said. “I really think it is going to help recruiting. A new practice field isn’t going to help with atten-dance at events, but it sure is go-

ing to help with recruiting.”A person, who asked to stay

anonymous and is familiar with a fundraising plan to pay for the facilities, said it involves mil-lions in funds for improvements, including more sports facilities than volleyball and basketball.

Shondell said he wasn’t sure if other athletic facilities would receive improvements or how much updated facilities would cost. He did say, though, that funds from a campaign would go toward updated facilities.

Joan Todd, executive director of Public Relations, said in an email the university will make an announcement about the ath-letic department Saturday.

“President Gora and Athletic Director Bill Scholl will make a presentation of an exciting new vision for the future of Ball State Athletics,” Todd said in an email.

Todd, along with university spokesman Tony Proudfoot, de-clined to provide more details

Runners to recognize Boston Marathon victims

City Council President Ste-phen Murphy, who said he was briefed by Boston police, said investigators saw the im-age on surveillance footage they got from a department store near the finish line, and matched the findings with wit-ness descriptions of someone leaving the scene.

“I know it’s very active and very fluid right now — that they are on the chase,” Murphy told The Associated Press. He added: “They may be on the verge of arresting someone, and that’s good.”

The bombs were crudely fashioned from ordinary kitchen pressure cookers packed with explosives, nails and ball bearings, investigators and

others close to the case said. Investigators suspect the devices were then hidden in black duffel bags and left on the ground.

As a result, they were looking for images of someone lugging a dark, heavy bag.

One department store video “has confirmed that a suspect is seen dropping a bag near the point of the second explosion and heading off,” Murphy said.

Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., said suspicious letters at his Phoe-nix office had been cleared with nothing dangerous found. A package at Sen. John Cornyn’s Dallas-area office also was de-clared harmless, a fire depart-ment spokesman said.

All three packages in the Capitol complex turned out to be safe, Capitol police spokes-woman Makema Turner said

late Wednesday. But a man was still being questioned after be-ing stopped in connection with the packages, she said.

All the activity came as ten-sions were high in Washington and across the country follow-ing Monday’s bombings at the Boston Marathon that killed three people and injured more than 170. The FBI said there was no indication of a connec-tion between the letters and the bombing. The letters to Obama

and Wicker were postmarked April 8, before the marathon.

Capitol Police swiftly ramped up security, and lawmakers and staff were cautioned away from some parts of the Hill complex. After hours of jangled nerves, officials signaled it was safe to move throughout the area and people settled back to normal, if watchful, activity.

Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., said that police had a suspect in mind in the Wicker mailing.

A Ball State student will be lacing up his running shoes again three days after run-ning the Boston Marathon, but this time he will be run-ning in support of his fellow marathon participants who were injured in the bombing.

Justin Glancy, a junior ex-ercise science major, said he hopes to join the Ball State Runners Association in hon-oring those affected by the Boston Marathon bombing by running two miles around campus at 5 p.m. today.

“I think it’s a great thing to show support for those indi-viduals who have been a part of the tragedy in Boston,” Glancy said. “In times such as this, it brings people togeth-er and so I would really hope for people that may not even have an interest to get out to connect with some people.”

The event will be free and open to the public.

“[It’s] a time and a place to reflect on what happened and to be unified under this situation, as Americans and as people,” said club presi-dent Josh Fern, a junior or-ganizational communication major. “It’s important to ev-eryone, not just to the people in Boston, but everyone ... Doing it in more places is im-portant, just for that chance [to reflect.]”

Glancy was at the airport, having left straight from the finish line, when he first found out about the bombs.

“I was going through secu-rity when I started getting phone calls asking if I was OK and I had no idea that any-thing was going on,” Glancy said. “I was very thankful for myself that I was safe, but as they kept showing more and

more footage, realizing that about an hour ago that is where I was with thousands of people there ... [that was] unsettling a little bit of how quickly things can change.”

He said he was probably on one of the last flights out, if not the last, at 4:30 p.m. The pilot paused on the runway for 10 minutes, unsure of if they were allowed to fly, Glancy said.

Even though his first Bos-ton Marathon was unsettling, Glancy said he is not going to stop running,

“For me, I think with this experience, it is always go-ing to be a twofold,” he said. “A lot of people had talked about not doing Boston any-more, or not doing any more races, but that’s exactly what people that plan those type of attacks want, they want people to be afraid.”

Besides the Run for Boston, Glancy said he will take 10 days off and then train for Chicago marathon in Octo-ber, with hopes of again run-ning in Boston next April.

“My goal now is to run it ev-ery year for as long as I can, as long as I qualify.” Glancy said.

Social media chair for the Ball State Runners Associa-tion Justin Miller, a sopho-more sports administration major, said they first began discussing organizing the Run for Boston on Tuesday.

He said the turnout isn’t what is important, and the organization hopes for a group of about 30, despite

predicted rainstorms. Miller and Fern both said the run-ning community will stand together to honor the vic-tims, no matter the weather.

“They picked the wrong group to try to attack,” Mill-er said. “Runners are a very tight community, and we believe we should all come together to honor and help our fellow runners that have been affected by this.”

