asking her if she would be interested in working at two new sister companies, Sake Bar and Japonee Express. She said she enjoys working there and hopes to add shifts at the remodeled restaurant, which will be called Japonee rather than Japanee. “It was part of Bloomington,” Chong said of the original restaurant. “A lot of people really liked our restaurant. Now everyone is asking ‘When will you open again?’”

The renovated restaurant smelled of a fresh coat of paint and new lumber. Gray stone waterfalls hung on wood-paneled walls that betrayed no traces of smoke damage. The sushi bar had moved from the right to the left side, but the Japanese-Korean restaurant Japonee looked much the same as it had before a three-alarm fire damaged the building in 2012. Landlord Han Chong adjusted his thick-rimmed glasses, enthusiastically explaining the new additions — a hibachi grill on a new second floor, high ceilings, large flat screen televisions, French-influenced Japanese food. He plans to open in March. “I hope it just at least goes back to the business we had before,” Chong said. “That’s all we’re hoping.” * * * Server Lilay Cai worked at Japanee for three days before flames engulfed the restaurant on 320 N. Walnut St. On the morning of Sept. 24, 2012, electrical wiring in a refrigerator sparked a fire in the kitchen, Chong said. Though the

Bloomington Fire Department contained the fire itself, smoke and water caused damage throughout the restaurant. BFD Chief Roger Kerr confirmed the fire was completely accidental and no one was injured. Cai heard about the fire while walking to her 11:15 a.m. class through a text from co-owner Janice Zhan, wife of co-owner Jian Zhang “Charlie” Shi. “I thought it was a joke,” she said. “I reread it three times.” Less than a decade after opening and less than a year after a $250,000 renovation, the restaurant was closed temporarily.
“I was shocked,” Chong said. “I was just thinking about insurance.” When Cai went to pick up her check at the charred location, the sign reading “Japanee” was covered in ashes. * * * Within the three days she worked there, Cai said she had established friendships with couples who ate regularly at the restaurant. “It was super popular,” she said, explaining she often saw students she recognized from class. In April, Cai received a call from Japanee owner Bokang Park
* * * The Bloomington Plan Commission approved the addition of a second story and a 4,800 square feet extension to what was left of Japanee in June 2013. At the time, Chong said he hoped the construction would be finished within five months. He tentatively planned to open in August of that year. “We waited to get started,” he said of the delay. “We don’t want to open until it’s ready.” Chong envisions a gradual opening of Japonee within the next couple of weeks, with the new upstairs hibachi grill opening after the main floor sushi bar.

Strategic Plan outlines global initiatives BY KATHRINE SCHULZE schulzek@indiana.edu @KathrineSchulze
IU’s reach exceeds its seven campuses, stretching across borders to make its mark in almost every corner of the world. Students might know IU works on this global outreach through study abroad, but the University is using a new platform to further its international stance — gateway facilities. Gateway facilities are IU offices outside the U.S. that focus on research collaborations with faculty in other countries, programming for overseas alumni, fundraising and other related activities, said David Zaret, vice president for international affairs. Each facility has an academic director. “One use of the gateway would be for IU faculty to organize a mini conference or a workshop with their foreign colleagues,” Zaret said. “The goal of this would be to explore shared areas of interests and possible research collaborations in the
future.” Part of IU Provost Lauren Robel’s strategic plan’s international initiatives section proposed to utilize and expand these gateway facilities. Already, IU has a gateway facility that opened last year in Gurgaon, India, near New Delhi, and is renovating another facility in Beijing, China. The locations of the facilities are on a list of 32 countries that IU wants to focus on for partnerships. But the list doesn’t mean only 32 countries are of interest to IU. Zaret said IU faculty research in or travel to any country, but the University is focusing on the 32 listed nations. Besides India and China, other countries on the list are Kenya, Spain and Egypt. Currently, IU has partners in both India and China to help with the facilities. India is partner to the American Institute of India Studies, which also sponsors the Dhar India studies program at IU. China’s gateway facility is partner to CERNET. “What I hope to see in the future

is not just that people just in India are using the gateway, but that it becomes much more of a part of this international competency which we have for our students,” said Michael Dodson, academic director for the IU gateway in Gugaon. No new facilities will open soon in other countries, Zaret said. “We are mainly concerned with renovating the space in both of these facilities and then beginning to ramp up activities at them,” Zaret said. Basically, the space is being renovated to bring it up to what we might think of as “IU standards,” Dodson said. The facilities include individual offices, an office for group work and a large seminar room with teleconferencing capabilities, Zaret said. Renovations in China will be more extensive because the local custom is to rip out everything from leased space in a building down to the bare walls, bare floors and any existing internal walls, Zaret said. “The gateway facility allows us to foster out partnerships with

The personal data of about 146,000 IU students and recent graduates, which IU stored in an insecure location for 11 months, was accessed by webcrawlers from Google, a science-specific search engine called Scirus and a Chinese search engine called Baidu during that period, IU spokesperson Mark Bruhn said. According to an IU news release, IU officials notified the Indiana attorney general’s office Tuesday of the potential exposure of personal data, including names and Social Security numbers, for students enrolled across seven IU campuses from 2011 to 2014. Webcrawlers are automated data mining applications used by search engines to traverse the web and download files. Similar to Google, Baidu generates revenue by offering online marketing services, according to the company’s website. Scirus has been retired, according to its website.

