INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana’s seven public univer-sities are taking steps to boost their graduation rates and increase the number of degrees in key areas like science and technology as part of a state push to tie aid for higher education to performance.

The Indiana Commission for Higher Education has developed a performance-based funding for-mula in an effort to increase the number of college graduates in the state.

The funding formula began in 2003 with in-centives for uni-versities that do research, the In-dianapolis Business Journal reported. It expanded in 2007 with rewards for gains in degrees, on-time graduation rates and successful transfer students.

It now rewards schools for growth in number of over-all degrees, on-time graduation rates, student retention, number of degrees in science, technol-ogy, engineering and math and those granted to students receiving federal PELL grants. Reme-diation rates and a

productivity metric defined by each school also factor into the calculations.

Though public universities continue to receive funding based on enrollment, performance-based funding is growing in importance. The state bud-get lawmakers are writing this year calls for rais-ing the performance-based calculation from 5 percent of each school’s state funding to 6 percent in 2014 and 7 percent in 2015.

“You are seeing strategies within colleges and universities to respond to these metrics because these metrics are responding to student needs,” said Teresa Lubbers, a former state senator who now leads the Commission of Higher Education.

Ball State has a lot riding on performance fund-ing. The school would see no increase in funding over the next two years under the budget state lawmakers are crafting. Only Indiana State Uni-versity in Terre Haute, which would see a 1.1-per-cent loss in funding, has fared worse under the performance-based funding formula.

State health officials have confirmed at least one case of the measles last week in an Indiana University Bloom-ington student, causing the university to take action.

The affected student does not live on IU’s campus and did not attend classes during his illness, according to a press release from the Indiana State Depart-ment of Health.

The individual visited the IU Health Bloomington Hospital emergency room and a CVS pharmacy while infected. The student also visited the IU Student Health Center.

More than 95 percent of people who receive the measles, mumps and rubella vaccines develop an immunity to the virus after one application, and 99 per-cent become immune after the second dose, according to the release.

The Indiana State Department of Health, the Monroe County Health De-partment and IU are working together to identify additional cases of the disease.

STATE AIDWHATIndiana’s public universities are trying to graduate more students and increase the number of degrees in areas like science and technology as part of a state push to tie aid for higher education to performance.SO WHATState lawmakers are looking to raise the performance-based calculation from 5 percent of each school’s state funding to 6 percent in 2014, and 7 percent in 2015. If Ball State doesn’t begin to focus more on STEM degrees, it likely won’t see an increase in funding in the next two years.

The Indian Student Association brought Holi, the Festival of Colors, to Pruis Hall with a Bollywood style musical, other performances and In-dian food Sunday.

“Staying away from home during these kind of festivals, its really hard for us,” Aparna Satheesan, president of ISA, said. “We are trying to do as much as we can so that the others will [know] about our culture and we will be having fun all together.”

The masters student in computer science said Holi is traditionally an annual event that celebrates the be-ginning of spring.

“[Holi is a] time when family and friends gather together and share sweets and play with colors,” Sath-eesan said.

Although colored powder is usu-ally thrown around, Satheesan said

Pruis did not allow that. Instead, the colors were painted on foreheads and cheeks, and the main event was a Bollywood musical.

Satheesan said for the past four or five months the club has been pre-paring for the event, including the 30-minute musical, “A Bollywood Love Musical,” which followed a tra-ditional Bollywood love story.

In eight dance numbers, members of the club followed a couple from when a boy first meets a girl to when they get married, and all of the fight-ing in between.

“We wanted to perform something which [represents] our country, and Bollywood dancing is one of the most famous things to come out In-dia,” said Harsha Boppana, a gradu-

ate student in computer science and ISA Web master. “We wanted to show Americans.”

Other performances included a traditional Indian dance, a Chinese fan dance, Indian singing and belly dancing by the Ball State Belly Danc-ing Club.

In fifth grade while vacationing in Arizona, Kaleb Barajas threw a Snickers bar into the pool, caus-ing everyone to evacuate, fearing the snack was floating waste.

“I’m just a goofy guy,” the sopho-more business and management sales major said.

The prankster began tricking people in the second grade. Barajas said his best amateur pranks of all time were in elementary and middle school. One creative deception involved Barajas and a friend pouring red Kool-Aid onto the snow and placing a chainsaw near the legs that they had taken off store manikins, making a mock crime scene.

