Local man dies after collapsing at skating rink BY MARY KATHERINE WILDEMAN

marwilde@indiana.edu A 24-year-old Bloomington man died suddenly while ice skating Saturday afternoon. According to a report from the Bloomington Police Department, the man fell at 2:30 p.m. Saturday at Frank Southern Ice Arena on South Henderson Street. IU men’s hockey Coach Pete Nelson said the man’s name was Michael Giesler. The cause of death is not yet clear. IU Health ambulance personnel attempted CPR at the scene but were unsuccessful. Later, he was pronounced dead in the emergency room, Bloomington Police Department Sgt. Joe Crider said. He had been ice skating and may have sustained a seizure, then fell down, Crider said. Giesler complained to two other people in the arena of feeling tired before he fell. Teammates of Giesler said he was an extremely friendly person and dedicated to hockey. “He was the definition of a rink rat,” said John Gerhan, who said he was Giesler’s best friend. Gerhan said his friend played on the official IU team for one year. After that year, Gerhan and Giesler became roommates. “He was a very effective, smart hockey player,” Gerhan added. Both from Minnesota, Gerhan and Giesler grew up in the same area and were hockey players on rival teams during high school.

When they both showed up to hockey tryouts at IU, Giesler initially refused to speak to Gerhan. But soon, the pair were the best of friends. “As our friendship grew, I felt like he was more of a brother to me,” Gerhan said. “We just got each other.” Nelson had known him since he started coaching the team. Also a fellow Minnesota native, Nelson said he had worked with Giesler during his first year coaching. “He was one of the first people I met here,” Nelson said. “First and foremost, he was a part of our hockey team with IU.” Nelson went on to explain that he is a member of the same men’s hockey league team in Bloomington of which Giesler was a member. Tommy Washburn said he was Giesler’s teammate for three years. He said the team is very close and that Giesler was a “huge spirit who truly cared about everybody.” “Michael played a big brother role for everyone on that team,” Washburn said. Gerhan said there will be a funeral for his friend in Minnesota and a service for him 10 a.m. Wednesday at Bloomington’s Allen Funeral Home. On Saturday, when the team plays University of Kentucky, Gerhan will wear Giesler’s jersey. “We’re going to retire his number after the game,” he said. Dennis Barbosa contributed reporting to this story.

Local cafe inspires one-woman play BY ANTHONY BRODERICK aebroder@indiana.edu

Rachael’s Cafe is more than just a coffee shop — it’s creative inspiration. IU alumna Lucy Danser wrote and directed a play based on one of her visits to the shop, which is owned and run by Bloomington native and entrepreneur Rachael Jones. “Rachael’s Cafe” is a onewoman play that centers upon Jones and her life as a transgendered person. After showing at U.K. festivals such as the Edinburgh Festival

Fringe, Danser is preparing for the play’s upcoming three-week run at London’s Old Red Lion Theatre, which begins Feb. 25. Danser is raising money on Kickstarter to fly Jones to London for the premiere. “It is totally unbelievable and amazing that I get the chance to see something that is based upon my life and my life decisions being portrayed in regular human nature,” Jones said. She said the play’s portrayal of the transgender community puts it in a positive light, where other

The Lifeline Law is a protective law in Indiana that provides immunity for intoxicated minors calling police on the behalf of an intoxicated individual. The Senate Judiciary Committee heard SB 227 Jan. 22. It passed with a unanimous 9-0 vote. “First and foremost, we hope to increase instances of 911 being called in life threatening situations related to drinking, drug overdose, sexual assault and crime in general,” IUSA President Jose Mitjavila said. “Students under the age of 21 should not have to feel afraid of making the call in life-threatening situations.” Members of IUSA have been working on SB 227 with Sen. Jim Merritt, R-Indianapolis, and Attorney General Greg Zoeller for the past year to add these provisions to the lifeline law. IUSA Vice President of Administration Chris Kauffman testified in support of the bill at the Senate hearing. “This past semester, the IU community lost several young students, two of them freshman women,” Kauffman said in his testimony. “What inhibited a swift call for action?

FROM IDS REPORTS

Congress’ performance won’t make the Dean’s List any time soon, according to a report from IU’s Center on Congress. A group of academic experts asked to assess Congress gave it a C minus for a subpar performance in 2013 Political scientist Edward Carmines, director of research for the center, said the majority of the experts questioned for the center’s research gave Congress a failing grade. “We asked, ‘Overall, how would you assess the legislative record of Congress over this past year?’” Carmines said in a press release. “Eighty percent gave Congress either a D or an F.” Seventy percent of respondents expected no change in Congress’ performance, he said, while 12.5 percent predicted the situation would be worse in the future. The Center on Congress is a non-partisan institution supported in part by the Office of the Vice Provost for Research at IU-Bloomington. It was established in 1999 to improve citizens’ understanding of Congress. Data from the survey was collected after the 113th Congress’ first session ended, according to an IU news release. Forty academic experts on Congress were asked about Congress’ decision-making process. The legislature consistently

received poor grades on each facet of its performance. “Congress is increasingly seen as a venue for the expression of competing ideological viewpoints,” Carmines said. “The experts think that many members of Congress are so driven by ideology and special interests that there is no room for experts or data or evidence to influence decisions.” Sixty percent of respondents gave Congress a D or an F on the use of facts and data to reach decisions, and 54 percent said Congress deserved a D or an F for its lack of reliance on the opinions of recognized experts to reach decisions. “If you’re looking to Congress to confront and deal with major social and economic problems, and to compromise in a way that leads to action on them, then Congress is a great disappointment,” Carmines said. In the eight years the Center on Congress has conducted this survey, Congress has never scored higher than a C plus in 2008 and 2010. Experts gave Congress another C minus in 2011, and a C in 2012. Lee Hamilton, director of the Center on Congress, said the survey is meant to evaluate Congress’ potential. “Our interest is not to dwell on past shortcomings, but to develop a sense of what areas are most in need of improvement,” he said.