Dads’ ages affect birth defects BY SUZANNE GROSSMAN spgrossm@indiana.edu @suzannepaige6
With every birthday, men who plan to be fathers put their unborn child at a higher risk of serious psychiatric and developmental disorders. In a new study, IU researchers discovered babies born to older fathers are more prone to psychiatric and academic problems than previously thought. “We were predicting very serious problems like autism, ADHD, suicide and schizophrenia with these better research designs,” said Brian D’Onofrio, lead author of the study and professor in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at IU. “The findings were much higher than we expected.” The sample set of data was large, coming from every one of the 2.6 million people born in Sweden from 1973 until 2001. That’s the largest to date for this area of study, according to D’Onofrio. From this sample, researchers saw that when a child born to a 24-year-old father was compared to a child born to a 45-year-old father, the latter turned out 3.5 times more likely to have autism, 13 times more likely to have ADHD, two times more likely to have a psychotic disorder, 25 times more likely to have bipolar disorder and 2.5 times more likely to have suicidal behavior or a substance abuse problem. Scandinavian countries such as Sweden don’t have
as many policies regarding privacy when it comes to health records as the U.S., the Department Chair of Psychological and Brain Sciences, Bill Hetrick, said. This enabled so many people to be included in the sample, which never would have been allowed with U.S. health privacy policy, Hetrick said. “It demonstrates what can be done with linked electronic medical and health records with educational documents,” Hetrick said. “Scandinavian records prove important to answer these questions. The methodology they use to make records available to analyze is of tremendous value to society.” This study is the most comprehensive study to date on the effects of paternal aging on childbearing, according to an IU Newsroom press release. Unlike any other study regarding paternal aging on childbirth, this is the first one to compare siblings and cousins, D’Onofrio said. This allowed researchers to focus on the biological concerns more than environmental concerns of childbearing age. “We know men who have children at a very early age are different than men who have children later on,” D’Onofrio said. “Our ability to compare siblings and cousins whose fathers were different ages gave us a better handle of what are the real concerns of childbearing age.” Studying cousins also
helps examine the effects birth order and sibling influence may have had on the study’s results, D’Onofrio said. The researchers also controlled factors such as parent income and education to see if household stability had any effects. But the results were the same despite income and education levels. D’Onofrio said he believes the high rates of psychiatric problems in children born to older parents is because men producing sperm throughout their lives. When sperm replicate, there is a chance for a DNA mutation. Also, as men age, they are exposed to more environmental toxins, which can cause mutations in sperm, D’Onofrio said. “There are more genetic mutations in sperm of older men,” D’Onofrio said. “Mutations then are also have been associated with more psychiatric problems.” Within the topic of parental age on childbirth, paternal aging is a new hot topic for researchers D’Onofrio said. He said he equates this to trends of waiting to have children. “Historically there has been an increase in the average age of men and women having children,” D’Onofrio said. “In fact, in most recent recession, more people waited to have children.” Research like this shines light on the negative consequences of waiting to have children, and D’Onofrio
said he hopes it helps people make more informed choices. D’Onofrio “This research should help inform couples and society at large to consider both the pros and cons of delaying childbearing.” D’Onofrio said he admits the study needs to be replicated and needs more advanced research designs to better estimate paternal age factors in child bearing. More genetic research and research on possible environmental associations need to be looked into as well, D’Onofrio said. D’Onofrio said he finds many people interested in the issue because the wide scope of people it affects. “Mental health problems affect all of us,” D’Onofrio said. “Whether ourselves, our family, or close friends it’s an important topic for the general public to know about.” Finally, though paternal aging does pose risks for children developing psychiatric problems, D’Onofrio said he doesn’t want people thinking this happens every time men of older age have children. “It’s an important public health questions, but I must stress not all children born to older men have psychiatric problems,” D’Onofrio said. “It is an increased risk, though, they should consider.”

Union Board showcases local musical talent BY GRACE PALMIERI gpalmier@indiana.edu @grace_palmieri
When Tessa Angermeier left the stage after her 20-minute set, she was immediately greeted by a new fan. Graduate student Ian Michalski was studying in the Indiana Memorial Union Starbucks Wednesday, but didn’t expect to be serenaded. “They were very relaxed in their music style and tempo so it wasn’t too distracting to get work done,” Michalski said. “At first I wasn’t excited. I thought I might have to move depending on the quality of the work and nature of it, but I was pleasantly surprised by the first three acts, especially Tessa Angermeier.” Michalski approached Angermeier just seconds after her performance for the Gallery Evening Music Series. “You were amazing,” he said. “And I love everything you do.” Angermeier was just one of five performances by IU student artists at the IMU Gallery. Union Board’s Live from Bloomington committee organized the music series, which began at the beginning of the school year. Last night was the first performance of the spring semester. “My whole committee is very rooted into the whole local scene, so I’m just like, ‘who has a friend who wants to play?’” Union Board Committee Director Connor Foy said. “I go to the Bluebird, house shows and just talk to bands after they play sets.” The music series is a biweekly event. The committee plans to have five performance this semester. In addition to Angermeier, students Juan-Jose Trip Jaramillo, Sam Moorin, Carson Verplank, Alex Fowler and Ali Michel performed.

has performed for IU Dance Marathon and at Kilroy’s Dunnkirk and Potbelly’s. A singer, songwriter and guitarist, Angermeier said she has been to the music series once or twice a month in the past. “I just came up with the songs I was going to play about five minutes before I went on stage and wrote them on a napkin,” Angermeier said, laughing. “I feel like in college it’s really fun to just play songs that other people know and can sing along with you.” Facebook invites to the event were sent to about 500 people, Foy said, and the artists then sent invitations to their friends and family. The majority of the audience was students working on homework who weren’t expecting the music. Angermeier said she didn’t mind. “It’s a really captive audience,” Angermeier said. “Every time I’ve ever played here I’ve had a really good response, and everybody’s just so nice. I love it. Everybody that runs it is so fun to work with.” Foy said Live from Bloomington is creating a CD with a compilation of all local artists’ music. The committee also wants to have a music festival next month in Dunn Meadow, he said. The music series is most importantly a way to showcase local talent, he said. “It’s just to showcase local musicians, whether it be people in bands or people just getting up there who want to sing and play guitar for other students,” Foy said. “It’s really just to facilitate a local music scene, show the students what a great opportunity it is to see all these artists around that are not only limited to Jacob’s or the house scene, but there are tons and tons of people in Bloomington that this showcases.”

Salvation Army store defaced BY DENNIS BARBOSA dbarbosa@indiana.edu @DennisBarbosa86
Jameson Farrell was driving to work Tuesday morning when he noticed provocative graffiti on the wall of the Salvation Army Bloomington. Salvation Army Operations Manager Scott Parnell called Bloomington police Tuesday night and reported that someone had spray painted “Salvo hates fags” on the east side of the store at 111 N. Rogers St. Salvation Army has received accusations of discriminating against the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community for several years through Facebook posts and emails, according to its website. “It’s completely untrue,” said Sharyn Tennyson, Salvation Army executive director for Monroe County. “We don’t discriminate against who we serve. We never have and never will.” Tennyson said she had never seen anything like this at any of the stores she’s worked at before. She has worked for Salvation Army in Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois and Indiana. “To me it’s just a very hateful slur that shouldn’t exist,” Tennyson said. “I just can’t believe someone would do this.” Salvation Army is a charitable church organization founded by William Booth in London in 1878 and has spread to more than 109 countries. Farrell was driving by the store when he noticed the graffiti Tuesday morning. He took pictures of the graffiti and posted them to his blog.
Local calls made with seven-digit numbers will work until September, but officials recommended switching this weekend to dialing 10-digit numbers to help with the transition.

