AAAMC to offer film series

Last year, IU’s Archives of African American Music and Culture, AAAMC, was hard at work crafting a fiveepisode documentary series about the lives and work of Black people in the music industry, in a partnership with the Office of the Provost.

The first episode of the series, “AAAMC Speaks,” will premiere on IU’s YouTube channel on Feb. 12th following an interview between Dr. Tyron Cooper, the host and executive producer of the series, and Eddie Gilreath, a mainstay in the industry with a more than 50year career.

The series is co-directed

by Ethan Gill and Haley Semian, members of the Office of the Provost’s multimedia team.

“AAAMC Speaks, a documentary series that interviews trailblazers in the Black performance community,” said Office of the Provost multimedia intern Isabel Nieves. “Each episode is dedicated to a specific person, and we kind of really bring alive the archives at AAAMC.” Through its monthly episodes, the series will showcase decades worth of Black resistance and Black joy through music, and explores some of the personal and untold stories from these musicians and industry leaders.

Semian said throughout the process of putting this series together, she was most excited to learn about these people's lives.

“There’s so much there, and these are just such important stories to share,” Semian said. “I’m excited to see people’s reaction to it because I really hope that they find that joy, and the joy of discovery as I did through this.”

For Nieves, the most exciting part about this series is connecting viewers with the subjects of the archives at AAAMC, who will discuss and explain the archival ma-

Abolfazl Alipour, 29, is a neurosceience and psychology Ph.D student at IU. Alipour is a supporter of the Indiana Graduate Workers Coalition who also joined the 2021 Committee for Fee Review.

IU advisory committee or workers coalition?

A graduate student says he was forced to choose.

By Phyllis Cha cha1@iu.edu | @phyllischa

Abolfazl Alipour, a neuroscience and psychology Ph.D. student and supporter of the Indiana Graduate Workers Coalition, said he was hoping to represent graduate students when he joined the Committee for Fee Review this year. Alipour said he wanted to discuss how fees were allocated with other graduate students, since they were the ones who had to pay them.

The Committee for Fee Review is a student-led committee that makes recommendations to IU Provost Lauren Robel about how to allocate the student activity fee, health fee and transportation fee, IU spokesperson Chuck Carney said in an email. The recommendations are then passed onto the IU president and, lastly, to the IU Board of Trustees, which

implements fee changes, he said.

Master's student Cole Nelson, an organizer for the Indiana Graduate Workers Coalition, said mandatory fees cost over a thousand dollars each year and are drawn from already low stipends of graduate workers.

For the 2020-21 academic year, graduate students taking more than six credits pay a mandatory fee of $703.19 each semester, or about $1400 total. In January, IGWC started a petition to boycott mandatory fees.

Nelson said the petition has more than 700 signatures.

Alipour signed this petition and has supported the fight to improve conditions for graduate workers on IU’s campus. Alipour said when executive members on the committee found out about his affiliation with IGWC, they asked him to choose between the committee and coalition.

Alipour said it was frustrating to have to choose between the coalition, whose goal is to improve his working conditions, and a committee that would give graduate students representation in IU’s decision-making processes.

In an email to the Indiana Daily Student, the student co-chairs of the committee, junior Rachel Aranyi and Maurer law student Dakota Coates, denied asking Alipour to choose and said other students were asked about potential conflicts of interest.

They said Alipour was not removed from the committee due to his affiliation with IGWC, and that he left after “multiple attempts to try and find a potential compromise” addressing his conflict of interest.

MEN'S BASKETBALL

IU sweeps No. 8 Iowa off last-second shot

By Grace Ybarra gnybarra@iu.edu | @gnybarra

As the game clock ticked down with the score tied at 65, sophomore guard Armaan Franklin drained a step back jumper from the left wing with just 1.6 seconds left.

“That’s the guy we wanted to get the ball to,” IU head coach Archie Miller said. “He’s our best guy, most physical guy.”

The IU men’s basketball team avoided its fifth overtime of the season and defeated No. 8 Iowa 67-65 after trailing by as much as 13 points Sunday. The Hoosiers have now swept the Hawkeyes on the season after upsetting them 81-69 on the road on Jan. 21.

Although it was Franklin’s shot that gave the Hoosiers the lead, Miller said junior guard Rob Phinisee’s 3-pointer at the 1:39 mark was more important. For the first 35 minutes of the game, Phinisee and Franklin shot a combined 1-23 from the field.

But Phinisee stepped up to hit that 3-pointer and bring the game to a tie at 61. Then, 98 seconds later, Franklin finished off the

Owen Busey, 23, was reported missing from his home in the Park Ridge East neighborhood of Bloomington on Monday.

Busey is a white man with medium length curly brown hair and hazel eyes. He is 5’8” and approximately 130 pounds.

He was last seen wearing white athletic shoes, black pants and a light jacket, making him underdressed for the current weather, according to a Thursday press release from the Busey family.

According to the press release, Busey was seen leaving his home at 1 a.m. Monday, and his last reported sighting was around 2:30 p.m. Tuesday walking along South Shore Drive near Lake Lemon.

Busey is considered at risk because of his unsuited clothing and mental state, according to the press release.

Anyone who sees Busey should immediately call their local law enforcement agency and be prepared to provide his current location and clothing description.

Those with information about the investigation should call the nonemergency Bloomington police line at 812-3394477.

Health official: Wear masks after vaccination

By David Wolfe Bender benderd@iu.edu | @dbenderpt

As COVID-19 vaccinations continue in Monroe County, the county’s top health official is warning residents that masking and social distancing are still necessary until a substantial portion of the population has been vaccinated.

According to Indiana’s vaccine dashboard, 5,000 people have received both doses of their COVID-19 vaccine in Monroe County.

More than 216,000 people have been fully vaccinated in Indiana as of Feb. 7. But even these people should still wear a mask, said Monroe County Health Department administrator Penny Caudill.

“Everybody needs to wear a mask, even if they’ve been vaccinated or recovered, until we really reach the point where we can say that a good number of people have been vaccinated and that we’re seeing low community spread,” Caudill said.

“There’s still the potential

you could become infected.”

Caudill emphasized that no vaccine is 100% effective.

Both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines have high efficacy rates, which is one metric to determine how effective a vaccine is. However, a vaccinated resident who comes into contact with the virus may still be able to spread it, Caudill said. The vaccine does not necessarily stop all spread immediately, but it makes the virus less lethal if one were to get it, Caudill said.

“You may not get very sick,” she said. “We see that with influenza. For example, you might get the flu. But the chances that you’ll be in the hospital or die from it are drastically reduced.”

Dr. Anthony Fauci, President Joe Biden’s chief medical adviser, said last week that layering two masks on top of each other is a common sense practice. The CDC said Wednesday it is studying whether two masks can help prevent COVID-19 spread.

