"Nine members of Ball State University's Natural Resources Club got into a tight squeeze on Saturday.

Spelunking through Buckner Cave near Bloomington, Ind., altered the perspectives of some club members.

"Until you're placed between a rock and a hard place, you don't have the respect for the underground world," Natural Resource Club President Lisa Nicklas said.

Spelunking is defined as any venture into a cave for recreation, she said.

The members worked with the Graffiti Removal Project that uses sandblasters to remove spray-painted graffiti from the cave's ancient walls, a first for the club."