The run will follow the club’s usual route, beginning at LaFollette Field, follow-ing down McKinley Avenue, through the Quad, back up McKinley Avenue under Park Hall, past Bracken Library and finish back at LaFollette Field.

“Everybody at the run club ... we are really excited, not only to run, but to run with a cause for the people at the Boston Marathon.” Fern said.

Glancy said he appreciated that Ball State was honor-ing the marathon, and shows that people will be able to move forward.

“All of the events that are going on ... just goes to show that the running community is showing a lot of persever-ance and persistence.” Glan-cy said.

DUDE LOOKS LIKE A LADY

| RYAN HOWE CHIEF REPORTER rhowe@bsu.edu

Charlie Kraus looks at a man standing in a mirror.

A pale, freshly-shaven face stares back into his brown eyes. His strong jaw line and thick, dark eyebrows make it very clear that he is indeed, a man. Within hours, and with help from the make-up laid out in front of him and a steady hand, a woman will be looking back at Kraus.

Under the lights in a Park Hall bathroom, Kraus picks up a flesh-colored wedge dipped in founda-tion, and begins to paint his face.

“It’s not like I’m just putting on make-up, it is so much more than that,” Kraus said. “When I’m finished, my entire personality changes and I’m not Charlie any-more, I’m Tequila.”

Tequila Mockingbird is Kraus’s drag persona. At least once a week Kraus finds time to take on this persona. Sometimes he performs

at Downtown Olly’s in Indianapo-lis, other times he takes on the per-sona long enough to paint his face and then wash it off in the shower.

Drag queens are men who im-personate women in the way they dress and act for performances.

Drag is a large part of LGBTQ culture and most queens perform in gay bars. The men that perform drag step into that character when they perform and strip it away with the make-up and clothes.

Kraus and his persona, Tequila, are completely different people. Te-quila is more outgoing and commu-nicates better than Kraus. Although Kraus is still outgoing, his insecuri-ties sometimes hinder his ability to approach people. Tequila is confi-dent and doesn’t concern herself with opinions of others.

“She is a punk rock chick who plays with gender roles and is very androgynous, and she loves the middle finger,” Kraus said.

Drag queens reveal secrets behind the costume, make-up

DN PHOTO BOBBY ELLISCharlie Kraus puts on make-up to transform into his drag persona, Tequila Mockingbird. Spectrum will host a drag show this Saturday.

DN PHOTO STEPHANIE TARRANTIndy CD and Vinyl record store in Broad Ripple will celebrate National Record Store day by having DJs play throughout the day on Saturday. Local shop Village Green Records will be discounting vinyl and have nine different bands play in a show this Saturday.

“There’s people in it for the mon-ey, and then there’s people who love weed,” Kevin said, clarifying the two main types of dealers.

Both he and his friend Sam* fall in the latter category. The former is what they refer to as a “trapper.” They’re the ones who will rip off customers, handing them half a gram when they paid for a full.

“They’re like flippin’ weed to make money and buy cars,” Kevin said. He paused for a moment. “I guess I’m doing the same thing to buy bongs right now.”

But it’s different. Kevin’s interest in the business is genuine.

“I like glass. Bongs. See that 1K pipe?” he said, pointing to a pipe he spent $1,000 on. “You don’t buy 1K pipes if you don’t have a pas-sion for it.”

Sam is the same way. He sells to his friends to make extra cash to support his smoking habit, which began his last day of high school.

“It’s my favorite activity,” he said. “It’s fun not just to get high, but it’s fun to smoke. I like my bongs. It’s so sociable. You can just talk and chill and do whatever.”

Sam keeps his business small, making at most $100 a week by selling mostly to his friends, many of whom get better deals because of it. The longer a dealer knows his customers, the more likely they are to get cheaper prices.

Kevin’s customer base spreads a little wider. He sells to friends, friends of friends and people who come up to him in his classes. On average, he’s had 55 regular cus-

tomers at one time. But when it comes to people who ask to buy from him at parties, he’s sold to nearly 200.

“This year got a little hectic,” Kevin said. “That’s not how I like my business at all. But I’ve made a lot of money and can’t really complain.”THE CHANGING MARKET

His high customer base was the reason Kevin got out of selling bud right before Spring Break. His popularity grew too wide for his comfort. Not only was he selling to friends, but also to other dealers.

Over break he went to California, where he met up with a guy who makes BHO, or butane hash oil.

The yellow, sap-like substance contains almost pure THC, no plant additives. It only takes a pin-head-sized amount to get high.

Now, Kevin only deals oil, which is big out in California but still fair-ly new in the Midwest.

Buy selling BHO, Kevin can make just as much money before with less the work. Right now he has two peo-ple who have given him $900 each for an ounce of BHO. He sends that to California, and the oil gets sent to him. Because it only costs him $600 an ounce, Kevin ends up receiving an ounce free, which he can contin-ue to sell or smoke himself.

“I give them their share of what they paid for because they’re not getting the felony if they get caught,” he said as to why there’s such a high upcharge.THE RISK

It’s one thing to get caught smok-ing pot. In Indiana, carrying less

than 30 grams is a misdemeanor and could result in up to one year in jail or a maximum fine of $5,000.

