Michelle speaks in Indianapolis Former first lady discusses representation, speaking up on Tuesday By Sarah Verschoor sverscho@iu.edu | @SarahVerschoor
INDIANAPOLIS — The start is being at the table, the place where the decisions are made. Then, you have to learn to disagree and to insert your opinion. Speak up, former first lady Michelle Obama cautioned, or eventually you will be overlooked. “Have the courage of your convictions and have the confidence in your experience, the confidence that the life you’ve lived, and what you’ve seen has value at the table,” Obama said. Obama spoke Tuesday evening at Bankers Life Fieldhouse to a crowd of more than 12,000. The thousands of people included nearly 300 girls and chaperones from Indianapolis Public Schools who received free tickets from the event’s organizer, the Women’s Fund of Central Indiana. “Hey y’all,” Obama greeted a section of young girls to the side of the stage. “I’m so glad they’re here. Love you guys.” “I was never trying to They responded with be a first lady that I shrieks.

She appeared in an interview earlier this month Michelle Obama, former first lady with Ellen DeGeneres on her afternoon talk show. She also presented the 2018 School Counselor of the Year Award at the John F. Kennedy Center for Performing Arts the week before her Indianapolis talk. On Monday, her and former President Barack Obama’s portraits were unveiled at the National Por-
trait Gallery. The former first lady, an advocate for women and families, is known for initiating policies to help children while in office. Her Let's Move! campaign aimed to reduce childhood obesity. The Reach Higher and Let Girls Learn movements championed greater access to education, both for U.S. students and young girls globally. Obama said she is working on a memoir. Part of her writing process she said includes her reflecting on how her upbringing influences the way she acts today. She grew up on the south side of Chicago in a working class family. While her parents couldn’t give her many material things, they were present in her life. “There was so much support just in the small things, listening, valuing our voices, letting us talk and complain and argue and ask questions and push,” Obama said. She said she shared stories from her childhood because she wants young people to know that anyone who’s been successful, especially women of color, grow up with doubts. Sometimes those are other's perceptions or subconscious messages woven into society. It’s really a drumbeat of doubt, she said. “You grow up knowing that there are people that just decide not to like you because you’re brown,” Obama said. “So you always wonder, what are they thinking about me? I’m just a kid walking around, but that person is afraid of me, and they don’t even know me.” You have to practice ignoring it, Obama said. You have to practice pushing through it and achieving be-

yond people’s expectations. She entered her adulthood with a sense of self, she said. Obama advised young people to pick a career where they can be themselves. “I was never trying to be a first lady that I read about somewhere,” she said. “When you know who you are, nobody can take that from you.” Junior Naomi Byrdo came from IU to hear Obama’s speech. Byrdo said she liked Obama’s emphasis on being yourself and being comfortable with yourself. “It was absolutely inspirational,” she said. In college, Byrdo has taken time to find herself by studying abroad in places like London and France. Her admiration for Obama also includes the initiatives she started in office. Brydo is a human development major with a minor in education policy, so Obama’s Let’s Move! campaign and her push for healthier eating in schools are things Brydo is also passionate about. “I’m really interested in starting from the beginning,” she said. Byrdo was also at the talk with two other friends from IU, including senior Maya Caine. She said before Obama, there were no role models like her. Michelle Obama was in office while Caine was in high school and for part of college. “If she can do it, I can, too,” she said.

Collin Thomas and Brian Berger's first step toward becoming music producers was turning their small college home, 1212 East Atwater Avenue, into a music venue called Doce Doce. That very address is now the name of their new record label — 1212 Records. Run by three recent IU graduates, 1212 Records is dedicated to exposing listeners to underrepresented music. Berger and Thomas met as audio engineering students at the Jacobs School of Music, and their partner Annie Skertic was an arts management major. When Berger began performing in Bloomington, he asked Thomas to be a drummer. They connected with numerous local bands and were highly involved with WIUX, IU’s student-run radio station. Thomas served as an on-air host, chief engineer, programming director, production direc-
tor and as a member of the station's board of directors, according to his website. Thomas said they began to fall in love with the music in Bloomington, and Berger said they were inspired to expose more people to what local music groups had to offer. When Thomas, Berger and Skertic graduated from IU in spring 2017, their careers took them on different tracks. Berger moved to California where he took a job in a post-production film facility in Beverly Hills, Thomas as for a broadcast consultation firm in Chicago, and Skertic works at a public relations firm in New York. In September, Skertic suggested she and Berger start their own label. Soon, Thomas was aboard. Berger said he and Thomas run the music side while Annie manages the press relations side of the business. SEE 1212, PAGE 6
The City of Bloomington has signed the contracts for a controversial purchase: a new $225,000 armored vehicle for the Bloomington Police Department. The announcement came from BPD Police Chief Mike Diekhoff last week during a news conference and has raised concerns of police militarization from some members of the community. BPD sent out a press release Monday and organized a public discussion of the Critical Incident Response Team, or CIRT, vehicle Tuesday trying to address some of these worries. Every chair in the BPD Headquarters training room was full Tuesday, and many more people stood in its entrance. The crowd was a mix of media, government representatives and community members. As the cameras focused on Diekhoff, the first question came: has this vehicle already been purchased? The answer: yes. It will be delivered in 2018. The deal will not be renegotiated. “I’m just really disappointed that this wasn’t more of a community process,” Bloomington resident Vauhxx Booker, 34, said. The primary focus of the questions were concerns about what many called the militarization of police. One woman suggested the vehicle be painted pink to be less intimidating. Monroe County Commissioner Amanda Barge agreed. “It’s Bloomington,” she said. “Let’s make it weird. Let’s make it funky.” Diekhoff said the department is aware of the perception that it is militarizing, and told the gathered crowd that isn’t what the vehicle is for. “This is a piece of equipment,” he said. “It’s not our mentality.” He said BPD could have bought a retired military vehicle for much less, but chose to buy this model because it is less militaristic. The vehicle will not be used in standard protest situations. It will only be used in critical situations, he said. There were 17 incidents CIRT responded to in 2017, Diekhoff said. There were 15 in 2016. BPD had an armored car for over ten years until it was retired in 2012, and has since relied on those of other police departments. The previous vehicle, a retired bank truck, responded to situations outside of Bloomington in Greene and Owen County, and according to the press release the new one would be an asset to the region. Diekhoff said the old vehicle hasn’t been replaced until now because the city couldn’t afford it. The city’s public safety local income tax will pay for the new vehicle. The vehicle is an armored Lenco BearCat which is based on a Ford F-550 truck and will be used for highrisk crises, such as armed suspects, and should last about 20 years. It will be custom-made and designed to stop high-powered rifle rounds. Diekhoff said the department does not currently own any vehicles which can do that. This kind of vehicle can make situations like these less dangerous, according to the press release, which cited six specific crimes in Bloomington where the lack of a CIRT vehicle reportedly added to the “danger level.” These include a standoff with an armed, suicidal man, a confrontation with an armed suspect, a group of home-invasion robbery suspects who barricaded themselves in an attic and a hostage situation ending with police using lethal force. In a 2000 shooting, it took an armored vehicle from Indianapolis 90 minutes to arrive. “It was clear that BPD had no effective way to deal with the situation or provide immediate aid to the victim who ultimately died,” the release said. Capt. Steve Kellams said it is unclear whether they could have saved the woman who died if they could have entered the home immediately with the help of an armored vehicle.

