Freshman point guard Luke Brown, left, looks towards the court after talking with Blackford head coach Jerry Hoover during a game against Winchester Community High School on Jan. 13 in Hartford City, Indiana. Hoover called Brown to the bench several times during the game, saying that Brown needed to get them a bucket, Brown said.
A new hope An 83-year-old coach and a high school freshman have resurrected a team. By Jordan Guskey jguskey@indiana.edu | @JordanGuskey
HARTFORD CITY, Ind. — The kid’s name reverberates throughout the gym. Luke Brown, the freshman point guard, remains stoic through the pregame rituals. His face, so smooth and innocent it’s as if he just escaped from sixth grade, shows only concentration as he nails each practice shot from behind the arc. His knees are killing him, but he ignores the pain. The old man who brought Luke to this small town and to this unlikely moment in its history stands a few feet away, motionless by the bench. At 83, Jerry Hoover is hard of hearing, but he knows how much it would mean to the home crowd for Blackford High to win tonight. Like Luke, he knows better than to let his thoughts stray from tonight’s matchup. Coach Hoover and Luke, 16, came to Blackford together. A package deal, brought in to end the lingering misery of one the worst losing streaks in state history. Now, on this Friday night in January, the team is 8-1 heading into this game against Winchester Community High School. Hoover wants Luke to take his time, but when the moment comes, to take it. “Keep attacking,” he keeps telling him. “Put it on them.” On the first possession, Luke pushes up the court and heads inside toward the hoop, a Winchester guard shadowing him. Suddenly Luke stops, takes a step back behind the 3-point line to get free and shoots. As the freshman backpedals away, his eyes follow the ball arcing. The coach tracks it too. In years past, it was anyone’s guess if a shot would go in. Now it seems preordained. * * * For a long, long time, the Blackford High Bruins forgot how to win. Then the old man and the boy showed up. Something about the duo — youth and talent guided by decades of experience — has sparked a resurrection that almost defies description. “Surreal,” Luke’s mom called it. Before Jerry Hoover and Luke Brown arrived in Hartford City, the Bruins had won one game in three

seasons. They had a 61-game losing streak that lasted from February 2014 to January 2017 — nearly an Indiana state record. The last time the team had a winning season, 16 years ago, its current upperclassmen were toddlers. Hartford City was enduring its own stretch of struggles too. Industry left. Jobs disappeared. More than a quarter of the town’s population vanished. Then last summer, Hoover called the high school with a proposition. “Hey, this is crazy,” he told Blackford High’s athletics director. “I’m an old man, and all I want you to do is hear me out.” The next morning Hoover was in Tony Uggen’s office offering to be the Bruins’ next head coach. The applicant was beyond qualified. He’d spent his life on a basketball court. As a six-foot-six walk-on, he’d played at Purdue in the 1950s and then gone into coaching high school. He had a history of turning around struggling programs and a gift for developing talent. At Ben Davis High, he coached Randy Wittman before Wittman helped IU win a national championship in 1981. At Logansport High, he’d coached Whitney Jennings — recognized as Indiana’s top female high school basketball player in 2014 — and led the team to a regional championship. But now he was in his 80s, and his white hair was thinning. He wanted to get back on the sideline, he told Uggen, but said the schools where he interviewed kept turning him away because of his age. “I don’t hunt, I don’t fish, I don’t play cards and I don’t play golf,” Hoover said. “I coach basketball.” And he wouldn’t come to Blackford High alone. He wanted his son Don, a former college basketball player, to serve as an assistant coach and take over if anything happened health-wise. Don’s son J.D.— Hoover’s grandson — would play his senior season for the Bruins. Luke, a distant relative, would move from Brownsburg with his family. The pitch sounded too good to be true. “What am I missing?” Uggen remembered thinking. “So we started making some calls, and I’ll be honest I had no idea who Jerry Hoover was. I feel stupid now, because as soon as he walked out I Googled him, and he pops up
“If you’ve ever had someone hit you with a hammer in the testicles, that’s how it feels. It’s a joyous occasion. Two years from now he’ll be fine.” Don Hoover, assistant coach
everywhere.” The package deal was built on three generations of Hoovers and Browns playing high school basketball together. Hoover and Luke’s grandfather, a prolific scorer who could knock down long-range shots just like Luke, were best friends and first cousins when they played together. Don played with Luke’s dad, Ted. And now Luke is playing for Hoover alongside J.D. As Hoover puts it, Blackford was a good fit. “Square peg, square hole,” he said. “Round peg, round hole.” When Hoover and his point guard showed up at the gym that fall, the team’s mindset transformed almost immediately. Luke played with a confidence that was contagious. Hoover preached fundamentals. That November, for the first time in more than a decade, the Bruins won their season opener. Then they won their second game. And their third. By January they were already closing on Hoover’s goal of 12 wins. The old man and the kid hesitate to overanalyze why the two of them work so well together. But the chemistry is undeniable. Luke responds well to Hoover’s even-keeled personality, and the coach’s respect for his point guard is obvious. “He’s just an All-American young man,” Hoover said. On defense, the freshman stays in front of his man but avoids committing reckless fouls. Averaging nearly 30 points a game, he’s third in the state in scoring behind two seniors — including Robert Phinisee, who will play for IU next year. Luke can hit shots from nearly anywhere on the floor, even half court. He can weave through a thicket of defenders on his way to the basket for a layup, pull up for a mid-range jumper and dish the ball to open teammates if the defense collapses on him. His spontaneous creativity is already drawing comparisons to NBA Hall of Fame guard Pete Maravich. Through it all, Luke’s coach towers by the bench, analyzing what’s unfolding, radiating calm. Everything about the man says he knows what he’s doing. * * * Only a few seconds remain in SEE HOPE, PAGE 5

Nassar sentenced up to 175 years in prison last week By Caroline Anders anders6@umail.iu.edu | @clineands
IU ROTC alumnus remembered as a leader, mentor and friend By Peter Talbot pjtalbot@iu.edu | @petejtalbot
IU ROTC alumnus 1st Lt. Clayton R. Cullen was one of two soldiers who died in a helicopter crash early in the morning Jan. 20 during training operations at the National Training Center at Fort Irwin, California, according to a United States Army press release. He was 25 years old. The cause of the accident is still under investigation, according to the press release. “Clayton was the kind of guy who would always open his arms to you," Shawn Stachula, executive officer of IU Army ROTC, said. Cullen would always go the extra mile to make sure people knew he was there to be a resource and friend to everyone, Stachula said. When Stachula was a freshman, Cullen was a senior. Stachula said he remembers him as resilient, kind and caring. Cullen was a mentor to him and many others, he said. Claudia Morin, a senior in IU Army ROTC who will be in aviation after she graduates, was one of the people Cullen took under his wing. She said Cullen helped her believe that she could pursue aviation. "He was dedicated,” Morin said. “He was willing to help anyone he needed to. He was definitely a competent and bold leader.” Cullen had a strong family upbringing and came from a loving and supporting home, Julie S. Cullen, first cousins with Clayton Cullen, said. Julie S. Cullen, 39, shares the same first and last name as Clayton Cullen's mother, Julie Cullen. She said Cullen was genuinely interested in the success of other people. “He was just interested in wanting to get to know you and wanting to see you succeed,” Julie S. Cullen said. When Clayton Cullen was in Indianapolis for the Army, Julie S. Cullen would cook dinner for him and the two traded family stories. Clayton Cullen's favorite food was fried chicken made by his great Aunt, Carolyn "Aunt Kay" Mengedoht. "He was just happy to sit down to a warm meal and take time to visit with me and talk about his family," Julie S. Cullen said. When the two had time, they liked to go to music concerts. They went to whatever concert would fit into Clayton Cullen’s busy schedule, including Jimmy Buffett, Dave Matthews Band and the Zac Brown Band. Clayton Cullen’s dedication to whatever he was doing extended beyond his studies and ROTC. Julie S. Cullen described a memory from last Christmas, which Clayton Cullen spent with his family, where he was building a gingerbread house for a fiveyear-old. "As the five-year-old lost interest and went to the sofa to watch cartoons, Clay didn't lose