Once college began, Barajas put his pranking skills to work on campus. Dur-ing his freshman year at Ball State, Bara-jas said he became known as the prank-ster on his floor in LaFollette Complex.

“Go all out, do it big so everybody knows the prank,” Barajas said.

Barajas’ pranks have had their fair share of casualties. In one instance, he placed a package of Gatorade on the top ledge of a door. Once Barajas’ friends opened it, a bottle fell down hitting him directly in the groin.

Others have pranked Barajas too, such as a girlfriend in high school who “broke up” with him through a text message. He fell for it and wondered why she did it over the phone.

“I’ve always wanted a girl that I could prank and she would prank me back,” Barajas said.

Here are some accounts of Barajas’ most genius antics:PRANK NO. 1 

Barajas took others’ mattresses and hid them. A football player who had just come back from practice was tired, but came back to his room to find only his blankets and pillow stacked up on the floor where his bed usually sat. That was the only prank he said had gone too far. His hallmate was pretty upset.PRANK NO. 2

Barajas and his friends duct taped the door frame to his resident assis-tant’s room while he was inside. It took them 20 minutes, and the RA had to end up cutting himself out of his room with scissors. PRANK NO. 3

A brother in his fraternity had a broken laptop, and a group of them decided to prank a new guy by throw-ing the laptop at him without saying “catch this” until the last second. The computer shattered and so did the confidence of the new guy.PRANKSTERS ANONYMOUS

Barajas is not the only prankster on the block, he and others from his fresh-

man hall shared with us in anonymity. One April Fools’ day, a resident took

a couple of white sheets of paper and a permanent marker from her room to make signs. She wrote: “Water con-tamination, do not use restroom until further notice.” – Maintenance. Many of her fellow floor members were tar-dy to class that day.

Another prank pulled on a male floor was just a routine happenstance, no holiday needed. Guys from a floor in Clevenger Hall accumulated all of the styrofoam beans from a bean-bag and emptied them into a plastic tub. Someone distracted the student whose room was about to be invaded while the others dumped the beans all over the room. Every square inch of the room was occupied by a blizzard of the little white spheres.

“We thought we should ask other associations to come so that people in the audience can see other cultures,” Sath-eesan said.

Indian food was available af-ter the performance through Ball State catering, followed by free dancing time to Bolly-wood and Indian music.

Satheesan said the free event was originally set to cost about $10 per ticket, but the club was lucky enough to find a lot of sponsors, including the Stu-dent Government Association, University Program Board and the Multicultural Center.

“We have a [large] crowd even though it is an Easter holiday,” Satheesan said. “We expected a lot of crowd, and its more than that.”

Boppana said the club is looking to host this event ev-ery year and hopes the atten-dance continues to grow.

VINCENNES, Ind. — Agen-cies across Indiana are drop-ping flood insurance, scaling back on free meals for the el-derly and reducing the number of Section 8 housing vouch-ers they provide as funding shrinks because of automatic federal budget cuts.

The cuts known as the se-quester were designed as a deadline to force a deal to reduce the federal deficit. In-stead, Congress and the White House failed to agree, and the cuts kicked in March 1.

That’s forced many agencies that rely on federal money to make cuts of their own.

In Seymour, that means fewer free meals at the Seymour Se-nior Citizens Center. For cities like Vincennes and Fort Wayne, it has forced changes in a hous-ing program for the poor.

“We just have to learn to make do with what we have,” Carol Gee, director of the meal site at the Seymour Senior Cit-izens Center, told The Tribune.

The center has scaled back the number of days it offers meals from five to three. The city also has cut back on its meal program for people who are homebound, offering hot meals three days a week and frozen meals the other two.

Vincennes officials have de-cided to drop flood insurance to help cover the cuts.

According to the Vincennes Sun-Commercial, the Vin-cennes Housing Authority took out the policy two years ago amid concerns about the Wabash River levee and its accreditation with the Fed-eral Emergency Management Agency.

But repairs to the levee have diminished concerns about whether it would pass FEMA’s recertification process, and

officials decided the risk of catastrophic flooding was worth taking.

