Kenny Childers’ has played music for more than two decades in Bloomington. He is currently collaborating with indie-pop duo Lily & Madeleine for their second album and finishing recording a new album for his band, Gentleman Caller.

Bloomington’s Kenny Childers has performed for 23 years, singing about love and loss BY LYNDSAY JONES jonesly@indiana.edu

Kenny Childers said he never doubted music would be some part of his life. When he’s not distributing IUanyWare software for University Information Technology Services, Childers fronts the local alternative rock band Gentleman Caller. “I was drawn to music at an early age, in kind of an obsessive way,” Childers said. “I would listen to the radio as a kid, and if I heard a song I liked, then that was it. That’s all I would listen to, over and over.” Childers has been involved with music professionally for 23 years, occupying various roles in local bands such as Stranded at the Drive-In, Velo Deluxe and Mysteries of Life. A fifth album for Gentleman Caller is expected to release at the end of the summer. The album will precede a tour,

something Childers said he doesn’t enjoy. “I don’t like crowded spaces,” he said. “I like being on stage, I like it when we’re driving. But that whole getting to a place and waiting to play, and the talking and the feeling like I have to be turned on is kind of exhausting. I’m kind of a loud introvert.” Childers plays guitar and bass in addition to being a lead vocalist. Long-time friend David England said Childers is as proficient a lyricist as he is a musician. “He writes songs constantly,” England said. “He has enough songs to make at least two albums right now.” He said Childers’ reputation as a lyricist allows the musician to collaborate with local artists Heidi Gluk and duo Lily & Madeleine. Childers said he is also helping England write a record of his own. “He’s just all over the place,” England said. Childers’ lyrics might derive some

writing — some other weirdos that I connected with, and we helped push each other’s writing.” When he’s not in the studio or at UITS, Childers raises his two children. He has a 4-year-old daughter and an 11-year-old son. “I don’t really have time for anything else,” Childers said. Though Childers agreed Gentleman Caller has the potential to make it big, he said it’s not something he thinks about. “It’s not something I dwell on,” Childers said. “It’s not a healthy way to think, for me.” Childers said his goal is to continue making music and writing lyrics, regardless of the outcome. “I kind of realized it’s not a choice for me,” he said. “It’s what makes me happy. It’s the thing I’m doing where I feel most like myself.”

of their power from how personal they are, England said. Gentleman Caller’s third album, “Wake,” contains lyrics expressing the grief Childers felt at the loss of his daughter, Roxy, at 37 weeks. “He’s got some demons,” England said. “If you want to get down there with him, they’re in his songs.” Childers said his lyrics are part of his therapy, and his approach to mental health. “I guess you pick up baggage in life as you go sometimes, so writing through those things makes those things matter,” Childers said. “It gives them a place. I guess songs are a little bit like exorcisms for me.” Childers said his hands, often covered in ink, are a testament to his love for words. So is his English degree from IU that he received in 1996. “I was an English major because I liked books and writing,” Childers said. “I think it helped because I met a lot of cool people through creative

Despite weather, no closing Wednesday BY TORI FATER vrfater@indiana.edu

IU-Bloomington operations continued as scheduled Wednesday despite a “watch” travel advisory issued by Monroe County Emergency Management and a winter storm warning issued for central Indiana. A watch advisory, according to the Indiana Department of Homeland Security website, means travel conditions threaten the safety of the public. The Department of Homeland Security recommended only essential travel, meaning travel to and from work or in emergency situations, and recommended emergency action plans should be implemented by schools, government agencies and other organizations. IU spokesman Mark Land said he and Provost Lauren Robel spoke with members of the facilities’ staff and the human resources department early Wednesday morning. Based on that input, Robel decided not to cancel classes or close campus. “It stopped snowing around midnight or so,” Land said. “Our

guys had all night to work on it, and they had really done a nice job by five o’clock this morning.” He said the group considered the weather forecast and road conditions and received input from Emergency Management as well. “We get input on what the road conditions are in the city, what other local governmental agencies are doing,” he said. “Ultimately it’s the provost’s decision, but she gets a lot of input before she makes it.” Monroe County has been under a watch advisory two other days in 2014 — both during the so-called polar vortex in early January. IU President Michael McRobbie closed all IU campuses during the polar vortex. According to protect. iu.edu, IU-Bloomington was closed 9 p.m. Jan. 5 to 5 p.m. Jan. 7, with only essential personnel required to report to campus. Land said it was simpler to close campus at that time than it would be when classes were in session, because there were few campus events scheduled, and many IU employees and students had not yet returned to campus. He said the decision to close campus also took into account the

If classes were canceled, Land said, students and faculty would receive an announcement from IU Notify. Yesterday, when there was no change in the status of campus operations, IU Communications announced on Twitter that campus would remain open and

classes would meet as scheduled. Monroe County was downgraded to “advisory,” the lowest local travel advisory status, at 11:56 a.m. Wednesday. An advisory status means routine travel may be restricted or hazardous in certain areas. “There’s a lot of discussion,” Land said. “Obviously we don’t want to put anybody at risk, but at the same time we have a responsibility to educate students.” Follow reporter Tori Fater on Twitter @vrfater.