The Student Event Planning Organization, a club in the School of Public Health, had its first callout meeting last Thursday to welcome potential new members. SEPA is a national professional organization that offers opportunities to students who are interested in the event planning field. Haley Sorenson, a junior majoring in tourism, hospitality and event management, is the vice president of IU’s chapter of SEPA. “My main goal is to serve as the point of contact for all of our guest speakers,” Sorenson said. “I work with our chapter officers and our members to select speaking topics and develop specific points for our guests to touch on.” Nationally, SEPA’s mission is to prepare students for success in the event planning and hospitality industries, Sorenson said. “In addition to the national mission, we’d like to ease students’ transition into the professional field by bringing networking opportunities directly to our members,” Sorenson said. “We really want members to be involved and engaged in discovering what is in their future.” The chapter was started after the Board of Directors reached out to Sorenson and other organization leaders through social media, Sorenson said. “The School of Public Health has opportunities for students in our major, but we thought this would bring something new and different into the mix,” Sorenson said. Students have dues of $50 for their first year and pay $35 per year after while they are still in college. Dues include local and national dues as well as a t-shirt. David Smiley is the adviser for the club and a lecturer in recreation, park

and tourism studies. Smiley worked in the hospitality industry for 25 years and said he managed facilities from golf courses to hotels. “It was a natural fit when they started the organization to be the adviser, because I teach all of the event planning classes here,” Smiley said. Students will be able to talk to people in the industry who come in as guest speakers, and SEPA has already developed some internship positions that will be available to members of the organization, Smiley said. “So far we have scheduled membership meetings twice a month,” Sorenson said. “In addition, we are working on planning optional social events for members. For our members, we will be announcing volunteer, job and internship opportunities throughout the semester at our meetings.“ The club will look at all types of event management and hospitality, Sorenson said. “We really want members to be involved and engaged in discovering what is in their future,” Sorenson said. SEPA is open to all students and can be beneficial to those outside of the tourism, hospitality and event management major and minor, Smiley said, especially to those in the Kelley School of Business who will still be involved in planning events throughout their careers. “It’s a great opportunity to learn some of the ins and outs of the industry,” Smiley said. SEPA’s next meeting is Feb. 13. “We want our new members to learn about the industry,” Sorenson said. “We really want to bridge the gap from student to professional.” Follow reporter Kathrine Schulze on Twitter @KathrineSchulze.

Squat city

ILLUSTRATION BY GRIFFIN LEEDS | IDS

WE SAY: Squatting is just another symptom in our homeless epidemic. Homelessness in Bloomington continues to be a serious problem. After winter break, an IU student discovered a member of Bloomington’s homeless population had been living in her home. This person, likely having no place to go and facing the extreme cold temperatures of the winter vortex, found shelter in one of the city’s many houses that sit alone while we enjoyed the holiday with our families in warm homes. This break-in isn’t the first, and it likely won’t be the last of its kind. Still, the break-in to the student’s residence is a

situation none of us would want to deal with, and likely a scary one at that. The incident is another symptom in chronic illness that is homelessness in Bloomington. Many of us have become desensitized to those most in need. Walking down Kirkwood Avenue and seeing panhandlers asking for money can be an eye-sore for the picture-perfect college town that is our city. But these are real people. It’s a reality. And it’s one few have addressed, and even fewer know how to potentially solve. The city is home to

several shelters and a significant volunteer base. Yet we find these resources are sometimes not helping those who need them the most. To be allowed to stay in some of these shelters, those seeking refuge must have no prior convictions nor a history of alcohol or drug abuse. Unfortunately, due to the nature of living and surviving in the streets, many do have a history of run ins with the law. Many also suffer from substance abuse problems. With these barriers in place, it’s no wonder some members of the

homeless population resort to squatting during the winter months in unoccupied housing. The Editorial Board highly recommends these restrictions be revisited. More importantly, Indiana — in conjunction with Bloomington — needs to provide more accessible assistance to the homeless. This means not just providing them a place to avoid the cold for a night, but also offering help with addiction and mental illness. We encourage serviceoriented and philanthropic organizations on our campus to look at homelessness in our city as a major issue

In defense of Israel and Zionism beloved land. The First Zionist Congress was held in 1897. Here, Theodor Herzl founded modern Zionism. Herzl was a journalist reporting on the Dreyfus Affair. In this case, a Jew was wrongfully convicted of treason in France. Realizing Jews would never be fully accepted into society no matter how much they assimilated, Herzl said Jews should do more to create their own Jewish state. Following the First Zionist Congress, Jews began to move to Palestine. They fertilized the land, turning the once barren desert into a place of life. Arabs from neighboring countries began to immigrate to Palestine, encouraged by the new availability of jobs. Joan Peters, a non-Jewish journalist, published her book “From Time Immemorial” in 1984. The book relied on data from the British Mandate and information in British archives.

It started in support of the Palestinians instead of the Jews because she thought Arabs had occupied the land before the Jews. However, during the process of writing her book, she realized the Arabs were moving in at the same time as the Jews because of the new economic resources created by the Jews. Britain signed the Balfour Declaration in 1917. It vaguely stated it was in favor of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. Soon after, however, the British revised this statement. When the British discovered oil in Saudi Arabia, they wanted the Arabs to have 70 percent of the land. They gave the Jews only 30 percent of the land, an area later known as Transjordan. The Jews did not protest. In 1937, the British created the Peel Commission Partition Plan, splitting the land evenly between the Jews and Arabs. Even though the Jews

agreed, the Arabs refused to compromise. Again in 1947, the United Nations created the United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine, deciding to split the land between the areas that were predominantly Jewish and those that were predominantly Arab. Although this came to be fairly even once again, the Arabs still would not agree to compromise. To them, it was not a war about borders — it was a war of religion. We have the right to live in Israel and call it our home. And anyone who thinks Zionism is some “bullshit excuse” just needs a basic history lesson. — aledaily@indiana.edu

THIS IS AN ARISTOCRACY

ON THE DAILY

Unfortunately, it seems anti-semitism is inevitable. As a modern Jew living in the 21st century, this fact makes me a bit discouraged. Last week, for example, was Holocaust Remembrance Day. Thirteen million innocent people, six million of them Jews, perished at the hands of the Nazis during the Holocaust. And yet, while walking back from Hodge Hall after accounting, I overheard one guy saying, “Hitler should have finished what he started. This whole Zionism thing is just some bullshit excuse so they can have a country they don’t deserve.” Zionism is not a new concept. In fact, the destruction of the second temple in Jerusalem by the Romans in 70 CE is considered the start of Zionism. Jews were forced to leave Palestine and moved to other areas in the world. Jews wrote poems and songs expressing their longing to go back to their

in need of their immediate assistance. If we want to help others, starting in our own backyard would be a great start. So far — despite discussing this issue year after year — the problem continues and likely won’t going away any time soon. It is dangerous to allow the issue to fester. In the instance reported, squatting hurt no one. Let’s not wait until it does.

