Strategic Plan to attempt far-reaching changes BY KATHRINE SCHULZE schulzek@indiana.edu
Students, faculty and staff might want to pay attention to the draft of IU’s new Strategic Plan. Big changes are on the way, and Provost Lauren Robel is inviting public feedback. The product of a semester’s worth of work on the part of 11 committees, the IU-Bloomington Campus Strategic Plan outlines a plan to expand IU’s global presence, update financial aid and realigns interdisciplinary education. And those are only a few aspects of the six broad initiatives Robel’s attempting to address. Before the Strategic Plan is finalized, however, Robel wants
public feedback on the draft released Wednesday. The draft’s release came two weeks in advance of a town hall meeting for public comment, and with an online response form. Meanwhile, it’s time for members of the IU community who want their voice heard to familiarize themselves with the 21-page draft that might affect almost every experience at the University for the next five years. THE FOUNDATION The Strategic Plan built on what the plan calls “five successful and ambitious initiatives that challenged us to recreate Indiana’s pre-eminent university for the 21st Century.” These five documents are “New Academic Directions,” “New
Directions in Teaching and Learning,” “Indiana University International Strategic Plan,” “Report on the Old Crescent” and “Empowering People: Indiana University’s Strategic Plan for Technology.” All five plans have been released in the past six years. These initiatives target specific areas in IU’s broad reach and served as a jumping-off point for the Strategic Plan. “Sometimes people talk about a strategic plan and they say, ‘If you were to start from scratch, what would you do?’ Well, we’re not starting from scratch,” Robel said during the Bloomington Professional Meeting Wednesday. “We’re starting from almost two
full centuries of history,” she said. The 21-page plan is broken down into six main points: undergraduate life, graduate education, research, faculty development, globalization and internationalization and collaborative program initiatives. GRAND CHALLENGES Undergraduate life is by far the largest portion of the plan, and it covers everything from financial needs to the arts to expanding opportunities for international students. The plan explicitly mentions the establishment of Hutton Honors College as a “central hub” for interdisciplinary education; the SEE PLAN, PAGE 6

Area man jumps to death at hospital FROM IDS REPORTS
A Bloomington man committed suicide at the IU-Bloomington Hospital Wednesday night. Christopher Owens, 31, was found lying face down in the snow on the north side of the parking garage, Bloomington Police Department Sgt. Steve Kellams said. It is apparent he jumped from the top of the parking garage based on evidence from the scene, Kellams said. Owens died from blunt force trauma, County Coroner Nicole Meyer said. Owens was staying at a local halfway house. “He had some conditions which would lead us to believe it was a suicide,” Kellams said. Suicides from falls account for less than 3 percent of suicides in the U.S. from 2005 to 2009, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In 2010 suicide was the 11thleading cause of death in Indiana, according to the Indiana State Department of Health. From 2006 to 2010 suicide rates in the United States have remained fairly stable, but have increased slightly each year since 2007. In Indiana men die by suicide more often than women, according to ISDH. From 2006 to 2010 suicide was the second leading cause of death in people ages 15 to 34, third leading cause in people ages 10 to 14 and fourth leading cause in people ages 35 to 54.

Needing a win Hoosiers look to change their fortune against Northwestern BY ANDY WITTRY awittry@indiana.edu
The Hoosiers will travel to Evanston, Ill., Saturday with hopes of earning a payback victory against a Northwestern team that forced the first domino to fall for IU in its string of recent struggles. Four days after the Hoosiers knocked off No. 3 Wisconsin at home, the lowly 8-10 Wildcats took all of the wind out of IU’s sails with
a 54-47 victory at Assembly Hall. Since defeating the Badgers, IU has lost six of its last eight games, fallen off the NCAA Tournament radar, had a player arrested for operating a vehicle while intoxicated and had its home temporarily jeopardized by a piece of metal plating. Starting at 8:15 p.m. Saturday, the Hoosiers have an opportunity to make amends and climb up the Big Ten standings. Northwestern, which is on a

Soft rock performers to play at Buskirk-Chumley Theater BY HANNAH ALANI halani@indiana.edu
The soft tones of critically acclaimed singer-songwriter Josh Ritter will fill the Buskirk-Chumley Theater this Saturday night. Ritter will play an all-acoustic set and will be accompanied by up-and-coming artist Gregory Alan Isakov. The two have been touring their latest albums, Ritter’s “The Beast in its Tracks” and Isakov’s “The Weatherman.” Ritter’s eighth studio album debuted at No. 8 on the “Top Rock Albums” chart earlier this year. Isakov, a Colorado native, said he enjoys touring with Ritter, and is especially looking forward to Saturday’s acoustic set. “With Josh, there’s a great mix of music that we do,” Isakov said. “We both have a pretty different
take on music. It’ll be a pretty cool evening.” Isakov began working on his album “The Weatherman” in Europe, but mostly recorded it in Colorado, where he currently lives. According to Isakov’s website, the album reflects his travels and affinity for nature. “I love getting a chance to connect with people,” Isakov said. “We spend a lot of time recording records and writing them mostly in solitude. When we play live, the songs have a different life.” Isakov said he enjoys the songwriting process and performance collaboration with Ritter. “Everything starts out on guitar and piano in my kitchen and then we arrange around the band,” Isakov said. “When you strip all that away, it becomes something with honest kinds of feelings.” Unlike many modern art-
ists who market their music via singles and downloads, Isakov said he thinks of his work in terms of a whole. “Some records are better than others,” Isakov said. “I try to make complete pieces of work. I guess I’m kind of old school like that.” Isakov and Ritter are quite popular among the college-aged crowd, he said, and Saturday’s show is expected to receive a largely young adult audience. “I live in a college town too, back in Boulder,” Isakov said. “I don’t really think about it, whether they are college students or not. I hope that people connect with the music.” Follow reporter Hannah Alani on Twitter @hannahalani.