The Indiana State House and Senate passed separate bills Jan. 30 that would reform the business personal property tax. Supporters argue reform will help develop small businesses, but fears about lost revenue have sparked congressional debates. The business personal property tax requires that businesses pay a tax on any equipment used to produce income or hold investment. The tax produces about $1 billion in revenue a year. Without the tax, local governments will have to deal with lost income. Local governments would lose about $700 million, $150 million of which would come from school districts and about $24 million of which would come from libraries. The Senate’s bill, known as SB 1, would exempt small businesses with less than $25,000 of personal property from paying the tax. The House bill, HB 1001, would give counties the option to exempt new equipment from the tax while still taxing any old equipment in use. The key difference between the two bills is that SB 1 is a mandate whereas HB 1001 is a countyby-county option. After passing, the Senate bill was referred to the House for review, and the House bill was referred to the Senate. HB 1001 had its first reading in the Senate on Tuesday and was referred to the Tax and Fiscal Policy committee. Rep. Eric Turner, R-Cicero, who authored HB 1001, said he believes the House’s approach will do more good than harm despite lost revenue. “Well, you could argue you can’t take something away that you never had,” he said. “Let’s say a county elects to do this and it brings in new investment to that county. If you assume that that new investment would not have come otherwise, then the county would not be losing anything.” But school and local government officials have expressed concern about the potential losses in funding. Turner argues the cut could lead to a decrease in unemployment rates as businesses expand. He said this could produce new real estate and get more children into schools, which would eventually generate more revenue from the state. Troy Phelps, business adviser at Bloomington’s Small Business Development Center, shares a similar point of view. “Well, obviously any kind of tax cut that will help small businesses is a really good thing if you keep in mind that small businesses really are what drive the economy any time the economy tanks, so to speak,” he said. “Helping small businesses to survive is a good investment of taxpayer money. But, of course, I work for small businesses all day.” Turner said he believes giving counties the option of whether or not to cut the tax is necessary to prevent financial damage. If the county does not think the potential economic growth will outweigh the revenue losses, he said, it can continue to tax businesses’ equipment through the personal property tax. However, neither Turner nor Phelps thinks the counties will decide the latter. “I guess what I’m trying to say is that I’m not convinced that just because we have a tax cut for small businesses that it has to be made up dollar-for-dollar on the other side of the fence,” Phelps said. “I think the overall impact will make up for it.”

Students explore majors at fair BY ANNA HYZY akhyzy@indiana.edu

Students without a major had some help weighing their options at IU’s first Majors and More Fair Wednesday. From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., all of IU’s schools had representatives stuffed inside Alumni Hall in the Indiana Memorial Union. “Our goal was to put all the programs together in one place to help students find their way,” said Alice Dobie-Galuska, a University Division academic advisor who helped coordinate the event. The College of Arts and Sciences, containing a vast majority of IU’s majors, was divided into departments at the fair. Professors, faculty members and students, in some cases, represented each department. “This is an event that I think could be really awesome,” said Alexa Yarnelle, senior assistant director of student services at the CDC. She stressed the importance of the section of the fair which offered students service and internship information. “We’re trying to help students consider all the possibilities that are available to them at IU to make the most informed decision possible about their major,” Yarnelle said. Freshman Emily Farrel braved the weather looking to gather information about a journalism degree. But she said she was also interested in the School of Public and Environmental

Affair’s law and public policy program. She said she isn’t sure where she’ll be headed. “I wanna be able to get a job and go to law school if I choose,” Farrel said. Establishing connections between students’ majors and the careers they want in the future was Andrea White’s strategy for helping attendees. A career advisor and assistant director at the CDC, White said the decisionmaking process can be harder without the right information. Both University Division and the CDC said they plan on making the Majors and More Fair an annual event. Dobie-Galuska said students who aren’t sure of the career path they want to take should ask for help choosing a major they can stay interested in. “One that they’re gonna love, one that they’re gonna be motivated to study,” she said.

Hutton career program to form student group BY ANNA HYZY akhyzy@indiana.edu

Hutton Honors College is in the process of adding another career service to campus. Nick Miller, an academic and career adviser at Hutton, leads the effort to begin career programming and services through the honors college. “With Hutton, we’re always trying to have more oneon-one interaction,” he said. “Rather than working as one of 40,000 students, you work as one of 4,000.” A team of six members will work with Miller to start the career programming. Five will be part of a student group, and the sixth will be a Hutton faculty member. Student member applications are due next Tuesday. Miller said he plans to form the group by the end of February, and programming is expected to start by the semester’s end. Hutton plans to work with existing career services offices to supplement honors students with exclusive

opportunities, Miller said. Miller, who began work in his newly-created position in December 2013. Plans for honors career programming began sometime last year. Miller said he’s noticed a heightened focus on campus about careers. Once programming begins at Hutton, the honors college will work with other career services on campus through monthly counsel meetings. Miller said he hopes he can also contact alumni to meet with honors students. “To me, alumni and recruitment go hand in hand,” he said. Although Miller will work closely with the five students on his committee, he said he hopes all honors students feel they can contribute and that his door is always open to them. “I’m just one of a thousand people shouting and waving, looking for feedback,” he said.

It’s Friday night, and a student takes his 12th shot of vodka. It’s been a long night. He waves to his friends, grabs a final beer and heads toward his car. He is surrounded by people, but no one takes away his keys. This is just one of several dangerous scenarios that Step UP! IU aims to prevent, according to junior and Culture of Care co-chair Rachel Green. “The goal is to encourage Hoosiers to have the courage to care, and the courage to intervene on behalf of a friend or stranger,” Green said. Step UP!, part of IU’s Culture of Care program, is an organization that promotes student-to-student aid in the areas of alcohol abuse, drug use, mental health awareness, sexual well-being and respect. Last school year, IU officially implemented Step UP!’s bystander intervention training. Each intervention training session is 90 minutes long and uses real-life scenarios to teach intervention strategies, according to the Culture of Care website. Step UP! has trained 1,600 students from campus organizations, residence halls, fraternities, sororities and academic classes. “Participants were engaged with the material, and it struck a chord,” said Andy Braden, sophomore and Culture of Care cochair. “These are issues and situations we witness every day, and most of us want to do something to help. However, for various reasons, we question ourselves.” Students cited drinking as the most prominent issue on IU’s campus in the 2011 campus-wide survey to define issues for the program to address. “We talk about why they see drinking more often than other issues,” said Leslie Fasone, doctoral student and program coordinator.

“Maybe it’s because they’re behind closed doors, and it’s harder to identify the red flags.” Fasone said tragic deaths like Rachel Fiege’s send a strong message about the importance of calling 911 when someone hits their head or is showing signs of alcohol poisoning. “I do know Step UP! has been formed out of a number of set incidents that we’ve dealt with over the years,” Fasone said. “One of the things we’ve realized is that, in those situations, could someone have intervened?” After the training, 91.1 percent of participants said they could successfully intervene in a situation that may be harmful to themselves and others, according to a survey issued after the course. “Given the numbers of students who have expressed concern about issues on campus, and the numbers of students indicating that many of these issues could be eliminated or alleviated if someone would have intervened, it is vital that students participate in the Step UP! training program,” Green said. “Without it, the bystander effect is overwhelmingly powerful on our campus and in our society.” Green said Culture of Care organized a #spreadthelove campaign for next week to bring some positivity to students on Valentine’s Day. Representatives will be located around campus handing out treats to students who tweet nice things about themselves or others with the hashtag. “I think more people might be calling for help than in the past,” Fasone said. “I can’t say that its definite. But anecdotally, I’ve heard that they’ve reached out more for help, and I think that’s a good thing. The idea of students helping students is catching on, it’s definitely catching on.”

