Hopscotch Coffee, p. 2 IU provost addresses antisemitic comments

Demonstrators, students protest possible military action in Ukraine

By Cameron Garber garberc@iu.edu | @garber_cameron

Editor's Note: This story includes mention of antisemitism.

The police are investigating a series of antisemitic comments targeting Jewish students at IU on the website Greek Rank, according to a statement to IU’s greek life community from Provost and Executive Vice President Rahul Shrivastav.

“This attempt to anonymously spread hate is cowardly, horrific, and simply unacceptable in the IU community,” Shrivastav said in the letter. “A police investigation is underway, and the person or people who made these posts who can be identified will be held accountable.”

Shrivastav said IU is “committed to creating a safe, in-

clusive environment” in the statement. University officials met with the executive director of IU Hillel, leaders of the IU Panhellenic Association and leaders of the IU Interfraternity Council to address the hateful comments.

IU Hillel said their organization is committed to the safety and security of students, and urges people to reach out to them at any time for support, according to a post on Instagram.

The Office of Sorority and Fraternity Life is in close contact with the leaders of greek life organizations affected by the statements, according to the letter.

Last semester, Jewish institutions on campus alerted IU President Pamela Whitten about an increase in antisemitic incidents, including vandalism and verbal harassment.

IU says masks will be optional starting March 4 HELEN RUMMEL | IDS

Drivers honked intermittently at a group of demonstrators in front of the Monroe County Courthouse on Sunday afternoon. With posters and wooden peace signs in hand, the group cried out chants in protest

of any American violence in Russia or Ukraine and NATO. There continue to be reports of rising tension in Ukraine after artillery shells caused damage in the country over the last several days.

The New York Times reported five Ukrainian soldiers have been wounded and two

killed in the shelling from Russian-backed separatists.

As the demonstration in Bloomington continued, French President Emmanuel Macron and Russian Leader Vladimir Putin worked to plan a meeting in favor of a ceasefire. In addition, the White House announced a tentative meeting between

Indoor spaces where masks will be optional include classrooms, residence halls, dining spaces, common areas in buildings

Masks will still be required in healthcare settings and research spaces, according to the article.

The decision is a result of state and county public health orders expected to expire on March 4 as well as declining COVID-19 cases at IU and in Indiana, according to the article.

IU will still distribute KN95 and N95 masks.

Street Pennies played crowd favorites at The Bluebird

By Taylor Satoski tsatoski@iu.edu | @taylorsatoski

After a family dinner at Yogi’s, several members of local band Street Pennies walked back to The Bluebird to perform on Feb. 16.

The walls of the bar were lined with posters of famous musicians who have performed at The Bluebird, including Koko Taylor and Morgan Wallen. Ryan Cook, saxophone player, placed a Street Pennies sticker on a wall in the green room. He said performing on that stage is humbling for the whole band.

“I think in many ways, The Bluebird is kind of the apex of the scene here,” trumpet and tambourine player Abe Plaut said.

The crowd erupted when the band members walked on the stage. By the second song, vocalist Ollie Grcich had taken her microphone out of its stand and moved more freely on the stage.

Not one person stood still — the entire place was moving. As each members’ head nodded along with the music, Plaut jumped up and down, and Grcich turned to face each member of the band.

Grcich danced as much as she sang.

An audience member said Grcich brings great energy to the stage, and she wants to see her perform everyday for the rest of her life.

By the third song, the floor of the venue was no longer visible. People had abandoned their tables and rushed to the floor to be closer to the stage. Phone flashlights, waving arms and beer

bottles were raised toward the stage by many audience members.

The band played “This Love” by Maroon 5 and “Respect” by Aretha Franklin.

Vocalists Lucas Hallal and Grcich belted out the lyrics.

The crowd sang every word back to them as Grcich bent down, face to face with her fans.

“I want to be in people’s

faces and have them sing it with me,” Grcich said.

Johnathan Hasey, guitarist, even played his guitar behind his head during one song. At many points of the night, members of the band would sit on the stage, playing their guitars and singing on the floor, their heads level with the members of the crowd.

At one point, Hallal was

sitting on the ground, singing up to Grcich as she sang down to him. Plaut, with a tambourine in his lap, sat between them. The connection between the band members was evident.

When the band broke into the song, “She’s So Gone” by Naomi Scott, the crowd immediately jumped in the air and sang every lyric along with them.

As a cover band, they spoke about wanting to produce their own music.

“I’d hate to be in this band and not make at least one original,” Michael Carter, keyboard player, said. “We’re all way too good for that.”

Carter said he would want their original song to have a lovesick vibe, influenced by The Jonas Brothers’s song “Lovebug.” Grcich said she

would want the song to include a heavy blues influence.

Grcich said the band wants to play another house show and make their music accessible to everyone.

“By only doing 21 and up shows, we’re completely ignoring a whole (other) group of people who want to be able to go out and listen to music,” she said.

Hopscotch Coffee to open separate dining venue in mid-March Hopscotch Coffee plans to open the Hopscotch Kitchen, a restaurant with greater variety in baked goods and meals attached to their current flagship location at 235 W. Dodd St., in mid-March.

The Kitchen will be open from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekdays and then from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekends. Customers can order breakfast and lunch options throughout the week and brunch on the weekends.

Mallory Goelz, one of two kitchen managers at Hopscotch Coffee, said they wanted to open a kitchen to provide a sit-down experience and more variety for

their patrons.

“I mean, just previously being a customer before working for these guys, there’s been a lack of more sit-down food and fresh produce; that’s just an issue in this neighborhood at large,” Goelz said. “We want to provide that for people and hopefully become more of a destination place for people.”

In the past, the coffee shop offered baked goods from Rainbow Bakery, but they’d like to offer a greater variety of food options, she said.

Alex Mann, Hopscotch’s other kitchen manager, said the kitchen’s staff learned more about the sourdough

and fermentation process during the pandemic.

“We’re producing sourdough for the restaurant, and we’re also starting to sell it here at the coffee spot,” Mann said. “It kind of became a theme. There are also nutritional and digestive benefits in fermented items.”

Mann said the new location will prioritize working with Bloomington vendors such as the People’s Market, a cooperative market featuring local farmers and small businesses.

“It’s hard to find good fermented foods in restaurants,” Gus Deverter, the kitchen’s assistant manager said.

“With quality ingredients, it

seems like fermentation is really baked into the identity of the restaurant.”

