Trapped by the law For undocumented couple, fear of deportation is worth it for hope of reform

BY MICHAEL AUSLEN mauslen@indiana.edu

Behind the steering wheel, Sandra is cautious. She doesn’t know what will happen if she makes one wrong move.

Driving without a license would earn her enough trouble with the police, but her secret is more serious — Sandra is an undocumented immigrant. Flashing red and blue lights in the rearview mirror could mean deportation, the end of her family’s life in Bloomington.

“We feel so frustrated that one of these days some police or something asks for my driver’s license, and I don’t have it,” she said.

She remembers the time one of her friends was pulled over. He was a father of three with a business in town. He had lived in Bloomington for more than 10 years. His taillight was out. He was almost deported.

It’s a constant fear for Sandra and her husband, Israel, who left Juarez, Mexico, together in 2010.

They both have college degrees, Sandra’s in communications and Israel’s in graphic design. Before they left Juarez, just across the border from Texas, they had professional careers.

Four years after driving across the border, Sandra and Israel still live here. They shop at Wal-Mart, stress about entertaining family members during the holidays and drive a Subaru Outback with a yellow “Baby on board” sign hanging in the window.

Every day, they face the challenges of outcasts in American society: the fear of a police officer asking to see a driver’s license, confused looks from passersby when

they speak Spanish in public, putting their dream of owning a business on hold while they clean 10 houses every week to earn a living.

Across the country, they’re joined by millions of other undocumented workers waiting for the government to overhaul an immigration system. It’s reform that elected leaders on both sides of the political aisle say doesn’t work.

“We hope that immigration reform comes soon,” Sandra said. “Maybe one of these days.” *

Immigration challenges the fundamental nature of American society, posing some of the most basic and yet most difficult questions the political process has to answer: What is an American? And who gets to be one?

In Washington, D.C., stalled attempts to overhaul the system have faced divisive responses to even deeper questions about how immigration could change America.

What happens to our national infrastructure — community services and social programs — when the nature of the groups it serves changes?

How do we deter illegal immigration, and what do we do about the estimated 11.7 million undocumented workers living here today?

For Bloomington’s director of Latino outreach, Daniel Soto, the answers to these questions are simple.

He says the U.S. needs to reform its

immigration system and create a path to citizenship for the millions who have entered the country illegally. The sooner the better.

Daniel estimates there are 200 to 300 undocumented immigrants living in Bloomington. They’re a small minority, and unlike in big cities, there are fewer services available and fewer people who understand their situation. There are no official counts, but he’s confident he’s right.

“I pretty much can say I know almost everyone in that category,” he said.

Daniel is a Costa Rican immigrant and a U.S. citizen. He’s often a resource for immigrants, particularly those whose primary language is Spanish.

“I will say 90 to 99 percent would be very happy to participate and to pay their fair share into the system,” he said. “It’s just that they are not allowed right now.”

IU to storm ‘The Barn’

BY JOHN BAUERNFEIND jogbauer@indiana.edu

The IU men’s basketball team (14-8, 4-5) travels to Minneapolis, Minn., Saturday to face the Minnesota Golden Gophers (15-8, 4-6).

Minnesota enters the contest on a three-game losing streak, with the most recent loss Wednesday at Purdue. The Golden Gophers and Boilermakers played three overtime periods before Purdue pulled out the win, 77-74.

Minnesota’s leading scorer, junior guard Andre Hollins, returned from a three-game absence against Purdue.

Hollins, who had been sidelined with an ankle injury, wasn’t expected to play Wednesday.

Barring any setback, he will almost certainly suit up against the Hoosiers.

So far this season, the Golden Gophers are 12-2 at home.

That includes victories against Ohio State and Wisconsin, who they defeated by double-digit points.

Indiana enters the contest coming off one of its biggest wins of the season, a 63-52 win against No. 10 Michigan.

Sophomore guard Kevin “Yogi” Ferrell had a game-high 27 points on 8-for-10 shooting from the field.

After that game, IU Coach Tom Crean said for Ferrell and Indiana to be successful on offense, Ferrell has to be in constant movement.

“So he’s got to be in movement, and I thought that’s what he did well,” Crean said. “Whether it was zone, whether it was the break, whatever it was, he was really, really good in movement, and his teammates continued to move and

We stood around a little bit the other night (against Nebraska), and some of that was him, some of that was us, some of it was just not continuing to flash into the gaps that are there, man or zone, and today we didn’t have that issue.”

Minnesota leads the Big Ten in steals per game with 8.3. Senior guard Austin Hollins led the team with 2.1 steals per game.

Indiana, which ranks sixth in the Big Ten in steals per game, has had trouble throughout its season with turnovers.

The Hoosiers are last in the conference in turnovers per game, SEE IUBB, PAGE 4

Inside immigration enforcement When a local law enforcement agency arrests someone who they believe to be an illegal immigrant or who has been in the system before, Immigration and Customs Enforcement is notified. From there, agents can choose to issue a detainer, which ensures the arrested person will be turned over to immigration authorities after being released from local custody.

Immigration cases in Indiana are handled by the ICE office in Chicago, which serves six states in the Midwest. Last year, the Chicago office was responsible for almost 8,000 deportations, said Gail Montenegro, an agency spokeswoman.

First-time violators are entitled to a hearing in federal immigration court. They are allowed an attorney, although there are no taxpayer-funded public defenders. Only U.S. citizens have that right.

If the judge orders the person be deported, he or she is returned to ICE custody for removal from the country.

The federal government charters flights from major cities to countries with high numbers of deportations, like Mexico. Immigrants can also be put on commercial flights, accompanied by two ICE agents to bring them back to their home country.

COAS introduces new required speech course

BY KATHRINE SCHULZE schulzek@indiana.edu

The College of Arts and Sciences has altered its curriculum for the 2014-2015 school year to make public speaking a required course.

P155: Public Oral Communication is a new course with a pilot class running this semester.

The three-credit-hour course consists of a lecture delivered once a week, which most students watch virtually, and themed discussion sections held twice a week. P155 will replace the current elective class, C121: Public Speaking.

John Lucaites, associate dean for arts and humanities and undergraduate education, said the course was created as a result of the state’s

decision to make “speaking and listening” a primary competency students should establish as part of the Statewide General Education Transfer Library and Curriculum.

By state mandate, students who enter the COAS in fall 2013 and after must complete a public speaking class in order to graduate.

“All the students are going to benefit from being able to improve their oral communication skills,” P155 course director professor Robert Terrill of the Communication and Culture department said.

The class will be taught in an innovative format in which most students will listen to the lecture virtually on their own time, and then SEE COURSE, PAGE 2

Founding sisters of IU’s newest un-housed sorority, Delta Phi Epsilon, show off their chapter pride during recruitment day. Freshmen through seniors were chosen to be the founding sisters of the sorority, totaling at 156 women.

Sorority rejoins greek community

BY KATHRINE SCHULZE schulzek@indiana.edu

Four girls are sitting in a group and laughing around a table, laptops and notebooks opened, but forgotten.

To the casual onlooker, it seems they have been friends for years. In reality, they’ve known one another only a week.

They’re part of the founding sisters of Delta Phi Epsilon: the newest un-housed sorority on IU’s campus.

DPhiE had an informal rush process a week after formal rush ended. They had after-school activities and interviews.

Freshmen through seniors were chosen and totaled 156 women.

“Fortunate enough for us, the girls who were hand picked — chosen — are very genuine and caring and lovable,” Dina Dajani, a sophomore and founding sister, said.

Dajani, like many other women in the new sorority, thought about doing formal rush, but opted out early in

the process.

“It just didn’t feel like me,” Shri Amarmath, freshman and founding sister, said.

The women were initiated last week, and now DPhiE must go through a 10-week colonization process in order to be an official chapter, Alex Miskus, freshman and founding sister, said.

DPhiE was a sorority at IU back in the early 1900s, but the chapter left in 1946 due to lack of interest in sorority life, Dajani said.

Amarmath said DPhiE wants to expand options for women who want to join a sorority by bringing back their chapter to IU. “The competitive spirit is unnecessary, especially in something like greek life where everyone should feel included, and everyone should feel like they have a home,” Amarmath said.

DPhiE’s motto is “Esse Quam Videri — To Be Rather Than to Seem to Be,” and the founding sisters are trying to live up to the motto.

“We don’t play around,” Dajani said. “Everyone is

really real with each other.”

Every sister is making an effort to reach out to everyone and get to know her fellow sister, Lexi King, sophomore and founding sister, said.