The Salvation Army was graffitied, possibly in response to accusations of the organization’s discrimination against the LGBTQ community. Jameson Farrell noticed the graffiti on his way to work Tuesday morning and stopped to take photos of the speech, which was later attempted to be removed.
“Vandalizing a building with crudely written graffiti is not a way I would recommend sharing one’s political belief,” Farrell said in an email. Although Farrell said he thought the graffiti was
inappropriate, he said he does not support the Salvation Army’s policies. “Whenever a Salvation Army bell ringer asks for donations, I kindly state that unfortunately I do not
despise women and homosexuals enough to support their ‘cause,’” Farrell said in the email. “Rather than donate to the SA, I would highly recommend donating to secular charities.”
Three elementary schools in the Monroe County Community School Corporation are pursuing the idea of becoming International Baccalaureate schools. Childs, University and Templeton Elementary schools are gathering information about the IB program. A total of 3,720 IB schools are located in 147 countries across the world, with 33 IB schools currently in Indiana. “Our curriculum represents the best from many different countries rather than the exported national system of any one,” according to the IB website. “Our challenging Diploma Programme assessment is recognized by the world’s leading universities. We maintain our high standards by actively training and supporting teachers, and by authorizing and evaluating IB World Schools.” The IB program is divided into four smaller programs for students ages 3-19. Templeton Principal Donald Carver said the school is still in the investigative process right now, but he said becoming an IB school would be an honor. “It comes with great recognition,” he said. Carver said the IB process could take up to four
years to implement and for the school to become accredited. He said if the staff and parents of Templeton are invested in becoming an IB school, then they would apply for candidacy. To apply for candidacy, a school must complete an application and gather supporting documents. Through the application, the school must show they have taken measures and developed a plan for becoming an IB school. The school would also eventually undergo a Verification Visit to ensure it is meeting the requirements to become an IB school. School heads and coordinators reported about an eight out of ten for curriculum satisfaction 2009 through 2012, according to the IB website. Carver said there are a limited number of IB schools in the United States that are public. Carver said if Templeton became an IB school, the curriculum would incorporate a world language component. The curriculum would still follow Indiana Academic Standards and the students will still be tested. Carver said he likes that a new curriculum would add global and diversity aspects. “All schools are constantly looking for ways to grow and evolve,” Carver said. Sydney Murray

Go read a book EMMA WENNINGER is a sophomore majoring in English.
While browsing Pinterest, I came across a 2012 article entitled “10 Books You Must Read to Your Daughter (Or How To Keep Your Daughter from Ending Up Like that Horrid Girl from Twilight).” I was impressed with the list. If you’ll allow me to scoot my soapbox front and center, I think it’s high time we all read a book. I remember my aunt forcing me to read “Pride and Prejudice” one summer, declaring it was practically a rite of passage, and every girl needed to read it. My roommate placed “Anna Karenina” carefully outside my door, an invitation to engage with her in some of her favorite material. My mom, for her New Year’s Resolution, decided she would read a new book every month. Since I’m clearly a literary expert, she asked me to compile a list for her. For the people in my life, and for myself, it seems we can’t read unless told to. It also seems, unless assigned, most students won’t read for pleasure. And I understand why. Students barely have time to sleep for pleasure. Busy work schedules and homework overload aren’t exactly conducive to curling up with a good book. When I’m at the library dissecting an academic article, I would much rather spend an evening turning myself into a vegetable in front of the television than expanding my horizons by reading “War and Peace.” So, though I can’t judge, the point I’m making here is books are important. The books on the “10 Books You Must Read to Your Daughter” list were typical. They were what every little girl should have on her shelf — “Anne of Green Gables,” “Little Women” and “Harry Potter.” But there were also some interesting choices as well, like “Kristen Lavransdatter” and “Jane Eyre.” I wouldn’t exactly recommend those selections to a 10-year-old, but I think the point was girls should read them at least before they turn 18. It was a compilation of strong women with stronger moral compasses, all geared toward preventing another Twi-hard. It made me think about exactly what slippery slope we let ourselves slide down. We’ve become so busy and so in need of a fastpaced consumer market, we’ve created a 21st-century female icon that does more damage than good. This is not to say writers aren’t currently creating female characters that are brilliant and complex. One look at anything written by Alice Hoffman will tell you it is not true. But I think the fact such a list exists means we need to be taking a closer look at commercial literature. And probably find something better to read. ewenning@indiana.edu @EmmaWenninger