While double masking may have some benefit, Caudill said it is more important that people are wearing their masks correctly.

“Everybody needs to wear a mask, and they need to wear it correctly,” she said. “You could wear two or three masks. If they’re not on right, it doesn’t do you any good.”

Caudill said the public’s first priority should be wearing a mask that fits properly and assuring those masks are worn properly. The CDC rec-

ommends masks fit snugly around the sides of your face and cover your nose and mouth. From there, double masking may be smart for those who aren’t wearing masks that have filters or thick layers. If a mask allows for air to pass through, for example, double masking may be a practical step.

At the county’s vaccine sites, Caudill said the health department requires workers to wear a surgical mask, but workers can choose to wear another mask on top.

Members of the IU Muslim Student Association pray in a room in the Indiana Memorial Union. The MSA currently uses the Solarium in the IMU for weekly prayer.

MSA says campus prayer spaces are inadequate

By Avraham Forrest ahforres@iu.edu | @Avraham_Forrest

IU’s current prayer rooms for Muslim students do not provide consistent access to enough space without scheduling conflicts, members of IU’s Muslim Student Association told the Indiana Daily Student.

The MSA is hoping for a spacious, clean and accessible room with enough space for 30 to 50 people that is free from conflicting reservations from other parties, MSA Religious Chair Romael Khan said.

The MSA currently uses the Solarium in the Indiana Memorial Union for weekly prayer and provides access to some Muslim students on the IMU’s fourth floor, IU junior and MSA President Miriam Haque said.

IU is aware of the need for a prayer space for Muslim students and is investigating more permanent solutions but could not give any examples of potential spaces, IU spokesperson Chuck Carney said.

IUSG is in the process of establishing an interfaith prayer and meditation room for religious communities on campus, IU Student Body President Rachel Aranyi said. She expects the space to be ready by the fall 2021 semester.

Many Muslim students pray five times each day and often do not have the time to return to their dorms or homes to pray between classes, Haque said.

“Having a central space to be able to pray — that’s easily accessible, as well —

is really important for us,” she said.

For daily prayer, the MSA pays for a room in the IMU on the fourth floor, MSA Vice President Sufyan Zackariya, said. Overcrowding in the room has not been an issue recently since many students are studying online due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Haque said.

Around four people can use the room at once per IU’s COVID-19 safety policies, and there is less space to socially distance because the room is also used to store supplies, Haque said.

The room requires passcodes for access and Student Activities Tower staff encouraged the MSA to limit sharing those codes to prevent too many people using the room and increasing the risk of spreading COVID-19, Haque said.

Many clubs have moved to online meetings, so getting the room every Friday has not been difficult, Zackariya, said. However, as inperson meetings resume, Zackariya expects to run into scheduling conflicts.

Other spaces are not able to accommodate the requirements of Muslim prayer, Khan said.

In Muslim prayers, students often stretch out on the ground, an action blocked by church pews in places like Beck Chapel, Khan said.

IUSG acknowledged issues with prayer room size and access in a bill passed in June 2020.

The Wellness Room in the Eskenazi Museum of Art is extremely small and

incapable of hosting group prayers, the bill read.

According to the bill, IUSG and its Student Life Committee planned to research potential spaces for an appropriately-sized interfaith prayer room for all denominations.

Student organizations would be able to reserve the room, but not private parties, according to the bill.

Khan, who introduced the bill, said IU was not clear about the size of the Wellness Room, a space in the Eskenazi Museum of Art. Khan said IU administration marketed the room as a place for group prayer when the MSA asked about prayer spaces last year.

“We were not told about the size of it or how many people it was going to be able to hold,” he said.

The MSA reserves the Solarium every Friday for a larger service with around 40 people, Haque said. The MSA uses the space at no cost, Zackariya said.

IUSG is evaluating room 470 in the Student Activities Tower in the IU Memorial Union as a potential permanent prayer space, Aranyi said. IUSG is working with multiple groups, including the Student Involvement and Leadership Center, Dean of Students office, Office of the Vice President for Diversity, Equity, and Multicultural Affairs, and Provost Lauren Robel.

“It’s really important that we support diverse religious communities on campus, and I think this is one way we can move in that direction,” Aranyi said.

Sophomore Maeve Reilly is in financial limbo.

She works at a grocery store, a job deemed essential in the middle of a pandemic.

This gives her money to be independent, to pay for costs like food, rent and tuition.

She’s taking on the burden of risking her health to work while also being a student, but because her parents claimed her as a dependent on their 2019 tax return, she doesn’t get a stimulus check to supplement her hard work.

“It was feelings of frustration when I was working to help provide food and stuff for people, but I wasn’t getting any help from the government, who I was helping in the long run,” Reilly said.

She’s not the only student who hasn’t received a stimulus check. Nearly two-thirds of college students report their financial situation has become more stressful since the pandemic began, according to the American College Health Association.

Although approximately 159 million Americans received a stimulus check in 2020, most college students weren’t included.

The House of Representatives voted Feb. 3 to move forward with a budget resolution to allow President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion dollar stimulus package to move through Congress. The plan could make dependents over age 17 eligible for stimulus checks.

According to CNBC, the proposed plan includes $1,400 stimulus checks, increasing from the $600 sent in early January. Under the Trump administration’s policy, households received an additional $600 for each

child in a household claimed as a dependent, but only dependents under 17 were eligible. This left many adult students still claimed by their parents as dependents without the aid many other Americans received.

However, Biden’s plan could give adult dependents stimulus money if passed, potentially providing some financial relief for college students.

IU sophomore Sebastian Moats said he hoped to receive a check, but did not because he was claimed as a dependent.

“I pay taxes, I’m trying to do good and better myself, and it just kind of feels like a slap in the face that I’m not getting support even though I’m legally an adult,” Moats said.

Reilly said she thinks older generations don’t understand that college is more expensive than in the past, and students need more help to get by.

“The process has changed so much since other people have been in college that they may not realize, but we can’t simply make all the money for college in one summer,” she said.

Junior Andrea Vidaurre, who has received both stimulus checks, said she also thinks the system is unfair.

Since she wasn’t claimed

as a dependent, Vidaurre received both the initial $1,200 check in April 2020 and the $600 payment in January.

She said she was grateful for the help but thinks those over 18 should receive assistance regardless if they are a dependent.

Biden’s plan is heavily debated among lawmakers. Some congressional lawmakers from both political sides think the money should be better targeted to low-income individuals and families, according to the Washington Post.

IU economics professor Gerhard Glomm said he thinks it’s irresponsible to send stimulus checks to families who aren’t in need of money and have secure jobs.