He stood there and with his drive and determination and dedication to anything he was doing, that gingerbread house was put together perfectly.” With friends, Cullen was a total goofball and always the life of the party, Hannah Mackey, a friend of Cullen said.

al in the way he lived his life and the way he loved people. “He's so selfless, just so full of life,” Mackey said. “Clay, he could be a very serious guy. He's very smart. I always knew that he was going to grow up to be something amazing.” At North Knox High School, Cullen was a member of the National Honor Society and MVP of the soccer team, according to the Chicago Tribune. Mackey said Cullen played goalie for the team. Mackey said the most special moments she shared with Cullen were during an 18-day church mission trip to Sri Lanka. Cullen brought along his soccer ball for the trip. "A lot of times he would just play soccer with the kids,"
Mackey said. "Even though there was a communication barrier, he broke that barrier just by his love of soccer.” Mackey described a scene on the trip where Cullen was holding a Sri Lankan girl who was sobbing into his arms. Cullen held her calmly and was there for her. “You could just see the love in his eyes,” Mackey said. “Love for these people.” Stachula said their age difference and professional relationship made Cullen more of a mentor than a friend to him. He described Cullen as a leader, and as someone who had a strong presence in the room. Cullen was always asking others how they were doing and how they could do better, Stachula said. Cullen was assigned to the 4th Combat Aviation Brigade, 4th Infantry Division, also known as the Iron Eagles. Cullen exemplified what's expected of the Army’s best leaders, Col. Scott Gallaway, commander of the 4th Combat Aviation Brigade, 4th Infantry Division, said in the press release. “These two young leaders left an indelible mark on the entire Iron Eagle team,” Gallaway said. “We will forever be better soldiers, and a more combat-ready aviation brigade, due to their leadership." Morin said Cullen was always smiling. She said she didn’t think there was ever a time where he wasn’t happy to be doing what he was doing. “If you look at the ROTC Facebook page, the last picture is him sitting in his Apache, smiling at the camera,” Morin said. “That's the smile that he always had."
Larry Nassar, the former sports physician who treated the U.S. Olympic women gymnasts, was sentenced to 40–175 years in prison Wednesday by a federal judge in East Lansing, Michigan. There were 156 victim statements heard in the case. All came from women and girls accusing Nassar of sexual abuse. Nassar worked at Michigan State University in various capacities from 1996 to 2016, mostly in roles as the team physician. He was also a doctor for USA Gymnastics and treated multiple Olympians during his time there. USA Gymnastics is based in Indianapolis. Its entire board of directors announced Friday it will resign in the wake of the Nassar scandal, yielding to demands Thursday from the United States Olympic Committee. The MSU president and athletic director also resigned last week. “For over 20 years, defendant Nassar had unfettered access to young female athletes through the Sports Medicine Clinic at MSU,” court documents filed in March 2017 said. Investigations showed that plaintiffs seeking treatment for neck pain, back pain and other minor ailments were sexually assaulted and abused by the doctor. As a doctor of osteopathic medicine, Nassar’s job was supposed to primarily include work on joints, bones and muscles. According to the women who testified, their treatment more often included breast rubbing and vaginal fingering. It came out over the course of his trial that misconduct was reported to MSU’s head gymnastics coach Kathie Klages in 1997 or 1998, but court documents say Klages dissuaded the athlete who told her from filing a complaint. Klages said the report would have serious consequences for both the athlete and Nassar. Reports affirming Nassar’s abuse were made to MSU employees again in 1999 and 2000. Court filings said girls and women were abused from 2000 to 2016 because MSU took no action against Nassar in these early allegations. Nassar’s position was again called into question in 2014 when a plaintiff reported she had an appointment with him to address hip pain that resulted in sexual abuse and molestation.
MSU investigated these allegations, but dismissed them after concluding the defendant didn’t understand the “nuanced difference” between sexual abuse and appropriate medical procedure. One woman, known as Jane JMSU Doe in court documents, said she did not realize Nassar’s conduct was not medical procedure until she started hearing other women come forward about their experiences. Many victims shared the same story of trusting Nassar until hearing other accounts. Nassar was instructed not to treat patients alone after the 2014 investigation in concurrence with new institutional guidelines. He defied these instructions. There are over 150 statements alleging sexual abuse in this case, and each mirrors the last, sometimes almost perfectly. Nassar fingered his patients vaginally and anally without gloves and called it medical procedure without explaining why it was necessary. He often rubbed their breasts and would sometimes say sexually explicit things to them. MSU is accused of violating Title IX, a federal law which requires investigation of sexual assault, abuse or harassment claims and states that no person will be discriminated against based on sex, for not responding appropriately to the allegations against Nassar. The university is also accused of fostering a sexually hostile environment. In September 2016, Nassar’s employment with MSU ended when the university became aware of a former Olympian suing Nassar for sexual assault. In November 2016, Nassar was charged in Ingham County, Michigan, for sexual conduct with a person under 13. In December 2016, Nassar was charged in Federal Court for possession of child pornography. After a seven-day hearing, Larry Nassar, 54, will likely spend the rest of his life in prison. He will serve no less than 40 years. "May the horror expressed in this courtroom over the last seven days be motivation for anyone and everyone, no matter the context, to take responsibility if they have failed in protecting a child," said Rachael Denhollander, the first woman to publicly accuse Nassar of sexual abuse, shortly before his sentencing Wednesday. "To understand the incredible failures that led to this week, and to do it better the next time."

Polar Plunge participants dash toward icy waters on Lake Monroe. The annual event raises money for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Bloomington.
Polar plunge group overcomes icy waters By William Mulloy wmulloy@indiana.edu @WilliamMulloy
The Scott family prepared like any family would for a day spent at Lake Monroe — beach towels, sandals, swim trunks — but this past Sunday morning, it was 30 degrees Fahrenheit. Fog blanketed the surface of the icy lake, creating an eerie scene, as families and friends gathered around the beach head and took their last sips of hot cocoa before losing their layers of puffy winter jackets and caps.
When the clock struck 10 a.m., two members of the Scott family, along with more than 20 other swimmers, dashed towards the icy waters to celebrate the 6th annual Bloomington Polar Bear Plunge. “'Why am I this stupid?'” Eric Scott said. “I don’t know, but we’ll be back next year.” The water temperature was roughly 41 degrees, which Dustin Dillard, a Perry Clear Creek Fire Department EMT, said can be dangerous after several minutes. “After about five minutes your core temperature
will begin to drop, and your body will have a hard time moving,” Dillard said. Dillard was more concerned about the sharp ice. This year’s plungers were stopped about eight feet into the lake and were met by a large sheet of ice an inch and a half thick. The ice was thick enough to withstand the weight of a half a dozen kids sliding barefoot across the lake. There was splashing, yelling and dunking, and, for a split moment when the sharp winds died down, it appeared as if it was a warm summer day at the beach.
Shortly after 10 a.m., those who braved the ice retreated to their towels drying off their beet-red legs and feet. Teeth still chattering, families huddled together and embraced one another to regain warmth. This was Bloomington resident Jeanice Chastain’s sixth year putting on the event, which raises money for Boys & Girls Clubs of Bloomington. Most participants donate online, but Chastain said they raised over $100 at the event, not including online donations. “We’re not worried about the ice at all," Chastain said.
"It’s been much colder than this before." The plunge is normally held on New Year’s Day and symbolizes a fresh start to the year, Chastain said. The event was postponed this year due to frigid temperatures. Chastain said the plunge normally attracts about 150 participants. “We’ll be lucky if we get 20 to 30 this year,” Chastain said. Chastain said she is looking forward to growing the event and raising more money in the following years.
Indiana lawmaker proposes ban on eyeball tattoos By Laurel Demkovich lfdemkov@umail.iu.edu @LaurelDemkovich
A state senator has proposed a bill that would ban a practice known as scleral tattooing, or the tattooing of the whites of the eyes. Indiana Sen. John Ruckelshaus, R-Indianapolis, introduced the bill, which passed through the Senate Jan. 16 and will now head to the House. Ruckelshaus said he has not seen any reported instances of eyeball tattooing in Indiana, but the purpose of the bill was to be proactive. Ruckelshaus first got the idea for the bill from a neighbor who is currently an optometrist. Ruckelshaus heard about the health risks with eyeball tattooing, such as infection, which can lead to the loss of the eye. His bill would accomplish three basic goals. First, it would ban the act of performing or offering to perform eyeball tattooing. Second, it would create an exception for licensed health

care professionals to perform eyeball tattooing, if it is for a health care purpose. Third, it would make eyeball tattooing a civil offense that is subject to a $10,000 fine. The bill has already received widespread support, including passing 42-5 in the Senate. Ruckelshaus expects the support to continue as the bill makes its way through the House in the second half of the session.