It’s not art, it’s sex
The art of losing your virginity Art and sex are at it again, stirring up controversy and getting people all riled up over someone’s personal choices. You know, the ones they’re allowed to make for themselves. In the latest art/sex team-up, a 19-year-old man studying at the Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London is set to lose his virginity with an unidentified male partner in front of an audience April 2. The performance piece, entitled “Art School Stole My Virginity,” is based on the student’s experiences and thoughts on the concept of virginity and how it’s been perpetuated and conceived in our modern society. So, yes, having sex in front of people isn’t something that will go over well with the traditional and conservative masses. It’s not something that I’d want to do, and I’m going to go out on a limb and assume a majority of other people wouldn’t want to do it either. Because, for starters, people are not good at sex their first time. And if you were great the first time, congratulations, the rest of us weren’t. But whether or not you think the idea of virginity is ridiculous in the first place, when people willingly elect to have sex, it’s their choice. So if this student in London is choosing to have sex for the first time in front of 150 audience members, and he has a space to do so, more power to him. If people want to show up to a performance piece where it’s clear that people will be having sex with each other, it’s their choice as well.
DANE MCDONALD is a senior majoring in journalism.
Everyone involved in this scenario is deciding to either participate or show up. No one’s being forced or coerced into doing something they don’t want to do. It’s no one else’s job to dictate what is good or bad sex, unless, of course, they’re talking about their partner’s performance in bed. This whole controversial episode also drums up the age-old debate of what art actually is. Conventionally, we think of art as paintings, plays, music or films, among a myriad of other artistic mediums. But to define art is to reduce it to a bare minimum, something art should never cop to do. The purpose of art is to convey a message, or a theme of the artist’s choice. It’s the way in which an artist chooses to express their world view the way they see it. If this student sees art as his way to communicate how he feels society has constructed the myth of virginity, and in doing so he chooses to lose his in the process, then let him do it in peace. If you’re horribly offended, here’s an idea — don’t acknowledge it, and certainly don’t fly to London to watch. Just as it’s free will to create and display art, it’s free will to not engage with it. wdmcdona@indiana.edu @thedevilwearsdm
Performance art is nothing new. Artists like Marina Abramovic have built their careers by performing in front of audiences and eliciting human reaction for decades. Nudity in art is nothing new, either. Just ask the ancient Greeks or even modern photographers like Spencer Tunick, who has photographed thousands of people at his mass nude installations around the world. So, it’s safe to say pushing the envelope in the art world isn’t new. What is new, however, seems to be the misuse of shock tactics in hopes of passing it off as art, especially by sexually fetishizing it. In what could also easily be labeled a brazen attempt at creepy self-promotion, a 19-year-old art student in London plans to lose his virginity to another man in front of a live audience. According to the student, his performance aims to challenge the notion of virginity in society. He has addressed his detractors by asserting his performance will be nothing like a live sex show. Except that’s exactly what it seems like. Though we can slap on meaning to just about anything — like say a flasher committing indecent exposure in the name of challenging authority and exploring human sexuality — that doesn’t actually change what it fundamentally is. Yes, art is subjective and beauty may be in eye of the beholder. But at some point, we have to draw a line in the sand on what can really be

called art. People have always and will always color outside those lines and challenge preconceived notions of art. That is, after all, how modern art and many other genres came to be. But the British student’s low-minded attempt at it shouldn’t be lauded. Because, if anything, it is likely cultural erosion spurred in part by the narcissism of the selfie generation and a primal — and somewhat lowbrow — fascination with public sex masquerading as performance art by a 19-year-old. Another major point to keep in mind is the context of it all. Because this performance is taking place across the pond, cultural attitudes might be a huge factor. Europe has historically been more liberal in its culture than our country. And even though our own culture is rapidly shifting to embrace ideas like sex positivity, many in the United States still believe in privacy and keeping intimacy, well, intimate. If the student wants to go ahead with his performance, it’s his prerogative.

A Bloomington story illustrating the bastion of home security that gun ownership provides managed to surface in the state and local media last week. Confronted by the front end of a shotgun barrel, a woman in the house ran back to her bedroom where she and fiance where held at gun point. The gunman’s tunnel vision centered on the male resident at the safe, causing him to lose sight of the woman. She then picked up a walking stick and swung it across his head. Fortunately, this was enough of a distraction to allow her fiancé to grab his handgun and open fire on the gunman who rushed from the scene and is believed to have suffered injuries. Thanks to the cunning bravery of the couple and the right to bear arms, they were capable of defending and possibly saving their own lives as well as their children’s. Before gun grabbers accuse me of exploiting this individual case to propel my pro-Second Amendment agenda, please consider the following. Similar defense cases statistically dominate the latter occurrences of violent unjustified firearm use which the media usually magnifies and salivates over. Guns are used about 1.5 million times annually for self-defense in the United States, according to Gun Owners of America, a Second Amendment lobbying group. This means that guns are used at least 48 times more often to protect peaceable citizens than to take lives every year. I am simply reporting on the generally positive picture of civilian gun ownership through the facts and of course my admitted pro-liberty bias. It’s disconcerting to think about what could become of the many disarmed citizens caught in one of these annual 1.5 million emergency situations if gun control laws are passed in more U.S. cities. American civilians stop about 83 percent of violent offenders in their tracks, according to a University of Arizona study. Police were able to shoot or drive off criminals only 68 percent of the time in comparison. Gun control advocates have it all backward. The “wild West” situation is more likely to erupt after disarming or restricting the gun rights of the law-abiding public who play an unheard but critical role in upholding the peace. The overall lesson to be learned from this local story is that even as the government becomes omnipresent, it isn’t and will never be capable of keeping us all safe. Time is often too short in such predicaments for police intervention, and legislation doesn’t hold up against determined criminals. When exercised responsibly, our right to selfdefense guaranteed by the Second Amendment is our best bet for individual and family security. edharo@indiana.edu @EdHarodude