Erin Tobey, the co-owner and marketing director at Hopscotch Coffee, said the staff served Circle City Kombucha and are working on a House Kombucha as well as other popular foods with fermented elements. Some of those include cultured butter, kimchi, pickles, brines and sauces. She said they want to create more unique and recognizable flavors.

She said the Kitchen staff held tastings with current Hopscotch Coffee staff as well as their friends, families and other community members.

“We’re soliciting feedback with all those orders that go out on an online form and so far, it’s been really positive and going really well,” Tobey said.

Tobey said the plan for Hopscotch Kitchen existed months before the pandemic began. When the virus became a larger concern, she said the team took more time to envision the setup and structure of the kitchen.

“I think we all have a pretty optimistic sense at this point where it feels like we can see the future,” Tobey said.

She said the team feels like people are getting more comfortable with in-person

dining again. While things haven’t completely gone back to normal, Tobey said people are still coming to Hopscotch Coffee, and they can start to open more outdoor seating as the weather gets warmer.

“I think we really enjoyed being a hub in the community and being that special place for people to come,” Tobey said. “The hope is that we can give people more.

Being able to serve people breakfast and lunch as a part of their routine would be really meaningful to us and how we use this space.”

New IU provost wants to prioritize research, update curriculum

By Lauren McLaughlin lrmclaug@iu.edu | @l_mclaughlin8

Rahul Shrivastav, the new IU-Bloomington provost and executive vice president, entered the role Tuesday with the goal of growing IU’s research opportunities and strengthening output for the resulting discoveries.

Shrivastav said he doesn’t know the specific research areas he would like to focus on growing yet but wants to create a support system for discoveries so they can flourish outside IU. “I have to discover more before I can put a finger down on, ‘Here’s something we really need to do,’” he said. “There’s a lot of very, very talented people there, and I really want to go and sort of learn and see before we lock down on something very, very tangible.”

Shrivastav said he wants to keep curriculum and degree programs updated to prepare for changing field expectations.

“Because the world around us continues to change more and more rapidly, we need to stay a step ahead,” Shrivastav said. “We need to focus on areas of

strength that we have and invest in growing that.”

Shrivastav earned his doctoral degree in speech and hearing sciences from IU in 2001, he said. Most recently, he was the vice president for instruction and a professor at the University of Georgia. In addition to his role as provost, he will assume a faculty position at IU in his field of speech and hearing sciences, according to News at IU. Shrivastav said he plans to engage with students through IU Student Government. He had a students’ advisory board at UGA, but is not sure if he will recreate it at IU yet. He said he wants to see if there are similar groups that already exist.

While there is a student’s advisory board for the Office of the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education, there is not one for IU’s provost.

“Students need to have a foot in some of the decisions that the university makes,” he said. “Students and alumni are another really important constituent that I want to listen to because their experiences — things that work well, things that have room for improvement

LA RONDINE G. PUCCINI

— that’s the feedback that helps me think how we can do things better.”

He said he is excited to be back on IU’s campus, especially because he appreciates the balance IU has between the sciences, social sciences and arts and humanities.

“IU is one that you could go see a world-class opera one day and go listen to a groundbreaking discovery the next day all on the same campus,” Shrivastav said.

William Vencill, one of the associate vice presidents for instruction at UGA, said Shrivastav and IU President Pamela Whitten have known each other for a while because they worked at UGA and Michigan State University together.

Shrivastav started serving as the UGA vice president for instruction in 2015 while Whitten was UGA’s provost from 2014 to 2018.

In 2012, Shrivastav became the chair of the Department of Communicative Sciences and Disorders at Michigan State University while Whitten was the dean of the College of Communication Arts & Sciences at MSU. Naomi Norman, the other associate vice presi-

She said she thinks Shrivastav will bring creativity to his new position at IU. “He hasn’t shared with me any of his ideas going in,” Norman said. “But you can be certain that he’ll have ideas, and he’ll bring a lot of new energy and a lot of new creative thinking to the

position.”

Norman said Shrivastav was attentive when listening to the concerns of students and faculty. She said he showed this commitment through his students’ advisory board.

“Any student who ever contacted him for a meeting, to my knowledge, he always said yes,” she said.

Vencill said he was calm and full of innovative ideas when their team was trying to figure out how to conduct virtual learning.

DA’NASIA DID IT

Where’s the IMU Bookstore’s Black History Month section?

By Da’Nasia Pruitt pruittd@iu.edu | @danasialp

Several students noticed IU hasn’t done a good job of celebrating Black History Month this year, particularly at the Indiana Memorial Union.

The IMU sees a constant influx of students, faculty, visitors and staff every day. It also has a bookstore where people, particularly students, can go buy books, school supplies, IU apparel, and rent and return books.

Aside from the NealMarshall Black Culture Center events and Office of the Vice Provost of Diversity, Equity, and Multicultural Affairs, there hasn’t been a wide range of celebrations or promotions throughout campus.

Ramatou Soumare, IU’s

NAACP president and member of the Black Presidents cabinet, said she felt the bookstore’s lack of a Black Authors section made her feel as if she wasn’t welcome.

Before Black History Month began, IU students like Soumare realized there was a lack of books by Black authors at the bookstore.

However, they thought there would be more books on display to celebrate Black authors during this month.

Unfortunately, this has not been the case.

Soumore didn’t initially go to the IMU to visit the bookstore, but since it’s Black History Month, she thought she would go and see if she could purchase some books

by Black authors. Her visit left her disappointed.

“When I asked the person at the desk if there was a

Black authors section he immediately started stuttering like he was shocked,” Soumare said.

She said he directed her to look around as he went to find someone who she assumed was his supervisor for further direction. When the supervisor arrived, she

pointed to random AfricanAmerican studies books in the history section which made Soumare feel uneasy.

“It’s not just about history—there’s so much more Black authors have to offer than just the trauma we’re used to,” said Soumare.

Making sure there is a

Black authors section in the bookstore during Black History Month is the least IU can do to make students feel welcomed.

A university claiming to be intentional about diversity and inclusion should want to make its marginalized students feel welcomed on campus during a month that is meant to celebrate their history.

“They claim that they’re a diverse school and if you’re claiming you’re a diverse school then you should start doing activities, promoting, and making opportunities for non-black people and people of color to learn,” IU junior Diamond Blevins said.

Blevins continued to talk about the importance of having a Black history section.

