When college basketball’s 2012 recruiting classes were finalized, a great debate between Indiana’s preeminent basketball rivals was sparked.

IU and Purdue each signed one of the Hoosier State’s top two point guard recruits, with Kevin “Yogi” Ferrell committing to IU and Ronnie Johnson signing to play for Purdue.

Since their commitments, the two Indianapolis natives have fueled a now two-year argument between Hoosiers and Boilermakers about which player is best.

Both players graduated as top-100 national recruits, as ranked by recruiting service Rivals.com, though the service gave Ferrell the edge as the state’s No. 1 point guard. The Park Tudor School graduate was rated the country’s No. 19 overall player — No. 2 in Indiana. Johnson, out of North Central High School, was ranked No. 94 in the nation and No. 7 in the state.

On Signing Day for the class of 2012, IU Coach Tom Crean heaped praise on his newlysigned point guard.

“Yogi is a great floor leader who has the ability to make others better and get his own shot,” Crean said Nov. 10, 2011. “More than anything, he is a proven year-round winner.”

In announcing his college decision on an IndyStar.com video, Johnson lauded Purdue Coach Matt Painter and his staff on making Purdue a fit for him.

“I like Purdue a lot, and I like the coaching staff,” he said in May 2011. “I thought I just saw a better opportunity for me to just go and play.”

Since their commitments, the two now-sophomore guards have recorded almost identical career averages, with Ferrell earning a slight advantage in points, assists and 3-point shooting.

His line of 11.6 points, 2.9 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game is similar to that of Johnson, which comes in at 10.4 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game.

Statistically, the two are separable by only 3-point shooting percentage — Ferrell’s 39 percent being well ahead of Johnson’s 26 percent — and team performance.

Crean’s Signing Day quip about Ferrell has proved to be accurate. The 6-foot sophomore has started every one of IU’s 60 games in the last two seasons, with IU winning 43 of those and reaching the Sweet Sixteen in the 2013 NCAA Tournament.

This season, he has stepped up from his fifth-option role on last year’s preseason No. 1-ranked team to become the Hoosiers’ most reliable scorer, averaging a Big Ten-leading 18.5 points per game.

Crean said his point guard’s transformation to a first-option scorer is a result of his work ethic.

“He is a tremendous worker and a tremendous player,” he said in a Tuesday press conference. “He continues to work at it at a very high level.

He wants to be a great player, and he really wants to be a great leader. When you work that hard and when you want to win that bad, you can’t help but get better and better.

And that’s exactly what he is doing.”

By comparison, Purdue has compiled a 30-28 record during Johnson’s tenure in West Lafayette, missing the NCAA

MEN’S BASKETBALL (14-10) at Purdue (14-10) 4 p.m., Saturday, West Lafayette Tournament and falling to Santa Clara during the second round of the College Basketball Invitational last year.

The two Indianapolis point guards will spark the debate once again Saturday when Ferrell’s Hoosiers travel to West Lafayette looking for a third consecutive victory against Johnson’s Boilermakers.

A win against Purdue would snap a two-game losing streak for IU. Ferrell said the Hoosiers, himself especially, must improve their mental approach to the game to escape their struggles.

“We’ve just got to get more intelligent on our team, I feel like,” he said. “It starts, of course, with me and (senior forward Will Sheehey). Always does. We’re the front-runners for that.”

Vonleh, Hammons to battle under the basket

BY JOHN BAUERNFEIND jogbauer@indiana.edu

On Saturday, freshman forward Noah Vonleh, the Big Ten’s leading rebounder, will challenge Purdue’s A.J. Hammons, Big Ten leader in blocks per game.

Vonleh and the IU men’s basketball team (14-10, 4-7) lead the Big Ten in rebounding margin per game, out-rebounding their opponents by 10.5 boards per game.

Purdue leads the conference in blocked shots per game with 5.5 and in offensive rebounds per game with 14.6.

Needless to say, Vonleh and Hammons are the core

reasons why their teams have found success on the glass this season.

Vonleh averages 9.6 rebounds per game, while pulling down an average of 2.6 offensive rebounds per game.

Hammons, meanwhile, grabs an average of 7.4 rebounds per game, 2.5 of which come on the offensive glass.

Undoubtedly, this will be one of the matchups to watch when the two are pitted against one another.

Vonleh has a nose for the basketball, Purdue Coach Matt Painter said during the Big Ten teleconference call Monday.

“Well he’s a really good

player, obviously,” Painter said.

“He can really rebound the basketball. He does a good job of having a good nose for the basketball.”

This season, Vonleh averages 11.5 points per game to Hammons’ 10.9. Vonleh shoots the ball slightly better than Hammons does from the field, shooting 54.2 percent compared to Hammons’ 50.6 percent.

Both players struggled in their most recent games.

Against Penn State, Vonleh was double-teamed regularly, causing him to commit three turnovers in the game.

And though he was two points shy of his 11th double-

double of the season, Vonleh attempted only three shots Wednesday.

After his team lost to Penn State, IU Coach Tom Crean said turnovers, especially late in the game, were inexcusable.

“The turnovers, there is no excuse,” Crean said. “The only way we’ll be able to get better is to come back and get better.

So that’s all we can do.”

Hammons committed five turnovers against Ohio State Feb. 8. For Purdue to be a successful team, Painter said Hammons needs to cut down on his turnovers.

“When he shoots on balance shots and takes his time and let’s things come to him

he’s pretty effective,” Painter said of Hammons’s 11 point, seven rebound performance at Ohio State. “But I mean, he’s had too many turnovers.

“He’s gotta do a better job of giving us a chance as a team if he’s gonna get the ball that much.”

Vonleh and Hammons are listed at 6-foot-10, 240 pounds and 7 foot, 251 pounds, respectively.

And as other Big Ten foe double-team and collapse on them, look for two of the Big Ten’s biggest players to be matched up one-on-one with each other.

Painter said Vonleh is a difficult player to

prepare for, both offensive and defensively, because of his athleticism and mobility on both ends of the court.

“But when he gets the ball in scoring position and he’s active, he really gives them that dimension that they need on both ends of the court,” Painter said. “He’s a tough matchup because of his quickness and athleticism.

You see his real ability, especially on the defensive end, when they have the confidence to put him on someone like (Michigan’s) Glenn Robinson and move his feet and chase him around the court, that really speaks volumes about his mobility.”

Girl, 17, reports to police she was raped FROM IDS REPORTS

Bloomington police received a report Wednesday from Child Protective Services of a juvenile rape.

A 17-year-old girl reported to CPS that her then-boyfriend raped her when she was 13 years old.

Jurisdiction is uncertain at this time, Bloomington Police Department Sgt. Joe Crider said.

A forensic interview is scheduled to take place at Susie’s Place.

Local authorities commonly refer to Susie’s Place when minors are involved in abuse cases.

Susie’s Place specializes in professional interviewing of minors to determine whether or not abuse or neglect has occurred, which can produce evidence for further investigation.

No vote for HJR 3 in November

BY MICHAEL AUSLEN mauslen@indiana.edu

All it took to keep a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage off the November ballot was for the Indiana Senate to do nothing.

And nothing is exactly what the Senate did.

When the full Senate votes on HJR 3, it will do so without the controversial second sentence, the one which banned civil unions and any “legal status identical or substantially similar to that of marriage” in Indiana. This shorter version is the same one the House of Representatives passed two weeks ago, but it isn’t the one the General Assembly approved in 2011.

Amending the Indiana constitution requires three things: approval by the House and Senate, that same approval after legislators have been

reelected and support from voters.

Although the old HJR 3 had been supported by the General Assembly prior to the last election, the language change was significant enough that it is as though only the current lawmakers have had the opportunity to vote on it.

Now, the earliest it could possibly be in the hands of Hoosier voters is November 2016 — if the Senate passes it this session and the next General Assembly agrees.

Thursday’s session, the second reading for HJR 3, could only be used to offer amendments. The final vote will take place at a later date, possibly as early as next week.

IU has been a vocal opponent of the amendment since the fall.

Primarily, the University has campaigned against the second sentence, which administrators said could interfere with a policy that grants same-sex domestic partners

health benefits. Even before the second sentence was eliminated, HJR 3’s supporters said that would not be a problem.

Yet Mark Land, IU associate vice president for university communications, said the University is considering the removal of the sentence and the delay of a referendum a victory.

“The overriding goal would remain the same,” Land said. “We would like to see this thing defeated as a whole. That second sentence was problematic, though.”

The Indiana Family Institute, one of the primary in-state organizations supporting HJR 3, was contacted but could not be reached for comment.

On Thursday, three amendments to HJR 3 were initially filed, although none were proposed in session.

As the afternoon’s session was

beginning in the Senate Chamber, Sen. Mike Depth, R-Carmel, sent a tweet. Delph had filed an amendment that would reinsert the second sentence.