Letters without those requirements will not be considered for publication. Letters can be mailed or dropped off at the IDS, 120 Ernie Pyle Hall, 940 E. Seventh St., Bloomington, Ind., 47405.

Being Latino in America is complicated. Even more complicated is being an immigrant in a different country with a different culture, values and standards. No one reminds me of this more than Shakira, the singer from Barranquilla, Colombia. She slayed us with songs like “La Tortura,” “Hips Don’t Lie,” “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)” and, most recently, “Can’t Remember to Forget You,” a collaboration she did with Rihanna. In a way, Shakira made it. She was able to conquer the American market, becoming a Latina pop star in her own right. Or so we’d like to think. What most don’t realize is Shakira today is not the same Shakira that captivated Latin America’s audiences and catapulted her into stardom. The Shakira I grew up admiring was an alternative singer with all the makings of an indie rockstar. In retrospect, she represented the rebelliousness and the restlessness of Latin America’s youth throughout the 1990s. Watching the music videos for “Pies Descalzos, Sueños Blancos,” a song criticizing the emphasis on propriety and materialism in Latin American culture, and “No Creo,” a song that mentions Karl Marx, Jean Paul Sartre and Brian Weiss, reminds me of the drastic difference between that Shakira and the Shakira singing about being a sexy she-wolf from a golden cage. Even physically, the change is dramatic. Shakira’s long, jet-black hair, which few are aware she sported for most her career, is

now just a memory, replaced with the blond bombshell we now know. So what happened? The music industry happened. Trying to sell an artist from a non-English speaking country isn’t easy. Just try to remember the last time you listened to artist on the radio not singing in English. As reluctant as the industry may be to admit it, whitewashing is real. And Shakira is a prime example of it. One of Urban Dictionary’s definitions of whitewashing calls it, “A term that now has also come to refer to the entertainment industry’s attempt at making ethnic characters more appealing to the white, money-spending masses by making exotic characters less ethnic and more ‘white.’” Based on the changes to Shakira’s physical appearance alone during her entrance into the American market, the drastic changes only emphasize the tragedy of neglecting a part of someone’s identity for the sake of selling a product. It’s also a reminder of how difficult it is for minorities to negotiate their heritage while also trying to assimilate into American society. Bottom line, Shakira has unfortunately given an entirely new meaning to selling out. — edsalas@indiana.edu

MCCSC discuss kids’ tech safety Man arrested for

drunk driving, firearm violation

BY SYDNEY MURRAY slmurray@indiana.edu

Parents of students in the Monroe County Community School Corporation gathered at Jackson Creek Middle School to discuss their children’s technology use. Monroe County Prosecuting Attorney Chris Gaal noted that while technology such as cameras, telephones and video games have been around for many years, information can now be distributed instantly. “Now we talk about images and messages going viral,” Gaal said. Gaal was joined by other members of the Bloomington community to discuss this issue. Gaal said there are more consequences that come along with today’s technology and said children don’t have the maturity to understand these consequences. “We know some of the content out there is not appropriate for children,” Gaal said. Attendees agreed child pornography has become a prevalent issue.

Bundy, who is from Mitchell, Ind., faces preliminary charges of operating while intoxicated, a Class A misdemeanor, leaving the scene of an accident, a Class C felony, and a handgun violation, a Class C felony. The officers obtained a blood sample and sent to a state lab. They are waiting to hear back on a toxicology report. Bundy is listed in the Indiana Sex and Violent Offender Registry on a 1995 charge of lewd or lascivious acts with a child younger than 14 years old. At the time of the 1995 crime, he was sentenced to six months in jail and five years of probation. With a bond set at $2,000 surety and $500 cash, Bundy bonded out at 11 a.m. on Monday. — Dennis Barbosa

Bills to watch: Minimum wage and female veterans BY MICHAEL AUSLEN mauslen@indiana.edu

BLACK HISTORY: NOT JUST A MONTH

TOP Minister Wanda Hosea from Light House Community Church speaks at the opening meditation for the “Black History Month ~ Bloomington Style! Lessons in Leadership” kick-off and opening reception at City Hall’s Showers Building Monday. LEFT Bloomington community members watched a video presentation called, “I Am the Legacy,” during the “Black History Month ~ Bloomington Style! Lessons in Leadership” kick-off and reception Monday at City Hall. The event included a keynote address by Attorney Jimmie McMillian, a partner at Barnes & Thornburg in Indianapolis.

S.B. 315, S.B. 327, H.B. 1151: MINIMUM WAGE. Three state legislators, all Democrats, tried this session to raise the state’s minimum wage. All three efforts failed. The Indiana minimum wage is $7.25 per hour, in line with the federal limit. The proposals, made by Sen. Frank Mrvan, D-Hammond, Sen. Karen Tallian, D-Portage, and Rep. John Bartlett, D-Indianapolis, would have raised the minimum wage by as much as $2.75. Mrvan proposed raising the minimum wage to $10 gradually, Tallian proposed raising it to $10 immediately and Bartlett proposed raising it to $8.25. The issue of minimum wage has been discussed across the country. In the past year, several states have increased their minimum wages, and President Barack Obama addressed the issue in his last two State of the Union addresses, calling for Congress to raise the wage. “Congress needs to get on board,” Obama said in this year’s address. “Today, the federal minimum wage is worth about 20 percent less than it was when Ronald Reagan first stood here.”