She explained having a Black

history section would show there are so much more beautiful stories than the stereotypical images we see every day.

“We are always exposed to different types of books by white authors with white characters,” Blevins said.

“But we don’t really get to see different genre books that show Black people in a different light.”

Black students and other students of color already have a hard time finding places on a predominantly white campus to make them feel welcomed.

IU has a duty to its marginalized students to make them feel like they are a part of the community and the university. It’s also the university’s responsibility to ensure that marginalized students feel seen and heard.

Hattie McDaniel deserves more recognition

By Tiera Howleit thowleit@iu.edu | @officialtiera

Actress Hattie McDaniel is a seemingly forgotten icon and pioneer within the Black community and has been overshadowed in history.

Born in 1893, McDaniel would go on to become the first Black person to ever win an Oscar for acting.

Since making history for all Black people, McDaniel does not receive enough recognition for the contributions she has made to the Black experience.

McDaniel is most commonly known for her role as Mammy in the 1939 film “Gone With the Wind.”

While this leading role was groundbreaking for Black entertainment and acting more specifically, this role was controversial for the Black community.

IU-Purdue University Indianapolis Ph.D. student El-

lise Smith said the Mammy character is a challenging character for some Black people to accept.

“Hattie McDaniel showed what the reality was for Black people at that time,” Smith said. “As many people try to cover it up as just a form of entertainment, these were the roles Black people were allowed to act in.”

The Mammy character played into the stereotypes of Black women during the early to mid 20th century, and the character made it appear as though Black women could not gain success outside of working for white people and caring for their children or homes.

Historically, the Mammy character has appeared to be anti-Black imagery through minstrel shows which were created to mock Black culture.

The Mammy carica-

ture was created to portray Black people as being happy slaves, according to Ferris State University.

Even though this character was not always viewed in a positive light, what cannot be denied is that McDaniel’s portrayal of the Mammy caricature changed the history of Black entertainment.

“She did break barriers and stereotypes as far as getting access into an industry, which at one time we were not even allowed in,” Smith said.

In terms of the struggles which McDaniel faced in her lifetime, her identity was often targeted not only because she was a Black woman, but also because she was plus size. McDaniel did not fit into the societal standards of beauty and acceptance, and her role always revolved around these identities.

“Even in the midst of doing her work, Hattie Mc-

Daniel socially advocated for others in spaces that did not allow people who were Black, women, or fat,” Smith said. “As an intersection of all three, McDaniel continued to show up and break these modes of stereotypes.”

Recently on social media, it has been brought to light McDaniel was not even able to attend the Oscars due to her identity.

McDaniel lived during a time when racism and injustice were at an all-time high. This is why many people overlooked the fact she made history.

McDaniel made history and she deserves to continue to be recognized for her hard work and efforts in the entertainment industry and society as a whole.

“Hattie McDaniel certainly deserves more roses,” Smith said. “Without her efforts, we would not have this piece of history to pull from.”

Smith suggested creating a fellowship, residency, and arts program to continue to honor McDaniel and her

legacy.

Hattie McDaniel deserves her flowers and recognition as a trailblazer.

SEAN’S SYNOPSIS

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

MCCSC schools show racial disparities

Jacobs School of Music professor encourages sexual assault victims to report cases

Sean Gilley (he/him) is a senior studying political science and economics with a certificate in informatics.

Despite Bloomington being one of the more liberal and diverse cities in Indiana, Monroe County schools still fail to adequately address inequities in student future livelihood.

In a report produced by the IU Paul H. O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs, it shows there are still “sharp disparities” within the distribution of low-income and Black and Hispanic students between the local elementary schools. The report determined the elementary schools to be the main area of concern, seeing a drop in their measure of disparity in middle and high schools.

The redrawing of school districts would be the quickest and most effective method to address the inequity levels in Monroe County schools. School districts determine which schools students attend. Much like how redistricting affects the representation and funding particular districts receive, this redrawing of district

lines could have the potential to effectively redistribute the student population if done correctly.

The O’Neill report mentioned many of their sources and interviewees indicated Fairview and Templeton Elementary Schools specifically have less resources to provide to a larger, lowincome population of students.

These disparities correlate with lower average test scores, worsened critical thinking and problem solving skills, lower-wage jobs and racial imbalances in school and later in life, among other factors.

What is the most likely cause of these disparities?

Inequitable school districts.

The O’Neill report concluded redrawing the school districts in a selective, irregular manner would produce the most equitable outcome for students.

The report also suggested instituting monitoring programs to gauge the effectiveness of redrawing as well as equalizing services offered across schools, but these measures alone may not be enough.

Former MCCSC Board

of Trustees Member Jacinda Townsend Gides resigned her seat in January. She was the only Black member of the board and believes robust systemic and structural changes are still needed in order to effectively address these inequities.

“Schools achieved peak integration in 1987 and have become increasingly resegregated in every year since: we are now, in the United States, at Brown vs. Board of Education-era levels,” Townsend Gides wrote in a Facebook post. “MCCSC is no exception.”

Townsend Gides said the disparities in disciplinary action towards Black and white students is also an issue which needs to be addressed. She said 1 in 8 Black students are disciplined per year whereas only 3% of white students see the same disciplinary measures.

So what did the Board of Trustees do with this information? Not much.

According to an Indiana Public Media article, the last time the board addressed redrawing school districts was in a 2019 fireside update and not much has happened

since. The board hasn’t committed to redrawing school districts, and further discussion about the matter has yet to be seen.

This is the greatest threat to continued strife of equity and diversity: the cease in speech and debate.

As long as we keep the dialogue going there at the very least exists hope for a better outcome. But once the conversation dies, so does the possibility of real and good change.

And we cannot risk dropping the conversation about race and inequity in our schools at a time where our state representatives threaten to bar our teachers from teaching the truth about our history.

We must keep the conversation alive and include our board members and elected representatives in the discussion. At the end of the day, they are the body which can institute change.

So we must hold them to the mark regarding student inequities and inform them what changes must be made to effectively address these long-standing injustices. spgilley@iu.edu

ILLUSTRATION BY JULIETTE ALBERT

Editor’s Note: This story includes mentions of sexual violence.

In light of recent articles about sexual assault at Jacobs, I’m writing to share thoughts gained from past experience as a sexual assault victim advocate. I was an advocate for 7 years and worked with the late Associate Dean Pamela Freeman. Freeman was the one who put into place many of the protocols that are followed today in a greatly expanded format. They are based on heartfelt beliefs that people matter, that victimization is not OK, and that kindness and a culture of care are of paramount importance.