“HJR 3’s second sentence is officially dead in the 2014 IGA,” the tweet read. “Not enough support to reinsert it on 2nd reading.”

Less than half an hour later, Delph’s Twitter premonition had come true, as the Senate was adjourned and the 10-year effort to define heterosexual marriage in Indiana’s constitution was put off for another two years at least.

“Marriage,” HJR 3 reads now.

“Provides that only marriage between one man and one woman shall be valid or recognized as a marriage in Indiana.”

Congested crosswalk leads to pedestrian petition

BY JAVONTE ANDERSON ja69@indiana.edu

Between classes, a swarm of students scurry across the pedestrian crosswalk on 10th Street between the Kelley School of Business and Herman B Wells Library.

The crowd creates its own kind of traffic jam, making it hard for vehicles to pass.

This prompted sophomore Jesse Louden to start a petition asking to build a pedestrian bridge over 10th Street between Kelley and Wells Library.

Louden addressed his petition to Thomas Morrison, IU’s vice president of capital planning and facilities, pleading him to build the pedestrian bridge to alleviate traffic.

He said he was required to create an online petition for his “Telecommunications 101: Media Life” class.

“I just wanted the students to get involved in something,” said Amy Gonzales, assistant professor in the Department of SEE WALKWAY, PAGE 4 HALEY WARD | IDS

Faculty group revisits plan for emergency preparedness

BY KATHRINE SCHULZE schulzek@indiana.edu

Recent school shootings and treacherous weather have IU administrators focusing on campus safety.

The Bloomington Faculty Council and the Office of Emergency Management and Continuity discussed the facility, security and safety master plan last week, which is currently in development.

In 2010, a new emergency management and continuity planning department was created at IU. That works to better prepare the school for a variety of emergency scenarios, from school shooting to severe weather.

Coming up short Penn State’s Maggie Lucas spoils IU’s upset bid

BY SAM BEISHUIZEN sbeishui@indiana.edu

The IU women’s basketball gave No. 11 Penn State a scare late Thursday night, but senior guard Maggie Lucas and the Nittany Lions proved to be too much for the Hoosiers, defeating IU 71-63.

Lucas started the game on a 7-0 run en route to a game-high 32 points on 10-for-16 shooting. While the Hoosiers struggled to score in the closing minutes, Lucas scored Penn State’s final seven points to squander IU’s hopes of an upset.

IU Coach Curt Miller credited Lucas’ performance down the stretch as being the difference in the game.

“There’s a lot of good players on that team and without her tonight having a monster game, we may have pulled the upset,” Miller said. “You gotta give her credit. She wanted the ball and she made big, big shots. She did

what we weren’t always capable of doing tonight.”

IU (17-7, 4-7) stormed out of halftime, rattling off a 10-0 run to claim a 41-37 lead with about 16 minutes remaining in the game.

Penn State (19-5, 10-2) had a 10-point lead with two minutes and 38 seconds left in the game, but the Hoosiers began to force turnovers and went on a 6-0 run.

Freshman guard Larryn Brooks forced Penn State’s Ariel Edwards into turning the ball over with 53 seconds remaining.

Brooks missed a layup attempt, but senior forward Simone Deloach gathered the rebound and converted a layup while getting fouled to bring the Hoosiers within four points.

Deloach went to the free throw line with a chance to bring IU within one possession, but failed to convert on the free throw.

App tracks sexual behavior

Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of the social news site Reddit.com, gives an inspirational talk to promote his new book “Without Their Permission” at the Indiana Memorial Union on Thursday.

Co-founder of Reddit now investor, advisor

BY GRACE PALMIERI gpalmier@indiana.edu

Alexis Ohanian is on a mission to “make the world suck less.”

The co-founder of Reddit and now-investor and advisor for more than 70 start-ups spoke to more than 200 IU students Thursday in Alumni Hall at the Indiana Memorial Union about how they can join him.

A year after graduating from the University of Virginia, Ohanian started Reddit, the popular social news and entertainment website.

Most recently, he has become the bestselling author of “Without Their Permission,” a book about Internet entrepreneurship in which he tells his story as well as those of others that have inspired him.

“Go forth and suck,” Ohanian said. “Sucking is the first step to being sort of good at something. No one actually knows what they’re doing because life is not a paint by number.”

Ohanian is currently on a tour of 200 events across the country and will visit a total of 77 universities.

Back in August, an IU student found that Ohanian had posted on the sub-Reddit page for IU about coming to the University as a part of his book tour.

The Informatics and Computing Student Association and Union Board teamed up to the plan the event and it has been underway ever since.

“The great thing about Union Board being able to put on an event like this is we’re really tapping into a key audience of students who maybe haven’t really found their niche place on campus, if they aren’t a part of the Greek system, if they aren’t super involved in student organizations,” Union Board member Aamena Ansari said. “Really, the Internet is a place to flock to to find yourself and to learn so much about the world around you.”

Ohanian said he hopes students will use the Internet to its maximum potential because it has so much to offer the millenial generation.

“This is the time to be trying new things — shipping and launching and failing — because no one’s looking,” he said.

Ohanian is now an ambassador for Y Combinator, the digital entrepreneur company that helped him get his start.

He said there is no better time to start acting on ideas than as a student.

“You’re not just another history major,” he said.

“You’re a history major who’s launched three kickstarter campaigns. That’s real stuff that you can start doing right now.”

Rachel Shinn, student ambassador for ICSA, said she hopes Ohanian’s visit will help students to realize that was he has done is possible for anyone here at IU. “IU has so many talented students and I’m positive

that some of them have great ideas,” she said. “It would be awesome if someone’s idea is turned into a reality with the help of Alexis.”

At the end of the event, Ohanian was joined on stage

by Mike Trotzke, who started SproutBox. SproutBox is based out of Bloomington and is a business focused on investing in startup companies.

As entrepreneurs who invest in and also provide resources for entrepreneurs to take action on their ideas, Ohanian and Trotzke served as inspiration to the students who attended.

“Try anything even, if you think it’s going to fail, because you really don’t know how it’s going to do,” IU student Alexis Baker said.

Ohanian is an example of what can happen with the freedom of the Internet and all the technology around us. He said he wanted to persuade students to use the resources they have to put themselves out there and have their ideas heard.

“The Internet means so much to us — not just culturally or economically, on so many levels,” Ohanian said.

“These are the skills that are going to make you not only someone I want to invest in, but someone I want to hire.”

This Valentine’s Day the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction is asking big questions through a smartphone app called Kinsey Reporter.

Kinsey Reporter allows users to report and view anonymous data on sexual behavior on a global scale.

“We’re taking advantage of this little app to see how people feel about Valentine’s Day and what the reality is for people’s experience,” said Jennifer Bass, Kinsey Institute director of communications.

The survey contains questions about what the user desires and expects for Valentine’s Day. Answer options include commitment, a romantic date, to be left alone and sex.

When Valentine’s Day ends, users have the option to record what actually happened.

The Kinsey Institute collaborated with the Center for Complex Networks and Systems Research to create the app.

After the Kinsey

The Board of Trustees met Thursday at IU-Purdue University Indianapolis, covering a wide range of topics including a presentation on the new academic directions of IU. Vice President for University Academic Affairs John Applegate, Provost Lauren Robel and IUPUI Chancellor Charles R. Bantz presented the new academic directions results to the Board of Trustees.

The Academic Directions initiative has produced strategic and focused changes on an unprecedented scale in the academic landscape of the institution’s core campuses at IU-Bloomington and IUPUI, University administrators said at the meeting.

The committee’s report, which came out in April 2011, included many recommendations to improve the school including recommending investing strategically in existing and new programs.

Mark Land, associate vice president of public affairs and government relations, said the presentation showed the various goals and objectives of the new academic directions had been met.

The School of Global and International Studies, the School of Public HealthBloomington and the new Media School were all results of the Academic Directions initiative.

The initiative was created in early 2011 in response to President McRobbie’s call for targeted investments to achieve academic excellence and improved efficiency, innovation and collaboration.

“New Academic Directions has produced dramatic changes in the academic structure and operation of Indiana University’s core campuses,” IU President Michael McRobbie said in a press release.

“The decisions we have made as a result of this report will position the university to respond effectively to the demands being placed on higher education in a new century. The outstanding and strategic work carried out by faculty and administrators will benefit the university for many years to come.”

The meeting will continue on Friday.

For example, there is no way to create an account asking for personal information, write your own response to questions or report specific places and times.

“I thought the app was really good because it lets you survey a larger group of people,” sophomore Emilee Bailey said.

“It allows people to be more honest, in my opinion, since it is in private.”

Data collected by the Kinsey Reporter is viewable by anyone. Users can view the data by organizing it into charts or graphs by top countries, cities or tags.

It was the first time Bailey heard of a survey app of this kind, she said.

However, she would like to see more expansion on the questions aside from the generic ones, she said.