Status None of the bills made it out of committee before the deadline last week, so the General Assembly will not consider them further this year. Authors Sen. Frank Mrvan, D-Hammond, Sen. Karen Tallian, D-Portage, and Rep. John Bartlett, D-Indianapols. S.B. 354: HOOSIER WOMEN VETERANS PROGRAM. This bill would create a program to address the needs of female military veterans in Indiana. There were 33,015 women veterans in Indiana, according to data collected in 2009 by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs. The program’s goals will be to conduct outreach about available state and federal benefits and to make recommendations to the state Department of Veterans Affairs to ensure the needs of female veterans are met. Status The Senate approved the bill 48-0. It will move to the House of Representatives for consideration in the coming weeks. Authors Sen. Allen Paul, R-Richmond, and Sen. Sue Landske, R-Cedar Lake

The original Lifeline Law, which passed during the 2012 Indiana General Assembly legislative session, provides immunity for public intoxication, minor possession, minor consumption and minor transport to people who sought medical assistance for a person suffering from an alcohol-related health emergency. “The goal is not to

condone underage drinking but to acknowledge that mistakes are made — mistakes which should not cost the life of a young Hoosier,� Kauffman and Mitjavila wrote in a letter to the executives of other student governments in the state, urging them to support this motion. After its approval, a clause was added to make it effective immediately. The bill will go to the full Senate to be voted on in late February or early March. If approved, it will immediately take effect, Mitjavila said. “With more encompassing language and added protection to both the caller and victim, we hope to see increases in reporting,� Mitjavila said.

forms of media put it in a more negative light. Danser said she chose to write a play about Jones’ life because she was motivated by the way Jones was able to make a name for herself on her own when all the odds were against her. “The reason the cafe exists, is when she was living as Rachael, she couldn’t find a job anywhere ... no one would accept her,� Danser said. “So she took out a loan from a friend and put everything on the line to bring the cafe to life.� Danser said she thought it was the bravest thing she had seen anyone do. She said she hopes people who see the play will be inspired and learn how to make something out of their lives based upon Jones’ trailblazing. The play stars Graham Elwell in the main role as Jones, and is produced by Danser’s family’s company Little Fly Theatre. “Rachael’s Cafe� received positive reviews from various British publications such as WhatsOnStage, Three Weeks, New Kid at the Fringe and ScotsGay. Though the play is finding success in the U.K., Danser said she hopes to bring it to Bloomington. “We are looking to take it to America so we can do it in Rachael’s town where the cafe is,� Danser said. “It would be great for Rachael to see it again.� Follow reporter Anthony Broderick on Twitter @aebrodakirck.

situations where young people will share explicit pictures of themselves, which are then shared with more people than they intended. She said depending on the age of the person in the photo, this act could be considered dissemination of child pornography. Perry said it is important to talk to children about the dangers of sexting from an early age, by at least by fourth grade. She said she has already had a conversation about sexting with her child, who is in second grade. “It’s happening at a young age,� Gaal said. Bloomington High School North Principal Jeff Henderson said it is important to teach children about responsible technology use because they don’t understand the permanence of what they put online. Henderson said the part of the human brain that recognizes the consequences of actions isn’t fully developed until the age of 25. School rules have had to change over the years because of new and developing technology, Henderson said. “We can’t ignore the fact that this technology exists,� Henderson said. He said technology is even more prevalent because children can carry this technology around with them. Henderson said BHSN students are allowed to use their phones before and after school, during passing periods, at lunch and during class if they have a teacher’s permission. He said cyberbullying has become a major issue, and said it is harder to get away from bullying because online bullying can reach a child almost anywhere. As prosecutor, Gaal said he sees more and more cases that involve the use of technology and said it can be hard for parents to keep up with their children’s technological use because the parents might not be using the latest technology. Gaal said the overall message he hopes families and children learn is that once information is posted on the internet it is impossible to control who sees it and said it is important to put limits of where and how long children are able to access this technology. Henderson said although technology has its pitfalls, there are many positive aspects to it, some which allow teachers to pinpoint which topics their students need to cover more. However, he said it is important to be cautious. “We cannot ignore the fact that there are dangers that exist with this technology,� Henderson said.

Shane Schafer was a high school basketball player in 1991 for Andrean High School in Merrillville, Ind. After illness sidelined him, Schafer sought to regain the time he lost on the court. That desire started a legal battle with the Indiana High School Athletic Association, the not-for-profit regulating body for high school sports. The case continued for 22 years.

Court to court The longest legal battle fought with the IHSAA is coming to an end — after 22 years. BY MATTHEW GLOWICKI | mgowick@indiana.edu

A

ll these years later, the chills would crawl down his spine. He still remembers the gymnasium lights beaming overhead. The chant of the crowd booming from the bleachers. As he stepped on that polished wooden field, his worries vanished and his mind honed to the thump of the basketball. On the court, he was home. Shane Schafer, then 16, often played guard. He wasn’t the best. It was a fight to earn his spot on the powerhouse team at Andrean High School in Merrillville, Ind. But it was all he wanted. That passion was sidelined when sickness shelved his junior-year season. When he asked the Indiana High School Athletic Association for that time back, they said no. When Schafer filed suit and the court allowed him to play, the IHSAA countered with another rule to keep him off the court. As judge after judge sided with the Schafers, the IHSAA filed appeal after appeal to justify its exercise of power and maintain they were in the right. For 22 years, the legal case dragged on, like an overtime that wouldn’t end. “They couldn’t admit they were wrong,” Schafer said. “They couldn’t let go. They had to fight ’til the bitter end.” Now, after the most recent ruling in December, the court battle has reached a resolution. *

he court to court saga has been a battle of wills and endurance. It stands as the longest legal battle the IHSAA has ever fought. A series of judges railed against the governing body through the years. Early courts found the way the IHSAA applied its rules to Shane to be “arbitrary and capricious.” It characterized the IHSAA’s decades-long defense as “frivolous, unreasonable, and groundless.” Multiple court opinions questioned the IHSAA’s motives, wondering aloud if its tactics were meant to intimidate challengers to its power. C. Eugene Cato, then the association’s commissioner, was asked in court why the IHSAA continued to appeal. “I don’t know why,” he said. The love of the game, the beating heart of small towns across the Hoosier nation, was threatened by the very organization entrusted to “encourage and direct wholesome amateur athletics in the high schools of Indiana.” The power play shadowed Shane Schafer as he graduated from Andrean, then through his college years, his wedding and the birth of his

