There have been a decent amount of armed robberies that have been happening within the Village and surrounding areas. It's usually an instance of various groups of 3 men going around, threatening people at gunpoint stealing all items of value, and forcing people to keep quiet about any descriptions concerning these men. 

A class that is offered at Ball State is a walking class, fulfilling the required physical activity course every student must take. We believe that money would be better spent on a class that provides actual adequate exercise and offers something new to learn. This class is Self Defense, not only would all BSU students be able to have a greater sense of safety, it can also better the chances of getting away, preventing future robberies, and survival of threats. Instead of spending money on a walking class in which most everyone walks adequately enough, one could be receiving valuable self defense tips and actions to protect themselves and others.