When the sclera is tattooed, ink is injected between two layers of the whites of an eye. The ink, which can be any color, covers the entire whites of the eye, changing the color of the eyeball. The practice can be done by trained surgeons to remove scars on the eye, but it’s very rare, said School of Optometry clinical associate professor Dr. Kim Kohne. However, when an untrained
health professional performs it, it can lead to many different health risks. For example, if the needle slips while tattooing, it could penetrate the eye, said School of Optometry clinical associate professor Dr. Todd Peabody. If the instruments aren’t cleaned correctly beforehand, it could lead to infection. People receiving the tattoo could also have an allergic reaction to the metals

in the dye. All of these risks could lead to losing the eye. Kohne called eyeball tattooing a public health issue. “Your vision is critical,” Kohne said. “We’re trying to keep citizens safe.” Jon Rio, tattoo artist and co-owner of Evil by the Needle, said he has never been asked to give an eyeball tattoo and doesn’t think he ever would give one. Rio said he has only seen one person with one, a friend of his who had to leave the country to get it done. Kohne and Peabody are IU professors as well as practicing optometrists. Kohne said she discussed the topic with her students and taught them about the risks. Peabody said as a health professional, it is his job to stay on top of issues that can cause health concerns. When he first learns about an issue like eyeball tattooing, he tries to learn as much as he can about it. “Anytime something comes into the world, it’s our duty to learn about it,” he added.
A woman is suing the City of Indianapolis after she was fired from her job in the magistrate court for trying to remedy complaints about a coworkers’ body odor. The woman, Amber Bridges, had worked in the court since 2010, according to court documents. Another employee’s persistent body odor became a source of complaints from some workers in 2016, so Bridges, as lead staff at the court, notified her supervisor. She also took action by installing air fresheners around the office. Other employees also bought and installed air fresheners to mitigate “obnoxious chronic body odor” and “improve professional demeanor and productivity.” Bridges’ supervisor was aware of her buying air fresheners and did not say she disapproved. In May 2017, Bridges was told the coworker with body odor problems had filed a complaint about her for installing the air fresheners. The coworker said it created an “uncomfortable and hostile work environment” toward her. Bridges’ supervisors also told her employees were “afraid” and she could not be trusted in a leadership role any longer. She was fired May 11. Now, Bridges alleges in a lawsuit filed in December that she was fired for her association with someone with a disability — the coworker with body odor. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, people cannot be fired for having an association with a person with a disability. This could be a family member, but also can include any association or relationship an employee has with someone with a disability. Body odor can be considered a disability in some cases, according to the Job Accommodation Network, a resource about workplace disability issues. Court documents state that city officials fired Bridges because her issues with the coworker “distracted from the overall professional demeanor” of the court and because she allegedly abused her supervisory powers and instigated gossip. Bridges, in the lawsuit, instead asserts that her firing was actually because of her association with the coworker, making it unlawful under the ADA. Bridges is seeking from the city compensation, punitive damages and coverage of her legal fees. She is also demanding the city “adopt appropriate policies related to the hiring, training and supervision of its employees.”

Institutions are failing abuse victims
L
arry Nassar pleaded guilty on Jan. 24 for seven counts of criminal sexual conduct, concluding the end of a seven-day trial during which more than 150 women testified against him. He was sentenced to 175 years in prison. Nassar should never have been able to damage the lives of so many women, and the sheer quantity of women involved justifies further investigation into how this abuse was allowed to continue unhindered for nearly twenty years. The Editorial Board believes the institutions that enabled Nassar’s abuse to span decades are to blame. Larissa Boyce, one of the women who testified against Nassar, alleges that a Michigan State University employee was first made aware of Nassar’s abuse in 1997, when then-16-year-old Boyce reported to MSU's former Head Gymnastics Coach Kathie Klages that Nassar had been penetrating her with his fingers during treatments for a back injury. In a Detroit News article, Boyce describes that instead of protecting her, Klages chose not only to convince Boyce that she had misunderstood the situation, but also to humiliate her during a team meeting in which Klages questioned Boyce’s fellow gymnasts and ignored another girl who said she had been abused as well. Lindsey Lemke, a senior on the Spartans' gymnastics team, even says Klages passed around a card to be signed to show the team's continued support for Nassar after
he was fired from MSU in 2016. Boyce said in her victim impact statement Klages warned against filing a report, saying "I can file this, but there are going to be serious consequences for you and Nassar." Klages may not have been the only university employee to have enabled Nassar’s abuse. As the Detroit News reports, 14 MSU employees had the chance to stop Nassar and failed. More recently, MSU President Lou Anna K. Simon was notified of a 2014 complaint brought forth by Amanda Thomashow. Simon claimed not to have received a report of the ensuing Title IX investigation because, according to MSU spokesperson Jason Cody, administrative involvement “depends on the circumstances involved in each specific case,” and this Title IX investigation concluded "Nassar’s conduct was not of a sexual nature." The Editorial Board finds it troubling Simon did not make sure to review the report and that MSU's Title IX investigation concluded there was not enough evidence presented by Thomashow to continue the investigation. It is frustrating to know the failure of other university officials to protect the victims as they should have led MSU’s investigation to its mistaken conclusion that no policies had been violated.
Simon has now resigned, writing in an apology in a letter to the victims but stressed her “integrity and the fact that there is no cover-up.” A student body has the right to expect university offi cials will treat student officials well-being as their top priority and fiercely investigate any indication that students are at risk rather than trivializing or dismissing complaints altogether. The investigation itself also seems deeply flawed. MSU's lead attorney, Patrick Fitzgerald, claims "the evidence will show that no MSU official believed that Nassar committed sexual abuse prior to newspaper reports in the summer of 2016." It is naive to trust that the university will hold itself accountable at a time when it has so much to lose. As the Indiana Daily Student has detailed in “The system,” a report reviewing IU’s own system of investigating student reports of sexual assault, legal professionals including Bloomington attorney Amelia Lahn believe universities lack the necessary checks and balances of criminal courts. “It’s just not a safe place to do this kind of hearing,” Lahn said. Imagine that. The institution at which abuse occurred should not be the authority on how justice is administered. While not every aspect of the path forward is clear, it should be obvious the culture of negligence and disbelief perpetuated by MSU officials as well as the Title IX system by which sexual assault allegations are investigated both require change if we intend to give survivors the respect and justice they deserve.

Millennials should start looking into investing
Editorial Board weekly takes
Therin Showalter is a senior in English.
Nearly 80 percent of millennials aren’t investing, according to a 2016 Harris poll. But refusing to take your place on Wall Street means missed opportunities to improve your financial picture significantly over the long-run. Millennials are rightfully hesitant about putting their money into the stock market. We’ve seen two market bubbles burst in our lifetimes, both of which triggered merciless recessions that devastated many of our families. Although the economy recovered, we now have recordsetting levels of student loan debt and increasingly bleak job prospects. But investing can be helpful. For example, investing in your early 20s will lead to a much more lucrative retirement and, yes, you should be planning for that now. Market earnings compound, which means that postponing by just a few years could result in sixfigure losses.
According to USA Today, large-company stocks have generated compound annual returns of 10 percent since 1926 . And that’s despite the many U.S. recessions over the last century. So if you invested $10,000 in those stocks at age 25, you would have more than $450,000 by retirement age. If, however, you waited until age 35 to make that investment, you would have a bit less than $175,000. But saving for retirement isn’t quite that simple for millennials. College students, in particular, don’t typically have access to employer-sponsored 401(k)s, which match your contributions up to a certain amount, and they may not be ready to set up an IRA, or individual retirement account. Even so, we now have access to a multitude of investment options that are simple, accessible and cheap. Smartphone applications, such as Stash and Acorns, allow us to invest in the market without the minimum investments and service fees required by traditional brokerages.
I began investing last year with Acorns because it’s free to those with a university email address. The company does an exceptional job of explaining everything you need to know about the service and your portfolio in simplistic terms. For a brief explanation, Acorns invests your money in seven Exchange-Traded Funds, an investment fund traded on stock exchanges, allocated according to your risk tolerance, which include small-company, large-company, emerging market, international large-company and real estate stocks, as well as government and corporate bonds. Personally, I like to more actively manage my investments. For this, I use Robinhood. They’re a brokerage firm, like Scottrade or E-Trade, except they operate exclusively through a smartphone app. Because of this, it’s completely free and has no minimum requirement. Unlike Acorns, which does all the leg work for you, Rob-
inhood allows you to choose which stocks to buy and sell. And although this requires some research, the rewards are well worth the extra work. There are a lot of free resources available online, such as blogs and video tutorials, to help you get acquainted with the market. I know it’s intimidating, but the effort you put in now to understanding your financial options will be the best investment you can possibly make. So open an account and invest as little or as much as you can. While investing small may not return enormous profits, you’ll make more money than had you simply kept the money in a savings account or, God forbid, spent it. Plus, the vitality of the market depends on maintaining a consistent stream of investors. If our generation doesn’t invest as much as our predecessors, we’ll suffer the consequences. So do us all a favor. Invest. thshowal@umail.iu.edu