For Amarmath, part of being in a sorority was about finding a place to call home.

“I’ve never lived in one place my whole life,” Amarmath said. “I don’t really have a home, per se, so for me that was a huge thing, and I honestly feel that way now.”

The girls of DPhiE are ready to make their mark as a different kind of sorority on campus, staging elections for student leaders next week and working towards setting up philanthropy and other sisterhood events.

“We don’t have a reputation yet,” Amarmath said.

“It feels good that we get to make what we want to make of it.”

The founding sisters said they want to create a sorority more accepting to all women.

“I feel like we have a

better chance at creating a better environment,” Miskus said. “A more accepting environment than another sorority since we’re founders, and we can set the stones of how we want it to be for future classes.”

The DPhiE mascot is a unicorn, which Amarmath said she thinks is fitting because a unicorn can be anything you want it to be, just like their sorority.

“We have a chance to make a big impact, if we want,” Haley Corne, freshman and founding sister, said.

Right now, the founding sisters of DPhiE are working towards becoming a tightknit group.

“I think that’s something we can take pride in,” Corne said.

“We are going to know each and every sister, and no one’s going to be left out. We really are going to be like one big family.”

IU increases administrative diversity

BY DANI CASTONZO dcastonz@indiana.edu

IU is responding to concerns expressed by many faculty, parents and students last year about the lack of emphasis on diversity at IU by creating three new administrative positions and revamping other administrative positions devoted to increasing diversity.

The IU student body consists of 4 percent AfricanAmerican students, 4.2 percent Latino students and 4 percent Asian-American students, according to the fall 2013-14 enrollment report.

“Things are being done.

These sensitive matters and issues are being talked about,” IUSA Chief of Diversity, Inclusion and Advocacy Leighton Johnson said. ‘“I’m satisfied with the progress.”

Johnson was one of the student leaders who started the rally last year to call for more underrepresented minorities and fix understaffed and underfunded programs, such as Groups and the Hud-

son and Holland Scholarship program, which were intended to recruit and assist minority students.

He said these new administrative positions “speak volumes to the University’s character” and focus on diversity issues.

One of the biggest administrative changes, Johnson said, was the selection of James Wimbush as the new vice president of Diversity, Equity and Multicultural Affairs, who brings “new energy” to the push for more diversity at IU. The three new administrative positions include ViceProvost and Associate Vice President of DEMA Educational Inclusion and Diversity, Vice President of the IU Foundation and Associate Vice Provost for Faculty Development and Diversity.

History professor Claude Clegg will fill the Associate Vice Provost for Faculty Development and Diversity position July 2014.

The goal of this position, Clegg said, will be to recruit

and retain faculty from underrepresented minority groups.

“The big thing is that the University’s diversity mission will need to be absorbed by the roots of all of its departments, schools and other units, not just some of them,” Clegg said.

“It’s a cultural shift that will require the buy-in of various faculty colleagues and administrators, a shift that I hope to help advance by working corroboratively with units and people across IUB.” One of the issues brought up last year was the discontinuation of the Hudson and Holland Scholars incentive scholarships for current students due to a lack of funds.

This program is an incentive for academically gifted minority students to attend IU, Johnson said.

However, with the new emphasis on diversity, the incentive program has been reinstated.

Program director Marsha McGriff said the program is going in a positive direction and this temporary discon-

tinuation was necessary to maintain the integrity of the scholarship fund.

“I think it was a good thing to just kind of stop for a moment, to relaunch the funding and then start again,” McGriff said.

Currently, the Hudson Holland scholarship program is funding 914 minority students, with almost 1,000 in the group total, McGriff said.

“We have the stats to support that it is successful,” McGriff said. “The students are phenomenal.”

Johnson said he is satisfied with the reimplementation and focus on diversity programs and IU’s general willingness to address such a touchy subject by getting more involvement in diversity at the administration level.

“There were diversity issues last year, and there still are,” Johnson said. “But is today better than yesterday?

Yes.” Follow reporter Dani Castonzo on Twitter @Dani_Castonzo.

attend two 50-minute discussion sections tailored to specific subjects.

Currently, the sections carry themes like linguistics, philosophy, geography and folklore and ethnomusicology.

Assistant instructors from those specific fields will teach the different sections, but students will also have the option to choose a section not tailored to a particular subject.

Cynthia Smith, course coordinator, said she feels the small sections create a supportive, fun atmosphere.

“I think it’s an incredibly helpful class to have early in your college career,” Smith said.

The pilot course has been running for the past year. In the fall semester it was still taught as C121, but this semester it is being taught as P155 with roughly 600 students, 560 of which watch the lecture virtually, Terrill said.

“That’s the great thing,” Terrill said.

“I don’t really know what those public issues are, but presumably an AI in history or geography or linguistics would have a sense of what those issues would be that students would be able to give speeches on.”

The course uses a new technology called Eagle Eye, originally used by the college for press conferences.

“There are many advantages to this, not least that students can watch the lectures at their leisure and they will have the materials for the lecture with them at all times,” Lucaites said.

Terrill said Eagle Eye creates a better viewing experi-

Students pulled up chairs in a lounge at Teter Quad to ask anonymous questions about sex to members of Sigma Lambda Gamma, Phi Beta Sigma and Sigma Gamma Inc. Thursday.

Sigma Lambda Gamma members organized the discussion in anticipation of Valentine’s Day. “We thought this event would be good in time for Valentine’s Day,” Brandy Tillman, a junior member of Sigma Lambda Gamma, said.

“We decided an educational perspective on the issue, and to talk about it anonymously would be good.”

Sigma Lambda Gamma hoped to bring a diverse group of student voices to the event, but struggled with cancellations from volunteers.

Panelist and IU junior Marselis Byers of Phi Beta Sigma said he really enjoyed the event because he loves talking to people and sex is a fun thing to talk about.

“There’s a lot of misinformation in the world and misconceptions,” Byers said.

“People getting together and having legitimate, mature discussion is always going to help.”

Holly Juaruz, an audience member from the Latino sorority Sigma Gamma Inc., came to show support for her sisters on the panel. However, she said she also came away with a new perspective.

ence for the vast majority of students who will be watching the lecture online.

It is voice activated, zooming in on the speaker and widening its view when no one is speaking.

“The effect of watching it is very much as though there was a guy in a booth in the back with multiple cameras set up just choosing different camera angles, but it’s all run by machines,” Terrill said.

The lecture was originally taught just as described — with a cameraman streaming the video during Terrill’s lecture — but he found it wasn’t engaging students.

“It’s one thing to lecture to 200 people, but that doesn’t work out very well when it’s just one student alone in their dorm room watching the video,” Terrill said.

“It’s not really the right kind of presentation.”

The switch to “Eagle Eye” has made the class better this semester, Terrill said, and he projects it will only improve next year.

“The class, the way it’s designed, does so much more for the student than a regular public speaking class the way it’s taught at other universities,” Terrill said.

P155 will be available for registration in March.

“The fact that this course specifically focuses on civic engagement sets it up explicitly into a rhetorical tradition of training students to become engaged democratic citizens,” Terrill said.

“It extends back over 2000 years. The course really participates in an important tradition of civic education that I find very valuable.”

“The event showed people standing in different places regarding this topic because of how they grew up, the media, or who they hang out with,” Juaruz said.

“People have different beliefs and that’s not wrong.”

After debates about what defines a slut, what counts as sex and if it’s OK to have sex with an ex, Byers and Tillman said the most beneficial part of the evening was hearing from the opposite sex.

“Hearing opinions of women is always valuable,” Byers said. “I hope they do it again.”

Tillman purposely put questions into the anonymous pool to find out what men thought about women in relationships.

“I found out a lot about how guys feel about girls and how we have differences on like what they view a ho is,” Tillman said. “It gave me insight on the male perspective so that helped me a lot.”

Sigma Lambda Gamma is planning a breast cancer awareness event Friday at the Indiana Memorial Union from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Anyone is welcome to get goodies and make donations.

“Sex is becoming more prevalent in our society,” Tillman said. “The more we talk about sex the safer it becomes because people won’t be afraid to ask questions.”

Greg Rowe, right, and Greg Jacobs order food Thursday evening at Function Brewing. Steve and Anne Llewellyn opened the brewery last week after pouring their entire life savings and more than four years of planning into the project.

Brewery opens on 6th Street

BY DENNIS BARBOSA dbarbosa@indiana.edu

A man with a long black beard bustled behind the bar, pushing through a 12-hour shift at work.

