IU alumnus and Dean of Students Pete Goldsmith addresses questions from the audience April 2 in the Wells-Metz Theatre. was really quite a contrast, and I was trying to resolve all of that in my head.

Welcome back: confessions of the student turned VIP

I had been a relatively good high school student, not a 4.0 student by any stretch, but trying to think about how I could be successful here.

This year is Pete Goldsmith’s first as IU’s Dean of Students. The alumnus tells us about his own days as a Hoosier, how he copes with student deaths, and why he wants to dine with the Queen of England.

On the biggest challenges he faced as a student at IU: I think for me it was the fear of failure. My family was living in Maryland, so I came out here knowing nobody. It was kind of figuring out how to navigate in this place and manage in this place, and really just not wanting to fail.

On what it was like being in ROTC as a student: In the late ’60s, it was very interesting. For me, it was particularly challenging because I was also a government major interested in developing countries. In my classes, I was reading lots of things that were highly critical of the Vietnam War and of foreign policy and kind of our ways of thinking of the world.

In ROTC, I was hearing about the dangers of communism and the dangers of the socalled “domino theory” that if Vietnam fell, the rest of Southeast Asia would fall. So it

Currently on his bookshelf: Vince Flynn (political thriller) novels.

Quad, Todd House (He was also an RA in McNuttCrone.)

Favorite books: Historical non-fiction, including “Into the Hands of Providence,” about Joshua Chamberlain.

Embarrassing moment: The airline lost his luggage when he moved in as a freshman. “For the first two or three days, I was here with

AS TOLD TO SARAH HUTCHINS | PHOTO BY TED SOMERVILLE On what exactly “Hoosier” means to him: Goldsmith: Well, the story I’ve heard most often is that back in pioneer days, folks would yell out of the wagon when they heard voices, “Who’s here?” It got mashed into “Hoosier.” But I’m open to other interpretations.

THE DEAN’S LIST

On dealing with student deaths: It’s always an extremely sad thing. I don’t ever claim to be able to know particularly how parents feel, but as long as I’ve done this, I just can’t imagine. You just try to provide as much support as you can.

Fear: Heights (acquired as he’s become older).

Happiest moment: The birth of children — his own and his grandchildren.

Scariest moment: Serving in and around Saigon during the Vietnam War.

Freshman dorm: Wright

On his hobbies: My grandson and I love model trains. He and I love to do that when we have a chance. Then I have this car, a VW thing that I like to tinker with and drive around.

It was orange, but now it’s Indiana red. When I was here interviewing, I was asked how I would be known quickly on the campus, and my answer was the car.

On what three people he would like to have dinner with: I would like to have dinner with Barack Obama because I think he’s really amazing in terms of his energy and vision and calmness. I mean, think about what he’s done in the last few weeks with health care, and yet he seems really focused and not overly exercised. I think also Nelson Mandela. He has this vision for what a better South Africa could be and what a better world could be. And I would love to have dinner with the Queen of England. My wife and I both enjoy British history and culture, and I think it would be fascinating to see the world through her eyes.

After talking with seasoned swapper senior Monica Debbeler, we tapped into the world of clothes swapping to see how it goes down.

First, invite your friends over and tell them to bring any unwanted clothing.

“The real advantage is you’ll have similar taste in clothes,” Debbeler says. “Generally the stuff is reasonably stylish. It’s a great alternative to thrift shopping, and a great way to hang out with your friends and get a bunch of free stuff.”

Don’t forget to complete the outfit. “I remember having a lot of success with accessories, and accent pieces mostly turned out to be the best,” she says.

“Weird or unusual stuff usually works.

People will be like, ‘How did you end up with that belly chain?’

We’re young. We’ve got love to mess around with, time to screw up, and money to lose. Right? We wish. Here’s how to get your life back.

Fresh out... ...of money.

Juniors Aden Adhanom and Lidia Gebremichael sit with empty Burger King trays at the Indiana Memorial Union, reminiscing about sophomore year, when they ate out nearly every day.

They’re now trying to cut back, but the cost still hurts.

“It makes me mad that I’m spending all this money,” Adhanom says.

“Though it’s not a lot, it could be something. I could have saved up for something else.”