EVERYDAY ABSURDITY
After assault charges, we should stop consuming Bill Cosby's comedy Carmen Carigan is a junior in law and public policy.
Bill Cosby has slowly begun to do stand-up comedy again. And quite frankly, he needs to sit back down. Prosecutors in Philadelphia are prepping for jury selection for a retrial concerning the former comedian’s multiple sexual assault charges. Meanwhile, Cosby took the stage Monday night at a Philadelphia jazz club in front of, as the Associated Press reported, “a friendly crowd.” Cosby cracked jokes about his family, his legal blindness and other personal anecdotes for about an hour and declined to comment on his ongoing molestation and drugging trials.
As he slowly wades back into society, having been seen at a barber shop and a local café, it is clear the people of that crowd as well as others in the United States, are forgetting the multiple women who have accused Cosby of sexual assault. In a #MeToo culture where almost weekly a large-scale celebrity is explosively accused of committing an act of sexual assault, anger and mass disapproval are primarily directed at the "offender of the week." The vital piece to the longlasting potency of this movement is to not “forgive and forget” offenders who have fallen out of the immediate spotlight, even if their charges happened before #MeToo,
and even if they were once considered “America’s Dad.” Just to refresh everyone’s memory: Dozens of women have accused Cosby of raping, drugging and molesting them over a period of 50 years, starting with the first reported offense in 1965. These reports come from nurses, models, actresses, flight attendants, educators, writers and more. Additionally, Cosby is not out of jail because he has in any sense demonstrated innocence. He is out of jail because of a hung jury, which most likely occurred because of Cosby’s celebrity status and the luxury of posted bail. It is admittedly hard to look away from and try to forget the joy seasoned artists
such as Cosby have brought millions of audience members. It can be particularly hard when said artist is a longtime comedian, who, as we have seen over the past years, wields a craft that can unite people in times of uncertainty and strife. However, as stated so brilliantly by Tyler Coates of Esquire Magazine, “it’s time to stop separating the art from the artist.” The tired phrase bears repeating: actions speak louder than words. Yes, chastising Cosby in public, tweeting and writing about his disgusting acts are important to inform others and share common experiences. But these offenders who
are artists are never going to feel real consequence for their actions if we continue to entertain their art and celebrity in spite of whatever vulgar act they may have committed. Consumption sends a message. Think of it as a boycott of a service or product because you do not agree with the morals or practices of the company you are buying it from. If we want real change in our society to stick regarding celebrity sexual assault perpetrators and we want those accused of these unspeakable actions of be aptly punished, we as audience members must have the conviction to refuse to consume their product— their art.
As hard as it can be, silent action has the power to speak volumes louder than infinite words. Bill Cosby has had a long, impressive career that has positively affected many people. Many Americans may find themselves missing Cosby’s humor and wanting to either watch his older works or go see him in what I’m sure will be future stand-up acts. I strongly encourage those people to exercise restraint and to think about the longlasting effect that conviction to moral rectitude will have as opposed to the temporary gratification of laughter that can be received elsewhere. ccarigan@umail.iu.edu @carmesanchicken

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 the second quarter against Winchester. Luke has already scored 10 points, including the 3-pointer in the opening seconds, but it’s not enough. Blackford trails 27-23. On the sideline, Coach Hoover looks into Luke’s face. “We need a bucket,” he tells the kid. “Go get it.” The faithful watch his every move. His dad is sitting up high, in the second to last row. Ted Brown chooses a different spot each night so his son doesn’t know where to look for him. Knowing there’s almost no time, Luke catches the inbound pass and hurries up the court. He blows past a lone defender and lets his shot fly a little past half court. The buzzer sounds while the ball is in mid-air, sailing straight for the net. As the Bruins head into the locker room at the break, Luke’s heave has pulled them within one. In the second half, the Blackford defense is lackadaisical and can’t stop Winchester. They’re scoring from inside and outside, and at the foul line they almost never miss. Up in the stands, Luke’s dad shakes his head. “We better figure out some magic,” Ted says. Winchester’s lead is never in doubt, but the home crowd’s support never wavers. By game’s end Luke has scored 31 points, but it’s not enough. Winchester wins 67-60, and for the first time since the package deal, Blackford High loses at home. Luke sits in the trainer’s room after the game with ice on his knees. “We were trying to not lose at home all season,” Luke says. He’s disappointed, but not crushed. When Coach Hoover walks into the locker room after the game, he doesn’t give a rousing Hollywoodstyle speech. He thinks talking to a team after a game is unproductive because he hasn’t watched the film yet. “I love the effort,” he tells his players. “Come back Monday and we’ll talk about it.” The loss doesn’t faze him, or Luke, or the rest of the team. So much of the season remains, and they’ve already come so far. * * * Back in 1970, when the first class of students graduated from Blackford
AUDIO | Here from the attendees of the Jan. 13 basketball game about how coach Jerry Hoover has rebuilt the Blackford High Bruins.
High, the school had close to 1,200 kids. Hartford City’s population was 8,207. “This was the place to be in the ‘70s,” Tony Uggen said. The Bruins won nine sectional titles from 1970-84. But companies started to leave town, which touched off a population exodus. The basketball team’s struggles at times paralleled the demise, and some families even sent their kids to other high schools for the chance to play for a winning team. Today, Hartford City’s population is estimated at 5,920, and the high school only has about 550 students. The Bruins haven’t won a sectional in nearly three decades. Uggen felt embarrassed last year when the school recognized its new Hall of Fame class during a basketball game in front of a couple hundred, at best. The basketball team’s recent revival has crowds larger now than they’ve been in years. Blackford High’s athletic department has a bigger budget now, too. Uggen estimates the school made more money through the first nine games of this season than it did all last year when the team went 1-22. That means $4,000 for new glass backboards to replace wooden ones that have been there for nearly 50 years. The gym will get a new paint job over the summer, too, and Uggen plans to replace the banners that hang on the gym’s walls. Even the football team is getting new shoulder pads and helmets. Hoover told Uggen the basketball team didn’t need new uniforms. He’s more concerned with building the pipeline of talent. “We don’t want it to be just, ‘Hey Luke’s here, everything’s great,’ then in 2021 he graduates, and poof we go right back to where we were before,” Uggen said. Blackford wasn’t a wasteland of talent before the Hoovers and Browns arrived. But certain pieces were missing. The coach brought one of those pieces with him — a point guard — but the team still needs height. So now Hoover visits local elementary schools and the junior high at lunchtime, roaming the cafeterias to recruit. “I make no bones about it, I’m looking for tall boys.”
NOBLE GUYON | IDS
Above Blackford freshman Luke Brown ties his basketball shoes after flipping the lights on in the gym before the start of an early morning practice at Blackford high school in Hartford City, Indiana last Friday. Brown works out regularly before school in addition to practice after school. Right Freshman point guard Luke Brown signs a toaster for a couple fans while icing his knees in the athletic room at Blackford High School on Jan. 13 in Hartford City, Indiana. Brown said that he had been asked to sign a lot of stuff, but never a toaster. The two fans asked Brown to sign it because they thought he might make it to the NBA one day.
Hoover said. “If I can find a tall boy I talk to him, see if he’s playing basketball, and if he isn’t, I try to encourage him to do it.” Luke grew up watching Hoover coach. He admits he was intimidated when he first met the coach, but now he’s soaking up what Hoover is teaching him. The coach, meanwhile, knew early on Luke was talented. But until they came to Blackford, the depth of that talent wasn’t clear. When Luke wrote down his goals in fourth grade, one was to play Division I basketball. Even though he’s only a freshman, Ball State and Indiana State have already expressed interest. A framed note from Purdue assistant coach Steve Lutz hangs in Luke’s bedroom.
“I don’t hunt, I don’t fish, I don’t play cards and I don’t play golf. I coach basketball.” Jerry Hoover, head coach
The pain in his knees should be gone by the time he graduates. He suffers from Osgood-Schlatter disease, which won’t be resolved until he’s done growing. Don Hoover, the coach’s son and assistant coach, also works in physical therapy at Western Michigan University. “If you’ve ever had someone hit you with a hammer in the testicles, that’s how it feels,” Don said. “It’s a joyous occasion. Two years from now he’ll be fine.” Rest might be the best course of action for managing the pain, but Luke doesn’t want to sit. Most mornings, he wakes before dawn and heads for the school gym to work on his shot. Hoover wasn’t a fan of these early morning
workouts when Luke started them. But he changed his tune after his point guard didn’t come in early to practice one morning and shot poorly at a game that night. Luke knows the value of extra work. So does his coach. During the day, when his players are in class, Hoover preps for upcoming games, watching film in the training room for eight to 10 hours at a stretch. If the old man gets tired, he falls asleep on a nearby couch. Sometimes, when he wakes, he can’t find his keys. So the freshman searches the couch’s crevices and finds his keys for him.