“Valentine’s Day is coming, and we really want to know what is happening in people’s lives. When I say ‘we want to know’ I don’t mean ‘we’ the researchers,” Menczer said.

“I mean there is an interest for the community to learn more about what people desire and want.”

Students gather to bake cookies for the homeless

BY CLAIRE WAGGONER waggonec@indiana.edu

A group of IU students gathered around the center counter in the kitchen of St. Paul’s Catholic Center Thursday night, icing heartshaped cookies and singing Disney songs.

These students weren’t there to practice their vocal technique, though — they were there to bake and ice over 140 cookies for the Interfaith Winter Shelter.

“It’s really nice to help do something like this for others,” freshman Alicia Mehling said. “This is our act of kindness for the shelter.”

The Interfaith Winter Shelter is a low-barrier shelter that various churches in the Bloomington area host one or two nights a week.

The shelter aims to provide food and shelter to the homeless and relies on a large number of volunteers like the students from St.

Trustees discuss academic plans FROM IDS REPORTS

Reporter’s initial launch in 2012, CNetS Director Filippo Menczer said, it was shut down by the University for legal review concerning privacy issues.

The mobile app was launched again last May with bugs, which were then remedied.

Updates were installed

by November.

The Kinsey App maps out the data it collects, available for public viewing.

As well as sexual activity and flirting, users can report unwanted or unconsenting experiences in the app.

“Obviously we encourage rape to be reported, but we also know it’s highly unreported,” Menczer said.

The Kinsey Reporter app acts as a tool for people who are less likely to report such cases, he said.

“There are also other acts which are not illegal, depending on the country,” Menczer said.

“We want to know about those as well. Our app is designed from the ground up to assure the anonymity of all the participants.”

Several design choices were made with this in mind, Menczer said.

Paul’s to help out each night.

The cookie baking project was spearheaded by IU junior Kailyn Haverstock.

After getting a group together to make soup for the shelter last semester, she said it felt natural to do something for the guests for Valentine’s Day. “A lot of us here are involved with the shelter,” she said. “The people at the shelter have become like family to us.”

When she came up with the idea to bake cookies for Interfaith, Haverstock said she got in touch with Michael Fabrizio, the assistant campus minister at St. Paul’s.

He said he thought the idea was great and that he just had to make sure the kitchen wasn’t being used by one of the families that attend the church.

“We really focus on students peer-ministering, and we really had a nice turnout tonight,” he said. “It’s great to

have people here wanting to help others.”

Junior Jasmine Galvez said she often volunteers at the shelter with Kailyn, but has never baked for it before.

She said she loves going to the shelter because it allows her to give back.

“Being able to give the guests something to show that they’re loved is an awesome feeling,” she said.

Haverstock agreed and said interacting with the guests at the shelter was the most important aspect of volunteering.

“Knowing that someone cares and is listening to them really brightens their moods,” she said.

The shelter was hosted at the First Christian Church on Kirkwood Avenue.

“We all form relationships with the guests at the shelter,” Haverstock said.

“And it’s amazing how many people jumped onto this cookie-baking project.”

Celebrating the

New Year

PHOTO STORY BY AMELIA CHONG | aychong@indiana.edu

The night was called, in Mandarin, “ma nian chun wan,” directly translated as “spring night in the horse year,” but correctly defined as “spring festival gala.” On Feb. 7, throngs of students, faculty and Bloomington residents poured into the IU Auditorium to celebrate the Lunar New Year, in the annual event organized by the IU Chinese Students and Scholars Association.

The event focused on the fact and sentiment that many students are away from their families during

SPRING FESTIVAL PHOTO COVERAGE See the complete photo gallery at idsnews.com. this important time of the year. With 3,078 Chinese students currently enrolled at IU, the annual Spring Festival celebrations draw large crowds.

Attendees were offered a taste of Chinese culture in the form of cuisine catered from various restaurants, as well as performances that included dances

and comedic sketches.

Today is the last day of the New Year celebrations, also called “yuan xiao jie,” or Lantern Festival. Lantern Festival this year coincides with Valentine’s Day; it will take 19 years for this to happen again. Today, members of Bloomington’s Chinese population will gather to feast on “tang yuan,” or sticky rice balls filled with peanut or black sesame paste.

D-Force dancers work on hair and make-up backstage before their performance, “Tao Yao,” roughly translated to “tender peach.”“Tao yao” is based on an ancient Chinese poem that expresses the beauty and desire of a young Chinese woman at the suitable age for marriage.

Plastic cut-outs of the Chinese word “fu” decorate ceilings and light fixtures in the auditorium. “Fu” stands for happiness, good fortune and blessing. During the Lunar New Year, depictions of “fu” are mounted upside down in Chinese homes around the world to symbolize the ushering in of prosperity.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “The plans are not specific to individual hazards, to specific hazards,” Mark Bruhn, associate vice president of public safety and institutional assurance, said at the Bloomington Faculty Council meeting Feb. 4.

“So, while we do spend a little bit more time on tornadoes and have spent a little bit more time over the last year and a half on active shooters, the plans are designed to address all hazards. That is, they’re flexible enough to sort of amoebalike change.”

The department follows the federal framework for emergency preparedness, Bruhn said at the meeting.

By organizing the department under federal guidelines, it’s easier for IU responders and city responders to work together in a crisis situation, Bruhn said.

“They all use the same terminology, they all use the same practices, the same operating procedures, and if there has to be joint command — one from the fire department at Bloomington and one from campus — they know how to speak to each other, and so all of that is coordinated,” Bruhn said.

Staff training for emergency situations has three stages: a workshop that goes through every scenario, a table top exercise in which they run through a specific scenario and a larger, handson exercise.

“You can imagine, a campus this size, if we’re going to have anything of significance in the exercise that is something that would test sort of all the moving parts adequately, it has to be a pretty large production,” Bruhn said.

“We have to have theater and drama students with bottles of ketchup, and it has to be as realistic as we can make it while people still know that it’s going to happen, right?”

These sorts of exercises are less frequent because of the amount of planning it takes to coordinate such a training event, Bruhn said.

In addition to training some staff members in emergency preparedness, each building that has academic classrooms or offices with 10 or more people in it has an emergency control committee.

“We’re really trying to build the partnerships so that those folks are empowered to be more involved for any kind of an emergency incident that may occur within their building,” said Debbi Fletcher, IU-Bloomington director for emergency management and continuity, at the meeting.

The facility, security and safety master plan, which was discussed at the meeting, will work through the physical security aspects in buildings on every IU campus.

“We look at new technology, new methods and new information all the time so we can make sure we are giving the best information in the most effective and efficient manner possible,” Fletcher said.

One change they are considering is installing locks so classrooms lock from the inside, an idea tested at Ballantine Hall when locks were installed in almost every classroom door.

The locks in Ballantine have been installed over the past couple of months, Fletcher said.

Bruhn said it cost $380,000 to put locks in.

While an emphasis is put on faculty training, it’s just as important for students to keep themselves informed individually on what to do in any type of emergency situation, whether it’s a fire, an active shooter or a tornado, Fletcher said.

“We spend a lot of time and effort to make sure our campus is prepared, no matter what happens,” she said.

“It’s important that students do their part to make sure they know what they can do.”

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “If we make that foul shot, it’s a one possession game,” Miller said, “and we all see what can happen in close games in this building.”

Lucas went 4-for-4 from the free throw line and freshman guard Alexis Gassion missed a 3-point attempt in the final minute, allowing the Nittany Lions to hold on for the win.

Brooks said IU got open looks from beyond the arc all night.

Penn State’s length in the frontcourt forced IU to attack from the perimeter, but the Hoosiers could not convert enough. IU shot 8-for34 from beyond the arc and missed its final nine 3-point attempts.

“We didn’t really get to where we needed to be at the end in the closing minutes,” Brooks said. “That’s just on us.”

One bright spot for IU was Deloach’s performance.

She finished with her second consecutive doubledouble with 13 points and 15 rebounds.

Despite this being a class assignment, Louden said he believes the crosswalk issue warrants attention from IU’s administration.

“I think the project was actually a very good catalyst for something that needs to be done,” Louden said.

“The traffic generated by the crosswalk is godawful.”

Morrison said there are other issues to consider before constructing a pedestrian bridge.

“Overhead bridges are expensive. If students knew they would end up paying for it, I’m sure their impressions might be different,” Morrison said. “An overhead bridge is a major capital expenditure that would costs several million dollars.”

were what kept IU within striking distance of Penn State despite IU shooting a dismal 29.7 percent from the floor in the first half.

“Another great game for Simone,” Miller said. “At halftime she had eight rebounds. I said you can get 15 tonight — she did.”

Miller said he was disappointed IU was not able to pull off the upset of Big

Ten-leading Penn State because he said it could have gone a long way towards earning an NCAA Tournament berth.

At the end of the day, the Achilles’ heel for the Hoosiers ended up being a problem that has haunted the young Hoosier team all season.