Winter storm causes crashes FROM IDS REPORTS

The Bloomington District of the Indiana State Police reported several crashes Tuesday and Wednesday following heavy snowfall in the area. Between 3 p.m. Tuesday and 3 p.m. Wednesday, Bloomington troopers responded to seven property damage crashes, one personal injury crash, four slide-offs and 24 disabled motorists, according to the Indiana State Police. No serious or lifethreatening injuries were reported. Monroe County issued a “watch” travel advisory at about 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, with only essential travel recommended. The watch was lifted shortly after noon Wednesday, and the travel level was changed to “advisory,” which means some areas might have been hazardous. Most crashes were caused by people driving too fast for the weather conditions, police said.

National testing organization ACT reported only about 16 percent of test-takers scored well in math and science areas and also expressed interest in entering into a science, technology, engineering or mathematics field of study. Nine percent of students who took the ACT tested well in the skills needed to succeed in STEM fields but did not express interest in pursuing a career in that area, according to

Twenty-three percent of test-takers expressed interest in a career related to STEM, but did not test well in those areas. “The good news is that student interest in STEM is high overall,” said Jon Erickson, ACT president of education and career solutions, in a press release. “The bad news is that a sizable number of students may not be connecting the dots between their innate interests

and a potential STEM-related career.” An October 2013 report from Bayer said that half of Fortune 100 companies struggle to find four-year STEM degree holders to fill new positions. Most companies believe this is the result of a shortage of qualified candidates. About half of 2013 ACT test-takers were prepared to enter into college level mathematics or science courses, the release said. “Nothing is more costly

With just a few days until the filing deadline for the primary election, some county offices remain uncontested or have not had any candidates express interest in running. “It’s starting to fill in,” Monroe County election supervisor Ruth Hickman said. “I still have some holes, though.” The deadline at noon Friday is for candidates who wish to appear on the May 6 party primary ballots. Though at least one Republican and one Democrat have declared their intentions to run for many offices, there are other offices that might not receive any filing before the deadline. The Washington and Polk township boards, for example, have not had any candidates express interest, according to documents obtained from the Monroe County Clerk’s office Tuesday. Washington Township is north of Bloomington, including the area around Oliver Winery. Polk Township is south of Lake Monroe. For other offices, only one party has had candidates express interest. Three Democrats have filed for the county sheriff office, but no Republicans. At the state level, there

are still a few vacancies in filings, but those should be filled by the deadline, said Trent Deckard, co-director of the Indiana Election Division. “There’s been a steady uptick as filing has gone on that definitely lends itself to heightened interest in the campaign,” Deckard said. “It’s pretty average for a year, but I would say for a non-presidential year it’s definitely a little busier than average.” In this election cycle, all state and U.S. House of Representatives seats are up for reelection, as well as a number of state and county offices, including secretary of state, county clerk, county prosecuting attorney, sheriff and county council members, among others. After the primary, political parties are allowed to put forward names for these offices on the November general election ballot, though Hickman said she prefers having candidates run in the primary. “It’s always nice to have a full ballot,” she said. “It shows people at least have some interest in representing and working with their county and community.” Follow reporter Michael Auslen on Twitter @MichaelAuslen.

the expense of the 99 percent. Rather, it’s because they “work harder”. In other words, the rest of us are just a bunch of haters that need to found our own multibillion dollar industries.

At this point, it’s hard to imagine responding to close-minded bigots would do anybody much good. After all, the only real winners seem to be the ones who yell the loudest. But no matter how loudly the people who disagreed with the Coca-Cola advertisement — featuring multiple languages and gay people — during the Super Bowl yell, they will never be right. The ad in question features people of different ethnicities singing “America the Beautiful” in numerous languages, English only being one of them. It also features two men who appear to be loving fathers to a young daughter, the three of them having fun at a skating rink. First things first. This whole mentality of “We speak English in America, damn it” needs to go away. Because, actually, we speak many languages. In fact, more than 37 million Americans older than the age of five speak Spanish at home. And 2.8 million of those 37 million aren’t even Latino. Another 2.8 million Americans speak Chinese at home, 2.2 million speak Hindi, Urdu or other Indic languages and 2.1 million speak French. In short, we don’t just speak English in America, damn it. This is one of the many reasons English is not our national language. We aren’t just English speakers, nor should we settle to only speak English. In a world that progresses and becomes smaller in the time it used to take to cross oceans by ship, our scope becomes more limited by only possessing the ability of speaking one language. It only shows how ignorant and close-minded Americans are to foreign languages when we get up in arms about, of all things, a harmless Coca-Cola advertisement. Now, on to the second point of contention. It’s no surprise people are upset because of the depiction of a seemingly homosexual couple, let alone a homosexual couple looking happy with a daughter. A somewhat similar ad from Amazon featured a man and woman bonding while their husbands were off getting them drinks. The intention was sweet, but it came off as playing homosexuality as a punch line. In this Super Bowl Coca-Cola ad, we simply have two men and a young girl enjoying themselves. There’s no giant, neon sign that says, “Here’s two gay men raising a daughter. Look at us pushing our gay agenda on the young minds of America.” They’re not unstitching the fabric of America. They aren’t here to ruin the sanctity of your marriage. They’re just here for the skating and the CocaCola. So remember, kids. You have to keep your eyes and your mind open to see that America is beautiful, regardless of what the naysayers believe. — wdmcdona@indiana.edu