Bloomington businesses make Valentine’s Day treats By Emily Isaacman eisaacma@iu.edu | @emilyisaacman
Whether it’s vintage greeting cards or heart-shaped pizzas, Bloomington businesses are gearing up for Valentine’s Day. Baked! Of Bloomington The popular cookie store triples its sales on Valentine’s Day, employee Daniel Davila said. They will have in-shop workers and drivers come in every hour, Davila said, in order to handle the rush of orders from students’ parents and loved ones. “We will probably have people in here at six or seven in the morning,” Davila said. The store will sell heartshaped cakes for $32.39 and will fill its display with cookies replicating sweetheart candies. Davila said the shop's owner and some employees began making an abundance of red frosting and pastel icing on Monday to prepare for the cookies and cakes. Davila said he expected phones to start ringing Monday morning with shipping requests from across the country. The store even received an order from Ireland last week, though they haven’t previously shipped internationally, Davila said.
Because Valentine’s Day is so busy, Davila said management splits all tips received throughout the day equally among the workers. They also expect Valentine's orders to keep coming in past the 14th. Mother Bear’s Pizza Store manager Travis Terrell said Mother Bear’s Pizza has been selling heartshaped pizzas for at least six years. The 14-inch pizza is only sold on Valentine’s Day and costs $14. Terrell said Valentine’s Day wait times are normally around an hour, but he expects it to be longer because of the IU men's basketball game Wednesday. Bloomington Bagel Company Bloomington Bagel Company will sell a limited number of red, heart-shaped bagels and cookies, called sugar bombs, in stores Tuesday and Wednesday. They expect to sell out of these fan favorites, employee Shayna Goodman said, so order online by the dozen to beat the rush. The Book Corner With over 25,000 books, owner Margaret Taylor said, this store has something for

everyone, owner Margaret Taylor said. Children’s Valentine’s books including “Happy Valentine’s Day, Mouse!” and “Click, Clack, Moo, I Love You!” sit next to stacks of poetry books on the store’s front desk. Vintage Valentine’s cutouts and pop-up greeting cards, a yearly staple, are showcased in stands near the front of the store. Taylor said poems, cookbooks, travel books, journals
and plush animals are always popular on Valentine’s Day. In the 1960s, Taylor said, they would sell 100 copies of the book “Love is a Special Way of Feeling”. Taylor said students purchased origami kits one year to save money on expensive flower arrangements. Blu Boy Chocolate The cafe and cakery is expecting a busy week of chocolate box orders, em-
ployee Nicole Mcpheet said. The store offers several Valentine’s chocolates including strawberries and champagne, white chocolate cognac, crème de cassis, raspberry rose and Love’s True Kiss, which is a cayenne and aleppo pepper blend. The shop also sells large chocolate hearts. The chocolates are either hand-painted or handstamped with colored cocoa powder in Valentine’s Day
colors, Mcpheet said. Cup and Kettle The tea shop had a Valentine’s Day afternoon tea on Sunday, but they are selling themed truffles, scones and teas throughout the week. The specials are raspberry green tea truffles, chocolate cherry scones, and white rose and strawberry champagne teas. The shop is also promoting gift cards for date nights.
IU picks new assistant vice Trial underway for man president for administration accused of assaulting IU students, shooting at police
By Peter Talbot pjtalbot@iu.edu @petejtalbot
IU appointed Philemon Yebei as the new assistant vice president for administration beginning March 1. Yebei will succeed Steve Keucher, who retired at the end of last year after working at IU for 30 years, according to a press release from the University. "I'm super excited,” Yebei said. “I was a student on the Bloomington campus a few years back, because I did my masters and my doctorate on the Bloomington campus so I'm pretty happy to be getting back to Bloomington." Yebei worked in budget administration and finance for the last seven years at IU Kokomo. March 1 he will be managing the University Academic Affairs budget and administration and acting as a liaison for IU’s regional campuses. As a liaison, Yebei said his initial plans are to familiarize himself with the pulse of the regional campuses by visiting them regularly. "I'm really excited about what's happening on the regional campuses and the different initiatives that we have going that are directly tied to student success and student engagement," Yebei said. He said he’s excited to tackle low enrollment on a larger scale, due in part to the high school graduation rate, but said it’s too early to know what his specific plans may be. Yebei said he would miss the people he worked with in Kokomo. He said he was privileged to work with a great team of people there. Todd Gambill, vice chancellor for student affairs and enrollment management at IU Kokomo, is a friend of Yebei’s. They’ve known each other for five years, having

both started at IU Kokomo around the same time. “They don’t hire clowns down in Bloomington for roles like this,” Gambill said. “He knows what he’s doing.” Yebei doesn’t start with "no," Gambill said. Yebei tries to get done whatever it is that you’re trying to do for students or for the University. Gambill recalled times when he was making a pitch to Yebei to waive late fees for a student who had extenuating circumstances. He said Yebei was always willing to help. “I think he errs on the side of students,” Gambill said. Yebei has charisma and a good sense of humor, Gambill said. At IU-Kokomo, Gambill said Yebei’s nickname is P$, pronounced “P money.” One year, Yebei was the coach of the intramural staff basketball team. “He's a welcome addition at the board table and
at the dinner table,” Gambill said. Yabei received both his masters in applied health and his doctorate in higher education administration while studying at IU Bloomington. He said he's looking forward to being back on campus. "You know how beautiful the Bloomington campus is, whether it's in the spring or in the fall,” Yebei said. “I love to walk along Jordan river, I love to just pretty much spend time at the Arboretum over by the library.” Yebei is also looking forward to the international restaurants on Fourth Street, Uptown Cafe on Kirkwood Avenue and the Crazy Horse. Gambill said he’s sad IU-Kokomo is losing Yebei, but he’s happy for him to be making this step. “He certainly has been an integral part of helping us be successful,” Gambill said.
The initial video interrogation and physical evidence were presented Wednesday in the second day of trial for Vaylan Glazebrook, who faces charges of attempted murder, rape, armed robbery and criminal confinement stemming from his 2014 arrest in Bloomington. Glazebrook, an Indianapolis native who was 19 at the time of his arrest, is accused of breaking into an apartment on the 500 block of East 12th Street, sexually assaulting two of IU students who lived there, stealing electronics and then shooting at a responding officer. Both the officer and Glazebrook were shot. In the video of the interrogation shown to the court, Bloomington Police Department Detective Scott Reynolds questioned Glazebrook about his reasons for being in Bloomington in the early morning of Nov. 9, 2014. He responded Vaylan by saying he and his Glazebrook friends came down from Indianapolis looking for a party and that he did not remember anything because he had been drinking. Reynolds asked why, if he had gotten to the point of blacking out the night before, he seemed sober almost eight hours later. Glazebrook also told the detective the only thing he remembered clearly was being shot. “Shit, I’ll tell you this though,” Glazebrook says to Reynolds in the video. “I shot, but I didn’t know it was the police.” Two victims of the brutal sexual assaults on Nov. 9, 2014 testified Tuesday. The first recounted waking up to a noise and seeing a dark-skinned man standing over her, pointing a black handgun. According to her testimony, he
rummaged through her bedroom and grabbed her phone and charger. Unbeknownst to the first victim, her roommate, the second witness to testify, was across the hall face-to-face with another armed man, this one lighterskinned. The men stopped when Bloomington Police Department officer William Abram entered the apartment. The men fired a gun at least once in the apartment before scrambling out the bedroom window.
“Shit, I'll tell you this though. I shot, but I didn't know it was the police.” Vaylan Glazevrook, defendant
Abram was answering a 911 call from the two victims’ third roommate. She hid in her bedroom and whispered to emergency dispatchers. “I think there’s a guy in here trying to rape my roommates,” she said in a 911 call played during the trial. “I hear screaming.” Abram testified Tuesday that when he arrived, he found the apartment door ajar and entered. He spotted the lighter-skinned man in the hallway, pulling up his jeans. The man ran back into the same bedroom he was in before and Abram went outside. He saw the men come out the window and chased them across a parking lot. Abram saw the muzzle of a gun flash as the darker-skinned man fired at him. Abram returned fire, hitting both men. Still running, the darker-skinned suspect dropped something that hit the ground with a metallic clang. Police found the second man, Michael Deweese, in a car driven by a third man named Jesse Benti-Torres. Deweese received a 109-year prison sentence in 2016. Benti-Torres is charged with burglary and two counts of assisting a criminal. His case is pending.