IU couldn’t score the baskets it needed to make

down the stretch.

“We didn’t make some of the shots (we) needed to make to beat a team that talented,” Miller said. “We wanted this one. We needed a signature win — we wanted it and we just came up short.”

understands there may be difficulties in constructing a pedestrian bridge, but he still feels a need to publicize this issue because his frustrations are shared by many of his peers.

“I know I’m not the only one,” he said. “Even if it’s not structurally feasible, at least have them be aware of how crappy the traffic is.”

Although Gonzales said her primary reason for assigning her students an online petition assignment is to teach them concepts pertinent to the course, she said she believes this particular assignment can stimulate students’ awareness outside of the classroom.

She said she wants students to be aware of how they can potentially make a difference in the community around them.

Morrison maintained there are consequences to

be analyzed with any major construction project. He said his foremost concern is the safety of pedestrians.

“The people in cars get the impression they can drive faster if the crosswalk isn’t there,” he said.

“We know that even if a bridge was built there, students would still cross on the ground because it’s the quickest.”

IU’s efforts to improve traffic safety intensified in 2009, when a student died after being struck by a car while crossing Fee Lane.

The tragedy prompted Karen Hanson, former provost and executive vice president to create a task force on traffic safety.

Pedestrian crosswalks were installed in March 2010.

“At that time, the concern was that traffic was moving too fast, and how do

you provide safe harbor for students crossing streets?”

Morrison said.

Morrison said he is concerned about any effort that can potentially speed up vehicular traffic again.

“Naturally, we would have a concern of trying to speed up traffic, because that was the consequence of the time,” he said. “We don’t want to see any tragic accidents.”

In spite of Morrison’s many concerns, he said he remains receptive to suggestions that can reduce students’ frustration.

“If there are ways we can make things better — short of a major capital expense — then that’s what we want to do,” he said.

WAR OF WORDS HOOPS WITH HOOP

GUEST COLUMN

Purdue, say goodbye to Sheehey

Indiana and Purdue are more similar than you want to admit

Purdue fans, meet senior forward Will Sheehey.

I guess I don’t need to introduce the two of you. You probably know him quite well. He’s the guy who has averaged 12 points a game in six career contests against Purdue.

And when IU (14-10, 4-7) travels to West Lafayette to play Purdue (14-10, 4-7) at 4 p.m. Saturday he’s the Hoosier who will reach an IU milestone.

Sheehey has scored 999 points in his career. His next bucket will make him the 47th Hoosier to reach the 1,000 points club. That will give IU one more member of the 1,000 points club than Purdue has.

Just another edge IU basketball has on Purdue basketball.

There’s no reason to mention the comparison of NCAA national championship banners (five to none), final fours (eight to two) or NBA draft picks (73 to 44). That’d just be beating a dead horse.

There’s also no reason to mention that in the last 24 games, IU has gone 16-8 against Purdue. And that’s even with the Boilermakers getting the benefit of playing those post Kelvin Sampsonera teams.

IU has won four straight against Purdue. Last year in the two games against Boilermakers the Hoosiers beat them by a combined 65 points.

Woof. Wow. Jeez. Holy smokes.

I can’t think of any more newspaper-friendly exclamations to express the complete dominance the Hoosiers had over the Boilermakers last season.

This season the two teams come in with identical records but very different futures.

On the one hand, IU has proven it can beat anybody in the country — see No. 3 Wisconsin and No. 10 Michigan — and proven it can lose to anybody — see Northwestern and Penn State.

This IU team is as inconsistent as that Plinko game on “Price Is Right.” Sometimes they come out gangbusters, and sometimes they come out and fall flat on their face.

But there is no denying the gobs of young talent that just needs more time to grow and improve.

EVAN HOOPFER is a junior majoring in journalism.

On the other hand — Purdue is just bad.

The Boilermakers best conference win was at home against Minnesota. And it took them only three overtimes and an injured Andre Hollins to win.

Naturally, Purdue fans get a little grumpy about being second fiddle, and their little brother inferiority complex rears its head as ugly as Purdue Pete when IU comes to Mackey Arena.

And that brings us back to Sheehey. The “Paint Crew” harassed and made its personal mission last year to torment Sheehey.

And I get it. He’s cocky.

Sometimes he’s arrogant. But most of all, as the janitor from “Scrubs” would say, “He’s so.

Damn. Talented.”

In other words — he’s a Hoosier.

So boo him. Torment him.

Try and make his life miserable. But Sheehey is not as much as a “bad boy” as he’s been in years past. He’s tamer and less emotional.

But I hope he reignites that Sheehey swagger for this game. Remember last year what he did after he drove the lane, got fouled and made the basket?

Oh, you had already left Mackey Arena because of the 37-point beat down? Let me fill you in on what happened.

Sheehey ate up the boos. He pounded his chest and flexed for the Purdue students.

That flex was 40,000 Bloomington natives strong.

Sheehey will graduate next year. The “Paint Crew” can find new Hoosiers to hate.

But it doesn’t matter.

You can take the Sheehey out of IU, but you’ll never take the swagger out of Indiana.

And “This is Indiana,” dammit.

Score prediction: IU — a lot, Purdue — much less, Sheehey flexes — hopefully at least four times Evan Hoopfer is 9-6 in his predictions this year.

COLIN MAIRET is a sports editor at the Purdue Exponent.

I quote Avi Zaleon, the author of the IDS column that ran two years ago, which was the last time the Exponent and the IDS traded opinions in preparation for this rivalry game.

Purdue had recently earned a share of a Big Ten title and reached two Sweet Sixteens in three years, but Zaleon decided Indiana’s storied history and banners were more impressive.

For example, everyone knows you don’t make banners for Sweet Sixteen finishes.

“Well, Purdue wasn’t able to capture a banner,” Zaleon wrote. “Do they make banners for Sweet Sixteen finishes? If so, you can hang a pair in Mackey Arena for those two years.”

No, they don’t make banners for that. But apparently, in Bloomington, they forge rings to commemorate them. I’ll get to that later.

First, conference championships and Big Ten Tournament crowns should be a source of pride.

“Congrats. Now name me the teams that won either of those feats 15, 10 or five years ago,” Zaleon wrote. “Regular season accolades come and go, but national champions live forever. They are the reasons for reunions, they earn banners, they’re what history remembers.”

I bring this up not to disparage Zaleon, but to illustrate the journey Indiana has taken during the past two years since our last column exchange.

For those unaware, Indiana earned another banner in our two years apart. No, not a national championship, but rather one of those silly Big Ten titles that no one will remember in five years.

In fact, seemingly realizing how forgettable the feat was, Indiana decided to create a separate banner for this Big Ten title instead of tacking it on to their existing conference banner.

Well, at least Indiana made it farther than the

Sweet Sixteen during these past two years.

I distinctly remember reading a Sports Illustrated article declaring Indiana the best team in the country. I also remember them holding the No. 1 ranking for most of the year.

And now that I think about it, I’m pretty sure they had two players drafted in the first five picks in the NBA draft this season.

I mean, Purdue was able to reach back-to-back Sweet Sixteens after losing its best player in consecutive years to ACL injuries. With no bad injuries, what could possibly slow down the talented Hoosiers?

Oh, that’s right, a zone defense could.

But stop — I’m still having trouble figuring out how a No. 1 squad led by Cody Zeller, Victor Oladipo and the mystical powers of “the Movement” was only able to make it to back-to-back Sweet Sixteens.

When Purdue accomplished the same feat without their best player, Zaleon called it the “zenith” of recent Purdue basketball.

He also added the Sweet Sixteen appearance was “the best Boilermaker team Coach Matt Painter is going to have in a long time, and it amounted to hardly anything.”

But when Indiana does the same thing, Terry Hutchens writes the book “Rising from the Ashes: The Return of Indiana University Basketball.” For such a supposed basketball powerhouse, discrediting Purdue’s Sweet Sixteens and then glorifying its own seem a bit hypocritical for Indiana.

Again, I don’t mean to discredit Zaleon or his bold

proclamations, but I think it’s time to offer one of my own. I am positive last year’s Indiana team was the best squad Tom Crean will coach in a very, very long time.

What I’m not sure about, however, is how much the commemorative Sweet Sixteen rings Indiana commissioned will be worth in 40 years.

You can never underestimate how much Hoosier fans value reminiscing on events before they were born.

I now bring you to 2014.

The Boilermaker and Hoosier seasons are in tailspins, with equal records at 1410 (4-7). Neither team will make the NCAA tournament. Both teams will be fortunate to receive an invite to the National Invitation Tournament.

But, you could argue the two equal records are even more meaningful.

Their shared Big Ten losing record symbolizes how similar and equal these programs really are.

Yes, Indiana may have more national championship banners. Yes, Purdue may hold the all-time winning record.