two daughters. Though he admits the case made him bitter, his memories of playing still bring a smile to his face. Earning a spot on the Andrean High School basketball team was a matter of pride, and for Schafer, it became part of his high school identity. Teammates became best friends. They hung out outside of practice. Before games, the friends would eat dinner at Schafer’s house. They felt the pulse of early 1990s rap in the locker room as they readied themselves to play. “The fulfillment of just being with that team,” Schafer said, “was just greater than anything else for me.” He worked his way to the varsity team his junior year. He was positioned for a successful senior year, and who knew, maybe college? As winter hit, so did chronic sinus pain that eventually forced Schafer off the court, away from school and into the hospital for surgery. The recovery was complicated and lengthy. Schafer missed so much school that Andrean allowed him to re-do his junior year. When he wrote to the IHSAA to ask for another year on the court, the governing body refused. IHSSA rules prevent students from playing more than eight consecutive semesters. The family appealed again. This time, the IHSAA said Shane was not only eligible to play for one more year, but that another rule made him ineliegilbe for half of the only year he had left. The IHSAA’s refusal sparked Shane’s uncle, attorney Timothy Schafer, to step in and file suit. They took the case to a Lake County Superior Court in November 1991. “I felt that because we chose to appeal that first ruling, they were going to show me,” Schafer said. “They were going to find a rule to apply to me to knock me down even further.” The Lake Superior Court ruled that Schafer “appears to be entitled to take part in athletic competition” during the second semester of his junior year, according to court documents. Teammates, coaches and family rallied around Schafer. He even received an encouraging handwritten letter from a former coach. “It was inspiring for me to keep up to fight,” Schafer said. At the request of the IHSAA, the case was moved to the Jasper Circuit Court, where Judge Raymond Kickbush ruled on the case in January 1992. He concluded IHSAA rules were “overly broad, overly inclusive, arbitrary, and SEE COURT, PAGE 12

IU Zappa course named ‘oddest’ course

EDITORS: RACHEL OSMAN & SARAH ZINN | ARTS@IDSNEWS.COM

NPR recently named the Jacobs School of Music class “Z402: The Music of Frank Zappa” as one of “6 Odd College Courses In America.” The course is a detailed survey of the life and musical career of rock music’s coolest

composer, according to the school’s website. Professor Andy Hollinden discusses all of Zappa’s commercially-released albums as part of the course, many of which are required listening for the course.

POSTCARD FROM PARIS

People watching on the Paris Metro

COURTESY PHOTOS

The Paris Métro is a train line that functions both underground as well as above ground. The line is similar to train systems in the United States.

Any major city offers quality people watching. But in order to see the greatest array of characters, you have to take public transportation. In Paris, it’s the Métro. The train line functions both underground as well as above ground, similar to train systems in major cities in the United States. As much as I love how efficient the metro is, and how I can get to any part of Paris without a car, the people watching is by far my favorite part. But here’s the catch: you can’t make eye contact with people in Paris. While it’s common to smile at someone in the U.S., even if that person is a stranger, it is simply not part of the culture in Paris. If by mistake you do end up mak-

ing excessive eye contact with someone, be prepared to have a potential stalker. Eye contact is a way to express interest in a stranger, so unless you are ready to mingle, it’s highly recommended you stare at your feet while on the metro. The first time I rode the metro, I was staring at people constantly. Public transportation pulls people from every part of the city, as well as the suburbs, into one collective space. It provides a great sampling of Paris’ diversity. Of course, it didn’t take long for me to realize I was one of the few lost foreigners who hadn’t received the keep-your-eyes-to-yourself memo. Now, I stick to reading or listening to music as I slyly sneak a peak at the people around me every now and

then. Even after adapting a more Parisian approach to riding the metro, I have witnessed an accordion player accompanied by a young boy singing gibberish, a Spanish couple singing “Stand by Me,” a woman running out of the train to relieve herself right on the platform as well as people spreading political propaganda. So, although it is in your best interest to keep to yourself while riding the metro, it certainly doesn’t take away from the characters you are sure to run into. — anukumar@indiana.edu

Folk singer Anais Mitchell will play a few well-known stories to contemporary folk music 8 tonight at the BuskirkChumley Theater. Mitchell will open for singer-songwriter Patty Griffin. General tickets are $20 and student tickets are available for $15 with a valid student ID. Mitchell’s latest album, “Child Ballads,” was named one of the best folk albums of 2013 by NPR and nominated for best folk album and best traditional song by the BBC Radio 2. Mitchell said being recognized by NPR was a surprise. “I didn’t expect a (traditional) record to get that kind of recognition, the songs coming as they do from another time and another place,” she said. “Proof that these weird, beautiful, ancient stories still have the power to move people.” The album features seven covers of 19th century scholar Francis James Child’s English and Scottish Popular Ballads. Mitchell collaborated with singer-songwriter Jefferson Hamer to create the album. Many folk singers have covered the “Child Ballads” in

the past, which Mitchell said influenced which songs they chose to record. For instance, Mitchell said the first songs they arranged were previously-covered pieces that they admired, such as Martin Carthy’s version of “Willie’s Lady” and Nic Jones’s “Penguin Eggs.” Mitchell said she and Hamer did not initially intend to cover only Child’s works on this album, but the more they looked at the stories, the more they wanted to arrange his works. “A lot of these stories are love stories, stories about lovers who have to overcome great odds to be together,” Mitchell said. “Sometimes they win, sometimes they lose, but there’s always that passion. It’s fun to sing that kind of passion.” In order to feel that passion, Mitchell said she and Hamer recorded the album without wearing headphones in the recording studio. “It was such a lovely way to record,” she said. “Just two guitars, two voices in a room as close to each other as we could get without too much microphone bleed.” She said while the process seemed simple, it took the two artists a long time to be able to

sit down and record that way. Hamer will not be performing or touring with her, Mitchell said. Her performance tonight will be followed by a performance from Grammy-winning folk artist Patty Griffin. Griffin’s album “American Kid” was also one of NPR’s best folk albums of 2013. “She is an angel and her music is so consistent and so inspiring,” Mitchell said. “There’s no one like her.” Mitchell last performed in Bloomington in April 2012 with the Young Man Band. Mitchell said she has also been spending time with her daughter and husband, who are accompanying her on the tour. “It’s a family tour,” she said. “Child Ballads” is Mitchell’s fifth studio album. The Vermont-native started her wown recording label called Wilderland Records in 2012. This is her second album with her own label. Mitchell said she is currently working on new music for an extended release version of her 2010 folk operabased album “Hadestown,” which she said will likely be released in August.