Linda Fredrick, the housing authority’s executive director, said she expects the housing authority to get about 82 per-cent of its usual appropriation from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Develop-ment. A subsidy the authority receives for capital improve-ments, usually about $500,000 a year, will be cut in half.

The $18,000 that the flood insurance would have cost this year is needed elsewhere, she said.

“We’ve had increases in our utility costs,” she said. “And while we can’t do raises for employees right now, we do want to keep their health in-surance coverage.

“More than anything, we need this money for the up-keep of our properties.”

Frederick said the author-ity has 372 housing vouch-ers available but is only us-ing about 300 of them. The agency also will likely have to increase the rents it charges, she said.

In Fort Wayne, where nearly 3,000 people receive Section 8 vouchers, housing officials are trying to absorb as much of the cuts as they can be-fore eliminating people from the program.

Maynard Scales, executive di-rector of the Fort Wayne Hous-ing Authority, told WANE-TV the agency hopes to be able to serve more people, but at a lower rate of assistance.

Scales said the agency has implemented a hiring freeze and has shifted some person-nel in response to the cuts.

“The service level will go down dramatically, there’s no question about that,” Scales said. “The repairs, the renova-tions of the properties, keep-ing them in good shape, that will suffer. That’s where it’s go-ing to show up. The shelter, the roofs will be there, but sooner or later, those roofs will have holes in them, and will we be able to repair them?”

Ball State President Jo Ann Gora told the House Ways and Means Committee in Janu-ary that the school has been at a disadvantage because it has worked to raise admission standards and the quality of programs while keeping enroll-ment around 16,000. That strat-egy, along with Ball State’s focus on non-STEM degrees, has hurt its funding, she said.

“Because our strategy has been to get better, not bigger, this is not a strategy that has

been rewarded by the fund-ing formula — although we think this is a good strategy for Hoosiers,” Gora said. “The formula is a one-size-fits-all. And yet the institutions were asked to differentiate.”

She said Ball State hopes to add degrees in computer soft-ware engineering and other STEM areas because they command more state money under the funding formula.

Lubbers noted that Ball State already has 27 degree programs that count as STEM degrees.

Ivy Tech Community College

also plans changes so it can help more students transfer to four-year institutions and boost the number of technol-ogy students earning a cre-dential before leaving.

Ivy Tech President Tom Snyder said he hopes a plan to restructure into four divi-sions helps identify which programs can grow.

Lubbers said the commis-sion has worked to adjust the funding formula to account for the different missions of each public university. Research-based incentives

apply to IU, Purdue and Ball State, but not the others.

Purdue Provost Tim Sands said performance funding affects less than 1 percent of the budget on Purdue’s West Lafayette campus. But he said it’s still important to keep state priorities in mind.

“The money is not big enough to drive behavior by itself at West Lafayette,” Sands said. “What it really does is encourage us to have the discussion [with state leaders], to align our values where we can.”

ELKHART, Ind. — Feeling unusually lethargic in January, Terry Trost wrote off her mel-ancholy as seasonal depression, but she later found out that it was something much worse.

After five months of lab tests coming back inconclu-sive, Trost found out in Feb-ruary that she is among 730 people nationwide who have fungal meningitis. The illness is potentially deadly, and it is caused by exposure to tainted back pain medications that

were distributed in 23 states from coast to coast. The drugs, manufactured by the New Eng-land Compounding Center in Massachusetts, were supplied to six clinics in Indiana, includ-ing OSMC Outpatient Surgery Center in Elkhart.

Trost and her daughter, Ni-cole Kovach, received injec-tions to relieve back pain on Sept. 26 at OSMC. That evening, batches of medications were recalled for contamination, The Elkhart Truth reports.

“I didn’t know what to think,” said Trost, who had been vis-iting OSMC every few months for the past two years to re-ceive shots near her coccyx bone at the tip of her spine.

But it wasn’t Trost who start-ed feeling sick first. Kovach used

a different medication than her mother, but it was manufac-tured from the same drug com-pany. Not long after the shot, Kovach was taken to an emer-gency room with a fever and ex-cruciating pain. Lab results for a spinal tap came back negative for fungal meningitis, but she had a bacterial infection that was making her ill.

It wasn’t until December that Trost ended up at Elkhart Gen-eral Hospital.

By January, Kovach started noticing a difference in her mother’s behavior. She didn’t want to leave the house. She didn’t want to do anything.

