BOSTON — Two bombs exploded in the crowded streets near the finish line of the Boston Marathon on Monday, killing at least three people and injuring more than 140 in a bloody scene of shattered glass and severed limbs that raised alarms that terrorists might have struck again in the U.S.

A White House official

speaking on condition of ano-nymity because the investiga-tion was still unfolding said the attack was being treated as an act of terrorism.

President Barack Obama vowed that those responsi-ble will “feel the full weight of justice.”

As many as two unexplod-ed bombs were also found near the end of the 26.2-mile course as part of what ap-peared to be a well-coordinat-ed attack, but they were safely disarmed, according to a se-nior U.S. intelligence official, who also spoke on condition of anonymity because of the continuing investigation.

The fiery twin blasts took place about 10 seconds and about 100 yards apart, knock-ing spectators and at least one runner off their feet, shat-tering windows and send-ing dense plumes of smoke rising over the street and through the fluttering na-tional flags lining the route. Blood stained the pavement, and huge shards were missing from window panes as high as three stories.

“They just started bring-ing people in with no limbs,” said runner Tim Davey of Richmond, Va. He said he and his wife, Lisa, tried to shield their children’s eyes from

the gruesome scene inside a medical tent that had been set up to care for fatigued runners, but “they saw a lot.”

“They just kept filling up with more and more casual-ties,” Lisa Davey said. “Most everybody was conscious. They were very dazed.”

As the FBI took charge of the investigation, authorities shed no light on a motive or who may have carried out the bombings, and police said they had no suspects in cus-tody. Officials in Washington said there was no immediate claim of responsibility.

After explosions shook the fin-ish line of the Boston Marathon, the Ball State community scram-bled to find family and friends who were in the area.

Ball State alumnus Michael Suer had finished the race and was safely back in his hotel room when the bomb went off.

“Then I start getting these texts from my brother-in-law, and all these people saying ‘Hey, are you OK? Are you OK?’” Suer said. “We turned on the news and were like ‘wow.’”

Suer was one of three reg-istered Boston Marathon participants from Muncie. Melissa McGrath, assistant professor of speech-language pathology, participated in the race. Mc-Grath’s husband informed Ball State to tell her students that she was unharmed after the attack.

Shawn Hickey, a Ball State junior musical theatre major, is from Boston and said it had been hard to get in touch with her family and friends since cellphone tow-ers were reportedly down for some time after the attack took place. Many of her friends from high school were watching the

race. One was at the 26-mile marker about 15 minutes be-fore the explosion.

“I got a lot of Facebook mes-sages from people saying they are OK which was really

nice,” she said. “I was able to call my house and talk to my parents. It made me feel a lot better to get in touch with them.”

Freshman mar-keting major Bry-an Kubel’s high school classmate was watching the race from about a block away from the explosion site.

Kubel said it took him about an hour and a half to get ahold of his friend.

Ball State softball is on a roll. A pair of Mid-American Con-

ference West honors went hand-in-hand with the team’s perfect 5-0 record over the last week.

Junior left fielder Jennifer Gil-bert was named the MAC West Player of the Week.

In the team’s last five games, Gilbert accumulated 16 RBIs, eight runs scored and six home runs.

Now with 19 home runs, Gil-bert has tied the single-season conference record set by Kelli Metzger of Akron in 1999.

Metzger previously held the re-cord for career RBIs as well, with 167. Gilbert not only tied, but easily moved past that mark last week with her new total of 173 career RBIs.

Coach Craig Nicholson knows that great individual play is important, but also knows that it comes as a result of great team play.

“Having a constant in the middle of your order is great for an offense,” Nicholson said of Gilbert. “The people around her are doing a pretty good job. If you’re going to drive in that many runs, you’re going to have to have people with good at-bats and people on base.”

Junior Taylor Rager, for ex-ample, has started just one less

game than Gilbert this season. Along with a .418 batting aver-age, Rager has accumulated 51 hits and 30 RBIs.

Senior outfielder Amanda Car-penter has added 31 RBIs and 25 runs of her own.

It has not been all about of-fense though.

The MAC West recognizes one player and one pitcher on a weekly basis. Last week, a Ball State player earned each honor. It was the Cardinals’ fifth sweep of the awards this season.