Boilered up and beaten down
No. 3 Purdue uses late run to come up with 74-67 win over IU By Jake Thomer jjthomer@indiana.edu | @jakethethomer
IU Coach Archie Miller figured he should take some blame for his team missing out on a near-upset Sunday afternoon. They battled against the No. 3 Purdue Boilermakers for 35 minutes at home, but in the closing minutes, the Hoosiers went cold and let a close game slip away. Sloppy offense and tired defense from IU allowed Purdue to pull out a 74-67 win. After the game, Miller had some regrets about IU’s crunch time possessions. “You can put those maybe on me,” Miller said. “I should have had our guys maybe a little more organized in the last couple minutes, call a timeout and just make sure we get a shot.” IU, which dropped to 12-10 overall and 5-5 in the Big Ten with the loss, used the home crowd and timely runs to lead for a majority of the afternoon, but Purdue’s balance and veterans wore down the Hoosiers by the end of the game. Though IU trailed by just three
points with one minute remaining, senior guard Robert Johnson missed a wild layup attempt and turned the ball over in the closing minutes while Purdue’s seniors calmly hit free throws to lock up the win. The Boilermakers ultimately finished the final four minutes of the game on a nine to three run. “I think we just never got that one stop that we needed to try to make a run and get a four or fivepoint lead," Johnson said. "That’s what it comes down to in the end." Seven-foot-two senior center Isaac Haas, who got rolling early for Purdue, played a career-high 30 minutes and also helped ice the game with two late layups. Haas scored 14 of his gamehigh 26 points in the first half as IU tried to double-team him when he caught the ball in the post. The Hoosiers opened up a 14-4 lead to start the game, but Haas helped his team settle down and cut the Boilermakers’ halftime deficit to just 37-35. In a game that turned into a battle in the paint, Purdue’s big
man was almost always able to work his way out of the traps IU threw at him with a sharp pass or strong drive, which forced Miller to be flexible with his forwards. As the second half progressed, IU senior forward Freddie McSwain Jr. helped his frontcourt partner, junior Juwan Morgan, defend Haas down low while also flashing his finishing ability on the other end. Morgan led the Hoosiers with 24 points, but he also picked up four fouls. Morgan’s foul trouble and the absence of senior forward Collin Hartman due to injury made McSwain’s eight points in 16 minutes all the more valuable. “He played strong, obviously I thought he battled,” Miller said of McSwain. “Undersized a little bit, but I thought he really competed.” McSwain was on the court to guard Haas several times in the final minutes on Sunday, an opportunity he may see more of in the coming weeks. Miller said after the game that Hartman could miss an extended period of time after suffering a lower leg injury in

practice. With Hartman out, IU played a shorter rotation as only seven players saw double digit minutes. Johnson and Morgan, who combined for 45 points, each played 36 minutes. Shorthanded and on short rest, IU will travel to play at No. 13 Ohio State on Tuesday night. It’ll be the second time in the past week that the Hoosiers will play on one day of rest. But Miller isn’t feeling sorry for his team; he just wants them to keep fighting. “I think you're looking at a team that understands this type of competition level and what you have to do,” Miller said. “I don't think anybody left the arena tonight and said those guys didn't bring it. I thought we played really, really hard today, so that's the positive.”
The Hoosiers were bullied in the final minutes Michael Ramirez is a sophomore in media.
The rift between IU and No. 3 Purdue couldn't have been wider in the final minutes with the Boilermakers showing exactly why they are one of the best teams in college basketball.
Senior guard Josh Newkirk drives in for a layup during the Hoosiers' game against the Purdue Boilermakers on Sunday at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall in Bloomington, Indiana. The Hoosiers lost to the Boilermakers, 74-67.
The difference in the game came with 4:01 left in the game when the Hoosiers could only muster up one field goal and a free throw in the closing minutes. IU was outscored 9-3 during this
time, allowing Purdue to win 7467. Throughout the night, senior guards Robert Johnson and Josh Newkirk were playing some of the best basketball of their seasons. Johnson in particular was filling up the stat sheet with 21 points on 50-percent shooting, six rebounds and three assists. Newkirk was having a rather steady game, one of clean passes throughout the night and good decision-making without too many mistakes. As soon as senior forward Freddie McSwain Jr. hit his final layup of the game, dissolving the Hoosier deficit to just one point at the 4:01 mark, everything changed. IU shot just one for five the rest of the way and padded this stat with two turnovers by Johnson and Newkirk. The Hoosiers looked rushed, panicked and uncomfortable, even in front of their home crowd. There were separate occasions where IU looked as if it needed a timeout just to get its feet underneath itself. Fatigue looked like it played a factor near the end of the contest, especially because just seven players saw significant minutes all night. The trend of late turnovers in tight games continued for the Hoosiers on Sunday afternoon in a game that was in their grasps
once again, but slipped out in the final moments. "I just think we didn't do a good job of executing," Johnson said. "That's a part of executing down the stretch. You know, that's something that we have to get better at." The rotation was key tonight for the Hoosiers, especially in the frontcourt where the combination of Morgan and McSwain had the task of slowing down the big man for Purdue, senior center Isaac Haas. "Going into the game we just knew that with the size disadvantage we knew that we couldn't panic," Morgan said. "We couldn't just foul them — didn't want to give them 3-point plays." Even though the Hoosiers did limit the amount of Purdue 3-pointers made, it was the battle in the paint that proved crucial to keep the Boilermakers afloat throughout the afternoon. Purdue made just five threes on 28-percent shooting, but Haas seemed to be getting whatever he wanted at important moments in the game. Haas did his part to put his team in the best position to win with a huge presence in the middle of the paint, where he thrived Sunday afternoon. McSwain had one of his best defensive games of the season, limiting Haas' production when he would sub in for Morgan.
Even when the defense was at its best, Haas still seemed to find a way to put the ball in the net whether it was on a dunk or an easy lay-in. Neither Hoosier could stop Haas in the end, when the Boilermaker forward scored two baskets after he subbed in with 2:57 left in the contest. He and sophomore guard Carsen Edwards led the final push to ultimately slide past IU in a game that saw the Boilermakers exit Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall with a road win. There are still question marks that stain this loss in similar ways to the Duke and Louisville games earlier in the season. The execution down the stretch can't be overshadowed any longer, especially when it comes at the hands of self-inflicted wounds. Decision-making has to improve and the seniors on this squad, especially Newkirk and Johnson, have to be a strength late in games rather than a weakness. It's a matter of mental toughness and focus. While fatigue played a role in the late collapse, it still doesn't justify the way the Hoosiers finish big games with the hopes of winning in their control. @michrami_ michrami@indiana.edu