Hoosiers travel to Minneapolis tonight BY SAM BEISHUIZEN sbeishui@indiana.edu @Sam_Beishuizen
IU Coach Curt Miller said he thinks his team has yet to play to its full potential, but time is working against his Hoosier team. The Big Ten Tournament is exactly one week away. The IU women’s basketball team has only two more games to reach the level of play Miller thinks his team is capable of before every game becomes a must-win. The Hoosiers (18-9, 5-9) have an opportunity to get closer to that level tonight on the road against Minnesota (17-11, 6-8) in Minneapolis. “I’d like this team to peak,” Miller said. “If we can finish strong, and I feel like we’re playing good basketball regardless of wins and losses. Peaking in March would be really important for us.” IU has a chance to complete a season sweep of the Gophers for the first time since 2000-01. Doing so would further solidify IU’s chances for a WNIT at-large bid. Minnesota is playing with its NCAA Tournament hopes hanging in the balance. The Gophers are 43rd in the RPI and are coming off back-toback double-digit losses to Purdue and Michigan State. “They know they probably got to get to .500 (in the Big Ten) to get an at-large bid for the NCAA Tournament,” Miller said. “Both teams are
playing for a lot, and we expect a very spirited Minnesota team.” The Golden Gophers rely on a ball-screen offense that runs primarily through junior guard Rachel Banham and freshman center Amanda Zahui B. The two combined to score 54 points against IU in the first meeting between the teams. Zahui B. shot 11-of-12 from the floor and hauled in seven rebounds in the losing effort. The Hoosier most likely to be charged with guarding the 6-foot-5 Zahui B. is senior center Simone Deloach. Miller called Deloach his most physical post player and said IU will need to limit Zahui B.’s touches if they want to contain her. Deloach said she is ready for the challenge of competing against the Big Ten’s leading rebounder. “It’s a defensive challenge for me, but I’m going in there with confidence and feel good about it,” Deloach said. “I’m just going to battle.” At the other end of the ball-screens is normally Banham. She’s the Big Ten’s leading scorer, averaging 22.3 points per game and registered 31 points during Minnesota’s loss against Michigan State on Monday. Banham took 47.6 percent of Minnesota’s shots in the loss to the Spartans, shooting 11-of-30 from the floor. Miller said IU can afford to let Banham score at
WOMEN’S BASKETBALL (18-9, 5-9) at Minnesota (17-11) 8 p.m. Thursday, Minneapolis a high clip as long as they force her to shoot a poor percentage like the Spartans did Monday. On the offensive end, IU will look to push the tempo of the game against a Minnesota team that ranks second in the Big Ten in scoring defense allowing 62.6 points per game. IU has struggled in recent games to make shots down the stretch. Freshman guard Alexis Gassion said she believes the IU offense is best when running the floor. “(Miller) thinks that we’re best when we push,” Gassion said. “We’re not really thinking about it so we just go. I think we all like that better than taking our time up the court.” The Hoosiers can finish as high as 7th in the Big Ten standings and as low as 10th in the conference depending on their games as well as other teams’ results. Deloach said adding more wins in the final regular season games would give IU much needed momentum before a tournament run. “It would definitely mean a lot,” Deloach said. “We’re excited about the Big Ten Tournament, but we’ve got two games left. I think it would just give us that much more confidence going into the tournament.”
Following IU’s 61-56 victory against Northwestern on Saturday in Evanston, Ill., Northwestern Coach Chris Collins brought up a topic that has been in the back of Hoosier fans’ minds all season — freshman forward Noah Vonleh’s stock for the 2014 NBA Draft. “I’m looking out on the floor and they got a guy who’s going to be a top 10 pick in this year’s draft,” Collins said of Vonleh, calling him a “monster.” Vonleh has been on the NBA’s radar ever since he started the season with four consecutive double-doubles. With a 6-foot-10, 240-pound frame and 7-foot-4 wingspan, Vonleh has been an elite rebounder since arriving on campus last summer. He grabs 27.5 percent of available defensive rebounds — the 10th-best mark in the country — when he is on the court, according to kenpom.com. The freshman leads the Big Ten in rebounds per game with 9.3, well ahead of Michigan State’s Adreian Payne, who sits in second place with 7.7 per game. Apart from his work on the glass, Vonleh has elevated his offensive game in Big Ten play. IU Coach Tom Crean said Vonleh showed outstanding aggression in IU’s 69-58 loss Tuesday at Wisconsin.
“He’s getting better constantly,” Crean said. The freshman’s most notable improvements are in his 3-point shot and driving ability. “He’s getting more comfortable away from the basket with the ball not just with shooting the ball,” Crean said. Vonleh merged his lowpost scoring with his jump shot by becoming better at dribbling. During Tuesday’s loss against Wisconsin, Vonleh orchestrated the Hoosiers’ offense on several possessions at the top of the key. In one offensive set, he was alone at the 3-point line. Senior forward Will Sheehey, junior forward Austin Etherington and graduate student guard Evan Gordon were on the left wing, drawing their defenders away from the lane. Sophomore point guard Kevin “Yogi” Ferrell was in the opposite corner. Wisconsin forward Frank Kaminsky was defending Vonleh and forced the freshman to dribble right by angling his body in that direction. Vonleh dribbled with his right hand, planted his right foot at the right elbow and utilized a spin move to get to the rim for an easy layup. “The game he had tonight was the driving game,” Crean said after the loss. “He’s getting better with not wasting dribbles. Cody (Zeller) went through the same thing.” IU’s sixth-year head coach said the Hoosiers emphasize constant improvement, even

HOOPS WITH HOOP
Column: IU will upset Iowa It’s no secret that if IU basketball had a mascot this year, they’d have two: Jekyll and Hyde. IU fans have seen both this year. Against then-No. 3 Wisconsin and then-No. 10 Michigan at home, it was Mr. Hyde making an appearance at Assembly Hall, and the fans demanded an encore. Against Penn State and Northwestern at home, Dr. Jekyll reared his ugly head, characterized by epic collapses and poor perimeter shooting that sent Hoosier fans cursing not-so-under their breath as they walked back to their cars. Bold prediction — Hyde has locked Jekyll in a closet somewhere in the Villas, and IU will come out and shock the conference tonight. No. 20 Iowa (19-8, 8-6) comes to Bloomington to face IU (15-12, 5-9) at 9 p.m. on ESPN. It’s a makeup game from last Tuesday after Assembly Hall broke. There’s no doubt Iowa is good. The Hawkeyes stand at 8-6 in arguably the nation’s best basketball conference. They have the fourth most efficient offense in the nation, according to kenpom.com. You might have thought IU dominated the glass, but you haven’t seen the Hawkeyes play. They lead the
conference in offensive rebounding percentage and free throw rate. Translation: Iowa draws a lot of fouls, and gets a lot of offensive rebounds. The Hawkeyes score 25.7 percent of their points from the charity stripe, once again best in the Big Fourteen — ugh, I mean Big Ten. So the case for Iowa coming in and steamrolling the Hoosiers can be made. But the opposite argument, I believe, is stronger. Iowa has been struggling lately. The Hawkeyes fell to Wisconsin on Saturday at home, and then lost in the Barn to Minnesota just two days ago when they allowed 95 Gopher points. It’s their first multi-game losing streak of the year, which is troublesome if you’re a Hawkeye fan. You need to be playing your best basketball as the calendar turns to March on Saturday. Iowa is the fastest team in the Big Ten. IU has seen mixed results playing at a fast clip this year. Sometimes they look like those Phoenix Suns teams with Steve Nash at the helm, and sometimes they turn it over more than 20 times in a game. But all these points are moot. Because there is only one question that really mat-
EVAN HOOPFER is a junior majoring in journalism.
ters: which IU team will show up tonight? IU is talented, no doubt. It lacks consistency, which makes it incapable of being a legitimate contender. But one thing inconsistent teams can do is become giant killers and spoilers. IU plays to the level of competition. The Hoosiers can duel with the Hawkeyes in the talent department. Can they play focused basketball for 40 minutes? Not every game, but today they will. The bright lights. Nine o’clock game. ESPN. These are reasons why Assembly Hall will be rocking just as long as IU makes this a game. Assembly Hall will be ready and the Hoosier nation will be there. But which IU team will show up?