Freshman pitcher Nicole Stein-bach shares the MAC Pitcher of the Week honors with Central Michigan’s Kara Dornbos.

Steinbach opened the week with a win over Akron. The freshman held her conference opponent to just two hits and three walks over seven in-nings, all while throwing five strikeouts.

Steinbach has a 2.29 ERA this season. With 16 starts and 15 complete games on the season, she has given up 113 hits while striking out 90 hitters.

Ball State has been offensively dominant in recent years. In seven years with Nicholson as coach, the program has set countless records and earned multiple accolades as a result of their high-powered offenses.

The solid play from both sides of the ball will only ensure that more individual players have the opportunity to earn recognition from outside the program.

Ball State will return to ac-tion at 6 p.m. on Wednesday at Ohio State.

| DAVID POLASKI STAFF REPORTER @DavidPolaski

Ball State baseball led Bowl-ing Green 1-0 in the top of the fourth last Tuesday at Ball Di-amond. The visitors hit a deep fly ball out to center field, where Ball State outfielder Wes Winkle settled under it, ready to send his team back into the dugout.

He misjudged the ball; it came down and hit Winkle in the head. The ball rolled to the wall and both runners scored, giving Bowling Green the lead.

The play was a microcosm of the season for Ball State so far.

Little mistakes leading to bigger problems is an issue Ball State coach Rich Maloney has seen all season.

“Whenever a little thing seems to happen with us, that little thing ends up being a bigger thing,” Maloney said. “That’s one of the things in building the program that we have to get out of our system.”

Ball State encountered anoth-er one of those on Sunday in its 6-3 loss to Central Michigan.

Leading 3-2 in the top of the ninth, Ball State was looking to put away the final three batters and win its second straight Mid-American Con-ference series.

With a shot to get the save, lefty Miles Moeller hit the first batter of the inning.

The hit batter was the little mistake that snowballed into a big inning for Central Michigan.

Three singles, a double and a walk later, the Chippewas had six runs and Maloney was left scratching his head, won-dering what went wrong.

“The guys have to under-stand when something hap-pens that they don’t want, they have to play through it,” Maloney said. “Now there have been times when we did play through it, just not enough this season.”

Ball State played through it just an inning earlier. Central Michigan put its fastest player

on base and moved him to third through a steal and sacrifice fly, ready to tie the game.

With a 3-2 count and two outs, Moeller fired a pitch up and in. The batter swung and missed, ending the inning and igniting the Ball State faithful.

Unfortunately for Ball State, it couldn’t score in the bottom of the eighth, meaning there was no margin for error in the top of the ninth.

“Our margins are so small that we have to grind it out, we’re not a team of stars,” Ma-loney said. “And when they’re that small, the little things show up more.”

Good teams find a way to win games they deserve to lose. For Ball State, it has been a season where it has been losing games it deserves to win, a signature of a re-building team.

To the Cardinals’ credit, the team has already won more games this year than all of last season. Despite all the inopportune errors, missed chances to get a timely hit, or a dropped fly ball in center that could have ended the in-ning, Maloney said this team

has shown a lot of progress.The next step, Maloney said,

is becoming mentally sound enough to make those game-al-tering plays that are the differ-ence between a win and a loss.

“We have to get a little bit better in some of those lit-tle facets and not let a little bump in the road turn into a big bump,” Maloney said. “Sometimes we do that and we’re pretty good. Sometimes we don’t, that’s why we’re a team that’s hovering around .500 right now.”

To the average football fan, a position change from wide re-ceiver to defensive end could be a radical swap.

That move is exactly what Ball State’s Trey Gardner is adjusting to this spring.

“It was just a chance to get on the field,” Gardner said. “It was a tough decision but I was ready to go ahead with it so I could play.”

In his two seasons as wide receiver for Ball State, Gard-ner made four appearances, but only one game in 2012. In the offseason, he talked with defensive line coach Chad Wilt and came up with the idea to make the position change to defensive end.

But the move from a skill posi-tion to the line isn’t as unusual after looking at the skill sets needed for both positions. Both wide receivers and defensive ends must be able to burst off the line of scrimmage quickly. They also have similarities in their techniques to getting past an opposing player with their hands, hips and feet.