Too many decisions can cause fatigue BY ANNIE GARAU agarau@indiana.edu
Two IU researchers have contributed to a study revealing that seemingly insignificant decisions can cause fatigue. Apply that to the average life of a college student and it means impaired decision-making. The phenomena is commonly referred to as decision fatigue. According to a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, decision fatigue is what occurs when cognitive energy is depleted after a person makes too many choices. Ed Hirt and Peter Todd, two professors in the IU Psychological and Brain Sciences department, recently commented on this study regarding the potential effects of this energy loss. The study observed judges in Israel while they made decisions regarding whether a convicted person should receive parole. Researchers found the percentage of favorable rulings dropped gradually from around 65 percent to nearly zero within each decision session and returned abruptly to around 65 percent after a break. Hirt said fatigue could explain the change. “There is pretty good evidence that doing any exercise that involves self-control makes people tired,” Hirt said. “The same thing happens with decision-making.” Hirt said decision fatigue affects everyone differently because it is all about perception. If individuals are enjoying the decision-making process, such as when they are choosing what to eat, they are less likely to experience fatigue because the choices require less self-control. Similarly, the recovery process depends on the person. “Any type of restorative activity can help get your performance back up to a good level,” Hirt said. “For some people it could be meditation, some people could take a nap and some people might play video games.” Professor Todd has a different opinion on the subject. “I don’t really believe in decision fatigue being as widespread as people imagine,” Todd said. “We did a big comparison of about 50 studies and found that people do not systematically get overwhelmed by too much choice.” One of the studies Todd referred to looked at people’s shopping habits and found they were much more likely to purchase something when they were given a choice between other similar options. Regardless of the actual effect decision-making can have on people’s cognitive abilities, Hirt said it is always important for people to be aware of their energy levels. “There’s a lot of things we do, like making choices, that require self-control,” he said. “Students need to recognize that they can only do those things for a certain amount of time before your performance starts to suffer, and come up with effective ways to break up your time.”
Summit promotes student collaboration IU will be host to the second annual Student Sustainability Summit six to eight p.m. Thursday. At the summit, organized by the IU Office of Sustainability and the Student
Sustainability Council, participants will have a chance to connect with faculty and other students and will discuss matters such as sustainability on campus, transportation and food sourcing.
Late alumna donates $3.4 million BY KYLIE AYAL keayal@indiana.edu
The estate of IU alumna Patricia K. Fehl will donate about $3.4 million to IU’s School of Public Health and to the School of Education. The two schools will split the gift evenly, and the donation will fund new education programs and student recruitment in each of the schools. “It couldn’t have happened at a better time,” said Mohammad Torabi, School of Public Health dean. “We are very fortunate.” Since 2012, the School of Public Health has been a newly established institution on the Bloomington campus and is planning on using Fehl’s gift to build new infrastructures for advancing research, creating new scholarships and fellowships for recruiting students, and generating external funding for recruiting and retaining faculty. Currently, the School of Public Health is in the process of transferring the donation gift to an IU endowment fund, which will then be invested. “We estimate that the proceeds of the endowment will begin benefiting students within a year or less,”
said Charles Rondot, director of marketing and communications for the School of Public Health. The School of Education is dedicating the donation particularly toward graduate students in the form of graduate fellowships. The plan is to create an endowment, and the proceeds will go toward recruiting the top graduate students in the country, said Gerardo Gonzalez, dean of IU’s School of Education. “One of the most difficult things to generate is money for graduate fellowships,” Gonzalez said. “And I feel very fortunate that Dr. Fehl made this kind of gift and left it up for us to decide how we could use it best.” The Dean’s Fellowship Fund will provide graduate students with greater opportunities and financial support. It will take action immediately and will begin rewarding graduates in the incoming class in fall 2014. Fehl received both her master’s and doctoral degrees from IU. She was dedicated to education and health and served on the faculty and as the department chair at West Virginia University’s College of Physical Activity
and Sports Sciences until her retirement in 1990, Gonzalez said. “Her life’s work was in physical education and recreation,” Gonzalez said. “I think she followed her passion, and she obviously recognized that her School of Education experience made a great difference in her life and her ability to succeed, so she split the gift for the two areas she cared deeply about.” Fehl also donated to West Virginia University’s College of Physical Activity and Sport Sciences. Fehl was a member of the Hall of Fame at the college’s school of physical education.

Mathematics professor receives megagrant BY GRACE PALMIERI gpalmier@indiana.edu
IU mathematics professor Vladimir Touraev was awarded a $2.7 million grant to start a new mathematics laboratory in Russia. The award is one of 42 megagrants given by the Russian government in order to conduct research in the country. “The aim of the megagrant is to encourage the development of modern mathematics in Russia,” Touraev said in an IU press release. “I bring the expertise, they bring the resources and, most importantly, the students and scientists.” In the mid-1970s, Touraev was a high school math
teacher in Russia. Now, over 40 years later, he will return to his native country to establish his very own scientific center. The center will be based out of Chelyabinsk State University, according to the release. It will comprise approximately 20 students and 20 expert mathematicians. Touraev will be working with people from Moscow, Novosibirsk and St. Petersburg. Touraev’s expertise is in low-dimensional two-, three- and four- dimensional structures, or topology. This is the study of the properties of geometric shapes that are unaltered by elastic distortions, according to the release.
Topology is relevant wherever research involves stability, continuity or dynamics. Touraev said in the release that the center will not be focused solely on topology. “While I will try to promote some directions close to my work, I expect the established researchers to pursue their own lines of research,” he said. “At this stage, the grant creates considerable opportunities for mathematicians working in these fields and excellent possibilities for collaboration.” Touraev will receive funding to organize and operate the new laboratory through 2016. He will then have the
opportunity to renew the funding for an additional two years. Kevin Zumbrun, chair of the Department of Mathematics within IU’s College of Arts and Sciences, said in the release that the grant not only recognizes Touraev, but creates opportunities for collaboration between scientists, IU and their counterparts in Russia. “The department is both delighted that Vladimir’s excellence is being recognized at this scale and excited about the possibilities this raises for new international collaboration at a number of different levels: undergraduate, graduate, postdoctoral and faculty,” he said.
Touraev will remain the Boucher Professor of Mathematics at IU, spending just his summers in Russia. According to the release, Tournaev said the first person he has invited to the new laboratory is his former Ph.D. advisor, Oleg Viro. Viro is a topologist in Russia as well as a professor at Stony Brook University. Tournaev said he is in the process of inviting other scientists from the U.S., including former and current colleagues in the IU Department of Mathematics.

Study: alcohol-dependent women misinterpret risk BY JAVONTE ANDERSON ja69@indiana.edu
Lindsay Arcurio, a graduate student in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences,has authored a study that examines alcohol dependent women’s brain activity while making high-risk decisions. Researchers studied the brain activity of alcoholdependent women as they responded to hypothetical situations involving alcohol, food and sex-related high-risk situations. The study compared the brain activity of the alcoholdependent women with a control group — women who were light, social drinkers. She and her colleagues looked at the pattern of brain activation for alcohol-dependent women and for control women separately. The results revealed a stark
distinction between the brain activity found in alcohol-dependent women and the control group, Arcurio said. “Control women activated regions that were part of the brain’s default mode network,” Arcurio said. “Traditionally, the network is activated while you’re resting. But very recently researchers are finding that this network is also involved in future planning.” While the control group was activating regions of the brain that might be involved in future planning, the alcohol-dependent group was activating reward regions of the brain. “This study points to a reality that underlines the importance of understanding the factors behind decisions to drink in low- and highrisk situation,” Peter Finn, director of the Behavioral Alcohol Research Laboratory
and co-author of the study said. “If we understand mechanisms underlying problematic and risky drinking then this might be helpful in learning more about that and figuring out preventive and treatment methods.” The alcohol-dependent women switching between different brain networks are potentially problematic, Arcurio said. “What we’re thinking is that alcohol-dependent women have a probable difficulty in figuring what strategy to use when they’re facing a high risk decision to drink alcohol,” Arcurio said. Arcurio said this is the first study of its kind to examine risky drinking exclusively with women. “We looked at risky decision making, especially decisions to drink alcohol,” she said. “This task is one of the first to take an ecological ap-
proach — to take a drinking task and see what neurological networks are activated for high and low-risk decisions to drink.” The results of this study are the culmination of two years of recruiting and research. “We put fliers around town and campus recruiting women between the ages of 18 to 28,” Arcurio said. “We wanted to focus on the college drinking and young adult age.” During the study, the women were placed in a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) brain scanner. Both groups were confronted with hypothetical highrisk and low-risk drinking situations. Participants were shown images and asked to rate their likelihood to drink alcohol, eat food, buy an item or have sex with someone on a fourpoint scale, where 1 = very

unlikely and 4 = very likely, Arcurio said. The risk information varied depending on the situation. A brain scanner collected images of the subjects’ brains as they made decisions. “We process all of the imaging data and compare the alcohol-dependent group decisions to our control group decision,” Arcurio said. The alcohol-dependent group is activating three different major networks of the brain, Arcurio said. Arcurio said she hopes the findings of this study lead to specific interventions to help alcohol-dependent women. “It’s really important to find interventions for women who have problems drinking when they’re young adults,” she said.