A couple sitting nearby drank Function Brewing’s trade amber ale and smoked porter.

Despite his long day, Function Brewing co-owner Steve Llewellyn was in good spirits as he served his customers.

Steve and his wife Anne Llewellyn officially opened their downtown brewery on Jan. 29 at 108 E. Sixth St..

Steve Llewellyn said the two had never operated a business before.

“We knew we wanted to work for ourselves,” he said.

“We thought about a couple different business models to get us out of the daily grind, be our own bosses.”

Function’s location on Sixth Street formerly housed a photography studio.

“We essentially gutted this place,” Llewellyn said.

All the plaster was removed from the west and east walls, revealing the original brick walls. The dropped ceiling was changed and the carpet was torn out to give the brewery the wood floor it has now.

Originally from Utah, Llewellyn said the beer business was appealing because they are beer enthusiasts.

Steve has home-brewed beer for seven years. The Llewellyns have been working the beer competitions at the Indiana State Fair almost every year for the last five to six years.

The launch of their first business venture posed a number of obstacles for the couple such as permits, construction and beer production.

“There are so many things you don’t think of,” Llewellyn said. “Beer production, it doesn’t behave the same way as it does at home.”

The pair has been planning the startup of their brewery for more than four years, receiving help from several breweries such as Upland Brewery,

Bloomington Brewing and Cutters Brewing Company.

However, Llewellyn said, it was primarily the two of them working to start the company.

There were no investors. The couple poured their life savings into the brewery, he said.

By trade, Steve is an electrical engineer for the federal government, a job he landed in Bloomington after graduating from Purdue 11 years ago.

He said he hopes to quit his job as an engineer and work full time in the brewery like his wife.

“We don’t have to be rich,” Llewellyn said. “We just want this place to be able to pay for the bills. And have a good time being our own bosses.”

Brewpub to replace Café Django

BY BRIAN SEYMOUR briseymo@indiana.edu

Café Django will no longer serve students and families its ethnic cuisine and live jazz music. A new pub, Quaff ON!, will open its doors in March or April of this year.

Adam McGlothlin said the term quaff means “drinking heartily and with gusto.”

“Your job is to drink it,” said McGlothlin, who is in charge of sales and marketing for the new pub. “It’s about enjoying your beer, not just chugging it.

It’s more than a name, it’s who we are.”

“Quaff on” is the mantra of the pub’s parent company, the Big Woods Brewing Company, located in Brown County, Ind., he said.

Not naming Quaff ON! after its predecessor reflects the differences in the cultures of the locales, McGlothlin said.

Big Woods relates to Brown County, where the culture is

different and more rustic, he said. Quaff ON! is more relatable to the hip counterculture atmosphere of Bloomington.

McGlothlin said he hopes the pub will serve not just the student population of Bloomington , but the entire community.

He said they hope to expand the pub’s range beyond the borders of Indiana in the future.

“It’s gonna be a little more, dare I say, elegant,” said Steve Tuttle, the pub’s kitchen manager.

Quaff ON! will feature the meals one would expect to find in a similar-style restaurant, Tuttle said.

From Shepard’s pie-style dishes to sandwiches to fullsize entrees, the restaurant will try to please a large audience.

When the pub is opened, Tuttle said he will seek to “marry the beer and the food” by pairing meals with certain beers.

The main goal, however, is to spotlight the many craft beers Quaff ON! will offer by using them as ingredients in the meals, he said.

Half of the beers on tap will be Quaff ON! or Big Woods beer, and the other half will showcase both local and global craft beers, McGlothlin said.

While the pub plans to allow admittance of people under age 21, it will probably not allow anyone under the age of 18, Tuttle said.

McGlothlin said he plans for the pub to be an alternative to bar hopping.

“This is a place to have a few beers with friends, enjoy a high-quality meal and have a good time,” he said.

Though Café Django is gone, some students said they remember enjoying the jazzthemed restaurant.

Freshman Sarah Gage, a trombone performance major in the Jacobs School of Music, recalled that many

students in the jazz department performed at the former café.

“It was a great venue for anyone, whether you were in a group or ensemble or not,” Gage said. “It was really neat because it gave students the opportunity to express themselves.”

Gage and sophomore Daion Morton both said the food was great.

Hearing jazz music with Brazilian influences was a new and exciting experience, Morton said.

“That kind of diversity is uncommon in Bloomington,” he said.

Morton said he disapproves of the potential age restrictions.

“It would be unfortunate if there are age restrictions,” he said. “Café Django was a great spot for students to hang out.”

Fairview plans to improve performance

BY SYDNEY MURRAY slmurray@indiana.edu

Parents, teachers and administrators from Fairview Elementary School are trying to improve the embattled school’s performance.

Fairview received an F grade from the Indiana Department of Education for 2013. Fairview also received an F in 2012, which led the IDOE to designate Fairview a “priority school.”

Despite these shortcomings, only a handful of parents attended the first focus group meeting.

The purpose of the meeting was to meet with parents to gather input that will be used to inform Fairview Elementary School’s turnaround plan, according to a power point presented at the meeting.

“Fairview certainly has a task before itself,” said Beverly Smith, director of School and

Community Services at the Monroe County Community School Corporation.

“I want to hear the parent input. I really do.”

During the focus group, Smith posed questions to parents such as, “When planning for improvement, what does a successful Fairview student look like to you?” or, “What role should parents play in the school improvement efforts?”

Throughout the night, the parents and teachers in attendance discussed the schools’ strengths and weaknesses.

Fairview parent Mary Balle said she thinks the teachers at Fairview meet students in the middle, help them find their strengths and help them in their weak areas.

Balle said she hopes her children learn critical thinking skills and engage in learning that will stay with them beyond their time at Fairview.

“I want a teacher that thinks outside the box,” Balle

said.

Balle said she thinks the artful learning program at Fairview helps kids express their emotions and help their mind and body to connect.

“I see art as incredibly powerful for all their different levels,” Balle said. “It gives them hope, I think.”

Parent Jill Perkins said she wants teachers for her daughter who are good role models and can help teach her good social skills.

“I see that happening here,” she said.

Parent Melissa Harris addressed the fact that the standardized test scores of students at Fairview are lower than at other MCCSC schools.

She said she thinks for some students, the problem exists at home, rather than at school.

“Some of them don’t have a good life at home,” she said.

Harris said she would also like to see more after-school

activities actually take place on the Fairview campus, which might make it easier for students to participate in them.

Harris said she would also like to see more parentteacher conferences during the year.

Many parents said they would like more communication between the school and parents, as well as more efforts to draw in parents that may not be as involved in their children’s education.

There will be two more Fairview focus groups next week. One is from 10 to 11 a.m. Tuesday in the Fairview cafeteria and the other is from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday at Crestmont Center.

Though the meetings are focused on parents, other members of the community are allowed to attend.

“School improvement is a school, community effort,” Smith said.

The Commission on the Status of Black Males is seeking nominations for the Outstanding Black Male Leader of Tomorrow awards, which will be presented at the annual Black History Month Gala to a high school age student or a young adult, 30 years or younger.

Since its establishment in 2001, the Bloomington Commission on the Status of Black Males has worked to have a positive effect for black males in the areas of education, health and criminal justice, said Craig Brenner, special projects coordinator of the Community and Family Resources Department.

Under former mayor John Fernandez, a group of concerned individuals requested the creation of a commission more specifically targeted toward black males. Brenner said the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Commission had already been in existence for about six years but was too busy with its own programming to handle the request.

Instead, Fernandez recommended the commission to the city council, which approved the initiative.

Since then, the commission has worked with individuals of varied expertise to tackle its four focus areas, said Brenner.

One of the commission’s projects is a partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters. BBBS pairs black boys with black men that can help them with schoolwork and home life.

The pairs meet at the school and do some kind of academic improvement activity.

“After one year of being matched with their mentor, over 90 percent of kids belong to something outside of school,” said Mark Voland, director of community programs at BBBS. “They’re developing useful skills.”

To focus on the health and wellness component, the commission organizes an annual health fair in the spring.

The fair allows locals to receive health screenings.

The screenings are targeted toward black males,

who may have higher rates of heart disease or shorter life expectancies, said Brenner.

The commission is also involved in a New Start program, which seeks to reintroduce kids and young adults back into society after spending time in a juvenile facility, Greg Turner, chair of the commission said.

The program pairs a child with an adult while the child is still institutionalized so the two can begin bonding early on.