White House releases budget proposal
Matt Rasnic Creative Director Andrew Hussey and Katelyn Haas Managing Editors
From IDS reports
The White House released an outline for national infrastructure funding Monday morning. The proposal commits $200 billion in federal funding for infrastructure over 10 years, but expects state, local and tribal governments and private entities to account for the other part of the $1.5 trillion President Trump promised.
Half of the $200 billion will go toward stimulating the $1.3 trillion portion the White House said would be created. $20 billion from the other half will go toward funding infrastructure projects, another $20 billion will go toward infrastructural financing and $10 billion would go toward reducing "inefficient leasing of Federal real property which would be more cost-effective to purchase," according to the White House.
The leftover $50 billion will go toward improving rural infrastructure. The plan expects approximately 87 percent of funding to be produced by non-federal entities, but the White House is unclear on how this funding will be generated. Sen. Todd Young, R-Indiana praised the plan. “The administration’s proposal strives to reward states that secure new non-federal infrastructure revenue, as In-
diana did in 2017, placing the Hoosier-state in the driver’s seat within the confines of this infrastructure proposal,” Young said in a statement. Sen. Joe Donnelly, D-Indiana, released a statement urging bipartisanship on infrastructural planning. “Investing in infrastructure is critical to our communities and Indiana’s economy,” he said in the statement.

Noblesville, Indiana resident Connie Blanford said, "Part of the issue with racism in Noblesville is that nobody thinks it exists." A video of a Noblesville High School student wrapped in a Nazi flag and shouting racial slurs sparked attention all around the country.
'That wouldn't happen here' In Noblesville, a hate-filled video creates an opportunity for conversation
In mid-January, a Snapchat video leaked onto social media showing a Noblesville teenager shouting slurs into a megaphone and wearing a Nazi flag as a cape. The video went viral, making news well beyond this city of 60,000. Overtly racist incidents had come and gone here before. Maybe people considered them non-issues, or talking about race made them uncomfortable, or they feared shining a bad light on their town. Whatever the reason, to some residents, it seemed that most people wanted to forget. This time, people couldn’t ignore the hate in their midst. Could a viral video and a Nazi flag force a conversation about race in Noblesville?

Local lawmakers disappointed in first half of IGA session By Laurel Demkovich lfdemkov@iu.edu | @LaurelDemkovich
As they head into the second half of the Indiana legislative session, lawmakers reflect on what they’ve done, what they haven’t done and what they still hope to accomplish. In the coming weeks, bills that originated in the state House or Senate will now make their way through the opposite chamber. Bloomington’s elected officials, Democrats Rep. Matt Pierce and Sen. Mark Stoops, said they are disappointed with the outcome of the first half of this year’s legislative session. Pierce said lawmakers are not dealing with the important issues. “It’s been a very sleepy session,” Pierce said. “The general assembly doesn’t seem to be tackling the big issues.” Pierce said he was disappointed legislators had done nothing to address funding issues and income inequality. He said he would have liked to see a bill that would have increased the minimum wage. He also would have liked to see legislation to fix the gender pay gap in Indiana and to establish an independent redistricting commission. Pierce, like many other Democrats, criticized law-
makers for not doing more to fix issues in the Department of Child Services. He said legislators seem to be content with waiting for an independent assessment into DCS to finish before enacting any legislation. Pierce said something needs to be done sooner rather than later to ensure children are protected. Stoops said the session has had a lot of what he calls “statement bills,” bills that are authored by legislators up for re-election this year. Many of these bills are also backed heavily by special interest groups. He added it is often difficult in a short session to get legislation passed because of pressure from special interest groups. Stoops criticized lawmakers for not doing enough during the first half of the session. “I would not call it a success in any means,” Stoops said. Stoops said he wished he had seen more focus on improving education opportunities both in pre-K and K-12 schools. He said he wished the legislature would have focused more on increasing the ability for people to actually go to college. “That’s what our stated goal in Indiana is, but we’re not really good at following through on that pri-
ority with actual statutes and programs and funding them,” Stoops said. Stoops and Pierce specifically criticized bills concerning workforce development. Stoops said rather than focusing on properly funding education and teachers’ salaries, legislation has focused on implementing programs and language surrounding workforce development into the school curriculum.

State Rep. Matt Pierce, D-Bloomington, speaks at the Hoosiers for a Commonsense Health Plan at the Monroe County Public Library.
He said legislators should have been working to increase teaching salaries to make it more competitive or expanding pre-K programs, which have a direct influence on children finishing high school and going to college. Pierce called the current workforce development bills “hodge-podge bills,” which put off any real changes in policy until next year. Both Pierce and Stoops said they were disappointed in the failed passage of a hate crime bill.
I see many customers in your future...
Stoops said one of the main reasons why the bill did not get a hearing was because the language included sexual orientation and gender identity. He said it was another example of special interest groups controlling legislation. “The religious right refused to let legislators vote for that language,” Stoops said. Despite disappointment in the first half of the session, Pierce said he’s going to continue working on some of the same things in
the second half of the session that he did in the first half, such as advocating for legalization of CBD oil and working to improve addiction treatment options. “I’m going to keep working on the same things and follow them all the way through to the end,” Pierce said. Stoops said the biggest takeaway for people, especially students, to recognize is problems with campaign finance or special interest groups are not only happening at the federal level. He said the state legisla-
ture is the most important level of government. He encouraged people to vote, even during midterm elections and even for local or state offices. He said it’s easy for people to get discouraged thinking their vote doesn't count. Citizens should not only vote for local or state offices, he said, but they should also continue to follow what’s happening in those offices. “They can be discouraged but what they need to do is wake up and vote,” Stoops said.

CROSS-COUNTRY
BOBBY GODDIN | IDS
The runners line up for the start of the Big Ten Cross-Country Championships at the IU Cross-Country course. This course might no longer be here next year due in part to the construction of the new IU hospital.
Local residents attempt to save cross-country course From IDS reports
It was only a few months ago when the IU trustees approved the plan of IU Health to build a brand new, $340 million hospital and academic center by the IU golf course. In the light of building this 620,000 square-foot complex, including an additional 115,000 square-feet for classrooms and other instructional settings, some local residents
are unhappy with the plans for the locations of the new parking lots. Not only is the hospital being built by the IU golf course, but it is also right by the home turf of the IU cross country team. For the hospital’s parking lot, IU Health plans to pave the southern portion of the cross country course for additional surface parking. Then, since one half of the course
would be taken out, IU plans to turn the northern portion into more holes for the golf course. In hopes of saving the cross country course that has been the home for Hoosier runners for decades, residents have started a petition asking both Indiana University and IU Health to consider other options for the lots. The petition has received over 500 signatures in just
24 hours. With that, there is also a Facebook page titled “Friends of the IU Cross Country Course” that has over 1,100 members on it so far. IU graduate student Matt Flaherty was the creator of the Facebook page. “IU Health has the opportunity here to save the course and be a leader in preventive health,” Flaherty said in a press release from Friends of the IU Cross Country Course.
“In fact, this is part of its stated mission—to make Indiana one of the healthiest states in the country. To destroy a premier preventive health resource is beyond tone deaf, it is directly counter to IU Health’s cause. We would like to work with IU and IU Health to remedy this for the good of the community.” Flaherty and the members of the group have clearly stated they support the new

location for the hospital, but prefer that IU Health build a parking garage rather than the additional parking lots.

Hoosiers set for first pitch of season By Stefan Krajisnik stefkraj@umail.iu.edu | @skrajisnik3
After being ranked No. 17, IU baseball’s preseason expectations will be tested immediately as the Hoosiers season begins on Friday. First pitch for the Hoosiers will come against the No. 18 Oklahoma Sooners at Brittain Resorts Baseball at the Beach in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina Feb. 16. IU is aware of the importance of high RPI games at the end of the season to better its chances to get into the NCAA Tournament. “These games are really important to us,” IU Coach Chris Lemonis said. “These are RPI games. We schedule this way because we feel like we have to play the best in the country.” Following the match-up with the Sooners, IU will play on Saturday against Kansas State. Then the Hoosiers will head to Conway, South Carolina, to play against South Alabama and Coastal Carolina Feb. 18-19. There has been uncertainty to which pitchers will get the nod in the starting rotation. Lemonis has decided junior Jonathan Stiever will start against Oklahoma, while junior Pauly Milto will start against Kansas State. The starters for the other two games are undecided. “It’s a good problem to