Students find consequences of file sharing BY ANNA HYZY akhyzy@indiana.edu
Editor’s note: A source’s last name was omitted to protect his identity. When IU freshman Ben downloaded “The Wolf of Wall Street” to his computer, he didn’t realize there would be consequences. He saw the film in theaters during Christmas break and, being a Matthew McConaughey fan, he deemed even the actor’s minimal role reason enough to download the movie to watch with some friends. But Ben forgot to close his file sharing application. Ben hadn’t only downloaded the file, the application had begun seeding it to users all around the world. He received a notice from IU the next day and panicked. “My knowledge of copyright law was limited, so I spent the next two hours — after rereading the email six or seven times — researching illegal file sharing,” Ben said. What he found frightened him — stories of people being
sued for hundreds of thousands of dollars, he said. Tim Goth, the incident response manager at UITS public safety and institutional assurance, is part of the team responsible for sending these notices. In the 2013 calendar year, they assigned 439 offenses on the Bloomington campus alone and 710 in the entire IU system. “I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that a lot of people have the perception that online they are completely anonymous,” Goth said. Copyright holders are looking for violations of copyright law, Goth said. When they discover one, they send a takedown notice, a procedure introduced by the digital millennium copyright act. Goth said when IU receives this notice, it works to link the activity to a specific user. Once the user is identified, IU sends an email to the offender including the original takedown notice. First time offenders, like Ben, are charged a $50 fee, required to take an online
tutorial and quiz and, as of Aug. 16, 2012, participate in a seminar on copyright law and ethics. “We really felt like kids weren’t getting this at school,” Goth said. “They weren’t getting this at home, and it’s easy to hear from a friend, ‘Hey I just downloaded this movie, you should do the same.’” Ben said the seminar was laid-back and helpful. Students are brought into a room with a few other offenders— in Ben’s case, six — and learn about copyright law, particularly how it functions within universities. “I felt that IU handles filesharing issues excellently without blowing things out of proportion,” he said. “I expected to perhaps be reprimanded or given an assignment of sorts.” Until offenders complete the tasks given to them by the University, their network access is blocked. Students can still log on to lab computers to complete work but will not be able to gain access on their private devices. “They don’t realize that that’s technically stealing,”
Goth said. Goth said he felt the policies, and the amendments made to them in 2012, have been effective. He said the seminar and the requirement that secondtime offenders have a phone conversation with the office of student ethics add a human element that students pay more attention to. “The results that we see in regards to file sharing and notices is that they are working,” Goth said. Second-time offenders must pay a $75 fee, complete the tutorial and quiz once again , attend the seminar and complete a phone call with the office of student ethics. Third-time offenders are permanently blocked from the network for as long as they are associated with IU, required to take the tutorial and quiz for a third time and pay a fee of $100. Goth said he has seen a drop in second and third offenses since the implementation of the phone call and seminar. He attributes the drop to the added human

element. “I’m just some guy behind a computer sending an email,” he said. The file sharing incident is behind him, Ben said. He said he never recognized getting caught or in trouble as a real possibility, and said many people probably don’t as well. “I think many people, students and others alike,
have gotten away with piracy enough to not be concerned with the potential consequences,” he said. “Many people aren’t educated on copyright law. It’s the convenience that makes piracy and sharing so easy.” Follow reporter Anna Hyzy on Twitter @annakhyzy.
Residence Halls Association holds general assembly BY GRACE PALMIERI gpalmier@indiana.edu
The Residence Halls Association met Wednesday night to discuss election campaigns and report on committee activity. Planning and programming for RHA’s Welcome Week Concert is now underway. Brett Bassock, a Union Board representative, spoke on changes they hoped to make to the event this year. These changes include selling tickets instead of having a free concert, having no re-entry and, most notably, making the event more of a festival rather than just a concert, he said. “We would like to bring in
carnival games, student organization booths and food trucks to make the concert more of a festival to keep students interested,” Kevin Kenes, Union Board Director of Fun and Adventure, said. Other guests included the Singing Hoosiers, Jessica Albright of Relay for Life and Desiree Dixon, who is responsible for organizing the Little 50 running race. RHA President Claire Houterman said it’s important for guests to come speak at RHA general assembly about their respective organization’s upcoming events. “It’s a way for RHA members to know what’s happening on campus and be aware of all possible opportunities that our residents may enjoy
or benefit from attending,” she said. “It’s our job to usher those events to our residents, to offer them the opportunity to take part in them, so it is important that we have outside speakers come to GA to share with us.” Aside from the guests, each RHA committee reported to the group, executive directors gave reports, as well as the student government representatives from each residence hall. RHA members ran for next year’s executive board positions: President, Vice President of Internal Affairs, Vice President of Student Affairs and Vice President of programming. Election day is coming up on March 4. Houterman said that
although RHA general assembly is primarily used to collaborate internally and discuss future goals, they made a couple important decisions during the meeting. “We did finalize the artists that RHA feels would be best for the Welcome Week Concert,” she said. “We also chatted with the executive director of RPS about meal plan changes, and we will be voting on those changes next time.” This past year was the first time RPS instituted the “Hoosier Bucks” program, which allowed students to buy a meal plan with points that could be spent at any RPS dining hall as well as in the Indiana Memorial Union and the Wells Library Cyber Café.
After only selling 50 percent of what they anticipated, RPS has decided to stop selling Hoosier Bucks plans on March 1. Pat Connor, executive director of RPS, said they plan to bring back two Crimson Plans. One would be an 18-month plan, not tied into the academic semester, costing $250. The second would be a $500 plan, meant to last a full academic year. Connor said he wants student input, so a decision from RHA will be made by the next general assembly. Houterman said there is currently a lot going on at the center and director level. She is working with Culture of Care representatives
to plan Culture of Care Week events. In addition, Houterman and Emily Francisco, vice president of internal affairs, are working on distribution of the Counseling and Psychological Services sessions the health center offers students. “We’re seeing if there is a way for us to make it an option for students to “donate” their unused CAPS sessions to those students who may need more than the two allotted free sessions,” Houterman said. “We feel this is a great way to build a strong sense of community, wellbeing and appreciation and respect for fellow IU students, and we’re excited to see what progress we can make with it.”

