Tuition rates and parking prices.
Both of these issues play a large role in students' lives, and both are announced during the summer.
Tuition rates are announced every summer, and few are on campus to hear the news via the Daily News.
Previous summer Daily News staff members have worked diligently to find out why Parking Services unexpectedly and without warning to students increased the cost at the meters. Parking Services also announced the paving of the Scheumann Stadium lot during the summer.
It was during the summer when former men's basketball coach Ronny Thompson abruptly resigned amid allegations of racism within the athletics department.
Last summer the name of the Letterman Communications and Media Building was announced and gave way to the university's most famous alumnus returning to campus.
Former Ball State student Nicole Rash was declared Miss Indiana during the summer.
A new Concannon's location was announced as well as the conversion of the Barnes & Noble Cafe into a smoothie shop.
Who knows now what all will happen during this summer, but you could be the one catching everybody up in August.
The fiscal year ends, the minimum wage will be increased and who only knows what else could happen this summer.
Although students' plans may take them all over the country most will still be coming back to Muncie for Fall Semester.
The changes and announcements made during the summer could easily influence daily life at Ball State.
The Daily News will still be publishing new content on the Web every weekday.