IU’s Sexual Assault Crisis Center, Confidential Victim Advocates, and Dean of Students’ employees are highly skilled and compassionate individuals who I believe have the best interests of victims in mind.

To the victims: I know you are in pain and wish I could fix it. Unfortunately, the pain of being a victim is often so deep that none of us can lessen it. Time helps — and reporting and talking to an advocate or counselor can help, but it is a slow process.

Over time, I have learned that the court of public opinion is not the place to find justice. Rather, it is the place for revenge and destruction.

If victims choose to pursue public retribution and blame the institution, then there is little hope for healing and victims end up feeling helpless. I want victims to feel personally empowered and want them to know that the university has people who can help.

The university provides

an even-handed approach to misconduct. In the 7 years that I did this work, advocacy meant supporting the victim in many ways: 1) believing them and providing information about medical, psychological, academic or other support; 2) respecting their decision about proceeding through the campus judicial system or not; 3) hoping that once the outcome is delivered, the victim will be able to move forward. If a student is found to have committed a violation, IU sanctions are imposed, which may include suspension or expulsion. Additionally, most sanctions include counseling, study and remediation.

As a member of the IU teaching community at Jacobs, I know how committed and dedicated our faculty are to students. The faculty are supportive of students and will help in any way possible.

The university has gotten the word out about sexual assault, harassment, and violence. Faculty, staff and administrators receive frequent training, and posters about confidential reporting and ways to stop the cycle of violence appear throughout campus as well as here. The university has added a multitude of resources with staff, counseling and collaborations with campus police.

Victims need to know that it is easy to ask for a meeting with a confidential advocate. If you are in that position, I hope you will turn to an advocate for support.

Sincerely, Constance Cook Teaching Professor, JSoM IU Bloomington

» PROTEST

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 weapons themselves.

Senior Quinton Deppert, IU senior and member of the Bloomington chapter of the Young Democratic Socialists of America, arrived with a megaphone to speak out against conflict between Ukraine and Russia.

“I think when you arm more people, you only create more possibility for conflict,” Deppert said. “It’s this idea that if you’re fighting for peace with violence.”

The 25 other demonstrators at the protest held signs reading “U.S. war machine: Real threat to peace,” and “Disband NATO.” Deppert led the group through multiple chants such as “No wars, no lies, no missiles in our skies.”

Biden said on Feb. 13 that he had no intentions of deploying troops to Ukraine, saying war between the two global powers would have much larger implications.

“That's a world war when Americans and Russia start shooting at one another,” Biden said.

While high-ranking White House officials made public demands for peace between the two countries, Deppert and other demonstrators are worried about American involvement. The group referenced instances of government-sanctioned U.S. violence in other countries such as Iraq and Afghanistan.

Deppert said media reports have placed too much emphasis on claims from the American government that Russian invasion is imminent, leading to more fear in the U.S. and for American allies.

Bloomington resident Keegan Gulick came to the demonstration on his bike, just as the group started to form.

“I’m against war in general,” he said. “I think both

sides need to de-escalate.”

Keegan agreed major media outlets in the U.S. offer a Western-centric approach, making it difficult for others to understand how much of a role the U.S. plays in the conflict, he said.

Sunday’s demonstration was organized by ANSWER Indiana, a chapter of the ANSWER Coalition, which is an anti-war movement founded in 2001 following the Sept. 11 attacks.

IU sophomores and ANSWER members, Ashley Culbertson and Luke Kubehl, read prepared statements in favor of disbanding NATO and stronger efforts for peace within American diplomacy.

Bloomington resident Pat Saling led the group in song toward the end of the demonstration.

“Now is the time for the people to say no to new war or sanctions against Russia,” Saling said.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Indiana can’t get ‘over the hump,’ blows late lead

By Tristan Jackson tripjack@iu.edu | @Trist_Jackson

Indiana men’s basketball led 63-59 against No. 22 Ohio State with 2:47 left to play Monday night in Columbus, Ohio. The team, which came into the game in the midst of a four-game losing streak, had clawed its way back from a 50-39 deficit and looked to be in control.

For the second-straight game, the Hoosiers collapsed down the stretch.

The Buckeyes only scored 4 points in the final 2:47, but that reality was offset by the fact the Hoosiers went 0-3 from the field in that time.

The game went to overtime, and the Buckeyes dominated in the extra period, outscoring the Hoosiers 17-6 and ending the game on a 10-0 run.

Ohio State freshman guard Malaki Branham served as Indiana’s kryptonite Monday, putting up a game-high 27 points and scoring 17 combined in the second half and overtime. Branham made two free throws to cut Indiana’s lead to 2 points with 56 seconds left to play in regulation. With six seconds left, he found junior forward E.J. Liddell wide open in the paint for a dunk to even the score. “(Branham) made some tough shots, and we also made some mistakes guarding him, letting him get to his right hand,” senior guard Parker Stewart said. “I take the blame for that because I guarded him most of the night.”

While Indiana played solid defense for most of the

last possession of regulation, junior forward Trayce Jackson-Davis, who struggled offensively after scoring 10 points in the first half, lost Liddell on the baseline as he went unimpeded to the basket once Branham dished him the ball.

“If they’re going to make a shot to tie the ball game, it really can’t be a layup, and that’s what happened,” head coach Mike Woodson said after the game.

Liddell, Ohio State’s leading scorer this season, leaned on Branham to carry the load, but after a poor 3-12 shooting effort when he faced Indiana earlier this season in Bloomington, Liddell put up 16 points himself Monday night. He scored 11 points in the second half and overtime combined after a slow 2-7 start from the field in the first half.

Indiana sophomore guards Trey Galloway and Khrisitan Lander missed the game with injuries, which seemed to add pressure to starting point guard senior Xavier Johnson. While Johnson scored 8 points on 2-5 shooting and 4-4 shooting at the free-throw line in the second half, he was careless in the first half and turned the ball over five times in the first 10 minutes of the game.

“I can’t fault Xavier,” Woodson said. “He was fighting pretty much the whole game.”

Johnson finished with a team-high 16 points while going a perfect 10-10 from the free-throw line.

Woodson has harped on getting Indiana “over the hump” after almost every loss this season, and his assessment was correct when

he said Indiana has been in every game this season and had an opportunity to win all of them before its game with Ohio State. Monday’s game was no different.

