On competition days, Indiana college equestrian teams arrive with a handful of horses in tow. Prior to each class, riders draw from a small collection of available horses. If they’re lucky, the horseshoe, popsicle stick or any other object on hand will partner them with a steed their team supplied; a horse they’re more familiar with.

I am so grateful for the leadership roles I have, but I am so tired of the emotional labor that comes with them because I am a woman.
Maya asks Ball State the Byte-ing Question, what animal would you pardon?
In the 1920s General Motors invested themselves in the Southside of Muncie. Along with them and other auto part makers, the Southside of Muncie continued to boom throughout the 50s and 60s. Increased automation and globalism of industrial giants began to come into the picture, resulting in lost jobs that had no promise of returning. By the early 2000s, the factories that once brought the Southside to life had closed and locations that once provided to the community now provided nothing but empty lots and rusting fences.
Muncie: What once was a strong community has struggled in the clutches of American problems. Collaborative community life in South-central Muncie has decreased over the years due to economic issues. The causes of this are not the fault of the community’s members, but the members can work to mend it.
Substance use is relatively common among college students. Studies and surveys in the past have found that nearly half of the United States’ college students admit to abusing drugs or alcohol during binges at least once a month. This fact has led many universities across the country to provide services to support their students who face health emergencies from drug or alcohol use. Many schools offer additional services to those students seeking to recover from their addictions.
Uncharted territory. That was my first impression when I ventured off campus for the first time as a freshman in the fall of 2019. However, after three and a half years at Ball State University, I’ve grown to appreciate southside Muncie and its stories.
When I first came to Muncie, I heard about staying away from “the other side of the tracks” — the dangerous side of Muncie. For my first two years here, I did just that. I stayed within campus and barely went beyond the roads of McGalliard and Tillotson. Eventually though, my studies forced me to cross those tracks and immerse myself in the space that was deemed unsafe: the Southside Neighborhood.
t’s the holiday season and that means it’s the season of giving back. On Dec. 3, the Muncie Southside Neighborhood Association held their veteran’s coffee club, which happens on the first Saturday of each month. This is an amazing idea and with everything veterans must deal with, it only makes sense that this should happen. Honestly, veterans get the short end of the stick when you think about it.
Throughout its colorful history, Muncie has been the latest spot for the gentrification of its South Central district. Gentrification is “the process whereby the character of a poor urban area is changed by wealthier people moving in, improving housing, and attracting new businesses, typically displacing current inhabitants in the process,” according to Webster’s Dictionary.
Muncie is in denial, the first notch on Milton Bennett’s Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity. Developed in 1986, the “Bennett Scale” explores ways people interact and experience different cultures. The six stages of the scale in order are denial, defense, minimization, acceptance, adaptation and integration. The Muncie community falls in the beginning of these steps: denial.