Bill makes nonprofits nervous BY MICHAEL AUSLEN mauslen@indiana.edu
A bill aimed at forcing future legislatures to review the effectiveness of some tax credit programs is making some local nonprofit organizations nervous. Senate Bill 367, which sets expiration dates in the next few years for several of the state’s tax credit programs, has concerned some nonprofit leaders who fear losing critical sources of revenue. “It could be a really terrible thing for neighborhoods in general,” said Elaine Guinn, executive director of New Hope Family Shelter in Bloomington. “This comes at a time when funding is being cut in every direction.” New Hope provides shelter and services to families
experiencing homelessness in Monroe County. The program relies on Indiana’s Neighborhood Assistance Program, which distributes credits to nonprofits that aid disadvantaged populations. These credits can be purchased by donors in exchange for tax credits, worth half the value of the donation. A $100 donation would allow for a $50 tax deduction through NAP. But Sen. Brandt Hershman, R-Wheatfield, who authored the bill, said eliminating tax credit programs such as NAP is far from his goal. “This is a means to require a periodic review and reauthorization,” Hershman said. “If you actually look at the bill, it’s designed to sunset everything to force the General Assembly to look at them.”
The legislation ends the NAP and other income tax credits in 2016 or 2017, depending on when they were last reviewed and reauthorized — 2012 or 2013, respectively. It has passed the Senate and will be heard by a House of Representatives committee on Monday. “I’m a big fan of sunset legislation to require you to go back,” Hershman said. “It is completely unrealistic that we would eliminate all these credits.” The last set of reviews, he said, resulted in some programs being scaled back or eliminated completely, while others were expanded if they were deemed successful. Statewide, NAP offers $2.5 million in tax credits, or $5 million in charitable giving each year, according to its website. The maximum
value of NAP credits that can be distributed to a nonprofit for sale is $50,000. Last year, New Hope was allocated $16,000 in credits. For them, there’s $32,000 at risk. “We sold ours within about a week,” Guinn said. “I think we did get a pretty decent amount last year.” But, Guinn said, any money counts for a nonprofit that brought in $156,833 in 2011, according to its IRS Form 990. Board President Jim Riley said 70 percent of the organization’s funding comes from private donors. That is why staff and directors at New Hope are concerned by even the possibility that NAP could not be reauthorized in 2017. “Any amount of money we lose, it affects us,” she said. “That’s why it’s critical to us.”
City transit center construction begins BY KATE STARR kastarr@indiana.edu
Bloomington Transit has started construction on a new transit center. The center will be on Third and Walnut Streets and should be completed within the next four months. The center is a joint project between Bloomington Transit and the City of Bloomington, said Lew May, general manager at Bloomington Transit. The building will have a second floor dedicated to the Bloomington/Monroe County 911 dispatch center, which is currently located at 223 E. Third St. The city is paying about $2 million in construction costs and Bloomington Transit about $5 million, May said. Money for the transit portion is coming from federal grants and local Bloomington Transit funds, May said. May mentioned
a number of components Bloomington Transit is adding to the new center. There will be canopies outside to shelter people from rain while waiting for the buses. The canopies will reach far enough to allow passengers to get on the bus without getting wet, May said. There will also be more passenger amenities on site, like public restrooms and airconditioning, which the current Bloomington Transit center on Fourth and Washington Streets does not have, May said. In an attempt to use more advanced technology, the construction staff is installing free wireless Internet for passengers waiting for buses at the center, May said, as well as digital information monitors with arrival times and bus tracking technologies. For a local touch, the center is being constructed with Indiana limestone.
May said Bloomington Transit’s goal of receiving lead silver certification will be met by installing more eco-friendly features such as energy efficient lighting, heating and cooling and permeable pavement. There are three different public art elements to the project. The city has commissioned Dale Enochs, a local artist, to install a mural on the west side of the building, said Miah Michaelsen, director of arts for Bloomington Economic and Sustainable Development. The mural is titled “Breakaway.” “He’s doing an aluminum mural that will be affixed to the wall,” Michaelsen said. “The mural indicates movement. Some of the imagery looks a bit like wheels, and it’s meant to be more abstract with the idea of transportation in mind.” In addition to the mural, Matt Ellenwood has been

Matlock Heights was awarded conservation district status on Wednesday by the Bloomington City Council. The Council approved this status with a 6-2 vote.
Conservation district approved FROM IDS REPORTS
The Bloomington City Council voted 6-2 Wednesday night to approve the Matlock Heights Conservation District. Those who voted against the proposal objected to the confusion of the process, city council member Chris Sturbaum said. “We recently upgraded our ordinance, and there’s a certain amount of uncertainty in people’s minds about how that’s going to work,” he said. There was also concern about the state law that forces a conservation district to become historic if the majority of property owners do not object in writing 60 to 180 days before the third anniversary of its establishment. The guidelines for this potential historic district within Matlock have not been drawn up.
Confusion aside, Sturbaum said he thinks the city council made the right decision. “The district had historic integrity from that post-war era, and the condition and neighborhood was worthy of being preserved, that was why it was supported,” he said. Built in the 1950s and 1960s, Matlock Heights has a mid-century modern feel to it. Sturbaum said the preservation of Matlock’s distinct character is likely to draw in buyers and investors in the future, which will be good for the economic development of the neighborhood. “In the end, it was really a pretty simple decision, and we should be proud to have the first district of mid-century modern houses in the state,” Sturbaum said. — Kate Starr
The new Bloomington Transit center will be located at the corner of Third and Walnut streets.
selected to design artistic benches and bike racks that will be located on the site. The bike racks will be hoop-style with an artistically designed “B” for Bloomington inside the hoop. There will be 22 of both the bike racks and benches, May said. May said he hopes the new design and features will better manage the increase in bus riders Bloomington Transit has experienced in the past few years. According to the City of Bloomington website, the city
hoped to increase the number of bus rides taken annually to 7.5 million by 2014. The number of rides per year had not surpassed 3.5 million by 2011. “We’ve outgrown the facility at Fourth and Washington, so the new site is going to give us future growth capability that we don’t have now,” May said. “It’s going to give us a larger facility that will accommodate more people.” — Kate Starr
Car chase suspect booked FROM IDS REPORTS
A Bloomington man who took county deputies and state police on a 20-mile car chase from Bloomington to Martinsville was booked into the Monroe County Jail Wednesday afternoon. Gregory Allen Prather, 38, faces preliminary charges of OWI refusal, a class A misdemeanor; resisting law enforcement, a class D felony; reckless driving, a class B misdemeanor; and vehicle theft, another class D felony. His bond is set at $4,000 surety and $500 cash. A Royal South Toyota employee saw Prather wandering around the dealership on South
Walnut Street Wednesday at 9:20 a.m., Bloomington Police Department Sgt. Steve Kellams said. After talking to Prather, the employee noticed him acting strangely and reported it to a manager. The manager asked Prather to leave the parking lot. Prather drove off in an employee’s maroon 2002 Honda Odyssey van, which had been idling in the lot for inspection. From 1980 to 2013, the average for vehicle theft in Bloomington was 156 per year. The greatest number of vehicles stolen was 262 in 1991. — Dennis Barbosa

Five things to know about the Campus Strategic Plan 1
FINANCIAL AID The draft proposes to cover a percentage of all undergraduate students’ financial aid needs through IU, and a four-year Provost scholarship for students who enter IU with 24 credit hours.
2
GLOBAL PRESENCE There’s already a gateway facility for potential students in India, and one is coming to China this summer. IU wants to expand its presence in 32 countries.
3
INTERDISCIPLINARY CURRICULUM The draft proposes the design of more interdisciplinary majors, minors and certificates, with Hutton Honors College as the hub.
4
EXPANDING ARTS AND HUMANITIES The draft proposes to expand the arts and humanities to encompass the whole campus, with the intention every student experiences them.
5
RESEARCH The draft proposes that every year for the next five years, two current or emerging areas of interest will be identified and researched by faculty.