He said paying off student debt, for example, is not a well-targeted use of the money because ideally, people should spend the stimulus checks soon after they get them to help boost the economy.

Vidaurre said she urges lawmakers to take student needs seriously.

“A lot of college students are financially responsible for themselves,” Vidaurre said. “Even if they might not have kids to pay for or a family to provide for, our jobs have definitely been limited, and we shouldn’t be overlooked.”

Safety report finds overall crime dropped in 2020

By Helen Rummel hrummel@iu.edu | @helenrummel

There was a 6.69% decrease in overall crime in Bloomington according to data from the National Incident-based Reporting System shared during the State of Public Safety Report on Tuesday.

Most types of crime decreased in 2020, Bloomington Police Department Chief Michael Diekhoff said. However, there were three more cases of homicide last year with five in total. There were also increases in burglary, fraud and motor vehicle thefts.

Gun violence contin-

ued to rise last year in both Bloomington and the U.S. There was a 52% increase in crimes involving a gun and 77 guns were stolen last year. The report also found a gun was used in four out of five homicides.

Diekhoff reported a nearly 15% decrease in aggravated assault and attributed it to bars being closed and students being away from IU’s campus for much of the year. Previously, reports of aggravated assaults had been increasing for the past six years, Diekhoff said.

The BPD Training Division conducted more than 8,643 hours of in-service

training in 2020 according to the report. This mostly virtual training was more than three times what is required by the state. BPD focused on de-escalation and anti-bias training in particular last year and will continue to do so Diekhoff said.

BPD will hire two more social workers in the coming weeks in hopes of integrating more non-police personnel on staff. BPD currently employs one social worker.

“We look forward to being able to interact with the public and return to those normal operations,” Diekhoff said.

Look to Rainbow Coalition for allyship

By Alicia Harmon harmonad@iu.edu | @aliharmon55

It’s long past time to learn about the Chicago headquarters of the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party — even more so since it’s Black History Month. Last summer’s Black Lives Matter movement caused increased allyship and exposed the need for performative allyship to stop.

To learn how to best be an ally, look to the Rainbow Coalition, a radical, multiracial coalition based in Chicago.

From them, we can learn what it means to work with vision, bridge divides and get work done that tangibly helps communities.

“Judas and the Black Messiah,” a film about Black Panther Deputy Chairman Fred Hampton and the informant charged to infiltrate the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party, premiers Feb. 12 in theaters and on HBO Max. The Rainbow Coalition still lives on in large, city chapters and on campuses — including ours.

Jakobi Williams, an IU professor of African American and African Diaspora studies and history and the author of “From the Bullet to the Ballot: The Illinois Chapter of the Black Panther Party and Racial Coalition Politics in Chicago,” said the Rainbow Coalition was the brainchild of the Black Panther Party.

The Rainbow Coalition was a progressive, socialist movement that included the Black Panthers and a Puerto Rican gang-turned-human-

rights organization called the Young Lords. Joining them was a white Appalachian migrant, leftist organization called the Young Patriots.

The coalition included Black Panther members Bobby Lee and Fred Hampton along with Young Lords founder José “Cha Cha” Jiménez and Young Patriots leader William “Preacherman” Fesperman. It eventually grew to include other Latino, Asian American, Native American and student organizations among others.

The Rainbow Coalition did not organize around colorblindness and non-confrontational political ideals.

“Chicago then, and still is today, the most racially, residentially segregated city in America,” Williams said.

According to South Side Weekly journalist Jacqueline Serrato, redlining, the systemic manner in which housing and services were segregated and denied to racial undesirables, was violently enforced by white street gangs. This was just one of many racial issues in Chicago.

“Fred Hampton and Bob Lee were able to transcend those so-called differences to bring these people together under the rubric of class solidarity,” Williams said.

They united to deal with poverty, gentrification, police brutality and political disempowerment.

Williams said the coalition saw itself as a continuation of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. ‘s Poor People’s Campaign, a democratic socialist effort

that sought economic justice for poor people across backgrounds.

Survival programs, which the Panthers established to help meet the needs defined in their Ten Point Platform, were instrumental in the Coalition’s work.

According to Serrato, these programs included the free breakfast program, free health clinics, day care centers and other social service programs. The Panthers helped other organizations establish programs in their communities, and these efforts were primarily spear-

Grad students writes book for students of color

By Tiera Howleit thowleit@iu.edu

Navigating through academia as a student of color can be a challenging experience which can include selfdoubt and a lack of access to mental health resources like counseling or therapy, IU graduate student Nelson Zounlome said.

Zounlome wrote about the challenges students of color face in a book titled, “Letters to My Sisters and Brothers: Practical Advice to Successfully Navigate Academia as a Student of Color” which was published in the fall.

Zounlome, who is a counseling psychology doctoral candidate, said he began writing his book about two years ago to create a resource for Black, Indiginous and other students of color.

Zounlome said many students he talked to when conducting his research said they felt as if they were not good enough to thrive in academia.

“A lot of issues students of color face surround being made to feel they are not qualified in interactions with white professors and white peers and make them question themselves,” Zounlome said. “They feel as though they are not credible or smart enough to be in academia.”

Freshman Desirée Taylor said she often feels intimidated in her classes.

“I feel if I ask a question or I don’t understand something, I will be ridiculed by others,” Taylor said. “In one of my classes, I am the only Black person in my class,

and I just feel intimidated because my peers might be ahead of me or know more than me.”

When navigating academia as a student of color, Zounlome said it is important to find a group of people who look like you and value you. For Black women in particular, Zounlome said he found it is difficult to bridge the gaps of intersectionality.

Freshman Trisheena Harris said coming to IU was a major culture shock for her.

“I am used to having a diverse community around me, and coming here I have faced a few challenges with making connections with classmates since this is a predominantly white school,” Harris said.

Harris also said there have been several occasions where she faced racism at IU. “This idea, especially true for Black women in academia, of being made to feel as if they had to choose between their Blackness and being women, is a common challenge among the group,” he said.

The book includes sets of activities and coloring pages for self-care and tools for strengthening mental health.

“Each chapter, at the end of it, has an activity that allows students to engage with the book and chapter topic more,” Zounlome said.

“There is a self-love activity that has students go through and complete different affirmations and questions about what they love most about their identity, culture and accomplishments.”

He also said students of color should listen to their minds and bodies.

“It is really about thinking about yourself more holistically. You are more than a student,” Zounlome said.

“Make sure all of our buckets are filled, and do not just focus on the academia bucket.”

Students should seek out therapy if needed, Zounlome said.

“I definitely feel access to mental health resources could be better,” Harris said.

“Currently, there are not enough. I believe a lot of minority students go through a lot, especially freshmen, and access could be much better.”