“I wish I had the magic pill to get them over the hump right now,” Woodson said. “We’re right there.

I can’t fault effort. They played hard tonight and got back in it, got back in it and

put ourselves in a great position, but again, in winning close games you have to do everything right.”

The issue for the Hoosiers is that coming close to winning doesn’t help the team’s record, which now sits at 16-10. The other side of the hump Woodson alludes to is still uncharted territory for this team. Three weeks ago, the Hoosiers looked like

a lock into the NCAA Tournament. Five straight losses later, they might be on the outside looking in.

“This team is not quitting,” Woodson said. “If you think that, then you’re watching the wrong game tonight. These guys came, and they competed.”

While its postseason hopes look bleak, Indiana still has four games left on

the schedule to right the ship heading into Big Ten Tournament play. The team’s next game is at 7 p.m. Thursday at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall against Maryland, the last team it beat before its five-game skid began.

“We don’t want to go down the final stretch and keep losing games,” Johnson said. “The last four we gotta win.”

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Indiana suffers foul trouble, cold offense in 88-82 loss

By Amanda Foster amakfost@iu.edu | @amandafoster_15

After its 96-91 loss to Iowa on Saturday, Indiana women’s basketball dropped to No. 10 in the AP Top 25. Iowa moved up one spot to No. 21.

The two teams faced off again Monday night, each looking to prove themselves in different ways. Indiana wanted a comeback win.

Iowa wanted to get another top-10 upset. Only one team got what it wanted, and it wasn’t Indiana.

Iowa beat Indiana 88-82 Monday night at CarverHawkeye Arena in Iowa City, Iowa, to hand Indiana its third loss in four games.

“It sucks, obviously,” senior guard Grace Berger said. “Losing the past three out of four games, it sucks.”

In what was a considerably more competitive and energetic showing from the Hoosiers, they controlled the lead for almost 26 minutes of game time and entered halftime leading 52-41. However, the Hoosiers couldn’t capitalize off a 29-point second quarter and were outscored 21-14

and 26-16 in the third and fourth quarters, respectively.

In addition to a sloweddown offense, Indiana quickly ran into foul trouble as the clock ran down. Entering the fourth quarter, junior forward Mackenzie Holmes and graduate student guard Nicole CardañoHillary both had three personal fouls. Sophomore forward Kiandra Browne had four. All three fouled out.

“It made it tough for us to get into a flow,” Holmes said. “That made a big difference in the momentum of the game. But we have to learn to play through that.”

Browne and Holmes struggled against Iowa’s senior forward and center Monika Czinano, who led all scoring with 31 points.

She scored 13 of Iowa’s 26 fourth-quarter points, and she was a vital factor in both Indiana forwards fouling out.

“The fact that she can get down, she can get you so deep, is a problem inside the halo,” head coach Teri Moren said of Czinano.

“There’s not a whole lot you can do because of her

length and how accurate she is at the rim.”

Cardaño-Hillary, in turn, struggled to guard sophomore guard Caitlin Clark as the game continued as well. The two were equally aggressive with each other, both recording four fouls up until midway through the fourth quarter. CardañoHillary eventually fouled out in an attempt to regain possession of the ball.

“Nikki did a great job,”

Moren said. “(Caitlin) is able to initiate a lot of contact, and because of that Nikki found herself in foul trouble.”

Indiana finished with 27 personal fouls to Iowa’s 19.

“The foul count tonight was a problem for us,” head coach Teri Moren said. “For Caitlin Clark to be able to initiate 11 fouls is crazy.

This game is physical, we’re physical, the game was physical, but it just seemed

like the foul count got a little out of whack.”

Indiana shot 46% from field goal range and 25% from beyond the arc, aided by three 3-pointers from sophomore guard Chloe Moore-McNeil. However, Clark had a more classic performance Monday night, surpassing her scoring average with 29 points.

Both teams were able to adjust from Saturday’s game in different ways,

despite the less-than 48hour time margin between the two games. Moren said Holmes has not even been able to meet with the strength and conditioning coach since returning to the floor due to the Hoosiers’ busy schedule.

“We were just watching a lot of film (of ) the first game,” Berger said. “(We were able to) get on the court a little bit, work on a lot of things defensively and some things offensively. But it was a lot of film.”

Indiana’s loss moves the team to fifth place in the Big Ten standings with an 11-4 record. The top team in the Big Ten is currently Michigan with a 12-3 record. In the final week of regularseason play, the standings change with every game played, and a regular-season champion likely won’t be determined until Sunday.

Indiana’s final game of the regular season is scheduled for 8 p.m. Friday at College Park, Maryland, against No. 13 Maryland.

Maryland is currently third in the Big Ten with a 12-4 record.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

COLUMN: Indiana collapses toward five-game losing streak, misses backcourt support against Ohio State

By Da’Qwan Dockery dadocker@iu.edu | @ddockery35

It does not matter how many points Indiana men’s basketball lost by Monday night, but what does matter is how it lost. The Hoosiers failed to execute in regulation and overtime to close out No. 22 Ohio State for what could’ve been its second win against the Buckeyes this season.

Indiana’s adversity this season is weighing down on its chances of participating in the NCAA’s March Madness postseason tournament. The unfortunate injuries of senior guard Rob Phinisee and sophomore guards Trey Galloway and Khristian Lander going into the postseason play a significant role in the team’s lack of confidence, which it had plenty of early on in the season.

After losing four straight games before Monday, Indiana was determined to salvage its drought. The Hoosiers started how they always begin: with fast-paced ball movement, inside domination and high energy on defense.

Senior guard Xavier Johnson led Indiana with 16 points, three rebounds, and four assists in Monday night’s loss before fouling out in overtime. However, Johnson seemingly struggled with running the point guard position, making five costly turnovers in the first half in a game where both teams were shaky with the ball.

With Indiana’s lack of backcourt power, Johnson shot 3-12 from the field, and senior guard Miller Kopp’s

shooting slump continued.

Kopp shot 2-8 from the field while going 1-5 from 3-point land in his 31 minutes of play.

The production from senior guard Parker Stewart kept Indiana above water, scoring 8 of his 11 points in the first half by hitting backto-back, game-changing 3-pointers to claim Indiana’s first lead of the game with seven minutes left in the first half.

After Stewart’s first substitution out of the game, Indiana’s offense had no answer for Ohio State’s defense.