For first-time offenders, many are placed on supervised proba-tion with community service and drug classes, which cost $400 for a year, according to Lonna Jordan, executive director of Delaware County Community Corrections.

If they’re caught dealing, they would be immediately arrested, said Bob Fey, University Police Department’s assistant chief of police.

The penalty for dealing is a felo-ny with up to three years in prison and a maximum fine of $10,000.

Despite current legislation be-ing back and forth about decrim-inalizing possession, the stance on dealing hasn’t wavered; it’ll stay a felony.

Even though both Sam and Kevin are aware that what they’re doing is illegal, it doesn’t really faze them. They’ve both been stopped times by cops af-ter smoking several, but neither have ever gotten caught.

“I don’t even worry about cops,” Kevin said. “I worry about people robbing me. I get stuff sent from California, and I don’t worry about cops.”

Though Kevin hasn’t been robbed, he knows friends who have, two by the same person with a gun. That’s why Kevin has a strict policy against letting cus-tomers bring friends over that he doesn’t know.

But it can be difficult sometimes.“As a dealer everyone approaches

you. Your name gets out there, espe-

cially if you have good s--t,” he said. According to Sam, more rules to

follow regarding selling weed can be found in the song “Ten Crack Commandments” by Biggie Smalls. Don’t front people cash. Don’t brag about how much you have on you. Don’t talk about your money.

“I know it’s way more insane be-cause it’s crack, but it’s a good idea to follow at least most of those rules,” he said.THE FUTURE

Sam has stayed up-to-date on changes in legislation regarding marijuana. Although he doesn’t plan on selling in the future, legal-ization would be beneficial so he could continue smoking.

Kevin on the other hand, wants to get more involved in other as-pects of the business by moving to a state where it’s legal and open-ing his own Grow Op. He has even considered starting to grow in his closet next year.

But his ultimate dream is to com-bine his love for glass art and weed by opening up his own bong shop.

Even if that’s not the case, he has no worries about how dealing and smoking now could affect his fu-ture later.

“I can get a job. I can sell my-self. It’s all about being person-able,” Kevin said. “Obviously I’m not hard-pressed with talking to people and setting up deals. As long as I have the degree, which is what I’m in school for, I feel like I can do whatever I want, whether that’s glass blowing, having my own glass shop or running an art gallery.”

Clients dip in and out, some making more of an occasion out of the trans-action than others. Some may return within a day or two, in need of more to satisfy their fixation. Others are not quite as addicted.

Nevertheless, the record store and its workers welcome every music freak with open arms, no matter their upbringing. And for those new to the market, hesitancy is more easily melt-ed than the wax of a crisp new vinyl.

Travis Harvey, owner of Muncie’s Village Green Records, was “a living library” to his friends growing up,

Harvey began developing a relation-ship with VGR founder Jared Cheek, eventually inhabiting the “open shell” of a shop and making it his own, us-ing the store as a means of inspiring the creative community of Muncie through his expertise.

“Instead of being a living library to only my close friends, now I was able to begin to reach out to a broader au-dience,” Harvey said. “I was able to influence people of every walk of life because they walked down the street and came in and could receive that relationship that I was sharing with just my friends beforehand.”

In an effort to spark dia-logue about sexual violence in the LGBTQ community, two Ball State organizations will be facilitating a simulated talk show.

The Sexual Threat Oppres-sion Prevention team has joined Spectrum to present their “Talk Show” event, on issues surrounding sexual violence. The Talk Show will be held at 8 p.m. today in L.A. Pittenger Student Center 301.

The event is set up as a con-versation about a fake event that has taken place concern-ing sexual violence. In the show, both the survivor and alleged perpetrator charac-ters will interact with an ex-

pert and a host, each support-ed by a “friend” character.

“We establish with [the] audience [that] this is a role-play and introduce ourselves in real life and also what role we play,” STOP facilitator and victim advocate Allison Wyn-bissinger said. “Individuals share their stories and their perspective and we open that up to audience for questions. At the end, everyone steps out of their role and we de-brief and discuss how that experience was.

Wynbissinger said STOP’s goal is to start the conversa-tion and make people aware of the resources on campus to help victims.

“Sexual violence in general isn’t talked about a whole lot and we raise awareness and get dialogue going that it hap-pens and the nature of it,” she said. “We’re trying to provide education about the topic and debunk things society throws out that people buy into.”

Spectrum treasurer Jamie Goebel said Spectrum has collaborated with the Coun-seling Center in the past, but this will be a new kind of event for the student organi-zation.

Goebel said students that have attended “Talk Show” events in the past forget they are role-playing.

“They rehearse and do it well,” Goebel said. “A lot of students think it’s real until they break it down and have the discussion about it. That’s a good thing because it im-pacts them more,” he said.

Wynbissinger said these events provoke emotion and sometimes strongly affect members of the audience.

“This can trigger some emo-tions, some memories, it can cause responses from people who have been victims or are survivors,” Wynbissinger said. “We have counselors in audience to provide support and talk with.”

Event to serve as simulation for LGBTQ community violence

New shuttle buses feature ramps for students with disabilities and can be used off-campus for field trips and potentially as an airport shuttle.