The IU softball team finishes preparations for a game during the 2013 season. IU looks to improve upon its 19-35, 2013 record this coming season, which begins this weekend.

Boldness priority for softball team BY DAN MATNEY cdmatney@indiana.edu

The IU softball team wants to shock the world this year. Senior pitcher Meaghan Murphy said the team wants to not only win but also earn respect. “We aren’t the same team that we were last year,” she said. “We are coming back with a little bit of vengeance, and we are going to turn a lot of heads.” Murphy said the Hoosiers, who finished with an overall record of 19-35 last season, want to prove to everyone that they aren’t the same team that finished with a 3-19 mark in Big Ten play in 2013. The Hoosiers start the

season in Tempe, Ariz., against the Bradley Braves in the Kajikawa Classic on Friday. After the tournament, IU will have plenty of opportunities during the season to earn national recognition. According to the USA Today preseason Top 25 poll, IU is scheduled to face five of the top-ranked teams in the nation. The first of those teams on IU’s schedule, the University of Florida, is currently No. 4 and received six firstplace votes. The Hoosiers will travel to Gainesville, Fla. to square off with the Gators in the Lipton Invitational Feb. 21. Senior infielder Shelby Gogreve said she has high hopes for this year’s team.

New quarterback eager to prove himself as Hoosier A fresh coat of snow blanketed the field at Memorial Stadium. It was better suited for a snowball fight than a football game. Inside the stadium sat Zander Diamont, the Los Angeles native who left behind beaches and boardwalks to play football more than 2,000 miles away in Bloomington. The three-star quarterback prospect said he always wanted to do something different for college. Diamont, an experienced snowboarder, said the weather in Indiana was irrelevant in the decisionmaking process. “I wanted that Big Ten college, university pride,” he said. “I wanted all that.” Diamont said he felt the presence of those traits at IU when he arrived in Bloomington on a visit, and he knew it was where he wanted to be. He said the distance from home won’t be a problem for him, adding that he’s not really a “homesick kind of guy.” The recently-enrolled freshman found reassurance in the move from California to Indiana from IU sophomore quarterback Nate Sudfeld, a native of Modesto, Calif. Diamont said he frequently talks with Sudfeld, who told him that he will adjust to the

weather in the Midwest. “I’ll have to grow accustomed to throwing in the cold a little bit,” Diamont said. “That’ll be new, but it shouldn’t be a problem.” By enrolling at IU, he joined an already cluttered quarterback competition. Sudfeld and redshirt sophomore Tre Roberson split time under center in 2013. IU Coach Kevin Wilson announced Jan. 15 that junior quarterback Cameron Coffman, who started for the Hoosiers in 2012 after Roberson suffered a season-ending knee injury, will transfer from IU. With Coffman out of the picture for the Hoosiers’ 2014 season, Diamont could be in the running for IU’s thirdstring quarterback, or he could take a redshirt season because of the depth in front of him. “It’s not my call,” he said, “and I’m not looking to make the call.” He said the decision is up to the coaching staff but that his ability to gain weight could affect the outcome. Listed at 6-foot-2 and 175 pounds by national recruiting websites, Diamont said he played at 168 pounds during his senior season but is SEE FOOTBALL, PAGE 12

Wagner. “We’ve added more talent,” Gardner said. “Also, some of the younger players who might have struggled last year are going to produce a little better in their second seasons. We are getting better every year.” Despite losing one of the most productive hitters in the lineup, Gardner said she believes the adversity the team faced last year will ultimately lead to more team success in the future. “When you face adversity, you have to be able to overcome it,” she said. “We faced a lot of injuries, which you have to work to overcome as a team. “No matter what happened, the team kept coming back.”

“We aren’t the same team that we were last year. We are coming back with a little bit of vengeance, and we are going to turn a lot of heads.” Meaghan Murphy, senior pitcher

Murphy said team unity will be a key to its success throughout the season. “A key thing that we learned last year is that staying together is vital for team success,” Murphy said. “Even when things don’t go how we want them to, in terms of winning and losing, the team needs to stay together in order to be successful.”

“The main goal of our team is to win the Big Ten title and to earn an NCAA tournament berth,” Gogreve said. The Big Ten boasts two of the top 10 teams in the nation, including No. 5 Michigan and No. 9 Nebraska, who IU will face on the road this season. The Hoosiers face the task of replacing former infielder Amanda Wagner, who not only led the team in hits, doubles and total bases but also had the fourth-highest batting average in the Big Ten. IU Coach Michelle Gardner said the continued improvement of the young players on the roster, including four freshmen, is going to help fill the void left by

The IU women’s tennis team journeyed to South Bend Sunday for a matchup with No. 23 Notre Dame, eventually falling by a narrow 4-3 margin. Five of the six singles matches on the day came down to a third-set tiebreaker, prompting IU Coach Lin Loring to call it one of the closest matches he had been a part of. Sitting at No. 39 in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association’s national rankings entering the match, IU dropped its first match of the season after winning the first four of its dual play schedule. The Hoosiers took an early lead, collecting a point at the No. 2 doubles position before Notre Dame roared back with a 3-1 lead via victories at No. 5, No. 6 and No. 3 singles. After IU tied the score at 3-3 by winning both the No. 1 and No. 4 positions, Notre Dame’s Quinn Gleason defeated Carolyn Chupa to seal the victory for the Fighting Irish. IU Coach Lin Loring said the result was disappointing given his team’s performance. “This one will hurt for a while,” he said. “It was the best we played all year. We put ourselves in a position to win on several courts and couldn’t finish.” IU will attempt to regain its winning ways with a double-header Saturday when it will welcome Miami (Ohio) and Butler to Bloomington.