Provost Lauren Robel Pro
» PLAN
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 introduction of a new Center for Excellence in STIM; and the creation of professional master degrees in certificates in every school in the college. Neither Robel nor officials elaborated, and much of the remaining language is even more vague. The draft announces a new focus on growing the number of underrepresented minorities at IU, without mentioning a specific solution. Hints at continued growth for online courses, recruitment efforts abroad and more efficient career advising also appeared in plans for undergraduate development. Standing in the way of those plans, though, are what Robel calls “grand challenges.” “We have a clear need to be able to knock down barriers to interdisciplinary work and to approach what many of the teams call ‘grand challenges,’” Robel said. “Big wicked problems that are important for the world to better, for academic institutions to take on, grapple and try to solve.”
“Grand challenges” is a phrase that often comes up throughout the document and is meant to encompass the significant problems that face each individual area of the plan. “IUB already provides an amazingly rich and engaging undergraduate experience. The grand challenge, then, is how do you take something great and make it even greater?” said Dennis Groth, co-chair of the undergraduate life committee. A large part of the undergraduate life section laid out a plan for the different schools within IU to work together, as well as to work globally with other institutions. “Interdisciplinary approaches and globalization are key elements for the plan, and for good reason,” Groth said. “Clearly, the benefits of bringing together diverse skill sets, knowledge frameworks, and perspectives always yields the best solutions to the wicked problems we expect out students to be prepared to solve. What we do, what we create, what we collaborate on, all have global contexts and impacts.”
POST-GRAD ON FAST TRACK The graduate education section of the plan most notably includes expanding financial aid for students in the graduate program and to reducing the time to complete a Ph.D. “I think that we all feel very strongly that it’s frankly a moral issue to assure that our students don’t wander off path or fail to be able to complete their graduate degrees, because they can’t get the funding to do it or they can’t get the support or the guidance,” Robel said. The plan also outlined proposals to recruit more international students and create online graduate programs for every school. TARGETED RESEARCH The plan envisions IU to advance its reputation for world-class research. The draft proposes that every year for the next five years, deans and faculty will be required to identify emerging areas of importance for research. According to the plan, IU needs to position itself as a preferred collaborator and develop “strategic partnerships” in and outside the
government. “One of the things that we have to be able to do in the sciences is really be strategic about where are sciences so expensive, where can we be the best, because that’s where funding will actually go,” Robel said. “One concept that runs through this report is the concept of being a preferred collaborator. What does it take to be a collaborator of choice in the sciences in the global realm?” Robel said it’s a two-part answer: the ability for IU to be really good at something, and that IU can’t have policies that deter partnerships. “It’s a little phrase, but there’s a lot that sits underneath it,” Robel said. CHANGING TENURE According to the plan, decisions about family leave will not negatively affect tenure. It’s a move Robel said is part of efforts to make IU more family friendly. It outlined the possibility for child-care opportunities and expanding opportunities for faculty to work elsewhere while teaching. That’s not all for faculty. Their section is the second-largest of the plan, and
outlines an initiative to bring in more diverse faculty that is valuable throughout the University. Retaining faculty is another mission for the plan. Faculty might be able to teach in different schools. IU’S GLOBAL REACH The international initiatives section outlined IU’s goal to become a more globalized campus, most notably through gateway centers in other countries. Gateway centers are IU offices located outside of the U.S. that provide a hub for students to have a home away from home for experiential learning, conducting research and field study, said M.A. Venkataramanan, vice provost and chair of the international initiatives for programs and facilities committee. IU already has a gateway center in India, and another is set to open in China by June 2014. Robel said she expects three or four more centers to open in the next couple of years. RENEWED PROGRAMS The final section of the plan outlined an initia-
tive to renew programs and outreach. It outlined a plan to expand IU’s arts and humanities programs across campus, making it so every student will have the opportunity to see a theater production or attend an art exhibit during their time at IU. “A goal of that is to really bring together the impact of all of the cultural institutions that we have in Bloomington that are just phenomenal,” Robel said. IU wants to ensure that when students leave this place, Robel said, they leave as passionate advocates for the arts and humanities. “We have the enormous privilege of having students with us from all over the world, but also from all over our state and all over our country,” Robel said. “And many students come from places where they’ve never had the opportunity to engage in the arts and humanities the way they can on this campus.” Follow reporter Kathrine Schulze on Twitter @KathrineSchulze.
» BASKETBALL
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 performance. IU shot 4-of18 from 3-point range. “No question, when you don’t have as many outside shooters, the defense dictates so much of how the offense is going to look,” IU Coach Tom Crean said on Monday’s Big Ten coaches teleconference. The Wildcats came into Assembly Hall and controlled the pace of the game, limiting IU to only four fastbreak points. Northwestern, the worst team in the Big Ten in rebound margin, held IU to a one-rebound advantage on the boards. Despite freshman forward Noah Vonleh’s 17-point, 12-rebound performance, Crean said Vonleh isn’t as aggressive as he needs to be with the ball. “Some of that is the offensive rebounding, some of that is taking advantage of driving opportunities when they’re there, some of that is being ready to shoot, some of that is not looking to pass the ball as soon as he catches it,” Crean said. The Hoosiers have the opportunity to set the tone in Welsh-Ryan Arena. Through Wednesday, IU is 62nd in the country in adjusted tempo, according to kenpom.com. The Wildcats are the 334th-slowest team in the nation. Crean said defenses can’t dictate how the Hoosiers move on offense. “A person in movement has constantly got to be trying to create a look, trying to create an opportunity

for someone else,” he said. “That’s why transition is good for us. That’s why transition pick and rolls are good for us because the game’s in movement and the defense isn’t set yet.” IU will have a clear advantage if it turns Saturday’s matchup into a track meet, because of its depth.
Ten Hoosiers played against Northwestern in January. Northwestern Coach Chris Collins used an eightman rotation against IU, but only six Wildcats played significant minutes. Senior guard James Montgomery III played less than a minute and senior forward Nikola Ce-
rina, who played four minutes at Assembly Hall, is suspended for Saturday’s game after throwing a punch against Ohio State Wednesday. At IU’s press conference Tuesday, after the IU vs. Iowa game was postponed after a metal plating fell from Assembly Hall’s ceiling, Cre-
LAST CHANCE
an said the team was ready to play but the Hoosiers would have to adjust to the schedule change. “It’s all part of resiliency, you just get ready to go do what you have to do when it’s time to do it,” Crean said. It has been nearly three weeks since IU’s last win and with only six regular season
games remaining, the time is now if the Hoosiers are going to make a run towards an NCAA Tournament bid in the home stretch. Follow reporter Andy Wittry on Twitter @AndyWittry .