Since Ball State’s defensive scheme calls for a pass rush defensive end, the players at that position are slimmer

than stereotypical linemen. “The rush defensive end

is kind of a hybrid position for us,” Wilt said. “He’s go-ing to drop, he’s going to do some coverage stuff. We don’t have to let him get in over tackles a lot.”

Wilt compared Gardner to current starting defensive end Jonathan Newsome. On the depth chart, Newsome is listed at 6-feet-3-inches and 236 pounds. Gardner is

listed at 6-feet-4-inches and 216 pounds.

But the biggest difference Wilt said for a wide receiver moving to the line is being able to be physical on every play as opposed to playing out in open space.

Gardner has been studying Newsome during the spring practices to better adjust go-ing from a two-point stance to getting a hand on the ground every play.

But one skill Gardner said could help him at defensive end is knowing the quarter-back’s tendencies.

“Just knowing when he’s go-ing to pull his arm back, so I can put my arms up to knock the ball down,” Gardner said.

Gardner will spend the rest of the spring practice and the preseason adjusting to his new role, hoping to see more playing time than he has in the last two seasons.

Q: What’s one thing about you that a lot of people don’t know?A: I love to run. I’ve been training for the past couple years and done the Indy half-marathon. I love to mountain bike too. If it’s outdoors and active, I’m probably going to be all for it. Q: What was your best time? A: Last year, I ran the Indy half-marathon in a little over one hour and 50 minutes, so

under two hours.Q: After a long run, what’s the first thing you go to for food?A: If it’s a really good run, I’m going to try to stay healthy. I love fruits, fresh fruits and some yogurt. If my inner fat kid wants to come out, which he certainly comes out too often, give me a good steak dinner down at St. Elmos. I love St. Elmos. I love seafood. Salmons, shrimps crabs. It’s hard for me to choose one. I do love food.Q: Have you had the shrimp cocktail from St. Elmos?A: Absolutely. It’ll clear your si-nuses right up. I love the shrimp cocktail. I was down there a couple weeks ago and I had that.Q: In your coaching career, who has been the most difficult player to gameplan against?A: Devin Hester. When I was a grad assistant at Virginia, we played Miami when Devin Hes-ter was there and he was special. He could do it all. Run it, catch it, return it. He was certainly a guy who you had to always know where he was. In 2009, I coached

against CJ Spiller from Clemson. Phe-nomenal play-er. Phenom-enal. Kind of the same guy. Speed, power, make you miss in the open field

in the return. Another guy who just did it all. We [Ball State] didn’t have to see Sammy Wat-kins this year when we played Clemson. Another one would be Ryan Broyles from Oklahoma. We played Oklahoma two years ago. He’d be the third guy. These guys are special players.Q: What’s your favorite thing about coaching?A: Relationships with the players. Spending time with them, at numerous levels, see-ing them get it. Whether it’s the schemes, whether it’s the techniques or for them to see what life is about, what the future could be for them. See-ing them grow up and mature.

Nick Miles is going to be going into his third year with us. The maturation process that Nick has gone through in his three years with us, that’s the most rewarding part.Q: What’s the thing that makes you the maddest as a coach?A: When players don’t play hard. A guy that’s going through the motions. And that could be in individual skill development, it could be in a scrimmage situation or it could be in a game. When you just say “Man. He’s not playing hard.“ Everybody is going to make a mental mistake. Every-body’s going to screw up an as-signment. That doesn’t mean it’s acceptable, but that’s going to happen. The thing that you do control is your effort.Q: What do you like to do when you’re not coaching?A: I love to read. I like spy novels, espionage, stuff like that. I like some personal de-velopment things too, leader-ship, spiritual improvement books. A variety of books.

HISTORY OF U.S. BOMBINGSHere are some of the worst bombings in the U.S. dating to the 1800s, including some famous attempts that failed.

SOURCE: The Associated Press

| THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — A stony-faced President Barack Obama declared that those responsible for the ex-plosions at the Boston Marathon “will feel the full weight of justice,” but he urged a nervous nation not to jump to conclusions. Top law-makers declared the deadly in-cident an act of terrorism, and a White House official said it was be-ing treated that way.