But in the past decade, each program has seen very similar success. Both have won a Big Ten title. Both have reached the Sweet Sixteen in consecutive years.

And both have felt the agony of failure.

And so, here we sit in 2014, with equal records and equal disdain on the season.

Back to square one to write the next 10 years of this historic rivalry of two teams that may just be too similar for some to admit.

Fergus Arthur, a Bloomington North junior on the cross country team, sets off for one of his daily runs. The team works out every day, no matter the weather, to stay in top shape when it comes time to compete.

Ten miles below zero Local high school cross country runners train rigorously, despite extreme weather

BY CHARLES SCUDDER

cscudder@indiana.edu Running through the clawing cold of a surprise snowstorm, the Bloomington High School North boys cross country team tried to stay warm.

School had let out early, so the team split up for its daily workout. This time of year the runners are training mostly with slow runs, 7 to 10 miles each day. But inclement weather can make even an easy run dangerous.

“It was cutting into my eyes, I couldn’t see,” Griffin Tichenor, a junior, said. “It was pretty much ice. It just got so thick.

You couldn’t see 10 feet in front of you.”

He was wearing shorts, his legs burning from snow and ice as he ran laps around Bryan Park. His body had begun focusing blood flow to his core, away from extremities.

As it gets colder, the body relies more on carbohydrates, depleting energy and using water faster.

On the other side of town, near Gladstein Fieldhouse, Fergus Arthur, another BHSN junior, was caught in the same

storm. He was on his own when he realized the snow was so thick he couldn’t see the cars on the road next to him.

“The wind, though,” Fergus said. “It can be negative 5 and no wind is no big thing, but it can be 5 and windy and it bites your face off.”

In the bitter cold of January and the sweltering humidity of August, longdistance runners train all year. They’ll say the offseason is what separates the losers from the winners. This winter has been particularly rough, Coach Charles Warthan said — one of the worst he’s seen.

Yet there’s only been one day this winter when the team opted to run indoors on treadmills.

“I jokingly say if you get cold, pick up the pace,” Warthan said. “It’s a little bit of pride and toughness, as long as it isn’t stupidity.”

So on days like last Tuesday, when the snow was so thick it was hard to keep going straight without slipping, running wasn’t just about staying warm — it was about mental endurance.

In Bryan Park, Griffin’s eyelashes

froze together, his hair was weighed down by thick white snow. After 4 miles, for the only time all year, Griffin decided to ditch the run.

“I was pretty pissed,” he said. “But I couldn’t physically do it because I couldn’t see.”

Meanwhile, Fergus was still out running. Dry sidewalks were now buried under fat snowflakes. His face was so numb he thought he had frostbite.

But he was too far from home. He had to keep going.

The ground was slushy, making it hard to take each stride. Even though he was cold and soaked from the snow by the time he got home, 10 miles later, he was that much more prepared for the next run.

“You just gotta accept your conditions and watch your footing,” Fergus said. “It is as much a physical training as it is a mental training. When I get on the track, it’s like I’ve been there before.”

Women’s basketball team traveling to play Nebraska

BY STUART JACKSON stuajack@indiana.edu

When IU faces Nebraska Sunday, it will be the team’s fifth game against a ranked opponent this season.

In the previous four games, the Hoosier women’s basketball team is just 1-3. But after competing and losing two hard-fought battles to Penn State in the last three weeks, the players said they are confident heading into their road matchup against the Cornhuskers.

“It definitely helps,” senior center Simone Deloach said about IU facing the No. 11 Nittany Lions Thursday. “Our motto is to be fearless, and I think we’re going to bounce

back and compete. Nebraska’s a good team. We just need to stay focused and battle.”

IU will travel to Lincoln, Neb., to face No. 21 Nebraska for the only time in the regular season.

Nebraska defeated Michigan 7668 Thursday in Ann Arbor, Mich. The Cornhuskers have won five straight games since losing to Northwestern on Jan. 26.

Senior forward Jordan Hooper leads Nebraska in scoring at 19.5 points per game. She is also a candidate for the Naismith National Player of the Year Award.

Freshman guard Larryn Brooks leads IU in scoring at 17 points per game. Heading into Thursday’s game against Penn State, she was

seventh nationally in scoring among freshmen.

The Hoosiers will have their attention on junior Emily Cady, who leads the Cornhuskers in field goal percentage.

Cady shoots 52.7 percent from the field. She’s also Nebraska’s second-leading scorer at 13.5 points per game.

Nebraska has followed Cady’s strong shooting. The Cornhuskers shot an average of 49.8 percent from the field in their last five games.

In contrast, IU hasn’t had consistent shooting numbers in Big Ten play. In road games, the Hoosiers have shot an average of 36.4 percent from the field.

Compared to Penn State, IU

Coach Curt Miller said Nebraska is a different beast.

“It’s a totally different animal,” he said. “But we’re confident that we believe in our stuff.”

Both the Lady Lions and Huskers run the Princeton offense and include a lot of motion in their offenses.

But it’s not just the similar action and motion that will give the Hoosiers trouble.

“Nebraska’s spurtability and the ability to put players in different positions every time down the floor is really troublesome,” Miller said.

Miller said the Huskers are the Hoosiers’ toughest matchup.

Before their game against Michigan, the Cornhuskers were holding

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL (17-7) at No. 21 Nebraska (18-5, 8-3) 1 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 16 opponents to 38.4 percent shooting from the field.

Additionally, they ranked first in the conference in defensive rebounding. The Cornhuskers averaged 31.1 prior to their game against the Wolverines.

When the Hoosiers face Nebraska, they will have had two days to prepare for the matchup. Miller said he knows his team will have its hands full, and have to have two really good days of practice.

Golden Boy Novice boxer Emmett Dillon finds home at a new boxing club

BY DENNIS BARBOSA dbarbosa@indiana.edu

The rookie ran three miles from his apartment to the Warehouse for boxing training.

His coach said it’s part of what makes Emmett Dillon special.

“That got my attention right away,” boxing coach Rob Scardina said. “During my time as a boxing coach I get a lot of different people that say, ‘We’re interested in a gym,’ and you know, some show up and some don’t.”

Since the start, Dillon practiced three hours a day, five days a week, practicing punches and feet movement. Scardina had confidence in him from the beginning, but it was unclear whether Dillon could fight. He had never hit anyone in his life.

Now, about a month later, Dillon has committed to compete in the Golden Gloves this March, an amateur boxing competition known for breeding champions during its eight decades of existence.

“Emmett’s one of the few kids that I’ve seen besides my son and a few other kids I’ve had that actually has natural speed, ability, that inner toughness you sometimes need to be an amateur boxer,” Scardina said.

Dillon is training with Scardina’s new boxing club, B-Town Boxing.

Scardina, a certified U.S. boxing trainer, opened B-Town Boxing Jan. 2 at The Warehouse on South Rogers Street to produce champion boxers.

Despite his inexperience, Dillon might be Scardina’s first champ.

Most boxers train for a year or at least six months, competing in five to six fights in preparation for the competition, Scardina said. It’s very uncommon for someone to enter the Golden Gloves without any fights underneath his belt.

“It’s a pretty big leap of faith,” he said.

“It shows me he’s somebody that has a lot of faith and self-confidence.”

On January 8, when Dillon first showed up at The Warehouse, he walked in on the beginning of one of Scardina’s first boxing classes in Bloomington.

B-town Boxing opened January 2 after Scardina moved from Lizton, Ind., to be closer to his 7-year old daughter, who lives in Brown County. He operated a boxing gym in Lizton.

When he moved to Bloomington, he contracted with the Warehouse, a Christian-based community outreach center for group activities, to train inside the facility. He has been working with about seven boxers, including his

stepson and Dillon.

“I do this for the kids,” Scardina said.

He said it had brought his family closer, particularly because he has been training his stepson.

B-Town Boxing meets in The Warehouse, which houses multiple Christian ministry-oriented organizations.

Dillon has missed practice only once.

Originally from Chicago, Dillon attended IU for the 2011-12 school year, studying business management and competing as a starter for the Division I lacrosse team.

The out-of-state tuition, after three semesters, was too much for Dillon and his family to afford. He said that’s when he decided to drop out and get an apartment in Bloomington to gain residency.

Dillon said he plans on returning to IU this summer.

“I’m very goal-oriented so usually when I start something I don’t give up,” he said. “So I don’t see myself quitting anytime soon.”

It was one day in September, long before Dillon knew B-Town Boxing existed, when he came across Manny Pacquiao.

Pacquiao was, at the time, considered the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world, and he is a southpaw — a

lefty — just like Dillon.

Dillon wrestled in the southpaw stance for all four years of high school, he said.

It is now the stance he is most comfortable boxing in.

“I watched the replay of the Manny Pacquiao Antonio Maragarito fight and I kind of just said to myself, ‘I think I can do that,’” Dillon said.

From then on Dillon prepared his body for fighting condition running three to five miles every other day while weight training at Cardinal Fitness.