OPINION EDITORS: CONNOR RILEY & EDUARDO SALAS | OPINION@IDSNEWS.COM
Our picks for this year’s
LITTLE 500 concert Every year, the Union Board campaigns to bring big names to perform at the annual Little 500 concert, and each year we get our hopes up for something epic. This year's prospects are no different, from the totally exciting (Ke$ha!) to the totally ridiculous (Pitbull?). The Editorial Board came together to rank the potential Little 500 concerts from awesome but unlikely, pretty good and more likely, mildly offensive, and completely out of the question.
ILLUSTRATIONS BY CONNOR RILEY AND GRIFFIN LEEDS
Kanye West
Ke$ha
The chances Yeezus brings the good word to IU? Slim to none. Because, let’s be honest, we aren’t good enough for Kanye. After all, he is God.
We can all just agree this would be the absolute best Little Five concert ever. Like, actually ever. Ke$ha embodies everything the week of Little Five stands for — debauchery, sleaze, glitter, skimpy clothing and all-American fun. We implore you, Union Board, make this happen. We’ll never complain about Sublime again.
Sure, he’ll always be Jimmy from “Degrassi: The Next Generation” to us. But Drake’s become one of the best rappers in the game with four hit albums and countless chart-topping singles, so it’s highly unlikely we’re going to get him for Little Five.
A$Ap Rocky
Vampire Weekend
Frank Ocean
“Fuckin’ Problems” was one of the best songs we heard in 2013, and it would be a fucking problem if we didn’t get A$AP for Little Five this year. He isn’t huge enough to turn down performing in Assembly Hall, so this one might actually be in he cards for us. Here’s hoping.
The foursome has played in Bloomington before, so making an appearance for Little Five isn’t out of the question. But hot off the success of their most critically adored album, “Modern Vampires of the City,” they might be a little too busy to make a stop in Hoosier Nation.
“Channel Orange” was one of the most critically-acclaimed albums of 2012. Which was why it was exciting when rumors of a Frank Ocean Little Five concert started swirling ... last year. It would still be pretty cool this year, but the buzz has died down.
Childish Gambino
Icona Pop
Lana Del Rey
Now that Donald Glover isn’t busy starring in “Community,” he’s got plenty of time to perform at this year’s Little Five concert. But, to be honest, he wouldn’t be all that exciting. The hipsters would rejoice, but that rest of us might want to stay home instead.
We don’t care, we love it! We could all go crazy if the Swedish dance duo graced Assembly Hall with its presence for Little Five. But we’re not sure they have any other songs to play besides that one we all know. At least it would be one wild 2 1/2 minute ride.
Yes, Lana Del Rey is the distant beauty pageant queen pop music needed. Her sultry low voice and blank stare would make for a distinctive Little Five concert experience, but it’s not like anyone turns up for Lana Del Rey. Lana Del Rey at Lollapalooza? Yes. Lana Del Rey at Little Five? Not so much.
Drake
John Mayer
fun.
Pitbull
Mayer’s dude-with-a-guitar-and-feelingss mantra has no place at Little Five. His songs are boring and they haven’t been relevant since the mid-2000s. If by some curse of the gods we get saddled with Mayer, maybe he’ll at least bring his girlfriend, Katy Perry. Now there’s a girl who could put on a Little Five concert.
Oh, please no. Fun’s Broadway-style pop and groan-inducing anthems have no place at this year’s Little Five festivities. If we have to hear “We Are Young” or “Carry On” one more time, we’re going to lose it.
This would just be a joke. Nobody wants Pitbull for Little Five, and if they do, they should be expelled from IU. Pitbull is allowed to come only if Ke$ha performs and she needs him for “Timber.”
LETTER TO THE EDITOR POLICY
Where’s Iggy? It’s depressing to think no one on Union Board suggested Iggy Azalea, that rapping Barbie from Down Under, for the Little Five concert. Azalea could wipe the floor with Nicki Minaj, one of 2011’s Little Five performers. If you haven’t heard of her, YouTube “Pu$$y” or “Work” right now. We’ll be surprised if you don’t petition Union Board to get Azalea here immediately.

Men’s tennis team to play No. 18 Vanderbilt The No. 58 IU men’s tennis team returns to action Friday against No. 18 Vanderbilt and unranked Toledo following a 12-day layoff. The Hoosiers are 5-1 at home this season, and the team views this home court advantage as a
possible edge against the Commodores. “We want to defend our home courts, we play well on our home courts,” IU Coach Randy Bloemendaal said. Read the full story at idsnews.com.

Baseball faces Pac-12 teams BY ALDEN WOODS aldwoods@indiana.edu
Despite an opening weekend that has the IU baseball team already embroiled in a three-game losing streak, IU Coach Tracy Smith said he sees no reason to worry about his team heading into a three-game slate this weekend. As part of the inaugural Big Ten-Pac 12 Challenge, No. 10 IU will square off with Washington, Utah and No. 2 Oregon State on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, respectively. The Hoosiers’ ninth-year coach said his team’s inability to practice outside due to a particularly harsh Indiana weather led to some earlyseason rust that was difficult to shake off. “It’s a tendency early in the season, when you come outside for the first time, we’re going to be a little wild fright, you’re going to be jumpy,” Smith said. “I think our guys were just that — were a little jumpy at the plate. I don’t
like losing, certainly, but I’m not too worried about it.” The Hoosiers are projected to start three lefthanders during the weekend — reigning Big Ten Pitcher of the Week and senior Joey DeNato, junior Kyle Hart and sophomore Will Coursen-Carr. Smith said he will look to see more consistency from a pitching staff that allowed 16 walks to Texas Tech last weekend. “I thought we were a little sloppy from the sense of just the consistency of strikes,” he said. “I think we had 15 walks or something on the weekend. A little sloppy on the mound.” In that season-opening series in Lubbock, Tex., IU’s nationally-hyped offense sputtered, scratching across only eight runs after putting 6.7 runs per game on the scoreboard last season. The No. 2 through No. 5 hitters in IU’s lineup — a group that includes preseason All-American juniors Kyle Schwarber and Sam Travis — were held to 11-60
“I think we’ve got to get more time outside, get in a rhythm a little bit, but this team’s going to hit, so I’m not worried about them.” Tracy Smith, head coach
throughout the weekend, a .183 batting average. Smith said IU’s offensive struggles don’t concern him, as the team was able to practice outside only once in the preseason. “I’m not worried about us offensively, it’s one of those things,” he said. “I think we’ve got to get more time outside, get in a rhythm a little bit, but this team’s going to hit, so I’m not worried about them.” Looming over the weekend’s first two games is Oregon State, who knocked IU out of the College World Series in 2013. As the nation’s No. 2 team, the Beavers are the most highly-ranked opponent on the Hoosiers’ 2014 schedule. Smith said he won’t focus on the matchup. “I think right now, our whole focus needs to be on Indiana and getting Indiana
right and put together our good at-bats every time to the plate and our pitchers throwing strikes, not walking people,” he said. He said the Hoosiers’ leadership will not allow their slow start to the season to affect them. “Our guys are a confident group. It’s four baseball games, which is not going to change how we feel about that,” Smith said. “We’re just going to go out and keep going and doing what we do. “I think if we do that, we concentrate on that and not worry about the other stuff, that at the end of the day we’ll be on the winning side of the ledger probably a lot more than the losing side.” Follow reporter Alden Woods on Twitter @acw9293.
IU to play Oregon State in rematch BY EVAN HOOPFER ehoopfer@indiana.edu
Then-freshman shortstop Nick Ramos’ ground ball rolled toward third base. The throw reached first before Ramos, recording the final out of the game. The out also secured the final out of the best baseball season in IU history. Oregon State beat IU 1-0 last year in an ultimate pitchers’ duel in the College World Series, ending the historic run. “It will definitely be in the back of our minds,” senior
pitcher Brian Korte said. No. 10 IU (1-3) will get another shot at No. 2 Oregon State (4-0) at 1 p.m. Sunday in Surprise, Ariz. “It’ll be nice to see them again,” Korte said. The Oregon State program has been a baseball powerhouse. Ever since Coach Pat Casey took charge in 1995, the Beavers have had just two losing seasons. In 2006 and 2007, Oregon State was the national champion. This year appears to be no different. In all the major
polls, Oregon State is ranked in the top four in the nation. In the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association poll, the Beavers are No. 1. This could be the best team the Hoosiers face all year, IU Coach Tracy Smith said. “Unless they come up with a team that’s (ranked) .5,” Smith joked. “Yeah, it doesn’t get any better than that.” Smith seems to be leaning toward sophomore Will Coursen-Carr for the start Sunday. He said he wouldn’t save senior ace Joey DeNato for Sunday because
the Beavers are just another opponent and shouldn’t be treated as special. In his first start of the season against Texas Tech, Coursen-Carr gave up five earned runs in 4.1 innings. “The schedule is to do Coursen-Carr on Sunday,” Smith said. “But if we have to bring him in Friday or Saturday then we’ll definitely do that.” Follow reporter Evan Hoopfer on Twitter @EvanHoopfer.
As the old adage goes, lightning doesn’t strike the same place twice. This saying applies to IU and Northwestern. But instead of lightning, the adage should say “an abysmal offensive performance that set basketball back 40 years can’t strike twice.” It doesn’t have as good a ring to it, but it’s true. When Northwestern came to Assembly Hall on Jan. 18 and beat IU 54-47, I was surprised. I was surprised not with how well the Wildcats played, but instead with how bad the Hoosiers were. I mean, IU missed a total of 49 shots. They were a downright horrid 25 percent from the field. It was the worst offensive performance by far for the Hoosiers this year. Sophomore guard Kevin “Yogi” Ferrell must have left his Superman cape at the dry cleaners. The usually good Ferrell was 2-for14 from the field for just nine points. That was the only conference game where Ferrell has scored singledigit points. In fact, that’s the only time Ferrell has scored fewer than 14 points in Big Ten play. The point is, Ferrell is really good at scoring points. He won’t have another 2-of-14 game against Northwestern. Freshman guard Stanford Robinson played only 11 minutes in the first meeting. Even though he’s been struggling lately on the offensive end, Robinson is still a great perimeter defender. Robinson, in addition to Ferrell, should do a better job of shutting down the backcourt of Tre Demps and Drew Crawford. The Wildcat backcourt combined for 32 points on 13-of-27 shooting. Freshman sensation Noah Vonleh had a monster game. He had 17 points and 12 rebounds. The Wildcats didn’t have