WE SAY: Universities put money ﬁrst, fail student-athletes Being a college athlete is hard. Intense workouts, long road trips and high pressure to perform are just a few of the things student-athletes are forced to deal with in addition to their studies. Some argue that because college athletes work so hard and bring in revenue for their school, they should be paid for their work. But it isn’t work. Athletics are an extracurricular activity as part of school. Although being an athlete may seem like a job, it isn’t until someone reaches the professional level — something that is not at all guaranteed to happen. Which brings up another point. Many universities are failing their student-athletes academically by letting them coast through GPA-boosting but academically unbeneficial coursework. Sometimes these classes aren’t even real. A CNN article revealed student-athletes at the University of North Carolina were taking fake

college classes to stay eligible. CNN began its investigation when UNC researcher Mary Willingham found some student-athletes were reading at an elementary school level and “could not even read well enough to follow news coverage about themselves,” the article said. It should be noted most of these student-athletes at UNC played football or basketball, the two most revenue-generating college sports. This isn’t a coincidence. These athletes are valued most because of the obscene amount of money they bring in for their universities. With this in mind, let’s return to the argument about college basketball and football players being paid. Student-athletes are paid, in a way, for all the money they make for their school. This isn’t true for all college sports. But in the case of popular ones like football and

basketball, many of these players receive full-ride scholarships. The ones that are not granted full-rides are still given scholarships, and these are quite substantial. A college education is arguably the greatest payment. It should provide security for the future. But in the case of student-athletes, this is not necessarily true. Student-athletes taking cushy — or in the case of UNC, fake — classes are not being prepared for the world after sports like they deserve to be. A person whom cannot even read at a middle school level upon graduating college is not prepared for the real world. Many of these studentathletes expect to have a career in the pros, where a quality education is not required. But this isn’t likely to happen. According to one study by Business Insider, 1.7 percent of college football players make it to the NFL, and only 1.2 percent of college

men’s basketball players make it to the NBA. IU recently conducted a study that revealed playing Division I athletics could have an adverse effect on someone’s mental and physical health later in life, according to an article in the Herald-Times. The most important argument here is not about paying or not paying college athletes. It’s about colleges failing the athletes they supposedly value so much. The Editorial Board calls for a reevaluation of college athletics. College sports are not jobs, so universities need to stop treating them like jobs. An education comes first. Ironically, the institutions that are supposed to educate us receive much of their funding from the very student-athletes they are not educating sufficiently.

THE JW FOSTER CHILD

Dorm sweet dorm As a freshman, I have approximately three months left of dorm life. I encourage the students of IU to rethink leaving the dorms so swiftly and start taking advantage of this special experience that only comes around once in a lifetime. I came into the experience a bit uneasy after hearing horror stories of nasty roommates with even nastier tendencies. Luckily, I have experienced no such roommate. I will miss my fellow floormates very much when we turn in our keys the start of May. The bathrooms haven’t been bad, the halls haven’t been loud and the space will always be small. So, I’ve just gotten used to it. I have grown very fond of

my little home in Foster Quad Harper. If it hadn’t decided to join a sorority, I would definitely consider doing dorm life again. That said, I’m surprised that the culture of IU typically limits dorm life to freshmen. Thirty years ago, this was hardly the case. Most students who didn’t participate in greek life chose to stay in the dorms multiple years and, on occasion, even all four years. My dad lived in Willkie Quad every year of college by choice. Although these were times when off-campus living wasn’t quite as common, it wasn’t unnatural at all to annually return to the same neighborhood, sometimes even the same dorm. I can see why that was the case. The community the dorm

provides is a special experience. It will be very hard to leave behind. I have daily conversations with our floor janitor, and we exchanged Christmas gifts. I chat about IU basketball with our building’s maintenance man and check up on a cafeteria worker’s carpal tunnel syndrome on a weekly, if not daily, basis. I know who on the floor can effectively tutor me in A200, who has the best food, the cutest clothes and who is always willing to watch a movie. It’s the time in your life to be awkwardly living with too many people, too closely, in a too-small environment. It’s part of the amazing experience that is college. The dorms have prime locations on campus, includes

staff that clean your bathrooms daily and cook moderately decent food for you. It doesn’t get much easier than that. Although I occasionally miss having my own space and definitely would never choose communal bathrooms if I had the option, I think the dorms are written off too quickly by the general student population. There is way more to appreciate. — cnmcelwa@indiana.edu

During the weekend my roommates, myself and a few friends were invited to our neighbors’ apartments for lunch and dinner. It was one of the most eye-opening and delicious experiences of my life. The neighbors who invited us are Saudi Arabian men studying abroad in the United States. We met them a few weekends ago as we were all walking back to our respective apartments. Last Friday, one of them invited us to dinner Saturday night. Not to be outdone, another invited us to lunch first. We had dates with Arabian coffee and Middle Eastern-style chicken and rice and salad with lemon juice as dressing, which became my new favorite thing. We ate on the floor from big, ornate plates. They showed us how to eat properly with our hands, how you mash a ball of hot sauce and rice and the thanks you say when you are done. That night we had a meal with lamb and vegetables that smelled like curry and tasted like stew. The best part was the conversation. I wanted to know about religious law in their country, and my roommate majoring in history wanted to know about the wars their brothers had died in. Several had lost family to sieges and bombs. They were open and honest, without judgment. They wanted to know about our culture. They wanted to know about hand gestures they’d seen Americans do, like “I know,” “come here” and “I don’t care.” It was fantastic, and the food was amazing. It wasn’t like the ethnic food on Fourth Street, which is delicious but American-ized. It was real, authentic Saudi Arabian food prepared in Saudi Arabian cookware with oldschool recipes these guys got from little Middle Eastern grandmothers. I’ve always appreciated the diversity on IU’s campus, but I’d never had a chance to really experience it first-hand. As students, we are always told to accept each other. It’s difficult when students gravitate toward people from their own cultures and close themselves off to others. I’d always heard you learn so much when you are open to new people and ways of thinking, but I’d never been able to figure out how to do so here on campus. I think I had my misgivings my about Middle Eastern classmates — even though I knew news we get about the war on terror is not exactly the greatest representation of Middle Eastern culture. Now, though, I happily get to tuck my prejudiced tail between my legs, and say I’ve grown and learned. I can say, from experience, amazing things can happen when you open up and accept new ideas, cultures and ways of thinking. Plus, there’s free food. — ewenning@indiana.edu Follow columnist Emma Wenninger on Twitter @EmmaWenninger.