“The goal when they come out is that (the children) have somebody to help them on their feet, help them reenroll into school or find a job, so that they can survive when they reenter the community,” Turner said.

Brenner said the commission has not been able to make as many improvements in the areas of employment and criminal justice as it hoped. He said commission members have been trying to invite experts in these areas to speak at gatherings, such as the Bloomington sheriff.

The commission has also had difficulty working with schools on the city of Bloomington level to promote diversity in an effective way, Brenner said.

“We’ve met with pretty much every school superintendent,” Brenner said.

“There’s been quite a turnover in that role, five different school superintendents in the past 13 years. So it’s hard to get the school system to agree to something and then implement it, because there’s a change in leadership every two to three years.”

However, Brenner said schools have been working on hiring full-time personnel to work on diversity issues.

The Outstanding Black Male Leader of Tomorrow awards will recognize two individuals who have been leaders in volunteer work and academia and who show potential to be future leaders in the community, said Turner.

The gala will take place at 7 p.m. Feb. 22 at the Hilton Garden Inn. Follow reporter Kate Starr on Twitter @kastarr7.

Track and field to compete in South Bend The weekend will feature a change from the Hoosiers’ usual lineup. IU Coach Ron Helmer will rest the majority of his distance runners as they prepare for a tough span of competition ahead.

Just three weeks after the Big Ten Championships, Helmer said he is focused on tailoring the invitational to fit each athlete’s individual needs.

HOOPS WITH HOOP

Road win would be huge for young IU squad I’m going to write a sentence that at first seems to be an extreme case of hyperbole.

When IU (14-8, 4-5) travels north to play Minnesota (158, 4-6), it could be the biggest win of the year for IU. Now, stay with me.

Sure, the Hoosiers have been giant killers at Assembly Hall this year. They defeated previously-unbeaten No. 3 Wisconsin and then took down No. 10 Michigan on Super Bowl Sunday.

But this would be bigger.

IU is 1-4 on the road this season. Its only win was against Penn State, who opened up the season 0-6 in the Big Ten. The Hoosiers need this.

They need this to become .500 in the conference, and to take one more step toward making the NCAA Tournament.

When the Hoosiers play at home, they feed off the energy of fans in Assembly Hall. They exude confidence and intensity. The next step in becoming an upper-tier Big Ten team is to become a force on the road.

The Hoosiers melted in Lincoln, Neb., after building a 13-point lead at halftime, only to be outscored by 18 points in the second half. They put together one good half of basketball on the road.

The Barn will be a great test of whether or not they can sustain that intensity.

The Gophers beat Ohio State and Wisconsin by a combined 23 points. Minnesota barely lost to Northwestern by one point last Saturday, which suggests they might be vulnerable.

Guard Andre Hollins’ health will be a key factor. Hollins was doubtful for Wednesday’s game against Purdue, and ended up playing. But he looked very sluggish and rusty.

Against Purdue, the Gophers’ best player was 5-foot-9 guard Deandre Mathieu.

He was scrappy, quick and was always in the middle of everything. Expect Mathieu to drive a lot in this game, especially if Hollins still isn’t 100 percent.

But when Mathieu does drive, he will be met by the long arms of freshman forward Noah Vonleh, who has a propensity for stuffing players at the rim.

Everything about this game screams an IU win.

The Gophers have lost three straight and four of their last five.

And those three losses weren’t to the Big Ten’s elite.

Minnesota has been beaten

by Nebraska, Northwestern and Purdue in its last three.

But those were without a healthy Hollins.

IU is coming off its single

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 averaging 15.4. The next closest team to that figure is Iowa, which averages 12.1 turnovers per game.

After the Michigan game, Ferrell said Indiana is starting to execute better offensively, working the shot clock and not forcing anything.

“We may not get something in transition, but we set a play and run it,” Ferrell said.

“I felt like we ran our plays

Hoosiers seek payback win against Wis.

best defensive performance of the year, holding the dynamic Wolverine offense to just 52 points. The Hoosiers didn’t have a midweek game, so their legs should be as fresh as ever.

But I just can’t do it. I can’t pick IU to win.

This team is too inconsistent. This team folded in the second half against Nebraska on the road. It beat Penn State by three. In its best-played road game, it lost to Michigan State by just five. And the Spartans were playing without NBA prospect Adreian Payne.

Until IU proves me wrong, which it has a chance of doing, I won’t pick it on the road against a decent Big Ten team.

Which of course means it will probably win.

Nevertheless, my prediction – Minnesota 71, IU 70.

Evan Hoopfer is 8-5 in predictions this year.

—ehoopfer@indiana.edu very well to perfection, sprinting to our spots, setting great greens, getting Noah (Vonleh) and other guys open for open shots.

“We’re coming along with that, being more patient. Even when we’ve got to take it down in the shot clock and get the best available shot that we can.”

In Indiana’s two most recent wins, against Illinois and Michigan, they have given up 46 and 42 points. Crean said after the Michigan game

it’s important for his team to maintain its focus defensively the entire game.

“So I think the difference is the energy of the hands, talking and really just staying committed to what we needed to do in that game,” he said.

“These guys are learning, and this is the hardest for young guys defensively.

“The hardest thing for any of them is that you’ve got to continue to play through it when you’re not having a great game offensively or you’re not

getting that confidence from your shot. The hard part defensively is that every game is different, and you have to understand how that other team wants to win. Against Nebraska the other night we understood it pretty well in the first half, we got away from it in the second half. Today we understood it for the entire game, and we were successful.”

When IU lost at Wisconsin earlier in the season, freshman guard Alexis Gassion said it was a game the Hoosiers let slip away.

Despite this, senior center Simone Deloach said she has seen the team learn from the defeat and from the following games.

“I think we’ve grown significantly since that game,” Deloach said.

Following their first Big Ten road win since February 2011, the Hoosiers (166, 3-6) will face the Badgers (10-12, 3-7) for the second time in the regular season at 1 p.m. Saturday.

Wisconsin arrives in Bloomington after losing by one point in overtime to No. 21 Nebraska Wednesday.

The loss dropped the Badgers to 1-5 since defeating the Hoosiers 65-60 in Madison, Wis., on Jan. 15.

Despite that loss, IU Coach Curt Miller said Wisconsin has played three good games consecutively.

“I think we’re catching Wisconsin at a time when they’re playing their best basketball, so we’ve got our work cut out for us,” Miller said. “But I think our kids are hungry to give it another try because we had an opportunity and just didn’t finish.”

The Hoosiers will try to contain Wisconsin junior forward Jacki Gulczynski, who finished with 23 points and 13 rebounds in the first matchup. She also recorded a career-high six blocks in the Badgers’ win.

Despite scoring only five points, she still managed to grab 10 rebounds in the loss to Nebraska. She has also had at least one block in 18 games.

“Gulczynski’s the best shot-blocking forward in the league,” Miller said.

“Their shot-blocking ability at the post position makes you have to make tough shots in the paint.”

Miller also said Wisconsin is very dedicated to offensive rebounding.

Late in the game, the Hoosiers had a one-point lead and Wisconsin missed a foul shot.

The Hoosiers got the rebound still up by one

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL (16-6, 3-6) vs. Wisconsin (10-12, 3-7) 1 p.m. Saturday possession.

Wisconsin got the ball back, got an offensive rebound on the following possession and scored.

“We should’ve gotten the ball back with a onepoint lead late,” Miller said.

“All of a sudden that possession turned into a threepoint possession because of a huge offensive rebound that changed the last two minutes.”

Saturday’s game comes three weeks since both teams played each other.

The first matchup kicked off a grueling schedule of three games in five days.

The Hoosiers lost all three, and went 2-4 overall in the games between the first game and Saturday’s game.

IU Coach Curt Miller said his team stepped back up in the midst of that stretch, especially after the Jan. 30 game against Northwestern.

“I think the big thing was, we hit rock bottom against Northwestern and we lost on areas that we can control,” Miller said.

“We can control foul shooting, and sometimes there is so much you can’t control. But when you lose a game on things you can control, it really magnifies it.”

Miller said after the loss, his team was prepared and hungry.

“We got some things off our chests as players and coaches and put that game behind us,” he said.

“I’m proud that this team hit rock bottom and fought their way back.”

Deloach said the loss was tough, but it drove IU to get back in the gym and work harder.

“We were definitely angry, but angry at the fact that we could have had it,” she said. “We knew that we had a chance to see them again, so we knew that the next opportunity would be a special one.”