BY JOE JASINSKI

WHY POOR SPENDING HABITS DEVELOP Most students are inexperienced with money.

“It’s really the first time they are out on their own and having to make a lot of spending decisions on their own,” says personal finance lecturer Doug McCoy. Some students value the short term over the long term. Many call this the “Latte Effect,” McCoy says.

“It’s a lot of little things we do every day: habits that cause us to spend beyond our means.”

It can also be classified as the “Pancake Effect.”

“You just keep stacking up and stacking up and it’s amazing how much money it is,” he says.

WAYS TO COMBAT SPENDING FOR THE FINANCIALLY NAIVE Play your cards. Check over your credit card and debit card statements and create a monthly budget, McCoy says.

The monthly budget should include income and two expense categories – fixed, or overhead costs like rent and utilities, and variable expenses like food and clothing.

Compare your projected budget to what spending actually occurrs. Focus on the surprises. “What was the variance?” McCoy asks.

“It’s very much like dieting: It’s about discipline and very little about rocket science.”

Being unfaithful to a budget can signal danger, economics professor James Self says. “Think about your budget and your priorities in a very realistic way, and stick to it. The first time you deviate from it, it always makes the next time easier,” Self says.

Budgeting your funds wisely and proficiently goes beyond monetary savings. It provides mental gain.

“It’s the positive, psychological benefits – the freedom, the sense of control that one has versus the anxiety and sadness that can come from being out of control,” he says. “It’s that you understand where you are, what you need to do to continue to improve your situation. And there is a lot of peace of mind to that.”

F FIVE TIPS YOU CAN TRY Y TODAY T Stockton says: Multitasking doesn’t work as well as people think it does. It causes impaired focusing.

Stockton says: Studies show that the most successful students do their homework during the daytime hours, not at night. This leaves more time in the evenings for participating in other activities, socializing, or relaxing.

1.

Measure the day in halfhours. It’s shocking to see where time goes.

2.

AFTER THE THE EXPERT DATE, SHE SAID: EXPLAINS:

We were able to talk the whole time. It wasn’t awkward. We had enough in common where we could talk for a steady hour and a half.

There were a few awkward moments in conversation when there were five or 10-second pauses.

I don’t think a lot of things are awkward, but I can tell when other people feel it.

I would see Fox again to get to know her better.

It was less awkward than I thought it would be.

We asked each other basic questions about our hometowns, majors, and extracurricular activities.

We talked about where we lived freshman year and what we did. Nothing too intense.

Netherland is relaxed, sweet, and friendly, but I want to stay single and have fun.

My big thing is, I’m 19. I want to see what’s out there.

Jennifer Bass, Kinsey Institute director of communications Our two daters aren’t necessarily compatible.

I think she has different interests than he does, but that doesn’t mean that they didn’t have a good time.

The awkward moments are natural, and they may not end with the night.

At IU, there is a chance you will see each other, and you know you are taking a risk. So even if it’s awkward for one, it is awkward for the other. So there is some comfort in that.

A good date comes down to communication and respect.

Pulled from the branch, piles of apples sit before workers wash and sort the fruit.

TASTE TEMPTATION

Follow the fruit

BY HALEY ADAMS AND CJ LOTZ | PHOTOS BY ZACH HETRICK

IU Dining Services is, for the second year, serving apples grown only miles away from Bloomington. Inside tracked an apple from the orchard to your order.

The Apple Works, a farm 35 miles northeast of Bloomington, supplies IU’s dining halls with crisp apples every week.

Director of Dining Services Sandra Fowler says the Apple Works is the only farm capable of supplying the quantity of apples the school needs for its students.

“We continue to look for local food and local produce,” Fowler says, “but sometimes it’s difficult for local farms to provide us what we need.”

The Apple Works has been able to keep up with the demand. IU purchases 10 V O L U M E 4 , I S S U E 1

between 40 and 100 bushels each week, keeping in mind leftover stock. The bushels hold about 90 apples, but that depends on the apples’ size.

The Apple Works coowner Sarah Brown said she thinks the University cares about the food it distributes and is catching on to the “buy local” trend.

“The fact that these are local means they’re going to be as fresh as they can be,” she says.