IU recruiting class ranks No. 37 in nation IU football’s 26-man recruiting class features two four-star recruits but sits in the bottom half of the Big Ten, according to recruiting database rivals.com. IU Coach Kevin Wilson’s 2014 class ranks

Football team signs recruits BY EVAN HOOPFER ehoopfer@indiana.edu

IU football signed 26 new recruits yesterday. “We’re recruiting on paper as good as we have,” IU Coach Kevin Wilson said. “Now we have to take what’s on paper and turn it into a better product on the field.” According to recruiting database rivals.com, the class features two four-star recruits, 16 three-star recruits and eight two-star recruits. PLAYERS OF NOTE Dominique Booth 4-star wide receiver Indianapolis Wide receiver Dominique Booth, the Hoosiers’ highestrated recruit, is one of the six recruits already enrolled for the spring semester. Booth was originally committed to Tennessee. He then decommitted, citing his desire to enroll mid-year at IU. Booth is 6-foot-1 and weighs 200 pounds. Kiante Walton 3-star cornerback Columbus, Ga. Wilson said Walton’s size is very valuable — the Georgia native stands 6-feet-tall and weighs 200 pounds. He was named to the Georgia all-state team and recorded 47 tackles as a senior. Delroy Baker 3-star offensive lineman Ocala, Fla. Baker was another one of the six mid-year enrollees. Last year, the Hoosiers only took one offensive lineman because of the depth that was returning. The Hoosiers signed four offensive linemen this year, headlined by Baker. The 6-foot-6, 290-pound athlete was named the No. 31 offensive tackle in America by ESPN.com. Tegray Scales 3-star linebacker Cincinnati Scales was called “the most athletic linebacker” by the IU coaching staff. He is a 6-foot, 205-pound recruit that was named CoDefensive Player of the Year of the Southwest District. Scales was also named firstteam all-Ohio by USA Today.

Brooks emerges as offensive leader BY STUART JACKSON stuajack@indiana.edu

Freshman guard Larryn Brooks said she didn’t receive many offers from big-time colleges out of high school. So when IU Coach Curt Miller came calling and expressed interest in her, it was hard for her to say no. “I mean, he’s turned that program at Bowling Green around, and he said he was going to build this one — and I wanted to be a part of that rebuilding program,” Brooks said. The Richmond, Ky., native is having one of the most prolific seasons in IU women’s basketball history. At 16.8 points per game, she’s on pace to become IU’s all-time highest scoring freshman. Brooks had offers from Xavier, Western Kentucky, Eastern Kentucky, Miami (Fla.) and Virginia Tech, among others, according to June 2012 story in Louisville’s Courier-Journal. She chose to play for the Hoosiers because Miller recruited her aggressively. “I didn’t have too many big colleges after me,” Brooks said. “So once he came along, I was like, ‘It’s Indiana.’ They’re just a basketball state and he was really heavy on me.” As a senior at Madison Central High School, she averaged 20 points, four assists, four steals and four rebounds

per game. It earned her a spot on the Kentucky AllStar team, but she was rated as only a three-star recruit. During her time with the Kentucky All-Stars, she played in the annual Indiana-Kentucky all-star game. She said she remembers basketball being big in Kentucky going into that game. “Kentucky, they’re pretty crazy about it, but it’s nothing like here in Indiana,” she said. “They’re all about basketball, and that’s what I love most about it.” Becoming the face of a program didn’t happen overnight for Brooks. Her performance against Virginia Tech in the Big Ten/ ACC Challenge was a start, though. She scored 37 points IDS FILE PHOTO against the Hokies on Dec.

Men’s tennis battles strong early schedule BY MICHAEL HUGHES michhugh@indiana.edu

By IU Coach Randy Bloemendaal’s normally high standards, the IU men’s tennis team has struggled this season. The Hoosiers are 2-4 and sit at No. 57 in the national ranking. But a schedule with abnormally strong opponents has Bloemendaal unconcerned about his team’s record and feeling confident about its gained experience. The Hoosiers’ four losses were to teams that most Big Ten teams will not play for the entirety of their non-conference schedules.

The one home loss came at the hands of North Carolina State, currently ranked No. 32, though Bloemendaal said he believes it is a top-20 team. Bloemendaal said the experience his team gained by playing at No. 1 Virginia, No. 7 Oklahoma and No. 16 Kentucky will give invaluable experience for his team later in the season. “There was definitely a lot of thought put into what we’re doing,” Bloemendaal said. “I don’t want them to be overwhelmed by any level that they see by the time we hit March.” This relatively young Hoosiers team boasts only one senior, Dimitrije Tasic.

said. “We might see something similar as challenging, but no more.” Bloemendaal said he felt the team is on track for where he wants to be at the start of Big Ten conference play. They now know what the best teams in the country look like. “I think it’s prepared them perfectly for what they’re going to run into,” Bloemendaal said. “That’s one of the reasons why we play these tough matches early on, and the other one is to understand why you’re putting in the work, what you’re working towards and what level you need to start competing towards.”

have gotten a little bit tougher and a little more confident in what they’re trying to do on the courts,” Bloemendaal said. “I think we are a long ways ahead of where we were at the first part of January.” Not only are these young Hoosiers battling and competing with talented teams, they are doing so on the road in hostile environments. Bloemendaal called the matches at Virginia, Oklahoma and Kentucky the most challenging competition his team will face this year. “They were all difficult in different ways — but put those three together, we won’t see anything more challenging than that,” Bloemendaal

other upperclassmen who plays regularly is junior transfer Sven Lalic, who transferred from a Division II school, Armstrong Atlantic State. That leaves Tasic as the only player with significant experience playing in these high profile matches. Bloemendaal said he is aware of the effects that losing often with a young team can have. He said some players do not respond well to losing and can actually regress instead of progress. These young Hoosiers do not have this problem, Bloemendaal said. “I think each and every match we have handled a little bit better, and our young guys

Don’t get bit AMCTV.COM

The fourth season of AMC’s “The Walking Dead” returns Sunday with even more blood, brains and zombie awesomeness. In anticipation of the ﬁnal eight episodes of the season, Weekend reminisces on the show’s fallen survivors, ranking them from who we miss the most to who we’re glad ended up zombie chow. MOST MISSED

T-Dog

Hershel

The Governor Andrea

Final Appearance: Season 3, Episode 4 “Killer Within”

Final Appearance: Season 4, Episode 8 “Too Far Gone”

Why We Miss Him: Though “the Walking Dead” has always been a show where no main character is safe, the death of T-Dog shook us to the core. After two seasons as one of Rick’s right-hand men, T-Dog sacrificed himself to save Carol as the prison was overrun by walkers. T-Dog was one of the group’s most loyal and likable members. After all, it was T-Dog who attempted to rescue Merle, a hardened racist who was chained to the roof of an Atlanta building during the first season. You’ll always be sorely missed, T.