It wasn’t until New Year’s that he came across B-Town Boxing’s ad on Craigslist.

Scardina said he received an email from him saying that he would be coming by the gym to talk about training.

Scardina’s coaching style is to ease boxers into the sport. This is why Dillon has just recently sparred for the first time.

Dillon said he plans on competing as a sub-novice middleweight, meaning he’s had less than five fights.

“I kind of pride myself in taking people that don’t necessarily have those attributes and helping them get them,” Scardina added. “But Emmett ... he makes my job a little easier.”

Animal shelter adoptions increase, intake decreases

BY MARY KATHERINE WILDEMAN marwilde@indiana.edu

In the last year, the City of Bloomington Animal Care and Control shelter has seen decreased numbers of animals coming into the shelter and greater numbers of adoptions.

Laurie Ringquist, Director of Animal Care and Control in Bloomington, said in a press release this is the first time the shelter’s annual intake has been less than 4,000 animals, according to data dating as far back as 1978.

Shelter Manager Virgil Sauder said last year, the shelter held a three-month long ASPCA challenge in order to push animal adoptions. The

program was successful, and there were 2,393 total adoptions in 2012, representing a 22 percent increase from 2011.

“It was a lot of work and a lot of effort getting those out of the door,” Sauder said in regards to the ASPCA challenge. “Last year we didn’t do that, but we saw our numbers of adoptions being the same, pretty much.”

There were 2,216 total adoptions in 2013, 117 less than 2012. There were also 106 fewer animals taken in by the shelter in 2013 than in 2012.

“In our normal operating procedures, we were able to re-create those three months of complete, intense, push,” Sauder said.

In 2013, 1,992 cats were

taken into the shelter and slightly more than the 1,732 dogs.

About 1,080 cats and 966 dogs were adopted, less than the 2012 adoption rate but considerably greater than 778 cats and 1,063 dogs adopted in 2011.

Sauder has been working at the shelter since the fall of 2005, making this his ninth year as manager. Improvements in adoption, euthanasia and intake rates have happened throughout the years, Sauder said.

“It’s been a change that’s happened over time,” he said.

This is due to a variety of efforts throughout the years, Sauder said, including providing easy and

affordable spaying and neutering services.

When the number of litters decreases, the intake numbers for the shelter also decreases.

The same is true for a citysupported effort to spay and neuter the feral cat population.

Sauder said when he started, there were litters of eight to 10 puppies coming in multiple times a day.

“When you go from starting the day with three kennels, to having easily 15 dogs walking in the door, there’s just only so much you can do because you get yourself backed up,” Sauder said.

He noted this problem has persisted somewhat with kittens, but that intake overall has decreased.

Sauder said the decreased numbers of animals in the shelter also improves the experience of people walking in the door.

“Having less animals packed in makes for the adoptions to happen quicker because it’s not as overwhelming,” Sauder said.

Funded by the city, the animal shelter also handles animal control. The shelter has contracted with the county, meaning county animal control brings in the strays from everywhere in Monroe County.

“Everyone who’s a resident in Monroe County through their tax dollars are already paying for our services,” Sauder said.

The shelter depends on the support of volunteers.

Their services include sheltering stray animals, reuniting lost pets and their families, facilitating adoptions, enforcing county ordinances, and investigating cruelty and neglect cases, according to the shelter’s website.

Sauder reiterated the past year has represented less work from volunteers but an overall improvement in numbers for the shelter.

“We can do the same amount of saving lives and getting them out the door with less stress,” Sauder said.

Elementary school program sets reading challenges

BY SYDNEY MURRAY slmurray@indiana.edu

Students at Summit Elementary School are challenging each other to read as many minutes as they can and achieve a school-wide goal of reading for 170,000 minutes during a period of two weeks.

As part of the Reach for the Stars Reading program, all teachers decide how many minutes they think their students can read during Feb. 3-17. First grade teacher Andrea Livingston said her students are each trying to read for 300 minutes.

During the two-week

challenge, students also try to collect monetary pledges from friends and family.

At the end of the challenge, half of the money the students raise goes back to them to buy more books and half of it goes to the classroom teacher to order more books for the classroom library.

Livingston said the students don’t have to read only for the sake of their reading goal, but if their parents read to them or the younger students play with magnetic letters, those minutes count toward their total.

She said every day at Summit the students have a 90-minute literacy block

where the students focus only on reading and writing.

Usborne Books and More organizes the program, and the students buy their new books from the company.

Susan Anderson, education representative with Usborne, said the company highly encourages a culture of reading.

“They are very supportive of anything pro-literacy,” she said.

She said Usborne began the Reach for the Stars program about 20 years ago to help children develop a reading habit and then reward them with more books to sustain that habit.

Students count minutes

they read at home and at school toward their goal. At the end of the challenge, the school library also receives a 10-percent match of the total money raised in free books from Usborne.

Livingston said the school has been participating in the program for a few years. She said the school sets its school-wide reading goal based on the number of students enrolled.

Incentives are also offered from Usborne to the students, such as medals for students who are the top readers in each grade level.

Summit is also providing incentives for its students, such as pizza parties for the

classrooms with the most time spent reading.

Anderson said many children throughout the country aren’t reading at grade level.

She said children becoming good readers and enjoying reading provides them with a strong base for the rest of their lives.

“It’s very rewarding to me to partner with the schools,” she said.

Anderson said other schools in the Monroe County Community School Corporation participate in the program, as well as students at Richland-Bean Blossom Community School Corporation, among others.

The program has helped

Livingston provide many more books for students in her class.

She said one year she had more than $300 to spend on books for her classroom library.

“I picked everything I wanted and still had more,” she said. “It was ridiculous — a good ridiculous.”

Livingston said the program has helped create a love of learning at Summit.

“They’re really good books,” she said. “We want to push every kid to learn how to read.”

Women in Picasso’s life inspire student play

BY ALISON GRAHAM akgraham@indiana.edu

Pablo Picasso is notably famous for his contributions to the artistic movement cubism.

But he has also been known to have many different women in his life, including wives and mistresses who are often featured in his artwork.

After being painted by Picasso, art historians analyzed these women repeatedly, and they were given an identity that was not their own, said Juliet Barrett, senior theater major and director of the play “Picasso’s Women.”

Irish playwright Brian McAvera wrote the play in 1998 after he conducted immense research on the women behind Picasso’s artwork.

Barrett has taken the play and made it the focus of her honors thesis production by directing an entirely studentrun performance, which premiered Thursday and continues 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 1 p.m. Sunday.

All performances are in the Studio Theatre in the Lee Norvelle Theatre and Drama Center.

Barrett’s honors thesis focuses on feminism and culminates with this performance, which melds together fine arts and theater.

“I really wanted a meeting space so that artists could work on something and really understand the other person’s craft,” she said.

Barrett is an artist herself.

Creating an ensemble that includes different art forms fueled her passion.

To include these art forms, Barrett interviewed a sculptor and a photographer, and together, they created a set that could function not only as a theater production, but also

as an installation in a fine arts museum.

“One time we had to go dumpster-diving for wood, so we really tried to make it minimalistic. We wanted it to be about the story,” she said.

“Picasso’s Women” follows four different women, two wives and two mistresses of Picasso. When the women are on stage, they are frozen and simulating different paintings that Picasso painted them in, fitting into their original molds, Barrett said.

As the show progresses, they break out of their original molds, redefine themselves and create their own identities.

One woman featured in the show is Picasso’s wife for the last 20 years of his life, Jacqueline, who was featured in a large number of his paintings.

“Through his art, he represented (the women) in

PICASSO’S WOMEN Studio Theatre, Lee Norvelle Theatre 7:30p.m., Feb.14 ways that they weren’t necessarily ‘okay’ with,” said Emily Scott, the actress who plays Jacqueline. “They’ve never gotten their own chance to tell their stories or refute something that was said about them.”

Because of the cast of characters in the play, it is performed by an all-female cast.

Barrett said every person involved in the play is there because of the passion they feel for the show.

“People are doing it because they are passionate about it, and not doing it is simply not an option,” she said.

Grunwald features video artwork Lotus Foundation

BY ALISON GRAHAM akgraham@indiana.edu

When his 4-year-old son asked for a vampire squid for Christmas, the boy’s obsession with underwater creatures sparked an idea for Aaron Travers, an assistant professor of composition in the Jacobs School of Music.

Travers’ son served as the inspiration for Friday’s “Dark Zone” performances at the Grunwald Gallery of Art. The vampire squid is an underwater creature that communicates entirely with light. It lives in deep ocean trenches in the Mediterranean Sea. “His interest in that kind of sparked the idea of doing an immersive piece and give the audience an idea of what it would be like to be in that dark place where the animals only communicate through light,” Travers said.

A one-night-only event, “Dark Zone” features the

work of Travers and Associate Professor of Digital Art Arthur Liou.