“She kept on saying that it was just depression, and that happens sometimes, but this time, it seemed like more than

just depression,” said Kovach.OSMC ordered one last MRI

for Trost in February and this time, the results were clear. She had fungal meningitis.

At last count, local health of-ficer Dr. Daniel Nafziger said there have been 47 cases of fungal meningitis and related infections confirmed in Elkhart County. There have been three deaths attributed to the ill-ness there. Most of the recent cases that have been reported, Nafziger said, are localized in-fections near the areas where patients received injections. In some cases, symptoms of fungal meningitis have not surfaced until six months after a patient had been exposed to the contaminated medications, he added.

INDIANAPOLIS — With tears in their eyes and Kevin Ware in their hearts, there was no way Louisville was losing this game.

Russ Smith scored 23, Gor-gui Dieng had 14 points, 11 rebounds and four blocks, and top-seeded Louisville put aside the shock from Ware’s gruesome leg injury to earn a second straight trip to the Final Four with an 85-63 victory over Duke on Sun-day afternoon.

As the final seconds ticked down, Chane Behanan put Ware’s jersey on and stood at the end of the Louisville bench, screaming. Cardinals fans chanted “Kevin Ware! Kevin Ware!”

“We won this for him,” coach Rick Pitino said. “We were all choked up with emotion for him. We’ll get him back to nor-mal. We’ve got great doctors, great trainers.”

Ware played his high-school ball in Georgia and the Final Four is in Atlanta, just adding to the emotion for the victori-ous Cardinals.

“We talked about it every timeout, ‘Get Kevin home,’”

Pitino said.This game will be remem-

bered, but for a very different — and much more somber — reason.

With 6:33 left in the first half, Ware, who has played a key role in Louisville’s 14-game winning streak, jumped to try and block Tyler Thornton’s 3-point shot. When he landed, his right leg snapped midway between his ankle and knee, the bone skewing almost at a right angle. Ware dropped to the floor right in front of the Louisville bench and, almost in unison, his teammates turned away in horror. Thornton gri-maced, putting his hand to his mouth as he turned around.

Louisville forward Wayne Blackshear fell to the floor and Behanan looked as if he was going to be sick on the court, kneeling on his hands and feet. Luke Hancock patted Ware’s chest as doctors worked on the sophomore and Smith walked away, pulling his jersey over his eyes. The arena was silent, and several fans wept and bowed their heads.

Pitino had tears in his eyes as he tried to console his players. Dieng draped an arm around the shoulders of Smith, who re-peatedly wiped at his eyes and shook his head. The Cardinals (33-5) gathered at halfcourt to try and regroup before Pitino called them over to the side-line, saying Ware wanted to

talk to them before he left.“Basically, the bone popped

out of the skin. It broke in two spots,” Pitino said. “Re-member the bone is six inch-es out of his leg, and all he’s yelling is ‘Win the game, win the game.’ I’ve never seen anything like that.”

Play resumed about 10 min-utes later, but it was clear the Cardinals’ minds were else-where. They missed four of their next five shots along with two free throws, and were uncharacteristically sloppy. But they regrouped after a timeout, with Smith’s finger roll sparking a 12-6 run to finish the half that gave them a 35-32 lead.

Smith picked up where he left off at the start of the sec-ond half, making all three free throws after being fouled on a 3-point attempt to give Louis-ville a 38-32 lead, its largest of the game to that point.

Smith, the most outstanding player of the Midwest Region, made a layup. Peyton Siva had a nice jumper at the top of the key, and then followed with a layup. Just like that, the Cardi-nals were off on a 20-4 run that sealed the victory.

This was only the second time the Blue Devils have reached the regional finals and failed to make it to the Final Four. The only other time? In 1998, when the Blue Devils lost to eventual national champion Kentucky.

Team overcomes gruesome injury for regional final win

| MELEAH FISHBURN STAFF REPORTER mcfishburn@bsu.edu

Halfway through the season and four games into league play, Ball State has hit 30 home runs, 61 doubles, 181 RBIs and has a team-combined slugging percentage of .519 to show for its more than ca-pable play at the plate.

The team holds the school record and the Mid-American Conference record of 61 team doubles on the season.

The freshmen have had no

trouble adding to the strong team offense.