The apples are picked, washed, and graded for size, then stored in a chilled (3334 degrees) room. Every Friday, IU places an order and the Apple Works employees pull and box the apples.

The University selects two varieties each week from among Molly’s Delicious, Ginger Gold, and Gala.

On Wednesday, Brown’s husband and co-owner, Rick Brown, loads a van with bushels of fruit. Rick drives the apples to RPS Food Stores, an IU warehouse on 10th Street, before 2 p.m. so workers can distribute the fruit.

When the apples reach the warehouse, they are stored at 66 to 68 degrees for no longer than a week, says Ancil Drake, the executive chef and associate director for production.

Next, the dining halls and kiosks order what they need for the week, and the apples make the journey from the warehouse on IU trucks.

Once the apples reach the residence halls, apple lovers can purchase the fruit with meal points or money and crunch away.

Musicians upload to YouTube and break down a classical wall.

B Y S A R A H H U T C H I N S | P H O T O B Y D AV I D E . C O R S O hen Jacobs School of Music students Daniel Stein, Dash Nesbitt, and Renee Gilliland uploaded audition videos for the YouTube Symphony Orchestra last January, they had no idea they were on the cusp of a music revolution.

“It almost didn’t seem true,” Gilliland said, “putting the best all in one place. The best venue, the best conductor, the best composer.”

Musical fame turned out to be a different kind of YouTube fame – one that would lead them to a global orchestra in Carnegie Hall, playing a new piece written for the occasion by Chinese composer Tan Dun under the direction of Michael Tilson Thomas. After making it to the finals, flutist Stein and violists Nesbitt and Gilliland flew to New York City to meet up with 93 other musicians from more than 30 countries. After two days of rehearsal – and a few global jam sessions – the orchestra played a three-hour concert to a sold-out audience.

When asked if user-generated content Web sites can shape the global music scene, all three said the experience gave them a new perspective.

Take a listen: Gilliland: “I think this is a taste of the possibilities you can have with online collaboration. You think about globalization and how the world is getting smaller and smaller, but the possibilities are endless when you think about composition and how someone can start something on YouTube and someone else adds to it. I think that’s even already been done on a couple of pieces. It’s really exciting. It’s a fresh look on Western music, which is considered old and tired and trite and dying art, which it’s not.”

Stein: “For many people who applied for the orchestra, it was the first time they ever put a video of themselves playing online. That was actually harder than playing the audition music: figuring out how to actually do that with any kind of good sound you could hear. Like after this, many orchestra members know how to do it and are more likely to upload more of their stuff. It’s just a way to share your stuff. At a recital at IU, maybe 50 people will come. But you can post it on YouTube and leave it up there for a while and maybe 1,000 people will see your recital.”

Nesbitt: “YouTube is a constant learning resource for me as a musician. There are just so many wonderful ways to learn from it. So I’m constantly, like almost every day, looking at something. I’m more thankful for that now.”

Gilliland: “I also think the symphony was an effort to break down the fourth wall. I think people still think of classical music as having this fourth wall and the reason why we do it is because we’re so passionate and we want to share. Hopefully this is a way to reach out to more people about classical music and how meaningful it is all around the world.”

The queen of rebounds is serving in a new court.

BY HALEY ADAMS PHOTO BY ZACH HETRICK ost high school athletes only dream of playing for a Big Ten school. But for graduate student and Bloomington North alumna Whitney Thomas, this dream became a recurring one when she was recruited for both basketball and volleyball.

“I was recruited to play both, but the basketball coach decided that I shouldn’t do both, so I picked basketball,” Thomas says.

So Thomas hit the court, starting in 130 of 131 games, and was the second player in IU history to record more than 1,000 points and 1,000 rebounds in her career.

But after four years of basketball, Thomas wasn’t done with IU athletics.

An NCAA rule states that college athletes can play four seasons of one sport, and one season of another. When Thomas decided to pursue her master’s degree in applied sports science, she called on that rule to play volleyball for one season.

“Even though I hadn’t played volleyball in a while, I played a collegiate sport,” Thomas says, “and I would have experience because the team’s really young. So I thought, ‘why not? I’ll try it out.’”