While there is often stigma surrounding therapy, Zounlome said therapy is simply having a conversation with someone about challenges in their life.

This book is more than just a compilation of stories and experiences, he said. It is a guided resource to selfcare and mental wellbeing.

Zounlome said he wishes he had a similar resource growing up and that he believes the book will serve as a much needed resource for other students of color, helping address mental health issues and to realize their value in academia.

“There was never a resource I saw and said ‘this is a book for me,’ and that is what I wanted to create,” Zounlome said. “I want students who pick up this book to see themselves reflected in it and realize they can overcome anything that stands in their way within academia.”

headed by women.

Some continue to be implemented by our government today, most notably the School Breakfast Program.

Along with embracing radical politics and emphasizing community programming, The Rainbow Coalition rejected paternalistic forms of allyship that meant others would come into communities as apparent saviors, impose solutions, and dominate leadership.

Williams said Hampton and Lee asserted “that we’re working together in solidarity, but we’re not trying to run

your communities. So you guys advocate for whatever you think is important for your communities, and then when you’re ready to move forward, you contact us and we show up in support.”

As we look at allyship today, it’s important to note the Rainbow Coalition did not come together for diluted ideas of diversity and representation.

They came together because of explicit and joint political goals. They did not dominate conversations of change, nor the communities being changed. They worked

STEFAN’S STANCE ON IT

Black history is incomplete without LGBTQ history Stefan Townes is a junior in English and comparative literature.

Discussions about sexuality and discussions about Blackness seem to be fairly separated for some reason.

Like every Black History Month, the nation has restarted its well-intentioned conversations about the contributions and accomplishments of Black folks.

Big and recognizable names are thrown around for their writings and how they speak truth to the Black experience.

It’s always about slavery abolition or the civil rights movement in the 1960s, but never about an aspect of Blackness just as important: sexuality.

It’s rare to find a single-issue activist. Very few people fight for, say, LGBTQ rights but sit out the rallies for Black Lives Matter. In that same vein, people’s identities are multifaceted. During Black History Month, yes, Blackness should be the central idea, but LGBTQ history in relation to Blackness isn’t a tangent.

Black people have been members of the LGBTQ community for a very long time. In fact, being what we now call LGBTQ was a normalized phenomena of precolonial Black life — homophobia was imported.

Black life, meaning African life, had few issues with homosexuality, and many homophobic laws now in place in Africa are due to colonialization.

Despite being gay, the experience of prominent Black figures in history is often relegated to just their Blackness. Reducing these people’s lives to a single aspect minimizes their struggles and accomplishments.

Many famous names like the authors James Baldwin and Lorraine Hansberry are discussed without once mentioning their sexuality.

Notable Black members of the LGBTQ community include Langston Hughes, Little Richard, Audre Lorde, Alice Walker and Angela Davis.

All are incredibly important names in both their art and the civil rights movement, but this pattern of erasing aspects of their identity goes largely unnoticed.

Sexuality is deeply intertwined with Blackness to the point of being inseparable.

Many of the Jim Crow and slavery era stereotypes of Black folk that still linger on today are related to sexuality. These included examples like the Jezebel, who was a hyper-sexualized depiction of a Black woman, or the Savage, the belief which inaccurately represented Black

Superficial reforms and demonstrations were not — and are not — enough. We need to have specific political vision, engage in community organizing, address policy directly, and work to break down oppressive systems systematically.

men as animalistic and sexually aggressive.

Many Black figures in history have tackled racism and homophobia in their fight for civil rights. Baldwin wrote beautiful essays on the realities of race, as well as his relationship to the wider Black community as a gay man. His work focusing on Blackness was widely read and distributed, but his novel on homosexuality faced difficulty in being published, with Baldwin’s publisher saying it would ruin his career. It was eventually published, but some people diminished Baldwin’s authority to speak on Blackness because of his homosexuality.

Baldwin’s story is one of many Black figures who faced unfair criticism from white people for their race and unfair critique from homophobes for their sexuality.

And in Black History Month, one of those fronts is conveniently forgotten. Is Black sexuality not still Blackness?

Now, this separation could be argued as a good thing.

A person’s sexuality doesn’t change their ability to create wonderful art or contribute greatly to the world as an activist. Still, it’s naive to think sexuality didn’t have an impact on their lives and to forgo mentioning it entirely is unfair.

In a statement, Alipour alleged he did not leave but was removed and never contacted again when he refused to sign the confidentiality agreement.

Alipour said the committee’s executive members, IU administrators Katie Paulin and Kathy Adams Riester, asked all seven students on the committee to sign a confidentiality agreement that would bar them from discussing the content of the meetings with other people.

Paulin is IU’s assistant dean for student support and outreach and Adams Reister is the associate vice provost for student affairs.

Alipour said he asked if this had been a requirement in previous years and said Adams Riester told him it was a new policy. Paulin said in an email that the student co-chairs wanted a written confidentiality agreement to ensure the expectations were clear.

In a Zoom meeting that Paulin and Adams Riester attended, Aranyi and Coates, the student cochairs of the committee, told Alipour he had to sign the agreement to be a part of the committee, Alipour said.

Alipour said he didn’t want to sign the confidentiality agreement because it was too broad. The agreement was indefinite and said he couldn’t talk about any confidential information, he said. Because the confidentiality agreement barred students from talking about committee meetings, he said he was concerned the provost would recommend a fee change students hadn’t agreed with and he wouldn’t be able to tell people.

Aranyi and Coates said the confidentiality agreement only applied to documents shared with the committee, as well as discussions in committee meetings. They said the agreement was a written codification of confidenti-

ality expectations that had been in place for past iterations of the committee.

The confidentiality agreement document says students could not disclose anything they learn about IU, individual departments or student organizations, “including the content of any funding discussions,” while participating in the committee. Confidential information “includes, but is not limited to, information pertaining to the University and individual departments’ business practices, finances, budget, or other internal or sensitive institutional data or information,” according to the confidentiality agreement document.

Paulin, an adviser for the committee, said in an email that she denied anyone was asked to leave the committee because of membership in another organization.

She said IU did not require students to sign a confidentiality agreement, but the university encourages and expects confidentiality on matters discussed in the committee.

In documents and emails that Alipour shared with the IDS, Paulin sent the confidentiality agreement and said, “we would like each of you to sign the attached confidentiality agreement.”

Because some students were receiving class credit for being on the committee, Alipour said he felt like members of the committee weren’t there to actually represent other students.

The committee is student-run and IU did not support having a confidentiality agreement, Carney said.

“We very much advised against the agreement for the sake of transparency,” he said.

Alipour said he believes information discussed by the committee should be public because IU is a public university and the committee deals with public money and information.

“I think all students have a right to know how their money is going to be spent,” he said.