Shortstop Emily Dabkowski contributed to the team’s record for doubles early on as she has chipped in two doubles during her eleven career at bats.

Outfielders Sammi Cowger and Sasha Margulies recorded a hit and a run scored each in their first collegiate appearances at the plate in late February against Grambling State.

Junior left fielder Jennifer Gil-bert recently broke the school record for career home runs against Florida International with 12 on the season and 45 in her career to date. She added four home runs to her stats dur-ing Saturday’s double-header

against Toledo.Sophomore outfielder Hanne

Stuedemann and junior third baseman Audrey Bickel trail Gilbert with five and four home runs on the season, respectively.

Sophomore second baseman Taylor Cox was MAC West Divi-

sion player of the week for the first time in her career as she helped lead the Cardinals at the plate going 5-for-9 as leadoff batter against Wisconsin and No. 24 North Carolina in the Louisville Classic.

Cox uses repetition in practice to better her game and perfect skills she needs to continue con-tributing to the team’s offense.

Coach Craig Nicholson works his team on hitting by making sure players get in swings during each practice and working on adjustment to different pitches.

Ball State will move on to IPFW on Wednesday and continue building on their record-break-ing play at the plate throughout their MAC schedule.

Home runs, doubles help Cardinals grab 3 wins on road

Ball State’s Chris Marangon doesn’t have an outstanding re-cord. In fact, he’s only 1-1.

He has just 31 strikeouts in 44 innings, but holds an impressive 2.35 ERA.

He may not have been noticed as much this season because of the sudden emergence of sopho-more Scott Baker, and that’s just fine with Marangon.

“It doesn’t matter to me if I don’t end up with another win in the stat column this season,” Maran-gon said. “All that matters is if I was able to pitch well enough to put our team in the position to get a win.”

Marangon has done it all sea-son, despite the results not show-ing on his record as he’s contin-ued to fly under the radar.

The senior pitched 6 2/3 in-nings against a potent Kent State offense and gave up just two runs, but the offense could only muster two runs of its own and Ball State fell 6-2.

He worked out of numerous jams, often with runners in scor-ing position and usually ended the inning unscathed.

In the season opener, Marangon pitched 6 1/3 innings and didn’t give up a single run, but the team lost 1-0, wasting another great pitching performance.

It’s been the theme of the year

so far for Marangon, pitching well but the relief pitcher losing the game or the offense failing to get a timely hit that coach Rich Malo-ney preaches about.

Maloney thinks Marangon’s season so far has been overshad-owed by Baker, but it doesn’t mean he hasn’t noticed.

“Marangon has been phenom-enal; it’s too bad that he just doesn’t have anything to show for it,” Maloney said. “He could easily have the record that Baker has; we know we’ve got a really solid go-to guy in Chris [Marangon].”

Ball State is averaging just three runs per game when Ma-rangon starts, the worst for any Ball State starter.

By comparison, Baker is getting nearly seven runs per game dur-ing his starts, easily the best on the team.

The Friday starter finished last season with a 3.75 ERA, but has been more consistent this season.

Marangon said he understands he can’t control how many runs his team scores when he’s pitch-ing. However, he’s done every-thing he can over the last year to improve his game to put his team in the best position.

“I’ve evolved quite a bit. My coaches have really helped pick out my weaknesses in my pitch-ing performances and made me a lot better,” Marangon said. “My teammates know what to look for when I’m struggling and I’ll do the same for them.”

The senior is entering his final full month as a Ball State pitcher, and will look to continue the pro-duction he’s given Ball State so far this season.

Despite lack of run support, Marangon recording 2.35 ERA

After falling to nationally ranked UNLV in Las Vegas on March 7, the Ball State men’s tennis team has rattled off five straight victories. Wins have come against Xavier, Butler and Toledo. The team will look to continue its longest winning streak of the season when it goes up against in-state rival Notre Dame today.

Ball State defeated Toledo 5-2 on Saturday to begin Mid-American Conference play, but will deviate from confer-ence play for one game to face the Notre Dame.

The Irish arrive in Muncie as the No. 27 team in the nation. Notre Dame has defeated six nationally ranked teams this season, highlighted by wins against No. 13 Illinois and No. 21 Michigan. The team also knocked off ranked Michigan State, a team that beat Ball State 6-1 earlier this season.