Two new buses mean cleaner emission and lower maintenance costs said Sue Weller, director of Facilities Business Services and Transportation.

“Some of the buses that are running are old,” she said. Weller said the university has a plan to replace some buses every

couple of years, each currently at a cost of $160,000. Those buses that are replaced will be kept around and used for spare parts to fix the other, older buses.

The main reason for changing the buses is an increase in mainte-nance costs as the buses get older.

“We are just spending so much money keeping the older buses run-ning,” Weller said.

Another incentive to purchase new buses is newer engine technology.“These buses are built to new engine standards. They burn bio-

diesel which means a very clean burning bus,” Weller said. These new engines mean higher reliability which will allow them

to not only have local, on-campus routes, but also take students on fieldtrips, athletic events and used as airport shuttles.

These buses are also equipped with lifts to allow students with physical handicaps to ride them as well.

Weller said she just hopes students will ride these new buses and let the transportation department know what they think.

“Our feedback has been pretty positive,” she said. “We always want to hear what students feel like.”

Members of Spark and in-coming senators took their oaths and set their vision for the year ahead during the Student Government Asso-ciation’s inaugural ceremony Wednesday afternoon.

The ceremony did not go without tears and reflection from the past slate as they looked back on their 399 days in office.

“The way I’d like to look at my experience with SGA is it’s been like a TV show,” said Chris Wilkey, now former president of SGA.

Wilkey compared his exec-utive board to the cast of the show “Duck Dynasty.”

“They’re always doing the most random things and they always have some problem that comes up and they al-ways work together and are there for each other and are always there to make sure things get done,” Wilkey said.

He also said it had taken ev-ery single day in office to get

those things done, which is a job that Spark has had just more than seven weeks to pre-pare for since their win was declared in late February.

“It’s a really strange pro-cess, especially when you win, and you’ve got like a month of transition time,” said Chloe Anagnos, now vice president. “I was kinda sitting around really bored and then I realized, ‘Oh my gosh, Wednesday I’m going to have so much to do and I’m so excited.’”

The slate has been meet-ing with the past executive board as well as President Jo Ann Gora during that transi-tion period to set the stage for their new positions. Inau-guration was pushed back to the last two weeks of school to give the incoming execu-tive board time to be trained and adjust.

The new year for the SGA will be kicked off with the planning of the Blue Light application and pre-game parties for the football games that aim to increase attendance and participa-tion from students, accord-ing to Malachi Randolph, now president of SGA. Both ideas were integral to the slate’s platform during the

campaign season.The work for the new exec-

utive board will now begin. They will have an agenda meeting today to address what they will do in their next senatorial meeting as well as a meeting with the athletic department.

The past executives also had some advice for the new slate as they prepared to take on these endeavors, among others.

“I’m not going to sugar-coat this experience for you,” Heather Closson, now former vice president. “It’s hard, it’s challenging. There are going to be days where you’re go-ing to be absolutely drained. But, as long as you are there for each other and support each other, you are going to come out on top.”

The incoming executive board expressed their un-derstanding of these chal-lenges and the need for unity among not only the SGA, but among the student body.

“We believe in the univer-sity,” Randolph said. “We understand the importance of unity and strength and oneness and because of that, we wish to exercise the influ-ence of that not on you, but among you.”

Ball State will host the head of Welsh School of Architec-ture at Cardiff University in the United Kingdom for two days to compare international research on low carbon cities with students.

Phil Jones has been working internationally on researching low carbon cities can lessen the impact on environment.

“His area of expertise is mis-sion critical, actually not only for our institution but for

any institution that takes the environment seriously,” said Guillermo Vasquez, the dean of the College of Architecture and Planning. “It’s always very interesting for us to see what Europe, or in this case the UK, are doing and compare notes.”

For the past five years he has worked with Bruce Race, an associate professor practice, on his doctoral thesis on how architects are planning for cli-mate change, and how climate change will change the form of our cities.

Jones will be speaking at 5 p.m. in the Architecture Building about the push to-wards being carbon neutral.

“[I would like students to] really to appreciate the need to design more sustainabil-ity,” Jones said. “Just to ap-

preciate the basic elements of sustainability. It’s not dif-ficult ... It’s a need to get back to people. It’s not rocket sci-ence, it’s just going back to basic design principals.”

He is also working with stu-dios and master students of urban design at the Indianap-olis center.

“It is our practice that when-

ever we bring a speaker, espe-cially one of his caliber, we get them real busy,” Vasquez said. “We line up classes, we line up smaller groups for more informal conversations and give them as much exposure as possible.”

Last year, Jones said he ad-vised students over Skype, but in person, he has noticed dif-ferences between schools.

Jones and Race said Ball State has more interdisciplin-ary opportunities, while in the UK they are more focused on the building and physics side of design.

But, they both said, both Ball State and Cardiff University have the goal of producing ar-chitects who are useful and can design building from day one at a future job.

Shondell said he found out about the fundraising plan two or three months ago during two meetings with the Board of Trustees, the Ball State foundation and other Ball State coaches.

“We needed practice facili-ties in the worst way,” Shon-

dell said. “They were really planning to do this and get us excited about the future.”