Why We Miss Him: Providing Rick and company shelter on his farm during the second season, Hershel was a former veterinarian who always provided medical assistance and wisdom in the face of a zombie apocalypse. Always a voice of reason who lived to protect his daughters and to see everyone get along, Hershel lost his life in the standoff between the Governor and Rick last fall. Imploring that both the Governor’s army and Rick’s group could coexist in the prison’s walls was wishful thinking, but it took Hershel’s optimism to keep the group afloat.

Why We Miss Him: Yes, we know, we know. A sadistic murderer shouldn’t be one of the characters we’ll miss on “the Walking Dead. But he was an amazing villain and a formidable human foe much more dangerous and menacing than any horde of hungry zombies. We always wanted to see him meet a grisly end, especially by the sword of a revengeful Michonne, but we’re still sad to see him go. The show will really have to work to terrify us like the Governor did.

Final Appearance: Season 3, Episode 16 “Welcome to the Tombs” Why We Miss Her: Andrea was a really, really great character. Then, once she was separated from the group after Hershel’s farm was overrun by walkers, Andrea got really boring. Sure, she had Michonne by her side, but Andrea herself just fell flat. Then she got all cozy with the Governor, and we were really done with her. She tried to redeem herself and help Rick take down the Governor, but she was captured and left to be killed by a zombie. Props to the show runners for surprising viewers and killing off one of the characters still alive in the comic book series. LEAST MISSED

Dale

Shane

Lori

Merle

Final Appearance: Season 2, Episode 11 “Jury, Judge, Executioner”

Final Appearance: Season 2, Episode 12 “Better Angels”

Final Appearance: Season 3, Episode 4 “Killer Within”

Final Appearance: Season 3, Episode 15 “The Sorrowful Life”

Why We Don’t Miss Him: He may have been Rick’s best friend before zombies overran the world, but that’s about the only nice thing we have to say about Shane. We realize they thought Rick was gone, but Shane didn’t waste any time moving in on Rick’s wife, Lori, and his son, Carl. Shane became the show’s antagonist during the second season, starting numerous fights and tearing the group apart on Hershel’s farm. We can’t say we were sorry to see him go when Rick killed him in self-defense, and when Carl put a bullet in him once he reanimated as a zombie.

Why We Don’t Miss Her: Not that we think everyone should be likable in the wake of a zombie apocalypse, but Lori really wore us out. This is a character who complained constantly and proclaimed the woman’s place was not out fighting the zombies. Lori then convinced her husband to kill his best friend, only to treat him like a monster afterward. We’ll admit Lori had the most unnerving and horrendous death of the whole series. We’ll never live down the birth sequence of her daughter, followed by her young son having to shoot her before she became a zombie.

Why We Don’t Miss Him: Though his brother, Daryl, is one of the best characters on “the Walking Dead,” Merle was by far the worst. A racist and misogynist, it came as no surprise when we found Merle alive and well in the Governor’s camp. Even though he eventually attempts to redeem himself by killing some of the Governor’s men before they could attack Rick’s group at the prison, Merle had already caused too much harm. We just wanted to console Daryl after he had to kill his brother in zombie form.

Why We Don’t Miss Him: Always putting others before himself, Dale was one of the group’s few members to never lose his humanity. Taking characters such as Andrea under his arm, we were beyond touched when Dale convinced her to keep living in the first season finale. Unfortunately, characters as pure as Dale don’t seem to last long on “the Walking Dead.” We can’t say we were surprised he bit it so early in the show’s existence.

“August: Osage County” MCT CAMPUS

Even Efron can’t save this ‘Awkward Moment’

“That Awkward Moment”

Starring: Zac Efron, Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan DThe best thing about “That Awkward Moment” is it teaches us all a valuable lesson that can give some of us a lot of hope. No matter how awful you are at acting, directing or screenwriting, you can still get work in Hollywood. Writer and director Tom Gormican has created one of the more worthless films of the year — and it’s only February. “That Awkward Moment”

— which is an awkward title that awkwardly has nothing to do with the movie, but was a nice piece of marketing to bring more tween girls to see the movie — is a movie built on the “Bro Code.” Jason, Daniel and Mikey all vow to stay single, live it up and have raucous, drunken sex in order to help Mikey get over his wife cheating on him. The only problem is the goons all fall in love with girls that are completely unbelievable, and each bro has to hide his relationship from his fellow bros. Jason (Zac Efron) has a cutesy affair with Ellie, played by Imogen Poots, who was apparently told to play up her disheveled Scarlett Johansson look while putting on a fake Zooey Deschanel quirkiness. The extremely un-put-together Daniel (Miles

Teller) gets with his incredibly put-together best friend Chelsea (Mackenzie Davis). Mikey (Michael B. Jordan) goes back to his wife, Vera (Jessica Lucas). All the men do shitty, misogynistic things in order to keep their relationships secret and follow the “Bro Code.” They neglect funerals, have sex in their parents’ shower during Thanksgiving and basically do anything in their power to avoid blue balls. But after the classic romcom truth-telling session, ensuing fight and sad montage, the ladies come flouncing back. No matter how unlikely the pairings would be in real life, Gormican also makes sure that black people fall in love with black people and white people fall in love with white people — a tired stereotype that is

painfully obvious throughout the film. Perhaps the biggest sin Gormican commits isn’t that his movie is all-around offensive. It’s the fact that Zac Efron didn’t offend me enough. With a trailer in which we see Efron’s naked body horizontal on the toilet in order to combat an incident with Viagra, I was very ready to immerse myself in some eye candy. But we don’t even get that. Efron is seen shirtless a few times and mid-coitus once, but if you were expecting some truly dirty Jake Gyllenhaal in “Love & Other Drugs”-esque material, you’ll have to turn to the Internet. Disappointments all around. BY SAM OSTROWSKI