IU softball team opens season in Arizona at Kajikawa Classic

BY DAN MATNEY cdmatney@indiana.edu

For the fourth consecutive season, the IU softball team will start its season in the Kajikawa Classic in Tempe, Ariz.

The Hoosiers are set to play five games in a three-day stretch against Bradley, Portland State, Stanford, San Jose State and Cal Poly.

IU faced off against Bradley, Portland State and Stanford last season, but IU Coach Michelle Gardner said she doesn’t believe the previous meetings with those opponents will necessarily provide the team with an advantage.

“It’s a different year and it’s a different team,” Gardner

said. “They may have some of their players from last season, but their lineups won’t be the same.”

Gardner said because the season is opening this weekend, it levels the playing field.

“They haven’t played games yet either,” she said.

“It’s everyone’s first weekend out. I think anything can happen.”

IU senior pitcher Meaghan Murphy said she thinks the team is feeling confident heading into the first set of games of the season.

“We feel good,” Murphy said. “We’ve done some really good things in the preseason.

We’ve been working hard and, although we haven’t been

able to get outside to work as much as we’d like, we are doing some really good things on offense and defense.”

The first opponent on the Hoosiers’ schedule, the Bradley Braves, finished last season with a 23-29 record and fell to the Hoosiers 15-7.

Last year, IU senior infielder Breanna Saucedo led the team with three hits.

Shortly after the conclusion of the game against Bradley, the Hoosiers will take on the Portland State Vikings.

The Vikings finished the 2013 season with a 25-31 record, including a 7-0 loss to IU. IU junior pitcher Lora Olson pitched all seven innings

for the Hoosiers and allowed seven hits in the shutout.

The Hoosiers open Saturday with their second consecutive doubleheader, against the Stanford Cardinal and the San Jose State Spartans.

Stanford finished last year with a 39-21 record and made an appearance in the NCAA Tournament.

One of the Cardinal’s victories was an 8-2 victory against the Hoosiers. In that game, the Cardinal pitching duo of Kelsey Stevens and Nyree White held IU to just six hits.

The team hasn’t forgotten the loss, said Murphy.

“Every time we play Stanford it’s a battle,” she said.

“We always play them really tough.”

The Spartans, who finished last season with a 42-17 record, also made an appearance in the NCAA Tournament before losing a set of games to Arizona State and San Diego State in the opening weekend of the tournament.

San Jose State’s most productive hitter in last year’s lineup, junior outfielder Michelle Cox, is set to return after finishing last season with a .363 batting average.

IU concludes the Kajikawa Classic Sunday against the Cal Poly Mustangs.

The Mustangs finished 2013 with a 19-34-1 record.

SOFTBALL Kajikawa Classic Tempe, Ariz.

The top three hitters from last year, junior utility player Jillian Andersen, junior infielder Kim Westlund and junior utility player Mariah Cochiolo, are all returning.

IU senior infielder Shelby Gogreve said the team is anxious to start the season.

“We are feeling great,” Gogreve said.

“We are excited to be out in the warm weather and to actually be playing.”

» IMMIGRATION

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 bill passed by the U.S. Senate in June.

Supporters say it addressed every issue and answered questions raised by both Republicans and Democrats. It called for greater border security, amnesty for millions of immigrants who had entered the country illegally and tougher restrictions for employers who try to hire undocumented workers.

Yet when the bill reached the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives, Republicans blocked its passage, arguing instead to handle the wide swath of issues it addressed individually and more specifically. Before long, immigration reform was swept under the rug as more pressing matters — the government shutdown and the botched rollout of the Affordable Care Act website — took center stage.

“These people are here already,” Daniel said. “These people have children, they go to school, they participate in many ways. Giving them something legal is just a step to be sure that these people will be secure.” *

Sandra and Israel’s hometown is ground zero for the drug cartels. Juarez provides a link to the United States through El Paso, Texas, across the Rio Grande. Cartel violence is prominent. Shootings and kidnappings and beheadings tear the city apart.

The year before Sandra and Israel left, an average of seven homicide cases were recorded every day in the border city, making it one of the most dangerous places in the world.

“It’s like the eye of the hurricane,” Sandra said. “The city was like madness, crazy, because the cartels, they fight each other. And the people, we are in the middle.”

When Sandra’s mother was pregnant with her, she moved from Los Angeles back to Mexico. Sandra was almost born an American citizen, and her mother regrets not waiting to have her child in the United States. Sandra

and Israel did not yet have a child when they left Juarez, but they knew they wouldn’t want to build their family there.

So Sandra and Israel decided to leave and join his mother and aunt in Bloomington.

Juarez was too dangerous. The United States would be safer than Mexico. Better schools. More opportunity.

They never applied for green cards. Instead, they got tourist visas valid for short-term visits during the next 10 years, packed the car and drove off toward their new life.

“We don’t have anything to lose, right?” Sandra said.

“It’s like an adventure.”

Without stopping for the night, they drove. Behind them were family and friends in Juarez and a life they’d built together. It felt like home, but it was never truly safe. Ahead lay the unknown, the Midwestern city where they would try to fit in — and pray they’d never be forced to return to Mexico.

Six states and 24 hours later, the little family arrived in Bloomington. It was late on a Sunday night in February, and snow fell on the windshield of the Ford Explorer.

U.S. law required them to return to Mexico, visas in hand, after six months, but they stayed in Indiana for the next four years.

Not long after, their now2-year-old daughter, Nina, was born. She’s the reason the family has stayed in the United States. Sandra misses Mexico, misses her family, misses home, but she wants Nina to grow up with an “American life with Hispanic heritage.”

When Sandra talks about Nina and the fear of being sent back to Juarez, she stops mid-sentence, her eyes brimming with tears.

“We feel trapped some days. I feel trapped.”

Nina was born in Bloomington. She’s an American citizen with a lifelong right to live and work and learn here.

“I don’t care if I need to clean houses,” she said. “Only for her to have a really good school and she’s going to be safe. That’s only what I want.”

“These people are here already.

These people have children, they go to school, they participate in many ways.

Giving them something legal is just a step to be sure that these people will be secure.”

Sandra, an undocumented immigrant living in Bloomington, lives in fear of an encounter with police.

For her, even a traffic stop could spiral into court hearings and the possibility of deportation.

*

A run-in with Bloomington police could be all it takes to throw Sandra and her family into the immigration legal system.

It could mean being turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the agency responsible for finding and prosecuting undocumented immigrants.

Sandra and Israel would wait in federal custody for a hearing and then wait again for an airplane back across the border.

But limited resources mean the agency cannot possibly take action against every undocumented immigrant in the country.

ICE agents focus on removing convicted criminals, recent border-crossers and threats to the system, Montenegro said.

“In order to better prioritize the agency’s limited resources on targeting criminal aliens and those that put public safety at risk, ICE has issued guidance for ICE law enforcement personnel and attorneys regarding their authority to exercise discretion when appropriate,” ICE spokesperson Gail Montenegro said.

So for a family like Sandra and Israel’s, the fear of deportation might never become a reality. The man hours and money that would need to be spent tracking down,

detaining, trying and deporting a couple and their daughter in Bloomington, Indiana, might not be worth it.

But the fear will always be there. There are no guarantees. *

Sandra remembers a conversation she had with her husband over their lunch at Golden Corral on the west side.

An old woman sitting at the next table turned to them.

What are you saying? The woman asked.

Sandra and Israel looked at her, confused.

Yeah, you’re speaking something strange.

Israel responded. It was Spanish, he said.

Spanish? What’s that? The woman asked. I never leave Bloomington. I was born here, I live here and I’ll die here.

The woman’s response surprised Sandra.

“It’s like, hello, there’s another part of the world,” Sandra said.

Finding a job, communicating fluently and fitting into a Midwestern community presented challenges that surprised Sandra and Israel.

Friends and family told Sandra she might not be able to find work in her field. In Juarez, she worked in public relations, sold advertisements for a newspaper and did marketing for a funeral home.

Here, she sent out her résumé in search of office work and jobs at local publications.

She waited for responses that never came.

When the phone rang for her first job offer, two months after their arrival, she took it.

She had applied to McDonald’s using someone else’s name and Social Security number. On paper, Sandra never worked there.

At her job at McDonald’s and her husband’s job at Wendy’s, they learned more English, building on the basic knowledge they gained as students in Mexico.

“In school it’s the grammar and the subject and the verb, and in real life nobody speaks like that, right?” Sandra said. “It became like English classes.”

To each other and to Nina, Sandra and Israel speak Spanish.