However, the big-man duo of junior forward Trayce Jackson-Davis and senior forward Race Thompson did what they do best, putting Indiana on their backs to push themselves out of their scoring drought.

Both Jackson-Davis and Thompson put their hard hats on once again, each scoring 13 points and pulling down nine rebounds to dominate the paint. After absorbing the defense’s attention, the duo also spread the floor enough to help their teammates receive open shots.

In overtime, Ohio State took complete control after Indiana’s persistent 14-2 scoring run before the end of the second half. Ohio State graduate guard Jamari Wheeler hit a gamechanging 3-pointer with just under three minutes left, while the production from freshman guard Malaki Branham came through when it counted the most.

Branham, the freshman star, poured in 27 points on an efficient 9-13 night from

the field. Branham nailed a perfect 8-8 free throws, considering how much Indiana lacked at the free-throw line Monday against Ohio State.

In Indiana’s last meeting against Ohio State, the team did an excellent job containing junior forward E.J. Lid-

dell to 13 points, enough for him not to take over. Once again, Indiana did its best to stop Liddell on Monday, but he could not remain tamed as he finished with 16 points, seven rebounds and two assists in the overtime victory of vengeance.

Indiana continues to prove my point every single game this season: the team does not know how to close out games. That was why Indiana lost Monday night: the perimeter defense, missed free throws and costly turnovers. Simple as

that.

The five-player suspension against Northwestern back on Feb. 8 caused Indiana’s drought. Now it is paying the price, potentially kissing its chance of competing in the NCAA Tournament goodbye.

Record-setting fourth quarter not enough in loss to Iowa

By Amanda Foster amakfost@iu.edu | @amandafoster_15

A fourth quarter that took over 40 minutes. A programhigh 42 points. Five players in double figures. And in the end, a 96-91 loss.

No. 5 Indiana women’s basketball entered the fourth quarter down 71-49 in its Saturday matchup with No. 22 Iowa, who held all the momentum on both ends of the court. Indiana struggled in the first three quarters to find great looks and stop Iowa’s offense and defense.

Brief Hoosier scoring runs surfaced in the third quarter, but the 6- and 8-point runs weren’t enough to bring Indiana within 15 points of Iowa’s lead. For the success Indiana did have, Iowa had a better answer, and its largest lead stood at 24 points with 44 seconds left in the third quarter.

Then, something changed in the fourth quarter.

Junior forward Mackenzie Holmes immediately started the fourth-quarter scoring with a layup, which was immediately followed by back-to-back 3-pointers from senior guard Grace Berger and sophomore

guard Chloe Moore-McNeil.

Berger went on to lead the Hoosiers in the fourth-quarter scoring with 14 points, shooting 6-9 from the field and 2-5 from beyond the arc.

The Hoosiers scored 42 points in the fourth quarter, marking a new programhigh for points scored in a single quarter. Those 42 points were more than the Hoosiers scored in the first half, and 22 of their 44 points in the paint also came in the fourth quarter.

“The team that showed up in the fourth — a little bit in the third, a little bit in the second — was the team that I thought was going to show up for most of the game,” head coach Teri Moren said.

Indiana’s energy was different — a kind not seen since the team returned from its two-week COVID-19 break.

“We knew we had one more quarter to give everything we had, and that’s what we did,” graduate student guard Ali Patberg said.

“We just left everything else we had out on the floor. It’s frustrating because we could have done that earlier.

The crowd of 7,052 Hoosier fans in Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall spurred In-

diana’s energy, which had only been seen in flashes throughout the first three quarters. The fourth quarter lasted over 40 minutes due to fouls, free throws, replay reviews, timeouts and any other time-stopping occurrence possible in a basketball game.

Though it seemed like every time the Hoosiers scored, the Hawkeyes were able respond, the Hoosiers were able to shrink the Hawkeyes’ lead to under 15 points with 1:22 left on the clock. Senior forward Aleksa Gulbe scored three free throws with 12 seconds left and brought the

Hoosiers within four points of Iowa’s lead.

But there wasn’t enough time left. Iowa walked away with an upset win, handing Indiana its first at-home conference loss.

“I love the fact that we fought back the way we did,” head coach Teri Moren said.

“That was who we are. We’ve seen that before. But today we just ran out of time.”

Indiana struggled against Iowa’s guard play, especially sophomore guard Caitlin Clark. Indiana chose to heavily guard Clark, holding her to 2 points in the first half, but in turn sacrificed easy baskets to other prolific Iowa scorers. Clark ultimately ended with 18 points.

Gulbe matched up with Iowa senior forward and center Monica Czinano, who scored 22 points to lead the Hawkeyes in scoring. Gulbe said the Hoosiers settled for jump shots rather than facing Czinano’s defense, which hurt them in the beginning of the game. “(We) didn’t really attack to the basket,” Gulbe said.

“Once we started doing that, she picked up a foul here and there and by the end of the game she couldn’t be as aggressive.”

Indiana’s in-game adjustments and resurgent energy, while late to the punch, have the potential to carry over into Monday, when Indiana and Iowa will have a rematch in Iowa City, Iowa. The game is set to tip off at 8 p.m. and will be broadcast on the Big Ten Network.

Indiana finishes third in Big Ten Championships

By Garrett Newman ganewman@iu.edu | @GarrettNewman20

No. 15 Indiana women’s swim and dive team returned to action Saturday evening for the Big Ten Championships at Soderholm Family Aquatic Center in Madison, Wisconsin. Riding a wave of confidence following wins against Purdue and University of Evansville to end January, Indiana took third place at the meet with a team score of 1100, only falling behind Michigan and Ohio State.

Michigan finished with a score of 1185, and Ohio State took home the Big Ten Championship with a score of 1303.

Head coach Ray Looze said he was thrilled with the way his team performed.

“The girls dug deep to hold off Wisconsin and finish third in the conference,” Looze said. “I’m proud of the way the girls conducted themselves.”

The Hoosiers will return to Bloomington with two first-time Big Ten Champions.

Sophomore diver Tarrin Gilliland won the platform dive, posting a career best score of 382.80 and becoming an NCAA Zone Qualifier.

Freshman Anna Peplowski swims in the women’s 200-yard fly race Jan. 28, 2022, at the Counsilman Billingsley Aquatic Center. Indiana will compete in the NCAA Zone C Diving Championships on March 7-9 in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Crawford won the 200 breaststroke with a career best time of 2:06.86. Freshman swimmer Anna Peplowski narrowly missed becoming a champion, finishing second in the 200 backstroke with a time of 1:53.30.