Graduate assistant at AAAMC Bobby Davis expressed excitement that the series will have Black stories told by people within the Black community.

“A lot of times when you’re not from the culture you have no clue, you just start making assumptions about what might be going on,” Davis said. “Some folks might think some things that are happening are crazy.

Some folks might think that some of the things that are happening are just, you know, this outrageous demonstrative behavior, when in fact, these are cultural expressions from African American people that we’ve used – these expressions – for centuries. It’s us – it’s us literally staying alive.”

The series is perfectly timed, lifting underheard Black voices up in a time when our country is in a delicate transition phase between the Trump and Biden administrations.

We are still dealing with the pain of last year’s protests in response to the slew of police killings and brutality, and the insurrection at the Capitol last month.

“I think it’s taught people that they need to do a lot more when it comes to understanding the Black community, and listening and understanding their stories,” Semian said. “So just at that level, I think there should be more attention on Black voices, but also not just the struggle of Black people but also their joy. And I think these stories are so joyful, and I think that’s just as important too as learning the struggles of what Black people have had to go through.”

The team behind “AAAMC Speaks” want students to enjoy the series and connect with its subjects, but also encourage them to further explore the archives themselves, even after the final episode airs.

“A lot of people don’t really know about the archives,” Nieves said.

“They don’t really think to visit an archive collection. But it’s a really cool way to find out more about any type of history that may not be documented in books that may not be talked about in our classes.”

With all on-campus residents planning to return for the spring semester back in their residence halls or greek houses, Bloomington’s COVID-19 prevalence rate increased slightly to 0.5% from 0.2% the week prior.

From the 101 live-in greek-life students tested, no one tested positive. More live-in greek students will be selected for mitigation testing now that they have moved back in. Dr. Aaron Carroll, IU’s director of mitigation testing, said in his weekly Wednesday webinars in the fall semester IU plans to test every live-in greek house student and residence hall resident at least once a week this semester.

Residence hall residents had a 0.2% positivity rate out of 684 tests. The number of administered tests will also largely increase in next week’s dashboard update since residence hall residents are back on campus. Live-out greek-life students had a 0.4% positivity rate out of 1,584 tests. All other off-campus students had a 0.4% positivity rate out of 7,646 tests.

There were 22 additional COVID-19 cases self-reported on the Bloomington campus.

Geronimo did just that.

He was only the second Hoosier to score a field goal — at the 11:49 mark.

“He’s really moving the ball and making other guys better within our offense,” Miller said. “He does everything for us. The fact that he’s playing well right now to me gives us great confidence.”

Over the next five minutes, the Hoosiers regained their momentum and scored 10 points, giving up zero points in the paint.

But they couldn’t guard the perimeter and gave up two 3-pointers from junior guard Joe Wieskamp.

With Garza on the bench with two fouls, the Hoosiers only allowed 4 points in the paint in the first half. But IU still couldn’t guard the perimeter, giving up six 3-pointers.

the Hoosiers and Hawkeyes exchanged going on runs until there were about two minutes left in the game. The teams traded buckets and often tied, spending 5:31 of the game tied.

It wasn’t until the last second of the game that Franklin — who was only 1-9 from the field — hit the dagger to put the game away.

“Our teammates don’t let us get our confidence down,” Franklin said.

“They believe in us. We’re gonna hit the big shot.”

With the win, the Hoosiers snapped a two-game losing streak after losing to No. 12 Illinois on Tuesday.

THE JUNONOMICON

Which historical IU mascot would win in a fight for the soul of Hoosier pride?

Juno Martin (she/her) is a junior in studio art.

The abyssal void of IU’s mascot was not always so disappointingly vacant. IU’s history is littered with attempts to find a champion to represent the school’s spirit — attempts that ultimately resulted in forsaken failures.

However, I am a strong proponent of second chances, and I believe IU should reinstate the strongest of its former mascots. By strongest I mean both conceptually, as a symbol for the soul of our university, as well as physically, as a combatant who could best their competition.

Imagine a parking lot filled with characters of IU’s past, fighting to prove themselves the ultimate mascot.

Reviewing the strengths and weaknesses of IU’s historical mascots, I will determine who would best champion our university.

1935 — The Hoosier Schoolmaster Starting an IU game as a hobbling old man, sporting a wig, cane and 19thcentury attire, this mascot would slowly get more and more hyped, increasing in speed and athletic ability — a power that was supposedly linked to the band’s accelerating tempo. While this ability would eventually make the Hoosier Schoolmaster a force to be reckoned with, it would be vulnerable in the early stages of a scuffle.

1959 — Ox the Bulldog Is he an ox? Is he a bulldog? A little bit of both? No, he’s just a bulldog, but probably a very good, albeit his-

torically underwhelming, boy. With less than a year of service, it is not likely that this contender would be fueled by the fervor of school spirit. Nonetheless, having the powers of a bulldog goes a long way in the realm of combat.

1965 — The Bison Conceptually, the Bison is a badass mascot, trampling the competition’s morale.

However, in execution, the Bison was just a student in a mask, and it was discontinued for being generally disappointing. The design’s physically light build would give this mascot a combative advantage in terms of maneuverability. On the other hand, the lack of armholes in the suit leaves the fighter with limited offensive ability and recoverability.

1979 — Mr. Hoosier Pride Nobody knows what a Hoosier is, and while I am all for vague and mysterious folklore origins, I believe the value of those qualities is only maintained as long as this being is not manifested into a mascot. Sporting a cowboy hat and a large smile, this mascot, fortunately, was also denounced and discontinued for being so unpleasant.

Their Parking Lot Battle It’s a fair-weathered afternoon, and a commotion is heard from across the parking lot. There, an encircling crowd of spectators cheer and cry for the spectacle that is brewing: IU’s four former mascots are rearing up to fight for their right to mascothood.

ILLUSTRATION BY JUNO MARTIN | IDS

Mr. Hoosier Pride, being the nastiest boy of the bunch, is likely to strike first.

The Hoosier Schoolmaster, brittle without the moraleboosting band performance, is a prime target for some cane-sweeping shenanigans.

He is pushed over, fallen and unable to get up, defeated. In many ways, this defeat is fitting in terms of school spirit — a disappointing old man, short on the incentive and thus failing for not acting faster — but this sight is certainly not inspiring.

Witnessing the villainy of the terrible Mr. Hoosier Pride, it would not be surprising if Ox and the Bison were to gang up against this wretched foe. In a visually comical but spiritually in-

spiring act of animal solidarity, they instinctively go for the obvious wombo-combo: The Bison charges Mr. Hoosier Pride, who trips over the bulldog braced behind him.