There is no doubt that the Irish are the toughest team the Cardinals will have faced so far this season. Fortunately for coach Bill Richards; the Cardi-nals are playing their best ten-

nis of the season. They battled through an early season injury bug but are hitting their stride at the perfect moment.

The Cardinals seemed un-fazed by their longest road trip

of the season, winning all three matches in close fashion. They took the doubles point in two of those three matches, which is a big key for the Cardinals against the Irish. Getting the lead early and taking that momentum into singles action is the recipe for an upset victory.

The Cardinals will need their best effort of the season if they intend to send the Irish back to South Bend, Ind., with only their second loss of the season to an

Cards can extend streak to 6 games with win over Irish

You’re no fool. Increase community activity with friends, siblings and neigh-bors. It keeps you connect-ed, and communications thrive until June, when your energy shifts towards home improvement. Check insurance coverage, and stay flexible. It’s a year of personal expansion.

Aries (March 21-April 19)Today is a 9 -- It could get foolish; work causes delays, so call if you’ll be late. Talk about money later. Consider what’s best for home and family, and work it out. Keep a sense of humor.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is a 9 -- Think, then talk. Work on the big picture first. Your influence grows. The more you plan, the more you profit. Use your good judgment. Hold on to your money for now. Put energy into details.

Gemini (May 21-June 21) Today is an 8 -- If you don’t find out, ask again. You’re in a state of disruption ... there’s some chaos. You look good, nonetheless. Travel or send packages later. Visit a partner who provides inspiration. As-sert your desires.

Cancer (June 22-July 22) Today is a 9 -- Use your persuasive skills. Be brief, however, if it costs you money. Emotions are all over the map. There’s more work coming; pace it carefully, as there’s danger of breakage. It’s getting lovely.Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)Today is a 9 -- Don’t gamble, discuss money or play the fool. Provide excellent service, and make a good impression. Optimism enters the workplace, though costs may be higher than expected. Areas that seem stuck move later.Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is a 7 -- Controversy arises. Acknowledge considerations, and provide for others. Get a friend to intervene, if necessary. Make essential contacts. Put energy into creative projects, and test out the new playbook. Proceed with caution.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)Today is an 8 -- You tend to overestimate your powers and underestimate costs. Everything seems possible. The more old projects that you finish, the more new ones arise. Pad the budget for the unex-pected, and ask for help.Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is a 9 -- See friends later; work is busy. Be prepared to applaud your team. Past ef-forts represent you well. Think quickly while moving slowly. Conserve resourc-es by sending someone else ahead. Talk is cheap. Press your advantage.Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is an 8 -- There may be a setback or temporary confusion. Accept enthu-siastic coaching. Reassure someone who’s uncertain. Something planned is no longer necessary. Don’t mention everything you know or suspect, yet. Call in a favor.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is a 9 -- Review details and postpone travel as complications arise. Pay an old debt, or put in a correction. Acknowledgment comes from an unexpected direction. Notice your wealth, with gratitude. Career vistas and romance sparkle.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is a 9 -- A distress call comes in. Use something you’ve been saving. Ask for more, and say please. Turn down an expensive invitation or risky proposition. Keep track of finances. Slow and easy does it.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is a 9 -- Don’t make expensive promises or believe everything. There’s another test: Challenge authority to get the truth. Keep pursuing a dream. It’s easy to work harmoniously with a partner. Sell an idea.

| CHRIS McAULEY STAFF REPORTER cmcauley@bsu.edu

Sticking out with its bright yellow facade and late 1800s architecture, the enormous Patterson Block sits at the corner of Walnut and Main streets in downtown Muncie.

Chesterfield’s Cafe is a stu-dent-run cafe of Ivy Tech Com-munity College’s culinary arts and hospitality departments — much like Ball State’s Al-legre Cafe.

“We wanted to provide edu-cation for students [through] live scenarios,” manager of Chesterfield’s Ryan Bell said.

The cafe is named after for-mer Chancellor Gail Chester-field, who brought the hospi-tality department to Ivy Tech.

The cafe opened in January and has been a source of eclec-tic cuisine. A constantly chang-ing item it works on is the soup of the day, which helps the stu-dents avoid getting into a rou-tine and to expand their hori-zons, Bell said. Not one soup has been repeated the entire semester with soups that have ranged from the local chicken

and noodle soup to Russian and Vietnamese soups.