Indiana’s high finish at the competition has Looze excit-

ed about next year’s team.

“I’m super excited about this freshman class,” Looze said. “We don’t lose anybody from this team, so hopefully with the incoming freshman, we can be a real force.”

Peplowski, one of the young faces to whom Looze was referring to, was recently

named the Big Ten Freshman of the Year. Anna’s older sister Noelle is also on the team and has been a key contributor all season for the Hoosiers, specializing in freestyle.

Looze commended Anna Peplowski’s achievements after the meet.

“Anna Peplowski deserv-

edly won Big Ten Freshman of the Year,” Looze said. “They picked the right person.”

Peplowski wasn’t the only Hoosier to bring home an award last week, as senior diver Kayla Luarde was named Indiana’s Big Ten Sportsmanship award recipient earlier this week as well.

With the Big Ten Championships behind them and the season waning to a close, Indiana will return to the pool on March 7 for the NCAA Zone Championships in diving and then finally the combined NCAA Swim and Dive Championships on March 16.

MEN’S TRACK AND FIELD

Indiana ends regular season in record-breaking fashion

By Matthew Press mtpress@iu.edu | @MatthewPress23

After coming into the weekend ranked No. 24 in the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association rating index, Indiana men’s track and field lived up to expectations in Saturday’s Alex Wilson Invitational in South Bend, Indiana.

The Hoosiers sent a small group of primarily middledistance runners and a pair of throwers to the meet. The first track event, the distance medley relay, kicked off a record-breaking day for several Hoosiers.

Indiana’s team in the distance medley relay consisted of freshman Camden Marshall in the 1200-meter leg, graduate student Kenny Benton in the 400-meter leg, sophomore Parker Raymond in the 800-meter leg and graduate student Ben Veatch anchoring the mile leg.

The group’s third-place time of 9:22.78 garnered

the seventh-fastest time in NCAA history and also set a new program and Big Ten record. Both Benton’s

46-second 400-meter leg and Veatch’s 3:53.9 mile were personal bests. Additionally, Benton and Veatch’s times in

their respective legs overtook those of the University of Oregon’s previous NCAA record-holding distance med-

ley relay times set last year by a few seconds.

Veatch said his experience helps eliminate the noise from outside voices when it comes to expectations.

“This being my sixth year, I’ve been around the block a couple of times,” Veatch said.

“The momentum is certainly building and I have high expectations for myself.”

In the field events, freshman Sean Mockler continued the Hoosiers’ successful day in the weight throw.

Mockler’s meet-winning mark of 21.26 meters was also a personal record and second-best in program history. To conclude the field events, sophomore Adam Strouf took fifth in the shot put with a mark of 17.14 meters.

Head coach Ron Helmer said he was satisfied overall with Indiana’s performance.

“The primary goal was to get both of those distance medleys qualified,” Helmer said. “We got done what we

wanted to do here today, and I think that will give us momentum heading into next week.”

Back on the track, senior Jake Gebhardt took first place in the mile run with a personal best time of 4:03.97.

Senior Dustin Horter finished in fourth with a time of 4:05.99.

The 800-meter race wrapped up Saturday’s meet.

Junior Nick Couyoumjian ran a personal season-best time of 1:50.27, which was 11th overall in the meet.

Moving into next week, Veatch said that the Hoosiers’ workload will be relatively light.

“There’s no magic formula and there’s no magic workout,” Veatch said. “All the hay is in the barn already.”

The Hoosiers will travel to the Spire Institute in Geneva, Ohio, to compete in the Big Ten Championships on Friday and Saturday. The meet kicks off at 10:50 a.m. Friday with streaming available on Big Ten Network+.

BASEBALL

Indiana throws itself into winless season-opening series

By Matthew Byrne matbyrne@iu.edu | @MatthewByrne1

Indiana baseball fell in a three-game sweep on the road against Clemson University in its opening series of the season this past weekend. Clemson outscored Indiana 33-8, highlighted by its 19-4 victory in game two on Saturday to clinch the series with one game in hand.

More than a third of Clemson’s 33 combined runs came freely from Indiana pitchers’ mistakes. The Hoosiers hindered themselves on the mound by allowing walks, hitting batters and throwing wild pitches with the bases loaded.

Eight walks, four wild pitches and one hit batter in Indiana’s series-opening 9-0 shutout loss on Friday put numerous Clemson base runners in scoring position who eventually reached home plate.

Indiana junior starter John Modugno hit and walked one batter in the fourth inning and later made a fielding error, al-

lowing one run to score. Soon after, a wild pitch and another walk by Modugno set up Clemson to score its second run of the fourth inning on a sacrifice fly.

Clemson worked less to score more in the second game. The Tigers scored 10 of their runs on Saturday from walks, hit-batters and wild pitches with the bases loaded. In the sixth inning alone, Clemson scored seven runs with only two hits.

Junior starter Jack Perkins had a solid start for the Hoosiers, allowing three earned runs and striking out a career-high eight batters in 3 2/3 innings. However, Clemson pounced on Indiana’s bullpen as the relievers gave up 14 earned runs after Perkins’ exit. Two runs were charged to Perkins’ earned run average after he left the game with two Clemson base runners in scoring position.

“We feel good about where we’re at with the bullpen,” head coach Jeff Mercer said at media availability Wednesday ahead of the series.

The IU Baseball team salutes the friends and family in attendance for the last home game of the season on May 24, 2021. Indiana lost to Clemson 5-4 on Feb. 20, 2022, in Clemson, South Carolina.

Senior Bradley Brehmer and graduate Joe Moran, two upperclassmen transfers, pitched back-to-back innings in relief for Indiana and allowed 10 earned runs on four hits, walked nine

Clemson batters and hit three combined.

Indiana pitchers walked 36 Tigers and hit eight batters combined throughout the weekend. Almost half of the walks came in Saturday’s loss.

Junior right-handed pitcher Nathan Stahl made his first career start for the Hoosiers on Sunday and pitched four innings, allowing three earned runs and walking four.

One of Stahl’s walks came in the bottom of the third inning before Clemson sophomore Caden Grice hit a 413foot home run to right field.

The additional base runner provided Clemson with an extra run.

Indiana senior reliever Braydon Tucker entered the game in the seventh inning and walked in a run with the bases loaded to help Clemson tie the game 4-4. Clemson ultimately won in extra innings 5-4 on a walk-off sacrifice fly to secure the series sweep.