an answer for Vonleh. But he was pretty inefficient. Vonleh was only 5-of-15 from the field. For a big man, he should be a little better. Expect the Hoosiers to dump the ball inside more to Vonleh, and see him convert more of his opportunities this time around. Look, I’m not saying every Hoosier has to have a Yogi vs. Michigan game — Ferrell went 7-of-8 from three en route to a dazzling 27 points in case you forgot. The Hoosiers just have to be average to beat Northwestern. Neither team has been playing well lately. IU has lost three straight games. And Northwestern has lost four straight after winning five of seven conference games in the middle of the season. In this battle of potential National Invitations Tournament teams, it won’t be the best who wins. The key will be who can be the most average. And IU’s average is better then Northwestern’s average. I think. In the first matchup, IU played well below their average. In fact, the Hoosiers were horrible. The IU coaches will adjust the game plan, and the terrific tandem of Ferrell and Vonleh won’t go a combined 7-for-29 again. They just can’t. IU will get off the schneid and pick up its second road win of the season. Prediction: IU 62, Northwestern 51 Evan Hoopfer is 9-6 in predictions this year.

Hoosier softball team seeks to break losing streak BY DAN MATNEY cdmatney@indiana.edu
After starting the season with a record of 1-9, which includes a nine-game losing streak, the IU softball team is looking to improve in the Lipton Invitational. The Hoosiers will face Coastal Carolina, No. 1 Florida, Georgia Southern and Troy. IU Coach Michelle Gardner said the key for this weekend is to play solid all-around games on both offense and defense.
“We need good pitching, defense and we need to score some runs,” Gardner said. “We need to put some hits together. We have been hitting OK this season, we just haven’t had timely hits.” The Hoosiers start the competition Friday against Coastal Carolina, who is off to a 5-1 start this season. Carolina averages almost six runs per game this season after averaging just more than three runs per game through the first six games last year. Junior third baseman
Kory Hayden leads Coastal Carolina with five home runs this season, while sophomore outfielder Bri Chiusano has a six-game hitting streak. The Hoosiers will play Florida on Friday night and Saturday afternoon. Florida is currently 120, which includes a 9-4 win against No. 5 Michigan. Florida’s three starting pitchers each have a 4-0 record. Haeger, who has the lowest estimated run average on the team of .78, also leads
the teams with five home runs and is second on the team in hits with 14. Gardner said though Florida is a good team, facing the Gators is no different than playing against some of the top teams in the Big Ten. “The bottom line is that competing against Florida isn’t much different than competing against teams like Michigan,” she said. “It doesn’t matter what jersey the opposing team is wearing. We need to take care of our business. The rest will take care of itself.”
IU will face Georgia Southern in the second game of Saturday’s doubleheader. Their early season success can partially be attributed to the team’s defensive performance. Georgia Southern is allowing an opposing batting average of .189 while allowing just 15 runs. The Hoosiers wrap up the weekend against Troy University. Troy has a 4-5-1 record, including a 17-0 victory against Savannah State last weekend.
IU senior infielder Breanna Saucedo, who leads the Hoosiers in hits and runs scored, said the team needs to take things an inning at a time in order to be successful this weekend. “We need to focus on our goals,” Saucedo said. “We need to win innings and individual at-bats. “We need to take small victories as they come.” Follow reporter Dan Matney on Twitter @Dan_Matney

RPS employees receive award for MAC banners BY SIERRA GARDNER sigardne@indiana.edu
Five of IU’s Residential Programs and Services employees were recently honored with the E. Ross Bartley Award for remaking the large, iconic banners that hang in the Musical Arts Center. The E. Ross Bartley Award is the highest award an IU staff member can receive. Kathy Duncan, Adria Boruff, Lucy Cabrera, Connie Ducker and Jenna Salyers work in the RPS sewing room, where they produce many of the furnishings that hang in campus residence halls. The team remade the two 21-by-21 foot banners that hang in the MAC after they had become faded by the sun. This is the third fabrication of the banners due to sun exposure. “It’s not something we normally do,” said Boruff, one of the seamstresses. “When they brought the project to us, nobody knew what to do with it. It was a big deal for everyone to get it back up.” Designed by renowned artist George Earl Ortman, the abstract banners have hung in the MAC since it was dedicated in 1972. The banners comprise blue horizontal and yellow vertical lines, along with red circles and diamonds. The team began remaking the banners in September and finished in
mid-December. Seamstress Kathy Duncan said the banners’ size posed a challenge. “We did not have enough room to lay it out, so we had to go to the Hoosier Den to have the room to lay it flat,” she said. “It was originally in the MAC, so it meant a lot to have everything back to how it was before. It took a lot of effort and work, so it meant a lot to us to be recognized.” IU President Michael McRobbie presented the award to the five women during the re-dedication ceremony Feb. 15. “Indiana University is grateful to these five wonderful staff members whose dedication and skill have ensured that these acclaimed and much-loved works of art are once again hanging proudly in the MAC,” McRobbie said in a press release. The E. Ross Bartley award is given to “a member of the administrative or support staff who demonstrates outstanding leadership skills, service and professional accomplishment at the local, state or national level,” according to the IU website “It’s very special to us,” Boruff said. “It was a very big deal for us. We got to work on it together. It means so much to us, and to me.”