in walkthroughs on gameday. “We’re working on our driving game, splitting traps, working on getting to the rim, all the different things that go into making you a better ballhandler,” Crean said. Vonleh said the team has been focusing on its ball handling every day in practice with various cone drills. “We’ve been working on ... keeping the dribble low, pushing it out, (and) just getting to the rim,” he said. Crean said the next step for Vonleh is to master driving in a straight line to the basket. The Haverhill, Mass., native is bigger than most college players, which makes him difficult to defend. “He just needs to push the ball out in front, drop his shoulder and go,” he said. “When you’re driving to the rim, it’s not about oneon-one play — there’s not enough time.” Vonleh’s improved dribbling and driving ability led to him taking double digit shot attempts in consecutive Big Ten games for the first time this season. His new opportunities on offense have led to greater production from the freshman forward. In the past two games, he scored 30 points on 13-for-26 shooting. Crean said once IU’s players are able to comfortably add dribbling moves to their repertoires, the Hoosiers try to implement them in games to use to their advantage. “And that’s exactly what’s happened with Noah,” he said.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 the Badgers 69-58 after leading by 10 at halftime. The Hawkeyes also played Tuesday, falling to the Minnesota Golden Gophers 95-89. Tuesday’s result was preluded by a loss at home to Wisconsin on Saturday, and it was the first time all season the Hawkeyes have lost consecutive games. Iowa leads the Big Ten in points per game this season with 83.5. For the most part, Iowa spreads its scoring around, as only two players average double-figures. Senior Roy Devyn Marble and junior Aaron White average 16.9 and 13.2 points per game, respectively. Marble is shooting 41.9 percent from the field and 38 percent from 3-point range. He leads the Hawkeyes in steals, averaging 1.8 per game. Iowa plays an up-tempo style, getting up and down the court while playing multiple players. Eleven Hawkeyes average 10 or more minutes per game, yet no player averages more than 30. IU Coach Tom Crean said
Iowa’s adaptability makes them difficult to challenge this season. The Hawkeyes rank first in the Big Ten in rebounding offense, averaging 42 rebounds per game. The Hawkeyes rank second in the Big Ten in rebounding margin, falling 0.4 behind the Hoosiers for first. Iowa averages 1.6 fewer turnovers per game this season than its opponents. Iowa forces its opponents into 13.2 turnovers per game, and the Hoosiers have averaged 15 turnovers per game on the season, last in the Big Ten. Crean said IU has to adjust and adapt to the pace of the game Iowa will undoubtedly bring. “We have to take the speed of the game and make it work for us,” Crean said. “They can do numerous things, whether it is pressure or man or zone or switching because of the versatility.” Crean mentioned Iowa’s ability to get out in transition and said IU needs to be aware of that, among other things. “They are as good as anyone in this league at getting out (on the fast break) after makes or misses,” Crean said.

He ran away after being released to his parents. Avon police arrested Jacob Feb. 20 for robbing a taxi driver at gun point. Police found Jacob had another BB gun similar to the one he had during his arrest on Feb.18, according to court documents. “Even though he is 17 years old he is being charged,” Jeff Kehr, first deputy prosecutor for Monroe County, said. “Robbery with a deadly weapon qualifies him as a direct file into adult court.” Indiana law defines a deadly weapon as a destructive device or weapon intended to be used to cause serious bodily injury.

A natural disaster ‘Pompeii”
Kit Harington, Emily Browning, Kiefer Sutherland C Vesuvius is no longer the only thing that destroyed Pompeii. Now there’s the equally destructive director Paul W. S. Anderson. After Anderson piled up too many superfluities in his film, the storyline of “Pompeii” collapsed just like the city. His effort to mix the elements of sword-and-sandal, cheesy romance and disaster flicks is no less lethal to “Pompeii” than the lava. The history of Pompeii might track back to ancient Rome, but the origin of “Pompeii” is rooted in Hollywood with no doubt. That’s why you can see the corny overhaul of “Titanic” romantics and knockoffs of “Gladiator” in this movie. Ironically, the molten lava was so furious that it could burn out the entire city, but it somehow failed to ignite even a little sparkle between our leading characters. The film is supposed to tell the epic story of Milo, played by Kit Harington, and Cassia, played by Emily Browning. Milo is a slave who later becomes an invincible gladiator, and Cassia is a rich and rebellious girl chased by an illustrious Roman senator named Corvus (Kiefer Sutherland). Yes, it sounds like a “Titanic”-style romance, except that the catastrophe that gilds their love is the volcano eruption instead of a shipwreck. Given such a classic — and stereotypical — background setting, at least you would expect loads of chemistry and electrifying
‘Camp Takota’ Grace Helbig, Chester See, Hannah Hart B+ The stars of YouTube are making a break for the big screen. Best known for their successful YouTube channels, Grace Helbig, Hannah Hart and Mamri Hart packed their awkward personalities with their arsenal of vagina jokes and boozed-up comedy, and traveled to a setting where they could be
both hilarious and endearing — summer camp. Helbig plays Elise, the stereotypical not-working-herdream-job-but-has-a-hot-fiancé modern woman in Chicago. But an accident at work causes Elise to lose her job. To top off the sundae that was her day, she finds her fiancé with another woman. Depressed and looking for an escape, a chance encounter leaves Elise with one option — return to her childhood summer camp, Camp Takota. Back in the mosquitoswarmed forest, Elise catches up with her two best friends from camp, Maxine (Mamrie) and
Allison (Hannah), who seem to have never left. As the mosquito bites and poison ivy rashes bring them together, the future of Camp Takota is threatened. An obnoxious Wi-Fi addict has plans to mow the camp over and transform it into a social media Mecca, every teenager’s dream. But the women refuse to let that happen. They band together to show the girls of Takota that their camp can offer more than any Wi-Fi zone. “Camp Takota” explored a very realistic representation of adulthood gone wrong. Though it was moved by dramatic situations, the responses were
comedic and relatable. One example would be the scene after Elise has discovered her cheating fiancé. We might expect to see our heroine whining to a friend or destroying her house or cuddling an empty wine glass in bed. Instead, Elise is on the living room floor drinking straight from a liquor bottle, Facebookstalking the woman who ruined her relationship. The close relationship between Helbig, Hannah and Mamrie translates flawlessly to film. Their obvious level of comfort with each other makes it easier to process some of the jokes, the vagina ones in
performances. But the tedious plot shades the romance with sallowness, and the overloaded storyline quenches any flair. “Pompeii” is sparing in its use of cohesion. Therefore, the subplots derived from the main storyline are irrevocably distracting. Milo’s miserable experience as he watched the Romans kill his parents and his entire clan should aggravate his hostility towards Corvus. However, Anderson abandoned this foreshadowing and distracts the audience with Milo’s metamorphosis into a formidable fighter. In “Gladiator,” Russell Crowe knew how to ooze the charm through every wink and movement in the arena. Harington just knows how to handle a broadsword. Recalling the experience of watching other romantic disaster films when you are so immersed into the characters’ story, you are likely to wait on the edge of your seat for the catastrophic moment. However, for “Pompeii,” you just can’t wait. After the long simmering dullness, something has to explode. Fortunately, when Vesuvius begins to erupt, Anderson serves a visual feast of impressive CGI. The melting scenery is kind of poetic as the volcano spews a shower of fiery bolides, just like a grand, apocalyptic firework that represents the pathos of Pompeii. For Milo and Cassia, the overturn of Pompeii is a prison of bliss. It’s biting satire that only with collapse of the walls and hierarchy can they stay together. Thousands of years ago, Vesuvius ruined the city of Pompeii with a fatal eruption. Thousands years later, Anderson ruined “Pompeii” with a choppy storyline and unnecessary plotting. BY WENWEN TANG
particular. Mamrie and Lydia Genner, who co-penned the script, wrote the perfect role for each woman, shadowing the character after each actor’s personality and level of acting ability. The screenplay itself was oozing with Mamrie’s sense of humor, incorporating cheesy puns, making fun of teenage trends and a lot of drinking. On the production side, the film is very simple, and it works. Some of the fades and transitions seem off, but the cinematography is sharp, and there are many artistic shots emphasizing the scenery of the camp.
“Camp Takota” was advertised purely through the Internet. The YouTube community came together in their videos and through social networking to promote it, which allowed the targeted audience to keep updated throughout the production process. “Camp Takota” is the perfect example to show it doesn’t take a bottomless budget to produce or promote a good film. It keeps you laughing the entire time, and you will find no guilt in watching it over and over again. BY LEXIA BANKS