Starring: Meryl Streep, Dermot Mulroney, Julia Roberts AWhen we see a movie about a family, we expect them to be a little crazy. There are the borderline psychotic Hoovers in “Little Miss Sunshine” and every family in every Tyler Perry film. But the Westons in “August: Osage County” may take the cake. Tracy Letts has written the most intricate, complex storyline I have ever tried to follow. Actually, it’s a story web. Which is perfectly fitting, considering the Weston family is deteriorating as a result of the web of lies and secrets it has been spinning for decades. It all starts when the family patriarch, Beverly Weston, played by Sam Shepard, goes missing. The family is called back to Oklahoma by his wife, Violet Weston. Violet is a chronic pillpopper battling oral cancer. But the cancer does nothing to dull her sharp tongue, a weapon her three daughters — Barbara, Ivy

and Karen — are all too familiar with. Eventually, Beverly is found dead in a lake, and it’s suspected he committed suicide. It’s at the dinner after the funeral when all the trouble truly begins and the web begins to unravel. Violet, played by the everperfect Meryl Streep, goes on a drug-fueled verbal rampage, attacking her daughters and her late husband until Barbara (Julia Roberts) lunges at her in an attempt to seize the pill bottle in her hand. The production of the film perfectly compliments the writing. Regardless of all the drama, the story is still about an unassuming family in middle America. There is a tremendous amount of natural lighting, which is to be commended. Wells’ use of shadow seems to be a metaphor for the complex personalities of the characters. If the film has a flaw, it’s the lack of an antagonist. There is no one villain in “August: Osage County.” Everyone has sinned. If one is bad, they’re all bad. As unsatisfied as the movie leaves you feeling, it’s an absolute must-see. This film is what all screenwriters should strive to create. If that’s not enough incentive, it will at least prove your family isn’t as crazy as you might think. BY LEXIA BANKS

Houndmouth will play at 9 p.m. today at the Bluebird Nightclub. Houndmouth is a collaborative folk and rock band from Albany, Ind.

Bluebird to host Houndmouth Matt Myers, vocalist and guitarist for band Houndmouth, said the band’s philosophy is to always focus on their craft. “We don’t have a lot of spectacle to distract from the music,” Myers said. The band will perform 9 p.m. today at the Bluebird Nightclub to kick off their winter tour. With a style that combines components of folk and rock, Myers said the band tells stories through their songs. “We have a lot of influences from a lot of different areas of music,” Myers said. The band will play original songs as well as covers, Myers said. He said he thinks the performance will

be fun for both the band and the audience because of the music and the environment. Myers, Katie Toupin, Zak Appleby and Shane Cody formed Houndmouth in November 2011. Myers said the band members knew each other from New Albany, Ind. Although they went to different high schools, the four were close and bonded because of their musical interests. “We’re all friends from high school,” Myers said. Houndmouth also knows about the Bluebird because of their Indiana roots. “The Bluebird is special to us,” he said. Myers and Appleby played in cover bands together for years prior to the formation of Houndmouth, according to the band’s

biography. Toupin and Myers worked together for three years as an acoustic duo. Cody and Toupin went to high school together before Cody moved away to study audio engineering. When Cody returned from New York, Myers said they started the group. Appleby joined to play bass, and Cody became the drummer. At this point, Myers said they were still looking for another strong vocalist which led them to Toupin. As the band came together, each member became equally a part of the creative process, Myers said. Each of them will sing lead at times because they do not have a specific lead singer. “Usually whoever sings

the song wrote it,” Myers said. “We try to keep it as far from a dictatorship as we can.” Each member helps keep the others in check and provides constructive criticism. The band doesn’t invest any time in reading reviews because no good comes from it, he said. Myers said the band is looking forward to performing at the Bluebird because it is a good performance space. The intimate setting is far better to the band than any impersonal stadium full of people, he said.

@DELPOZOOFFICIAL Delpozo is delicate. Often fashioned in floral patterns of silk, the softness is contrasted with facets of bright colors. With infamously dark fall winter lines, it will be refreshing to see a dab of color among the drab. Look to see Delpozo be the only place flowers bloom amidst the cold. @THEROW My childhood self is bubbling with excitement to see the names behind this line. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have matured in the sleekest of ways. The range of ready-to-wear, eyewear and

handbags have a prominent edge to their otherwise simplistic designs. It makes sense, considering the 2006 line began with ideas for a simple white T-shirt. It evolved into a line of leather goods and a fall 2013 presentation of strong collared shirts mixed boxed blazers of slick black. Their Resort 2014 collection reaches out a bit more, even dabbling in pale yellow-colored leathers. The twins have described it themselves as “defined minimal luxury that is wearable.” @PROENZASCHOULER There may be controversy as Lincoln Center, the usual location for NYFW, decided to expand from its Upper East Side studios to Brooklyn. But you can tell New York line Proenza Schouler is at home, no matter the venue. It’s a newer line started in 2002 by designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, but it’s anything but amateur.Its simplistic patterns with strong bases give it an urban decadence that is bold but not loud. @MARCJACOBSINTL Emily says watching out for Marc Jacobs is obvious, and I agree. Last winter, we saw indigo, marigold and purpled burgundy line his runway. This year, urban caps with classic pinstripes are something GQ previewed for gentlemen. But his live show is highly anticipated for a reason, and Emily says you’d be smart not to miss it.

@ALTUZARRASTUDIO The concept behind Altuzarra is based around the modern woman. Its claim is to help sophisticated women feel seductive. The inspiration for fall 2014 seems tailored for confidence. It has the traditional prep influence of trench coats and striped ties with a modern elegance of tailored collars in sleek black. It’s a duality I can’t wait to see.