have, there’s just a lot of competition for those guys,” Lemonis said. “We’re TBA right now just because we’re trying to figure out the match-up with our last two opponents.” IU has 91 percent of the innings pitched from 2017 returning this season. The Hoosiers hope the extra experience can lead to improvement. “We’re pretty confident going into the season that we have that experience,” Milto
said. “There should be great upside to the upcoming season.” With numerous players leaving after the 2017 season, IU will have many opportunities to change their line-up around throughout the season. “Our right side will interchange, our DH will interchange and some of those areas that we have out there will bounce around,” Lemonis said. “I do have some
good players that aren’t playing every day and they could play every day at another program right now.” The Brittain Resorts Baseball at the Beach is part of the 11 neutral field and road games that the Hoosiers will play before their homeopener on March 7 versus Cincinnati. “We’re ready,” junior utility player Matt Lloyd said. “Everyone’s just excited to go there and play.”
IU women’s basketball senior guard Tyra Buss is not only being productive on the court this season, but off the court as well. On Jan. 4, Buss and senior forward Amanda Cahill were recognized as two of 30 candidates for the Senior CLASS Award. Now, a month and a half later, Buss has been named as one of the ten finalists. This award is given based on an athlete’s excellence in four categories— community, classroom, character and competition. It’s no secret Buss excels at competition as she is currently averaging 20.4 points per game and 4.7 assists per game. Also this season, she has become the all-
time leader in IU history for points scored and steals. Off the court, however, Buss holds a 3.3 GPA with a physical education major. She also volunteers for many organizations around the community. These include Hoosier HEROES, Hoosier Readers, IU Best Buddies, Camp Riley, Hoosier Outrun Cancer, Candy Stripe Crew event for disabled and handicapped adult and children, Slam Dunk for Literacy, Habitat for Humanity and the Salvation Army. Buss is the only representative from the Big Ten out of the ten finalists. Winners will be announced during the Women’s Final Four on April 1.

IU women primed for Big Ten finals Hoosiers aim for three in a row versus TexasTech By TC Malik
tcmalik@umail.iu.edu @TCMalik96
Championship season is beginning for the IU women’s swimming and diving squad as they travel to Columbus, Ohio for Big Ten Championships Feb. 14-17. For the No. 8 ranked IU women, this is the part of the season the Hoosiers been looking forward to all season long. While their record (5-4), doesn’t impress many, their dual meet schedule was brutal as seven of their nine matchups came against teams ranked inside the top-20. The Big Ten Swimming and Diving Championships will commence Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. and conclude Saturday night. The entirety of the Big Ten Championships can be streamed live on the BTN2Go app on. The Hoosiers come into the Championships on a twomeet win streak, after beating rival Purdue on Senior Day and taking down No. 10 Louisville on the road Jan. 26. The rest of the Big Ten is also well represented in the newest top-25 rankings. The highest ranked school is Michigan (No. 3) — the team that IU coach Looze said was the favorite to win the conference on the women’s side. IU will have to overcome

their hurdles against the Wolverines as they handily dismantled the Hoosiers just a month ago in Ann Arbor (180120). The Big Ten has six teams ranked inside the top-25; Michigan (No. 4), IU (No. 8), Ohio State (No. 13), Minnesota (No. 16), Wisconsin (No. 18) and Purdue (No. 23). The only other conference to have more teams ranked in the top-25 is the SEC (7), furthering the argument that the Big Ten is the best conference in
swimming and diving. The Big Ten Championships have been kind to the Hoosiers in recent memory as they have placed first or second in the past nine years. But at the same time, IU is hungry for that first place finish because they have came up short the past six seasons, finishing in second place. The Big Ten Championship drought has been dreadfully long for IU and Looze as their last win came back in 2011 on the back end of their
three-peat (2009-11). Last season, 2017, provided another second place finish for the Hoosiers with a slim margin of defeat. Michigan squeaked out a close victory with 1,187 points, just ahead of IU’s 1,125 points. The two schools have been at the top of the Big Ten standings and the top-25 rankings all year long and its finally time to settle it in the pool for a Big Ten championship once and for all.
SOFTBALL
Softball looks to improve in week two By Phillip Steinmetz psteinme@umail.iu.edu @PhillipHoosier
IU softball coach Shonda Stanton made the message clear for her team. If the Hoosiers want to pick up their first win of the season this weekend, they have to be able to get timely hits and improve on the defensive side of the ball. Last weekend in the Kajikawa Classic, the Hoosiers couldn’t string together hits after giving up multiple runs in late innings due to defensive play. Luckily for IU, the Big Ten/ ACC Challenge in Atlanta, Georgia, will provide them the best opportunity to pick up their first win. They’ll face Boston College, 1-4, on Friday and Saturday, and then Georgia Tech, 0-2, on Saturday and Sunday. “I’d like a strong start, clutch hits and for us to take care of the ball,” Stanton said. “In so many innings we gave them four or five outs. You do this in any game against any opponent, they’ll be able to exploit us. That’s the key.” It’ll be a defensive battle when IU goes up against the Eagles. Four of the five games Boston College has played have been decided by two or less runs. They struggled at the plate in their opening weekend, and only have two players currently with batting averages higher than .300. Senior infielder Chloe
Sharraba will be a handful for the Hoosiers. She sits 13th in the ACC in batting average with .538 and has one home run on the season. IU struggled from the plate as well, only scoring a single run in four of the five games last weekend. The Hoosiers have shown flashes that they can get base runners but haven’t been able to find timely hits to capitalize in those key situations. “I just think we are just getting used to playing with each other,” senior center fielder Rebecca Blitz said. “Our hitting wasn’t where it needed to be. We didn’t get the timely hits. We got the people on base, but we didn’t really get that clutch hit and I think moving forward that’s what we need to be successful.” The one thing the Hoosiers have been able to rely on is their bullpen. Stanton mentioned pitching is the one thing she’s most confident in right now, but IU needs either the defense or batting to step up to be successful. “Having pitching is a game changer,” Stanton said. “They want this year to be different, they want change, and I’m encouraged by that. But it doesn’t matter how much you want change if you don’t have the pitching in the circle, and I believe we have that.” Despite finishing the weekend with a 0-4 record, junior Tara Trainer emerged

as the top pitcher in the Hoosiers rotation. She leads the team among starters with a 3.56 ERA and was asked to handle a majority of the load on the mound, appearing in the last four games for the Hoosiers. She won’t have to go against nearly the same amount of fire power this weekend. Georgia Tech doesn’t have much to scout, considering they’ve only played two games, but they’ve yet to hit a home run this season and only have a single player with over a .300 batting average. “There were a couple times we were a little flat,” Blitz said. “Moving forward, if we have a bit more energy
on the field and finish some plays, get that hit or that one last play, it’s the difference in a win or a loss.” Despite the winless start, the sky isn’t falling for the Hoosiers, especially only after five games. Stanton is confident that she has a special team this season with six seniors on the roster. “We don’t have to worry about our record. We don’t have to worry about the results. Those are going to take care of itself,” Stanton said. “We just have to play one pitch at a time, and you never win or lose until you do. You continue to fight and get better.”