EDITORS: RACHEL OSMAN & SARAH ZINN | ARTS@IDSNEWS.COM
CBS recently ordered a pilot for a remake of the Neil Simon play-turned-sitcom “The Odd Couple.” The new show will star former “Friends” actor Matthew Perry, who is also a co-writer
Swing band plays Players Pub
and executive producer. “To be given the opportunity to develop a modern version of it for CBS has put a permanent smile across my face,” Perry said after the pitch was sold to CBS in December.

Bloomington residents Dennis Organ and Lynn Svensson dance together while the band the Stardusters “little BIG” Band play the song “Let’s Stay Together” on Wednesday night at the Players Pub. BY CHRISTIAN KEMP cjkemp@indiana.edu
Dressed in black, Stardusters “little BIG” Band got the crowd at Players Pub ready to dance with the song “In The Mood” by Glenn Miller. Audience members were excited to swing dance, despite the cold weather restrictions on attire. Jerry Jerome, director and owner of Stardusters “little BIG” Band, said his band first played at the pub one month after it opened. “The Pub is a great venue,” Jerome said. “We love it there. It fits us perfectly, because it is our crowd.” Phyllis Schwitzer, one member of Stardusters’ “crowd” who showed up
for Wednesday’s show, said she has enjoyed Stardusters’ music for more than 10 years. “The music is calming, and you can dance to it,” Schwitzer said. She said that while all genres of music may have dancing qualities, swing is more danceable than some. The “little BIG” Band, as well as the full jazz orchestra Jerome also directs, recorded a live album in 2004 at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater. Jerome said that while recording is great, and that he plans for future recordings, making albums is not his objective. “It is not our thing,” Jerome said. “We are a performing band.”
Founded in 1993 and playing the Bloomington scene since 1996, Stardusters operates as a band for hire in many regions. Janiece Jaffe, the principle vocalist for Stardusters, received her degree in vocal jazz performance from IU in 1996. “It was part of my education,” Jaffe said, “And I have always been attracted to jazz and improvisational singing since I was a little kid.” Jaffe said everyone should treat themselves to the experience of live music. To her, swing music not only gives the audience a chance to let loose with dancing, but to appreciate the improvisational context of jazz that gives the
musicians themselves a chance to be creative. “I think it is very uplifting in a live situation,” Jaffe said. “It creates a lot of energy.” At a time when swing music no longer dominates the music scene, Jerome said Stardusters has adapted its music to fit needs of younger audiences as well. “We do a lot of wedding receptions where it is a younger crowd and they want younger music, and we can do it,” Jerome said. The focus of the band still caters to swing music aficionados. “There is a strong following of musicians that are dedicated to the style of music,” Jerome said. “It will never die, but it is not an easy sell all the time either.”
Thirty plays, 60 minutes. Thirty plays will be performed at Bloomington Playwrights Project at breakneck pace as six actors rush to finish before the timer hits zero. “The Blizzard: Game Show Edition” is a fast-paced comedic routine that is impossible to predict, BPP director Jessica Reed said. “It’s a different play every night — they will always be in a different order,” Reed said. Reed said the audience chooses the order the plays are performed in each night. She said the order is determined by whoever yells the loudest in the audience, and the unpredictable nature keeps the actors on their toes. Performances will take place at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 27 and 28 and March 1 at Bloomington Playwrights Project. Tickets are $15 each and all proceeds will support the BPP. “Blizzard” playwright Hank Greene said the show is designed for maximum audience participation. “‘The Blizzard’ is very much a living and breathing piece,” Greene said. “So much is visual and about the audience experiencing it.” The plays are all organized into different categories centering on the game theme, Greene said. Some of the categories are “Game of Thrones,” “The Hunger Games” and video games. Chad Rabinovitz, the producing artistic director, said the idea for “The Blizzard’ was originally adapted from a different theater in Chicago.
This year, the actors will not know what to expect on opening night because they will not complete a full runthrough. “They started rehearsal a little late because everyone has been sick,” Reed said. She said “Blizzard” seeks to interact with the audience by combining interactive games with the plays. “Out of 30 options on the board, nine are games that require audience participation,” she said. The games are mixed in with the plays to keep the audience invested, Reed said. The developed the ideas for the games, one of which involves an audience member shooting a Nerf gun. Audience members can also win prizes, including the nightly grand prize of $100. “The prizes are all from local businesses,” Reed said. “We have a lot of community investment.” Reed said the BPP is very connected to the community because they try to nurture new talent and help new play ideas at the local level. “We are the only theater in the state of Indiana dedicated to new plays,” she said. “We help people get new works out there so there is always something new.” With “the Blizzard,” they are trying to capture the interest of people who wouldn’t necessarily watch plays, Reed said. They want the show to be easy to digest and leave a lasting impression on the audience. “I want every play to be a new experience for the audience,” Greene said.