Though a big-headed cowboy may be very representative of several students I have encountered on campus, it is ultimately this Hoosier’s downfall, as his high center of gravity leaves him defenseless against his toppling doom.

The inspiring moment of allyship flips into a tragic but inevitable betrayal. Though the teamwork of Ox the Bulldog and the Bison got them this far, only one will prevail.

Obviously, it’s the bulldog. The Bison’s inferior maneuverability and restric-

SPEAKING OF SEX

tive number of limbs aside leaves him standing with no chance. It’s a dude in a costume fighting an actual bulldog, a beast with a bite force of more than 300 pounds.

The Conclusion Costumes and designs can be passed down from vessel to vessel, but poor Ox the Bulldog is dead and, even with a second chance, will die again. Though the Bison was unable to hypothetically best its canine opponent, I believe it wins by default in the big picture.

I also find it the most fitting — in terms of Hoosier pride. No other mascot is more associated with Indiana than the bison, which is depicted on the state’s seal.

As a symbol for athletics, a bison is a powerful visual to drive morale and could be quite the performer, if design modifications were made.

Even today, many decades since its discontinuity, the bison is a favored candidate for IU’s next mascot attempt, if one is ever made.

I find the story of the bison quite inspiring, for this large, beautiful bovine has faced the threat of extinction and, with careful conservation measures, the population is on the road to prosperity. Perhaps the mascot, too, could make such a comeback. jamimart@iu.edu

MY TAKE

As in-person classes begin, we must remember the pandemic isn’t over Chris Sciortino (he/him) is a sophomore in theater and political science.

ILLUSTRATION BY JUNO MARTIN | IDS

The right way to masturbate is doing whatever feels good to you Peyton Jeffers (she/they) is a senior in human development, family studies and human sexuality.

I masturbate, but I don’t think in the “right” way.

Frankly, I’m terrified of what’s down there, but I still want to have sex at some point. Is this okay? Sometimes I think having a loving partner will make me feel at ease with my body, but other times I worry I’ll never be comfortable with anyone until I am with myself, and I’m not sure when that will happen.

Masturbation and spending quality time with our genitals can feel like a shameful or even dirty act. These feelings can stem from a number of places, whether they be psychological, traumabased or even cultural ideas about how we “should” or “shouldn’t” masturbate.

Silence surrounding desire and masturbation has ingrained in us self-doubt and a willingness to compromise our pleasure. Thankfully, there is no right or wrong way to masturbate.

I spoke with Yael R. Rosenstock Gonzalez, a sex educator, coach, researcher and author pursuing a doctoral degree in health behavior at the IU-Bloomington School of Public Health. Her work focuses on identity, relationships, consent, pleasure and communication.

Masturbation is a safe, common and natural way to learn about our bodies. For people with vulvas and vaginas, it can involve methods such as penetration and clitoral stimula-

tion — with or without a sex toy — to achieve orgasm. Or it can involve none of those things. You can masturbate to relieve stress, explore your body or for any reason that works for you.

“You don’t have to reach orgasm through masturbation,” Rosenstock Gonzalez said. “It’s really a space and time for you to dedicate to yourself in whatever pleasurable form that is for you, and ideally without having to have specific goals, since those for some people can be stressful.”

If you’re having trouble masturbating, what is your intention? Is your intention to prove that you can orgasm? Or is it to know your body, feel different sensations and explore your body?

Our brains are the most useful tool in how we decide to masturbate, so a positive view of pleasure and the ability to be vulnerable with ourselves and our potential partners is important. That’s not to say that masturbation and figuring out what makes us feel good is a simple task.

Often, when we’re scared to talk about sex or even our genitals, it’s rooted in some form of shame. This might be something to consider before or while you are sexually active. If you are experiencing shame, where else in your life are you experiencing shame and how is that hindering you?

“If you’re unable to share when something hurts, or when you do or don’t want to do something, or if you’re unable to share your insecurities and ask for support in

being present, those things will make it difficult for you to have a safe, consensual and pleasurable experience,” Rosenstock Gonzalez said.

Regardless, getting to know your body in its entirety is not necessarily a requirement before having sex.

The emotional and intimate aspects of partnered interactions may help you learn about your body in conjunction with your partners if you are comfortable and in a safe space to request your wants and needs.

“I do not think you need to love yourself in the ways people tell you you should,” she said.

Instead, Rosenstock Gonzalez said, you should enter a space in which you can ask if your situation is serving or honoring you or feeding into negative tendencies.

Toxic positivity culture teaches us we’re always supposed to be happy with our bodies and love ourselves all the time. We can alleviate some pressure by embracing our vulnerability and being open to confronting some of our innermost feelings of shame.

Ultimately, deciding when, where, why and how to masturbate or have sex should be a decision only you can make.

Rosenstock Gonzalez told me that body love is not a destination, but a lifelong journey. The right way to masturbate is doing what feels good to you, and you do not need to master your body completely in order to have safe and pleasurable experiences. pmjeffer@iu.edu

As February began, thousands of students returned to Bloomington for the hybrid in-person and online spring semester.

Many students are hoping this semester will look more normal than the fall. But that shouldn’t be the case.

The Indiana State Department of Health reported a sustained decline of COVID-19 case numbers, hospitalizations and deaths in Indiana, which is an encouraging turn of events.

The return of students to campuses across the state threatens this trend and poses a heightened risk of localized outbreaks and infection hotspots, including in Bloomington.

To combat this frightening possibility as we return to classes, IU students must continue to practice COVID-19 safe behavior or they risk creating another dangerous outbreak. Safe behavior includes double masking, which was recently recommended by the Monroe County Health Department, staying socially distant from people outside of your home and limiting time spent in public spaces.

Even though most of this behavior is already encouraged on college campuses, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention observed a rapid rise in coronavirus cases within two weeks of colleges opening in the fall.

Monroe County reported a spike in coronavirus cases soon after classes began last semester. The county reported 16 cases Aug. 25, 2020, the day after classes started, according to the New York Times.

Shortly after the move-in period, the county saw a steady increase with cases peaking at 238 on Sept. 11, 2020 and falling to 114 the next day.

The rise of case numbers is sometimes attributed to an increase in testing, but it

is possible for testing to rapidly increase without seeing more coronavirus spread.

If students had remained distanced and complied with all CDC and university guidelines, we might have avoided a local outbreak.

This phenomenon of rising cases as students returned occurred at universities across the country, not just at IU. An October, 2020 CDC study of COVID-19 clusters on college campuses found student gatherings both on and off campus contributed to rapid case growth in student populations after a university’s campus had opened.

“This suggests the need for robust and enhanced implementation of mitigation efforts and the need for additional mitigation measures specific to this setting,” according to the study.

Mitigation measures include ensuring students are compliant with mask policies in public spaces, limiting the use of shared study spaces and cracking down on large gatherings.