Shondell said he believes the university has already raised “quite a bit” of mon-ey, and will be able to make the improvement within the next few years.

“From what I’ve heard it’s unfortunately two to three years... when it will be com-pleted,” Shondell said. “I wish it would be here in an-other year.”

In a roller coaster season that’s seen both highs and lows, Ball State reached its highest point on Wednesday.

Ball State traveled to Indiana to take on a Hoosier baseball team that’s ranked No. 19 in the country.

The Cardinals came out victo-rious, winning 5-3 behind the arms of starter Clay Manering and reliever Tyler Jordan.

Kevin Schlotter singled to start the top of the third, then fresh-man catcher Sam Tidaback singled to advance Schlotter to third with no outs.

Elbert DeVarie stepped up to the plate and grounded to sec-ond, resulting in Tidaback get-ting the first out, but Schlotter came home and gave Ball State an early 1-0 lead.

After Wes Winkle singled, Blake Beemer was safe on a throwing error to load the bases

with just one out, sending Sean Godfrey to the plate.

Godfrey sent a fly ball to center, and the throw from center went flying past the third baseman, allowing DeVarie and Winkle to score and extending the lead to 3-0.

It didn’t take Indiana long to respond, as they put the lead-off hitter in the bottom of the third on first with a single, then he advanced to third during a pickoff attempt that got past Cody Campbell.

A routine fly ball to center could have been an out, but Winkle missed it and the ball rolled to the wall, allowing Indiana to score and the batter to reach third.

Manering got out of the inning without giving up another run.

In the top of the fourth, Schlotter and Tidaback were at it again. Schlotter walked, and Tidaback doubled, bring-ing in Schlotter and extending the lead to 4-1.

The Hoosiers cut into the lead in the top of the seventh. After Scott Donley singled, Dustin DeMuth crushed a home run over the fence to cut the lead to just one.

Then the rain hit, the rain that has seemed to follow the Cardi-nals everywhere this season.

Already seven games for Ball State had been rained out this season, and the rain delay threat-ened to end the game early.

Eventually, the rain stopped and about three hours later, the game resumed.

With a man on first and two outs, Indiana’s Dustin DeMuth hit a long fly ball to right field that seemed like it could give In-diana the lead, but it settled into Godfrey’s glove to end the in-ning, Ball State still leading 4-3.

The Cardinals tacked on an insurance run in the top of the ninth. DeVarie started the in-ning by belting a double to left field, then advanced to third off a Winkle sacrifice. When Beemer grounded out to third, DeVarie sprinted home, ex-tending the lead to 5-3.

The Hoosiers gave its last breath in the bottom of the ninth, when Jordan hit the leadoff batter. However, Ball State quickly turned a double play, and then induced a fly out to end the game.

For Ball State, it was its first win against both a Big Ten

school and a ranked team this season.

The win increased Ball State’s record to 16-17, and Indiana fell to 26-8.

Ultimately, the game counts

as just one more dash in the win column, and not even one in the MAC at that.

But there’s little doubt that this one win will feel even more special to the Ball State team.

Fans to get glimpse of new Ball State defense

| MAT MIKESELL SPORTS EDITOR @MatMikesell

Wednesday’s practice was the 13th and final spring practice for the Ball State football team, leading up to the Cardinal and White Spring Game Saturday.

The game will be the third under coach Pete Lembo, who has been pushing to make the game a community event.

“We want it to be a celebration of Ball State football in the spring,” Lembo said. “We want everyone to come out and get a sneak preview of what they will see in the fall.”

Ball State had several personnel questions entering spring practice in late March, and some answers could come in Saturday’s Spring Game. But Lembo said that some of the team’s depth chart decisions might come in the fall once the season begins.

Until then, here is a breakdown of what to expect from Ball State’s offense, defense and special teams in the Spring Game. OFFENSE

Seven starters remain on offense from a season ago, five of them being skill players. But offensive coordinator Rich Skrosky said the biggest challenge for his offense in the spring has been injuries.

Wide receivers Jamill Smith and Chris Shillings have seen little to no practice time the entire spring because of injuries. Smith is still recovering from offseason

foot surgery that he had after the bowl game. Wide receiver Connor Ryan has also seen limited participation because of injuries.

With the injuries, Skrosky has been able to see newer faces get snaps in the first team offense.

“[The wide receivers] should be able to execute things well,” Skrosky said. “They did some good things [Wednesday] in practice that hopefully will carry over to Saturday.”

Skrosky said the biggest question mark on the offense still is the offensive line, which only has guard Jordan Hansel as the only returning starter from a year ago. But underclassmen in Jacob Richard and Jalen Schlachter have gotten three full weeks to work at the offensive line, which has shown growth in their game.

But their protection will be tested in the spring game when the offensive line will see live game action for the first time.

“[Richard] has a stabilizing feature to him,” Skrosky said. “He’s the one that kind of keeps that all going.”

One recruit from the 2013 class that is already on campus can be found in the backfield — running back Teddy Williamson — who Skrosky expects will get a healthy amount of carries in the Spring Game.