The IU men’s tennis team gathers with coaches before a singles match against Purdue at the IU Tennis Center in April 2017. IU will face Texas Tech on Feb. 17, in Lubbock, Texas. By Drew Frey dlfrey@umail.iu.edu @drewfrey99
The IU men’s tennis team will have momentum on their side as it travels to Lubbock, Texas, on Saturday to battle Texas Tech, but the Red Raiders will provide the Hoosiers with a difficult match-up. A win for IU would give the Hoosiers two consecutive road wins and three straight victories. Meanwhile, No. 24-ranked Texas Tech is coming off its third loss of the season, having fallen to No. 6 Texas A&M on Sunday. Regardless, Texas Tech is still undefeated at home and has not lost to an unranked opponent all season. “Texas Tech is one of the best teams in the country, no doubt,” IU Coach Jeremy Wurtzman said. “It’s going to be a tough task, but we’re up for it, and we feel like if we can get the right matchups, we definitely have a chance.” IU and Texas Tech are no strangers to each other on the court, as the teams have played every year since Wurtzman’s time at IU began in 2014. Wurtzman’s squad has yet to beat the Red Raiders, but he has confidence his team will be prepared. “We’re comfortable with who they have on their team,” Wurtzman said. “We’ll be ready for what they bring.” Sophomore Bennett Crane, who lost his singles match in three sets to Texas Tech last season, said he is optimistic as well. “I think that this year we’re a stronger team and hopefully we’ll be able to get the win there,” Crane said. What IU will face in Texas is a team that is 7-0 at home and has earned road wins against No. 15-ranked Vir-
ginia and a Memphis team who beat IU earlier in the season. Texas Tech has a very deep lineup, as it is the only ranked team without an individually ranked singles player. In doubles though, the Red Raiders have the No. 35-ranked pairing in the nation. The Hoosiers don’t have any doubles rankings, but they do have senior Raheel Manji, who is ranked No. 114 in singles. “That definitely gives us a little confidence that we have a ranked player,” Wurtzman said. “We feel like we’ve got a few ranked players on our team that just haven’t quite hit the rankings yet.” Wurtzman said he believes players such as Manji, junior Antonio Cembellin and senior Keivon Tabrizi specifically are deserving of recognition this year. “Our top three has been strong,” Wurtzman said. “Those guys have really come a long way and are playing some of the best tennis that there is to play in college.” Those three have been mainstays in IU’s lineup this season in the top three singles spots and will likely remain in the same position against Texas Tech. Crane and sophomore Zac Brodney are also likely to play this weekend, considering neither of them have missed a match all season. Freshman Brandon Lam played a lot early in the season, but he hasn’t taken the court for the Hoosiers’ last two matches. Junior Afonso Salgado has been in the singles lineup instead. “It’s nice to have such a strong bench, and it’s nice to have a lot of options,” Wurtzman said. “We’ll see what we go with each match, but the guys are working hard and making it tough to decide.”

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 first doubleheader against Indiana and Wright State this weekend. IU Coach Ramiro Azcui said the doubleheaders will help his team when they face Notre Dame, a strong program consistently ranked in the top 30 to 40 in the country. “In that second game of a doubleheader, you have to play tired and concentrate a lot more,” Azcui said. “When you play a team like Notre Dame, those doubleheaders can make a difference.” Last year, Notre Dame beat IU 6-1 in Bloomington. IU’s only point of the match came from the first doubles point. IU will need to control the match from the start to give itself the best chance of beating Notre Dame and avoid dropping three straight duals to the Fighting Irish. Azcui said the doubles point gives his team momentum and puts less pressure on his players because that puts the team three singles victories away from winning the match. “Anytime you play a good team, you want to be able to win the doubles point,” Azcui said. “It’s hard to take four singles out of a good team. The doubles point becomes a crucial part.” IU is 19-4 in doubles on the season. IU has only ceded the doubles point once against Cincinnati. Sophomore Caitlin Bernard and freshman Jelly Bozovic are undefeated as a duo at 6-0. Junior Madison Appel and freshman Michelle McKamey are 6-2, and junior Natalie Whalen and freshman Olga Zavarotnaya are 4-1. These three pairs above account for 16 of IU’s doubles wins, and it is most likely the lineup IU will field against Notre Dame. As for singles, Appel leads the way at 7-0 for the Hoosiers this season. She will be another point IU looks to earn. Appel has never beaten Notre Dame in the two times she’s faced off against the Fighting Irish. After winning the first set 6-4, Appel lost the next two
6-1, 6-1 in her singles match last year against then-senior Monica Robinson. Appel said she likes her chances of leaving South Bend, Indiana, with a victory. “I am confident about the match,” Appel said. “I am practicing and competing the best I ever have.” Take last weekend, for example. Appel defeated Tennessee junior Sadie Hammond 7-5, 3-6, 7-5. Last year, Appel lost to Hammond 6-3, 6-2. As an upperclassman and the top player, Appel is a leader on the team. Three freshmen – Bozovic, McKamey and Zavarotnaya – will compete in their first collegiate road match, and Appel said the biggest thing she would tell them is to have fun.
“I am practicing and competing the best I ever have.” Madison Appel, junior
“We get to go to really big and talented schools like Notre Dame, and we should enjoy it,” Appel said. “I put too much pressure on myself when I was a freshman, and it wasn’t necessary.” Azcui said he will be looking for the freshmen to adjust to a different environment. He said controlling emotions is the one area of improvement he wants to see from his younger players. “The crowd will be against them,” Azcui said. “This is something they have not experienced yet, and I am hoping they will be able to overcome that.” IU has an opportunity to respond from a tough loss to Tennessee in an emphatic fashion with a win at Notre Dame. Azcui said anytime his team can defeat a power five ACC team that has gotten to the NCAA tournament for so many years, it validates everything IU has been working for. “This is why you come to Indiana,” Azcui said. “You get to play the good teams.”

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “One of the reasons that at least I was interested in working on this is because there are so many things about being a musician that have nothing to do with being a musician,” said Thomas, referring to the managerial duties that go with producing music. Among these duties include setting the release date, writing a press sheet and sending emails. On Friday, Feb. 16, the group will debut Bloomington-based Heaven Honey’s first single, "Been Anybody," and in March the label is set to release an EP. 1212 Records anticipates a summer release for Fresh Kill, all-girl music trio in Bloomington, who also recently signed and began recording with the label. The first group to sign with them, Heaven Honey, is lead by IU arts management senior Jordan Gomes-Kuehner. Rounding out the group are guitarist Nick Harley and drummer Iain Donkin, both former IU students. Gomes-Kueher, a selftaught guitarist and an avid drummer, said she had little musical experience before coming to IU in 2014. She said played the drums for another group, Her Again, before it disbanded, and she formed Heaven Honey, which performed throughout the fall 2017 semester in venues throughout Bloomington. She found out about 1212 Records through a colleague from Her Again. Thomas reached out to her in the fall about signing with 1212. Gomes-Kueher said she’s enjoyed learning the process with 1212 Records. “We’re both kind of learning as we go,” GomesKueher said. “The other day I asked Collin what should we do? What do most bands do? What’s standard protocol? He was like ‘I don’t know. I’m just as new to this as you are.’ So that's also nice. It’s not as intimi-

dating.” Thomas said that Heaven Honey and Fresh Kill are good enough to be with major labels. “We have mutually beneficial relationships with these people right now because they are offering us access to their art, and
we’re super passionate about that,” Thomas said. Heaven Honey recently announced it will perform as the opener at WIUX’s Culture Shock Festival on Feb. 16, along with Whitney, White Reaper and other notable bands. Thomas and Berger said
they would like to see the day when they could run their record label full-time and are currently scouting for new talent. 1212 Record’s upcoming releases will be available on Apple, Spotify, SoundCloud and any other place music is sold.

When Vine catapulted into mass popularity in 2013 as Twitter’s offshoot or weird youngest child, it became a bizarre factory for pumping out six-second looping videos that quickly turned into vibrant slivers of culture. Vines captured the beauty of the internet’s spontaneity, and we got lost in its slew of punchy videos like people did with Wikipedia just years before. But what made us fall so in love with Vine? A vine is often referred to as the visual equivalent of a tweet, but that comparison is limited. Twitter is a place to joke about celebrities and whine about politics. It’s wordy, political and often pretentious. While often cringey in retrospect, Vine was unpretentious, accessible and expressive in a way Twitter could never be. Vine was the Walmart of social networks in a sea of Targets. It was trashy, but unabashedly itself and effortlessly genuine. The platform didn’t pretend to be more than it was, but it captured the possibilities and humor behind everyday life.
Six seconds seemed arbitrary, even limiting. But instead, the six-second restriction of Vine became an inspiring catalyst for creating culture. While possibilities without constraint can be paralyzing, the six-second limit removed the paralysis of choice. The limit is reminiscent of six-word stories, including the famous “For sale: baby shoes, never worn” that was thought to be by Ernest Hemingway. Like Hemingway, the art of brevity is something every good writer and artist learns. And while people might expect it to be limiting, these constraints open up possibilities by closing others. In Vines, a moment is plucked out of the world a repeated ad infinitum for all to see. Just through looping, a clip of something so normal, such as a person falling, becomes instantly funny. There’s something inherently beautiful and hilarious about this loop as it amplifies the absurd and rejects the normal. The broken record loop becomes an engine for comedy and yes, art, even on Vine. The entertainment industry is often criticized for moving too slowly and taking years to develop new ideas and switch tracks. But Vine moved in rap-
id-fire bursts of innovation that routinely disrupted the status quo of the entire platform and swerved it onto a new course with each new trend, from “My Name is Jeff ” to “Yeet.” As a result, Vine never had a sense of normal. It was in constant flux and always created something new and interesting. Ridiculous and unpolished, Vine became a place where young people converged to laugh at themselves, to share inside jokes that brought people together across barriers, to create new dance moves such as “Kirby’s Dreamland Challenge” and dabbing, and to develop punchy new slang terms that transformed language. It also invented a strange new language and aesthetic, and built pieces of pop culture on a silly slew of accidents, dumb jokes and good-natured fun. When we lost Vine, we didn’t just lose some frivolous website or app. We lost a mechanism for churning out morsels of culture. We lost a mode of expression. But if you ever feel the inkling to dig Vine up from its grave or pay your respects, there’s always the option of stopping by the Vine graveyard on Vine’s archives. May she rest in peace.