The presence of the new B.1.1.7 variant of COVID-19 in the United States also poses a risk to students. A December, 2020 research letter from the CDC said “rapid epidemic growth” of the variant in the United Kingdom suggested a higher level of transmission, leading to the possibility of increased hospitalizations and deaths as cases

climbed. This variant is already present in Indiana, as the CDC confirmed nine known cases in the state already, as of Feb. 8.

The prevention of COVID-19 spread is not just a numbers game, but a game of common sense. Start with evaluating your current actions and risk for contracting COVID-19, and then work on a plan to minimize your chances of spreading the virus to other people.

College towns have started to brace for a surge in cases. In Ann Arbor, Michigan, Washtenaw County issued a two week stay-inplace order for all University of Michigan students living on or near campus to combat the rapid spread of COVID-19 through its winter term.

Measures such as masks, hybrid learning and social distancing work, but we have to move beyond that conversation. Now, we must stick vigilantly to the guidelines outlined, such as avoiding large gatherings, by our local and national public health offices.

We’ve almost made it a year into the pandemic.

Sadly, more than 450,000 Americans haven’t. It’s time to commit to the responsibility we have as students to limit the spread and save lives.

Otherwise, we’re looking at dark days in the weeks ahead. csciorti@iu.edu

Lotus Festival scheduled for Sept. 23-26

By Alexis Lindenmayer lindena@iu.edu | @lexilindenmayer

Though live performances have been halted by the coronavirus pandemic, the Lotus Education & Arts Foundation has hopes to bring back the energy and community spirit of its annual Lotus World Music & Arts Festival in 2021.

The fall festival was virtual last year due to the pandemic, but this year, the organization announced Oct. 20, 2020, that the festival is scheduled to happen in-person, Sept 2326. Tickets will go on sale in August.

“The overarching statement for Lotus is that we are continually examining how we can provide content and engagement for people of Bloomington and South Central Indiana,” foundation executive director Tamara Loewenthal said.

Loewenthal said while the festival is planned to be held in-person, there is no guarantee that this won’t change. If an in-person festival is impossible, the event will be livestreamed that weekend.

Lotus is staying closely in touch with the Monroe County Health Department, following the federal government’s COVID-19 restrictions and monitoring news regarding how people are getting vaccinated. With this information, the organization will make decisions on what the festival will look like.

“When are you ready to go hear live music?”

Loewenthal said. “For a

lot of people, it’s going to be after they’re vaccinated, and so we’re already booking some artists for the festival with the hopes that they can be here in person.”

Loewenthal said decisions on whether or not festival events will be livestreamed or in person won’t be confirmed until June. She understands this event will not be the typical festival size, but hopes there will be some aspects of normal live shows.

“People might mix and match their festival experience to what feels comfortable to them,” Loewethal said. “But we’re quite sure that we will be able to do a few live things and we’re going with that assumption.”

Normally, the festival features artists from all over the world who perform in venues in downtown Bloomington. The streets downtown close for the festival so participants can walk from venue to

venue and experience live music and workshops.

In a normal year, the festival is a gem of Bloomington, according to foundation marketing and communications director Kathleen Clark-Perez.

“The popularity of the festival and the support that the community shows the festival shows how dedicated the Bloomington community is to making positive social change and to embracing diversity and the beauty as a whole,” Clark-Perez said.

While the majority of the festival last year was virtual, Lotus was able to organzie one socially distanced concert at Switchyard Park with 150 attendees who signed up online.

Loewenthal said that during this concert and at their live workshops last fall, Lotus was cautious of social distancing, wearing masks and keeping track of people’s names for contact tracing.

“We haven’t had a sin-

gle case of transmission,” Loewenthal said. “We’re super careful about the way we produce our events. We don’t want staff at risk, and we certainly don’t want to put artists, attendees, or audience members at risk.”

Clark-Perez said a lot of her job recently has related to helping Lotus continue programming through the pandemic.

“Every organization has kind of gone through that learning curve to figure out how to livestream pre recorded events or get a live emcee to introduce something pre recorded or to have an artist take over our Facebook page and do something truly live,” Clark-Perez said.

Lotus virtually coordinated Lotus Blossoms in April, a four-week series of artist workshops and performances focused on outreach and education to students. Loewenthal said despite the quick turnaround, Lotus was able to host four live streams from some of the scheduled artists.

Despite the pandemic, Lotus is continuing to plan future events. Development coordinator Katie Bethel said their work is extremely important right now as access to arts and cultural activity has been decreased due to COVID-19.

“It’s very important to try and continue to bring that to the community because the arts inspire hope for the future when there is so much coming down the pipeline for everyone,” Bethel said.

IU students turn to TikTok for more comprehensive sex ed

By Taylor Harmon tayharmo@iu.edu

Sex education is mandatory in only 30 U.S. states. Out of those 30 states, only 22 require it to be medically accurate.

While Indiana does require sex education, it also requires abstinence as a topic of instruction and usually leaves out topics such as gender identity, consent, pleasure and non-heterosexual sex. To fill in the gaps in their education, some IU students are turning to the internet for answers on basic anatomy and intercourse.

Though it may be surprising that an app known for dance trends also has comprehensive sex ed, TikTok has become a popular place for students to learn what their schools didn’t teach.

Sexuality professionals, ranging from sex therapists to educators and doctors, are taking to the app to create accessible, fact-based videos on mulitple aspects of human sexuality. These creators leave their comment sections open and often make videos responding to questions their audience leaves there.

Raygan Savage, a sophomore psychology major at IU and Indianapolis native, said learning sex ed through this medium is less intimidating.

“It feels more comfortable to learn on an app instead of a classroom,” Savage said. “You can comment behind a screen where no one knows you instead of raising your hand and

asking a question out loud.”

Julia Derheimer, a counseling psychology major at IU from Fort Wayne, Indiana, shaid she appreciates the ability to learn about pleasure in a non-sexualized way.

“Just seeing videos about different pleasure points and how to help women reach orgasms is helpful and validating,” Derheimer said. “Especially when it is really clinical and not trying to be sexualized. It’s just there to teach.”

Savage also finds informative videos about pleasure to be helpful to watch.

“As someone who identifies as a gay woman, it has helped with understanding my pleasure and my partner’s,” Savage said.

Since TikTok is an audiovisual social media platform, it appeals to people who do not consider themselves textual learners. This is something senior Olivia DeCrane said she appreciates about learning sex ed through TikTok. “Growing up, I had to learn a lot about sex through websites like Tumblr and Yahoo Answers, which isn’t very reliable and were text-based,” Decrane said. “Because TikTok is made up of videos, it’s really helpful to see that visual representation, especially when looking at pleasurable positions or parts of a vagina.”