The performance displays video projections created by Liou, which take audience members into an underwater environment, complete with landscapes and deep-sea, bioluminescent creatures.

Liou created the creatures entirely with a computer, using no actual footage.

“Deep-sea bioluminescence is a fascinating world,” Travers said. “I think it’ll be a different experience for students.”

The video will be accompanied by a composition written by Travers and played by seven musicians.

Most of the music is played on the piano, Travers said, but with an interesting twist.

“The music was conceived for playing in the dark,” he said. “The musicians have to rely on

cues from the video or auditory clues from one another.

They won’t be able to see the keyboards at all.”

Because of the lack of light, the musicians will play directly on the strings of the pianos with special mallets, aided only by the minimal light from the video projections.

The music includes a wide range of sounds, including high squeaks, rumbling and granular sounds, Travers said.

“The idea is to avoid chords and melodies and create a very different kind of sound world,” he said.

Not only is the performance an immersive piece, but Travers also wants to raise awareness of the impact humans can have even on creatures living miles under the ocean.

Deep-sea fishing and trolling can destroy entire ecosystems of bioluminescent creatures, he said.

“I want to bring

receives NEA grant for annual festival FROM IDS REPORTS

The Lotus Education and Arts Foundation recently received a $30,000 Art Works grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.

The money will help support this year’s Lotus World Music and Arts Festival, which will happen in Bloomington Sept. 18-21.

“The Lotus World Music and Arts Festival is an exciting example of communitybuilding through the arts, including the power of the arts to create communities on a global scale,” Lotus Executive Director Sunni Fass said in a press release.

Lotus is one of 895 nonprofit organizations to receive an NEA grant, which range from

$10,000-$100,000.

According to the NEA website, the goals of the grants are to support the creation of art that meets the highest standards of excellence, increase public engagement with diverse and excellent art, encourage lifelong learning and strengthen communities through the arts.

“The National Endowment for the Arts is proud to support these exciting and diverse arts projects that will take place throughout the United States,” said acting NEA Chairman Joan Shigekawa in a press release.

Faas said it was an honor to be recognized.

EDITORIAL BOARD

MARISSA EXPLAINS IT ALL

QUE SARAH SARAH

Misguided priorities The new East Studio Building on Jordan Avenue is truly magnificent. Its sleek design with special acoustic engineering, enormous LCD televisions and baby grand pianos in every room make it a sight to behold.

The result of a $44 million grant from the Lilly Foundation, the 85,000 square foot edifice is home to more than 84 rooms that serve largely as faculty studios, with several reserved for percussion practice.

Though an impressive and celebrated addition to both the Jacobs School of Music and the campus as a whole, the new building embodies our school’s recent adoption of an ultimately harmful “if you build it, they will come” mentality.

There has been a consistent demand for more student practice space for years.

The space made available to us is dingy, covered in graffiti, windowless and bathed in harsh yellow light from flickering fluorescent overheads.

The pianos are weathered and chronically out of tune, with once-white keys browning and cracking with age.

“Andy Was Here” is scratched into the flaking wall paint, and the wobbly heads of music stands flop over in defeat at the slightest provocation of an orchestral excerpt.

Although our esteemed faculty has every right to ditch the annex for their swanky new studios, it is undeniable that students were given the short end of the stick in this situation.

If IU truly cared about improving the quality of the education and lives of its students, those in charge would put endowment money toward much-needed repairs and upgrades to the well-used facilities already on campus, rather than building new ones altogether.

This idea isn’t limited simply to Jacobs, however. It is a campus-wide issue that affects most buildings from

Ballantine Hall to the Student Building.

It would be great if maintenance could get my professor’s office radiator to stop banging and groaning like an experimental Tom Waits song.

It would be swell to have IU Secure’s notorious issues addressed and fixed once and for all.

In the meantime, IU is constructing a massive new center for Global and International Studies. So that’s nice.

To me, these new structures, along with the muchpublicized Alumni Hall renovations, speak more to a desire to improve campus by attracting impressive people or those more likely to donate rather than optimizing facilities for greatest student benefits.

Sure, world-renowned faculty might now be easier swayed to join the Jacobs team, but we are still left to practice for them in arguably the most depressing rooms on campus.

By revamping and improving the less savory aspects of campus, IU could demonstrate its commitment to students. Right now, it inadvertently feeds into the student perception of our alma mater as a jaded, capitalist enterprise, bloated on the delicious dollars of our loans and our parents.

I’m certainly not condemning our school’s beautiful new acquisition. I am instead questioning the way in which our administration prioritizes its spending in the face of many issues that are begging to be fixed. Because, ultimately, it sends the message to us as students that we come squarely second.

HARO-ING TALES

Gun violence overstated The condemnable act of violence carried out on Purdue campus last month dominated the local media and gripped the minds of our neighboring Boilermakers.

With several friends studying at Purdue, the news grabbed my attention — as it did much of the IU community.

Although this was indeed a heinous act of murder involving the use of a gun, the way the media continued to title the situation as a shooting was bothersome to me. It was misguiding the public and representing our exploitative culture of fear.

I can’t evade the technicality that what had occurred is a shooting because of the fact that shots were openly fired. What I am arguing is that labeling the particular event as a shooting is a hyperbolic statement with political consequences.

In the past, the media would have probably used the shooting label only when considering public exchanges of fire or the rages of evil gunmen targeting random victims. Nowadays, even common instances of gun violence such as the one suffered at Purdue are being stamped with this energized label.

With American gun violence now under the media’s microscope, individual cases are being increasingly blown out of proportion. No other form of murder or violence generates the same paralyzing waves of fear and despair that gunshots do, especially in academic settings.

How the Purdue suspect specifically targeted only his victim before quickly surrendering leaves significant doubt that any other students’ lives besides the victim’s were truly endangered that day.

This makes me think that the community’s dramatic reactions both at Purdue and

Freedom of decency

EDGAR HARO is a junior majoring in biology.

IU were driven by classic hysteria.

It’s not that the compassionate communal responses are unfounded. It is discomforting news for all college students and the heart wrenched loved ones of the victim need all the support they can get.

My point is that this murder wouldn’t have touched our communities in the same fashion if a gun hadn’t been used to carry it out. It certainly wouldn’t have made national news.

Fear is probably the most important political tool used to prod populations into different forms of subjection.

For people must believe in what they fear, otherwise they wouldn’t have a reason to fear it.

It seems that the media wants people to believe in an imaginary gun violence epidemic through the fear they’re cooking up in order to facilitate anti-second amendment agendas.

The media has their right to bring attention to whatever stories they choose. I just oppose how it’s manipulating the public into subconsciously buying the idea that an armed maniac is likely to be right around the corner on any given day.

If students are seriously worried about becoming an innocent victim of gun violence, then they should also worry about getting hit by a car or getting struck by lightning on their way to campus.

If students aren’t feeling safe already, the scheming media is to blame.

ILLUSTRATION BY CONNOR RILEY

Conservatives take on Girl Scouts, again Hold down the fort. Batten down the hatches. Prepare the cannons, because moms in America have declared war.

The targets are an unlikely bunch — Girl Scouts.

The young, green-vested cookie peddlers have recently come under fire for their alleged support of abortion activists and sex education. Though representatives from Girl Scouts of America have apologized and maintained a staunchly apolitical position, several pro-life groups are continuing to call for a nationwide boycott of buying Girl Scout cookies.

But this grudge isn’t new. Nay, the wound runs deep. A battle against Girl Scouts has waged for nearly ten years, ever since one fateful day in 2004 when a local branch in Waco, Texas, began supporting a summer sex-ed seminar, Nobody’s Fool.

Deemed “pornographic” and an “assault on Christian morality,” the program ignited a hostile reaction from mothers in the area who, in turn, banded together with local politician and pro-life activist John Pisciotta.

Together, they formed a group that sought to bring Girl Scouts’ alleged morality crimes into the public spotlight.

The second strike occurred when the same branch decided to honor a Planned Parenthood manager as a “Woman of Distinction” for her outstanding service to the community.

The final and most recent straw, oddly enough, was neither a problematic accolade nor a

questionable sponsorship, but two seemingly innocuous posts on social media.

The official Girl Scouts of America Twitter merely retweeted a link from the Huffington Post listing the top influential women of the year, which happened to contain an image of women’s health activist Sen. Wendy Davis.

A day later, they made a similarly fateful mistake on Facebook — another prefabricated list of influential women containing United States Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius sparked outrage within a small community of pro-lifers.

Though the Editorial Board recognizes the importance of maintaining a “family friendly” environment in groups focused toward young people, we believe CookieCott 2014 and those behind it are deeply misguided in their decision to push their agenda onto an organization that has already publicly apologized and denied involvement.

Although one could argue that Girl Scouts’ most recent moves were calculated choices that convey some degree of support for hot topics, we believe their refusal to wholly and publicly embrace conservatism is the most distressing issue for these fringe groups.