Vine’s glory won’t be recreated in v2 Hannah Reed is a junior in journalism.
Remaking something that did really well the first time around doesn’t sit well with me. As an avid vine watcher – and, I’ll admit it, poster – I was originally excited about the second coming of Vine, v2, but then I thought about it a little bit more. I’ll get right to the point – I expect v2 to flop. Similar to “Fuller House” trying to gain traction on Netflix after “Full House,” I suspect people will be into it for about a week or so. The problem with this new platform is while people will want to get into it, some of the best former Viners are already working on other projects that take up their time. Some of my favorite vine creators, like CodyKo and Liza Koshy, are putting their time and effort into other platforms. CodyKo currently runs three podcasts, uploads to a YouTube channel, and is working on his
acting career. Koshy posts to a YouTube channel; works with companies like Beats by Dre and Nike; and is currently filming her own show, "Liza on Demand." Vine was something that, as my friends say, reprogrammed my brain. I used to spend hours browsing the app, and after it was deleted, I spent hours watching vine compilations on YouTube – something I still do, by the way. So, though I think it may flop, I’m still a bit hopeful. You may be thinking, “Vines are only six seconds long, so it’ll be really easy for them to post, though, right?” Technically, this is true, but if you think about how long it took for the quality Viners to film something they were proud of, Viners that return to the app with the same content that helped them create their careers may be few and far between.

Alex Ross Perry visits IU Cinema By Chris Forrester chforres@umail.iu.edu @_ChrisForrester
Alex Ross Perry, whose films will screen this weekend at the IU Cinema in a series “Alex Ross Perry: Willing to Risk Everything,” is a filmmaker like no other, composer Keegan Dewitt said. “He’s got a very specific voice in terms of being a screenwriter and a director,” Dewitt said. Dewitt started out in film school. He later collaborated with peers for several films, including “Queen of Earth” and “Golden Exits.” While the first film was in January, the series will continue Thursday and Friday. The series will even include an opportunity to see the filmmaker’s newest work, the drama “Golden Exits,” which only began playing in U.S. theaters in limited release Feb. 9. This film will be screened at 7 p.m. Thursday. Perry is scheduled to be present at all screenings. On Friday, the cinema will host a Q&A between Perry and film blogger Nathaniel Sexton. Next will be screenings of “The Color Wheel” and “Queen of Earth” at 6:30 and 9:30 p.m., respectively. Tickets cost $4. Another attribute of Perry’s filmmaking is that he is open to allowing the voices of the other creatives – editors, composers, cinematographers, Dewitt said. “Alex does a lot of his work in the script,” he said. “He doesn’t have this feeling of vulnerability that new music is suddenly going to betray the entire meaning of his film.” He said viewers will see diversity in Perry’s work. “I think that across the different collaborations that I’ve had with Alex, with ‘Golden Exits’ and ‘Queen of Earth’ and ‘Listen up Philip,’
they’re all pretty substantially different,” Dewitt said. Sexton said he admired the variability of Perry’s films. “Every time he’s made a film he’s tried to do something different,” Sexton said. Sexton writes for IU Cinema’s “A Place for Film” blog and said he’s excited for people to see some of his films with the filmmaker there. “It’s kind of difficult to articulate exactly how valuable that can be,” he said. To have a filmmaker like Perry present, Sexton said, is a rare treat. Sexton said his favorite Perry film is the 2011 film “The Color Wheel.” “I think I find it to be his most emotionally and intellectually challenging film, despite the fact that on its face it’s a total farce,” Sexton said. “That kind of disconnect between its generic underpinnings and its soaring emotional insights I think is really exciting.” He said he admired the director for his screenwriting and compelling choices. “I like how well-written they are,” Sexton said. “They’re really verbose, there’s a kind of rapid language interplay with a lot of characters kind of riffing on one another that is reminiscent of an older Hollywood screwball comedy.” Sexton said he admired the director’s willingness to experiment. “I think what makes his films especially remarkable are the formal attention he brings to them,” Sexton said. Sexton said he hoped people in town would recognize Perry’s up-and-coming talent and take the opportunity to learn from him. “This is a really rare opportunity to see someone who could very well be in future decades written about in film textbooks as an important figure,” Sexton said.

Reel-living the past Historian preserves film that inspired ‘Hoosiers’ By Chris Forrester chforres@umail.iu.edu @_ChrisForrester
Film historian Eric Grayson is restoring the film reels of the two 1954 high school championship basketball games that inspired the 1986 sports film "Hoosiers." Film archivist Andy Uhrich said the films were initially shot as part of an IU initiative to distribute and produce educational films to students and the public. “They were made with the idea that they would be sent out to other teams to watch,” Uhrich, who works at the University's moving image archive, said. The University, Grayson added, made multiple copies of the films for distribution. Both games were originally shot in black and white with no sound. Grayson, who is now helming a restoration project to digitize the films, said he first got ahold of them in early 2015. “It’s been boiling for about two or three years,” he said. “I had to go through a grant process, and film restoration efforts, and fundraising stuff. It’s been going on since then, and it’s just now getting done.” Grayson said he began working with the best available copies of the films he could find, which weren’t the copies stored at IU. Uhrich said with a medium such as film, natural decay and wear-and-tear are problems to overcome. The material inevitably degrades over time as it reacts S SPORTS ARTS & ENTERTAINM MEDIA NEWS SPORTS ARTS & EN RES MULTIMEDIA NEWS SPORT & FEATURES MULTIMEDIA NEW OPINION IN DEPTH & FEATURES NTERTAINMENT OPINION IN DEP S SPORTS ARTS & ENTERTAINME MEDIA NEWS SPORTS ARTS & EN RES MULTIMEDIA NEWS SPORT & FEATURES MULTIMEDIA NEW OPINION IN DEPTH & FEATURES NTERTAINMENT OPINION IN DEP S SPORTS ARTS & ENTERTAINME MEDIA NEWS SPORTS ARTS & EN RES MULTIMEDIA NEWS SPORT & FEATURES MULTIMEDIA NEW OPINION IN DEPTH & FEATURES NTERTAINMENT OPINION IN DEP S SPORTS ARTS & ENTERTAINME MEDIA NEWS SPORTS ARTS & EN RES MULTIMEDIA NEWS SPORTS & FEATURES MULTIMEDIA NEW OPINION IN DEPTH & FEATURES NTERTAINMENT OPINION IN DEP S SPORTS ARTS & ENTERTAINME @idsnews MEDIA NEWS SPORTS ARTS & EN RES MULTIMEDIA NEWS SPORT & FEATURES MULTIMEDIA NEW OPINION IN @idsnews DEPTH & FEATURES NTERTAINMENT OPINION IN DEP S SPORTS ARTS & ENTERTAINME MEDIA NEWS SPORTS ARTS & EN idsnews RES MULTIMEDIA NEWS SPORT & FEATURES MULTIMEDIA NEW OPINION IN DEPTH & FEATURES NTERTAINMENT OPINION IN DEP idsnews S SPORTS ARTS & ENTERTAINME MEDIA NEWS SPORTS ARTS & EN RES MULTIMEDIA NEWS SPORT & FEATURES MULTIMEDIA NEW OPINION IN DEPTH & FEATURES NTERTAINMENT OPINION IN DEP S SPORTS ARTS & ENTERTAINME MEDIA NEWS SPORTS ARTS & EN RES MULTIMEDIA NEWS SPORT & FEATURES MULTIMEDIA NEW OPINION IN DEPTH & FEATURES NTERTAINMENT OPINION IN DEP S SPORTS ARTS & ENTERTAINME MEDIA NEWS SPORTS ARTS & EN RES MULTIMEDIA NEWS SPORT & FEATURES MULTIMEDIA NEW OPINION IN DEPTH & FEATURES NTERTAINMENT OPINION IN DEP S SPORTS ARTS & ENTERTAINME MEDIA NEWS SPORTS ARTS & EN
with its environment. He said the film reels can preserved in a freezer. But that doesn’t change the decades’ worth of degradation the reels had already suffered. Uhrich said restoration efforts are a necessity to preserve old film reels for future generations. “If you wanna save this piece of history, this representation of history, you have to save the material artifact,” he said. The films were shot in 1954 when the Milan High School's basketball team, a scrappy team from a small school, beat the much larger Muncie Central High School in a now famed event Grayson said was known informally as the Milan Miracle. “The legacy is huge; everybody remembers this game,” Grayson said. “It’s a milestone in high school