Âť COURT

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7 capricious and do not bear a fair relationship to the intended purpose of the rules ...� The same court characterized the IHSAA’s defense as frivolous, unreasonable and groundless. The court system eventually allowed Schafer to take to the court that month, almost one year after the sinus problems benched him. He still remembers that first time back on the basketball court. Teammates drowned him in a sea of high-fives as he made his way through the locker room. As the second quarter neared its end, Schafer

to focus on basketball in high school, and eventually worked his way onto the highly competitive varsity team. Former Andrean Coach Bob Buscher remembers coaching Schafer, as he remembers many of the hundreds of students he has coached in his 36 years. “For me, and not everyone might agree, Shane worked hard,� Buscher said. “He was a hard worker. He did what I asked him to do. He was coachable on the court.� Andrean, a Catholic high school, attracted some of the best talent from the region. Students planned their Friday and Saturday nights around basketball games, which often drew a full house that always included Schafer’s parents. A certain aura surrounded the season. “It’s Indiana basketball,� Schafer said. “This is everything Hoosier hysteria stands for. These teams and what it means to Indiana to have a good basketball team and play good basketball is something else. It’s a brotherhood.� *

hit a half-court shot. The thought of that day still makes him smile. “I felt like I could be me again,� Schafer said. “I felt like I was in high school again.� The IHSAA would again try to bar Schafer from playing — this time during the 1992-93 school year — appealing up to the Indiana Supreme Court, which chose to not hear the case. Schafer would be allowed to play his senior year — though he fell and broke his hand midway through that season, dashing his dreams of senior year glory. And though Schafer was again off the court, the legal fees absorbed by Shane’s uncle Timothy had grown to the tens of thousands. The Schafers requested a hearing, wanting the IHSAA to foot the bill. More courts would see the case over legal fees and its appeals for years to come. Schafer had no idea the final ruling on those damages was still 20 years away. *

or the Schafers, basketball is a family affair. Uncle Timothy played on IU’s freshman team back when there was more than just the single collegiate team. His younger cousins and brother played, too. Cousin Todd Schafer was the state’s leading scorer in high school basketball during the 2002-03 season. Schafer started sports young. The number 22 has covered his chest since he was 12-years-old. He chose

ven now, at 39-years-old, Schafer can’t explain why the IHSAA continued to litigate against him time and time again. Current IHSAA Commissioner Bobby Cox inherited the case from commissioners past. In a recent interview, he said the motive behind the decades of appeals was not the question of Schafer’s eligibility. Rules were rules. “When we make decisions,� Cox said, “we have a duty and an obligation to uphold our rules.� And as a private organization with a voluntary memberships, Cox pointed out, the IHSAA had every right to appeal for as long as it did. The Schafer’s case over legal fees made its way through a few different judges and courts before a special judge ordered the IHSAA to pay $86,231 to the family in 2003. The IHSAA appealed the ruling, and in 2009, that appeal was denied. Schafer’s uncle kept him in the loop with each new legal motion. Schafer’s cousins, pre-teens when the case began, worked on the case in recent years as members of the family law firm. “It just didn’t make sense, that they would spend all that money and resources to file appeal after appeal,� Shane Schafer said. The IHSAA appealed yet again. Then, barely two months ago, Randall Shepard — former chief justice on the Indiana Supreme Court — handed down a ruling for the Court of Appeals.

“We are not the first appellate court to take notice of the IHSAA’s arbitrary and capricious decisionmaking toward the Schafers,� Shepard wrote. “Such decision-making can result in substantial harm to the individual student-athletes the rules are intended to serve.� The court sided with the Schafers and again ordered the IHSAA to pay the family, this time $139,663. Finally, the case that wouldn’t end appeared to wrapping up, though the IHSAA still had the option to appeal to the Indiana Supreme Court. The case, Schafer holds, was a power struggle all along. Judge Kickbush in 1992 in the Jasper Circuit Court said the IHSAA’s conduct in the litigation “degenerated to a goal to determine who would own the ship and who would paddle the oars.� A September 2009 trial court opinion disapproved of the IHSAA tactics used in Schafer’s and other court cases, including suggestions that the organization was motivated to run up fees and expenses to warn parent and students against challenging a ruling. In the most recent ruling in December 2013, an appellate court opinion cited another suit brought against the IHSAA. It noted, “The importance of this case...lies in the fact that students learn at the hands of the IHSAA some of their early lessons about what constitutes fair play in decision making. Unfortunately, students acquainted with the IHSAA’s conduct in this case might reasonable conclude that winning at all costs is more important than fair play.�

“We fought that ďŹ ght, and now that ďŹ ght’s in my lap, and I’ve determined it’s time to end this ďŹ ght. It’s time to move on with life.â€? Bobby Cox, current IHSAA commissioner

Though not immediately sure after the December ruling, the IHSAA has decided it will not appeal the case to the Indiana Supreme Court, said current Commissioner Bobby Cox. “We fought that fight, and now that fight’s in my lap, and I’ve determined it’s time to end this fight,� Cox said. “It’s time to move on with life.� *

“I choose to play when I want to play,� Schafer said, “and no one can tell me when I can’t.� Shane Schafer, former Andrean basketball player

said, he wants them free of the burden and fear he had in school. Schafer now lives in Valparaiso, just across the lake from his uncle Timothy. He has worked at the Porter County Adult Probation Office since he graduated from Ball State University and now works as a probation officer. It’s not enough, though, given the time his family has poured into the case. He knows most families wouldn’t have been able to weather the storm. “They’ve done this to other kids in the region,� Schafer said. “I’m just lucky I had an uncle that’s a lawyer. Their families can’t afford the type of legal bills this type of thing would cost.� Why did they so feverishly pursue his case? He’ll never have an answer. “You sit here and think, jeez, they could at least write an apology letter.� He’ll always wonder, what if? What if he had play for all of his junior year? What if his family was never burdened by the case? It’s thoughts like those he can still escape on the basketball court, a place he hopes to frequent until his body tells him otherwise. Schafer has kept up his skills, playing regularly since his high school days. “I choose to play when I want to play,� Schafer said, “and no one can tell me when I can’t.� He and his cousins find time for H-O-R-S-E and two-on-two in the backyard. At the Wheeler High School Field House in Valparaiso, Schafer dons his No. 22 jersey to compete in a weekend league and play pick-up games on weekdays. Even on vacations, after the children are asleep and the wife is relaxing, Schafer ventures out to find a court. The crowds are gone. The cheering exists now only in memory. But he still thirsts for the win. Stepping on the court, the old instinct of the game takes over. Beads of sweat form along his forehead. His heartbeat quickens. Dribbling the ball, he looks for his next move. Is the lane clear? Is there enough space to shoot the three? The glance toward the new. The shot. He watches and waits.