To get back into peak volleyball form, Thomas started playing with the team over the summer, taking every opportunity for extra practice.

The work paid off. As a right-side hitter, she has the third-most kills on the team.

When she graduates, Thomas plans to return to basketball as a coach at the collegiate level. However, she won’t say whether basketball or volleyball is her favorite sport.

“They’re just so different, it’s hard to say,” Thomas says. “I played basketball much longer, so I know that more, but I really do enjoy playing volleyball too.”

Thomas says she would encourage other student athletes to suit up for two sports because of the relationships she’s building.

“It’s totally different when you go from one sport to another,” Thomas says. “You get to meet a group of people you wouldn’t have the opportunity to meet. I

Kelemwork Tariku-Shotts stands for the children of a forgotten Uganda, blending her business degree and life story.

V I S I O N A R I E S

A photo on a desk saved her life.

Now she wants to change the picture of poverty.

BY HALEY ADAMS P H O T O B Y D AV I D E . C O R S O eventeen years ago, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Cheryl Carter-Shotts stood before a group of children. When they spotted the American woman, almost all of them begged for food and money. One girl sat alone. Carter-Shotts took a picture of that girl, returned to America, and kept the photo on her desk for a year. Then, she returned to Ethiopia to look for the girl who didn’t beg.

The girl was IU junior Kelemwork Tariku-Shotts, now a finance and international business major. She was 6 when Carter-Shotts, now her adopted mother, found her.

“The only reason why they brought me to America was I was extremely sick,” Tariku-Shotts says. “It’s really weird to say, but I was pretty much going to die soon.”

But she didn’t. Instead, Carter-Shotts took Tariku-Shotts to the United States, where she received medical attention.

Now 23 years old, Tariku-Shotts is trying to help African kids get the same care she did.

She spent this past summer in Uganda volunteering for a humanitarian aid organization started by Carter-Shotts’ adoption agency, Americans for African Adoptions.

“We started a project in Uganda that worked with displaced women and children working in a rock quarry,” Tariku-Shotts says. “A lot of the children were orphans, so we took them into our agency to find families for them in America.”

She used what she learned from her studies to serve as the liaison between the families, lawyers, and agency.

“What we’re trying to do in Uganda is we’re trying to set up a place for women and children to learn trades, learn skills, and try to sustain themselves and not depend on foreign aid,” Tariku-Shotts says.

“Such huge organizations try to throw money or try to throw food, but it doesn’t do anything to solve the problem. It just perpetuates it.”

Tariku-Shotts knows what it’s like to live in a developing country. She still keeps in touch with her family in Ethiopia and has returned almost every other year since she was 12.

Tariku-Shotts says she wants to work with nonprofit organizations in the future so she can help people who may not be as lucky as she was the day Carter-Shotts found her.

“I can only imagine what would have happened, but I try not to live in the ‘what if,’” she says. “It’s literally one of the biggest motivators in my life now, to succeed for my family back home and for the chance I had that so many don’t.”

BY CJ LOTZ | PHOTO BY DAVID E. CORSO sak Nti Asare calls people towers of Legos. If we join in conversation, we should leave with a piece of the other, the way Lego structures never make a clean break.

Nti Asare explains ideas in simple images, but his vision is anything but portrait-sized. “Sometimes people ask you what your vision is and you feel like you have to ratchet it down,” he says. His face stretches into its comfortable smile. “I would like to change the world.”

For Nti Asare, that change will come through the languages of the continent his father called home, the continent he calls the next Middle East — Africa.

Although his father is Ghanaian and speaks the Ghanaian language Akan-Twi, Isak didn’t learn the language until he came to IU in 2007. Now, he speaks Twi comfortably, but he’s also studied Bambara, Swahili, Portuguese, and speaks fluent Spanish.

“The best way to know a people is to know their language,” he says. He spent last summer in Ghana, studying the relationship between Ghanaian institutions (chiefs, kings, sultans) and democracy. He stayed with extended family members who shared the stories of his family, passed down verbally through generations. “In the West, we’re all about finding out how we’re different,” he says. “In Africa, we’re trying to find a way to make people African.”