Girl Scouts is based on the premise of creating an atmosphere in which girls can feel confident and exhibit strength in whatever path they choose.

By pandering to a small fraction of dissatisfied extremists, this honorable institution would be going against all the values it instills.

These boycotters are focused solely on a non-issue, while ignoring the incredible things Girl Scouts does for communities and young women. They are one of the main advocates of women in STEM careers, creating after-school programs with FIRST Robotics to get girls interested in the sciences.

Similarly, they have a long history of partnership with NASA, which has introduced many young women to the male-dominated field of astrophysics.

Finally, and most ironically, this boycott succeeds in doing what it is actively trying to prevent — bringing “adult issues” into a kid-oriented environment.

By taking something as inoffensive as the annual Girl Scout cookie sale and politicizing it to fit an antiabortion, abstinence-only agenda, these mothers and their politician mouthpieces have unwittingly brought the discourse of sexuality and women’s health into their own homes.

The children they are fighting so valiantly to shelter are now faced with tough questions with equally tough answers, possibly at ages not conducive to total understanding.

To those boycotting, we implore you to put down your torches and pitchforks, and pick up a delicious box of Thin Mints. Who knows — one chocolaty bite could totally change your perspective.

One of the first things we associate with America is freedom of speech.

Always a blessing but often a curse, the limits of the freedom of speech are tested on a daily basis, from everyday American households to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Frequently, legal rulings designed to limit free speech are founded on a commonsense approach to defending decency.

The dispute currently raging about a graphic antiabortion display at Florida Gulf Coast University is no exception.

On Feb. 11, the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform, an antiabortion organization with a reputation for extreme methods, put up a display in the middle of FGCU’s campus featuring shockingly violent and disturbing images and associations.

The exhibit, entitled “The Genocide Awareness Project,” included photos of lateterm abortions and deceased fetuses.

Although those images were turning heads and stomachs, most students took the most offense to the comparison of abortion to the Holocaust or violence toward Native Americans in the 18th and 19th centuries.

It’s difficult to select a starting point in mourning the ironically violent, graphic nature of anti-abortion protests, so let’s start with the Holocaust and “Trail of Tears” analogy .

The decision to terminate a pregnancy, especially when it threatens the life of the mother or was conceived violently, has absolutely nothing in common with the horrific mass genocide of entire races.

Of all the associations manipulated by anti-abortion protestors, invoking historical tragedies to demonize women who have had abortions by comparing them to the perpetrators of heinous crimes against humanity is the most despicable I’ve seen.

The Center for Bio-Ethical Reform has a right to enter a public university campus and express its opinions. But, like the Westboro Baptist Church and other groups who employ graphic images and malicious slogans in an attempt to offend passersby into changing their minds, the students of FGCU have every right to tell them “Enough is enough.”

It wasn’t long before speaker Judy Minahan’s presentation devolved into a one-sided shouting match with the enraged students, and a petition was circulated to limit the content they could display on campus.

I find it incredibly generous that the petition doesn’t call for the CBER’s total removal from campus. They simply ask that the disturbing images be turned inward — toward the main campus green and away from the sidewalks — and that speakers not use microphones.

This will allow students a choice — they can walk through the exhibit and approach the presenters if they like, but those who don’t won’t be bombarded by the images and messages on their way to class.

I applaud the students of FGCU for taking an active role in controlling what they choose to hear and see without limiting the rights of fear-mongers whose tactics deserve to be nixed.

In addition to the rights enumerated in our founding documents, an understood right resides — freedom of decency. FGCU has embodied the beauty of free speech in America by countering vulgar rhetoric with decorum and democracy.

May the rest of the nation follow suit.

Stakes rise at Hoosier Hills

BY TORI ZIEGE vziege@indiana.edu

The IU track and field team will maintain its rigid focus this weekend at the Hoosier Hills Invitational, the Hoosiers’ last home meet of their indoor season.

IU Coach Ron Helmer said athletes at every level need to be prepared to run heart-stopping performances.

Many will seek to build their confidence going into the Big Ten meet, he said, while others will look to set qualifying times for the NCAA Championships.

Helmer said every second counts.

“To prepare the athletes to have a really good Big Ten meet, I would prefer to rest as many as possible next week,” he said. “The difference between getting there and just missing is sometimes tenths of a second, and I don’t want to get caught chasing a time every single weekend.”

Freshman Tre’tez Kinnaird is all too familiar with chasing times. Last weekend at the Meyo Invitational, he raced into the IU record books with a season-best time of one minute and 49.49 seconds in the 800-meter run.

The time was the second fastest in program history.

Kinnaird, who was the 2012 Kentucky State Champion in the 800-meter, said the performance was his best in two years.

“I expected to run fast, but I didn’t expect to run that fast,” he said. “In high school I wasn’t really pushed a lot, so being pushed and just having that competition makes it even sweeter.”

Kinnaird and fellow freshman teammate Jean Rouse are two Hoosiers who have already achieved great success in their first seasons at IU. For Rouse, the key has been relaxing at the start line. She doesn’t wear a watch when she races, so she said it was a complete surprise when she clocked a season-best 57.42 seconds in the 400-meter run last weekend.

IU baseball team starts season

BY EVAN HOOPFER ehoopfer@indiana.edu

SARAH BOYUM | IDS

Junior Josh Roche competes in the 3000-kilometer race Feb. 7 at Harry Gladstein Fieldhouse. Roche finished 11th, in a time of 8:24.

Despite chasing a nationalqualifying time in the distance medley relay this weekend, Kinnaird said he doesn’t feel any pressure when he races.

“This is my freshman year.

This is a chance to start something big, and I shouldn’t stress over it,” he said. “I just go out there and run, and see what I’m capable of doing.”

With the stakes high at

Hoosier Hills, Helmer said there is another variable in play to this weekend’s equation.

“They’re running for more than a chance to go to the national meet,” he said.

“They’re actually running for the opportunity to be All-Americans.”

Kinnaird said he will draw inspiration from some

anonymous fans — and one special fan in particular.

“I have a few valentines out there. I’m not saying any names,” he said. “But my mom is coming down, and I haven’t seen her in a while. That will be her Valentine’s gift — running real fast times.”

In 120 days, the eight best college baseball teams in United States will compete in Omaha, Neb., for the right to call themselves national champions.

The IU baseball team was among those eight teams last season, and will be doing everything in its power to return to Omaha come June.

The No. 3 Hoosiers will play 52 regular season games, plus additional contests in the Big Ten Tournament, and potentially the NCAA Regionals and NCAA Super-Regionals.

The journey to Omaha begins Friday when IU travels to Lubbock, Texas, to face off against the Texas Tech Red Raiders at 3 p.m.

The road trip is a fourgame series that begins 3 p.m. Friday, continues with a doubleheader with games at 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. on Saturday, and finishes Sunday.

Coming so close to a national title last year helped IU Coach Tracy Smith and his team realize what it takes to win it all.

“It’s tough to talk about a national championship, it’s tough to talk about Omaha if you haven’t been there,” Smith said. “This group from the end of last year, they said we have some unfinished business to do. And that’s their goal at this point.”

The preseason expectations are unprecedented for IU and for the Big Ten conference. Before last season, the Hoosiers had never been ranked in the polls. They finished the year ranked No. 7 by Baseball America and were slotted No. 3 in the magazine’s preseason poll.

The last Big Ten team to be ranked this high was the 1988 Michigan Wolverines, 26 years ago.

One thing is clear for this IU team: it’s a national title or bust.

Smith recalled reading

what junior first basemen Sam Travis had written down for his season goals. Smith asked his players to reflect on several different topics. Travis’ answers were simple.

“Team goals:” Win National Championship “Individual goals:” Win National Championship “Describe the Culture we want at IU baseball:” Carry ourselves as a National Championship caliber team.

“What are some potential distractions, and how do we eliminate these distractions?” No distractions.

When IU suits up for the first time this season, senior Joey DeNato will throw the first pitch for the Hoosiers.

The California native was the ace last year for IU and had a 10-2 record with a 2.52 ERA. DeNato is third in IU history for career wins with 24.

He needs just seven more to be the sole owner of the record.

Pitching on Saturday for IU will be junior Kyle Hart and then sophomore Christian Morris. Hart was the second starter for IU last year, too, and finished the year 8-2 with a 3.01 ERA. Morris saw limited action, going 1-1 with a 4.68 ERA. The Sunday starter has yet to be announced.

Last season, Texas Tech went 26-30 and 9-15 in the Big 12. The Red Raiders finished eighth out of nine Big 12 teams.

Smith jested with reporters on why the IU baseball program chose to open up their season in Lubbock.

“I guess everybody likes to say that’s Bob Knight country, isn’t it?” Smith said while smiling. “Actually I didn’t think about that until just now. But that didn’t go into our decision, I’m joking.”