With the lack of depth at the running back position, it is possible Williamson could avoid being redshirted in the fall. Skrosky said Williamson has used the spring to adjust to the speed of the game from the high school level, which has benefitted him greatly.

DEFENSEIn the offseason, Ball State

announced a reconstruction of the defense after strug-gling in 2012.

It’s not just the players that have to get used to the adjustment in a live game action, the defensive coaches have to be prepared as well and defensive coordinator Jay Bateman believes they are prepared.

“We’ll treat it like a game with guys in the press box and communicating signals,” Bateman said. “I feel really good going forward about how our defensive staff has been set up.”

Ball State’s defense lost four full-time starters in the offseason to graduation, which means there will be new players fighting for starting jobs that could be decided in the Spring Game. But the defense returns four of its top defensive

linemen in ends Jonathan Newsome and Nick Miles along with tackle Nate Ollie.

While Bateman said his returning defensive linemen have the potential to be all-Mid-American Conference selections in 2013, he said the most improvements have come from the secondary.

He specifically named safeties Brian Jones and J.C. Wade among others that have improved during spring practices. When it comes to the Spring Game, Bateman hopes their work in the practices translates to live action.

Or as Bateman calls it, “going up against live bullets.”

“I look forward to seeing those kids cut it loose and make some big plays,” he said. “Their skill sets are pretty good right now.”

But the most important thing Bateman wants to see from his defense Saturday is tackling. On several plays last season opposing teams were able to break out big plays because of missed tackles. From that, tackling has been a major focus for Ball State in the spring.

“The No. 1 thing for us is tackling,” Bateman said. “We

get a chance to live tackle some really good players [Saturday].”

SPECIAL TEAMSBall State lost arguably its

most sound players in Scott Kovanda in Steven Schott in the offseason, which as opened the door for a bundle of new players to replace them.

Lembo has always had a hand in coaching the special teams unit and said the competition has been welcoming in the spring.

“I do think the competition is making us better,” Lembo said. “I think that’s something you always hope develops over the course of the spring.”

Three punters are fighting for the starting spot in the fall: Kyle Schmidt, Alex Egan and Jason Puhr. As for placekicking, Scott Secor has been responsible for both kickoffs and field goal kicking.

As for Saturday, all the specialists will be put in situations that will allow the coaching staff to evaluate them.

Though the team hasn’t decided who will be the starters on special teams come fall, Lembo said he isn’t in any rush to name starters.

History tends to repeat itself. It’s true in na-tional events, and it’s true in every day life. That’s often just what life is like: it feels like déjà vu, whether it’s in our control or not.

That’s how I felt this week.There are a lot of things I remember about

Sept. 11, 2001; I was 12 and supposed to get my braces on that day, but I had to cancel my appointment with the orthodontist be-cause of ISTEP testing. In between exams, my friends and I learned about a plane hitting the first tower. While we knew it was bad, we didn’t truly grasp what it meant, we just knew our math teacher was in the back of the classroom bawling.

A week later, I heard the word anthrax for the first time after letters containing the sub-stance was sent to two senators and media offices. Once again, I didn’t understand what was happening when just a week prior I lived in what had felt like a relatively safe world.

This week, I found out about the Boston Marathon bombing as I got out of class and instantly got into reporter mode, trying to help the rest of the Daily News editorial board figure out how best to get informa-tion to students. After an exhausting day and night in the newsroom, I got home around 3:45 a.m. Tuesday and hit my head on the pil-low as soon as I walked in my bedroom.

After I woke up from my slumber six hours later, I really got to watch the footage for the first time and, like my sixth grade math teacher 11 years ago, I bawled. Just a day later, I heard the first report that a letter containing ricin was sent to Mississippi Sen. Roger Wicker.

Although I understand more about the ha-tred in the world as an adult, my 23-year-old self still struggles with comprehending events like 9/11, Aurora, Sandy Hook and the Boston Marathon. In a lot of ways, I’m that 12-year-old all over again.

An arrest was made in the ricin case and as of Wednesday night, there have been conflict-ing media reports regarding if authorities have a suspect in the Boston bombing. But even if we find out the culprits’ motives, the “why this happened” will be trivial. The pain after these events is the only thing that will make sense.

After the bombing Monday I heard some-one say, “You just don’t see this type of thing in America.” But that’s not true. We’ve seen it time after time: 9/11, Oklahoma City, Cen-tennial Olympic Park, the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

And it will happen again. History will re-peat itself. Like a lot of people, I’ve com-pared Boston to 9/11, and someday some-one will compare another act of hatred to the marathon bombing. I’ll cry for the lives lost and the survivors. I’ll search for unan-swered questions. My two young nephews will lose their innocence.

I don’t know when. I don’t know how. I don’t know where. But when it happens, I’ll become 12 years old again and lose my inno-cence all over again, too.

BOMBS REMIND ME OF LOST INNOCENCE

KELLY DICKEYSARCASM AND SMILESKELLY DICKEY IS A SENIOR JOURNALISM MAJOR AND WRITES ‘SARCASM AND SMILES’ FOR THE DAILY NEWS. HER VIEWS DO NOT NECESSARILY AGREE WITH THOSE OF THE NEWSPAPER.WRITE TO KELLY AT KMDICKEY @BSU.EDU.