Much of the challenge is fig-uring out what is going to sell and work for the cafe. The cafe aims to solidify a new menu item each semester. A recent dish Bell had students try to prepare is the pumpernickel focaccia lunch. The lunch may not have been a popular selec-tion, but Bell said it gave stu-dents valuable experience.

“That’s how you teach stu-dents, through trial and error,” Bell said.

The menu varies greatly ac-cording to the day. However, staples of Chesterfield’s in-clude its paninis and reubens, which Bell said are the two most popular items.

Chesterfield’s sells pizzas, including traditional toppings such as cheese and pepperoni, but they also have daily pizza specials. They use pizza sauce that comes from within Indi-ana to support local markets. In addition, Chesterfield’s makes deli sandwiches with its own artisan bread.

The cafe only accepts cash, but once it adds the appropri-ate wiring to the Internet, it will accept credit cards.

All of the money goes to Ivy Tech and the program. The cafe closes between semesters to give students a break, and the

hours vary each semester de-pending on student schedules.

Chesterfield’s is open to im-provement. Customers can leave comment cards and pro-vide feedback about their ser-vice, and Bell takes the time to read each one.

“Feedback is critical, and we like constructive criticism,” Bell said.

Ivy Tech’s students have won several awards over the past two years for their work in the kitchen, including awards from Savor The Flavor for the past two years at the Indiana State Fair and the “Best En-tree” at Taste of Muncie.

Chesterfield’s does not have a specific target mar-ket, but students seek to sat-isfy business people who are looking for a quick and con-venient lunch.

“We are open to people cu-rious to see a student-run cafe, and we want curiosity to bring people downtown and eat at other restaurants, as well,” Bell said.

Once the soda and soy sauce are combined, pour into a diet soda bottle and put cap on tightly to seal in the smell and the remaining carbonation.4. Wait for target to indulge in one of the worst beverages imaginable.

EYE SEE YOUSupplies:• Googly eyes• Glue • Access to targeted

person’s refrigerator and all of its contents

1. Glue googly eyes on every single item in one’s refrigerator. 2. Are there multiple eggs in a carton or string cheese sticks in a bag? Make sure every individual item receives a means of sight.

*Also works well for office supplies in desk drawers.

MILK MISHAP Supplies:• White liquid glue• A smooth surface (piece of plastic

or glass works best)• Bar of soap• Knife 1. Rub the bar of soap on a smooth surface. This makes it easier to remove “milk” once it is fully dried.2. Draw an outline of “milk splatter” and then fill in completely with glue. Make sure to keep the glue thickness consistent. This will make removal easier.3. Place glue covered, smooth surface to the side and away from any obstruction. Even the slightest breeze from a heating and cooling vent can cause your fake splatter to ripple and look fake.4. Wait until glue is completely dry before trying to peel off of the surface. This can take 6-10 hours, depending on how large and thick you made your splatter.5. Very slowly and carefully peel off the splatter. Lifting the edges up with a knife can make this process much easier.6. Place milk splatter on your target’s laptop keyboard or other beloved electronic device and await his or her reaction.

FOIL FLOPSupplies: • Large quantity of foil

(the more the better)• Access to target’s bedroom1. This prank is simple; wrap absolutely every visible thing in foil. Pillows, individual drawers, pencils, perfume bottles, art on walls, televisions, etc.2. The crinkling of foil alone will make watching your target unwrap everything all the more hilarious.

MOUSE MAYHEMSupplies:• A wireless mouse• Access to a nearby friend’s

computer’s UBS port1. Plug in the USB of the wireless mouse into the target’s computer so he or she won’t notice.2. Slowly start to move his or her mouse around the screen from a remote location as they are type or try to work.

Today is not a national holiday, but it has ties all the way to the 1300s. Once mentioned in the Canter-bury Tales, April 1 is commonly recognized and celebrated with practical jokes galore. There is no bet-ter time to mess with someone than April Fools’ Day, but 20-plus years of prank pulling leads to most originality being gone. Toothpaste has been put in place of Oreo cream, rubber bands have been wound around sink sprayers and soap has failed to suds due to a good coat of clear nail polish. This is the year to update your pranks with five new hoaxes:
