RA Shuts Down Fake Jello Shot Operation in "Freezer Force" Frenzy

MUNCIE, INDIANA - One RA, whose name will not be published on BSnUws in compliance with our Editorial Policy , allegedly disposed of Jello shots from a kitchenette freezer. Some students say the RA went too far, and others are saying she's just doing her job; But BSn's unproven conclusion for the incident will absolutely shock you! First, the facts: Barstool Ball State posted a screenshot of a GroupMe message from an RA, reading that the Jello shots were "disposed of" from "the kitchenette freezer". The message continued, calling it the "most idiotic decision", and threatening whoever did it to not "try that again". UPDATE : Barstool Ball State has since fired the admin who called out the RA. The account is under new management. Now for the BSnUws: Our nonexistant sources, who prefer to remain anonymous (probably because they’re also the ones who made the Jello shots), claim that this isn't the first time the RA has taken matters...

BSU Dining Buys, Rents Out Tupperware for Atrium, Following Bankruptcy Sale

  MUNCIE, INDIANA - If you've lived in Indiana before going to Ball State, it's a household name. Whether it be casserole, vegetables or fresh bread, you had to store the leftovers somewhere. Tupperware, the plastic container company, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. And, like most companies filing for bankruptcy, they need to liquidate their assets. Ball State University, who pays its President Geoffery Mearns more than Joe Biden, the President of the United States of America, invests in weapons that are directly responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians, and removed its bus tracking app has taken this as an opportunity to cheap out once more. The Atrium, which was assassinated to be an all-you-can-fit dining hall, has been assassinated once more with a new Tupperware rental container system. Instead of the biodegradable composable boxes, in the name of environmentalism, the University is renting out Tupperware containers. Dining portrays thi...

Trump Discusses "Transgender Aliens" Instead of TransLoc at ABC Presidential Debate

  PHILADELPHIA, PA - Last night, ABC News hosted the first presidential debate between former president Donald Trump and current vice president Kamala Harris. Throughout the debate, Trump continuously interrupted the moderators, allegedly going severely off-topic when a Ball State-spesific issue was brought up: TransLoc. TransLoc, a mobile app used to track Ball State shuttle buses, was removed at the decision of the University. No word or statement has been released from Bus Operations to the Ball State student body on why the decision was made, however some students have allegedly got in contact with the office and have received word that it was due to "budget cuts", despite the increase in tuition cost. ABC moderator David Muerer allegedly asked Trump for his perspective on the removal of the app. Trump, by either mishearing or outright wanting to change the subject to fit his political desires, switched the topic. "[Kamala Harris] wants to do transgender operations ...

Woodworth Dining Carves Student IDs, Payment Cards Into Wooden Slab Amid Dining Server Outage

  MUNCIE, INDIANA - It's a scene out of the 80s. Since the early hours of the morning, Ball State students stopping by Woodworth have been met with a peculiar sight as they try to pay for their meals: a professional woodcarver meticulously engraving to-scale replicas of student IDs and payment cards into a massive wooden slab. With the campus-wide dining system outage still wreaking havoc at the time of publication, most dining halls have reverted to the basics—pen, paper, and iPhone calculators—to tally up students’ meal costs. But Woodworth Dining has taken a more... hands-on approach. "We just wanted to prevent fraud," a Woodworth Dining manager told BSnUws, who watched proudly as the woodcarver, chisel in hand, painstakingly etched a replica of a Ball State student’s ID card into a plank of wood. "You can't trust these high-tech methods when the system’s down, but wood? Wood is forever." The woodcarver, a local artisan typically known for crafting intric...

BSnUws Sublets Office to Spirit Halloween to Afford October eBill Payment

  MUNCIE, INDIANA - Due to the numerous fees on the Ball State eBill, BSnUws has made a business decision to sublet its corporate office, The BSnUws Tower, to Spencer Gifts LLC, the company behind the Halloween conglomerate Spirit Halloween. A BSnUws spokesperson provided a statement from the founder, claiming the independently-operated outlet is "student-ran" and she "couldn't pay the bill". "Due to Ball State tacking on numerous fees to my eBill making it cost more than the original financial aid offer, including but absolutely not limited to a a $10 English ballpoint fee, a $150 marticulation fee and three separate residence fees--one for merely using my ID to enter my hall, I have made an executive business decision", read the statement.  "Even with my scholarship, the fees make the eBill look like a Ticketmaster payment, but without the Afterpay option. As such, BSnUws is subletting its iconc BSnUws tower in the middle of nowhere to be a new ...