So she balances the bombast with beauty. “Prince Johnny” and a “I Prefer Your Love” feature th the same tender pop St. Vincent Vincen perfected on 2011’s “Strange M Mercy.” And closer “Severed Cross Crossed Fingers” is Clark’s 2014 update updat of classic rock power ballads, ccomplete with choir-like backu backup vocals, acoustic guitar strum strumming and keyboard arpeggios. It’s not as good as a “Strange
Mercy.” That album was a nearperfect collection of songs that caught Clark at a point where she was mastering her sound. But somehow “St. Vincent” seems more honest and right. It’s aptly titled. It’s a more accurate version of Annie Clark than anything she’s made before. Clark shows us that her chaos on this album is controlled. She hasn’t completely unraveled yet, and she probably won’t. Her statement on this album seems to be that it’s okay to come undone once in a while if you can savor the moments when you’re back down to earth. So when you’re making your coffee in the morning, take it in. Smell the aroma. Watch the milk dive to the bottom of the cup and blossom back up at the top. Take a look out your kitchen window at the crisp morning as the steam rises from your mug. But then go ahead and drink one cup too many and come undone.
This is brave, considering the movie and book delve into beautiful observations about depression, growing up and how family can support you in different way. Jamming all of this into 22 minutes leaves us with blanket statements about Marcus’s mother (Minnie Driver) being sad and near-comically crying
over dinner. Will is just painted as a general douchebag. Character development is out the window, and the show depends on stock sitcom devices to get through its pilot. Cramming the entire plot of the movie into the sitcom is a bold move. It could have been a sweep of bravado to acknowledge the source
material, get it out of the way and continue on with a new style. There might be time to save the show, but with their work on the pilot I say don’t waste your time when you could be watching basically any other show.

Up your Oscar party O game g
Seven things to look out for during the Oscars
1. If your Oscars party is even going to approach spectacular, you have to have your own red carpet. It’s festive, and your guests will feel like celebrities as they arrive. 2. Commercial breaks can be boring, so pass the time by awarding your own Oscars during the breaks. That friend who talks through every movie can take the award for “Best Commentary.” Bonus points if you actually print out fake statuettes to award everyone.
ELISA GROSS is a junior majoring in journalism.
The awards season is almost over, which means the Academy Awards are about to begin. In case you’ve been MIA on the pop culture and film scene during the past few months, don’t panic. Here are some things to watch for during this year’s Oscars ceremony. ELLEN
1 2
This will be Ellen DeGeneres’ second time hosting the Awards. Her first time hosting, in 2007, went so well that she received an Emmy nomination for “Outstanding Individual Performance in a Variety or Music Program.” SCIENCE FICTION
This year, two science fiction films are nominated for Best Picture, “Her” and “Gravity.” Science fiction hasn’t historically had a huge presence at the Oscars, but this year is different. Not only are these films nominated, but “Gravity” has been an awards frontrunner all season. It’s nominated for 10 awards including Best Actress in a Leading Role, Best Director and Best Picture.
3 4
JUNE SQUIBB
Oscar history could be made this year if Squibb wins for her role in “Nebraska.” The 84-yearold actress will be the oldest Academy Award winner if she takes the prize for Best Actress in a Supporting Role. ROBERT LOPEZ
If Lopez wins Best Original Song for “Let It Go” from “Frozen,” he will be only the 12th person to have an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony, commonly referred to as EGOT. The last person to do so was producer Scott Rudin in 2012.
3. If you’re opinionated, and you watch the ccelebrities walking the red carpet, then you earned the ca right to pass judgment on ri everyone’s fashion choices e at the awards. Become your own Fashion Police and vote on the best and worst outfit of the night. You don’t need Joan Rivers.
“AMERICAN HUSTLE” NOMINATIONS
5
For the second year in a row, a David O. Russell film has been nominated in every acting category. Last year’s “Silver Linings Playbook” and this year’s “American Hustle” both received nominations in all four acting categories. Before Russell, the last time this happened was in 1981 when Warren Beatty, Diane Keaton, Jack Nicholson and Maureen Stapleton were all nominated for “Reds.” Even crazier, all four of the actors nominated this year have been nominated before for a Russell film.
6
4. Though the Academy doesn’t provide its guests with food and drinks, that doesn’t mean you can’t. Have big tubs of buttery popcorn and boxes of candy for the perfect movie-themed snacks.
LUPITA NYONG’O (LEW-PEETTUH EN-YON-GO)
If you’re feeling really ambitious, create some signature drinks and give them names like “Gravity’s” Out of This World, COSMOpolitan, Gravi-tinis or The Ameri-gin Hustle. The crappier the pun, the better the drink.
This Yale School of Drama graduate is nominated in Best Actress in a Supporting Role for “12 Years a Slave.” If her Yale degree isn’t impressive enough, thiss movie was her first feature film. She also acted in the short film “East River” in 2008. And, to top itt off, she has been nailing red carpet fashion again ain and again. She is definitely a new actor to keep ep an eye on.
7
5. Have each of your guests fill out an Oscar prediction ballot and contribute $5 (or whatever amount you wish) to the pot. Whoever predicts the most winners gets to keep bragging rights and all of the money.
DESPICABLE ME 2
This sequel has been nominated for Best Animated Feature, though it’s predecessor wasn’t. This is probably not because the sequel was better than the original, though, just that there weren’t as many good contenders for the category this year. “Frozen” is definitely the favorite to win the award.