WOMEN’S TENNIS
IU remains undefeated, defeats Cincinnati and Xavier By Lauralys Shallow lshallow@umail.iu.edu @ShallowLauralys
IU did not get the start it wanted, but the Hoosiers climbed their way back to victories over Cincinnati and Xavier. IU dropped two doubles matches to Cincinnati, and the Bearcats took the doubles point. IU trailed for the first time this season, down 1-0. Junior Madison Appel and freshman Michelle McKamey lost 6-4, and junior Natalie Whalen and sophomore Emma Love were tied with their opponent at 6-6, but they lost the tiebreaker 7-5, and Cincinnati clinched the doubles point. IU headed into singles play needing four of its six players to win their singles matches against a talented Cincinnati lineup. “After we ceded the doubles point, I told the players two things: don’t panic and direct your anger in a positive way,” IU Coach Ramiro Azcui said. “They were all upset, and I wanted them to come out in singles and settle down and just play our game.” Sophomore Caitlin Bernard responded with a dominant performance against freshman Alexia Coutino, winning 6-1, 6-0, and evening the overall score 1-1. McKamey gave IU a onepoint advantage when she took down junior Antonella Bramato 7-5, 6-2. In the No. 4 singles spot, it was a freshmen battle between Jelly Bozovic of IU and Emma Miceli of Cincinnati.
Bozovic delivered, winning 6-4, 6-4, and earned a crucial third point for the Hoosiers. IU was one point away from winning the match, and it was up to Appel in the No. 1 singles spot to clinch the victory. Appel found herself down early when she dropped the first set 6-4 to freshman Ioana Guna. Winning the second set 6-0, Appel was not rattled by her first-set loss. In the third set, Appel found her rhythm, and she won 6-4, giving IU the fourth point it needed to win the dual match. “Everyone comes out strong against her,” Azcui said. “They come on fire. She did a great job of not getting angry and playing well for us. Her win was huge.” With wins from Appel and Bernard in the No. 1 and 2 spots, and Bozovic and McKamey in the No. 4 and 5 spots, IU showed its depth with both ends of the lineup earning points for the Hoosiers. Nearly two hours after its victory over Cincinnati, IU faced another strong tennis program in Xavier. This time, IU got the doubles point. Bernard and Bozovic won 6-3 and IU appeared to be in control of doubles, but freshman Olga Zavarotnaya and Whalen lost 6-3. Appel and McKamey’s match would determine if IU got the doubles point, and they won 6-3 to give IU a 1-0 lead. The Hoosiers lead briefly until Bernard lost 6-3, 6-2 to junior Sophia Abelson, and

the dual was tied at 1-1. Xavier would only earn that one point, while IU amassed five more. Whalen defeated senior Lauren Ghidotti 6-3, 6-3, Appel took down freshman Ahmeir Kyle 2-6, 6-2, 6-3, and Bozovic beat sophomore Rachel Reichenbach 7-6, 6-3, securing an IU victory with a 4-1 advantage. Having already clinched the win, McKamey still finished her match, defeating senior Elizabeth Bagerbaseh
2-6, 6-4, 7-6, and Zavarotnaya beat sophomore LaurenFitz Randolph 6-0, 4-6, 6-4, making the final score 6-1. “They’re two really good teams we beat today,” Azcui said. “In order to get ready for Big Ten play, we have to win matches like this. For them to come out after two hours of recovery time and play the way they did was impressive.” For the first time this season, all three freshmen, Bozovic, McKamey and Zavarotnaya, were used in singles
play against both Cincinnati and Xavier. The freshmen went a combined 5-1 in singles play during Saturday’s doubleheader. Azcui said he was very impressed with the freshmen’s ability to contribute points in both matches. Bozovic is 4-0 in singles, not dropping a set in either of those matches. “She is a tough competitor,” Azcui said. “She is a fighter, and it shows every match. When she has some
struggles and moments here and there, she finds ways to keep competing and believing in the process.” IU went a combined 9-2 in singles throughout the day. These two wins pushed IU’s record to 4-0 on the season. “Our team gutted out some of these wins,” Appel said. “They weren’t easy wins. We came out with good energy, and even when momentum wasn’t going our way we shifted that.”
SWIMMING AND DIVING
Hoosiers beat No. 14 Louisville, finish season undefeated By TC Malik tcmalik@umail.iu.edu @TCMalik96
For the second straight season, the IU men’s swimming and diving team finished the season undefeated. The last dual meet loss for the program came more than two years ago on Jan. 16, 2016. The No. 3 squad capped off their perfect season at 9-0 with a win over No. 14 Louisville on Friday afternoon to extend their win streak to 22-straight dual meets. Despite not having the best dual meet record over his career, IU Coach Ray Looze has turned his fortune around these past two years. “I’ve been a terrible dual
meet coach, historically,” Looze said. “They went undefeated despite my best efforts to defeat them.” Two Hoosier men swept their respective events, as Bloomington native Ian Finnerty won both the 100 and 200 breaststroke. Junior Vini Lanza also swept the butterfly events by winning the 100 and 200. While the men dominated in Louisville, the No. 7 IU women were also impressive as they squeaked by the No. 10 Cardinals in a tight race, 160.5-139.5. “They beat us at our place last year at home, so we got to exact some redemption on them,” Looze said. “There was some really entertaining racing.”
It’s no surprise that junior Lilly King was the star of the meet on the women’ side. King has been one of the leaders on the team all season long. At this point in her career it’s the same news for King every dual meet. Once again she claimed three individual events. King touched first in the 100 breaststroke, 200 breaststroke and the 400 IM with a personal best time of 4:13.69. The last dual meet of the season pushed the IU women above .500 as they finished the season at 5-4. While the record doesn’t look flashy, their dual meet schedule was brutal as they faced seven top-20 teams over the course of the year.
According to Looze, going on the road against ranked teams is one of the perks of being a top-10 team, something other coaches might not favor. Playing one of the toughest dual meet schedules in the country has provided the Hoosiers with the experience they need to go against teams in the Big Ten Championships and NCAA Championships. Over these next few weeks, the Hoosiers are somewhat in a lull until the Big Ten Championships. The women will travel to Columbus, Ohio, and compete on Feb. 14-16 at Ohio State. The men will get another week of rest before they suit up on Feb. 21-24 in Minneapolis.