Water polo team goes undefeated at invitational BY JAYLEN JOHNSON jayljohn@indiana.edu

The Hoosier water polo team’s offense has been almost unstoppable, the team scoring at least 10 goals in all six games played this year. “Our team is playing very well together and the chemistry is evident in some of the plays we executed this weekend,� junior utility player Rebecca Gerrity said. The No. 13 Hoosiers returned home to Bloomington with a 6-0 record after four wins in Providence, R.I. It is the best start to an IU season since 1998, when the team won five of their opening six games. IU took on Brown first and won easily, 17-6. The Hoosiers never looked back after senior attacker Shae Fournier scored a goal on IU’s first possession. At halftime, IU led 10-2. Brown committed three turnovers to start the third quarter as each possession ended in a steal by junior attacker Colleen McNaught. She ended the match with five assists, which was tied for the IU record. This is the second time McNaught has recorded five assists in a game, the first being a 2012 game against Santa Clara. Sophomore center Candyce Schroder finished the match with a career-high four goals, an assist and a steal, making this the second time in three games she has scored at least three goals in a match. Sophomore goalkeeper Jessica Gaudreault finished with 8 saves. The Hoosiers played No. 19 Hartwick next. IU beat their conference foe by a score of 11-5. At halftime the Hoosiers led 7-0. Once again, Fournier scored first for the Hoosiers. She finished with four goals in four attempted shots,

Vonleh wins seventh Big Ten conference honor FROM IDS REPORTS

Noah Vonleh collected his seventh Big Ten Freshman of the Week honor after his performances last week, the conference announced Monday. The forward and Haverhill, Mass., native averaged 8.5 points and 7.5 rebounds per game in the Hoosiers’ two games — a loss at Nebraska and a win against then-No. 10 Michigan — last week.

while adding four steals. McNaught recorded her 100th assist for the Hoosiers. Gaudreault finished with 13 saves which ties her career high she set last year against Long Beach State. “Tomorrow we expect to come out and win again and prove that we are the best team in East,� senior defender Amanda Redfern said. Wagner was the third opponent the Hoosiers faced in the Brown Invitational. IU easily took care of Wagner, overcoming a sloppy start to win 15-5. Fournier scored the Hoosiers’ first goal for the third consecutive game. IU was up 8-4 at the half after a second goal scored by Gerrity. She scored four goals, with senior attacker Allison Campbell adding three goals. Gaudreault recorded 11 saves on 23 shot attempts. Finally, the Hoosiers played No. 20 Pacific and won 15-9. Campbell made her first start of the season, replacing junior utility player Shelby Taylor. The Tigers scored first and the game remained tight, with IU leading 6-4 at halftime. Campbell scored five goals, the fifth time in her career she has done so, while Taylor scored three goals. McNaught added three assists while Gaudreault saved five Tiger shots. IU Assistant Coach Zach White said he was pleased with IU’s performance throughout the weekend and will expect more from the team going forward. “Bottom line, we had a successful weekend and won,� White said. “Good news is we still have a lot of room for improvement with this team, and that bodes well for the end of the season.�

currently down to 163. He said his goal is to add 10 to 15 pounds in the offseason in order to be competitive as a quarterback at the collegiate level. This isn’t the first time IU Coach Kevin Wilson has coached a quarterback in Bloomington who needed to gain weight in order to play in college. Wilson said Roberson weighed 163 pounds when he arrived at camp. Wilson said the Hoosiers are getting a good player, even though Diamont will have to get bigger and stronger to play in the Big Ten. “He’s got a big arm, (he) can throw it,� Wilson said, adding that Diamont can “move a little bit.� Despite being buried in IU’s depth chart behind two proven quarterbacks, Diamont said he can worry about only himself. “If you get caught up in the day-to-day of what the other guy next to you is doing ... then you’re going to lose yourself in that and it’s going to hurt you,� he said. “I think just focusing on what you do and kind of taking care of what you can control is the way to handle it.� Despite the return of IU’s

Vonleh’s 11.2 points per game in Big Ten play are the highest among all conference freshmen, and his 9.2 rebounds per game are the most among all Big Ten players. His seven Freshman of the Week awards are the second-most in a season since the Big Ten began the honor, trailing Ohio State’s Jared Sullinger’s 11 such awards in the 2010-11 season. — Alden Woods

quarterback tandem, which led to the Hoosiers being No. 17 in the nation in passing yards per game, Wilson said it was important for IU to sign Diamont. “Even though we’ve had some offensive success ... it’s kind of nice to have these guys here,� Wilson said on Jan. 9 when the team introduced its six mid-year enrollees, all of whom play on the offensive side of the ball. The Hoosiers didn’t sign a quarterback last year, creating a need for IU to restock on quarterback talent for the future. By the time Sudfeld and Roberson exhaust their eligibility, Diamont will be a rising junior with two years of experience in the Hoosier program. In the meantime, he said he isn’t discouraged by the competition, and he believes it will bring out the best in him. “I think I can play with anybody,� Diamont said. “Cam Newton can walk in the room and I’m gonna be like ‘I can play with Cam Newton,’ regardless of whether or not I can. That’s just my mentality and I think that I take that in every aspect of my life.� Follow reporter Andy Wittry on Twitter @AndyWittry.