basketball.” Grayson said the film did not directly adapt the story of the Milan Miracle because the creators did not want to worry about obtaining the rights to the story. As a result, the filmmakers changed names and events, but, Grayson said, the story and its spirit remained the

Top Andy Ulrich, a film archivist, unrolls the film of the Muncie vs. Milan Indiana High School Boys Basketball Tournament championship from 1954. This film reel helped inspire the movie “Hoosiers.” Above Ulrich shows some of the damage that has happened over time to the film reel of the 1954 semi-final Indiana High School Boys Basketball Tournament championship with Terre Haute vs. Milan. The film reels are kept in a cold area to prevent further damage.
same. He said part of what makes the games so special is that class systems now make games between such unfairly-matched teams like Milan and Muncie impossible, preventing underdog triumphs like the Miracle in the future. He said he thinks the historic basketball games are special because they tie into an innate love for underdog stories. “I never know what makes an underdog story so vital." Grayson said. "It’s part of the American mystique. It’s a very American thing to always root for the underdog, and Milan High School was by far an underdog here.” He said he felt it was important to preserve this record of an important cul-
tural occurrence. “It’s sort of providing this access for people to their own past and to their own stories,” he said. “That can be really entertaining, that can be really emotional, that can build communities, it can make people think finally about the past.” Grayson said the influence of the Milan Miracle was tremendous. In Indianapolis, there’s a restaurant called Plump’s Last Shot in honor of Milan Basketball player Bobby Plump, who scored the final shot of the game. Grayson said because of this, he felt a personal drive to make sure the old films saw proper restoration. “If I didn’t save them, then it wasn’t gonna get saved,” Grayson said. “Who else is gonna do it but me?”

EDITORIAL BOARD
Technology should be seen in a positive light The New York Times recently launched a massive project on what they call the “Post-Text Future,” referring to our society post the technological revolution of the late 1990s and early 2000s. The piece seemingly portrays our new post-tech society as negative, with pictures and gifs of people tattooed in symbols of social media, memes and text message conversations. While we understand there are indeed negative side-effects of technology, such as the everlasting anxiety induced by social media notifications, the rise of terrifying political groups in the dark recesses of 4chan and virtual money becoming the norm, we don’t want to spend our time here discussing the negatives of our new society. We’ve already done that. Other parts of the series portray society in a more positive light by taking some cultural advancements into consideration. We have a new vocabulary! Emojis, Bitcoins #MirrorSelfie #Hashtag. Along with new vocab words and derogatory terms toward white men, our in-
ternet has turned toward a more visual-based platform, hence NYT’s term “post-text,” a time beyond words. The New York Times may frame this in a negative light, by saying visual media will kill off proseand text-based platforms, but we think there will be a healthy balance between the two types of media. Also, we love to look at our Instagram timelines and catch up on memes. With an image revolution comes an audio revolution. The use of text is not only backing down to be on level with picture heavy websites, but audiobooks and podcasts are becoming more and more popular among people who love to ingest knowledge. The piece reports people spent one billion hours watching YouTube. Other video sources include Netflix, Vine, videos on Twitter and Facebook, and these surely received similar numbers in recent years. This may feel hard to swallow, but it isn’t the end of the world. We are still just broadening our horizons. The revolutionized internet has given us many other
wonderful things. It is helping make people and businesses more responsible for their actions. The piece refers to a woman who repeatedly reported sexual harassment in the workplace but saw no consequence implemented until after going the #MeToo movement. We’ve all seen the way this movement has grown exponentially on the internet with videos, long blog posts and protests on television. Businesses are being held accountable for who they target their ads toward as well as who they represent. No company can support any sort of bigotry or hate fueled ideology without being put under fire by the internet. Ads were withdrawn from YouTube videos over inappropriate content children might access, leading YouTube to fix their content regulations. People are becoming more creative in this content boom and are being held responsible. The posttech and post-text revolution is not inherently bad for our future. Let’s hold off on making total judgement and see what the next decade has in store for us.

SHOWALTER’S SHOW AND TELL
EMMA GETZ IT
Algorithms are to blame for the market downturn
Internet audiences need to support online publications
Therin Showalter is a junior in law and public policy.
The end of trading Friday marked two weeks of declines for all the major stock market indexes since closing at record highs Jan. 26. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 entered correction mode late last week, falling 10 percent. This makes it one of the most volatile weeks since the recession. Of course, establishing blame for the huge selloff has been paramount for economist analysts and politicians. The former have pointed to rising bond yields and signals of rapidly increasing inflation, but President Donald Trump had a different opinion. On Twitter, the president wrote, “In the ‘old days,’ when good news was reported, the Stock Market would go up. Today, when good news is reported, the Stock Market goes down”. It might initially seem odd following the Feb. 2 jobs report, which showed higher-
than-expected job creation and wage growth, that the stock market would lose 10 percent of its value. This is why the timeline is so crucial here. The stock market had already been in decline, although much less pronounced, for the week leading up to the jobs report. Something else, like anxiety about an overheating economy (the S&P 500 posted its best month since 1997 in January, after all) or the Federal Reserve’s intention to raise interest rates faster than expected, likely put an end to the market’s rapid rise even before the release of the jobs report. But even if that’s true, even if investors started getting the jitters, triggering a slight decline, something else entirely may be responsible for exacerbating the problem into a full-blown market correction. The use of artificial intelligence, known as algorithmic trading and “quantitative investing,” accounts for
about 60 percent of stock trades, according to Marko Kolanovic, the Global Head of Macro Quantitative and Derivatives Strategy and Senior Analyst at JP Morgan Chase & Co, Research Division. These computers make thousands of trades per second. They execute automatic sell orders when stocks drop below a certain price and they use sophisticated algorithms to track market trends. Due to the slowdown in the market between Jan. 29 and Feb. 2, combined with an increase in the market’s “fear gauge,” computer trading programs likely resulted in the Dow Jones’ 1,000+ point loss the following Monday, launching a domino effect throughout that week and sending the markets plummeting. Michael Yoshikama, the chief executive of Destination Wealth Management, an investment-management firm, told the Wash-
ington Post, “What [automated trading] does is it ramps up the psychology of fear and greed for investors,” This leads us to a self-fulfilling prophecy. A.I. exacerbates the anxiety of human traders and triggers a correction. Ordinary investors, including those with a retirement account, become spooked by the correction and start selling their shares, sending the market down even more. A.I. responds to that trend, executing more sell orders, and you get the picture. What those of us with stakes in the market should do right now is nothing. The fundamentals of our economy remain strong. Corrections occur annually and the market always bounces back. What those of you without stake in the market should do right now is buy the dip. It’s a great opportunity to come out ahead while the rest of us work on building back our gains from the last three months.
KLEIN OF A BIG DEAL
Celebrating Valentine’s Day should be encouraged Maddy Klein is a junior in English and comparitive literature.
The day of love is coming soon, and I encourage you to make it just that — a day when you try a little harder to show your loved ones you care. Valentine’s Day is a holiday that understandably generates mixed reactions. A recognized celebration of love can be a convenient excuse to act even more like a couple if you are in a relationship, or an annoying distraction if romance is not your thing. However, holidays can also provide helpful reminders of attitudes and behaviors. These can improve our lives no matter what time of year we apply them. You may not be interested in stuffed animals and flow-
ers, but hopefully, you see the value in finding some way to let your favorite people know how much they matter. It can sometimes feel like the cool thing to be cynical rather than sentimental. We have all — likely when we were single — made at least one quip about this holiday. Personally, I know I have walked past grocery store displays and bitterly joked to friends about our capitalist society’s commodification of human emotion. But bitter jokes aside, think of how much better it feels when you decide to stop being apathetic and start being affectionate. If you cringed at that, don’t worry — I did too. But I also meant it, and I happen to be aware of a helpful bit of psychological research to back
me up. Research that began with the Harvard Study of Adult Development compared the life experiences and health of study participants as they aged. The results showed that maintaining close relationships helps delay mental and physical decline. This trend is also in research reviewed in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior, which explains that social support can improve mental and physical health by decreasing the negative effects of stress. According to the study, social support also reduces the risk of mentally and physically unhealthy behaviors. In this case, research supports a conclusion that most of us can intuitively acknowledge. Whether you are giving or receiving, spreading the
love is good for everyone. Even if you think life is just a random series of events wouldn’t it be nice if more of those events made you and others feel loved? It’s fair to point out that Valentine’s Day still mostly focuses on romantic rather than platonic love. In 2018, though, Valentine’s Day is not just for couples. There are plenty of festive, affectionate things you can do to celebrate. You don’t need a hot date to go out to a nice dinner, and you can hand out cute valentines to your friends regardless of your relationship status. The bottom line is that tomorrow can be a great day if you want it to be. Don’t be afraid to get into the Valentine’s Day spirit and push yourself to love a little more.