Chemistry major Andjela Radmilovic spends most of her time in labs, but in between studying chemical bonds and formulas, she finds time to express herself through art. Hutton Honors College was host to HHART, which stands for Huttong Honors art. Its Hutton’s fourth annual Art Gala, at 7:30 p.m. Thursday. Students of several different majors had their art work displayed at the gallery. IU junior Andjela Radmilovic said she has been involved in the gala for three years and displayed one painting at the event. The painting was for her sister, she said, who moved into a new apartment in Chicago and had a blank
wall to fill with a painting. Her sister planned to buy a piece somewhere until Radmilovic promised to make her the painting. The piece was based on a candid photo taken of the two on a boat, and she used last night’s event to surprise her sister, who came to visit and see the show. HHART’s main goal is to showcase student’s art, which usually doesn’t get as much attention as work from art majors, IU senior Nicole Silvernell, committee chair of the event, said. “It gives students a way to actually showcase their work and not be judged by it,” Silvernell said. “You don’t have to be an art major. We really just want to show that what you do in your spare time actually means something.” The English major has

been involved with HHART since her freshman year and said she is really passionate about it. HHART began in 2010 and has since displayed a large variety of art forms including dance, singing, film, dress designs, paintings, drawing, poetry, screenplays and band performances. Biochemistry major Taylor Harmon has been involved for three years and plays at the gala with his blues band, “Lost Catfish.” His band started in 2011 after he met his other member, Jack Whittle, in Eigenmann Residence Hall his freshman year. After performing at HHART their freshman year, they’ve been asked back to perform every year since. “A lot of people who
perform at the event aren’t even music or art majors,” Harmon said. “I think it’s great because it allows people who otherwise wouldn’t have a medium of expression for their art to showcase it.” Harmon was one of about 20 performance artists playing last night, and one of about 60 students participating overall. “I love HHART because it allows people to see how multitalented college students are,” Radmilovic said. “People have various interests and I love that this celebrates that.” Follow Alison Graham on Twitter @AlisonGraham218.

BHSS English teacher Shela McDermott-Sipe was the organizer of the competition at BHSS. She said students select poems from an anthology provided by the organization.

Athletes to run in qualifiers BY TORI ZIEGE vziege@indiana.edu
The Alex Wilson Invitational is the premier destination this weekend for collegiate track and field teams across the Midwest. National contenders will flock to South Bend for the last chance to punch their ticket to the NCAA Indoor Championships in Albuquerque, N.M. IU track and field will look to set up its distance medley relay to compete at the national meet for the fifth consecutive year. But first, the team needs to qualify. The distance medley relay combines the 1,200-, 400-, 800- and 1,600-meter runs. Sophomore Jordan Gornall will lead the three-quarter mile leg, followed by senior Derrick Morgan in the quarter and freshman Tre’tez Kinnaird in the half. A new face will anchor
this season’s distance medley relay. For the first time this season, junior Rorey Hunter will close out the final leg for the Hoosiers’ distance medley. IU Coach Ron Helmer said Hunter’s aggressive performance at the Hoosier Hills Invitational led him to make the change in the lineup. “You have to go with whoever’s hot,” Helmer said. “Last weekend I saw two really aggressive races out of him. He seems to have things figured out.” After winning the 3-kilometer race at the Purdue dual meet last month, Hunter said he went through a slump. Struggling both mentally and physically with a minor hip injury, Hunter had a breakthrough last weekend at IU’s final home meet of the indoor season. With personal records in the 1,200- and 800-meter, Hunter said he feels confident.
“I feel good,” Hunter said. “I had a few mediocre races, but I got my head right. I got some good momentum going after this weekend.” At the Hoosier Hills Invitational last weekend, the distance medley relay clocked in at 9:40.51. Based on last year’s times, the quartet of Gornall, Morgan, Kinnaird and Hunter will need to shave 10 seconds off that time if they want to qualify for the national meet. The Alex Wilson Invitational will provide them ample opportunity. Last weekend, the Hoosiers were left on their own, with no one to push them through the final laps on Gladstein’s small, 200-meter track. This weekend the men will be racing on the Loftus Center’s oversized 320-meter track. The space and the competitive field — which Helmer said could yield as many as 12 national qualifiers — are two advantageous components of
competing at Alex Wilson. “I know a lot of big schools with a lot of fast times are going to be there,” said Morgan. “We’ll have more competition and a bigger track, which will allow everybody to go a lot faster than this previous weekend.” That’s not to mention Hunter — the relay’s secret weapon. As a member of last year’s fourth-place distance medley relay at nationals, his experience could prove irreplaceable as he carries this year’s relay in the final stretch. “The boys are in good shape,” Hunter said. “Tre’tez is ready to have a big one, Jordan is ready to go and Derrick as well. If I just put my nose in it and stick it hard with those final four or five guys, then I think I can keep up and bring it home for us.” Follow reporter Tori Ziege on Twitter @ToriZiege.
The seniors on the IU women’s basketball team don’t want to end their careers at Assembly Hall like they did Wednesday against Michigan. IU (17-9, 4-9) led by six at halftime, but its lead quickly evaporated in the second half. Senior forward Simone Deloach said the Hoosiers lost their toughness, leading to a 70-58 loss. Deloach and the rest of the senior class — Sasha Chaplin, Andrea Newbauer and Milika Taufa, along with senior transfer Tabitha Gerardot — have one final regular season home game at 3:30 p.m. Saturday against Illinois. The seniors have put extra emphasis on the game to end their careers at Assembly Hall on a positive note. “It definitely is (added motivation),” Deloach said. “It’s going to be an emotional game. It will probably bring out some better emotions within us for the seniors and the entire team. I think it will be a good boost to help push us through.” IU’s three true seniors went 26-63 during their first three years at IU, winning only six Big Ten games. Following a 6-24 season their sophomore year, IU fired Coach Felisha LegetteJack and hired IU Coach Curt Miller. Miller quickly drew up a rebuilding plan and began to work on revitalizing the struggling IU program. He not only brought in new schemes on the court, but he also put an emphasis on setting the foundation for making IU a program capable of regularly competing for national championships in the future. Miller said this year’s seniors were a big part in building the locker room he needed. “The initial buy-in hap-
pened off the court,” Miller said. “They tried to build a locker room chemistry and not smaller cliques. It was really important that we had their buy-in early, and they did.” Chaplin, a sixth-year graduate student who is celebrating her second senior day after being granted an extra year of eligibility, said she has been impressed with the way the program has grown since coming to IU six years ago. She watched as Cook Hall was built during her tenure, but said the biggest growth has been the fans. “We’ve had good moments in those previous seasons where we did well, and we had those moments where we didn’t do so well,” Chaplin said. “Just the community actually coming and standing behind us these past seasons. It’s really cool to see more fans show up and to embrace the game.” This season, fans watched IU win 17 games with at least four more games remaining. It’s the most games the program has won since the 2008-09 season. Though there is still basketball left to play, this year’s senior class leaves the program well before IU is ready to become the powerhouse team Miller is trying to create. Instead, they’ve laid the framework for future players. “It’s actually pretty good to see the program making those stepping stones and us this year as well as last year laying that foundation for the program,” Deloach said. “It’s a great feeling leaving with a positive note with the system.” Follow reporter Sam Beishuizen on Twitter @Sam_Beishuizen