Until there is more of an emphasis and importance put on fact-based, well-funded comprehensive sex education in this country, TikTok is a great stand-in for people of all ages.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Conference tournament relocated IU to hire coach Deland McCullough

By Caleb Coffman

calcoffm@iu.edu | @CalCoff

By Evan Gerike egerike@iu.edu | @EvanGerike

IU football is reportedly filling its open running backs coach position with a familiar name, bringing back Deland McCullough, who coached the position from 2011-2016.

McCullough will replace Mike Hart, who left IU to take a running backs coach position at Michigan this season.

Hart replaced McCullough

in the 2017 season.

McCullough is coming off back-to-back Super Bowl appearances as the running backs coach for the Kansas City Chiefs.

He spent 2017 at the University of Southern California before starting a three-year stint with Kansas City in 2018. Running backs Tevin Coleman and Jordan Howard were both selected in the NFL Draft under McCullough.

The Big Ten Conference officially announced Tuesday that the 2021 men’s conference tournament will be relocated to Indianapolis. The tournament will be played in Lucas Oil Stadium, according to a press release.

The men’s tournament was originally planned to be played in Chicago at the United Center but will relocate to Indianapolis where the men’s NCAA Tournament will be played this year.

The Big Ten women’s basketball tournament, which will be played March 9-13, was already planned to be played at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.

“The decision to relocate

the tournament to Indianapolis was based on multiple factors,” the Big Ten said in a statement. “First and foremost was the health and safety of student-athletes, coaches, officials and conference constituents. Hosting both the men’s and women’s basketball tournaments in the same city allows for cohesive testing and medical protocols for both events, as well as centralized accommodations surrounding the competition venues.”

IU head coach Archie Miller said Feb. 1 he fully supported the idea of relocating the tournament to Indianapolis, especially with the reduced travel protecting Big Ten teams that make the NCAA Tournament.

The men’s tournament will be played March 10-14.

IU wins 2021 Big IU defeats Purdue to end regular season Ten match play

By Colin Wright

vidual golfers trading leads and ties throughout the afternoon. The Hoosiers were able to come back for a 3-2 victory after the Hawkeyes led by as much as 3.5-1.5.

The match was ultimately decided by the matchup between IU junior Mitch Davis and Iowa senior Alex Schaake, the No. 1 golfers for their teams.

“I kinda thought his match might be very pivotal,” Mayer said. “Little did I know it was going to be the match that determined the outcome.”

Davis won hole 17 to tie the match, leading to a pivotal 18th hole. Both Davis and Schaake hit a chip shot late as they neared the green.

Davis’ shot pulled him closer to the green than Schaake. All Davis had to do to win was make this one putt.

His mind cleared as the metal of his putter made contact with the ball, Davis said, which promptly cruised into the hole to end both the match and a 12-year championship drought.

“I couldn’t really think about anything except for making it,” Davis said.

Davis’ win, which came after consecutive ties against Minnesota and Wisconsin, added to those of Shepherd and junior Harry Reynolds to lift the Hoosiers above the Hawkeyes.

IU will return to play Feb. 14 in the Mobile Bay Intercollegiate at the Crossings Course of RTJ Magnolia Grove in Mobile, Alabama.

After winning the inaugural Big Ten Match Play Championship in 2009 and not appearing in the final since 2011, IU men’s golf ended both streaks with a win over Iowa on Saturday to open the season.

IU opened up competition on Friday against Ohio State, coming away with a 4.5-0.5 victory.

The Buckeyes had no wins against the Hoosiers, with the match between IU senior Ethan Shepherd and Ohio State freshman Adam Wallin being halved.

The team saw similar results against Minnesota later Friday, ending the match with another 4.5-0.5 victory.

IU felt as though it had a deep team heading into the competition, head coach Mike Mayer said, and he thinks they proved it.

“We got contributions from everybody in the lineup, which is what it takes to win in this league,” Mayer said after the event.

After two dominant performances against the Buckeyes and Golden Gophers, the team spoke about staying aggressive in the matches to come, Mayer said.

The Hoosiers defeated the Wisconsin Badgers by 3.5-1.5 in the semifinals Saturday, advancing to the Championship Match against the Iowa Hawkeyes.

The Championship Match was a close affair, with indi-

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is an 8 — Insights, breakthroughs and revelations sparkle in the dark of the New Moon. Dreams seem within reach.

Practice benefits a philosophical, spiritual and mindful phase.

After a successful meet that saw both the No. 7 Indiana men’s and No. 12 women’s swimming and diving programs beat Ohio State on Jan. 22, both teams returned to competition Saturday for a dual-meet at Purdue.

The Indiana men’s team entered the competition 3-0 on the year after 173127, 241-59 and 185-115 wins against Michigan, Ohio State and Northwestern.

The Indiana women’s team was 2-1 on the year after beating No. 24 Northwestern and No. 14 Ohio State 177-117 and 166-134 and losing to No. 9 Michigan with a final score of 126-174.

The Indiana women’s team also competed against Rutgers on Saturday in dualmeet format for the first time since the Scarlet Knights joined the Big Ten in 2014.

Ohio State was scheduled to compete against Michigan on Saturday in Ann Arbor, Michigan. However, because of Michigan’s pause on all athletic activities following positive tests of the B.1.1.7 COVID-19 variant, the Buckeyes lost a meet.

In the wake of this cancellation, both the Ohio State men’s and women’s programs were added to the Saturday slate in West Lafayette, Indiana.

Because both Hoosier men’s and women’s teams swam against the Buckeyes on Jan. 22, IU and Ohio State decided their competition would not be scored.

The IU women’s swimming team cheers on a teammate Feb. 23, 2020, in the Counsilman-Billingsley Aquatics Center. Both the men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams beat Purdue and Rutgers on Saturday in West Lafayette, Indiana.

ing, Indiana had won 10 straight dual meets against Purdue on the men’s side and nine straight on the women’s end.

Sophomore Brendan Burns, who swims the backstroke, said he was proud of his team’s recent performances, but still understood the importance of the rivalry matchup.

“It was really important to get the job done against Purdue,” Burns said. ”We went into the meet undefeated and definitely didn’t want to drop our last meet.”

The two Hoosier teams put themselves in position early to continue both long winning streaks against the Boilermakers.

Burns swept all of the Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is an 8 — Begin a new chapter together. Partnership blossoms with the Aquarius New Moon. Collaborations flower.

The Berwyn, Pennsylvania, native — who has now won seven individual events across the 2021 season — credited his recent success to boosts in practicing ability and confidence.

“I’ve been practicing much better this year than I did last year, having had an entire year to get used to collegiate swimming,” Burns said. “The better practicing is really showing in my races.