“She’s in daycare, so with all the kids and the teacher, it’s all English, but at home, it’s all Spanish,” Sandra said.

“Only Spanish.” *

*

*

Not long after she started working at McDonald’s, Sandra’s mother-in-law — who the couple came to live with in the U.S. — decided to go back to Mexico. Sandra and her husband took over the house-cleaning business that her mother-in-law had developed during her 10 years living in Bloomington.

They have about 10 clients who they see every week.

“It’s nice because all these people know my mother-inlaw,” she said. “We have the key of the house, sometimes we take care of the cat, so it’s more like a relation of trust.”

Although Sandra and Israel don’t mind cleaning houses, it’s not what they want to do long-term, and it’s not how they expected to use their college degrees. But they see it as a better alternative than returning to Juarez.

Eventually, they’re going to open their own business here in Bloomington, a restaurant that serves the food they miss most from their home country, authentic, home-cooked Mexican food.

“Really, really Mexican food. Really Mexican. Homemade,” she said. “Because all that Taco Bell and Qdoba is nothing.”

Or maybe it’ll be a video game store. That’s what Israel wants.

Right now, though, their plan can’t move forward unless Congress passes an immigration reform bill that allows undocumented workers like Sandra and Israel an opportunity for amnesty.

But despite the problems, despite the fear, despite being so far from home, Sandra says it’s worth it. They do it for Nina.

World premiere of ‘The Tale of Lady Thi Kinh’ Friday adds to IU Opera Theater’s storied history

he orchestra laced together a soft melody that reverberated up to the stage, where Mang Ong, alone, called for his daughter.

He turned his body and awaited Thi Kinh’s emergence through two panels of bamboo. The composer, various directors and photographers waited, too, at the first full dress rehearsal for “The Tale of Lady Thi Kinh,” the world’s first opera transcribed from a Vietnamese story.

When Sarah Ballman, one of two IU doctoral students cast as title role Thi Kinh, weaved through the bamboo panels with her magenta, yellow and olive green dress flowing behind her and an opened fan to her face, composer P.Q. Phan said he saw magic.

“When you have the right song, movement and light, it’s almost like you’re putting the two dimensions to the third dimension,” Phan said after her first appearance.

But the opera won’t materialize completely for him until its world premiere tonight.

With David Effron conducting, students from the Jacobs School of Music will condense hundreds of hours of work into a 115 minute-long piece tonight at the Musical Arts Center. Everyone from opera magazine editors to troupes will be there to see how “The Tale of Lady Thi Kinh” will add to IU Opera Theater’s 66-year-long history.

Among the attendees will be Phan, sitting with his wife as he anticipates what he’s bringing into the world.

“The moment I see people walk in and the curtain open, I’ll think, ‘Wow, I can’t believe this is happening.’ Like when a baby is being born,” Phan said. “At the end, I’ll know if it’s a boy or a girl.”

THE OVERTURE When Wilfred C. Bain left Denton, Tex., for Bloomington in 1947, his main goal as the new dean of the IU School of Music — now the Jacobs School of Music — was to push opera to the school’s forefront.

Bringing in conservatories, orchestras and opera houses from Europe and the United States, Bain spent 26 years

Since the program’s inauguration in 1948, it has presented more than 20 world premieres, the last being Bernard Rands’s “Vincent” in 2011. Tonight, Phan’s “The Tale of Lady Thi Kinh” will claim that esteem.

The real problem in higher education

ILLUSTRATION BY CHARLEY GIFFORD

Racists are the real “thugs” WE SAY: Leave Richard Sherman alone When the Seahawks beat the 49ers and secured their place in the Super Bowl line-up, cornerback Richard Sherman made headlines during an on-field post-game interview with Erin Andrews when he hollered into the camera.

According to social media, television and radio, Sherman “acted like a thug.”

It’s important to note that Sherman is black.

And it is the perfect example of how we need to always be wary of the mainstream media.

He was asked later about his behavior during an interview on ESPN. Not surprisingly, he said that he was excited — and for all intents and purposes called the reporters out on their racist implications of his

background and demeanor.

Yes, Sherman is huge, as are most football players. He stands a head taller than Andrews, his biceps are covered in tattoos and he has dreadlocks.

Out of context, someone could assume he was from the streets, mean and a brute.

But Sherman is a Stanford-educated man from Compton who has had an extremely successful career in the NFL. Now, he’s famous for “being unruly” after a game.

We don’t want to say it’s racist, but we’re going to say it’s racist.

It’s ridiculous that even after all the progress we’ve made, Americans are still scared of a black man acting “uppity,” as one reporter

put it, with all the backwards implications therein.

He’d just won a ticket to the Superbowl. He’s allowed to be excited about it.

And, as Jon Stewart said, there are bigger fish to fry.

The same news outlets that accused Sherman of violence spun around and called Rob Ford, the controversial mayor of Toronto who is currently under investigation, the man we all love.

We don’t love Rob Ford.

He’s accused of violent felonies, mismanagement and cover ups.

But because he’s a white mayor who makes tonguein-cheek statements about his sex life and his position in politics, he is allowed a pass.

Meanwhile, the black

football player who intelligently defended himself and apologized for any inappropriate behavior is burned at the stake.

We can argue back and forth all day about semantics and motivations, but at the end of the day one thing does not change — Sherman is black, and that was the thing the media could not get past.

The irresponsibility is appalling. The implied racism, and acceptance of racism, is more so.

We must always be wary of what the media says and how it portrays people.

It’s a shame, but it’s true.

QUE SARAH SARAH

tives was debating HJR 3, a “proposed amendment that would alter the Indiana Constitution to define marriage as between one man and one woman,” the @FreedomIndiana Twitter account was publishing the names and logos of various Indiana businesses that opposted the ammendment.

Namely, the Indianapolis Star, Area 10, Borshoff, and the Indy Bar Association.

I was shocked by the number of people in my Facebook and Twitter feed who apparently are, firstly, opposed to compassion and fellowship and, secondly, under the impression that English is our national language.

It’s not.

Though English is spoken by a strong majority of Americans — 73 percent — the other languages in the commercial are relatively well-represented within the population as well.

Spanish is spoken by 35 million Americans, or 11 percent; Tagalog and French are

spoken by 1.5 million Americans each; and Hindi, Hebrew and Keres account for the primary languages of about .2 percent of Americans.

Only 27 states have declared English as their primary language. Five of those have secondary official languages like Spanish and Hawaiian.

Even if all of those statistics weren’t true, resenting Coke for glorifying racial, cultural, linguistic, religious, sexual and socioeconomic diversity is both offensively mean-spirited and blatantly contradictory to the core message of a song so beautifully representative of our nation.

The ludicrous reaction by far too many becomes laughable in light of the lesser-known second verse: “O beautiful for pilgrim feet / Whose stern impassioned stress / A thoroughfare of freedom beat / Across the wilderness ... ” “America the Beautiful” is about immigration. Pilgrim feet made America a haven of liberty and justice

But the point of a college education, now and as our forefathers saw it, was never to learn solely about our specific interests. It is an opportunity to learn about all things that affect our life — yes, even math.

Though we may not use all of the information we study in college for our future jobs, the critical thinking skills learned in every subject from a basic English class to 300-level biology will truly be valuable in most future endeavors.

The idea of skipping class simply because the material isn’t fresh is harmful.

Although you may be able to teach yourself three weeks worth of information a day or so before the test, you might have missed the individual insight each new teacher brings to the subject.

And, I mean, someone is paying for it, so you might as well show up every once in a while.

If you are looking to further your education only in a specific subject, go to a trade school. If learning about a wide variety of topics sounds difficult to you, don’t go to college.

The university system itself should not be held blameless — it needs to make an effort to hire engaging, insightful instructors.

College takes real work, real effort and real struggle.

Anyone who expects or hopes for anything less is seriously discrediting those who are willing to give it.

That, in my mind, is the real problem.

for all.

It’s not that American businesses getting involved in national issues is a recent occurrence.

But in our increasingly connected world, seeing companies put themselves and their consumers on the right side of history — even if the true goal is increased sales — is encouraging.

It doesn’t matter why Coke ran the ad. They were right. America is beautiful because of its diversity, not in spite of it.

Anyone who has a problem with crowning our good with brotherhood needs a far greater paradigm shift than one commercial can provide.

ONE MORE THOUGHT

Crown thy good with brotherhood The moment I saw CocaCola’s Super Bowl commercial, I knew it would ruffle feathers from sea to shining sea.