Obama, speaking from the White House late Monday, pointedly avoided using the words “terror” or “terrorism,” saying officials “still

do not know who did this or why.” However, a White House official later said the incident at the famous race was being treated as terrorism.

“We will find out who did this. We’ll find out why they did this,” Obama said in his brief statement. “Any responsible individuals, any responsible groups, will feel the full weight of justice.”

Authorities said at least three people were killed and more than 144 injured during two explosions near the finish of the marathon. A senior U.S. intelligence official said two other explosive devices were found near the end of the 26.2-mile course.

The president said the govern-ment would increase security around the United States “as nec-essary,” but he did not say whether his administration thought the

incident was part of a larger plot.Following a briefing with intelli-

gence officials, Maryland Rep. C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger, top Demo-crat on the House Intelligence Committee, said most urban areas in the country would be under high alert.

“We want to make sure this is not a pattern,” Ruppersberger said, adding that people could expect to see greater security at public areas such as train stations, ports and baseball games.

On Capitol Hill, Sen. Dianne Fein-stein, D-Calif., told reporters that she had been in contact with U.S. intelligence agencies and it was her understanding “that it’s a terror-ist incident.” Feinstein, who chairs the Senate Intelligence Committee, said the officials reported no ad-vance warning that “there was an

attack on the way.”California Republican Rep. Ed

Royce, chairman of the House For-eign Affairs Committee, said it was a “terrorist attack” and “yet anoth-er stark reminder that we must re-main vigilant in the face of continu-ing terrorist threats.”

The White House said Obama refrained from publicly calling the attacks terrorism because it was early in the investigation and the perpetrators were unknown. But the official said any time there is an event with multiple explosions go-ing off at the same time and aimed at hurting people, the administra-tion considers that terrorism.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the investi-gation was still under way and the official was not authorized to be quoted by name.

“I was really shaken up when I saw the tweets about it,” he said. “I didn’t know [the word] ‘explo-sion,’ that’s not very descriptive. I didn’t know what was up. So then I saw Twitter start blowing up about that and then I realized my friend told me he was in Boston watching his mom [running].”

Suer and Hickey both commented on how important the marathon is to the Boston community. Schools are closed that day and there is usu-ally a large number of attendees.

“Today’s a big celebration, happy day for everybody and then this hap-pens,” Suer said. “Everyone is out celebrating and it’s just packed with

people and everyone is out just hav-ing a good time. You really feel bad for the families that are affected.”

That fun and friendly atmo-sphere has certainly changed.

“We went out for dinner just now and walked back. It’s a two block walk and we saw seven police cars, some [officers] standing on the corners driving up and down the roads with their lights on,” he said. “While we were sitting out-side, we saw at least one police of-ficer walk by with a German shep-herd sniffing around, trying to look for things. The cops are just out everywhere. Pretty much the whole city is on lock down.”

According to the Associated Press, the Federal Aviation Ad-

ministrations established a no-fly zone over the area shortly follow-ing the explosion, and canceled flights out of Boston’s Logan Inter-national Airport.

“We’re glad that we weren’t fly-ing out today,” Suer said. “I really wouldn’t want to go to the airport right now and have to fly out. Who knows, it’s awfully scary.”

“It’s a weird feeling,” Kubel said. “A feeling you shouldn’t have to go through when you find out that someone that is really close to you is involved in such a tragic situation like that, and it could have been a lot worse so thankfully it wasn’t, at least for him and his family.”

Sara Nahrwold and Devan Fil-chak contributed to this story.

Police said three people were killed. An 8-year-old boy was among the dead, according to a person who talked to a friend of the family and spoke on condition of anonymity.

Hospitals reported at least 144 people injured, at least 15 of them critically. The victims’ injuries in-cluded broken bones, shrapnel wounds and ruptured eardrums.

At Massachusetts General Hos-pital, Alisdair Conn, chief of emergency services, said: “This is something I’ve never seen in my 25 years here ... this amount of carnage in the civilian population. This is what we expect from war.”

Some 23,000 runners took part in the race, one of the world’s oldest and most prestigious marathons.

One of Boston’s biggest annual events, the race winds up near Cop-ley Square, not far from the landmark Prudential Center and the Boston Public Library. It is hosted on Patriots Day, which commemorates the first battles of the American Revolution.