Nti Asare said Africans try to find a way to connect with everyone they meet, and this mentality infuses his leadership style. He is the president of the African Student Association, which welcomes both African students and those interested in Africa.

“Our goals are to highlight aspects of the African continent that people may not realize, to foster conversation, to incite action, and to help students reevaluate the beliefs they hold,” he says.

He takes inspiration from the current president of the United States, as well as a past president of IU. “Herman B Wells said that small minds think about 10 years and big minds think about 50 years 16 V O L U M E 4 , I S S U E 1

ahead,” he says. “It’s not to say that I have a big mind, but I aspire to be one who has a big mind.”

The only thing that can shrink a curious mind, Nti Asare says, is envisioning too little.

“We have this mindset of trying to get to whatever standard we set for ourselves, and the truth of the matter is that we can achieve whatever we want to achieve in life,” he says. “The difference between those who go far and those who don’t is just where they place their own ceilings.”

Nti Asare says he hopes to shape the world through the study of language, foreign policy, and a focus on Africa. He says he believes a world connected by language is a powerful one.

He tells the story of the Tower of Babel as an example of the strength of language. In Genesis, the story goes something like this: People start building a tower to heaven, God realizes they just might, God trips up their tongues and scatters them, people are weakened by their lack of understanding. For Nti Asare, this story reveals the ability of language to unite and empower.

osemary Pennington tells stories. She is the program coordinator for a podcast series called Voices and Visions: Islam and Muslims from a Global Perspective.

“If you’re not from that community, you don’t really think about how it’s represented in the media,” she says. “Not because you don’t like them, but because it’s not right there.”

Pennington’s podcasts present the experiences of Muslims in both longer narratives and brief “crash courses.”

One short piece discusses Halal, or Muslim food restrictions. It drew comments that revealed differences between Muslim traditions.

“It’s giving Muslims from other places access to other Muslims,” she says. “Even Muslims have stereotyped ideas of what other Muslims are like.”

Pennington says she appreciates feedback on the Web site. “The whole point of this project is to have these conversations,” she says.

“It’s not to resolve any of these conversations, because they’re never going to be resolved. I mean, we’re all human beings. We’re messy.”

Through the experience, Pennington has bridged her own gaps in understanding.

“I remember walking in with my shoes and realizing as I was sitting down that I should have taken those off,” she says of early interviews with families. “Now I know to walk in, take your shoes off, and just sort of settle down and not worry about it.”

Rosemary Pennington starts the conversation about Islam and then sits back to watch it unfold.

She chased a storm out of the classroom and across the Great Plains.

BY SARAH HUTCHINS PHOTO BY ZACH HETRICK

ORSO

unior Kristin Lucero remembers her first storm. She’s 4 and lying in her mother’s lap.

From the couch she feels a stormy spring breeze gliding through the open screen door.

“It’s thundering and lightning outside, and it sounds terrible,” she says. “At that moment, I couldn’t stop staring at it. I was just in awe, and it’s been like that ever since.”

Lucero’s passion for storms led her to pursue meteorology in college and, this summer, to join a program chasing severe storms across the Great Plains.

For two and a half weeks, Lucero and nine others worked with Ball State University professors to study and track severe weather.

After a briefing around 9 a.m., Lucero would hop in a van and head out to find a storm. The team would chase until 10 or 11 p.m., and sometimes drove more than 700 miles in one day.

“At first, we started to chase little storms just to get practice,” Lucero says. “About halfway through

Summer at IU Bloomington

and near the end, we started to see a lot more stuff.

We were able to see a textbook example of the way a storm works, the way it gets fed.”

Lucero witnessed meteorological magic: wall clouds, funnel clouds, lightning shows, mesocyclones (a step in the formation of tornadoes) and a tornado look-a-like called a gustnado. But the holy grail of weather — a tornado — seemed just out of reach.

“We were driving and it was dusk — no one was talking and we were all just leaning against the windows — and I remember looking out and in the sky I could see way off in the distance this cloud that was in the shape of a tornado. It was low and hanging in the sky like the perfect shape of a tornado,” Lucero says.

“To me it was just frustrating in a sense, because it’s like, OK, God, stop tinkering with me. It was only there for the time we all looked out. Then it was gone.”