Not only did it feature seven different languages — English, Spanish, Tagalog (spoken in the Philippines), French, Hindi, Hebrew and Keres (spoken by Pueblo Native Americans) — it highlighted multiple religions and a gay couple, presumably with their daughter.

Many found such a display of brotherhood offensive and ridiculous, evidenced by a litany of infuriated tweets declaring that “we speak English in America” and that there was nothing beautiful about the message of diversity.

Of course, let us not forget that the advertisement was, at its core, a brilliant marketing move. Coke has joined the flocks of companies and organizations who have begun publicly taking sides on national and political issues.

When the Indiana State House of Representa-

During the past several weeks, my fellow opinion columnists have been tackling the tricky issue of boring required classes.

Cole Lewis asserted in “Attendance Policy Fallacy” that because most classes with mandatory attendance policies don’t teach “original concepts,” students should be allowed to miss as many classes as they want because the material is, in effect, boring.

In “Fed Up with the Education System,” Lexia Banks claimed students should be able to opt out of classes that don’t tailor entirely to their specific sets of interests, like Finite Mathematics.

Though I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve been known to roll my eyes at the thought of a particularly physics-heavy astronomy lecture, and that Finite was essentially the bane of my academic career, I could not disagree more with their sentiments.

In fact, I find their nonchalant attitude toward the “less fun” aspects of their college instruction to be a symptom of everything that is wrong with our conception of higher education today.

People view attending college as merely a boring necessity, only meant to serve only as a way to get a higher paying job.

We as a generation can’t be blamed entirely for this.

It was the attitudes of our parents and their parents that changed the social perception of a college degree from something elite scholars actively sought and earned, to a popular commodity with very little realworld value.

And I get it. I really do. It’s a bummer to have to sit and do an hour of homework for something we don’t necessarily care about while we’re in the prime of our lives.

I have to say I was put off by the now-infamous CocaCola commercial. It made me more than uneasy — almost mad.

Before you scream racist or intolerant buffoon, let me at least make my case.

I am multicultural in the truest sense of the word.

American by birth, I grew up abroad in Papua New Guinea. My education consisted of international schools, home school, private schools and public schools.

I have friends from every continent except Antarctica, travel abroad extensively and speak more than one language.

I am the product of several, often conflicting, cultures, and I wouldn’t change a thing.

I love who it has made me.

But personal diversity is one thing and national identity is another. National identity hinges on unity, on common ground, on common culture.

Now, of course culture changes over time, but it does so through the assimilation, not exaggeration, of each new perspective that is thrown into the mix.

In other words, diversity is only the first step. What is truly the mark of a beautiful, rare and profound culture is not its diversity, but if that diversity can be harnessed and melded to produce something truly new and exceptional.

It’s no coincidence that the U.S. has been deemed the melting pot of the world. Taking the best from each other in a process of cultural refinement is how societies thrive and last. It is what has made us great. I don’t want to lose that.

One might think if I am for diversity and cultural evolution, a multilingual commercial represents that and I

applauded rather than booed the sentiment.

Not quite.

I’m no anthropologist or cultural theorist, but I do know that culture and language are unified and that bond cannot easily be broken.

They are connected.

Culture mirrors language and vice versa. Naturally, then, language is a barrier to cultural change and assimilation, not a catalyst.

It does not promote tolerance or acceptance but rather fortifies prejudices, resentments, differences and the way things have always been.

We need a single language in this great nation because we need a common paradigm. A common stream of language is a necessity as we trickle in all the different, beautiful dyes of cultural color. A common language must be our framework and scaffold as we transform and take our great American identity through a process of metamorphosis.

I love diversity, difference and variety, but such things should bring us together, not apart.

Commercials should remind us what unifies us, not what makes us different. Let us borrow from each other, learn from each other and shape together what it means to be an American and, further, a global citizen.

We need to be able to talk to do that, and that means one language — be it English, Swahili or whatever else.

Lunch to speak at IU Cinema

BY ALISON GRAHAM akgraham@indiana.edu

American singer Lydia Lunch was selected to speak at 1 p.m. today at the IU Cinema as part of the campuswide Burroughs Century celebration.

Lunch worked in New York City with many influential writers, actors and musicians in the late 1970s and early ’80s, putting her in touch with contemporaries such as Burroughs and others who worked during the “No Wave” era.

“They both lived in New York at the same time,” Charles Cannon, Burroughs Century Steering Committee leader, said. “They were both

involved in the downtown New York art scene.”

Lunch’s lecture will incorporate her life and career as well as the artistic work she created during this time period.

She has worked as a singer, poet, writer, actress and self-empowerment speaker.

In her early music career, she started the band Teenage Jesus and the Jerks before moving onto a solo music career.

Later, she founded her own recording and publishing studio and appeared in two different films.

She also wrote and collaborated on a variety of books, according to the Burroughs Century website.

“This time period was comparable to Paris in the 1920s,” Cannon said. “We have Lydia here to talk about that place and that time and what it meant to be there.”

Cannon originally wanted to bring Lunch to Bloomington for a musical performance, but after walking through the Indiana Memorial Union one day, he saw a flyer that changed his mind.

An anthropology class on campus called “Sex, Drugs and Rock ’n’ Roll” was teaching both Burroughs’ and Lunch’s material, so Cannon coordinated with the professor and decided to bring Lunch in for a lecture.

The lecture will feature a speech, a discussion

LYDIA LUNCH LECTURE Performance, Sex and Punk Feminism: 1970s to present 1.pm., Feb. 7, IU Cinema between Lunch and professor Shane Greene and a question-and-answer session.

“The plain fact is that there are very few people left who actually knew Burroughs,” Cannon said. “To have Lydia here to talk about what it meant to be in New York City at that time is phenomenal.”

Sophomore Todd Aulwurm confronts sophomore Matthew Bloom, an IDS employee, at a dress rehearsal for University Players' new production of "Catch and Release" on Wednesday at the Studio Theater. "Catch and Release" was written by IU student Sam Barkley.

University Players perform originals

BY MARAH HOBSON mqharbis@indiana.edu

University Players, a student-run theater organization, will present “Virginal Works,” a duo of undergraduate plays, this weekend in the Studio Theatre of the Lee Norvelle Theatre and Drama Center. Students will perform “Food for Thought” by sophomore Nick Pappas and “Catch and Release” by junior Sam Barkley.

Though University Players always presents productions that are student-directed and student-produced, junior Katherine Taylor, the director of “Catch and Release,” said it has never performed pieces that were student-written. “‘Virginal Works’ is a chance to see a world premiere,” Taylor said. “It is the newest thing on campus as far as theater goes and is one of a kind.”

Sophomore Alexandra Goodman, the marketing director for University Players, said preparation for this event began last spring when the plays were selected for

performance.

She said because this is the first year for “Virginal Works,” “Food for Thought” and “Catch and Release,” they were the only plays submitted. Goodman said she hopes entries will grow in years to come.

“Hopefully when we do this again in the future we will have a ton of submissions to chose from, and we will be able to get people involved from the English department, creative writing, really anywhere,” she said.

“Food for Thought” will show tonight and Saturday at 8 p.m. “Catch and Release” will show at 11 p.m. today and Saturday at 2:30 p.m. Admission is free, and the plays contain mature content.

Pappas, who wrote “Food for Thought,” is a musical theater major. He said he was inspired to write this play after he had a mishap with a fast food order.

“I had ordered some pizza during rehearsal and never got it, so I decided to call up and yell at someone and basically do no good,” Pappas said. “I

told my good friend who had worked in food service about this, and she really set me straight.”

The tale is about eight young people who become comically intertwined after one of them places an order at a pizza restaurant. By writing the play, he wanted to portray young love in a more reasonable light than is done in mainstream media, Pappas said.

“I’m not trying to write anything symbolic,” he said. “I just want to tell a realistic story in kind of an extreme way.”

The second of the student playwrights, Barkley, said he draws the inspiration for his writings from other poignant works as opposed to his own experiences. He said the story of “Catch and Release,” an intense interaction between a power-hungry mall security guard and a helpless patron who has been handcuffed to a bench, was inspired by playwright Edward Albee’s “Zoo Story.”

“I am really fascinated by plays that focus on dialogue between two characters who

are busy trying to figure each other out,” Barkley said.

Barkley said he has been working on this play for more than a year and a half. Watching the work he has created come to life before his eyes is indescribable, he said, but it is even stranger to try to critique his own brainchild.