Boston Police Commissioner Ed-ward Davis asked people to stay indoors or go back to their hotel rooms and avoid crowds as squads checked parcels and bags left along the route. Investigators didn’t know whether the bombs were hidden in mailboxes or trash cans.

Tragedy at the Boston Mara-thon less than a month before Indianapolis’ Mini-Marathon has caused a reason to reevalu-ate security.

The Indianapolis 500 Mini-Mar-athon is scheduled to take place May 4, with an expected turnout of 35,000 participants.

“Right now there are no threats to the city of Indianapolis,” said Indianapolis Public Safety Direc-tor Troy Riggs. “What we will do is monitor the situation in Boston; we will learn if there is anything we can do to strengthen our secu-rity measures.”

Riggs said his office is trying to put together information so they can have a clearer picture of what happened in Boston on Monday and look to move forward with any information they receive.

Sam Lopez, a wellness manage-ment graduate student, said he plans to run in the marathon this

year, despite the Boston events. “You know, there are people try-

ing to hurt others,” Lopez said. “They are going to do whatever they have to bypass security.”

Lopez ran at last year’s 500 Mini-Marathon and said there was little to no security, some-thing he thinks will change.

“There really wasn’t much secu-rity at all,” Lopez said. “I honestly just walked right through and got in my corral.”

Lopez said he can see how it would be hard to completely se-cure something like the Boston Marathon just based on the size of the track and that spectators can just walk up to the track.

Riggs said he wants to ensure there is adequate security at all large scale events in Indianapolis.

“With any large event we spend an inordinate amount of time planning for safety and mak-ing sure our citizens are safe,” Riggs said.

Dianna Neff, a senior secondary English education major, said she plans to run a marathon in June and isn’t going to let something like this get under her skin.

“If you let these things scare you, you aren’t going to be able to do anything,” she said. “You will be afraid to leave the house.”

She said she follows several professional runners on Twit-ter who ran at Monday’s Bos-ton marathon and rushed to the computer to guarantee their safety after she heard about the bombing.

Neff said running is something she isn’t going to stop, doing re-gardless of any terrorist attacks.

“I plan on doing this forever, I mean until my knees give out at least,” Neff said.

Lopez echoed the sentiment. “It doesn’t worry me at all, you

can’t worry about stuff you do ev-ery day,” Neff said.

Lopez said he had a friend who ran in the race and finished before the bombs; but when he heard the news, his thoughts first went to all of the people who could have been affected or hurt.

Riggs said it is far too early for his office to be able to make any official statements regarding changes to security at any India-napolis events, but he is trying to look to Boston for guidance.

“We always learn from one an-other,” Riggs said. “Just continue to watch the news, and see the in-formation that is coming out. We will be releasing any information here in Indianapolis on [the pub-lic safety] website.”

QUAD TALKIN RESPONSE TO THE BOSTON MARATHON BOMBINGS

There’s a standard that each newspaper, pro-fessional or collegiate, has to meet in order to run a full page of coverage on a certain story.

At the Ball State Daily News, the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, met this standard. The 2012 presidential election met this standard. And in to-day’s issue, the bombings at the Boston Marathon meet this standard.

As journalists, we’re as guilty as anyone in some-times reading through stories about war, crime and death and not taking the severity of the situa-tion into account. It isn’t just names and numbers that appear in the newspaper. It is real people.

The 8-year-old boy who died in the bombings was someone’s son. The other two people who died had family members and friends who, as soon as they heard about the bombings, prayed that they weren’t involved. No matter who these people were, they made impacts on people’s lives.

And now, they’re gone. The Ball State Daily News decided to run cover-

age of the Boston bombings on the entire front page for a reason. We want to respect the tragedy in Boston by giving it — and you, the readers — the coverage it deserves.

The same principle applies to our decision to use “Boston Massacre” as the main headline. This is a massacre, and calling it anything less is a dis-service to the victims.

April 15, 2013, will take its place in history as a dark day in American history. From now on, when people think of “Boston Massacre,” they’ll think of this day, not the incident of 1770. That is the grav-ity of this incident.

With the multiple U.S. mass shootings of 2012 in mind, it’s important to remember that no matter how hard we try to prevent inci-dents like this, a tragedy can manage to cause suffering in a split second.