Lucero never saw her tornado, but she left with an improved set of forecasting skills. Hopefully, she says, this won’t be her last experience driving into a storm.

“I always tell my friends that in the movie ‘Twister,’ at the end when Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt’s characters are hanging out and flying, I’m like, if I could do that safely, it would be awesome,” she says.

For now, however, it’s back to watching the clouds out of her car window.

“I just love weather,” Lucero says. “I know that sounds so nerdy and so cheesy. But even on a beautiful day, I’m just in awe about the way things work in the sky.”

Kristin Lucero breathes in a moment of calm. She took her degree out of the classroom to follow storms this summer.

rin Andrews is naked on a Monday night on the fifth floor of Briscoe-Gucker. In fact, the ESPN sportscaster, who was secretly videotaped in her hotel room this summer, may well be naked every night, thanks to LimeWire and Google Video.

Four freshman boys are sitting knee-to-knee on a couch made for three, in a room made for two. There’s a can of nearly empty Coors Light on the ground. Greasy Styrofoam plates are strewn about the floor. “Monday Night Football” commentary drones in the background.

“Tits! tits! tits!” they are chanting at a $1,700 MacBook Pro, which is streaming the pixilated peephole video. No doubt just a few weeks ago freshmen across the country were lobbying their parents for the highest-end laptop model.

Freshman dorms are a self-contained world for the thousands of IU students living in them. Governance is established early. Social credos emerge. Even the vernacular, while still English, changes upon entering this world. Much of the dialect centers on references to female genitalia, sexual intercourse, and verbiage developed to describe drinking cheap beer.

Smash.

Bong.

Shotgun.

Kill.

It’s a world that combines summer camp camaraderie, “Big Brother” drama, the Playboy mansion wardrobe, and “Lord of the Flies” anarchy. But in the words of floor dwellers, the first month of college is a time for growing up. It’s a time for building lifelong friendships. It’s a chance to simply worship the thrill of being 18 and free.

own the hall from where the boys are watching Terrell Owens and Erin Andrews, Ryann Schram and Carly Comparet are chatting between themselves. The girls weren’t originally roommates. But when Ryann’s roommate never showed up, the two decided changing rooms to live together made sense.

Ryann is from Fort Wayne. She has dark brown hair, long eyelashes, and a smile that invites others to her. She has 1,033 friends on Facebook, and tonight is wearing sweatpants and a pink headband. Her walk is a bounce, and she bounces in and out of the room full of boys. She describes herself as one of them in many ways — unflappable, hardly offended, even crude herself. On a coed floor where the boys saunter around in their boxers and scream “tits!” unabashedly from their bedrooms, what other choice does she have?

“It’s only when they have their hands down their pants,” she says. Then, they’ve gone too far.

Part of Ryann’s story can be gleaned from a few clicks on her Facebook page. She lost her phone recently, apparently as part of “a long night.” She likes “dancing, music, boys, traveling, and having fun.” She quotes Dr. Seuss about love. Lord Tennyson is quoted, too. Marilyn Monroe says, “Well-behaved women rarely make history.”

Becca Jackson, another girl from the floor, rounds out the best-friend-trio. The girls don’t like to think they could meet their future husbands in the next

... the intoxicating sense of freedom clouds what would otherwise be a simple risk analysis. four years. All three are single. They’re young and having just as much fun as the boys. Remove a groom from the marriage equation, however, and wedding plans for all three appear to be set. When Becca and Carly are bridesmaids in Ryann’s wedding, for example, they may wear whichever black dress they like, Ryann says. It will be a barefoot, beachfront occasion, as she describes it, shooting to Becca and Carly that toothy, almost mischievous, smile.

••• n the TV screen, the Patriots have just fumbled or scored or something, and cheers erupt from the room full of sweaty boys and the overcrowded couch and the Coors Light and the naked Erin Andrews. A table used for beer pong sits ever-ready in a room nearby. There’s been talk of painting that table, which was nabbed one recent night, heaved back to Briscoe along cop-filled roads, and dragged up an elevator before reaching its new home. It’s just a long, rectangular table, with a scratched surface and folding metal legs. Buying one wouldn’t cost much – certainly not as much as the bail at the county jail. But the intoxicating sense of freedom clouds what would otherwise be a simple

O

risk analysis.