Many independent publications are closing down due to an unsustainable readership and online environment. “The Toast,” a blog known for its eclectic essays and riffs, is gone from the internet. The website was distinct in its hilarious and insightful posts, providing internet classics like “Two Monks Invent Medieval Art.” Co-founders Nicole Cliffe and Mallory Ortberg announced in 2016 that the website was no longer financially sustainable in the current environment due to insufficient traffic and readership. The archives were available for a while, but are no longer accessible. This is just one example of the tragic downfall of small, independent publishing online for emerging writers. Last month, online publication “The Awl” announced its closing for similar reasons. “The Awl” started in 2009 and became famous for its humorous commentary, essays, gossip and asides. Many writers were able to experiment and submit their work, which became a starting point for them to get noticed. Contributors went on to write for “The New Yorker,” “Vox” and more. Max Linsky tweeted, “For many years when promising young writers asked me for career advice I told them to apply for jobs at alt-weeklies. For years after those jobs disappeared I told them to pitch ‘The Awl.’ No idea what to tell them these days.” Online publications are limited in how they can bring in revenue. The main method is running a lot of advertisements, which can be extremely inconvenient and drive away readers. Another method is generating
more content to appeal to the mainstream news cycle that currently dominates media. This is what destroys small and independent publications. Pieces such as “Two Monks Invent Medieval Art” do not fit anywhere into the mainstream news cycle, and changing and targeting content destroys the heart and spirit of these independent publications. This is essentially what lead to the downfall of “The Toast,” and “The Awl”. The original content could not survive in an online universe dominated by sensationalized political media. All of this is not to say small, independent publishing is dead. There is a lot of amazing content being written. My personal favorite publication, “The Niche,” provides creative pieces on elements of media, pop culture and life in general. It started as an inside joke between friends, but has gained a loyal following in the past year. “The Niche” has provided many genius pieces such as “Paddington 2 vs. Every 2017 Oscar Nominee: A Deathmatch.” What makes “The Niche” special is its contributors are writing and generating content for no other reason than the love of writing. At the same time, it is sad talented writers have to settle for sharing their content as a hobby without gaining any profit. In a perfect world, aspiring writers could make a living writing about their passions without having to sell to the mainstream news cycle. With internet users and media doing everything it can to drive out independent writers, we need your voices now more than ever. Submit to blogs and start your own, post your work everywhere, and share it with absolutely anyone who will listen.
SIDE WITH SMITH
Cities should support civilian oversight boards for law enforcement Ethan Smith is a sophomore in political science and voice performance.
Jocques Clemmons was shot and killed Feb. 10 by Metro Police Officer Joshua Lippert in Nashville, TN. The shooting got media attention and sparked an outcry from the community. Many called for a justification and deep investigation, but this dissolved.
What interests me about this case was the community’s support for a civilian oversight board, an independent agency with the right to investigate citizen complaints about police. Members of the Nashville City Council spent months drafting legislation to create this board. However, just last month it was voted down. The defining argument was there is not enough proof these civilian oversight boards
work. Although this may be true, there is no evidence these boards do not work. There is little data on them because the boards that do exist across the country vary greatly due to individual cities’ needs and the differences in the drafted legislation. Although there may be little data on these boards, in 2016 there was over 144 oversight agencies in the country. These agencies do not
come from nowhere. They are formed because there was a cry from the community over their lack of trust in their law enforcement. The injustice that runs through the nation’s law enforcement agencies is outrageous. And even if police forces are acting justly, the gap between black and white Americans’ approval ratings is insane. Pew Research Center reported in 2016 that black
Americans are about half as likely as whites to have a positive view of police treatment of racial and ethnic groups. And this is not without reason; a study from Drexel University showed black people are nearly three times more likely than white people to die due to police action. I don’t want to be misunderstood. I think our police forces are excellent resources. However, it is not right to
say these agencies should be blindly trusted. If the people of a city are wary of their police, then a check on this power is needed. People need to raise their voices when they see injustice in their police forces. Likewise, representatives — just like the ones in Nashville, TN — ought to start representing the their constituents’ cries by forming civilian oversight boards.

IDS Do you have a favorite vine? Jay I like the avocado one. With the kid. IDS What was your favorite part about Vine? Jay Funny videos. It was fun to watch. They were short. IDS There are rumors that a new Vine is going to come out. What are thoughts on that? Jay I don’t even understand why Vine shut down. IDS I think it had something
it’s like, “Sea God,” or “Poseidon of the sea.” IDS That’s my favorite one. Krista “Poseidon quivers before him,” or whatever. It’s so funny. I still laugh when I watch it, even though it’s been a while. IDS What was your favorite part about watching vines? Krista Since it was my sister who had the app and showed it to me, probably my favorite part was sharing it with her. We don’t have a lot of things in common, but that was something we both found funny. IDS There are rumors of another Vine app coming out called v2, which is supposed to be like Vine, but better. What are your comments and thoughts about that? Krista Since I didn’t have it downloaded before, maybe I would this time, since I became more familiar with the videos after it went away. As long as the people who were originally a part of it would still be involved. I remember I loved Thomas Sanders. He’s so funny. He posts on Tumblr a lot, still.
“Since I didn’t have it downloaded before, maybe I would this time, since I became more familiar with the videos after it went away.”
“My favorite vine is the one of the guy in New York with the rubber chicken going, ‘Love yourself,’ because it’s just so wholesome and cute, but it can make me laugh for hours. I love it.”
“I believe it’s an important vine for the culture, as much humor is dad-adjacent, but less is father-celebratory. We boogie woogie for this one father, yes, but in doing so, we boogie woogie for all good dads everywhere.

Answer to previous puzzle

NON SEQUITUR
Viners moved over to YouTube or began acting careers, their ideas and time will be funneled elsewhere. I think the former Viners will post on v2 at first, but then slowly fade out, because they’ll realize they need to think of ideas for several platforms already – YouTube, Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat – and these may already take up most of their time. However, I will say that v2 may bring new creators into play. While I suspect previous creators may be too busy for the app, people who are new to the game may be able to gain traction using v2. Obviously, as a self-proclaimed world’s largest Vine fan, I will be downloading the app to keep up with all of the Viners and see if it’s anything good. Since the release of Vine in 2013, I don’t think I’ve gone more than a day without quoting a video from the app. I have my fingers crossed that I’m wrong about v2, and I’ll be able to have even more videos to quote, but something in my gut tells me it just won’t be the same.