As we wrote in our editorial on page 5, what matters most isn’t how we as a country pre-pare, it’s how we respond.

The first step toward responding is to be in-formed. For most, that likely started by watching the news Monday and reading coverage online, and it continues today by reading this edition of the Daily News.

The paper today not only reflects the signifi-cance of the bombings in Boston, but what we believe to be important for our readers to know.

We don’t want you to just be informed. We want you to remember why it’s important to be informed.

Don’t forget your friend’s birthday!

We all remember where we were on that fateful day. Some of us were taking the ISTEP test, some were at the doctor’s office and others were home sick. But no matter how little we understood about what was go-ing on, we all know where we were on Sept. 11, 2001.

It split our lives into two categories: Pre- and post- 9/11. But our sense of vulnerability has gone back down since the aftermath.

We’ve watched footage of the Middle East, we’ve adapted to annoying airport security procedures and with the exception of shootings, we’ve remained rela-tively silent about attacks on the home front.

No matter where you live, though, the terrorist attack at the Boston Marathon on Monday is a reminder that we’re still fragile. As of 11 p.m. Monday, three people died and at least 144 people were being treated for injuries from the blasts.

Although the death toll isn’t as staggering as 9/11 or other recent tragic events, that doesn’t mean it’s less

significant. In the wake of the Aurora and Sandy Hook shootings, reporting on unimaginable and graphic tragedy has become routine for news media. People turning to social media to spread the word, express condolences and tell people to pray for victims has also become routine.

But there’s another side of the coin, the side that says we’ve become jaded and have lost empathy.

Mere hours after the bombing, people used images from the attack to make memes, including a picture of a victim being pushed in a wheelchair, his leg blown off with bones hanging down and the words “Go to the marathon they said... It’ll be fun they said...” Other memes with phrases such as “As if I needed another reason not to go running,” “Come join us... we’re hav-ing a blast” and “Must have been from I ran” started floating around the Internet by Monday evening.

But it’s no laughing matter. Tragic events like the marathon bombing, Sandy Hook and Aurora shouldn’t

just be a talking point or a part of Internet fun. We’ve become a culture of crisis and don’t seem to

have as much of a sense of loss across the board as we once did. In order to truly be influential, we all need to do more.

We need to use those heartbreaking images of mangled bodies to remember that lives were changed and destroyed. Just like Americans came together after 9/11, it’s time to rise from the ashes of these bombs and show those who bring hate into the world the power of the human spirit.

The American Red Cross said it had enough blood to help Boston Marathon victims, but it may need more soon, and the Salvation Army is in contact with Bos-ton authorities to figure out what types of donations victims need.

Not only should people of our generation remember where we were on April 15, 2013, we should remem-ber what we did to help.

Nicholas and Colby were ex-pecting their first child, but ended up with something very different — a smudge.

The baby, described as “slop-py and purplish grey,” gains the title of smudge due to her deformities and abnormal ap-pearance.

Premiering tonight in the Cave Theatre, “Smudge” ex-plores the dynamics of parent-hood. Director Kyle Stoffers wants the audience to appre-ciate healthy children because not many people understand how common autism and birth defects are.

“My main goal was to pro-duce something that was hon-est and different from most of the other shows that we produce in the Cave, in that it would entertain as well as make the audience think about their own expectations as far as parenthood,” he said.

The baby, known as both Smudge and Cassandra, is de-formed, and the parents have to overcome their original hopes and take care of her.

Monica Ramirez, a freshman musical theatre major, plays Colby. As the mother of the child, she has to interact with the baby, who is represented by a carriage onstage.

“Working with an inanimate object, that’s been really hard, responding to beeps and flash-es of light being called by a stage manager,” she said. “That is a challenge and an obstacle.”

Brent Eickhoff, assistant director and a sophomore directing and theatre educa-tion major, worked on manu-

facturing the carriage holding the baby. He used a variety of objects, such as color-chang-ing light bulbs and fiber-optic cables, to create it. For inspira-tion, he looked to see how it was made in past productions of the play.

“Figuring out how to build the thing is the hardest part,” he said. “It’s not that compli-cated; it’s simple enough to figure out once you start read-ing it.”