In a game that came down to the final pitches, the two additional free runs Indiana gave up significantly affected Sunday’s outcome.

With Clemson’s two-run home run and bases-loaded walk in the seventh inning removed from the equation, a win in the series finale would have been more likely for Indiana.

Indiana will travel to Round Rock, Texas for the Karbach Round Rock classic from Friday to Sunday.

Musicians perform at Cosmic Songwriter’s Club

By Taylor Satoski tsatoski@iu.edu | @taylorsatoski

Cosmic Songwriter’s Club, a diverse and inclusive organization, features local musicians performing original material and brings songwriters together. Their fourth event is at 7 p.m. on March 2 at The Orbit Room.

Co-founders Pablo Fuentes and Shaun McDermott are both songwriters and guitar players. They formed aspects of the club from their own experiences playing in venues such as The Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, Tennessee.

Fuentes, who also goes by the stage name Oso Blues, plays blues with folk and country influences.

McDermott plays a mix of Americana, blues, folk, rock and fingerstyle guitar.

McDermott often performs with Jim Stowers, a local musician, in their duo act, the Monon Troubadours.

The event is held at The Orbit Room usually on the first Wednesday of every month, Fuentes said. Although the event’s performers most often play guitar, they said they welcome every genre. Fuentes and McDermott want the event to be a beacon for artists to share their music with an appreciative audience.

“We feel there’s incredible constructive positive energy of music here in Bloomington,” Fuentes said.

“We want to help express that energy through events like the Cosmic Songwriter’s Club.”

Individual musicians and duos can apply on the Cosmic Songwriter’s Club website.

For each event, Fuentes and McDermott will pair a musician or duo with another artist.

At each event, multiple pairs of artists perform for about 30 minutes each. The musicians take turns performing three songs each and giving each other feed-

back. Songwriters are able to explain the meaning behind their songs.

“Pablo and I both have aspirations to enable Cosmic Songwriter to support songwriters and the songwriting process to facilitate collaboration,” McDermott said.

Fuentes and McDermott also write new songs to perform each month. They said unlike an open mic, this event involves a listening environment. The audience is able to experience the performances and connect with the musicians as they explain the meaning behind their art-

work.

They want to bring different parts of the Bloomington community together, Fuentes said. They want to work with the Jacobs School of Music, music fans and poets. They said they also hope to expand and include songwriters from areas outside of Bloomington.

“This is an opportunity to practice a craft and connect with other people who care about that,” Fuentes said.

McDermott said they want to make Bloomington a live music destination for the whole state.

Fuentes and McDermott hope to showcase artists at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater in the fall and work with IU’s Arts and Humanities Council in the spring. Fuentes said Mike McAfee, Visit Bloomington executive director, wants to expand the organization into a festival for songwriters.

Local musician Devin Brown performed three

original songs at the January event. He grew up with songwriters in his family and started expressing himself through songwriting as a teenager, Brown said.

Brown’s set consisted of “Takers,” a song about victimization, “Shawnee Hills,” a memoir about a place he used to live and “Only the Devil Will Know,” a song about the gumption involved with moonshining in the mountains.

He said the coordination of Cosmic Songwriter’s Club allows for a welcoming experience where artists can connect with their audience.

“They’ve picked a good formula for getting people to feel like they’re a part of something together,” Brown said.

The Orbit Room is open to people 21 years old and older. Masks are required in addition to either a COVID-19 vaccination record or a negative COVID-19 test.

Local DJ creates safe, fun queer spaces Student-led theater organization to perform Feb. 24-26

By Taylor Satoski

tsatoski@iu.edu | @taylorsatoski

Madison True started out curating playlists for her friends, fundraising events and DJ-ing on her front porch. Now known as DJ MADDØG, she aims to represent voices through her music.

DJ MADDØG said she was influenced by many different music genres growing up because she moved around a lot. This is represented in the music she plays, and she said she caters to her audience based on their musical preferences.

“If I can help facilitate or create an environment where people feel free enough to laugh and smile and dance and wear what they want and be who they want, that’s really therapeutic to me,” she said.

DJ MADDØG said she grew up in a household that constantly used music as a form of entertainment. Her earliest memory of music is dancing with her sister in their living room.

After she started creating playlists for fundraisers, artists would ask her to open for their shows, and venues started asking her if she wanted her own show.

DJ MADDØG has also produced mixes for drag performers. She performed with Kesha and multiple drag queens on Kesha’s Weird & Wonderful Rainbow Ride Cruise in 2019. She also performed internationally in London.

“A lot of bars cater to a specific crowd,” DJ MADDØG said. “I think

DJ MADDØG spent six months studying music production and sound engineering at Point Blank Music School in London.

She said she would love to someday own a record label, working exclusively with female, transgender, and non-binary producers.

She is known to foster safe spaces for queer people to feel free to be themselves, Janae Cummings, chair of the board of directors for Bloomington PRIDE and IU-Bloomington brand marketing leader, said.

Cummings said DJ MADDØG’s sets are representative of voices in every genre and age and that the wide variety of music appeals to everyone in the audience.

DJ MADDØG has performed at Pridefest every year since 2016. Cummings said her main role is to DJ Pridefest’s large drag shows.

In 2020, Pridefest moved virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

University Players, a student-led theater organization, will perform “Dark Play or Stories for Boys” Feb. 24-26. A performance space has not been chosen yet.

Performances will be held at 7:30 p.m. with an additional 11 p.m. showing on Feb. 25.

This show, written by Carlos Murillo, focuses on a boy named Nick who creates many fictional identities online. Little does Nick know that these online personas will get him stuck in a battle of love, obsession and betrayal.

“My favorite part of this process has been exploring the wide variety of choices that Carlos Murillo made available with Nick,” senior Paully Crumpacker, who plays Nick, said.

Crumpacker also said

people need to “strap in for the wild ride” this show takes audiences on.

Kate Schnetzer, University Players director and senior, said this show is different from other shows she has worked on in the past.

“Something that is different about this show compared to others I have worked on is that it deals with a lot of deceit and manipulation,” Schnetzer said.

To combat this, Schnetzer said all the actors must be able to trust each other in what she describes as their “collaborative space.”

This show touches on the struggle recent generations have had transitioning into adulthood with the recent challenge of the internet.

Tickets are free and can be purchased on the University Players’ website starting next week.