Irish American painter presents diverse art By Clark Gudas ckgudas@umail.iu.edu @This_isnt_clark
Irish American painter Patricia Cole will have an opening reception for "Oil Paintings, Monoprints, Watercolors & Drawings" on Feb. 2 at the Thomas Gallery. The gallery will be open every Friday in February from 5 to 8 p.m., and also by appointment. “Mostly considered a neo-expressionist, she often chooses subject matter that is often somewhat different for the form,” Thomas Gallagher, owner of the Thomas Gallery, said. Born in Belfast, Ireland, Cole came to the United States at age three and settled in northern Indiana. She received a bachelor of fine arts in painting from IU and a master of fine arts in painting from the Maryland Institute College of Art. “Cole’s work deals with issues of dislocation and the redeeming power of nature, love and relationship,” according to her Ivy Tech website biography.
In 2001, Cole served as president of the Bloomington Common Council. She authored Indiana’s first Percent for Art Ordinance in 1994, which proposed improvement projects where part of the project budget is committed to public art, according to her Ivy Tech website biography. Cole also played an active role in establishing the Buskirk-Chumley Theater and the Ivy Tech John Waldron Arts Center, according to her Ivy Tech website biography. Cole traveled and studied in France and across Europe in 1977 and 1978 before she established her studio in Bloomington that year, according to her Ivy Tech website biography. She has received awards and residencies, including Visiting Artist at the University of Johannesburg, South Africa, and L’Ecole des Beaux Arts in France. She is a recipient of the Andrew Carnegie Prize for Painting at the National Academy of Design and Artist’s Development Grant from the
On being cultured: Western culture shouldn’t be the deciding factor Christine Fernando is a sophomore in journalism
A conversation with a few friends last week turned into a discussion about our favorite early 1990s movies, from “Silence of the Lambs” to “Schindler’s List.” But one of my friends was quiet. When we walked away, she said she hadn’t seen any of the movies we were talking about. “I’m so uncultured,” she told me. I reminded her about her encyclopedic knowledge about Bollywood film and music — a large chunk of the global arts industry that I knew nothing about. “That doesn’t make me cultured though,” she said. But it does. When we think of someone who is “cultured,” we conjure up an image of a person who can quote Walt Whitman, who goes to the IU Musical Arts Center to catch the spring ballet, who can pick out the best local underground musicians or who incorporates ancient Greek philosophers into conversations. We don’t think about the girl who can pull obscure but influential Bollywood actors out of her back pocket like they’re Pokémon or can talk for hours on end about changes in modern Indian music. Usually, the people we see as cultured are those who are familiar with Western culture, while those who don’t know as much about Western culture are pegged as uncultured. But Western culture should not be the measure of how cultured a person is or is not. Someone who knows the great American movies, books and musicals of the past century is no more or less cultured than someone who loves Bollywood or Nigerian Igbo movies or even Korean pop music. Our knowledge of Western culture should not be the deciding factor for whether we are considered cultured or not. In a 1994 interview with Vibe magazine, part of which was reprinted in Tom Perchard's book "From Soul to Hip Hop," the late rapper Guru said the jazz movement began in the African American community but was swept up into elite, sophisticated music when white elites picked it up. In his 2012 book, “Racial Uplift and American Music, 1878-1943,” Lawrence Schenbeck, an associate professor of music at Spelman College, also considers how white elites reconfigured the music of other cultures, especially
jazz, into something highbrow. Schenbeck claims white Americans began to think of jazz as high culture because they thought of African American music as “civilized” only when it resembled European classical music. For my cousins in Sri Lanka, American music, movies and TV shows are all the rage. If you don’t listen to English music radio stations or watch American movies and TV shows, you’re seen as uncool and lower class, even if you know Sri Lankan music, film and television. Why must art around the world resemble Western art in order to be considered part of high culture? And why is one segment of the world given the power to determine what high culture consists of or what being cultured really means? It just doesn’t seem fair to the cultural innovation of every other country in the world. We give high culture a narrow and exclusive meaning that is smug at best, and Eurocentric and elitist at its worst. But when personal taste is subjective, and the world has so much to offer in terms of culture beyond just the Western, there’s little to differentiate what we see as fancy, high-brow culture from the rest. To be cultured, you don’t have to read Shakespeare or listen to opera. Whether you listen to Beethoven or AR Rahman, drink expensive wine or cheap beer, watch American film noirs or Bollywood musicals, or read Whitman or “Harry Potter,” you participate in some form of culture. And if you love whatever section of global culture draws you in, you are cultured. Anyone who has knowledge in an area of culture, whether that be from the U.S. and Europe or elsewhere, should be able to sit in conversations about 90’s films and know that, while they may not know much about that specific cultural subcategory, they are not any less cultured. One of my friends recently created a group chat titled “Uncultured but woke swines at a spa night” in order to set up spa and movie nights to turn each other from “uncultured swine” to “cultured” by showing each other our favorite classic movies. So far, our list of movies only includes American or European films, such as “Shawshank Redemption,” “Star Wars” and “La Grande Illusion.” I think now we’ll have to throw some Bollywood into the mix as well.

for the cultural enrichment of Bloomington. “A community rich in the arts does much to enhance the quality of life,” Gallagher said.
Batman film producer to screen 'The Dark Knight' By Chris Forrester chforres@umail.iu.edu @_ChrisForrester
Film producer and IU professor Michael Uslan will present a screening of the 2008 action movie “The Dark Knight” at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Jan. 29 in the Franklin Hall commons. Uslan, who produced the film, will be present to give an introduction beforehand and hold a Q&A afterwards. The film, which will be free and open to the public, will be screened on the building's 24-foot-by-12-foot screen. “The Dark Knight,” directed by filmmaker Christopher Nolan, is a sequel to 2005’s “Batman Begins,” which introduced audiences to Christian Bale’s Batman, a notably darker take on the character. Uslan said he first bought the film rights to the Batman character from DC Comics in 1979. For him, seeing Christopher Nolan’s vision of the character come to life on the big screen was a dream come true. “What Chris has accomplished is to raise the bar for all comic book movies, because when you walk out of 'The Dark Knight,' you don’t have to say it was a great comic book movie," Uslan said. "You can now say it was a great film." Uslan added if he had his way, he’d screen all three of Nolan’s Batman films — “Batman Begins,” “The Dark Knight” and “The Dark Knight Rises.” He said due to time constraints he chose “The Dark Knight” because it was the apex of the trilogy. He also said he wanted to screen the film, which turns 10 years old this summer, because of its thematic relevance.

Batman producer and IU alumnus Michael Uslan, a professor of practice in The Media School, speaks Feb. 4 of 2015 in the Ernie Pyle Hall auditorium on the future of the film and television industry. Uslan will hold a screening of the 2008 action movie “The Dark Knight” at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 29 in the Franklin Hall Commons.
“I think today we no longer live in a comic book world of black and white, good and evil,” Uslan said. "We live in a gray world and we live in a world of order versus chaos. I think that ‘The Dark Knight’ is as relevant, if not more relevant, today as it was when it came out.” Uslan said he also wanted to show the film because he is back in Bloomington to teach two intensive Media School courses this semester. Uslan also said he wanted people to have the opportunity to see “The Dark Knight” on a big screen. “I believe that when you see a movie of this genre, whether it’s 'Batman' or 'Star Wars' or whatever, watching it on a small screen at home, you lose a tremendous amount of the impact,” Uslan said. “And giving students a chance to see it on the big screen for the first time, we always get the most wonderful reactions.” Jon Vickers, director of the IU Cinema, also said the experience of seeing a film
such as “The Dark Knight” on a big screen is a powerful one. “Seeing it on the big screen with a good sound system is much more powerful than watching on a small screen, like your computer or your phone,” Vickers said. The best part of Monday night’s screening is bound to be Uslan, Vickers said. “I think what really is going to be fun about this event is that you get Michael,” Vickers said. “Michael has been married to Batman for decades now, and he has a lot of great stories of what it took to bring Batman back to the screen. That’s where the experience is in this event.” Vickers added, while Uslan might not be Nolan in terms of being able to speak to creative choices in the film he’ll surely offer an interesting and invaluable perspective on the making of the movie. Uslan also said he hoped people would come to see the film and celebrate it. “There’s nothing like the big screen experience,” he said.

Local cinema collective brings new theater experience organization's founders. “We try to make it clear that it is a show, and that it’s kind of a community event,” he said. “The reason we’re doing this is that movies are great, but they’re best when you’re seeing them with an audience, when you’re in a crowd.” In selecting films, Brewer said the organization’s five members, all of whom are volunteers, focus on showing films they feel are underrepresented. They also look for movies that fit clever and fun themes that excite the organization’s members. “We let our own interests dictate the diversity of the screenings,” he said. The group also felt Bloomington had a lack of designated art spaces, and Brewer said they initially wanted to contribute something to the community. Arena added they’d been influenced by a theater in Franklin, Indiana, called the Historic Artcraft Theatre, and they wanted to try to bring something like it to Bloomington. “A couple of us drove up there, and that’s where we got our inspiration,” Arena said. “It’s amazing… it can’t not warm your heart.” Initially, the group had a consistent space with a local venue called The Void. Brewer said they always defined themselves as a popup because, much to the group’s collective dismay, The Void had been scheduled for demolition for a while. It was only a matter of time before they would be

Founded by five selfdescribed cinephiles, local pop-up cinema collective Cicada Cinema aims to offer viewers a new type of theater-going experience, according to Josh Brewer, one of the group's founders. “We really strive for showing anything old, new, locally made – just anything that we feel is underrepresented in town,” Brewer said. Cicada Cinema was first founded in 2016 when Nile Arena, Eric Ayotte, Charlie Jones, David Carter and Josh Brewer began tossing about the idea of creating some sort of local cinema group to fill a perceived niche. “We all love the different places you can see movies in town — there’s the Ryder, the IU Cinema, the AMCs — but we felt there was a niche for something a little more creative or fun,” Brewer said. After months of planning and a couple of necessary equipment purchases, Cicada Cinema was up-andrunning for its first ever screening on Halloween of 2016, a showing of the idiosyncratic stop-motion film “Torrey Pines” at the artistic venue the Void. Cicada Cinema also strives to provide guests with a fun experience that extends beyond the quality of the film and into the atmosphere of the event, said Nile Arena, another of the

without a constant venue. “There just seems to be a lack of affordable art spaces in Bloomington, and that was one,” Brewer said. “It was a real shame when that left.” After losing The Void as a constant space, Cicada Cinema’s organizers weren’t sure what the future would hold for their organization, said Brewer. Their main trouble was finding a new space, but they would need money for new equipment, as well.