It’s a clear, sunny day. Then there’s an explosion. It all seems to happen in a second. People are scream-ing and running down the street. White smoke bil-lows upward, filling the street already choked with panicked people and drifting up and mixing with the tops of buildings. Police officers jump into ac-tion, sifting through the rubble and carrying broken, injured citizens away from the hell.

The scene is familiar to college students. It looks like the World Trade Center attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, one of my oldest memories. It could be the London Subway Bombings of 2005, Anders Breivik’s attack in Oslo, Norway in 2001 or it could be the bombings in Boston on Monday.

Esteemed Indianapolis-based author John Green said on his YouTube channel Tuesday, “To call these attacks cowardly is an insult to cowards.”

Sights like these are all too familiar, especially for the current generation of 18 to 20-somethings. See-ing that a dozen or more innocent people have been killed or maimed because of someone’s religious be-liefs is upsetting. To see that 20 small children were massacred in an elementary school for no discern-ible reason at all defies imagination.

The only thing more disturbing than that is to see how many people were clearly “inspired” by these atrocities and attempted to do the same. They saw vicious killers as role models: heroes to be emulated.

It’s left the entire world with questions. The most common one must be “why?” Why? What kind of person would do this? What makes a human be-ing believe that harming other human beings is the answer: the best way forward? Are they ill, evil or both? Can we help a person like that? If not, can we at least stop them?

We do not have answers to these questions. Maybe we will someday, but for now we’re condemned to shocked disbelief.

Our villains are not the villains of the past. It seems the most despicable motive of a movie villain in the 40s or 50s was to harm a person for money. Money, a tangible thing that can be traded for other tangible things. It’s something that can at least be under-stood, if not condoned.

In the 21st century we grapple with an ideological

enemy: a slippery, squirming, slithering thing that defies observation and manifests itself in the dark-est recesses of the human mind.

When it rears its head we see the worst humanity has to offer but we also see the best.

Runners needed a place to sleep and shower af-ter the blasts. Bostonians used the Internet to offer their homes and beds to strangers. Others, hundreds if not thousands of miles away, helped to feed them through “Random Acts of Pizza,” converting a mean-spirited prank into a welcome gift.

Humanity now has the tools and the know-how to collaborate in ways never before imagined. This week in Boston, the forces for good came out in new and beautiful ways.

We have the power to share ideas, information and beauty at the click of a button. We have the power to turn intangible things like love, charity and data on a webpage into pizza, warm beds and hugs from reunited family members.

In the words of the great Charlie Chaplin, “You the people have the power, the power to create ma-chines, the power to create happiness. You the peo-ple have the power to make this life free and beauti-ful, to make this life a wonderful adventure.”

Those words were spoken 73 years ago and are somehow truer now than they were then.

Those who would create before they would destroy will win. We will always win because we outnumber the forces of destruction magnificently. Only when we forget this do we remain silent.

Be reminded of this when you see on the news that a white-supremacist group has been counter-marched by a peace group by a margin of 10 to 1. Never forget about “the helpers” in Fred Rogers’ now famous quote.

“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’ To this day, especially in times of ‘disaster,’ I remember my mother’s words, and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers — so many caring people in this world.”

Be a helper. You have the power. Now more than you ever have.

All this network buzz inspires participation. Word travels farther for the next six months, so get it out. Di-rect this energy homeward. Spend time with friends and family, interspersed with introspection. Respect-fully ride out changes with grace. Choose what you get, and create what you want. Include love.

Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is a 7 -- Even in the face of confrontation, ac-cess your cool head and glide past old barriers. There are calmer winds ahead. Celebrate with a home-cooked meal and cozy couch time.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is an 8 -- There’s so much to do. Streamlin-ing your routine saves precious time. Surround yourself with love, and start by giving it away. Have the party at your house, but don’t go overboard on preparation.

Cancer (June 22-July 22)Today is an 8 -- Your curiosity is aroused, and you’re tempted to buy something you may not need. Think it over. Your energy is best spent making money. Limit your guest list or the menu, or just make it a potluck.Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is a 7 -- Watch those nickels and dimes. You’re bringing them in, possibly the hard way. Walking relieves tension. Move quickly and with keen eyes. Travel later. Assert your desires today and tomorrow. Inspire, rather than demand.Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is an 8 -- You’re empowered and more sensitive. Dig deeper without being too critical. Resist the splurge temptation, and continue to increase personal assets. Observe the situation, and contemplate your next move. Pay back a favor.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Today is an 8 -- Make a decision you can live with. Hold firm to whatever’s most important. The more complete, the better. Be respectful. Defer gratification. There’s a potential conflict of interests. You have more friends than you realized.Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is a 7 -- Decide what you want. There’s a disagreement about priorities. Don’t push too hard. Check out other op-tions. Confront and diminish old fears. Postpone an outing. You’re attracting the attention of an important person.Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is an 8 -- It’s getting adventurous for the next two days. Don’t overlook career obligations; handle them before dashing off. Listen to feedback. Get friends to help, and you get to spend time with them.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is an 8 -- New opportunities develop. Work to achieve immediate goals. Right now, it’s better to receive than give. Minimize risks. Make big changes without spend-ing money. Consult distant associates for encouragement.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is an 8 -- You still have paperwork to finish. Continue to increase savings in the coming week. Assume responsibility. Talk about your feelings. Provide facts. You’ll have more help.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is an 8 -- Pay off another debt. Don’t believe everything you’ve learned. Watch out for misunderstandings or errors. Work out the details with your partner, and put your heads together behind closed doors. Uncork your passions.

| THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — Senate Re-publicans backed by a small band of rural-state Democrats scuttled the most far-reaching gun control legislation in two decades on Wednesday, re-fusing to tighten background checks on firearms buyers or ban assault weapons as they spurned the personal pleas of families of the victims of last winter’s elementary school shootings in Newtown, Conn.

“This effort isn’t over,” Presi-dent Barack Obama vowed at

the White House moments af-ter the defeat of one of his top domestic priorities. Obama, surrounded by Newtown rela-tives, said opponents of the leg-islation “caved to the pressure” of special interests in casting their votes.

An attempt to ban assault-style rifles went down, too, and a ban on high-capacity ammunition magazines faced the same fate in a series of showdown votes four months after a gunman killed 20 el-ementary school children and six staff members at Sandy Hook Elementary.

A bid to loosen restrictions on concealed weapons carried across state lines also fell.

That last vote marked a rare defeat for the National Rifle

Association on a day it gener-ally emerged triumphant over Obama, gun control advocates and individuals whose lives have been affected by mass shootings in Connecticut and elsewhere, some of whom watched from the spectator galleries above the Senate floor.

“Shame on you,” shouted one of them, Patricia Maisch, who was present two years ago when a gunman in Tucson, Ariz., killed six and wounded 13 others, including former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.

Vice President Joe Biden gav-eled the Senate back into order after the breach of decorum.

The background check mea-sure commanded a major-ity of senators, 54-46, but that was well short of the 60 votes

needed to advance. Forty-one Republicans and five Demo-crats sided to scuttle the plan.

In the hours before the key vote, Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., bluntly accused the National Rifle Association of making false claims about the expan-sion of background checks that he and Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., were backing.

“Where I come from in West Virginia, I don’t know how to put the words any plainer than this: That is a lie. That is sim-ply a lie,” he said, accusing the organization of telling its sup-porters that friends, neighbors and some family members would need federal permission to transfer ownership of fire-arms to one another.

The events were unlikely to

be the last word on an issue that Democratic leaders shied away from for nearly two

decades until Obama picked up on it after the Newtown shootings.

NEWS

AFFECTING THE BRAINCannabinoids, a type of neuron in the brain, become elevated after introducing THC into the blood. These neurons target specific parts of the brain: the basal ganglia, cerebellum and hippocampus.

BODY REACTIONWith your neurons firing quickly, other parts of your body react chemically. Dopamine and norepinephrine levels significantly rise, creating a feeling of euphoria, relaxation and pain modulation. With this hyperactivity, feelings of anxiety can also elevate and in some cases, sexual arousal.

CANNABINOIDSNaturally existing cannabinoids are used in the brain, controlling functions such as learning and memory, coordination, movement and control, and cognitive function.

THE MUNCHIESThe mystery of marijuana’s inflence was recently solved after the discovery of endocannabinoids. These molecules bind with receptors in the brain, specifically in the hypothalamus, the part of the brain responsible for hunger.

THE SCIENCE OF GETTING HIGH

HOW DOES MARIJUANA AFFECT YOUR BODY?

ALVEOLITransfers THC into the blood stream

INTO THE LUNGSUpon inhaling smoke, THC is absorbed into the bloodstream through the alveoli. Once in the blood stream, the THC reaches the brain.

Eighteen states and the District of Columbia have legalized medical marijuana, and Colorado and Washington legalized recreational marijuana in regulated amounts. This is an in-depth look at how THC affects the different parts of your anatomy.

HOW DOES MARIJUANA AFFECT THE REST OF YOUR BODY?

MYTHS ABOUT MARIJUANA DRUG TESTSHEMP SEED OILThe consumption of products with hemp, hemp seed or hemp seed oil does add THC to your blood system. However, much like poppy seeds, the amount of consumption to trigger a postive test makes this response unlikely.

SOURCES: science.howstuffworks.com/marijuana www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeF6rFN9orgDN GRAPHIC LAUREN CHAPMAN

SLOWING THE NEURONSTHC resembles the chemical anandamide, which normally functions to create a slight delay in transmission across neurons, which allows you to catch up and break focus.Too much THC removes this delay. Suddenly, neurons are constantly firing with momentum, creating a focus on whatever you’re thinking about, no matter what it is.

NEUROTRANSMITTERSThe brain’s chemical communication between neurons, these become hyper-active when THC is entered into the system.

AXON AND DENDRITEThese are the receptors that change chemi-cals to electrical charges that allow the brain to communicate through the nervous system.

HOW DOES MARIJUANA AFFECT YOUR BRAIN?

THC IN THE SYSTEMDepending on the potency of the marijuana ingested, tests can be positive up to several weeks after the initial use.