In addition to the technology bringing the baby to life, the actors work to bring it to life through their characters. To help visualize what they are working with, each drew a de-piction of the smudge.

“It’s been really hard when you have situations that need to build and you don’t really have anything to respond to,” said Jordan Rowe, a freshman theatre studies major playing Nicholas. “You have to imagine it in your head.”

As an all-freshmen cast, the actors also had to work to con-nect with their much-older characters. Jeff Pierpoint, a freshman musical theatre ma-jor, said he is very different from his character Pete, Nich-olas’ older brother.

“Because we’ve spent so

much time in this production, we all have become very cohe-sive,” he said. “The amount of time we’ve spent working to-gether has allowed us to delve into the story. We’ve all made relationships with the story that we’re trying to tell.”

Despite the actors being dif-ferent from their characters in both age and personality, Stof-fers felt they were the right ac-tors for the production.

“It’s definitely great to work with a cast of all freshmen because I had the option of upperclassmen people, but I felt like these people together

would be the best to tell the story,” Stoffers said. “I got to cast the people that I wanted and it just happened that they were freshmen.”

Just as Stoffers picked a young cast, he called himself a young director.

“One of the biggest chal-lenges would be just being a young director and just not really knowing how to form the production as a whole, just putting together a show of this magnitude that has such a complicated message but that is told in a simple way,” he said.

Note: The names of all account administrators featured in this story are pseudonyms. The Daily News respects these individuals’ desire for anonymity.

Last year it was Ball State memes. This year it’s Ball State Secret Admirers. Ball State stu-dents clearly have a passion for these Internet-based cultural blips.

Ball State students also have a pronounced and persistent appreciation for the peer-run social media accounts that re-late to campus culture. Drink-ing Redefined (@JoAnnWhora) has accumulated 5,122 follow-ers.

When Serenity Poe began Party Updates (@BSUpar-tyupdate), she had something besides drinking on her mind. Poe wanted to help students with limited social connec-tions.

“It just kind of stemmed from representing the plain Joe’s and Jane’s of college that didn’t have access to parties but have every right to access to those parties,” Poe said.

Freshman speech pathology major Katie Simmons has used Party Updates when coordinat-ing her weekend activities.

“Usually parties publicized on Twitter are a lot bigger,” Sim-mons said.

Simmons said these parties often boasted an unusually mixed bag of people.

“What I’m doing is working,” Poe said. “As much as we hate to admit it, alcohol is a big part of our lives in college. It gives us something to group around, something to celebrate. It’s a freedom thing.”

Ball State Makeouts (@BSU-MakeOuts) didn’t broadcast the lead up to the party, but the af-termath. The account recently deactivated and its administra-tor, Alex Bragg, could not be reached after the account ended.

While the site maintained somewhat of a notorious rep-utation among party people with a propensity for PDA, Bragg’s choice may have put many minds at ease.

All it took for Frog Baby to have an unofficial voice on the web was four freshmen who wanted in on the social media action.

Administrators said they try to keep their content Ball State related so they can tap into the existing community. This leads to a better follower reaction.

“Everything is free game, no racial slurs, no political views,” representative of the Frog Baby account Taylor Hartley said.

BSU Chug that Beer (@Chugg_a_Lugg) grew from Con-nor Varney’s personal account.

“I got popular by sitting on my roof tweeting funny things about alcohol and living the

college dream,” Varney said. “I didn’t really care about getting a lot of followers.”

The feed’s success prompted Varney to invite his audience to parties he would host.

Varney is a marketing major and said he uses “basic selling techniques” when posting on the feed.

One account that will not be passed down for posterity is Campus Cowboy (@BallState-Cowboy). The account grew from its administrator Luke Bowen’s personal account into a Ball State sensation. The ac-count topped out at more than 4,500 followers at its peak. What originally presented fun grew tiring over time.

“I’m getting married,” Cam-pus Cowboy said. “I’ll have a real life instead of sitting on the computer and wasting away time in class.”

There isn’t a clear-cut reason why these things are so popu-lar, but if you ask Serenity Poe, it’s about unity.

“It’s definitely pride, coming from a school that often gets put down for being ‘not as good’ as IU or Purdue,” Poe said. “I have a lot of pride in the people I go to school with. I think I’m sur-rounded by great people.”