Arena said that the organization found its salvation in the form of a Bloomington Urban Enterprise Association grant given to them by the City of Bloomington. The grant, he said, supplied them with enough money to keep Cicada Cinema alive for all of 2018. “We’re so thankful to the City of Bloomington for taking a risk on a kind of ragtag crew to let us keep showing movies,” Brewer said. With the money from the grant, Cicada Cinema
plans to screen one film per month throughout the entirety of 2018, while partnering with different local venues, said Brewer. “We wanted to just partner with a different local business, or art space, or gallery… just something downtown,” Brewer said. “We wanted to partner with someplace once a month, to bring people to different spaces in town.” Cicada Cinema’s January event was a screening of Golden Globe nominee
“The Florida Project.” For February, Brewer said that the group is planning some sort of dinner and a movie event. Both Arena and Brewer separately said they were immensely thankful for the continued support of the Bloomington community. “We’re really thankful for people just checking us out and taking a risk,” Brewer said. “I encourage people to take a risk and check it out — it’ll be a fun time, it’ll be worth it.”

Cahill leads attack against Rutgers By Murphy Wheeler jonmwhee@umail.iu.edu @murph_wheelerIU
Amanda Cahill was everywhere during the IU women’s basketball game against Rutgers Saturday. The senior forward didn’t just lead the way on the court in the Hoosiers’ 64-58 victory over the Scarlet Knights. She was all over as bobbleheads in her likeness circulated the stands in recognition of her becoming just the third IU women’s player to record 1,000 career rebounds during IU’s win over Wisconsin on Jan. 24. Cahill stepped up on her bobblehead night in a big way as she led a balanced Hoosier scoring attack with 14 points while grabbing a team-high seven rebounds and shooting 3-5 from threepoint range. She managed to get a number of open opportunities from behind the arc by being in the right positions after setting ball screens time after time. That ability of knowing when to fade or slip off of screens is something Cahill said has just become second nature to her. “My dad was a coach, so I’ve been around basketball a lot and have seen a lot of different types of reads,” Cahill said. “I’m always trying to read different types of screens or slips. I think it’s just something that comes from being around basketball my whole life.” Cahill also shot 5-6 from the free throw line, which contributed to the Hoosiers going 25-29 as a team from the line on the day. It proved to be vital in the Hoosiers securing their third straight victory as they were able to hit some key free throws down the stretch. Those free throws eventually helped IU pull away from a back-and-forth battle that started in the first quarter. After tying the first

Seniors Tyra Buss and Amanda Cahill hug during a timeout against Rutgers. IU faced Rutgers on Saturday, Jan. 27, and won 64-58 at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. Cahill scored 14 points.
quarter at 16 apiece, the Hoosiers took advantage of Rutgers’ leading scorer, senior guard Tyler Scaife, going to the bench with some early foul trouble in the second quarter. Cahill and freshman guard Jaelynn Penn combined for 20 points in the first half, and IU took a 36-29 lead into halftime after outscoring the Knights by seven in the second. Rutgers came out in the second half and immediately amped up the defensive pressure, forcing IU into some untimely turnovers. Couple that with Scaife heating up from the field despite Penn hounding her in the Hoosiers’ box-and-one defensive scheme, and the Knights were able to outscore IU 20-10 in the third quarter. Scaife, who is Rutgers’ only player averaging in double-figures this season, proved to be vital to Rutgers’ third quarter success offensively, but IU Coach Teri Moren said they had prepared all week to try and mix up their defensive schemes to throw Scaife and the Knights’ offense off-balance. After unleashing the box-
and-one in the third, Moren had her team switched back to man-to-man and had freshman guard Bendu Yeaney take over defensive duties on Scaife. “It was just something we thought we needed to do while watching film during our prep in order keep Rutgers out of synch,” Moren said. “The teams that have been successful against them have mixed up their defenses during the game.” After going on a 12-0 run near the end of the third, Rutgers held as much as a seven-point lead. However, junior Kym Royster converted on back-to-back 3-point plays for IU to bring them within 49-46 heading into the final frame. When IU got back within one to open the fourth, both teams took over defensively. Both went scoreless for nearly five minutes after the eightminute mark, but IU was able to finally reclaim the lead — Cahill reemerged after going scoreless in the third to nail a huge three with three and half minutes remaining. After a Rutgers score, senior guard Tyra Buss followed up with a three of her own. Cahill then stepped up
on the defensive end swatting away junior guard Khadaizha Sanders’ layup attempt. Penn would then go on the other end of the floor to make two free throws. Just like that, the Hoosiers had turned the tables and held a five-point lead with less than a minute to go. From there, IU managed to close it out down the stretch by hitting some clutch free throws. Cahill shared the scoring load with Penn and Royster who both scored 14 points of their own while Buss contributed 12 points and three steals, which made her the IU women’s basketball all-time leader in that category with 261 career steals. It proved to be a performance in which IU’s entire team stepped up to play well, something Moren has said she has been looking for from her team for some time. “Rutgers is a really good basketball team,” Moren said. “They were bigger and probably more athletic than we are. I think it says a lot about our kids and their determination and will. It’s an overall effort with our group. It’s always collective.”
The IU men’s tennis team participated in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Kick-Off Weekend tournament and came away with one win and one loss. The Hoosiers lost to No. 5 University of Southern California on Friday but bounced back to beat Southern Methodist University on Saturday. USC had singles players who were individually ranked within the top 100 in the nation. IU senior Raheel Manji was the only Hoosier to come into the tournament with a ranking, slotting in at No. 125. The final score was far from ideal for IU as USC claimed the victory, 6-1. Regardless, the Hoosiers kept fighting all the way through. It was the only thing IU Coach Jeremy Wurtzmann could ask for from his team. “I felt like the level that we’re playing at was very high and that’s all we can really ask for from our guys,” Wurtzman said. Playing at that level kept several matches close for the Hoosiers as four of the six singles matches went into decisive third sets. Although IU could only pull out one of those matches, Wurtzman said he was still proud of how his team competed. “For a few minutes there, we had a lot of momentum on four courts and it was great to be able to do that against a top-five team,” Wurtzman said. “We learned how we need to do

a better job of finishing some of these matches and not just playing close.” The one Hoosier who did finish his match on top was freshman Brandon Lam. Lam beat No. 82-ranked junior Jack Jaede in three sets. Jaede took the first set by the margin of just one, but it was Lam who went on to break his opponent multiple times throughout the next two sets to secure the Hoosier win. “Once I got that first one under my belt, I was able to relax and settle into my game and make my shots,” Lam said. “I just felt confident after the first set that if I was able to string a few points together, I would be able to break him, and that’s what I did.” Lam’s success may not have been contagious against the Trojans, but it certainly was against the Mustangs of SMU. The Hoosiers faced off against them in the Saturday consolation match, where IU won, 4-0. IU junior Antonio Cembellin and sophomores Bennett Crane and Zac Brodney each picked up singles wins against the Mustangs. The other three Hoosier singles players were all leading in their matches before IU clinched the victory and halted play. “We were again a great team out there and we put ourselves in the same exact positions to win the matches,” Wurtzman said. “I felt like the level of our tennis really took us through and we really dominated play against them.”