“You gotta see this,” they’ll tell visitors to the floor.

Each person who walks out of the elevator and down the hall passes the spot where a few residents posted floor “rules” recently. The floor rules are just like the U.S. Constitution, assuming the Constitution was printed in 12-point font on white computer paper. That’s also assuming the Constitution discriminated against a class of “butter faces” and overweight women in general.

For example, one rule prohibits sleeping with “fat chicks.” Several sources, however, confirm this requirement was broken one night in mid-September. Another policy, also for naught, states, “What happens on Gucker, stays on Gucker.” Governance, it appears, is simple. Common courtesy holds this world together.

Take these implied behavioral norms, for example: •Drink as much as you want, just don’t vomit.

•Have sex whenever you like, just not when a roommate is present.

•Don’t steal. Ever.

•Talk loudly, whenever you like, just be mindful of lurking resident assistants during quiet hours.

Just how free are university students?

For his 2005 book “Binge: What Your College Student Won’t Tell You,” Time magazine reporter Barrett Seaman lived in dorms, interviewed students, and rode with cops at 12 universities, including IU. From fraternity party policies to college-sport culture, he debunks college life one issue at a time.

Here’s what he has to say about student independence: Freshmen aren’t free.

“Most of the students I met didn’t recognize that they weren’t free. As far as they could tell, they were. They could stay up all night, have sex pretty much when they wanted, eat whenever they wanted, and take part in a wide range of activities that provided great entertainment. Few recognized that all these ostensible acts of free will are taking place within carefully prescribed boundaries.”

On separate occasions, there’s talk of a girl who drinks too much. She vomits all the time, they say. A few of the boys suspect she has stolen beer from their refrigerators. That’s not on their minds this Monday, however. On the television, the Patriots are finally about to win. Popcorn is burning in the microwave.

Ryann and Carly are giggling in the hallway.

••• ecca, Carly, and Ryann aren’t necessarily at IU by choice. Each one describes how she wanted to be elsewhere this year. For Becca, college was a chance to escape her “preppy and obnoxious” suburban Chicago hometown, and try her hand out west in Colorado. She’s a snowboarder and an environmental this-or-that major. She has a peace sign tattooed on her rib cage. Pressure from her parents eventually made her cave. For graduate school, she says she still plans to head west.

Carly was set on San Diego State University, but ties to home pulled her back. Her brother died unexpectedly a few years ago. She just couldn’t leave her family now. “I think I’d feel guilty,” she says.

For Ryann, college wasn’t in the plan. She wanted to cut hair and do makeup back home. A big career isn’t central to her ambition, and she’s excited to have a family one day. At the urging of her family, she gave IU a try. Now, Becca and Carly are constant reminders that she’s here for good.

All three plan to join sororities this year. None know what exactly that means for their friendship.

B

Score. Standard dorm furniture and potato chips mean game time for freshmen Evan Ostrosky and Adam Flemming.

“These two just get me,” Ryann says of Becca and Carly. The friendship is new, but the girls say they have already been through so much. Like the boys screaming at the television, they are independent, alone, and out of the gaze of mom and dad. Of course, freedom and the stress of a new life brought tears and breakdowns for all three girls. Ryann’s came during the first week of classes. The notorious K201: The Computer in Business was simply too tough.

For Carly, the tipping point came on a jog at dawn during Welcome Week. She stopped for a moment near the Showalter Fountain. After her brother died unexpectedly a few years ago, a tear-filled journey awaited a devastated family.

For a girl who has lost too much, now is her chance to love. “I finally felt where I belonged,” Carly says.

“It’s so unfair I get to be here and experience it all.”

The anarchy of freshman life is maddening. All the while, it’s wonderful.

That warm, Bloomington summer morning, Carly stopped her run. She couldn’t go on. A swell of emotion overtook her. It’s feelings like these all freshmen likely have at one moment or another, even Gucker’s “tits!”-screaming, beer-burping boys. Whether freshmen like it or not, they’re alone and free, many for the first time. That morning the fountain water was dancing. Carly, knowing she belonged here, couldn’t help but cry.
