Scott Baxter, Marion sophomore, was only one of many who warmed up to the idea. The beat of a different drummer was the theme song for many Ball State students who marched through their academic year with a newly-found state of mind. lt could be found on the field, on the stage and, ultimately, on the faces of Ball State's student populace.