“Labor Day”

“Community”

Starring: Kate Winslet, Josh Brolin, Gattlin Griffith

Starring: Joel McHale, Danny Pudi, Donald Glover

C+

A-

Expectation can be a tricky beast. Until now, writer and director Jason Reitman was riding four for four. “Thank You For Smoking” in 2005 was a brilliant satire of the tobacco industry. “Juno” in 2007 brought him mainstream success and his first Oscar nomination as a director. “Up In The Air” in 2009 solidified him as a critical darling, and 2011’s “Young Adult” was his most mature filmmaking to date. Unfortunately, the melodrama of “Labor Day” isn’t worthy of his pedigree of films. The year is 1987. Adele Wheeler, the ever-sensational Kate Winslet, and her son Henry (Gattlin Griffith) are forced to take an escaped convict by the name of Frank (Josh Brolin) home with them from the supermarket. What follows could have been a tightly wound and morally ambiguous meditation on guilt, innocence and the lengths humans will go to for connection. Instead, we spend 111 minutes watching several dark events unfold with a little too much elegance and precision. It’s all tied together nicely with a bow on top. Frank is a conflicted character, but too often he’s painted as

Let’s pretend last season never happened. The fifth season of the NBC comedy “Community” is now underway. The show has been firing on all cylinders, and the writing has been superb thus far. The show’s brilliance is emphasized by the utter chaos and dysfunction of last year. First, NBC fired Dan Harmon, the creator and head writer of “Community,” in spring 2013. However, due to the show’s cult following and NBC’s inability to create hits, the show stayed on the air. But firing the genius behind the show created trouble. He was replaced by new showrunners David Guarascio and Moses Port. They tried their best to match the wit and distinctiveness of previous seasons, but came up short. The show became so farfetched and rotten that even the biggest fans of “Community” could not bear to watch onceloved characters struggle through such absurd situations. NBC had a choice to make. They could stick with this crummy version, cancel the show completely or rescind their decision and allow Dan Harmon to come back. Well, Harmon is back, and the

in turn, the audience, are coerced into accepting him without question. Had the film been designed as the melodrama it so clearly wants to be, it might not have been such a disappointment. Winslet, as in all of her underwritten roles, works wonders with the limited scale of emotions she’s been given. Even paltry shots of shaking hands and sweat-covered brows are elevated by her presence. Brolin brings a tranquil intimidation to the table, as his character should. It’s a fine performance, but it never sparks

a bright savior in a depressed mother’s life. Whether or not he’s guilty of the crimes he was imprisoned for, Reitman asks us to understand as Adele and Henry continue to harbor Frank in their home. But we’re never left to question whether or not this makeshift family is the result of genuine love or a twisted, Stockholm syndrome-assisted manipulation. Under those parameters, “Labor Day” may have flourished. Instead, there’s no room for deliberation about Frank’s intentions. Adele and Henry and,

because Reitman seems afraid to portray Frank as indefinite. There’s a tangible pressure to make him a wrongfully convicted criminal, and it serves the story poorly. Given the talent pool both in front of and behind the camera, “Labor Day” had all the potential of the darkly comedic films Reitman has presented before, which makes its complacency that much more intolerable. There’s a truly haunting film tucked somewhere in there. It’s just a shame it never creeps to the surface. BY DANE MCDONALD

ship has been righted. “Community” will never be the ratings bonanza that NBC wants or the normal collegeshenanigans sitcom that would give it a boost in popularity. Instead, the show relies on callbacks, meta references and very detailed characters. Also, “Community” never sticks to one format. Even though it is usually a multicamera comedy, there have been episodes entirely in claymation, video-game graphics or a filmnoir format. All of these gimmicks are interesting and fun, but what makes the show really run are the characters. The concept of the show began with a study group of seven people who are given community college stereotypes, such as jock or teacher’s pet, but are fleshed out over the course of the show. A disbarred lawyer named Jeff Winger, played by Joel McHale, never finished school and needs to go back to community college to get a degree. He ends up creating a study group to try to impress a girl and, eventually, this eclectic unit becomes inseparable. A common mantra for fans of the show is “six seasons and a movie.” Those dedicated fans have kept this little-show-that-could on the air. It has gone through rough patches, but the comedy is back with the show in the right person’s hands. BY GREG GOTTFRIED

Remembering the work Hoffman left behind “I’m probably more personal when I’m acting than at any other time. More open, more direct. Because it allows me to be something that I can’t always feel comfortable with when I’m living my own life, you know? Because it’s makebelieve.” Philip Seymour Hoffman, the Academy Awardwinning actor who died at the age of 46 last weekend, said that. It’s easy to forget celebrities are human, given how much time we spend idolizing them and how much of our money we put down to watch them perform their craft. It’s no wonder we take their deaths so personally. We

trick ourselves into believing these intangible people we only see on screens and billboards cannot be susceptible to age, disease or addiction. This is why losing Hoffman to an apparent heroin overdose feels like such a personal loss. Though he garnered critical praise and four Academy Award nominations for dramatic films like “Capote” and “The Master,” I’ll always remember him for his various unsung, forgotten roles. Take his turn as sadistic arms dealer Owen Davian in J.J. Abrams’“Mission: Impossible III.” It was 2006, and Hoffman was fresh off his Best Actor win for playing

the titular role in “Capote.” While other more stingy or snotty actors would wait for the next big dramatic role, Hoffman agreed to play a villain in a big-budget action flick starring Tom Cruise. Both Hoffman and the film are damn good, meaning he wasn’t an actor who pinned himself into dramatic Oscar-bait roles, mainstream comedies (like 2004’s “Along Came Polly”) or tent pole franchises. Hoffman liked to play it all. He even headlined a Broadway revival of “Death of a Salesman” alongside Andrew Garfield in 2012, only the last in a long string of theater credits he acquired over his career. This past fall, he starred

in “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,” arguably the highest profile release of his career. But his soul lives on in his body of work, which would seem like such a cliché if not for the words spoken by Hoffman himself. By his own account, he was at his most personal when he was on screen. He displayed more overt honesty through his acting than the majority of his peers could have ever hoped to convey. As with the loss of Heath Ledger six years ago, we mourn both a man and the work he had yet to accomplish. And while the media will devote their efforts to detailing Hoffman’s final

hours or how much work he had left to complete on “The Hunger Games” sequels, let me take this time to remind you that it is not your place or mine to judge Hoffman’s choices. Let his work speak for him. It’s what he gave to us during his lifetime, and it’s what he leaves behind.