“Trying to examine your play is like trying to look at your own nose or bite your own teeth,” he said. “It’s so weird to be on the inside looking out.”

Barkley said he encourages students to come to “Virginal Works” for the experience of live performance. The palpable connection shared between the performers and the audience is something that cannot be manufactured, he said.

“Ultimately, plays are about people,” Barkley said.

“Whether you’re an economics major or an English major, you are a person and you want to understand other people.”

Caretakers talk controversial Burroughs novel

BY ALISON GRAHAM akgraham@indiana.edu

Geoffrey Smith and John Bennett, caretakers of the William S. Burroughs collection at Ohio State University, presented a lecture Thursday at the Lilly Library.

They explained their restorative work on Burroughs’ unpublished novel, “The Revised Boy Scout Manual.”

The lecture was part of the campus-wide Burroughs Century celebration in honor of the writer’s would-be 100th birthday.

Burroughs was a pioneer author of the Beat Generation, among famous writers like Jack Kerouac and Allan Ginsberg.

The Beat Generation was a writing movement that affected cultural change on a national level by addressing social, political and economic issues.

Smith and Bennett have compared a variety of documents, tapes and published sections of “The Revised Boy Scout Manual” to determine which is best to include in their finished version of the book.

“We hope we’ve done a very careful scrutiny of the documents at hand,” Smith said. “What we hope to end up with is a work that brings together all of the different editions.”

Each document differs from the others. Some have just a single word change, and other have entire sections that have been deleted.

Smith and Bennett said they hope to create an online database that allows scholars to have access to the documents they reviewed and note their decisions on all of the inclusions.

“The Revised Boy Scout Manual” follows Burroughs’ writing style and is rather sensational,

“What we hope to end up with is a work that brings together all of the different editions.”

Geoffrey Smith, caretakers of the William S. Burroughs collection at Ohio State University

Bennett said.

One rumor as to why the book wasn’t published in the 1970s was that the original publisher was threatened by the Boy Scouts of America and had to eventually drop out, Bennett said.

Bennett and Smith even foresee problems getting the work published when they finish their work later this summer.

“It’s a terrorist document,” Smith said.

Bennett said the interpretation depends on how a person looks at it.

“You can read it as a terrorist manual or you can read it as comedy,” he said.

The two said reading the documents felt eerie because some of the weapon techniques described were used in recent bombings like the Boston Marathon.

Despite the content, Bennett and Smith hope a publisher will pick up the work because of the anticipation surrounding its release.

Charles Cannon, coorganizer of the Burroughs Century celebration, said Burroughs will gain fans as more of his works are published.

“His living legacy isn’t over yet,” Cannon said.

“We have to push past the boundaries we are familiar and comfortable with and go into territory that makes us a little bit nervous.”

P.Q. Phan, composer and librettist for â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Tale of Lady Thi Kihn.â&#x20AC;? Phan, 52, was born in Da Nang, Vietnam.

life bringing one of his favorite stories to life in America.

Phan, 52, was born in Da Nang, Vietnam, where he grew up around hat chèo, a style of satirical musical theater that families perform during the off-season of farming to make extra money. One of the performances he loved was of the folktale â&#x20AC;&#x153;Quan Am Thi Kinh.â&#x20AC;? It tells the story of The Tale of Lady Thi Kinh, a young woman who endures multiple struggles before making an extreme decision that leads her to Nirvana.

It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until he came to the U.S. in 1982 and started studying Western opera that he truly appreciated hat chèo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The farther you go away, the more you want to look back where you originally came from,â&#x20AC;? Phan said.

He had hesitated to translate â&#x20AC;&#x153;Quan Am The Tale of Lady Thi Kinhâ&#x20AC;? for almost 30

years since the idea came to him, but in April 2008, he finally felt ready.

Because of his emotional attachment to and knowledge of the folktale, Phan served as the librettist, even though composers often hire someone else to write the script.

Waking up at 3 a.m., 15 days in a row, Phan translated the folktale and added original material to help it better suit an American audience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you love something so much in the original form, you have tremendous respect for it,â&#x20AC;? Phan said of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Quan Am Thi Kinh.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I waited until I knew I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put shame to the original version.â&#x20AC;?

The end result was a 49page libretto, a more than 300page music score and a 115 minute-long opera, featuring five minutes of Vietnamese singing.

He worked to preserve Vietnamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hat chèo culture, but also adapt the piece to Western opera traditions,

wanting the piece to be appreciated for its universal messages of love, compassion and selfishnessâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;not because of its exoticism. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The story has a universal meaning,â&#x20AC;? Phan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Vietnamese essence is only a bonus.â&#x20AC;?

THE ACTS After IU approved the production in December 2011 and Phan made his final changes, he could relinquish the lead. But just as he was able to relax, the stage, costume, light and various other directors got to work.

Both stage director Vince Liotta and conductor Effron had been to Vietnam before, and because of their admiration for the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s culture, they were both enthusiastic about the opera from the start.

But more than the operaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story line, Effron said he was excited to work with something new. He has conducted more than 100 operas around the world, including a majority of the classic operas, and to him, the most exciting operas are those that have never before been done. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Conducting something new brings a sense of excitement because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a whole different experience,â&#x20AC;? Effron said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no tradition behind it.â&#x20AC;?

Just as Effron will be the first conductor to lead the opera, Ballman will become the Western worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first Thi Kinh.

When Ballman emerged through the bamboo panels for the first time at the dress rehearsal, where Phan saw magic, Liotta saw a small error. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s do that again,â&#x20AC;? Liotta called out in the middle of Ballmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aria. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not get lost back there.â&#x20AC;?

She turned around and passed back through the panels to redo the scene, familiar with the drill.

Ballman, a mezzo-soprano, received her bachelor of music in voice from South Dakota State University, completed her masters in music and voice at IU and is currently working toward a Ph.D. She has played parts in more than 10 operas and performed a small part in a small-scale world premiere of a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opera, but tonight will be her first major premiere.

When she got the role in September 2013, she said she was excited at first. But once she started looking into the music, she realized it was very different from that in Western operas.

She said she realized the score would be â&#x20AC;&#x153;the most difficult music to learn in her entire life,â&#x20AC;? especially because the opera has never been done before. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Its daunting to be the first because I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have anything from the past to go on,â&#x20AC;? Ballman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have something solid to grasp on â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kinda your own baby.

With nine other cast members, four â&#x20AC;&#x153;friends,â&#x20AC;? 37 choral members and 60 students in IUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Philharmonic

Orchestra, Ballman is among a large group of music students working together on what will be many of their first world premieres.

Though IU opera directors today have many talented students from whom to choose, it hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always been this way.

When Bain found himself lacking musicians for his first opera production, Jacques Offenbachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Tales of Hoffman,â&#x20AC;? in 1948, he commissioned his wife to seek orchestra members and choristers from the local A&P supermarket. During the first few years of the program, it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t uncommon for faculty to play roles.

Much has changed in the past 66 years.

Ballman is one of 190 students pursuing a degree in voice in the Jacobs School of Music, a school that has sent 35 alumni to the roster of what is considered the most prestigious opera house, the Metropolitan Opera in New York City.

The most any other institution around the world has sent is about 25.

Though Ballman has been singing since her dad started giving her voice lessons at a young age, she said she still gets the jitters before performances. But when the curtain rises tonight, she said she knows sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be ready. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to lie â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m freaking out about it,â&#x20AC;? Ballman said a week before the performance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not ready right now for the curtain to go up, but I know by Friday, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be fine.â&#x20AC;?

THE FINALE At the end of the dress rehearsal, after all 51 cast members laced together a gentle harmony of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nam Mo A Di Da Phat,â&#x20AC;? a Vietnamese phrase that roughly translates to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Halleluljah,â&#x20AC;? Phan stood up.

The performers hesitated with uncertainty as to what to do, some bowing and others exiting the stage, but Phan stood still, the only one in a room full of about 50 people, giving his cast a standing ovation.

He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sit down until well into the encore.

When students, locals and opera critics funnel into the MAC tonight, Phan said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be watching them through the doors â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think anything about the experience will feel real to him until then.

But he said he feels ecstatic now, and because of his love of the music and story, he thinks heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll feel equally incredible on opening night.

As for what he hopes audience members feel after the event, he said he isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t asking for a lot â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he thinks expecting the audience to admire his work is too much. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my job to write an opera to impress people,â&#x20AC;? Phan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want people to find one character they can root for and to remember one tune. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what makes a piece live forever.â&#x20AC;?
